1. Chapter 1

The Strength in Music

The guild ignores Lucy, including her best friend Natsu. Instead of wasting her efforts of family she walks a different path and things turn out unexpectedly….

When Lisanna came back, the guild was overjoyed. They spent most of the time watching over her, making sure she was really there and to make sure she stays there. Team Natsu had made it there privilege to also be beside her to protect her, as they were supposed to do originally. Lisanna had taken the image of Lucy. It was as if everyone saw Lisanna in the place Lucy stood before and Lucy, now taking Lisanna's place, DEAD or nonexistent. Lucy tried to get their attention but it ended as if she was invisible. They were blinded by the fact Lisanna was back.

-General POV-

After Lisanna came back, the feeling of family and all that warmth faded. Lucy didn't have anything against Lisanna, she is a sweet girl. But Lucy just thought Fairy Tail was better than this. The only people she's been able to speak to is Gajeel, Wendy, and even Juvia. They don't know Lisanna as well as the others, being the "new" ones. But even them, Gajeel was either with Levy, who was trying to catch up with Lisanna just like the rest, or was on a mission. Wendy was going out with Romeo and training herself with missions. Juvia was still stalking which made her hard to approach. But still, those were the only people who talk to her still from time to time.

After a month since the edolas incident, she turned to writing, training, and singing. She wrote songs and was able to play lots of instruments from her aristocrat training. She even brought back her company in hopes to help the guild with money ever since her father died (dies during edolas incident, flashback later on). It gave her a purpose to live. The company was a successful enterprise; she used past connections and business training, which led to her rising to be the most powerful company in 2 weeks. The company also sold Fairy Tail franchise and products of Fairy Tail with Evergreen as executive. She was in charge of the things that sold well in the Fairy Tail merchandise.

Lucy lived in her old mansion and even improved. Her strategical mind led her to finishing her work early by months, a workaholic but always had a lot of free time. She made strategic plans for the future of the company and now hardly does any work. She turned to music and training to forget those hateful feelings and to keep her busy.

2 MONTHS SINCE EDOLAS INCIDENT –LUCY POV-

They've been ignoring me, but I won't be weak. Just like the time with my father, I left because of this feeling and I'm feeling it all over again. What's the use of leaving that mansion, if I wanted to feel like this; I would have stayed with my Father and be married off. I thought Fairy Tail would be better than this, they were nakama they felt what their nakama did. In the end I was just a replacement, I don't get to feel that way with everyone apparently.

I turned my feelings into songs may it be of happy memories, sadness, or longing. I trained vigorously, I trained my magically ability to the point where I can open all my gates and still have a lot of power. My second origin was opened thanks to Capricorn (got him on a mission, she ran into the man controlling Capricorn and beat him). I searched every book on celestial powers and learned everything there was and even learned combat from Loke. I trained every day, never missed a day and don't intend to. Every one of my spirits helps me in their field ability, like Taurus with strength etc. Surprisingly, Aquarius stopped being mean when she learned how I was treated. She was still teasing and rough though.

I've changed physically; my hair was past my waist, glowed more golden because of my power and in a French braid. I've gotten slimmer, apparently to Loke; my body was toned not too much, just right. I currently was wearing a long sleeved off the shoulder black top that stopped just under my breast, white denim shorts with suspenders hanging down, and knee high converse one side was black the other was white. I wore a choker locket that had a picture of my parents and played a lullaby my mother use to sing when she was younger. I also wore one golden clipped earring on the top of my right ear, about an inch long, bejeweled with a ruby in the middle. They were both things from my mother who sent it so it would be given to me when I was 18, even if I wasn't home and she wasn't alive. A letter was attached to it to saying:

Dear Lucy,

This is my gift to you when you come of the age of a woman even if I am not alive at the current time. I know your father may not be the best but he is a good man. Your father and I love you no matter what happens. I gave you that locket to help you remember that. That earring is also special, it can duplicate it's self to give to your animal companions. Your father had the ability to communicate to animals; I have kept it a secret from you, he tries to hide it. When you were little I have found out you had the same ability when you were casually hanging around with wolves that cuddled with you. Your father made duplicates to a couple powerful animals, since this is a world of magic you don't know what kind of animals you'll see, you'll find out sooner or later. The words I will say next will be my advices that will last a lifetime and to make up for the times I'm not there to help.1- The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday.2- Never apologize for having high standards, people who really want to be in your life will rise up to meet them. And lastly, you were given this life because you were strong enough to live it. My dear Lucy, you are the best thing that could ever happen to me and wish for your everlasting happiness in this world of mysteries.

Love, Mother

I cried so much, it was like she was speaking to me now and knew what was happening. That was what pushed me to get stronger and move on.

I went to father's and mother's grave laid down facing them "Hey mama and papa, how you guys doing. I'll rise to be the best daughter, papa. I was devastated when I heard of your death papa; I lost so much after coming back from edolas.

Flashback

We just came back from edolas and the first day after I've been ignored, I got a message when I got home to my house mailed from the company.

"What the hell, I come back and father is already bugging me" I sighed irritably. I opened the letter and started tearing up already.

Dear, Miss Luciana

We are terribly sorry to give you this unfortunate news but you're father has died. He died from disease that he had gotten since you were 14 and had been slowly deteriorating, we were told to keep it from you. He didn't want to worry. We have his will saying he has given everything to you. All of that is being taken care of by the guild Love and Lucky until you come to take it. We give you our regards.

From, Mrs. Spetto

End of Flashback

"I never went to the guild, I was afraid of what was in there and how I would feel papa. Though I took over the company, I always felt regret and guilt. I never got to see you again, never got to bring the bond together, and understand you. I know now that you were just trying for my happiness for me not to die like mother and to have someone who could support me before you died. I'm sorry." I started crying. After a few moments, I took a deep breath and wiped my tears.

"Thank you, mama and papa, for everything." I just sat there in silence until I felt someone approaching.

"Lucy you have a message from Love and Lucky, they wish to know if you're coming anytime soon." the maid said as she bowed.

"Thanks Lily, please tell them I'm on my way today, I should be strong." Lucy said as she got up.

At the Guild Fairy Tail

A figure walked through the doors. Though only a few noticed the intrusion everyone else was either occupied with Lisanna and her amazing adventures or fighting. The figure went straight to master's room.

The figure knocked and entered before waiting for a reply. He announced to an irritated Makarov "Hey Gramps, how's it going."

Makarov gasped when the figure put down his cloak. "Laxus, you're here." and he replied "Of course, you called me here. What do you need?". "I'm going to give you another chance and if you still want, do you want to join the guild again?" Laxus was shocked "Of course, I've traveled and learned a lot of things; Fairy Tail is my home and always will be."

Makarov then looked saddened and Laxus asked what was wrong. Makarov then stated to him looking sullen

"Fairy Tail has disappointed me and I wonder what I had done wrong." At Laxus' questioning gaze he continued "They hurt a very important member, they ignored her and brought her down which caused many bad memories for her."

Laxus wondered why Fairy Tail would do such things when they went on and on about nakama. "Who was the victim?" "…..Lucy… I've noticed that the entire guild has ignored her and she rarely talked with anyone in the guild. They forgot her birthday and she just recently lost her only family member, her father, even though he did the same wrong treatment. She forgave him and still loved him. She goes on solo missions and now doesn't come to the guild that often after the failed attempts to talk with her friends. She doesn't deserve this after all the things she has done for all of us. And what's more is that she is supporting the guild with her company, we don't have any problems with money and she even saved an account with monthly money so that we won't have any future problems with money. She still puts the brightest light and smile."

Laxus was astonished with this knowledge. Lucy was the light that forgave everyone, the kind soul that helped everyone no matter who and was loved. She was the only one who looked at him without fear after the Fantasia incident and smiled at him.

When he asked why she smiled and forgave him, she replied "There are many reasons; your nakama, you're my friend, and you're not a bad person if you yourself accept us as family." She spoke as though she knew right past his façade.

Laxus then smelled her scent entering the guild "Speak of the devil, Gramps she's here."

Normal POV –with Lucy

As normal when she walked into the guild nobody noticed her. She went straight to Master's room and knocked. She heard a little "come in". When she opened the door she wasn't expecting Laxus to be there to.

"Master, I have family business to attend to in Acalypha, so I was wondering if I could take a mission in that area."

"Sure child, anything for you. I recommend this for you."

There is a Dark Guild that also houses a variety of monsters that do their bidding. They have been robbing, kidnapping children and women, and killing any who got in their way for months. The mayor will personally award you. Please Help!

Reward: 1,000,000 Jewels, and free access to the magic shop

Lucy looked over it and smiled "Of course, I'll be back soon Master." Master Makarov stamped the mission, Lucy bid farewell to Laxus and Master then left.

Makarov then spoke to Laxus, "Laxus go after her and watch her." "Why? She is perfectly capable on her own." "I know but I want you to witness it and report back to me everything that happens. I plan on making her a candidate for the S-class trails. Make sure she doesn't see you."

Laxus nodded and went after her, his stuff already with him.

Lucy's mansion (Lucy's POV)

I walked into my enormous room and grabbed the remote to my speakers and played Immortals by Fall Out Boy and opened my large windows.

If I was going to pack, I was going to have fun doing it. I danced around get the stuff I need, laughing sometimes. I enjoyed moments like these. I grabbed a cookie and stuffed it in my mouth while rocking out.

Meanwhile (Laxus POV)

When Blondie was running along the edge of the river without losing balance, I was impressed. Then I noticed that she didn't head to Strawberry Street to where her apartment was. I know because her team would go and barge in unannounced and everyone knew.

It was a short walk or in Blondie's case, run. She headed towards this huge land with little house on the vast land, I could see a mountain. Then there it was an enormous mansion. I asked a man before entering the little village and mansion.

"What's that little village before the mansion?" The man sweat dropped at Laxus and replied,

"That isn't a village, son, it is property of that mansion. The property doesn't end until past that mountain. It is currently owned by Lucy Heartfilia, her father use to own it and the company but she inherited them both and made the company a successful enterprise."

I gawked at the man, I knew Blondie was smart, but wow. I spotted her heading into her room, so I thundered to a tree right by her window. She opened the window and Immortals was playing.

