Muttering under my breath about demanding dragon slayers and stupid guild masters I stuff clean clothes into the duffle bag I just unpacked. Did Master really have to pair me up with the most irate dragon slayer for a mission right before my rent was do? Urg. There will be no money for rent. I realize with an audible groan that Natsu will try to follow us. Then remembering that he went fishing with Happy I relax. At least that's one catastrophe averted.

I summon Virgo and ask her to store my bag in the sprit world. Then rush to the station.

When I got there, it was easy to find my maroon haired companion because a circle of people avoided me. As I approach, he glares at me and says "You're late. Let's go Bright Eyes." I nod in response and follow in step. All while muttering under my breath "You didn't give me a time." Asshole.

He smirks at me as he enters the train car obviously hearing me and the smirk doesn't fade until the train lurches forward. As his smirk disappears mine appears. Serves him right. "Where's the mission request?" I ask. He groans as he shifts to grab a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and shoves it in my face.

Reading it over I got the feeling this was a set up. Was it the master? Or Mira…Or Cana? God knows they are trying to get me in a relationship…or laid. I look over the reward again, although suspicious I won't argue because I am getting new friends. I cast my gaze over to Cobra and by the looks of it he looks like he is going to puke and with his current trajectory the projectile vomit would land on me. Sighing I grab a bottle from my pocket and take out one of the white packets. Then grabbing the provided customary water bottle I add the herbs to the drink and shake it. The color of the water turning murky brown green. Once done, I throw it at Cobra's face.

Surprisingly and unfortunately, he catches the bottle and looks at me suspiciously. "What's this shit Bright Eyes?"

"Don't you know already." He looks at the bottle and shakes his head. "Drink it. If it were poison you couldn't die anyways." He glares at me and takes a big gulp of it and spews it out. I was already prepared due to his confusion and I dodge.

"What the fuck Bright Eyes. This shit is disgusting." I roll my eyes. "It's medicine to help with motion sickness." He looks at the drink again in disgust, but he drinks it as quickly as possible. After doing so it looks like he might puke but luckily, he doesn't. As the medicine has more time to work, he starts to gain color again. He could at least say thank you. I sulk while looking out the window. But, as the train rocks back and forth I slowly drift into a light sleep.
