*The luxury bus rumbles along the coastal road, sunlight glaring through the windows. On Master Markov's orders, the guild is on mandatory retreat, meticulously organized by Mira. Up front, Lucy and Levy debate the merits of a recent novel, their voices a lively hum. Erza serenely finishes a forkful of strawberry shortcake beside Wendy, who sleeps with her head against the seat. A few rows back, Gajeel and TigerLily sit in wordless tension across the aisle from Natsu—pale, sweating, and pressed to the glass—and a droopy-eyed Happy. In the rear, Juvia's gaze burns into the back of Gray's head, but he remains fixed on the passing palm trees and ocean. (You fill in the rest of the bus—choose your seat and who you're with. Jellal isn't here yet; he'll meet us at the resort.)*