I was amused by the show she had given me. I smirked when she danced along the room. Her laughter jingled like bells. Seeing her so happy, it was contagious. But what I saw next surprised me.

Lucy POV

"Okay, I'm done. Better store them." I put my hand out, my palm facing forward and a void appeared. I stored my stuff in here and it disappeared, but I am only allowed to store 2 to 3 bags.

After devoted myself to training I mastered all types of celestial magic's and anything related to celestial bodies (space). I learned quickly because each week I would enter a void provided by moustache man (celestial spirit king). When I entered it, time wouldn't pass, each week I spent months mastering all I could search about Celestial Powers. That means anything in the sky, outer space, or heaven.

I have only been able to achieve this through moustache man, he said my mother had the ability to achieve the peak and was even titled her "Celestial Queen". So after a month I had achieved her level but moustache man thinks I can pass her.

I need the 3 golden keys, I will leave a legacy, I will be the best I can ever be just as my mother said.

I still have an hour till the train takes off. So I took my guitar and sat by the open windows and started playing a song to kill time. "Have nothing to do right now, so I might as well."

Laxus POV

I saw her open a void, a void. Blondie shouldn't be able to that; she's a celestial spirit mage. I saw her walking to the window. I made sure I was hidden and so was my presence. She was playing a little melody, saying she got nothing else to do.

What she said next surprised me "I need to let it out… It hurts… my friends all left me; all my life has felt like I never existed. My father verbally abused me in times of stress; I was neglected and never had one family experience. I don't know what the word family means anymore. I really thought Fairy Tail was but now I know they are not. I've tried so hard just to experience that warmth but to find out it was a lie? My father's words always haunted me; I've heard what my own team said. I heard them, I was right behind them and they were talking to Lisanna."

"They were talking about going on a mission and Happy was asking about me. I was so excited but then Ezra said "It's too dangerous for Lucy, she won't be able to fend for herself if her keys are gone." Gray then spoke "She's going to complain to. Lucy isn't able to do anything unless her keys are there." But what hurt most was when my best friend the one who brought me to this family said "Lisanna's already coming we don't need her. I can't protect her and fight; she's too weak to handle it."

"I tried so hard, I don't have anyone anymore; I just don't want to be alone. Why can't I belong?" A tear escaped her eye. She went through so much and she's still staying strong. You have to be emotionally and mentally strong for that. She wrote that all in her journal then threw it at her bed and sighed "I'm stronger than this, just remember mama and forget papa's mean self and Fairy Tail's treatment. I am who I am and I'm not going to change what I am, independent and strong." She started strumming a melody and sung in the most beautiful voice ever.

"Broken Ones"

Cross your heart and say you've never given up
that you carried on when every door was shut
that you live, you live with no regret!
We wear a smile to hide that we've been hurt before
Keep our disasters in a suitcase by the door,
'Cause you know, you know we're only human!

So lay your hands on the left behind
We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while.
In a crowded place trying not to feel alone,
just remember that we've all been broken once!
Let's love the broken ones, yeah, yeah!
Love the broken ones!

Raise your glass to all the words we never say
we do our best, but still we look the other way,
'Cause sometimes it's easier to run
'Cause after all, we're only human!

So lay your hands on the left behind
We all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while.
In a crowded place trying not to feel alone,
just remember that we've all been broken once!
Let's love the broken ones, yeah, yeah!
Love the broken ones!

Sometimes we're left behind,
Feel like the only one,
But we were born to try
Yeah, we're only human!

So lay your hand on the left behind
Yeah, we all know how it feels to be forgotten for a while
in a crowded place trying not to feel so alone,
Just remember that we've all been broken once!
So let's love the broken ones, whoa-oh
Love the broken ones, no no
Lets love the broken ones, whoa oh whoa oh
Love the broken ones, yeah-yeah.
Let's love the broken ones!

Her voice is amazing, she's amazing. I wonder where her strength comes from.

Lucy's POV

"Okay, now that's out of my system" I smile to myself. I will never forget to smile; mother said smiling is the best thing a person can do to do their best. I walked to the station and bought my ticket and found and empty booth. It was a 2 hour long train ride, so I rest my head down and fell asleep and darkness took over.

(Meanwhile Laxus was green and uncomfortable in the booth beside her but still looked intimidating)

Normal POV

Two children were walking down the aisle looking for their exceeds. They spotted them going into the cart that Lucy was in. The exceeds immediately went straight to her bag out of curiosity.

The two boys followed after, they spotted a blonde woman sleeping on one bench and silently looked for their exceeds. They found them throwing stuff out of a carry hand bag.

Something flew out that hit the black haired one "Ouch" in a hushed voice. The blonde one asked "You alright Rogue?" "Yeah I'm fine Sting, but what is this?" Rogue picked up the journal that hit him. The exceeds felt sorry so they put everything back and sat with Rogue. Out of curiosity, they read the journal filled with letters. When they read the last page they felt pity for her and guilty for reading something so personal.

They put it back in the bag and just sat there staring at her face. Sting spoke up "How could Natsu-nii do that. That's not nakama, I thought he was better." Rogue nodded "Should we talk to her, but were keeping it a secret that we read her journal, okay?" Sting agreed to wake her up.

He gently nudged her. And they both saw beautiful chocolate brown eyes open and her hair shifting in the light, golden, falling over her shoulders as she gets up. She rubs her eyes and looks at them in confusion "Can I help you" they gave an excuse and ask to sit there with her as there are no other spots.

She agreed immediately, and then spoke "Where are you heading and may I ask your name?" "I'm Sting and this is Rogue, we're heading to Acalypha, we're going to train." She replied truthfully "I see. I'm heading to Acalypha too. I'm doing a solo A-class mission. I hope your training goes well." She smiled dazzling smile at them.

They stared at her then spoke at the same time "You have the prettiest smile." They looked at each other in shock.

Lucy then burst out laughing, and then they all started laughing. The rest of the ride they introduced their exceeds, talked, and played; Keeping her company.

They soon arrived at Acalypha. The two boys and exceeds were sad to leave their new friend.

They hopped off the train and Lucy turned to them and said "I hope to see you soon, you guys are my friends and I hope the best for you. Thanks for accompanying me."

Rogue smiled and String grinned "You are our friend too; we will never ever forget you even if we're apart. We hope to see you too." They said in unison. Lucy laughed and bid them farewell.

With Laxus

Finally I'm out of that hell hole, I see her talking to some kids. Blondie headed towards the mayor's.

As we walked through town, there weren't a lot of people on the streets like a usually market place. People closed their windows and some stores were barren. Fear was evident in their eyes. Blondie was constantly looking at them, which meant she noticed.

Lucy's POV

I watched my surroundings; they weren't like this the last time I had been here. I found the mayor's house and rung the bell at the gate. A maid came and asked who I was.

I spoke "I'm from Fairy Tail; I'm here for the request." I lifted my hand with my mark. Her eyes grew with hope and brought me in immediately. I was met with the mayor in his room.

"I'm so glad you're here. Many mages have tried to take them down but never succeeded. The Dark guild attack randomly and have been causing fear and chaos. Pretty soon we will be pulled into destruction."

"Do y-", I was interrupted when a scream resonated throughout everywhere. I quickly ran outside. I was met with raging fires, slaughters of men trying to protect, women and children forcible taken by force, and robbings everywhere.

One of them floated in the middle and spoke "We will finish this now; we warned you if you interfered with sending mages you would perish!"

He must be the leader. I quickly went into action and called Aquarius out mentally. I immediately told her to put out the fires, and her understanding the situation, did it quickly.

I kept on running and shouted "FUSE! Saturn, celestial planet and one with the divine god, Saturnus." (Saturn as the planet, which is also named after the god of agriculture, generation, wealth, liberation, and time. I'm using the planets properties and powers of the god it's named after, I'm using Latin for its god relation)

A light flashed and I was wearing a strapless brown dress that stop mid thigh, with a metal band around the waistline and under it was another layer of see through fabric that started on the left going longer to the right. Also, I had fingerless white lace gloves and wore flat opened toe cris-crossed strapped sandals. The sign of Saturn tattooed on my left leg the size of my hand.

I summoned the smaller versions of Saturn's rings, like disks. I threw several of them in every direction in the speed the wind in Saturn runs (sonic speed), all of them hitting a bandit, cutting them before it crystallizes them from the ice particles in the ring then using Saturn's magnetic field to bring it back.

In less than a minute they were restrained except for the leader. He looked pissed, out of desperation he sent an attack of dark magic in my way before it was redirected in another direction after blocking it.

The direction it was heading towards was where two familiar children sat injured from the attacked. Those children were Rouge and Sting. In panic, I summoned a barrier and stood before them.

Since it was last minute, the barrier was not fully up and I gained cuts in the part where it had reached through.

I kneeled down from exhaustion, then touched my tattoo on my left leg and it shined brightly before giving me two large sickles. I jumped against gravity and charged at him, he was injured greatly but still up. I stilled time and defeated him once and for all before letting time flow again. (Remember Saturn is also the god of time)

I went to check on Sting and Rogue, Sting said in amazement "Whoa…THAT WAS AWESOME, YOU'RE AMAZING!" rambling and jumping from the excitement.

Rogue was shocked in awe too but said more politely "Thank you for saving us, we are in your debt."

"Nonsense, of course I would save you, you're my new best friends." I replied with a giggle at Sting's antics.

Then the townspeople regained from the shock and profusely thanked me many times, cheering, and praising me. Were they terrorized that badly?

I tapped the metal strap on my clothes and a magic circle appears under me. The metal strapped turned into a metallic liquid and I summoned:

"Celestial body of Saturn,

Regenerate the land and life,

By the power of the God Saturn,

Who inhabits the planet Saturn!"

The metallic liquid grew in size and regenerated everything, even people's physical state, to before the attack.

The Mayor then came and said "Thank you for saving us, your name will always be remembered, you've done more than just restrain those bandits but heal all of us and the city too."

I was given the money and an access pass. I jumped with joy at the thought of free shopping. But one thing I don't get, Where are their monsters?

Laxus POV

Since when did Blondie gain new powers? How is she this strong? Is there more she can do?

Many questions ran through my mind unanswered. When I saw the attack hit, I was going to save them but this wasn't my mission and Blondie was running out already.

I'm amazed of her capabilities; she was smart to put the fires out first but at the same time fighting her own as the fires were subdued.

