Hello everyone!

A bit late on upload due to this reason [WARNING: A RANTING INCOMING]:

I got annoyed. I type this chapter for a few hours even though I'm sleepy. I saved it before going to sleep but when I opened it again. It was gone! Replaced with a jumble of letters. Either I accidentally hit my keyboard and saved it or someone just replaced it. NOT TO MENTION, at that time Fanfiction, for some reason, kept on being error 503 that was why I wasn't able to upload it sooner. Argh! I spent hours typing this chapter but when I came back to it, somehow it was gone! If it wasn't for the error I would've have uploaded it without problem sooner.

I don't want to repeat typing but I guess I still did it. Hooray for me. Enjoy!

Fourth Wish:
Catching Stars

Lucy had landed on the ground creating a huge crater.

"Itai itai . . . That kinda hurt. . . Hm? Where did I landed?"

She had landed quite horribly. She didn't expect that she would have a hard time controlling her spirit energy here. Her head hurts.

It wasn't her fault that she landed badly. She was in hurry and panicking because she was being chased.

It was when she was preparing to leave.

She changed her clothing similar to Libra's: A sleeveless scarlet top with gold embroidery that shows her midriff, a matching long skirt with slits on both sides. She tied her hair on twin tails. She wore brown sandals. The golden bracelets were on her arms and ankles. A silk of transparent white cloth drape at her arms. The ends of which were tied by a golden bid with purple runes.

She was at the Fountain of Youth, the place where she made a deal with Loki. She looked at the water globe with orbs of light encircling it.

"I can't believe it was this simple!" she found musing at herself.

Upon saying those familiar words, her mind throbbed.

"I can't believe it was this simple!" her child-version said, amazed.

Loki chuckled. "Right? The other gods don't actually know about this. I actually just got this information from Ceres while doing her a little *favour* (Don't ask what). She said that if I want to sneak out without being noticed by the Guardian, I could go through the fountain gate. The water of life flows from here and into the other worlds."

"So we are going to ride the flow of life that flows throughout all the realms! We can get to any worlds with this!" she understood immediately.

He grinned mischievously. "Well yes, there's a catch though. But first. . ." he narrowed his eyes at her.

"What?"

"You remember to keep the promise of removing your memory about this?"

"Do I really have to?" she smiled innocently.

"Lucy!"

"Alright, alright! I'll have the memory of this conversation removed when we get back." she pouted. She smirked inside though. She had guessed this situation, so she was able to make countermeasures.

Loki sighed. "Good. It's quite dangerous if you sneak out alone. We can't have you do that."

"Although I want to, I'm still inexperienced so I have no choice but to rely on you. So what's the catch you were saying?" she asked him.

He looked at her carefully. She kept a straight face.

"Alright. I'll tell you. You can ask the spirit of life to take you to your desired world. However, the process will take a bit of your spirit energy. Since the current of the spirit flow is quite strong, you'll find yourself unstable if you're not prepared. Also, you'll have a hard time controlling your spirit energy once you are on the other side. Since your power is foreign and powerful, it'll be hard to synchronize with the other world's flow. Also, this is your first time."

"Then what should I do when I needed to use magic? In case of emergency, I mean" she tilted her head.

He held out the golden necklace as the answer.

"This will be your regulator. Usually, we use the summoner as a regulator to help us control our power in their realm. They served as bridge that connects us to their worlds." He put the necklace on her.

"I see . . . then the seals you put on here will serve as the breaks for my power?" she looked at the clear crystal surrounded by runes.

"Yes, you can draw out your power from here. Don't lose it, okay?"

Lucy clutched her head.

"Was that . . . a memory . . . just now?" she was surprised at the sudden recalling. 'That necklace . . . I wonder where it was?'

"LUCY!"

Her eyes widened and she looked at her back. Sure enough, it was Loki. He was soaring to her with his golden lion.

She immediately ran to the center of the fountain.

"I only had suspicion but to think you will really use this method! You promised to forget!"

She stuck her tongue out to him. "I did! But I remembered!"

"Why do you have to be so stubborn?"

"Because I have to" she answered him seriously.

She stopped on her tracks now that she reached the center.

"O spirits that bring life, let me ride along with you to your journey to the other realms. Let me see once more the world I had once seen" she spread her arms out. The water globe spun and glowed. The orbs shined brighter and moved towards the center as if being absorbed.

