A/N: I rewrote Chapter 2, so enjoy the rewrite!
Normal POV
"Master and Carla is here with Laxus!" Wendy says, running to Lucy's front door.
"Wendy. What's wrong with Lucy?!" Master shouts.
"Master. Calm down." Wendy says. "Laxus, Carla, Master. Come in and BE QUIET!" Wendy says, the visable threat enough to send even the Master into silence.
"I'm only repeating this one last time because I had to talk to Evergreen, Bixlow and Freed. Lucy went through seals breaking in the guild today, causing her to faint. I have no clue how many seals were placed on her as a child, but she lost Team Nastu. Last night, Natsu came into her apartment, not realizing I was in her bathroom because I was spending the night, and he kicked her off Team Natsu. She needs people behind her. More than just me and Mira. I need the Rajinshuu and Laxus to go with Lucy for her training to become the Queen of the Stars." Wendy pauses to look at the people listening to her with wide eyes as she takes a deep breath. "Grandine told me that there would be a point in time where I will become essentially the bodyguard of the Queen of the Stars, but for the Queen, or Lucy, to gain her title and powers, she needs to go through trauma. The trauma that Lucy-san had to go through was being betrayed by the people she had trusted the most. Team Natsu. More specifically, Natsu. I don't think he realized she was to become his Queen." Wendy scoffs. "Will you please support Lucy-san? I'm begging you." Wendy says, gently running her nimble fingers through Lucy's hair, untangling the knots.
"What are you saying, child?" Master asks. A bright light suddenly envelopes Lucy's room, blinding the people.
"Are these the people you chose, Wendy dear?" A feminine voice asks.
"Grandine." Wendy breathes. "Igneel. Metalicana." She adds. Wendy cries and launches herself at Grandine. "I've missed you!" Wendy cries.
"Wendy. Are these the group you chose? Have they accepted?" Grandine asks.
"No they haven't I was just finishing up with explaining what was going on." Wendy says, moving to sit next to Lucy on the bed. Grandine sighs.
"Did you explain about her mother?" A man with firey red hair asks.
"Igneel!" Grandine exclaims.
"Sorry." He mutters.
"What about Cosplayer's mother?" Bixlow asks curiously.
"The reason Lucy-san's mother died was to place the seals to limit Lucy-san's powers. Her powers have only been at 0.5% all this time. Placing all those seals was too much for Layla-sama." Grandine says slowly.
"0.5%?!" Master, the Rajinshuu and Laxus scream.
"I told you there would be screaming." Wendy says 10 minutes later.
"How can she be that powerful and not know?!" Laxus asks.
"She never realized that her mother placed seals on her before her death. Her mother had it so the seals would release 15 years from her death, and today was the day for the first seal that was placed. She has seals that will be releasing for the next three weeks. Which means she will be fainting a lot. But we will need to get her to the Dragon Realm before she acciddentally suffocates everyone in Magnolia." Metalicana states. "And bring Gajeel here. I have some things I didn't get to teach him."
"Natsu's going to have to deal without the extra training. He doesn't deserve it." Igneel grunts. Metalicana and Grandine nod with agreement. Lucy groans and stirs slightly.
"Looks like she's waking up." Igneel mutters.
"How did she sleep through the noise?" Evergreen asks. Freed and Bixlow shrug while Igneel, Metalicana and Grandine sweatdrop.
"Aunty! Uncles!" Lucy screams and tackles the three dragons.
"Lucy?" Master asks timidly.
"Oh, hi Master. Why did you knock?" Lucy asks, tilting her head. Grandine sweatdrops. "Wait, why am I even in my apartment? I was just in the guild..."
"That was two hours ago." Wendy deadpans.
"Really?!" Lucy exclaims. "Wait, why is the Rajinshuu in my apartment? They never talk to me. They only laugh at me, like when I slipped two hours ago..."
"Well..." Wendy begins.
"And why is Bixlow unconsious?" (A/N: I'm not saying Bixlow is the weakest, but I think that he's the weakest one of the Rajinshuu. Sorry Bixlow fans... Don't kill me.) Lucy interrupts Wendy. "And why are you three here?"
"Lucy!" Grandine shouts. "Enough questions." She says sternly. Lucy nods and pouts.
"Sit." Igneel orders.
"Uncle Iggy!" Lucy pouts, but does as he says.
"Good girl." Igneel coos, causing Lucy to pout even more. Laxus chuckles.
"So. Bixlow is unconcious because the seals that were placed on you are break and your magic power simply overpowered him." Grandine explains.