Gramps would be proud of how far she has come, she isn't weak after all. I believe she is more mentally and emotionally strong. Her physical was kind of lacking.

But I see she has improved greatly since then. I hope to see more of this growth.

Lucy's POV

I delivered the bandits to the rune knights. I asked if I could interrogate first the leader about the monster. I have a bad feeling about them not being here.

"Where are the monsters you controlled!? What were you planning to do with them?" the man stayed silent.

"I swear…. You don't talk; I have other ways that aren't very pretty." I sighed. After a few seconds the man speaks

"They were trained to come to the town after half an hour, to destroy the remains of the city after we attacked. They come no matter what."He mumbled

I peer pressured him into saying where they were at; apparently they were at the guild in the outskirts of town.

I needed to hurry before it's too late. I teleported through portals of space and stepped out in front of the guild.

The sight I saw was amazing. These weren't monsters, these were majestic creatures…..

Laxus POV

Damn Blondie, making me search for her. She interrogated the guild master and immediately had to go and teleport her way where I couldn't find her. I don't know where the guild was.

I smelled her scent which led north from here not far from the town. I lightning teleported to where the trail led.

As soon as I arrived I hid again, but I saw the most amazing thing ever…

Lucy's POV

There in the middle of the field by the guild were different types of creatures.

There were a pack of elemental wolves, the element of their color like lighted neon crystals flaming against their fur. Their size was as large as a horse.

Then I saw two giant birds, the first one looked between an eagle and a dove. The second one was described as a griffon from the ancient tales.

Right next to them the mythical creature, Nian (Chinese mythical creature), armored and ready.

A hybrid of a hare and fox, then Cerberus of the underworld, an Alicorn, a bear and mole hybrid, and Chimera lined up in a row.

And in a little lake next the guild, was unbelievable, a Naga (sea serpent), and a Hippocampus (sea horse).

It was an army of rare mythical creatures, how did this little dark guild capture these. Then a magical stamp circle appeared on each of their bodies and they started heading towards the town.

"I have to do something, but I don't want to hurt animals when their just under the influence."

I was trying to think of a plan when I heard a voice "Help us, kill us now before we kill them." Then another "We're sorry, please forgive us." Then I heard several others saying almost the same thing.

I looked around there was nobody else… was it the creatures!? Well…mama did say I was able to communicate with animals because of papa.

I use the power to connect with their conscience and restore their control with the connection.

As they were walking I stepped before their path, I concentrated on me and the voice like a link, kind of the same as a celestial bonding.

Then add the magic built in my mind, to unlock the ability of communication with creatures and animals.

I felt a tingling vibe feeling in my head and knew I turned on my ability. I spoke "My name is Lucy and I've come to save you not kill you."

For a moment their eyes widen and flicker with relief but faded. I entered more magic into the capacity of my brain and spoke a spell implanted in my brain, as if father was telling me what to do.

I placed my palms down to the floor and yelled in a language I didn't know while closing my eyes "Link the connection between me and the children of nature's valley!"

Under my palms came a magic circle that shot glowing glyphic lines, in a language I had not seen before, to each creature.

I felt a tingling sensation in my head and like lightning, their memories, connections, thoughts, and feelings zapped in my mind. I had bonded with them heart and soul.

I had seen their experiences and found out they weren't even from this land of Fiore. This caused my curiosity to grow.

After bonding the link where I knew everything about them and them about me, like celestial spirits in a way, I used this bond and infused it with my newfound magic from my father that I have yet to fully discover.

I used this infusion to interfere with the magic and sever the link of magic and erasing the traces of it.

I spoke to them and tried to ease the panic and chaotic thoughts going through their mind. They were still jumbled up from being under the spell for awhile.

Then an image flashed through my mind, a man in his younger years speaking like a king to the animals. Later, a woman appeared dancing gracefully with animals again. Suddenly I heard a voice in my head "That is me when I was younger and the woman is your grandmother. Find your way of communication, dear daughter of mine." I realized that was my father voice but as soon as it came, it disappeared.

I whispered to wind a Thank you to my father who is still guiding me along side my mother.

"My way huh….." I looked at the still panicked animals and sighed

I opened my choker locket. Inside had a picture of my mom on the left and my dad on the right. On the frame of my father's picture was message they use to always say to me when I was little. "Family is forever, nobody gets left behind and is always loved no matter what." designed with embedded with small ruby flowers, you could turn the frame of the picture of my father counter clockwise and videos of my happy childhood would play. On my mother's frame it was also designed beautifully with very small ruby flowers. You could turn the frame clockwise like a dial and each input had a melody of music played. I went two dials down and it started played an angelic melody that the animals noticed and attentively listened at what I was going to do. I started singing:

Moon aka Dale Jida by Beige (I'll write the translated)

Even if my heart cries, I can't go

With my clumsy self.

When the scent of a lovely flower lingers,

And the birds' song is silenced,

Is this all a vanishing dream?

The moon is crying sadly,

The moon is smiling sadly,

Like your two teary eyes,

Like my withering dreams.

The wind is blowing, the wind blows together

Even when the lovely flowers wilt and become stars

My heart is still by your side.

The person who left behind pain

My foolishness bring me to tears

Like yesterday's radiant sun

And your brilliant smile,

Is it all just a dream?

That's buried in the winter's sorrows?

I let out a light, warm embracing light like little fireflies around them to help soothe them physically.

The moon is crying sadly,

The moon is smiling sadly,

Like your two teary eyes,

Like my withering dreams.

The wind is blowing, the wind blows together

Even when the lovely flowers wilt and become stars

My heart is still by your side.

The wind is blowing, the wind blows together

Even when the lovely flowers wilt and become stars

My heart is still by your side.

When I was done I saw that the tension was removed. The animals were eased physically and mentally. I beamed a smile though I was exhausted.

Laxus POV

Whoa…..Did not see that coming, Blondie is just full of surprises. I felt the impact of the song and emotionally became attracted to the warm light that pulled me in.

The way she sang the song was so angelic that it soothes me to the soul. I felt the emotion and power behind the song.

I was still a little distance away, and I felt safe even being this close to her. I saw her walk toward the animals, what was she doing now?

Lucy POV

I walked towards the creatures. I asked "Are you okay now, do you need anything, and you're all free you can choose what you want to do now. I don't want to restrain you to the human cruelty."

I turned to leave the premises and tell the mayor of the findings but was stopped short when I felt a tug of our connection and the creature's asked to wait. The leader of the pack of the wolves spoke first. "Dear friend we thank you for saving us, we have felt your presence in us and wish for you to be our master."

Lucy was stunned for a while but then beamed a dazzling smile at them saying "1. Of course I would save you, it's against my morals to leave or kill you. 2. I'm not your master but my new friends, you may call me anything you're comfortable as long as it's not master. 3. Of course, want your companionship … I'd be honored if you were to become my new friends." I did a little curtsy to show my respect, and then I had a strange feeling of gratitude and newfound respect, but not from me….. I looked up then I knew it was from them.

To make this official, I tapped my earring and it glowed to the bond I had created earlier. It duplicated to number of animals present and said in a language that I don't even know but ultimately understand it, the same as the spell I did to bond with the animals, "Children of nature's kingdom, through the eternal bond made, I offer you loyal companionship as lifelong friends. I also offer assistance, freedom, and protection when asked in exchange you do the same. Do you accept my offer?

What happened next was not what I expected they all did some kind of bow and the atmosphere just felt serene.

My hand shot out and I bit my finger, blood started pouring I dropped it into the red ruby in each of the copies. They all glowed and went to their now respective owners. Some of the copies changed to fit them better but in the same design for an example for the wolves it stayed the same and clipped to their right ear but with the giant eagle/dove and the griffon it turned into an ankle bracelet on their right leg with the same design.

I smiled; it felt great having real friends. I sat down and said "now you're going to introduce yourselves, I know the whole bonding thing has been done but I want to hear personally from you."

They all looked shocked for awhile but smiled nonetheless. We all huddled together into a close group, currently I was laying on the leader of the wolves who's introducing himself first.

"I am Cosmo, I am the alpha of the elemental wolves and my element is space. We also have smaller forms the size of rabbits. Of course as being my field, I can use magic related to space."

The base color of his fur was navy blue, with golden yellow coating beautifully on the top with stars here and there. He had a pattern of a galaxy ending along his tail. He had a surreal aura of space around him, glowing balls of light around him. His eyes are golden yellow with an eight pointed star on his forehead. He had a platinum plated armor collar with a jewel in the middle that looked like the galaxies.

Next were two wolves standing together, the first one was bright, flaming orange blend with yellow dancing along the ends like the raging sun with golden eyes. There was an 8-tipped sun mark on its forehead, with a distinct designed scorch mark on its back. It was plated with a gold armor collar around its neck.

The one beside it was blue on top fading to light hue of white/blue on the bottom with crescent marks here and there, the same mark on its forehead with white iridescent eyes. It was plated with a silver armor collar around its neck.

The orange one was the one who spoke up next. "My name is Sol and this is my sister, Luna. We are called the twin generals. My element is the sun-" Luna interjected "My element is the moon, my brother and I work better together." Sol continued "As I was saying, we control the powers of the sun and moon, my sister and I are like second in command after Cosmo.

Lucy smiled at them exclaiming "It's nice to meet new friends, I wish to respect your way of how you do things. Thank you for telling me."

The next introduced was a literally flaming red wolf, whose fur was more of flames. Flames danced around his feet and the ends of his tail. Its eyes were orange, flames licking its feet. "My name, my dear friend, is Ignis, very pleased to meet you. Member of the pack and I control fire." Ignis greets with a little playful tone in his voice.

I was overwhelmed and just sat quietly for each and one of them. The next was crystal blue wolf with water turning into little waves across its skin, and its eyes shining blue. "The name's Aqua, I control water…." Aqua who said in a bored tone then rested her head to sleep.

"My name is Fulgur, control lightning, want to play?" Fulgur said in a goofy manner. He was bright static yellow. Lightning merging with his fur, you could feel the static. His eyes golden like lightning.

"Calm done Fulgur, you can play with her as soon as she is free. My name is Silva, I control things over forestry and so forth." She spoke in a polite manner. She was like a tree herself, her forearms and back legs were woody while the rest of her body that was fur was leaves.

