Chapter 1:

Lucy Heartfilia, the light of Fairy Tail, was locking her door and was about to head to the guild when two long slim arms wrapped loosely around the top of her ample bust. The blonde celestial mage froze, not recognizing the blue painted finger nails that belonged to the small hands connected together. Lucy slowly turned around nervously and gasped, seeing a very familiar face that she hadn't seen in so long it felt like forever.

Ayano! The blonde squealed happily, having missed the girl so very much. "Oh Aya, I've missed you so much!" Turning around in her arms to hug said woman back tightly, Lucy began to cry. Aya wiping her tears away took Lucy's arm in hers and cheerfully said "Let's go to this guild of yours, we can talk later, but for now, I heard you had lots of hot guys there." With a grin, the girls walked the short distance to the guild. Lucy summoned Plu, as she often did when she walked to and from Fairy Tail. "Awe he's too cute Lucy." Aya squealed, hugging the shaking spirit, "pun pun" Plug replied, happy to meet someone nice just like his mistress and best friend. Lucy started talking to Aya about what happened in the time they were apart. Asking if she too wanted to join her at Fairy Tail, and offered to let her live with her, saying it would be easier to divide the rent in half. Aya smiled, agreeing, telling Lucy she'd be happy to, and she'd love to spend more time with the her since she hadn't seen her since she had ran away from home over eight years ago.

Lucy sent Plu back to the celestial world as she opened the doors to the guild hall, knowing the small spirit frightened easily at the loud noise that always seem to escape the place. Warning Aya to be on guard against the constantly flying tables and chairs from the fighting members, Aya laughed at the smile that Lucy had on her face as they causally made their way to the bar to talk to Mira, greeting everyone they passed, all of which were giving Aya questioning glances. The silver haired Mira smiled warmly at Lucy, and then at Aya with questions alight in her eyes. "Good morning Lucy dear, who's your friend? She looks almost identical to you."

"Good morning Mira, this is my cousin, Ayano Heartfilia. She is my Uncle Jason's daughter on my dad's side; after I ran away I lost all contact with her." Lucy said sheepishly, gesturing to the black haired girl beside her as she sat down, smoothing over her form fitting light blue mini skirt with yellow triangles on the side of each leg. Unlike Lucy, Aya had black hair and Bright Purple eyes, instead of brown, and was slightly taller with a slightly bigger bust, being that her body was a few years older than Lucy's because of the seven years Lucy had been under that spell on Tenrou Island. Aside from the obvious differences the black haired Ayano looked just like Lucy and had the same bright warm smile on her face, they were definitely related. When Mira giggled loudly and hugged the girl, the rest of the guild took notice, the young girl looked to be the same age as the celestial mage beside her and wore tight black jeans and a blue button up blouse, much like Laxus' purple shirt that he often wore, Though hers had Short sleeves and a silver design of small roses going down the front, veining around the buttons.

Team Natsu crowded around the trio and started asking questions, glad to finally meet someone from Lucy's family, being under the impression that she had none left. They knew she had an aunt, uncle, and father, but had heard they all passed during the seven year gap they spent on Tenrou Island. Though she only talked about it the one time they had found her crying after the letter her father had left, stating that her aunt had passed three years after she went missing and her uncle had passed the year before she had come back, Lucy had never mentioned they had a daughter.

