It had been months since Lucy had come back from what had happened. Team Natsu had been on a roll with their missions. It seemed like after what had happened earlier between Lucy and the team had brought them closer together and made them realize how important each member was. After returning from their latest mission they were back at the guild trying to relax.
"That was definitely a great mission." Lucy said relaxing. "Even though we were outnumbered, we were able to stop all of them from defeating us."
"Yep we definitely couldn't have done it without you though Luce." Natsu said. Ever since Natsu had apologized to Lucy, he made sure to tell her how important she was to the team.
"Thanks Natsu, but I'm pretty sure you took out most of them." Lucy said
"Still you helped hold a lot of them back so they couldn't get the jump on us." Gray added.
"And you stopped a few of them from taking me out." Erza said.
"Thanks guys." Lucy said smiling. She had already forgiven them for what they had said, and wish they didn't feel the need to always tell her how important she was.
"Hard to believe they're all friends again." Gajeel said sitting a few tables away from them.
"Yeah it's hard to believe they're really back to normal again." Levy added. "A lot of us thought there would be no way she'd ever forgive them."
"Juvia just hopes my love rival doesn't end up stealing Gray-sama away." Juvia said in her usual love mode.
"Yep everything is definitely the same like nothing had happened." Gajeel said laughing.
"LISTEN UP BRATS!" Makarov said as he came down. Everyone immediately stopped talking to listen to the master. "As some of you know the Scarlet Strings Festival is coming up real soon and of course Fairy Tail will be a part of it."
"I always love the festivals that Fairy Tail is a part of." Lucy thought to herself.
"This festival is for anyone hoping to confess their feelings to the one they love most in the world." Makarov continued. "If the feelings are returned than the strings of love will make you destined to end up together."
"Juvia hopes that Gray-sama will return his feelings for me." Juvia thought to herself worried that Gray wouldn't confess to her.
"Unfortunately we may not have that many people to help with the festival and most of the guild are too busy to help us host it." Just as the master was saying that Lucy got an idea for help.
"Hey master I think I know a few people that would be willing to help with the festival."
"Really?" Makarov asked wondering who she was thinking of.
"Well it's been a few months since we saw all of them, but what if we asked Luffy and his crew to help us?" Everyone immediately thought about that idea, and how it could be good.
"Brook is a great musician." Gajeel said remembering the songs he had played at the guild. "I hope that crazy red head doesn't try to kill me again if she ever shows up again."
"It would be nice seeing Robin again." Levy said remembering how nice it was having another bookworm at the guild. "I hope she enjoyed the books I gave her."
"Sanji could help with the food." Mira added thinking about all the things he helped show her.
"And I still need to beat Nami at drinking." Cana said slamming her mug down.
"Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask since they are our friends now." Makarov said.
"Thanks Master." Lucy said happy to hear that he was open to the idea.
"Hey Luce can we come with you to see Luffy again?" Natsu asked excited. Even though Luffy punched him the first time they met, they were able to become friends instantly.
"Sure I guess, but don't forget you'll get sick being on his ship." Lucy pointed out.
"I don't care I want to see them all again."
"Figures you'd ignore the obvious. Anyone else want to come to?"
"Sure I'd like to see their ship." Gray said
"And Zoro definitely owes me a rematch." Erza said smiling.
"I think I'll just wait here." Wendy said not wanting to get sick.
"Definitely a smart choice." Carla stated.
"Alright then ready to go them Happy?" Natsu asked excited.
"Aye sir!" Happy said as usual.
"Well alright then." Lucy said as she pulled out her transport key. "TRANSPORT KEY! TAKE US TO THE THOUSAND SUNNY!"