"You're so uptight Silva, relax. Oh my name is Aeris, I control the clouds, wind, air, and stuff like that." She said in a relaxed tone. She was a white based wolf turning into a very pale blue on the top with clouds surround and swirling as fur. His eyes a silver white color

"I feel the urge to beat the crap out of you Fulgur, I want to challenge you….. Oh crap yeah my name is Glaciem; I'm also ready to battle. I, as you can see, control the element of ice." He stated cockily. He had snow-like fur and crystallized ice stones on his tail, back, forearms, and chin. His eyes shined a pale blue.

Another just stood with a sophisticated aura "I am Tempus, my element is time. I am the coordinator of the group; I handle tactics, organizations, and event which will be addressed later. It is a pleasure to meet you. He was a shade of brown blended with a dark shaded yellow like sand with caramel colored eyes. Gears of clocks and the arrows over its body with an hourglass hanging on it tail.

Tempus continued speaking "We wish to stay with you, if you allow us, as said earlier we can change sizes."

General POV

Lucy was stunned because the others went into hiding and into their freedom, didn't they want theirs? I mean they are bonded to me but they are free to go unless they need me or I need them, companions.

I hesitantly replied "I'd gladly let you come with me, but why, don't you want freedom?

This time Cosmos spoke up "Though we'd want our freedom from time to time, we wish to stay with you. Wolves are very loyal to family, now that you entitled us as family."

Lucy beamed, she was absolutely delighted. She won't be alone anymore "Thanks for being my family, I love you guys already."

She spread her arms out in attempt to hug but she was beat to it. Fulgur, Ignis, and Glaciem ran to her before she opened her arms and pounced on her hug. She laughed when Fulgur started licking her face. The other close behind hugging her rather than pouncing her thinking it was rude.

Meanwhile… Laxus was shocked, what else was she pull on him! Gramps isn't going to believe me, but he recorded everything on Lacrima since the beginning of her mission. She is surely a candidate for the S-class trails. Well she was done with her mission now, which means it time to head back no point in staying.

Back with Lucy… She was heading back to mayor. The wolves have turned into pint sized little cutie pies (the size of Plue). Fulgur was on her head happily looking at the scenery, Ignis and Glaciem on her either of her shoulders, Sol and Luna carried in her arms. She got a back pack that could carry them but those five insisted that they wanted to be outside. Aqua, Silvia, and Aeris slept in the back pack while Cosmos and Tempus walked beside her.

She went into the mayor's office explaining what happened and that the situation was solved. He repeatedly thanked her and will send her regards to Fairy Tail for her great work.

She started heading towards the most famous shop in Fiore that was conveniently located in Acalypha. What she saw was not what she was expecting; it was medium sized shop with a homey feeling.

As soon as she entered, she was greeted by a kind old woman "Why hello there sweetie, how can I help you and your little pups today?" the old lady gave a feeling she was your kind grandma.

"Hi, I'm Lucy. I was given a free access pass to this store." Lucy stated politely in her heiress mode.

"Oh my goodness, you're the little lady that saved our town! Thank you for coming, you deserved it. I heard you were a Fairy Tail mage….. Take a look around. Our marketing is the best thanks to the Guild love and lucky, it brings merchandise more valuable than other towns. I'm sorry I must be boring you with this babbling.

Lucy quickly replied "Of course not, Thank you it's very useful to know knowledge given to you." Lucy smiled at the lady, who in turn, smiled back.

She released Luna and Sol to look around more freely. She was amazed by what she saw, there were things she thought didn't exist and things she'd never seen before.

While looking around Lucy asked "What exactly does a free access pass entitle me to?"

The lady smiled at her awe saying "The free access pass entitles you to 10 things of your choice for free, special discount for the rest of the year, and a special gift from me." Lucy turned around after she said special gift where she caught the old lady winking, she smiled fondly.

The lady continued "You don't have to get all of your free things now. I also wanted to give you a gift because you saved my grandson who was captured, just as thanks."

Lucy felt like it was too much and tried to refuse but after the lady's insisting she gave in.

The first thing she asked for was if she had any celestial spirit keys. The lady nodded and pulled out a beautiful antique sliver box with intricate designs.

Lucy POV

It was an amazingly beautiful box. I touched the box and opened it, my eyes widened. Inside the box were: Pisces and Libra (two gold keys), the legendary key Ophiuchus, and a tattered letter at the bottom.

"So you're Heartfilia, Bero told me you would come here. You didn't tell me your last name so I couldn't tell but as soon as you asked I knew you were the one, are you not? There aren't much celestial wizards these days."

"I am Ms. Heartfilia. How did Bero, my celestial trainer, know I would come here? And I don't recall him having any keys."

"Bero came in by the time he knew you had magic. He gave me this box to look after since this town use to be where your father and mother worked. I never opened it since then but he said it had to do with his magic. My name is Eleanor, fate has led us together."

I looked down at the box again. I brushed my hands lightly against the keys before taking them into my hands and strapped them to my key ring they shined brightly before they dulled.

I then took the note and opened the old fashioned crinkled paper.

Dear sweet Luciana

(Lucy wondered why he was calling her another name, did he know something I don't)

I knew that by the time you get this you'll be a lot older. These keys were mine but I've gotten old now and I've retired from a guild ages ago. So, my sweet Lucy, I'm giving them to you. I know how much you love new friends and the most important keys are on the top wait to you see the bottom. Let's just say this is for every birthday I've missed and future ones.

The bottom? I looked closer and see you could remove the bottom and took of the velvet plate.

I was shocked, a whole ring of silver keys that I couldn't even count unless I counted it one by one.

How did he get this many? Wait, there aren't many celestial wizards left so I guess but Bero died a little after my mom died.

I individually counted all the keys, my eyes widened. I then added the number of gold keys.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT, I HAVE ALL THE CELESTIAL KEYS!" then I realized I cussed and politely excused my behavior at the barely fazed woman who just laugh and waved it off.

"How many is that honey?"

"All 88 celestial keys that have ever existed, this is too good to be true. Are you sure this isn't a prank." I desperately asked

"Honey I'm sure it's not a prank, this is a set so this counts as one free item, go ahead and continue looking around. We got new shipping today.

Something caught my eye, or rather two. It was in the very back and it looked like it was collecting dust.

When Eleanor noticed my sudden interest she guided me to the back.

What I saw was two dusty glass cases, like they were never used.

Eleanor saw what I was looking at and exclaimed "Why would you want that, it's just a design stick and a fan?! It was found by a group of people traveling, saying it was from another country but it doesn't do anything." she looked at me like I was crazy

I don't know but I feel drawn to it, like I seen it before. "Can I take these two please?"

"Of course, though I don't understand why." I took them both and then called Virgo to hang on to it for a while.

I first approached the fan and asked "Why does it look like they haven't been cleaned?"

"I don't know, the archeologist thought they should have identified it first but when they discovered they weren't special, though they came from another land, they dropped the project. I really didn't think it was anything special, that's why put in the back."

"Fulgur grab my handkerchief please."

He jumped into my pack faintly hearing Aqua shout at him, saying she was extremely tired and cranky.

Fulgur came out with my handkerchief and started wiping the fan but as my fingers brushed against the fan it glowed so bright that it blinded Eleanor and me for a second.

The blinding light died down to a light ethereal glow surround the fan. The fan was amazingly beautiful, it was a hand fan, and something I am familiar with for it was a part of etiquette.

The sticks and handle were made of a refined transparent crystal not native here, intricate gold swirls surrounding the crystal as a vision of vines. There were patterns of glistening flowers imbedded along the vines. The mounts (paper of the fan) were painted like the night sky with plotted stars looking like they were dancing across the night, the left side had a blazing sun with a golden dragon swirling out from one of it flames while on the right side was a moon shimmering white with a dragon swirling from the aura of the moon the same color as the moon. The dragons met and entwined in the middle creating a breathtaking design. I turned the fan to look at the back of the paper and saw the swirling pattern of the galaxy. I awed at its beauty.

"This is amazing craftsmanship, I never seen one as unique as this one…." that's quite a feat because I've seen many fans in my days.

I brushed my hand along the paper only to prick my hand and a drop of blood fell onto the base of the fan. What shocked me was that my blood moved on its own carving its name on the base and I was hit with a wave of flashbacks.

After shaking my head from the daze I was in I looked back down at the fan seeing my name engraved in red. 'Whoa, did that just happen….'

I suddenly knew everything about the fan, its history, its creator, everyone who's ever owned it, even its secrets, everything was shown to me.

This is no ordinary fan, the mount was not only beautiful but deadly it was made of another material at slick and strong as platinum while looking like silk layer. It was a blade itself and if you knew where maneuver the sticks of the fan turned into daggers. If you added enough force, the daggers would shoot out like darts and retract into the fan. If you made it like a boomerang, it would easily slash anything in its path before returning to your hands. There was so much you could do. It was amazingly very light.

I wanted to try something out, I pressed my hand across my engraved name and a duplicated fan came in a flash. Glaciem yelped at the surprised while I laughed. In response, he growled at me but he lay back on my shoulder.

I pressed it again and the duplicate disappeared. I felt excited at the thought of having a new weapon but I felt that the staff was going to be even better.

I put my handkerchief away seeing as it cleans itself. I touched and it did the same thing as the fan. Once the light died down, I let my blood drip from the cut made earlier before wiping the small cut. Like the fan, my name was engraved into the staff.

The staff itself was amazing; it was platinum with silver vines wrapped around the staff top to bottom. There was small round crystal embedded on the top and bottom. It was outlined with very thin lines of gold.

As I looked through the info gained from this weapon, it was very convenient. From what I saw this could change into any weapon, in the same design, as long as you could imagine shaping what it would look like. Another convenient addition was that it could retract into a small handle and look like a silver baton you pass around in an anchor race.

She looked back at Eleanor who just was watching silently in awe "Hurry and try it out honey!"

I giggled at her and imagined a scythe and swirled it around expertly somehow and it glowed lightly before turning into a scythe, whoa.

I then retracted it and set it with the fan, I feel very familiar with these weapons they have a similar feeling to my connection with animals.

So, seven free items left…..Hmmmmm….. Two more items and save the last 5 for later.

I randomly picked a beautiful mirror and a gold arm band. Eleanor then explained what those two did.