Natsu the flame dragon slayer of course was the first one to open his mouth and asked her what kind of magic she used and how strong she was with Cana asking if she could hold her alcohol better than her light weight cousin. What really surprised everyone was that she was also a celestial wizard like Lucy thinking it only ran on her mother's side, and she could use Lucy's keys as well, being blood related. Aya had a few of her own that Lucy could use, though Aya didn't have any gold keys like her cousin, being that Lucy had ten of them. She did have all thirteen platinum keys, which belonged to the Chinese zodiac, and demonstrated by summoning Kyo the cat, who had appeared in his human form looking similar to Leo. Except that he had red eyes and wore a black shirt and khakis with sneakers, instead of the suits the lion preferred, and he didn't wear the sun glasses. Kyo was her favorite, she said as she dismissed him, while happy drooled on her shoulder thinking Kyo was so cool. Then she put everyone in a state of immense shock, when she revealed she could use lightning magic. She explained that again, like her blonde cousin, she had a second magic, but she hadn't had to sacrifice one of her spirits like the other celestial mage next to her. Though Aya didn't know of Lucy's broken key yet. After answering Natsu's questions to the best of her abilities, Gray asked if she had a boyfriend with a smirk on his face, earning him a smack from Lucy, who he had started dating a few months ago. "Owe Luce, what was that for?" Gray whined sarcastically, knowing full well why the woman had hit him. Lucy just glared at him playfully and gave him a peck on the check as she rubbed his pant covered thigh, glad that at least for now he had clothes on.

Unnoticed by the rest of the guild, a certain dragon slayer on the second floor was leaning against a pillar with his arms crossed and his headphones on mute, listening intently, acting as though he didn't really care in the least, but with mild curiosity on his face. He had smelled Lucy's scent of strawberries and vanilla when she walked into the guild, but didn't turn to look, not wanting everyone to know he had a crush on the light of Fairy Tail, outside of the thunder legion anyway. He couldn't keep secrets from them, they always found out anyway, but all that had changed the moment his sense of smell picked up the intoxicating scent of white orchids and starfruit with a hint of something like a spice the girl standing next to her had. He turned slowly, making it look as though he was looking out over the guild as he often did since his return, and inwardly gasped at the breathtaking beauty beside his busty guild mate. Though she looked a lot like her cousin in features, he was mesmerized by the warm smile on her lips, was taken in by her gorgeous purple eyes under long dark eyelashes and wanted nothing more than to run his fingers through her long silky black hair that played peeka-boo with the split that stopped half up the back of her shirt and her deliciously tight pants. He licked his lips unconsciously, not paying attention to the blue grey eyes of his grandfather, who had a wondrous grin on his face, happy that Laxus was showing some interest in a girl, and hoping it was more than lust. He then walked down to meet the new girl that seemed to have stolen his grandson's heart from the very start, even if Laxus himself didn't know it yet.

With the same line he used on Lucy when she arrived eight years ago, master Makarov greeted the young woman warmly. "It would seem we have yet another new recruit, and she's just as breathtakingly beautiful as her cousin." Blushing, both girls said "Yes sir" at the same time, which caused them both to giggle and smile at one another. "Alright my dear, just let Mirajane here know where and what color you want your guild mark to be. "Laxus!" Master yelled for his grandson who slightly jumped, knowing his grandfather was up to something by the gleam in his eye. "What is it old man?" Came the handsome mans deep voice in typical fashion, sending shivers down Aya's spine. He had a lightning shaped scar on his face, standing on the second floor wearing afore mentioned purple button up shirt and black loose fitting pants with silver shoes. His black coat with the gray fur trim hanging off his shoulders, and sound pods that he had moved to hang around his neck when his grandfather yelled his name. "Get down here son and greet our new member as the next guild master should." Tch was all he said as he made his was down; secretly thrilled that he had an excuse to meet the lovely raven haired woman.

Just as he reached his grandfather, he inhaled sharply, though the only one to hear it was a snickering iron dragon slayer who was amused that finally someone could get under Laxus' skin so quickly without even trying. Turning his head back after glaring at Gajeel, Laxus addressed the woman in front of him. Aya, after mentally shaking herself loose of the trance she'd been in when she laid eyes on the tall and incredibly sexy smirking blonde man walking toward them, lifted her shirt just under her breast on the left side, asking for a dark blue guild mark that matched Gray's. Mira giggled and mentioned that Lucy's boyfriend's was the same color, to which Aya replied, that her favorite color, was in fact blue. The black haired Aya looked up as a strong masculine hand was extended to her in greeting. "Welcome to the Fairy Tail, I'm Laxus Drayer, master Makarov's grandson, and the next master of the guild." The tall man grinned proudly when purple eyes met blue grey. As she took the hand, there was a visible spark as they shook hands making both release them quickly in surprise. Silence overtook the guild after the spark flashed brightly. Slowly, Freed made his way to his friend and his new guild mate, smiling at Mira, as Natsu loudly voiced the question going through everyone's mind, "What the hell was that?" "If I may, Miss Ayano, was it? What type of magic did you say you used?" said Freed polite as always.

