Pictures

LUCY'S POV

The next day we made it back to the village, parents and friends came out in droves once they saw their children. They were a bit wary about us. Hai was in human form and I had him fast asleep on my back. Levy walked over and whispered to me,

"He's really cute." I laugh at my regular voice level.

"Nothing can wake him up easily when he's dead asleep. You don't have to whisper." I suddenly was blinded by a flash of light and blinked to find a camera. Levy had just taken a picture of us,

"I'm sure that Reedus will paint great paintings of you guys but I want one to frame and put in my book of missions." At this Gajeel commented from behind her,

"She takes a picture on every damn mission she take. I've just gotten use to her weirdness." Levy hits him with her hand lightly on the arm and huffs,

"I'm not weird."

"Sure you're not." Gajeel replies in a teasing voice. Eww gross they're all lovey-dovey. Suddenly a great Idea hits me,

"Why don't we take a group picture, so we can all remember this mission." At this Levy brightens and Gajeel visibly shrinks and mutters under his breath,

"I look awful in pictures." Unfortunately levy was already gone and was explaining the idea for the rest of the group. I woke Hai up with a few shakes and when he didn't stir I pulled out a small bag that I kept in my pocket and sprinkled the finely ground pepper neer his nose. A second later he sneezed himself awake. Hai sent me a scathing glare and I said

"Levy wants to take a group picture." That was all I needed to say, a moment later he was straightening his clothes and combed his fingers thru his hair. He was still a dragon and liked to look good. I walked over to the group and lined up with everyone else's. Levy had cohorced one of the villagers to take the picture. We all stood in a big group blob thing, tall people in the back shortest in the front.

"3.2.1." flash and the villager took the photo. Levy smiled and said to us all,

"I'll get us each a copy." We all odds our thanks. The camera used magic to take the picture and you could take it to a shop to get them magically transferred to paper.