"Huh?" Lucy asks, a dumbfounded expression on her face. Igneel and Metalicana chuckle as Grandine falls backwards anime style.
"Your magical energy was so big that it overpowered Bixlow to the point that he lost conciousness." Metalicana spells out.
"Uncle Cana!" Lucy pouts. "You didn't have to dumb it down that much." She adds. Master starts laughing.
"Uncle Cana?!" He chokes out, causing Metalicana to flush in embarrasment.
"Stupid girl." Metalicana mutters, sitting in the emo corner, depressed lines tracing over his flushed face.
"Uncle Cana! Smile!" Lucy says, oblivious to what just occurred. "I'll go get Gajeel." She adds, apparently hoping to make her uncle smile. He cracks a small smile.
"Fine." Metalicana sighs. Lucy cheers and runs out of her apartment to get Gajeel and Pantherlily, only to have him smash into the rune walls when she runs back in.
"Freed. Let him enter." Master sighs.
"Her seals all broke off at once?" Grandine asks, sitting on her bed. "Strange. Well. We need to get to the Dragon Realm. We will make sure the mages make it back as soon as possible." Grandine says, opening a portal. Master nods and steps out.
"Lucy.. I will take care of paying for your rent until you return. The same goes for everyone else present." He says before leaving the apartment.
"Do we need to get our things?" Evergreen asks.
"No. We will have things in the Dragon Realm for us. All we need is ourselves." Lucy explains with a grin. "And Evergreen. Do you want to be a true Fairy?" She asks with a mischievious grin playing on her lips.
"Why..." Evergreen asks. Metalicana, Igneel, and Grandine grin with approval.
"You'll see." Lucy sings as she skips through the portal, still dragging Gajeel behind her. Metalicana chuckles, watching his "son" being manhandled by the Queen of the Stars. The Rajinshuu follow Lucy and the unconcious Gajeel. Wendy, holding Carla and Pantherlily, and Laxus follow the Rajinshuu and talking to Grandine. Igneel and Metalicana follow behind, closing the portal swiftly.
"Welcome to the Mystic Realm. Home to the Dragons, Gods, Fairys, and any other mythical being." Lucy says with a bow. "Hi mommy!" Lucy exclaims, waving to a golden dragon. "That's Celestia. The Celestia dragon. Hi Skiadrum, Wessie (Sting's dragon. I forgot his full name). Hi Terra! Hihi minna!" Lucy calls as dragon after dragon, fairy after fairy, god after god, mythical being after mythical being line up in front of her.
"I'm home!" She shouts, causing the inhabitants of this alternate universe to cheer.
"I take it Wendy, Grandie, Iggy, and Cana explained it all to you?" Lucy asks.
"I told you to call me Met!" Metalicana growls. "Gajeel's still knocked out? What'd you do to him, Lucy?" Metalicana asks.
"I told him something he thought only he knew." Lucy explains with a sheepish grin. "I think I shocked him too. I don't think electricity works well with him." Lucy adds shyly.
"Why would you do that?!" Igneel exclaims.
"He wouldn't come with me?" Lucy phrases her answer as a question, causing Igneel to smack his palm to his forehead.
"Why?" Igneel mutters.
"She's going to be as bad as Na...as bad as Sting with the fighting." Wessie states. Igneel groans.
"Hi Wessie!" Lucy exclaims, running up to the pure white dragon with a grin.
"Time for training." Grandine shouts.
"But Grandine! We just got here!" Lucy says, pouting. Wendy nods in agreement.
"You need to train!" Grandine insists.
"We need to bond!" Lucy says, tears forming in her eyes. "Otherwise we won't be able to trust the others." Lucy adds.
"Fine. I guess we can start training in.." Grandine says only to be cut off by Celestia.
"Next week. Give them time to get to know the Mystic Realm Grandine." Celestia says in a tender voice.
"Fine." Grandine sighs.
"Yay!" Wendy and Lucy shout.
"Where is the castle?" Lucy suddenly asks.
"Want me to bring you?" Celestia asks. Lucy and her company nod.
"Celestia? What was momma's ties to you?" Lucy asks suddenly, pausing in her scrambling to get on Celestia's back.
"Child. Let's go to the castle, then we will talk. Is that okay?" Celestia replies softly.
"Okay." Lucy chirps as she sits on Celestia's back, watching as the others scramble up after her.
"All set?" Celestia asks.
"Yes Celestia." Lucy says, smiling at her companions.
