It had been just around two years since the "Newer" characters of the guild had become ignored. Two years since Lisanna came back. Two years since they formed a bond, Wendy, Carla, Lucy, Juvia, Gajeel, and Panther Lily. They weren't apart of 'Team Natsu' anymore, they had left. Although, it wasn't like they would notice, anyway.
So, as this all happened, each relationship was lost and a new one formed in their place. Juvia replaced Levy, for Lucy, and their 'Love Rivalry' ended. Gajeel became a brotherly figure. His stature had sweetened and he was more kind to his group.
"Hmm.. How's about The Forgotten Fairies?" The young sky mage asked joyfully. She and the blonde celestial mage were thinking of names for their group. The blonde nodded, making the blunette grin and squeal in happiness. "Thanks Lu-Chan!" Lucy gave a wink and smiled, slightly, before giving the young girl a hug.
"Ey, Wendy, I'm going to get us a few drinks. What would Carla and you like?" Lucy decided to not even bother with the barmaid; as she would probably be ignored. She turned around and her face paled. It was nothing new, but she still wasn't used to it. Gosh, she never really noticed how much it hurt her to see the man she loved locking lips with someone else. Carla must've noticed the shell-shocked blonde as she squeaked out a reply for Wendy almost immediately, "She'll have a strawberry milkshake, please!"
Lucy came back to her senses and nodded. "I'll be right back!" She inwardly scowled and headed down the hall, into the bar. She was too busy making herself a beer, and Wendy a milkshake, to notice her group walk through the guild doors. It was quite cute. Wendy had began to take after Lucy, and had looked up to her. "Lucy! What are you doing?! You could've just asked me to get you those!" Lucy grit her teeth. She grabbed the first thing to her right, which happened to be a cold glass of water, and poured it on Mira. "Shut up. God, you're so annoying!" Lucy let the glass cup fall out of her hand and smash on the ground. All eyes were on them. "You gonna drink that? You look thirsty, Barmaid.
Juvia started to clap and giggle. "Eheh! Lulu! Can you get me some beer? Oh and good job! Eheh!" Juvia waved to Lucy, her eyes sparkling.
"Yeah sure!" Lucy smiled and finished getting the drinks. Juvia, though, sensed Lucy struggling to hold three drinks so she ran down to help Lucy. She locked arms with Lucy and began giggling. As they walked to their table Juvia "accidentally" bumped into the loving couple, making them glare and Juvia and her.
"So. Wendy and Carla told us about the name... And.. We love it! I say yes!" Juvia exclaimed, taking a big sip of her beer. Gajeel just nodded in agreement, soon having all colour drain from his face. Poor thing wasn't over Levy, she broke his heart. He started to feel drowsy and sick. So as he began to look for something to empty his stomach, he found an empty milkshake glass. It was Wendy's glass, thankfully, she had finished it. Although she looked a little traumatised. "G-Gajeel! You jerk!" She shrieked, "No troia for the next week!" She then began to tease him. Juvia grinned wide and burst out laughing.
"Ah! Wendy, you learn from the best!" Juvia pet Wendy's head while Wendy gave her a mischievous smile. "Gajeel! You really need to get over her." Panther Lily scolded Gajeel while Wendy sat underneath the table.
"I-It's not as easy as you think..!" Juvia raised an eyebrow at him and gave him a death glare. She had been able to get over her crush on Gray, so how come HE couldn't get over Levy. In fact she was completely able to change her own speech, no longer speaking in third person.
Sighing, Juvia looked over to Lucy. "Lulu, how's about you, Wendy and I go shopping? You know you wanna." Juvia glomped Lucy in a bear hug and squeezed the life out of her. Wendy crawled out from under the table and began pestering her with meaningless sentences such as, 'Pleaseeee!', 'Come on Lu!' and other random things. She finally agreed, in a fit of giggles.
(A/N; This part will go from Lucy and the girls to Gajeel and Panther Lily.)
~With Gajeel and Panther Lily~
Gajeel and Panther Lily had at least a few hours to prepare their apartment. Recently, they had all bought the apartment together. It was quite big for an apartment.
"Gajeel, I'll be back. I'm out to get Lucy's gift." Gajeel nodded and let him go. 'Honestly, how does someone forget their own birthday...' He pondered. Yes, I had forgotten to mention, it was Lucy's birthday and the plan was to have the girls distract Lucy while he organised everything.
Once Gajeel arrived at the apartment, he immediately got started on rearranging the furniture to what he thought Lucy would like. When he finished he would begin to paint the room, it didn't have to be painted but the wallpaper was falling off and he wanted the room to look nice for Lucy's birthday.
He bunched all the gifts in the middle of the room; excluding Panther Lily's. His gift was wrapped in a metallic-looking wrapping paper. It took him a lot of solo missions to get the gift. It was quite hard to sneak out with the solo missions, he almost got caught a few times.
He noticed the paint all over himself and took a shower as quickly as he could.
~With the girls~
"Ooh! Lulu! You look so pretty in that! I'll buy it for you!" Juvia exclaimed, squeezing Lucy in a hug.
"But Juvia... This dress is a bit.. Fancy.." Lucy mumbled, trying to convince her to not get the dress.
"Nonsense! Let's check up on Wendy and Carla." Lucy sighed and nodded, changing back into her clothes(IN THE CHANGEROOM! NOT IN FRONT OF JUVIA). Juvia took the dress out of Lucy's hands and began to walk over to Wendy's changeroom, carrying her's and Lucy's dress in her hands. "Wendy, are you done yet?" Wendy walked out of the changeroom, nodding. She must've already tried on the dress. "And how's Carla doing?"
"Almost done, girls." Carla stated coming out of the changeroom. Juvia nodded and took the two girls/exceeds dress'.
"Alright then, let's go home. It's about.." Juvia looked down at her watch, "..Eight PM." Her eyes widened. Gajeel must be done by now. "Hey, Lucy. Wendy, Carla and I have some 'business' to attend to. Meet you back home?" Lucy nodded with a smile.
"Okay~ Bye!"
