Chapter 1: Anniversary

Lucy P.O.V

Usually weekends at the guild were full of laughter, music, dancing and the occasional brawl here and there. After joining the guild I've come to adapt and even join in on the escapades. Ever since the defeat of Acnologia and Zeref things were fairly peaceful here in Magnolia. Of course there were jobs to be done and the occasional dark guild to be shut down, but compared to the things we were used to it was fairly easy going. This weekend was special though. It marked 3 years since that before mentioned victory. In celebration for that we weren't the only guild here so things were extra loud and extra crazy.

"What did you say flame brain!" Shouted a very drunk and very annoyed Gray. "If you got a problem with the way I dress then say it to my face." He said, shirtless and pretty much half naked.

"How you dress, you are barely dressed ice for brains!" The pink haired dragon slayer shouted back his fist a blaze. "I was just saying you should keep your clothes on!" he shouted as they begun fighting as they usually do. Cheers started to rise as many of the wizards began placing bets on who would win.

I was about to go get Erza when I was stopped by the twin dragons from sabretooth. Although the two of them were dressed up they still had the whole twin dragon theme going. Rogue wore a black suit while Sting was in white, so the usual. They were also accompanied by there exceeds. Lector was wearing a tiny bow tie and Frosh, was well Frosh.

"Are they always this wired Lucy or are they just drunk?" Sting asked me as we gave each other a friendly hug. "If someone doesn't stop them soon then the whole building is gonna come down on top of us." he said as a loud crash was heard from the fight.

"You think this is bad, just wait until someone tries to stop them." I replied letting out a small giggle. "Of course there aren't many people who can do that easily." I finished as their eyes let out a shine of determination. I definitely should have worded that more carefully.

Sure enough the two dragon slayers jumped into the fray and the chaos grew into an absolute uproar. I looked around and saw the many happy faces of our guild mates and fellow guilds. The master while still stuck in his wheelchair was drinking the night away, he's recovered slowly since the fight but it's a long term battle and with his age we don't know if he'll ever be able to walk again. I noticed a large beastly man jump into the fray, Elfman must be showing off to Evergreen again, those two have been dating a while it was obvious flirting at first since what happened on Tenrou but they made it official about a month ago.

"You can do it Gray!" Shouted a blue cloaked woman. Juvia and Gray had also started dating. Surprisingly she seems to have calmed down which seemed to help Gray not lose his cool. They were definitely one of the power couples in the guild.

A table flew through the air nearly crushing a very frightened Levy, luckily a certain slayer of her's sliced it in half before it hit her and their young child Emma. Needless to say Gajeel was pissed and ended up joining into the fray. Since Levy's announcement a few days after my book reward years ago, it's been an honor to watch the little one grow. She'll be two very soon and as her godmother I still needed to get her a gift.

"Just another day at the guild hall." She shouted waving me over. "Look who's here Emma it's auntie Lucy." she cooed causing the little black haired girl to giggle. I tickled under her chin as her little yellow eyes shined with happiness. "I swear these boys of ours will never change will they?" she smiled.

"Personally, I hope they don't otherwise they wouldn't be the same if they did." I said as we both laughed. Natsu and I have been living together for quite some time, we haven't gotten as far as Levy and Gajeel, but to be honest it wasn't like we didn't try. I looked around the room and noticed someone was missing. Mirajane and Lisanna were talking with some of the other guild members. The Thunder Legion were laughing and drinking. All except for Bickslow who was also nowhere to be seen. "Have you seen Erza, usually she would have the fight ended by now?" I asked noticing how the battle itself seemed to be calming down since everyone in it seem to be evenly matched.

"Maybe she stepped out to meet her man." She replied in a teasing tone. "You know they meet up in secret, even if we all know they do." she finished standing up from her seat. "I'll let you know if I see her on my way home this little one needs to get to bed." she said lifting Emma up in the air. "GAJEEL TIME TO GO!" she shouted and the iron dragon slayer instantly stopped what he was doing and walked to his fiancee immediately.