"Don't make me use force!"

"You can't stop me!"

The sphere glowed gold then white. It became a portal. She could see the flow of spirits inside travelling to other worlds.

Loki urged his lion to dive at her.

She jumped into the portal.

She heard him scream at her but she didn't pay him anymore mind. Just the noise of hundreds of souls riding the wave was more than enough to fill her ears. Everything was spinning. It felt like she was being sucked in a tube with hundreds of different colors. She saw images after images. She understood that those were different worlds. There were as many as stars in heaven.

"Lucy! Come back!"

She looked back and found Loki who was chasing after her.

Uh oh. . .

She hurried her pace and tried to project herself forward. That was when she realized.

"My energy . . ."

It was being sucked away from her. The current of souls and spirits were seeping at her energy. She already found it hard to moderate the power consumption. Her hands were full, she can't fight back.

Meanwhile, Loki had it easier to navigate in this hundreds of souls and spirits. His ring was helping him keep intact.

"Souls and spirits . . ." she whispered. Upon that, an idea came to her mind. She was not sure if it would work though. Still, that was her best course of action. She turned and faced Loki.

"O Spirits of Life and Lost souls! I request upon thee to help me. Halt this man, and let me safely get to my destination!"

Upon her call, the spirits moved and took form to block his path. He stopped in his track.

"Woah, it really worked?" she was amazed at their kindness. "Thank you! Also don't let anyone else know where I went, ple – iiiyyyyyaaaaaahhh!"

She screamed when she felt being pulled out. Imagine it being caught in the middle of a tornado and then it forced you to plunge through a body of water and out again just to find yourself on a hundred thousand feet sky dive.

"KKKYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

She screamed as she flew in the night sky. She was moving at such a fast speed she found it hard to move. She tried to make a force field to oppose her speed but somehow – for some reason – she ended up only changing her trajectory.

She found herself crashing on a field of green.

Luckily for her, she managed to land on her feet first. Unfortunately for her, she didn't anticipated the amount of force on her landing. She fell forward and hit her face first. Badly.

She pushed herself up. Her forehead and nose felt painful. She rubbed her head.

"Itai itai . . . That kinda hurt. . . Hm? Where did I landed?"

She looked around, trying to familiarized herself on the unknown land. She realized she was at the middle of a concave of earth. Earth has a strange land formation. She looked up. She saw that there were lots of trees at the flat surface. And . . .

There was a human lad carrying a blue cat. Both eyes were as wide as saucer plates. They were staring at her with mouth wide open, gaping like fishes.

She sweated as she stared at them.

A long silence stretched between them.

'Okay, maybe this guy won't bring trouble?' she thought, finally calming down. She shouldn't stay here for so long.

"AH! That's right! I'm being chased. I need to go!" she stood up upon remembering the mischievous celestial that was after her. She turned to leave.

Unfortunately, that woke up the boy from his stupor.

"F-F-FAIRY!" both he and his cat yelled and pointed at her.

"What?" she turned her head at them, surprised at the sudden outburst.

"Quick! She's escaping!" the cat yelled. The boy lunged at her before she could react or anything.

"Kyaa! What are you doing!?" she screamed at them.

"Hehe. We caught you, fairy!" the boy grinned evilly at her.

"Aye! We won't let you escape, fairy!" the cat told her.

"What are you talking about!? Let me go! I need to leave this place immediately!" she struggled underneath the boy.

She was lying flat on the ground. He was sitting on her back, pinning her.

'Okay. This boy is trouble!' she retracted her earlier thought.

"You'll run away so we can't, Fairy! You'll have to grant our wishes first!" the blue cat in front of her crossed his arms stubbornly.

Lucy had no idea what they were talking about. Why were they calling her "Fairy"? What wishes?

"I don't understand what you're talking about! I need to get out of here! Let me go!" she tried to pull herself out.

"You think we'll fall for your lie, fairy? Begging won't save you now!" the boy cackled at her.

She glared at him.

This guy . . . just called her a liar!

She was a Celestial being! For heaven's sake, celestials governed the forces of nature and spirit, the source of life! They maintain order in the world. They were the enforcer of law. They always abide by their words. That's their essence. To question their word was one of the greatest insult you could do to them! It was just stupid.

