It all started like any other day with me waking up to my alarm at a prompt 8 AM. I got up and picked out my clothing for the day then I went and showered. Scrubbing away the depression and sadness from the memories this day held with my Strawberry and Jasmine body wash. Today is the 16th death anniversary of my mother, the late Layla Heartfilla. She died when I was five and left me with my horrible father, Jude Heartfilla, I ran away a year ago now and he hasn't bothered looking for me... So either he is glad I am gone or he just hasn't noticed yet. That would be just like him to be so absorbed in his work he hasn't noticed his only daughter has run off, I am sure that my care takers have noticed but I left them all a letter telling them why I left. I am certain that they understood after all the last time my father had spoken to me before I had run away was to tell me that I was to marry someone of wealth and that I had 3 months to find one that I liked before he paired me off with the highest bidder... He is despicable, acting like I am nothing more than one of his Purebred Mares or farm stock.

Shaking my head to clear it of all the negative thoughts I hopped out of the shower and towel dried my hair noticing that the blue streak in my hair was finally starting to fade. A left over reminder of my last mission when I had fought a strange mage who used a similar magic to Gray. His ice make magic had stained my hair and left a large blue streak. Happy that I could finally look in the mirror I jumped with joy only to walk out of my bathroom and scream when I saw Happy sitting outside of it waiting for me to exit as it seemed.

"KYAH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE HAPPY?!" I screamed terrified that the little blue Exceed had just so causally been waiting knowing I was in the shower. He looked up at me and his little eyes were filled with tears and a burn mark ran across his head by his ear. Instantly upon seeing the mark I dropped to my knees and tipped his head back to see the injury."What happened Happy? Are you okay?"I asked the fragile looking cat, usually I couldn't shut him up but now I have to try to get him to talk.

"Natsu got mad at me Lucy, and he told me to get out of his sight... All I did was drop a glass and he shot a streak of his fire at me." Happy cried sadly, Natsu did this to him? I immediately lead him into my bathroom and wrapped a robe around myself now noticing I wasn't wearing anything.

"Come here Happy let's get that burn cleaned up shall we?'' I asked him kindly and he looked up at me with his dull little eyes and nodded, his face showing a flicker of his gratitude for my kindness. I dug through my medicine cabinet and pulled out some alcohol swabs, a roll of gauze, some antibiotic cream, and a pain numbing ointment. Walking over to the emotionally broken Exceed I quickly explained what I was going to do and somewhere in his blank expression I saw a flicker of recognition that I was trying to help him and he nodded. Carefully tipping his head back again I applied some pain numbing cream and waited until he couldn't feel it anymore, then I used some alcohol swabs and cleaned the burn up. Using some scissors I cleared away some of the singed fur and dead skin, next I applied the antibiotic cream and wrapped up the wound with some gauze.

Before I could react to what was happening the Exceed burst into tears and flung himself at me crying about how much he hated stupid Natsu and how sorry he was for how he treated me in the past. Soothing the usually annoying cat and carrying him into my kitchen to find him some fish I dug in my refrigerator and dug out the most beautiful and expensive piece of fish I had. walking over to the sobbing cat I gave him the fish and instantly his face lit up.

"Thank you Lushy! I am so sorry for how I have treated you in the past!" He cried as he bit into the fish.

"Haha you're welcome Happy! It was my pleasure to put a smile back on that adorable face. It's no big sweat though I got used to it after awhile." I replied putting on my award winning smile. After telling the young cat I would return really quick after I got dressed I slipped away into my room to change my clothes.

Now clothed in matching black lace lingerie, a dark pink off the shoulder crop top, black high waisted shorts that only just covered my but, and a pair of dark pink and purple converses, I pulled my now dry hair up into a pony tail and left my bangs free though I did grab a head band for later just incase. Walking out of my huge room and entering my kitchen I saw Happy patiently waiting for me to exit and as soon as he saw me his face lit up and a smile dawned that adorable face, seeing the small cat smile made a big smile adorn my angelic face.

"Hey Lushy? Can I ask you a big favor?" Happy sheepishly asked. Somehow I knew what his question would be but I decided to Ask him anyway just in case.

" Yeah what's up buddy?" I queried and tilted my head slightly looking at him with a curious face.

"Since Natsu purposely burned me... Can I stay with you?" The fragile Exceed asked looking really scared for a second then giving me a sheepish look.

"Of course I really didn't want you going back to him after he did that to you anyway. I would be glad for you to stay with me in fact we will go look for a new house so that Natsu can't just barge in anymore!" I told the sad looking cat and instantly his face lit up in the biggest smile I have ever seen on him.

"Lets go then!" Happy excitedly exclaimed looking really happy that I was willing to do this just for him. I had been waiting for an excuse to move anyway and had managed to save up 5 million Jewel for this purpose so on that note we set out to find a new home some what far across town from Strawberry Street. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be rough for both me and Happy. Nevertheless we set off for a long day of house shopping.

