~~~~~~~~~~~Author's Note~~~~~~~~~~

This is my first story on here so please be nice. If you don't like it don't read it, simple as that. Im also putting up the first few chapters at once because I want to know what you *the readers* think. P.s. most of it is already written just not typed yet. As always Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima. Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Year X798

The light came through the cracked curtain, shining right into Lucy's eyes, waking her. Groaning, she rolled over and reached out, seeking some type of warmth. Finding none she cracked open her eyes and saw the empty bed beside her. Brushing her hair out of her eyes and looking around she saw the evidence of what happened last night through out the hotel room. She saw all of her clothes either on the floor or furniture, but none of his.

Oh well, wouldn't be the first time Hibiki left before I woke up. She thought as she got up to gather her clothes. After she finished gathering the m she glanced around making sure she didn't miss anything, and sighed when she spotted the empty condom wrapper by the end table. Grabbing clean clothes, bath products, and the wrapper she made her way to the bathroom, throwing the wrapper into the trash on the way, where it landed next to the condom.

Well at least I don't have to worry about cleaning up after him. She walked into the shower and turned on the water, moaning in relief as she felt the hot water run down her back. As she started to wash she started thinking about all that has happened since Fairy Tail's first win at the GMG.

Seven years is a long time. She smiled. A lot has happened since the Games, and the Guild is stronger because of it. A new member every few weeks and better jobs since Fairy Tail's win. Guild members have even started getting discounts at the magic shops again.

Then came the weddings, the first being a shock to most. Elfman and Evergreen's wedding took place about six months after the GMG, soon to follow were Freed and Mirajane's. The one that made everyone faint was Gray and Juvia's ... it took Master Makarov two days to wake up. Throughout the years more weddings took place. Erza and Jellal got married after he got his name cleared by the Magic Council. He played a role in sealing Zeref away again, hopefully for good this time.

She smiled as she remembered Erza announcing it to the Guild. The party went on for three days, only ending because Erza wanted to go on a job.

After Erza's wedding came Gajeel and Levy's wedding, Levy being four months pregnant at the time. They had been engaged for a year before finally having their wedding. Then came the wedding everyone wondered if it would ever happen. Natsu and Lisanna probably wouldn't have gotten married if Lisanna hadn't asked him in front of the entire Guild, and most of Fiore, at the fifth GMG after Fairy Tail's win. They had gotten married a few months later.

Lucy sighed and turned off the water and wrapped herself in a towel, grabbing another to dry her hair. It's a shame I'm out of magic... I could really use Cancer right now. Once she had gotten most of the water out she let if fall in damp curls past her waist. She studied her reflection in the mirror, wondering what it was theat turned men away from her. Sure, they like me but why won't any of them stay with me. She turned away from the mirror, trying not to think about men in general again.

Her thoughts kept drifting as she got dressed and packed up her things to leave. She was one of the few Guild Members from Tenrou Island who has yet to settle down. Only herself, Cana, Bickslow, Wendy, and Laxus were left.

She sighed as she realized her magic wasn't back yet. I guess it's going to take a while for it to come back. Damn Dark Guild.

She had spent a week tracking and capturing a Dark Guild. After she found their hideout some had managed to flee and she spent two days searching for them. Throughout the years she had gathered more keys, none of them good at tracking though. Once she had caught the last of them she returned to Crocus to collect her reward and relax.

As she was relaxing in one of the taverns she had ran into Hibiki who had also just finished a job. After many drinks each they had ended up in her hotel room, had sex, and once again he left before Lucy had waken.

She sighed as she left the hotel room and made her way through town to the train station. Once she was there she bought her ticket and then walked over to one of the food stands and bought some rolls for breakfast. She was just sitting down when her train pulled in, and she joined the rush of people boarding the train. She was looking for an empty compartment when she spotted a familiar spiky blond head trying to sleep against the window.

As quietly as she could she slid the door open and sat on the bench across from him, her right side against the window. As she placed her bag next to her he cracked open his eyes and glared at her.