It's amazing the way she can do that, I wish Natsu was that easy to control. I let out a sigh noticing how the battle was now over and all who were in it were now collapsed on the floor. As I dragged him off the floor I began to wonder how I even put up with this man. However the thought of Erza meeting with Jellal in private wasn't a strange one, we all did know she met with him and she has even admitted to it, but she mentioned to me yesterday that he would be out of contact for a while so the real question was where was she right now.

Erza P.O.V

I let out a long sigh as I heard yet another brawl start up in the guild hall. Natsu and Gray were at it yet again. Hopefully someone else can deal with it tonight as I was not currently in the mood at the moment. I sat in silence on the rooftop, I come up here every now and then to get away from the noise. I noticed a few people had left already, either from being tuckered out or just too drunk. I did notice that the younger wizards kept themselves busy with training of all things. Wendy, Chelia and Romeo along with Carla and Lily were in the courtyard training it brought a smile to my face to see the next generation so willing to get stronger. Not that they weren't strong, but there was always room for improvement. Chelia has come a long way since what happened to her, she is almost back to the strength she had during the games long ago. Wendy was a great help to her they were pretty much like sisters by now. Since Lyon and the regular Lamia Scale wizards were busy on jobs Chelia decided to come stay with us for the time being.

"Okay Lily I'm ready." Romeo said taking a fighting stance. They had been training non stop all day, Romeo was dead set on getting his new technic down before the night was out.

"Then let's go again." Lily said powering up. It was always amazing to see such a tiny cat turn into such a large beast. He pulled out his sword ready for another round with the young fire wielder.

"Flame Whip Impact! He shouted realising a powerful whip of flames towards to exceed only for it to bounce off his sword leaving a small scorch mark where it hit. "Aw man not again." he said holding his head in frustration.

They all laughed and encouraged him to not give up, it reminded me of when Natsu used to get fet up with training, only instead of encouraging him Grey would just get him angry and he'd use that anger to get himself fired up again. Those were the days, they aren't all that different then today. Had this been next month I'd be downstairs with Jellal. I smiled at his name fiddling with the golden ring on my finger. My thoughts however were interrupted by probably the last wizard I expected.

"Evening Titania." A voice said from behind me. I turned and saw Bickslow standing at the edge of the rooftop next to me, I must not have noticed him walk up. "Lovely night isn't it?" he asked his bright eyes staring at the full moon.

"Indeed, why aren't you inside with the others?" I asked. Usually the Thunder Legion were inseparable, especially during party's. "Getting to loud in there for you?" he just laughed.

"No, I can handle the noise. Just had something on my mind that's all. With Ever and Elfman being a thing and Laxus becoming master shortly the Thunder Legion is pretty much over." he said sadly. "Freed's heading out for a while on a personal mission so I'm pretty much stuck on my own for awhile." he said lying down the tile when his eye caught my ring. "So he finally grew a pair eh?" he said with a grin sticking his tongue out revealing his guild stamp.

"Yes, we were going to tell everyone when he got back. Please keep it on the down low I don't want to have to deal with Mirajane and the others constant questions and part planning." I asked, nothing against the girls, but they got way to excited about these things and I still needed time to mentally prepare for that. A quick look of surprise from Wendy reminded me of the natural hearing of the dragon slayers, with a wink and a crossed fingers from her I knew she heard me, but planned to stay quiet.

"I guess my lips aren't the only ones sealed then." Bickslow said noticing the young dragon slayers reaction. Bickslow's magic allowed him to notice many different things without actually looking he can see the souls of every living thing around him and uses lost souls in his dolls as weapons. What people don't see is what he does with those lost souls, most of the time he helps them move on, or at least tries to his babies so to speak actually agreed to stay with him. "So what are you doing up here all alone?" he asked

Ah, yes the question that's been on my mind all night, why of all nights did I need time to myself now. I could be having fun downstairs with everyone else, I could even be helping the young ones train. However, I found myself in my bright sequin dress sitting on a roof looking at the stars. Was I just up here to think or perhaps just to relax, honestly I just felt like I needed to get away for awhile, that's a fair enough answer I suppose. Perhaps I was just bored, or sad at the fact that I too was fairly alone right now. Natsu and Lucy were getting along nicely. Grey and Juvia's relationship had begun to grow so where did that leave me for the next while. I let out a sad laugh at the thought.