"And who are you to call me a liar? I am -" she stopped herself. She remembered what Loki said about hiding your identity.

"A fairy, right? You should just grant our wish" he leaned his head closer, grinning.

"I want tons of fish!" said the cat.

"I don't grant wishes! I have to go now. Just let me go!" she screamed at them, struggling. She was infuriated. Why would she help this rude people?

"Not until you grant our wishes" he told her.

She glared at this insolent man. 'I could just blast you off with my power!' she thought. But she stopped herself. She knew she couldn't do that. She can feel her powers and the surrounding area becoming unstable. If she tried using her powers here, she could kill him.

She really need to go now and lay low for a while.

"Grrr. I will excuse your insolence if you let me go" she told them between gritted teeth.

"No way!" both of them said and shook their head.

She sighed. She didn't have much choice, given the time. "Fine, I'll listen to what you have to say. But first, let me get out of here. I need to hide" she conceded.

"Promise you won't run away?" the boy with pink hair asked.

"I already said I'll listen to your request! I gave you my word. That's more than enough reassurance" she told them seriously.

The boy and the cat looked at each other.

Loki cursed.

He had arrived at the place with the greatest disturbance of spirit. He was floating at the treetops, staring at the huge crater at the middle of the clearing of trees.

He could feel her spirit energy in this area but it was gone when he tried tracking it. She was definitely cloaked. It would be hard to find her this way.

Worst of all, he could scent a human on this place. Someone had seen her landing in the human world. This was bad. If she fell on wrong hands . . .

He punched a nearby tree. It collapsed at his force.

"I need to find her immediately!"

He just hoped that no one else had known of her arrival.

On the castle that same night

"Sis! Look! Have you seen it yet!?" the door bursted open.

A lady with long wavy hair looked up at the source of the voice. She was just preparing to get to bed. Her sister looked at her with bright shining eyes of the same color as her blue ones.

"Lisanna, I told you to knock before entering a room" she kindly scolded.

"But you got to look at the sky!" she took her hand and pulled her to the balcony of their castle.

"What is this about?" she smiled at her sister as she walked along with her.

"I believe princess Lisanna was referring to the comet, princess Mirajane" a woman the same age as her said. She had long red hair tied in a ponytail. She was wearing an armor, her sword buckled safely at her left. She was leaning on the wall, staring at the sky seen at the balcony.

"See? Isn't it beautiful?" Lisanna beamed. She was already in her nightgown. The color which suited her short white hair.

Mirajane stared at the dark sky. A big white star streaked across the sky. It's trail left sparkles of snow that rain down gently on them.

"Snowflake?" It dropped on Lisanna's nose. It was sparkling which she find unusual.

"It's beautiful" Mira admired it.

"Yeah, it is" the red-head nodded.

"It's a falling star, though. It will be gone sooner or later" the elder princess said.

"You sure are pessimistic, princess. I am hoping for it to stay here longer" her friend commented.

Lisanna looked at it with wonder.

In the dungeon, deep in the castle. A place no one else knew except those who use it. A man stood at the corner of the dark room. Only the light from the candles lit the room with light. He was quietly watching the pale green crystal the size of man at the center of a magic circle.

He touched the lifeless crystal. It was always the same, but he would always come and check on it everyday, hoping one day it would glow with life once again. When the gods left this world, this had lost it's old power. . .

He turned to leave when suddenly a glow of light flashed behind his back. He turned back and his eyes widened.

The crystal was glowing brightly. White light filled the room.

"The Lacrima . . ." he walked slowly to it. It was reacting, finally! This means . . .

He immediately went outside. If this was true, then there should be a sign.

One of his spies appeared in the shadows. "Master, the sky . . . outside . . ."

He was at the Royal Garden. Rose bushes of white and red walled the stone pathway. Other flowers he doesn't care about spread on the floor. He looked up and smiled. A white star streaked through the sky leaving a trail of white sparkles fall on them.

He held out his hand and it piled on his palm. He took a pinch of it and rubbed it between his fingers, examining it.

"T-This . . ." his servant looked at it with eyes wide.

"A materialized form of ethernano" he confirmed.

"But this mean . . ."

He grinned evilly.

"Yes. . . The celestials had returned."
