Gray:"Don't just sit there feeling sorry for her. Go say hi."
Cana:"I tried that, but she totally ignored me."
Alice takes a few bites of her mint ice cream.
Gray:"Well, she should understand by now that she's not gonna get anywhere in this guild if she doesn't wanna talk to the Gray."
Alice face palms.
Cana:"You are getting way to big for you britches there, streaker."

Erza:"Is there a problem?"
Gray:"You know this is a wizard's guild, right? That stupid armor won't protect you here."
Erza:"Maybe not but at least I have the common decency to wear something. That's more than I can say for you, perv."
Alice bursts out laughing and so does everyone else in the guild.

Erza:"All right, give me your best shot."
Gray blushes and Alice gives a chuckle.
Gray:"Oh, well, uh..."
Erza:"What's the matter? You're not chickening out, are you?"
Gray:"Tell me something. How come you're alone all the time?"
Alice:"It would be nice to know."
Erza looks down to the ground.
Erza:"I just prefer to be alone 'cause I get nervous around other people."
Alice:"Oh, yeah?"
Gray:"Well, you're alone now, so why you crying?"