"This mirror, other than look at yourself, you can see a glimpse of a possible future. You can see the map of the surrounding area. It can track and identify people, animals, or thing as long as you have something connected or similar to whatever you are trying to do. It can be very useful, think of it as a navigator/ guide. The arm band does not go on your wrist or forearm but your upper arm. It can store up to 500 items; it can store objects, clothes, and even spells."

The mirror was a unique and designed beautifully. The arm band was gold (like what Egyptians wore) and a red gem in the middle, where you can faintly see a little vortex.

I was satisfied for now and thanked her before leaving. I stored the mirror in the arm band and placed it on my arm, first item achieved.

We got in are previous positions and headed towards to a hotel for now….. it was evening and I need to rest.

I looked for a hotel that allowed animals. Found one, we walked in and I headed straight for the large hot tub. I giggled when all the mini wolves jumped in the hot bubble bath with me.

"So guys…..what do you wanna talk about."

Fulgur jumped from the bubbles, startling me he exclaimed "What are we going to do tomorrow? Huh! Huh!

"Well… I'm going to visit my papa's old guild; he left everything to me before he died. I think he and my mom were hiding something and I may find out soon."

Aqua then nuzzles my neck, resting on my shoulder. "Can you sing us a song" she added sleepily.

"Hm… sure, but as soon as you guys are out of bed." I thought of a song as I relaxed back into the hot tub.

I just hummed the beginning of the song (Nightingale by Demi Lovato)

I dried myself and changed into a strapless nightgown and tucked them all in my bed.

I grabbed my shawl and sat by the window. The stars also calmed me before sleep.

On the street below… General POV

A man, around Lucy's age, was walking down the street with his hands in his pockets. He had spiked back platinum hair with green eyes; his handsome angled face with a built body. He wore a plain white long-sleeve with a pair of black jeans and high-tops. He was a little shorter than Laxus.

He was heading home, it was late, but stopped when he heard a beautiful voice humming a tune. He looked for the source then spotted the most angelic girl sitting by the window. Something about her just allured him, he felt weird.

He stood near but unnoticed, he listen to the first lyrics that came out of her mouth.

I can't sleep tonight

Wide awake and so confused

Everything's in line

But I am bruised

I need a voice to echo

I need a light to take me home

I kinda need a hero

Is it you?

Silently he thought to himself, "Maybe"

He felt suddenly attracted to her, "What is this feeling"

He listened to her sing and watched her beautiful face. As she sang the last lyrics, he was captivated. She sang such a sad song and he wanted to know more.

'I need to go, I already sound like a stalker'…. 'She looks like an angel but with a hidden side.'

He went back to the path of his current stay.

Back with Lucy

The wolves have changed into their original sizes all gathered around the bed. I got into bed but somehow my head was resting on Cosmos while the others cuddled on or around me.

I smiled, I felt loved. My eyes started drooping til everything went black.

The next morning…

I woke up and managed to get out of bed. I went to take a quick shower and dressed myself in a white of the shoulder long sleeved shirt that reached mid thigh. I wore jean shorts under just in case with knee length boots.

I put my hair in high ponytail and stored my keys and weapons in the arm band, I figured out the arm band can turn into a hair accessory in the same design. I grabbed the backpack and the wolves went into the same positions yesterday when we were walking.

I checked out and hopped on Cosmo and headed towards Love and Lucky.

When I arrived at Love and Lucky people were crowding the guild 'What's going on.'

One of the rune knights turned around momentarily shocked that I was riding a giant wolf.

I spoke up to the knight "What's happening?"

"Oh you're a guild mage, well….. A dark guild has taken over this guild"

"Why aren't you doing anything?!"

"They have hostages, we can't do anything rash." Trying to calm me down, it's all more the reason to act now.

"I'll handle this" the rune knight immediately replied "Wait we have this un-"

I ignored him and asked Cosmo and the wolves to stay outside in full form to protect the people outside, trap the guild from escaping and to help the hostages later.

I went to the side window and stayed low to survey my surroundings…this scene reminds me of that action book I read last week…..

'Focus!' I saw the guild members tied together in a large group and a man tied apart from them. 'Must be important for him to be alone from the rest of the group and on close watch.'

The dark mages were a total of 25 mages, their organization and current structure tell of them being weak mages.

I'll put a barrier around the hostages first and since their sense my presence then, that's when I take them out.

I wasn't able to contract my spirits yet so I do it on my own for now. I whispered "Stellarum autem praesidium." An invisible barrier shielded them from any entry and they are now secured.

I slipped behind the guards in front of the lone man tied and knocked them out. "Well hello, no welcome? I thought I was noticed already?" the men scrambled around then started blasting random attacks. I heard the man behind me yell "Be careful…" I didn't hear what he had to say while I dodged every one of the attacks skillfully.

I front flipped and kneed the guy in front of me in the stomach. They started closing in on me so I went into Jupiter's form (planet Jupiter associated with the Roman god Jupiter) as quickly as I could.

I kneeled down and splayed my hands faced down. Sending high voltage shocks, I knocked them out and tied them by electrical currents just to make sure.

I noticed a magical presence behind me and quickly gathered a lightning bolt and hurled it at the presence.

The presence was the guild master who seemed unaffected from my first attacked but caught off guard from my second one.

I touched my Jupiter sign on the center of my chest and a spear of lightning appeared in one hand while a lightning bolt shield on the other.

He seemed a little nervous from his subordinates being down and tried to hide it but I could see fear in his eyes.

He then smirked "You take one more step and I kill the hostages, let me leave with the loot and I won't kill them."

Seriously was he that weak or really stupid, I think it's the latter. I just smiled at him, he looked shocked but then said "I'll really do it…"

I just hurled my lightning spear at him and when he saw that he attempted a dark spell on the hostages only for it to bounce back on him with a bit of electricity.

I tied him with the rest then walked over the hostages, still wondering why the guy wasn't tied with the rest.

I walked to him first and asked for his name. He just stared until he shook his head with a faint blush on his cheek and replied "Umm, its Evan August, thank you Mrs.

"Oh Edolas no, I'm not married, and my name is Lucy Heartfilia but it's just Lucy." I smiled

The guy look relieved and excited for some reason….very happy.

Evan's POV

I'm a free lance mage who was asked to help deliver, and it paid well so I came to do the job. I checked into a hotel and went to look around because my work didn't start until tomorrow.

That's when I saw Lucy on the windowsill, picture perfect, I fell in love with her voice, it had enchanted me and it's always in my mind. Her face perfectly matched her voice but I'm way out of league, she wouldn't want some guy like me. Thinking I would never see her again, I went on helping the guild merchant guild love and lucky with their especially large cargo shipments.

They just needed help for loading since it was especially large, what I didn't know was that there were bandits. I didn't think bandits would come on this job since it didn't say anything about bandits or help protect the cargo. I was caught by surprise and tied up first, since I was the only mage available, the rest is history.

When I was trying to get out of the ropes, it canceled my magic. Later, I felt a presence of magic around me and my eyes widened when I saw her.

I felt like she was crazy coming here by herself. What shocked me even more was she swiftly took a couple guys out with only combat skills. I yelled at her to get away before she could hurt from the men that surrounded her but boy was I wrong. She transformed with some magic I didn't know and it looked like lost magic.

She kicked their asses but when the man threatened the hostages and me she smiled….smiled! I thought she was nuts until the magic bounced back.

I shouldn't be in love already, am I going to fast? But I can't help this feeling, I'm mesmerized by her.

While I was thinking these thoughts she asked my name. Gosh she's gorgeous, oh my name right.

As soon as I give her name I immediately assume she's married, I mean how can she not? I kind of feel like I seen her before though, well other than last night.

She's not married…..SHE'S NOT MARRIED YEASSSSSS!

Her name is Lucy, it fits her perfectly. It means light from an old language, wait, Heartfilia! That's the wealthiest and biggest enterprise there is!

Well her family really doesn't matter to me but that's surprising…

Lucy's POV

"Evan, can you please help me escort the hostages outside so the rune knight can assort the rest?"

I have to admit he is really hot. His platinum hair and green eyes really match his angle, built body. Though his body was not as built as Laxus and Elfman but it's more built than Natsu's and Gray's.

Evan nodded at me giving me a heart melting smile and helped me bring the hostages to the ruin knights where they will get taken care of while taking the criminals into custody.

The head of the rune knight's squadron thanked me profusely and was very impressed that I had taken them all down by myself. A letter will be sent to Master Makarov of my good work and my reward too.

Evan was staring at the giant wolves and so were some of rune knights, who were afraid. I whistled and the wolves assemble around me but Fulgur tackled me while licking my face.

It tickled me to no end I was laughing so hard. "Fulgur haha, ple…haha….ase…..haha…stop…"

Fulgur got off of me grinning "Good job, Luce" that sent a pang to my heart, but I ignored it. I smiled at the idiot and hugged him before letting them go into their tiny sizes.

On the sidelines, Evan had a gentle smile 'She really loves them, her smile is amazing.'

I walked up to Evan and asked "What are you gonna do know, do you want me to talk to your guild for you?"

Evan replied "It's okay, I don't have a guild. This was a free lance job, helping with cargo."

"I see…. Hey Evan, do you want to join a guild."

"Of course, but I'm not sure which one will accept me"

"I do, You should consider Fairy Tail," I doubted myself for a sec when I remembered the treatment I got, "I'll recommend you to master, may it be your starting point as a full- fledged mage."

Evan was astonished…. 'She's a part of Fairy Tail!' Fairy Tail is notorious for being the number one guild. I've heard of them so many times…Wait…..She's THE LUCY, she's on team Natsu.

"Of course, I'd love to go!"

"I see, well then, I'm leaving tomorrow the first train tomorrow. Are you going with me?"

"Yes, thank you very much. If I you don't mind me asking what are you going to do now"

"Oh, I just have some business with Love and Lucky…." It seems everything is back to normal now that everything is settled.

Evan and I walked back inside; Evan went back helping them while I started looking for someone who can help me.

I over to one of the window counter to ask for assistance with my letter. The woman looked up and was a little shocked but asked me to wait a moment.

She went to the back and another woman appeared in front of her, a very old one in fact.

