Previously:
Lucy showed the guild that she is a wolf-slayer when Natsu, being the dumb-ass he is, ate her food, even though she clearly warned him.
Evergreen: Kick his ass, Lucy-chan!
Mira: Huh?
Me: ~giggles~ Go Lu-chan!
Mira: What's going on?
Lisanna: Go get 'em Luce! ~cheers~ Enjoy the next chapter!
Normal POV
The guild stares at the wolf in surprise. They obviously weren't expecting the wolf to speak, let alone speak in the high soprano voice that belonged to their one and only Lucy Heartifia.
"Natsu." The wolf says, more like growls. "You have a shit load of explain to the guild you dumb ass FLAMEBRAIN!" The wolf roars.
"Lu-Lucy?" Natsu chokes out.
"Yes, Salamander?" The wolf spits out, spitting at Natsu's feet, surprising Natsu when the spit actually melted the wood.
"Acid?" Natsu asks, an eyebrow arched as he looks at the wolf. The wolf grins suddenly.
"There is more to me than meets the eye." The wolf says as a bright red light envelops her body as she transformed into her half-wolf form. She twitches her ears as her tail sways back and forth.
"Yeah right." Natsu snorts.
"Nya." Lucy pouts, before covering her lips, surprised at the sound that escaped her lips. Lucy runs and hides behind Evergreen.
"What is it Lucy?" Evergreen asks the terrified female.
"Can I call you my nee-san?" The girl asks, looking up at Evergreen with pouting lips and tears starting to line her golden eyes.
"Kawaii!" Evergreen coos, giving Lucy a hug. "You are my little sister!" Evergreen agrees, causing Lucy to jump up and do a front flip, all with a grin on her face. Lucy lands, one knee perpendicular to the ground and the other supporting her arm that is supporting her upper body.
"Nee-san?" Lucy asks.
"Yes?" Evergreen asks, looking at her suddenly shy "adopted" sister.
"Can we go shopping?" Lucy whispers. "I'm kind of sick of these clothes and I want you to help me Nee-san." She adds. Evergreen looks at her and nods.
"We can have girl talk to." Evergreen says with a grin. Lucy nods, happy that she has a sister that she can talk to about these little things. "When do you want to go?" Evergreen asks Lucy.
"Whenever you want, Nee-san." Lucy replies, slupring up her vanilla milkshake.
"Aren't you full, Cosplayer Queen?" Bixlow asks, leaning across the table to try to get a good look at the new female sitting with them.
"Never." Lucy replies, although it sounds like "Nevuf." Bixlow looks at her with a confused expression, until finally realizing that she had spoken with her mouth full. Her cheeks flush a bright red. Lucy gulps, swallowing the food. "Sorry. No, I'm never full. I guess that's what I get for being a Wolf Slayer, Dragon Slayer, and God Slayer. As well as a Celestial Spirit mage." Lucy admits sheepishly, rubbing the back of her neck nervously.
"EEEH?!" The Rajinshuu, minus Evergreen and Laxus who already know, Gajeel, Natsu, and Wendy yell in harmony. Lucy nods sheepishly again.
"Prove it!" Natsu yells. "Fight me!" Lucy grins sadisticly.
"Tomorrow. You will get what you deserve tomorrow. For not, why don't you go sit with your team." Lucy says, standing up. "Nee-san. Can we go shopping now. I don't want to be here." Lucy says with a bored tone. Evergreen nods and pulls Lucy out of the guild.
"So, Lucy-chan." Evergreen begins as they step into a gothic store.
"Hm?" Lucy hums to let her adopted sister know she is listening.
"Is there anyone in the guild you like?" Evergreen asks, a nonchalant look on her face as she searched Lucy's face for any evidence. Lucy giggles and a slight blush flushes her cheeks.
"Maybe." She whispers. "I don't know. I'm not good in that department." She adds with a laugh. Lucy pulls Evergreen over to the skirts and they start browsing the department racks (A/N: No the breast racks either. The shelves...some people can be perverts.) Lucy grabs some fishnet leggings, and skirts in dark red, midnight blue, black, and dark purple.
"Lucy-chan. What about this?" Evergreen asks, holding up a ripped pair of jeans with a chain belt.
"Kawaii!" Lucy squeals.
"I figured you'd like it." Evergreen smiles at her adopted sister.
"Ne, Evergreen. Can I ask you a couple questions?" Lucy asks suddenly, looking up from the clothing rack that holds the shirts.
"What is it, Lucy-chan?" Evergreen asks. "And you can call me Ever-nee, if you want." She adds with a kind smile.
"For one, can I sleep over at your place, Ever-nee? I don't want to deal with Team Natsu if they decide to break into my house." Lucy says.
"Sure. That's not a problem! Any other questions?" Evergreen asks.
"Yeah. Why'd you try to talk to me? I mean, I'm glad someone else did. Don't get me wrong. But I just want to know...Why?" Lucy says hesitantly.
"Well. I know how it feels to be alone. I know how it feels to be betrayed. The Rajinshuu has helped me in so many ways, and I guess I felt a kinda kinship with you. I can't really explain it, but I guess seeing you like that brought me down. You are such a bright girl. You are strong, loyal, sweet. "Stubborn". You fight for your friends and you stand up for what you believe in. Seeing you broken like that. It didn't sit right with me. It doesn't fit who you are. You deserve the best, and obviously, Team Natsu wasn't the best for you. If they could willingly throw you aside like that, they didn't care about you. I don't know what you dealt with growing up, nor will I push it so I do know. I guess what I'm saying is, I want to help keep that smile on your face. It suits you. You are such a strong, beautiful girl, and you shouldn't have people like Team Natsu bringing you down." Evergreen says, stressing the word "stubborn". Lucy looks at Evergreen with a small smile playing on her lips.
"Arigatou, Ever-nee." Lucy says.
"Any time, Lucy-chan." Evergreen says, smiling back before turning back to the tops. "So, why did you show your wolf slaying before you were ready?" She asks, sifting through the different tops, putting ones she thought would fit Lucy over her arm.
"Natsu pissed me off. He wouldn't listen when I told him to back off. Honestly, if you didn't pull me out of the guild when you did, I would've said forget fighting him tomorrow and I would've maybe ended up...killing him?" She says sheepishly. Evergreen chuckles.
"He tends to invoke that reaction, doesn't he?" Evergreen muses.
"Hai!" Lucy agrees enthusiastically.
"Go try these on." Evergreen says, thrusting the clothes at Lucy. Evergreen perches on a couch and waits while Lucy tries on her new clothes.
"They all fit great, Ever-nee!" Lucy exclaims.
"That's good, Lucy-chan. Now, who is this boy that has you confused about what you are feeling?" Evergreen asks with a grin lighting up her face.
"Etto...It...um..." Lucy blushes. "Freed-san." Lucy whispers.
"Eh?! Freed?" Evergreen exclaims.