"I guess you could say you aren't the only one feeling lonely tonight." I answered him. Bickslow was always a strange man, but under his goofy helmet of his he was a very serious and very caring wizard. No doubt he sensed that I was feeling alone and joined me up here. "Thank you Bix." I said.

"Don't worry about it Erza." he said when suddenly his gaze shifted down to the street. A look of worry took over and he was off the roof in a matter of seconds. Needless to say I took off after him. "Erza grab Wendy we're going to need her!" he shouted back as we took off down the street.

"Don't worry I think she heard you." I said changing into my armor, battle ready. Wendy was already caught up to us by the time we came to the cause of Bickslow's panic a young girl around the same age as Wendy, beaten and bleeding. "Wendy!"

"She's beaten pretty bad I can't heal her fully." the young wizard said her hands glowing a soft green as some of the minor injuries began to heal. "We need to get her back to the guild hall." she finished as Bix tossed the girl onto his back and we dashed back into the hall.

When the doors slammed open and we came running in everything went silent. Those who weren't drunk cleared a path as we dashed to the medical bay, we laid the girl onto a bed and Wendy began healing once more. Thankfully Porlyusica was present and was immediately at work. She asked to clear the room leaving only myself, Wendy Bickslow and her with he injured girl.

"Her soul is pretty weak, she's going to die if we don't do something quick." Bix said worriedly. We helped however we could but, judging by his look I could tell we were running out of time.

"I'm trying all I can do, we just need her to hold on a little bit longer." the pink haired woman said as she stitched up the large open wound on the young girls chest. "She isn't breathing we aren't going to make it." she said worried.

"Oh yes we will, Soul Synchronization!" the man called out as a stream of bright yellow light shot from his hands and into the girl. He let out a loud painful cry as he fell to the ground. The girl let out a gasp before falling silent once again, her breathing steadying. "See told ya so." Bix added weakly a sly grin appearing right before he passes out.

"Bickslow!" Wendy shouted moving to his side. She begun to heal him as she was of no further use to the white haired girl on the bed. Once they were both stable things calmed down and Bix came to. "That was reckless and you know it." Wendy scolded him.

"What did you do?" I asked confused. He shrugged and layed back down on the bed with a loud sigh. "How did you know she was hurt?" I asked again shooting him a curious glare.

"Now who's throwing around the questions." he teased. "I barely noticed her when I looked into town, she was about to die out there. Once we got her on the bed I just shared a little energy with her that's all." he said getting a slap from Porlyusica.

"Soul Synchronization evens out the energy between two souls it's dangerous to do so on someone on death's door. You of all people should know the hazard of doing that. Stupid Human." she said threateningly

"Hey, I just did what I thought was right, she's alive that's all that matters." he grinned the two healers only sighed, I thought it was fairly courageous of him. I'll let him know later, if I were to say it now it would look like I was taking sides.

It was only now that I got a good look at the white haired girl. She was wearing a black and red outfit, due to the amount of damage to it we had to change her out off it to heal her properly. She was wearing a pair of combat boots as well as a red ribbon in her hair tying it in a ponytail. Now that her hair was down it reached down to the bottom of her back. She was still currently wearing a necklace with a strange vial filled with red liquide hanging around her neck. She had a large cut along her chest and a smaller one on her left eye, they said that her chest will heal but, her eye might leave a scar. What was strange were her teeth, they were sharp and pointed much like Natsu and Gajeel's We had been cleaning for an hour before all the blood and equipment was cleaned up. Needless to say the party was pretty much over. Mirajane had checked on us before closing up.

"Strange." Wendy said sniffing the air. "Even though we cleaned the room I can still smell blood." she said with a yawn. She then eyed the girl's necklace and her eyes bulged out. "Why does she have a vial of blood around her neck?" she said frightened.