The woman stepped out and guided me to one of the tables. The woman introduced herself as the guild master

"Hi honey, my name is Amane Kagura. I knew your parents when they were in this in this guild. I am sad about the news of your father but he entrusted me all of his stuff to give to you. In his will, he gave you everything and I mean everything he had ever….. That's what surprised me. All of your stuff is either written on paper, in his safe keep, or stored here in one of the warehouses. We were running out of space, now we can turn over all of his stuff to you."

I….that's…..HE GAVE ME EVERYTHING…WHY?! I know I'm his daughter but that's everything…that's a lot considering my dad, who also held onto mother's stuff.

I happy but it's a lot to take in and…..and I felt happy….to the point of tears, it meant he cared again…

I cracked a response, "Thank you very much and sorry for being a burden all this time."

She smiled "Don't worry, it's my job but this is special since they use to be members." She winked before leaving me an envelope.

"Your father said it would explain a lot so I guess you should read when you come home. It should be very important."

I was left alone to my thoughts; I looked at the seemingly thick envelope. The envelope was stamped with was with the family insignia.

I heard a little bark and jumped; I looked at the left and saw all of the tiny wolves trying to comfort me even Aqua and Tempus. I smiled; I almost forgot they were with me…..

I'm so lucky to have them by my side. I bought them into one big hug. I went over to Evan and told him when and where to go tomorrow and then headed to our room.

I walked in took a shower and dressed in an oversized shirt, what….I felt lazy. I plopped onto the bed while all the wolves cuddled around me.

Evan's POV

I'm gonna be a Fairy Tail mage….They are famous and the best guild ever! Lucy just keeps surprising me.

I wanna know what it's like to be a fairy. They have many adventures and are very famous. Lucy is just one of those beautiful women who have a strong body and mind.

She's really pretty and being in the same guild as her would give me the chance to get to know her better.

I overheard her conversation between her and the guild master. Lucy was given a will from her father! Her parents went here? This raised many questions.

I felt bad now but I won't give her pity because people don't like it when you look upon them that way. Instead I'd be proud of her the way she is now is due to her parents and to me she turned out to be an amazing girl as far as I can see.

I better sleep at the inn now it's getting late. I did my routine and then fell onto the bed….

NEXT MORNING….

I'm up and early to meet Lucy, I don't want to keep her waiting and leave a bad impression.

I got ready and wore a dark blue button up shirt and white jeans. I folded my sleeves just above my elbow. I wore plain black Jordan high-tops.

As I reached the station I arrived 10 minutes early and bought my tickets already. Lucy came as soon as I was done. She looked surprised but happy that I came early.

"Morning Evan, Let's get going and don't be alarmed by the wolves they are my friends."

I wondered about the wolves but since Lucy says so then I will trust her and her wolves. As soon as I entered the train we looked for an open compartment. When we found one I occupied one side while Lucy and her pups occupied the other.

"So Evan, why didn't you choose a guild before? What's your magic? Where you from? Do you think Fairy Tail is right for you honestly?

I just chuckled at her curiosity and answered them all "I didn't choose a guild before because I didn't I would be accepted that easy and I wanted to find one that suited me. I have Titan slaying magic. I'm from Oak Town. I really think Fairy Tail is suited for me because 1. The Master has Titan magic similar to mine. 2. Fairy Tail believe in Family and have tight, friendly bonds," For a moment her expression changed but immediately turned back to excited and happy, "3. Well you recommended it and I trust you so….." I smiled bashfully

When I looked at her, she had a light blush on her face. She smiled brightly "Thanks it means a lot to know that I have your trust, though I question why I already have your trust."

I answered earnestly "Well you kinda saved my life and your fun to hang out with, I don't know how to explain it, but you emit an aura that tells me that I can trust you."

Lucy's eyes widened in shock before smiling the most beautiful smile I've ever seen and then she giggled saying "I can't wait until your apart of this family!"

I felt warmth coming from her, it soothes me to be around her and yet I feel a need to be by her side always.

The rest of the train ride we talked more about ourselves and I even met her wolves personally!

As soon as we arrived in Magnolia, Lucy started heading towards the guild but she starting walking on the ledge and I was getting worried she would fall. Though, it looked like she did this everyday because her footsteps never faltered.

Some boatmen came to greet and warn her like it was their routine….

Meanwhile with Laxus since he left her, two days before Lucy comes back….

I zapped back to Magnolia after Lucy finished her mission. I went home first to sleep and eat, I would go to the guild tomorrow, maybe then Lucy would be back by then too.

The next day

I was walking into the guild and again people were either fighting or occupied with Lisanna. It's pathetic how all the old members have become so infatuated with her.

I went up to the second floor and was surprised to see Gildarts here….. Wait how did he get here unnoticed?!And why is he here in the first place.

I walked up to Gildarts and spoke to him "Gildarts! Why are you here!? Thought you had another mission?"

"I finished it and I see Lisanna is back….but everyone was either fighting or with Lisanna that they didn't notice me. Yeah. Also I wanted to see Master."

I knocked on the door and Gramps granted us acceptance. We walked inside and we took our seats.

Gramps smiled at both of us, "So brats, what's up."

Gildarts spoke first "You called me here. I also finished the mission you asked me to do."

"Ah, yes, I want you to start setting up the S-class trails; this year is special because it's on our holy grounds, Tenrou Island."

Gildarts nodded and Makarov continued, "The candidates are still undecided but I already have the lay out for what's gonna happen." Makarov then handed Gildarts the blue prints for the trails.

"Gildarts, I also want your opinion on Lucy."

"Ah, Lucy, quite the beauty Master-," I growled which surprised all of them, including myself "-but on a serious level she is a competent woman who is very intellectual, she managed Team Natsu (who were all idiots), and survived all those adventures. Though I don't think her magic is suitable for dangerous combat"

"I see, well I want you to hear Laxus' report before you leave, I debating whether she is ready or not to be in the trials. I know it's not until a while but I'm going to announce it earlier to give them time to train."

"Oh she's ready alright, trust me." That shocked both of them, 'Laxus gave praise and approval! He rarely does that!' is probably what their thinking.

"Laxus…..and why would you say that?" Master says with a weird face.

So I took out the video I recorded during the time I watched from the start. I reported what I witnessed with Master and Gildarts occasionally shocked.

"She has grown; it's probably because team Natsu wasn't there to hold her back all this time." Gildarts comments, he then nodded his approval.

"I going to put her in the trails for sure-" Gramps phone rang "Hello?"

…..His face turns into a smile then to a grin then into pure happiness. "You're welcome, Thank you. Bye" He turns off the Lacrima

"I love that girl; she is my pride and joy. She's an angel; I swear she's too good for us!" Master went on and on til Gildarts stopped him.

"What happened?"

"After Laxus left, she went to go do business with Love and Lucky but when she arrived they were held hostage while being looted by a dark guild. No was injured all safe, stuff intact, and dark guild defeated only by her and taken them into custody. They called me to inform me of the reward and thanks their sending." With comical tears.

"And what's more she sent to us and not herself, she is a true fairy. I'm gonna announce the candidates tomorrow, the trials will be in 10 months. That'll be enough time for Gildarts to settle everything; I just know that this year will be great!"

I went back home seeing as there was nothing left for today…

Back to Lucy's current time~ Laxus POV

I went back to the guild and headed towards the bar for a beer. I called Mira several times til I caught her attention and ordered a beer before checking her sister again. After finishing my beer I headed towards Gramps office to help with paperwork that he assigned me to do, he's a pain in my ass.

I went into his office greeting him like usual while starting on my work. But one thing was on my mind the whole time, Lucy.

Lucy POV

As I walked in, I was ignored as usual but proceeded to drag Evan up the stairs to Masters office. I knocked and when I heard his approval I stepped in, telling Evan to wait outside til I told him to come in.

"Ah Lucy my dear, what do you need?"

"Good morning Master, Laxus" I smiled but for some reason turned his head, did I just see pink? Whatever.

"I'm here to ask a favor." I asked nervously but Master just smiled "Of course! Anything for you, you're also doing a great job here, more than we deserve!"

I waved it off but then asked "Well, Master, I was wondering if Evan can join the guild and was wondering if you could help train him too…."

Master shook his head in approval "Evan? And why me?"

I called Evan to enter "Hi Makarov, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Evan August. The reason I would like your help is because I have Titan slaying magic."

Master's eyes widened in surprised followed by Laxus but he seemed….tense?

"Of course, welcome my boy, where do you want your stamp and what color?" Evan pointed to the base of his neck "silver" and Master nodded.

Master stamped him. Since his business was done I asked about his living arrangements and since he wanted to live in fairy hills. Master gave him his documents and paperwork then asked Laxus to show him around and guide.

Laxus grunted and I smiled at him saying bye to both, oblivious to the blush on both. As soon as they left I asked "Master is it okay if I stay a while, I feel like I need someone around for this."

"Of course, don't worry I'm right here, tell me if you need anything." With a fatherly smile filled with warmth that I so desired.

I got the letter out, feeling it was bulky. I took a deep breath and opened it.