***********TIMESKIP 3 HOURS************

After a much shorter time than we had both originally thought we found the perfect home for us to live in and it was a steal too only 1.5 million Jewel for the 15 acres it sat on. The house itself sat on a slight hill next to large lake that was perfect for swimming in, Nearby our fenced in yard disappeared into the forest that was all ours until the back side of the fence. Within the forest was a large shed that held a small collection of fishing supplies much to Happy's delight. We immediately had Virgo move the shed to the front of the property by the house and had her create a small pond with some fish for us to go fishing in. Now the actual house itself was amazing, a homely light blue cabin with 2 stories sat at the head of the property. Within the large house was a massive kitchen that I had furnished with all new Oak cabinets and tables, the walls were a lovely cream color, I even had two refrigerators, one for Happys' fish and the other for my groceries. At the rear of the kitchen sat a huge walk in pantry I had filled with canned goods and non-perishables, looking around the kitchen I noticed that the counters were made of a beautiful white marble that matched the mottled white and blue curtains that hung over the medium sized bay window that over looked our front yard. Moving into the living room I saw the quaint blue walls adorned by pictures and paintings I had collected over the years. My plush white sofa and chairs had been moved in by my spirits I will have to thank them for that later, then up on the wall sat a large Lacrima screen TV and attached to it a note that read:

"Dear Miss Lucy,

We are so thankful to have such a wonderful master, and friend so in addition to moving in your furniture around the house you will find several gifts of thanks from us, just so you know there will be a gift tag for each one letting you know who it is from. The Lacrima TV is from Crux, and the next present you will find on the wall behind you it is from Aries and Gemini.

Thank you so much for your kindness,

Your Spirits''

I felt a tear roll down my cheek at my families kindness, I would have to call them all out later to thank them. Remembering that they said there was a present on the wall behind me I turned around and saw a massive wall of books only interrupted by a large set of French doors leading out onto the patio, on the railing was a note from Gemini and Aries just as promised. It read:

"Princess,

Gemini wanted to thank you too so together we created an outdoor area only you and those whom you wish to be able to see it can view. Gemi and Mini transformed into Mr. Freed and put up runes around the patio so that the weather could not get in, they also put runes on it so that it was invisible to those whom were not told of it's existence. To anyone else it would appear as a large shed that was locked on the outside and the door on the inside would be seen as a part of the book shelf. My own personal touches were the chairs and furniture made of my softest wools in whites and blues as I called out a personal friend from the spirit world to help me dye them to colors that would match the house. You will find your next present in the bathroom, it is from Aquarius and Lyra.

Thank you for saving us from the evil witch Angel,

Aries and Gemini"

Looking around I saw the soft looking patio chairs and benches making a mental note to tell Happy about it seeing as there was 2 two soft looking pet beds. the only thing that was very confusing was one was much larger than the other... My spirits must be up to something... Oh well I suppose I will find out later. Moving on to the smaller bathroom downstairs I looked around eagerly to find the note, aha! There it is! I found it pinned to the light green walls next to the small shower.

"Dear Lu-Lu,

Did Aries say the downstairs bathroom woops! She was supposed to say the upstairs master bathroom haha sorry...

Aquarius"

I laughed at my spirits and their silliness, half running half jogging up the stairs I ran through the master bedroom and burst into the master bathroom. Upon entering I saw part of my present already the girls had replaced my small walk in shower with a huge Jacuzzi tub and had lined the sides with my favorite body washes and hair care products, the real surprise was the magic replenishing bubble bath sitting on the side of the tub. Nearby on the mirror was a note that had a small package hanging from it.

"Dear Lu-Lu,

I know we haven't been very close since Mistress Layla died... but Lyra and I worked very hard to install this new tub and find all your favorite soaps and such. But the hardest present to find was the key in closed below this note. I hope that you will like it!

Love you so much! I hope we can be close again,

Aquee"

Feeling more tears drip down my cheeks I wiped them and opened up the package to see what key it was. Gasping when I saw the key, it was made of a beautiful purple stone, I think it may have been fluorite. I had no Idea what key it was but a mental message from Loke told me I needed to summon it outside later after I had received all my presents. Moving back out into the master bedroom I instantly spotted my next present, a large mosaic of a lion. Gee I wonder who this could be from...

Moving forward I spotted a note on my night table that told me I was correct and was nothing but pure flirting from the perverted lion. My next destination was the walk-in closet that was organized for me by Virgo and a beautiful white flowing dress that would end at mid thigh in the front and flow down to the ground in the back sat in the fore front of all my clothing, suddenly I realized that it was my mothers dress. Silently thanking Virgo and Capricorn for this incredible gift I ran downstairs to go summon my new key and looked around the kitchen feeling something was amiss... Staring out the Kitchen window I saw a sight that startled me, Happy was playing with a large dog that looked to be a type of exceed judging by the wings jutting out of his back.

Bolting outside I saw the duo up close and they seemed close.

"Happy who is this?" I questioned making both exceeds jump in surprise.

"I believe I can answer that Miss Lucy, I am Arthur, a canine Exceed from the Spirit World sent to be your companion alongside this adorable fur ball by the Spirit King and Taurus." The do- Arthur calmly passed onto me.

Upon hearing this I promptly passed out.

AN: Please let me know how I did I will be updating this again probably tomorrow.