"Off we go then." Celestia exclaims as she begins to beat her wings. Celestia lifts off the ground, chuckling as Wendy and Lucy scream in excitement. Celestia flies to the north for about 20 minutes before telling Lucy to look. Lucy gasps as she sees a small castle getting larger every second. About another 10 minutes later, Celestia descends and lands in front of the castle.
"Wow." Wendy breaths.
"..." Everyone remains speechless except Lucy who is squealling and yelling that she's home.
"Now, now, Lucy. Come on. Let's give them the tour." Celestia chuckles.
"Fine." Lucy grins before grabbing Freed and Wendy and starts pulling them. "Come on guys!" Lucy shouts.
"Lucy-san. You don't have to pull us." Freed states.
"Lucy-san, please let us walk on our own." Wendy asks politely, chuckling at Lucy's reactions.
"Fine." Lucy pouts. "Well. This is our foyer (Is this spelt right?) Over there...You still have the portrait of me and momma up!?" Lucy yells, running to a rather large portrait hanging over the fireplace.
"This is your mother?" Laxus asks. "She looks just like you." He adds as an afterthought.
"She was much more refined. More elegant than me." Lucy mutters, blushing. Laxus grins at Lucy.
"So, Lucy-chan." Celestia says, smiling sweetly at the female. "How is my favorite neice?" She asks. Lucy looks at Celestia and starts crying.
"The person she trusted most betrayed her, which allowed the seals to break. Just as Layla-sama predicted." Grandine informs. Lucy launches herself at Celestia and places her head in the crook of Celestia's neck.
"Lucy-san, it'll be okay. Aunt Celestia is here for you." Celestia coos.
"Things will work out. I promise. You will have better friends. Trust me." Grandine adds, patting Lucy's back.
"Okay. ~sniff~ But will ~sniff~ my friends ~sniff~ be nice?" Lucy asks.
"Of course we will. Shrimp hasn't abandoned you either." Gajeel says.
"Gajeel?" Lucy asks, tilting her head slightly, as if observing the Iron Dragon Slayer.
"What?" Gajeel snaps, causing Lucy to giggle.
"I was wondering if you were okay? You're almost never nice to me." Lucy says, drying her tears.
"Well, he's right about one thing, Lucy. You have the Rajinshuu in your corner." Laxus grunts. Freed, Bixlow and Evergreen nod slightly.
"You guys mean it?" Lucy asks skeptically.
"We wouldn't lie to you, Lucy-san. That's why I chose them to come here. I know they wouldn't abandon you like some idiots." Wendy says, frowning at the thought of Natsu.
"Thanks, minna." Lucy says, smiling at her friends.
"Wendy, Evergreen. Let's go to my room. I want to show you girls something! Celestia, can you show the boys to their room?" Lucy chirps, her puffy red eyes filling with hope.
"Of course, Lucy-chan." Celestia says with a smile. Lucy grabs Wendy and Evergreen's hands and starts leading them off to an unknown room, without running. Carla follows, sitting on Wendy's head.
"Where are they going?" Laxus asks.
"No where that is your concern. She's doing something that her mother and I taught her when she was little." Celestia replies. "Now follow me to your room." She says turning around and swiftly walking in the opposite direction.
~Where the girls are~
"Lucy-san. Where are we going?" Wendy asks.
"My bedroom." Lucy replies, skipping happily. "It's something that's kind of a tradition in my family." Lucy says softly.
Five minutes later, Wendy and Evergreen stand behind in the doorway, staring in shock at the room before them.
"This is your bedroom?!" Evergreen shreiks.
"Yup yup." Lucy chirps. "Come on in!" She adds, lightly yanking on their hands.
"This is my closet. Come on! I don't remember what I have for clothes." Lucy says, leading them to a rather large door. "If you see anything you want, just let me know. There's a good chance that I have no sentimental value to it, and I'll let you have it. But if it's something from my mom, no it's not going. You'll have to pry it out of my dead hands." Lucy explains with a grin.
Evergreen smiles as she runs to the clothing.
"How did you get so many clothes?" Evergreen and Wendy chorus.
"Most of them were my moms or my grandmothers. They passed them down to me. The ball gowns, I'm only going to give you one of mine. Not one of the ones that were passed down. I wonder if Igneel and Metalicana gave the boys their tuxes." Lucy mutters the last line.
"Why? Is there a formal event?" Wendy asks.
"You'll see." Lucy replies with a sly grin. Wendy goes through the gowns and discovers a deep blue halter top ball gown.
"Lucy-san. I found one." Wendy says timidly.