Dear Luciana,

You are probably wondering why I'm calling you that, well it's your real name and since I know the time I have left is very little. First of all, you weren't born in Fiore but in a neighboring country called China (yes but in my version in this story). Your first five years of life was there. I met your mother at love and lucky when I ran away to Fiore, when we found out you were born, I went back to my home to ask for blessings. I wasn't expecting for me but for you, I begged my father to watch over you and guide you when the time was right, he agreed but on the terms he could take care of you for a while. You had gained both of our side of our powers and that rarely happens to people. You got my side of powers first, you were too little to handle it at the time so we sealed it but it also caused a few changes but you'll find that out soon enough. But things were changing so we had to move back to Fiore and changed our names, made a business and made sure you lived in a life of luxury. I wanted to protection but the isolation didn't protect you and I'm sorry. Later your mother's powers in you showed. Your mother was not only a Celestial mage but Celestial Queen, a title given by the Celestial King himself of complete mastery. It was a gift you can only be born with. Your mother had an enormous capacity of magic and you inherited it. Though your mother was sick because the dragons and other mystical creatures that lived on earth were threatened, she secluded them into different dimension. This caused her to suffer greatly, her power was mostly drained and the time dimension messed with her ability to regenerate her powers. She was very slowly dying; the sorrow that she would leave me consumed me so I indulged in work. This is very hard for me but I'm now going to tell you why I ran off in the first place. My father is…..someone very important in the China kingdom….very. I didn't want to live as him and carry the burden of his shadow. He is the greatest man you've would have known…..The family lineage name is Huángzú, it's my actual last name, Heartfilia was a cover. Your name was changed from Luciana Aria Huángzú; Aria was your mother's last name. Like I said the first 5 years were solely with him and you. You don't remember because it was sealed with your magic to make sure it would stay sealed. Another reason why you powers were sealed is because my father taught you things that you were suppose to inherit as his only direct bloodline, it was only basic stuff but we had to. China is very different from Fiore but since my time is running out, I want you to go see him. I think you able to handle the burden of what will come to you when you meet him. There is a badge and pin crested with the Huángzú family symbol in the envelope. It is carved of a phoenix as yin, the light and of a dragon as yang, the dark. There are distinct characters around representing fire, water, wind, earth, humanity. You should wear them on you wherever you go, you are gonna need it a lot in the future and many people will guide you. You're grandfather is your last connection to a blood family. He will tell and teach you everything. I will tell you a set of instructions that I want you to follow. 1. Go to the warehouse that holds your heritage that the guild Love and Lucky assigned. Go on there and there is a trunk with very distinctive marks and the family symbol. Take that with you, you'll know what to do. 2. Take whatever you may need for a long time, you will stay with him for a while 3. Go to Magic council and use the pin or badge to have and audience, they will provide you with everything you need from there on out. There may be many surprising things where your grandfather may be but I hope you know that I love you no matter what and to keep faith. Just…..remember your mothers words, hers are always more inspiring. You're always my little girl, I love you.

Your loving father

I sat there. Tears falling, mixing with tear stains that I imagine was made by my father. I heard a sounds but I was blocking the whole world out with me in total shock and grief. I cried hugging the letter to my heart while curling up to a ball.

Master's POV

I continued doing my work while she got out an envelope, a very bulky one. She was reading a very long letter and then tears appeared. I started panicking then the tears became tenfold. Someone knocked and Laxus entered.

Laxus had a distressed face looking upon Lucy, but it seems she doesn't notice while she's curled up.

"What happened master? Why is Lucy crying?" Laxus immediately says.

"I don't know! She was a reading a letter and all of a sudden she started crying, I don't know what to do!"

Lucy just blocked out our whole conversation.

Laxus POV

I gave Evan his tour and went to report back to Gramps. When I was going up the stairs, I smelled tears and heard crying in Master's office. I rushed and when I went in, I saw Lucy curled up crying.

I asked what happened and Master was panicking. I didn't know what to do too for awhile, until I finally walked up to her, kneeled down and hugged her.

I let her cry until she just stop. When I heard nothing, I looked at her and she had no expression at all.

Lucy though was having many thoughts and questions at the time of the comprehension.

I just held her because it felt right and she needed some personal contact right now.

Lucy's mind: I'm gonna do what father told me too. My grandfather is the only family I have anymore anyway. The letter was vague in parts leaving me to question a lot but I will find answers. I love Fairy Tail but I'm going to leave for a while, I'll be back. Going to grandfather's will be a good experience.

I watched as Lucy suddenly says "Master, I'm leaving"

My eyes widened and I naturally blurted out "What! Why are you leaving!?"

She looked at me, thanking me before saying "It's only for a while though. The reasons are kinda personal.

Gramps looked at me strangely then seriously at Lucy. "You mean you're leaving the guild."

Lucy looked at Master "I'm still going to be a guild member it's just that I'll be leaving for a while."

I immediately relaxed. Huh, I wonder why I was so worked up; this is so weird, this has never happened before.

"Master! I have a favor, can you please set some time tonight for a show. It's the last thing until I leave for tonight. I need to do what I was instructed."

Show? Instructed? Everything is happening to fast but Master replies "Of course, your voice is one in a million. I wish you luck on your journey."

"Please don't tell that it's me performing tonight, I'll make it a surprise. Excuse me Master."

She left and I was just wondering what happened….

Lucy's POV

I went downstairs and saw Evan at the bar. I sat at the seat next to him and greeted him. Evan smiled at me "Hey Lucy, its great here. What I don't get is how everyone centers their attention on the white haired lady."

"That's Lisanna, it's complicated, but how you doing so far."

"I'm all set, I have a great room, no money issues, and I feel great."

"That's awesome but I have something to tell you….I'm leaving tonight and I'm not coming back until a while."

Evan's expression immediately dropped to a disappointed one? "Why are you leaving?!"

"I have some issues that need to be solved….."

Evan looked really depressed and sad now. "Oh my gosh Evan please don't be sad, I'll be back!"

I went inside the bar as Mira never notices or cares anymore and whipped up two parfaits. I handed one to Evan, he accepted happily.

"As long as I know you're coming back."

"Thanks, it means a lot to know that you care that much." With a smile

Evan's eyes widened with a full out blush

Lucy finishes her parfait and cleans up "I have to get ready, I'll see you later" We said our goodbyes and I headed home.

I took a shower and went to my closet. 'WHAT TO WEAR!' I want this to be perfect because I won't see them for a while. I already know the songs I'm gonna sing.

General POV

Lucy was wearing a white off-the-shoulder long sleeve with a yellow jumper skirt that had intricate star patterns along the edge. She had white ankle high converse shoes with knee high socks. She adorned her hands with white fingerless gloves and her locket in place. She wore winged earrings, one wing on each side and of course the earring jeweled earring clipped on the top. All of her hair is tied back into a high ponytail that was curled.

Natsu's POV

Lisanna is back! I can't believe it, she was my best friend. Best friend? Huh…..how come I feel like I'm forgetting something….Oh well Lisanna was telling me how her life was in the other world.

I really thought she died, I'm so happy that she's back we are going to be partners! Partners?...I had that feeling again.

Master's POV

I need to make the announcement for tonight's performance; I'm so disappointed in my brats. I expected more, especially from Lucy's team…..sigh…. Where did I go wrong?

I walked up to the balcony and stood on the ledge. "Brats listen up!"

….

"BRATS"

…..still nobody was listening

"DAMMIT BRATS, OPEN YOUR DAMN EARS AND LISTEN TO WHAT I'M GONNA SAY BEFORE I SMASH ALL OF YOU." I was already in a half titan mode.

Then they all turned to listen to me now and many afraid.

"YOU DAMN BRATS HAVE BEEN UPSETTING FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS ALREADY, GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER. When I say listen, THEN LISTEN!" my face turning red while ranted. If they don't know what I've been talking about then too bad. This has gone too long and Lucy's leaving will end this nonsense.

Then Erza spoke up "Master! What have we done wrong! I see no reason why you're upset!"

"That's why I'm disappointed, you don't even know. Try and figure out what you've done and maybe it can be fixed….never mind I have an announcement."

Natsu's POV

We've done something wrong? I don't think we've done enough damage to make him this mad. I wonder what his announcement is.

Gray's POV

We haven't done anything wrong. We are actually more careful now that Lisanna is with us. We can't risk her getting hurt; she's actually a big burden on missions. She hasn't been using her magic and is very behind unlike…what was I going to say? Well she's here now and we can catch up on all we missed.

Erza POV

I think Master is just overreacting to his workload, I think he should take it like a man. All we've been doing is hanging out with Lisanna. Though it's been good that's she's back it's tiring that we can't talk about the past because she's not involved. I would love to have some girl time with….. Who was I going to say?

General POV

Master takes a breath in "I'm here to announce the candidates… I want to give you guys a head start considering the time your consuming now is not letting you be in your prime."

People were surprised but happy to know in advance still not noticing that there was a figure standing at the back with a cloak hiding its identity.

"The candidates are:"

Cana Alberona

Freed Justine

Juvia Lockser

Levy McGarden

Elfman Strauss

Mest Gryder

Gray Fullbustser

Nastu Dragneel

Everyone was cheering loudly thinking those were all the contestants.

And Lucy Heartfilia

Everyone suddenly became eerily quiet…

To celebrate, I have a special performance. It is also to commemorate someone before she leaves."

Again everyone was again eerily silent. Someone one was leaving? They were slowly taking all the information. They were slowly starting to realize what they have done wrong.

While people were setting up stage, people were in a daze, some had blank faces. They were slowly realizing it but not completely getting it.

After announcements were made, the figure walked to follow master back in his office while they set up.

Inside Master office

The figure removed it cloak for it to be Lucy behind it. "Lucy! What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to see you before I leave after the performance. I also want to ask if you can change my guild mark I'm going to cast a spell with your permission."

"I trust you…..here the stamp we've all been using since the beginning of this guild"

She gave an appreciative smile and took the stamp before casting a spell. "Stars of the heavens, who are plentiful, I ask you to shine each upon the comrades who bear this mark through me and embrace them in your strong light."

Master quickly removed the mark on her hand then when the spell was casted completely, lifting her shirt just below her breast, she stamped herself a few inches below her left breast, feeling it would become a part of something later. The insignia instead of a pink that it once was before was now dark as the night with stars twinkling in it.

Master was surprised, even when she was leaving she's still protecting them. How was this girl so selfless and pure? It brought Master to tears, that and he was losing one of his precious children.

He ran to hug her "Thank you so much, you didn't have too but you did. You are the granddaughter I never had, you are one of the reason that I think I've did right. I'm so glad you're in Fairy Tail, please come back soon, I'll miss you so much. I love you brat."

A tear slipped down her cheek before she went to wipe it "Don't worry Master; I'll be back for sure. I know I want to become S- class."They both laughed at that.

"I just know you'll make S-class, now go show you're guildmates what you're made of." He smiled fatherly.

"Wait….I also want to tell you I want to resign from team Natsu, my place is not there anymore. I already signed the documents."

"Of course my dear, you deserve more than that….Wait…Let me take on last photo to hang on my room, for sentimental reasons."

I happily obliged and they took a photo together. I smiled the brightest I could with my guild master.

I walked backstage without being seen and then took off my cloak completely. I felt someone come behind me and turned around.

"Laxus and Evan! What are you doing here?!"

Evan spoke first "Wanted you to wish you luck before you performed and before you left. Thanks for bringing me here…I'll see you when you come back." He hugged me before he sadly let go.