"Celestial and lightning magic, and please just call me Aya, like my cousin I am no longer a debutante having lost both my parents as well. Even though I still retain the Heartfilia name. Oh!" she said in surprise remembering something important. "And Luce, I have something to talk to about when we get a moment in private." Sadness swept across both their faces as they thought about the family that was now lost to them. "Alright Miss Aya, I believe I have a theory as to why there was a spark when your hand came into contact with Laxus'." she nodded for him to continue, so he spoke on. "I think it's because you are both lightning mages, and that was your magic's way of letting the other know that, I wouldn't say intimidate so much as your magic was greeting the others, being the rare magic it is, especially with Laxus being the lightning dragon slayer." Aya looked to Laxus in awe, knowing that he was strong the moment she had seen him, but hadn't expected him to be that strong. He gave her that sexy grin of his again and extended his hand once again. "Let's try that again, hmm?" She took his hand again and this time there was no visible shock of lightning like before, but there was a shock that is felt when two people feel a connection to one another. However, they both hid it well from the rest of the guild, everyone that is, except master, who with his knowing eyes, saw the exchange and the slight widening of their eyes.

Aya releasing his hand slowly, looked to Lucy with a smile, pointed to her tattoo and asked. "Since when do you have ink?" Lucy's eyes looked sad for a moment as she mumbled something about explaining it later. Aya just grinned and unbuttoned a few of the top buttons of her shirt exposing her shoulders and turned around to show her cousin the blue butterfly holding a red rose with the names of both her parents, and Lucy's parents as well, along with the dates they died in the petals. Lucy stared wide eyed for a moment, then after her cousin fixed her shirt, threw her arms around her as tears threaten to fall. "Thank you for including my parents Aya, it means a lot to me." She said happily. "Well welcome my dear, to Fairy Tail." Master said, as a way to change the subject before both girls started crying. "I hope you enjoy your time here and come to love this guild as much as the rest of us do." Aya Sniffled before surprising master by giving him a big hug, he then smiled, returning the warm gesture which was soon replaced with mouth dropping shock as she then turned to Laxus and gave him the same big hug. Lucy laughed at the guilds expressions, knowing that no one except a handful of people, herself included, ever gave the big mean and scary Laxus Drayer a hug. Even the man himself couldn't help but look at the girl that had her arms around him in complete and udder shock. Slowly, as if unsure of himself, Laxus returned the hug and vaguely noticed how much he enjoyed her being in his large muscular arms. Master and Laxus both noticed that though they act similar, Aya's emotions were more guarded than her cousin's, even if she was just as, if not more, outgoing then Lucy.

The guild hall slowly went back to normal, everyone but team Natsu, Laxus, and master, returning to their seats to talk about the bright girl that had just joined them. Master and Laxus both sat down to the left of the new girl, Laxus sitting right next to her, nursing a beer, while team Natsu sat on her right next to Lucy. Gray had moved his arm to around Lucy's shoulder and absent-mindedly played with her now long golden locks that were pulled into low pig tails to keep him from stripping out of his clothes as was his bad habit. Laxus was surprised to find that he was suddenly no longer jealous of Gray and Lucy, he was actually quite happy for them now. Aya and Lucy were sipping on the strawberry milkshakes Mira had brought the happy girls as they chatted, when all of a sudden Natsu opened his big mouth in challenge to the new girl. "Hey Aya fight me! If you're anything like Luce here then you must be pretty strong. Everyone sweat dropped at the excited pyro.