"Wendy, that is absolutely you. Try it on." Lucy says, gently pushing Wendy towards some changing rooms. "Find anything, Evergreen?" Lucy asks.
"What about this one?" Evergreen asks, showing a deep emerald green tube top gown.
"That is a no. Sorry it was my great-grandmothers." Lucy says. "What about..." Lucy pauses, searching for a specific gown. "This one!" Lucy exclaims, showing Evergreen a black and silver spaghetti strap dress. Evergreen squeals and grabs the dress. She runs to the changing rooms as Wendy steps out.
"Lucy-san. How does this look?" Wendy asks timidly.
"Oh that is just too adorable!" Lucy squeals, running up to Wendy and capturing her in a hug.
"Really, Lucy-san?" Wendy asks with a hopeful expression lighting up her face.
"Mhm!" Lucy says, nodding enthusiastically.
"Can I help you find your dress, Lucy-san?" Wendy asks nervously.
"Sure." Lucy agrees with a smile. Wendy looks around, before settling on a scarlet red dress.
"Lucy-san. What about this one?" Wendy asks, bringing it to Lucy.
"Perfect. This is one of the oldest dresses I own. It was my great-great-great-great-great-grandmother's dress." Lucy says, lifting the dress up gently. Lucy walks to the changing rooms and pulls on the dress.
"Lucy, do you need help?" Evergreen asks.
"Kinda. I can't zip up the back. Can you give me a hand?" Lucy shouts. The door clicks and Evergreen enters wearing the black and silver knee-length dress. Evergreen gently zips up the dress, smiling as she clips the bow on the top of the zipper that ends in the middle of her back.
"Trying to impress someone?" Evergreen giggles. Lucy flushes bright red.
"Wendy picked it out." Lucy mumbles to Evergreen as she adjusts the top of the sweetheart neckline. She looks at the bottom of the dress, smiling as she plays with the edge of the fabric that reaches her knees.
"Well, you look great." Evergreen whispers. Lucy grins and tugs on Evergreen's hand.
"Let's go get our shoes and hair and makeup done!" Lucy exclaims. Lucy sits down as she pulls on the 5 inch heels. She ties the white satin rope up her leg to her thigh, ending it in a bow. "What do you think, Evergreen?" Lucy asks, spinning around and posing. Evergreen whistles.
"I'll be surprised if Laxus, Freed, Bixlow, or Gajeel don't make a move on you." Evergreen states, causing Lucy to turn bright red. Wendy looks at Evergreen curiously before turning pink.
"Evergreen!" Wendy exclaims. "Lucy-san has to focus on her training!" Wendy adds, scolding the elder mage. Evergreen pouts.
"I can't have some fun?" Evergreen asks.
"Exactly." Wendy says, smiling at Lucy. "But you do look pretty, Lucy-san." Wendy says.
"Here, try these on, Wendy, Evergreen." Lucy says, tossing a pair of sapphire blue flats to Wendy and a pair of silver heels, identical to hers. Wendy and Evergreen comply and put on the shoes.
"Grandine! How's the decorations? Will we be able to have the party tonight?" Lucy asks, looking at the female that just entered Lucy's room.
"Yes, we will." Grandine says. "It was difficult to get those males in tuxes, but Igneel and Metalicana managed it." Evergreen, Wendy and Lucy chuckle.
"I can just imagine." Evergreen says.
"Grandine. Can you do my hair? Like how momma's was for her corination?" Lucy asks. Grandine looks at Lucy with a soft smile.
"I'll make it even better."
~~Timeskip: After all the hair and make up is done: Lucy's POV~~
"Lucy-san." Wendy gasps. "You look..." She trails off.
"Is it that bad?" I ask, suddenly worried.
"It's amazing." Evergreen breaths. I smile softly.
"It's how my momma had her hair done."
"You sure do look like her, Lucy-sama." Grandine states. "We all miss her."
"I miss her too, Grandine. I miss her too." I sigh softly.
"Let's go party!" Wendy yells, obviously trying to make me laugh. I smile. We walk to the ball room in a comfortable silence.
"Yeah. Let's go see what the damage is. I wonder how Igneel and Metalicana got those guys to wear the suits?" I ask out loud.
"It was torture." A gruff voice says. I turn around and nearly fall backwards laughing. There is Laxus and Gajeel pouting while Freed and Bixlow grimace.
"What did they do?" Evergreen asks.
"They threatened us." Freed murmers.
"How did they do that?" Wendy asks.
"Well, they..."
Gihi Cliffhanger. I hope everyone likes the rewrite. :) Enjoy! Look for the update!