Laxus came to me then hugged me? That's rare. I hugged him back "Lucy, you better come back or I will zap you. I know this is weird but you're an important member of this guild, remember that."

I let go before smiling at the two to go on stage. As I stepped on stage, making sure the small headset microphone is in place.

Everyone eyes went wide, some murmurs could be heard.

"Hi, my name is Lucy Heartfilia and this is my last performance I'll do in a while." She smiled brightly and genuinely.

She stood in the middle and the music started playing (Never be the same by Jessica Mauboy)

She started with her amazing voice resonated throughout the guild amazing and impressing everyone.

Oooooh oooooooh

Let me tell you about a girl that I used to be,

Same name same face but a different me,

She didn't know what she was thinking,

Didn't know her world was sinking,

Had her dreams written on a paper in her hand,

Held on tight but she didn't understand,

The love and hurt that she's replacing,

All the past that she's erasing,

We all get lost sometimes and we forget who we are and we forget who we are

Somewhere along the way, we're all running in the crazy race,

Never thinking about the hearts we break,

And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,

Cause when you're standing there all alone,

Losing everything you've ever known,

You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

I wish that I could share a different point of view,

But the words coming out wouldn't speak the truth,

You wouldn't know what I was really thinking,

And I'd return to the girl, who's sinking,

Sinking down to the world that waits below,

And I don't want to be there anymore,

Don't wanna be there anymore,

We all get lost sometimes and we forget who we are and we forget who we are

Somewhere along the way, we're all running in the crazy race,

Never thinking about the hearts we break,

And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,

Cause when you're standing there all alone,

Losing everything you've ever known,

You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

The more you win, the more you want,

It never ends, it never stops,

Oh it's never enough,

Oh, the more you win, the more you want,

It never ends, it never stops,

Oh it's never enough,

We're all running in the crazy race,

Never thinking about the hearts we break,

And as our hope starts fading away things are never gonna be the same,

Cause when you're standing there all alone,

Losing everything you've ever known,

You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

Things are never gonna be the same,

Things are never gonna be the same,

When you're standing there all alone,

Losing everything you've ever known,

You're staring at a different face things are never gonna be the same,

Things are never gonna be the same,

Things are never gonna be the same,

Never gonna be the same.

Everyone had realized their mistake; her song had conveyed the message. They made a mistake for too long and it can't be undone. Her once close friends burst out crying, many guilty, and all were sad.

Levy was crying mumbling "I'm so sorry Lucy, I never meant for it to turn out this way." Many saying and feeling the same but Lucy still had a warm smile on her face. She was going to make it a concert they remember.

The beat of the next song silenced all of them to turn their attention back to Lucy. (Wings by little mix)

She sang to the upbeat song while dancing professionally with flips and gymnastic moves fashioned into the dance. 3D effects were added to enhance her show and during the middle climax backup dancers popped in with a smoke screen.

The performance amazed the guild; they didn't know Lucy was capable of this. Lucy was a big impact on their guild but even more so now.

When the song was over there was a standing ovation with everybody yelling for more. It was the most memorable experience for the guild.

She waved her hand "Sorry guys but this is my last song."

Everyone was getting quiet til it was completely quiet. They were all mumbling of where her guild mark was….

Lucy noticing this just smiled and swayed to the slow song that came. (Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson)

She sang with depth and when the first chorus came up, she infused her magic creating warm lights surrounding everyone. She interacted with them; say her goodbye indirectly even if they didn't know. When she sang the last note, she held in the sob that threatened to come out.

She smiled to the best of her abilities before putting up the Fairy Tail hand sign with the hand that once had a signature pink guild mark.

Levy broke out in a cry "Lu-chan I'm sorry please don't go…I'm sorry….please"

Lucy walked off stage before heading to the door. She was then stopped by team Natsu.

Natsu with a broken face speaks up first "Luce I'm sorry, please…..just don't leave me. You are a part of team Natsu, you can't leave and I forbid you to leave."

Gray spoke up next "Lucy I know we treated you…but that doesn't matter now you are still a part of us."

"Lucy please don't act rash, I know are actions were wrong since nakama is supposed to be treasure but you can excuse us, Lisanna is back and we need to catch up."

"Guys calm down…." They looked relieved since they think she would just be leaving to go to her apartment.

"I'll even take you back to your apartment Lucy!" Natsu said with his signature smile.

This broke her heart…they completely forgot about her for the longest time and….

She smiled brightly at them but tears started running down her face. This alarmed all of them. "It's been half a year….half a year…You've changed, I've changed. You and the entire guild ignored me the whole time; I can't wait for you guys that long. If I hadn't performed you would have never noticed me. I've tried talking to you but you brushed me off. My chain to team Natsu disappeared along with my old guild mark. I resigned; we were never a team anymore anyways. You took all the missions without me; I never went with you anymore. I was dead in your eyes but this place was the only home I had left, I can't call it home but it was a place I could stay. Don't say that we can just go back, I've tried, and if I wanted to feel this way I would have stayed with my father. I'm always alone; I've never had a family maybe I wasn't suppose to have one. But don't you dare say my actions are rash, you don't know the reasons why I'm leaving or if I'm coming back, you don't know anything about me anymore!" Her smile had disappeared.

They were all guilty, regretful, and remorseful. Then Natsu being the idiot he is blurts "Of course I know everything about you, you're my partner!"

Lucy just stared at him, tears still falling "No you don't. It's been half a year. I don't live in an apartment anymore in fact my name is not Lucy or Luce; you don't deserve to call me that. My name is Luciana Aria Huángzú. You don't know anything, there's more…..I need to leave I don't wanna miss my train."

"Wait! Luce….I mean….I'm sorry?"

Lucy just turned her head away and walked out of the guild. Once the doors were shut everyone grieved.

Master spoke up "She's right…..you people didn't deserve her at all. That girl is the only one who did any good here." With a disappointed look.

Erza was enraged by that offence "Master! What has she done! We've done better! You've gone too far!" Gray standing up to agree with her.

"More than all of you disappointing fools. We cherish Nakama, it the basis of this guild and you treated her as dirt and nonexistent when she paid for all of our financial problems and made business for the guild, I have never had any financial problems anymore! And whenever you make trouble or conflict that is legal enough to disband us, she does the documents and talking for charges for the council to get rid of us! She's been keeping this place running and I have less problems! You know what; she did all that even though she lost her father during the Edolas incident. She even made her fathers' company the richest enterprise while working her powers and physical strength. I'm confident enough to say she can beat Erza or Mira even now. She did this all alone, no friends and no family yet she accomplished something that usually takes a lifetime."

They were all speechless….

"And what's more even though you treated her that way, she's still protecting each and every one of you, even future members. She casted a spell on your marks with the protection of the stars. She hired an executive to make sure Fairy Tail is running and all the jobs she took, she donated the reward to the guild."

Now everything weighed on them it was crushing them to the point of death. Erza was just staring blinkingly tears coming out of one eye. Mira repeatedly saying sorry over and over again.

Master keep that she had another mark and that she's coming back, this is part of their punishment.

"I have proof, here, watch it. I really thought all of you were better than this."

He played them the video hoping none of his brats would ever repeat this mistake. He went back to his office.

Lucy POV

I ran as soon as the doors were closed. I asked the wolves to wait by a nearby park. As soon as I saw them Fulgur tried his best to cheer me up. I smiled I love these guys.

"Come on you guys, we need to board the train!" I wiped my tears away, I felt so refreshed, everything is lifted off my chest.

I got a ticket and walked around to find no empty seats but then Glaciem bit my leg, not hard, but dragging me to a certain boot. When I looked inside the booth, I saw two familiar kids. They looked at me before smiling brightly and opening the door. They jumped on me, hugging me.

"Sting, Rouge! What are you doing here?!" We sat down together, talking.

"Since it wasn't safe in our last place, we had to move." Rogue spoke up

"So we're going to Crocus and see if we can figure something out." Sting said giving a huge smile.

General POV

"You boys are the bravest kids I've known. You're all alone when adults think so little of you. I'm heading to Crocus too; it's where the magic council is. I have business with them. Why don't you come with me, I will have a surprise for you." She smiled brightly at the boys

The boys smile widened and have a tint of blush, they both replied simultaneously "Thank You!"

"You boys are my friends, so no problem."

They were amazed that the woman would offer such kindness to two kids with cats when all others have shunned these orphaned kids.

"Well this train ride is six hours longs, why don't we make the most of it." Lucy made them sit on her lap.

For the rest of the ride, they got to know each other better. Lucy knew the reason why they had to kill their dragon parents, and more. They also got to know her better too. At the end of the ride they felt closer than they were before. They trusted one another.

Lucy guided them out of the train and held their hands "So guys, let's go shopping first. I can tell you've been living off of what you can get. You have very little money, clothes and I see you only shower when you find a river. Come on, I'll provide you with what you need."

They immediately replied "What! We can't take advantage of you. We'd feel guilty and everything is fine now."

"No! Just accept it; you guys are children that deserve better. Besides you guys are my friends, don't worry, and think of me as your elder sister."

She dragged them to the store first buying them some clothes asking the shop owners to deliver it later. She later headed towards another store to buy necessities they would need, including food.

When she was done, she smiled. Lucy was excited for what was store. They were walking down a street til they stopped in front of an antique gateway leading to a forest area.

The boys were a little confused. Lucy just smiled at them; they were going to be surprised. She contemplated on what time it was, she wanted to see when to leave.

They walked down the pathway and ended up in a huge clearing, a simple two story house further up.

She opened her arms wide and says "Welcome to your new home"

They stared at the home in awe but then it struck them "Wait! What. We don't have money to pay you and this is your house!"

"Well, technically this is just one of the houses I own. I don't even use it. Besides, this is the perfect place to train. It's has a clearing and you're nearby resources. Why would I ask you to pay? I will let you stay here for free; I also made an account for you two. Just to cover your pays until you're old enough. But in return, I want to see the fruits of your training. I want to see what you have achieved."

Sting and Rogue were dumbfounded. "Why would you do this for us? We only met you in a short amount of time."

Lucy sadly smiled, "Probably because you were the only friends who spent time with little old me but also because I saw great potential in both of you. I just want to aid in that success."

They looked at each other before pouncing Lucy in a bear hug. Lucy fell back laughing. She felt warm with this experience that a tear escaped from her eye.

They all went inside
