A/N Who should Lucy be with? ;D Anyway, poll is on my profile!

..:Three Weeks Later:..

''Wake up...!"

''No.''

''Wake up! Dammit Shizumi..!"

''No.''

''I'm not always going to be alive to wake you up!"

''...It'll be better that way.''

''Whose going to wake you up then?!"

''I'll rely on Rogue.''

Lucy gave a knowing smirk, "So... that's how close you've gotten to him, eh?''

Shizumi sent Lucy flying all the way to the other side of the room. Lucy groaned, and rubbed her forehead.

''What about you and Sting?" she countered.

Lucy's face turned red, ''Shut up! Who would wanna date that dense barbarian?!"

''And who would wanna date that emotionless... uh.. rock!" Shizumi said, and crossed her arms.

Currently, Shizumi and Lucy lived with the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth. Of course, they paid a half of the rent. Sting was listening in on the two ''barbarians'' fight. Seriously, every morning was the same. Lucy went to go wake up Shizumi, and then they got into a big fight. He and Rogue had stopped trying to stop them, because they always got sent to the infirmary when they did. Which obviously, did not please Jiemma.

Rogue was obviously displeased in having the house torn apart everyday. Of course, with Shizumi and Lucy's Arc of Time, they didn't have to worry, but he still didn't like it. Something else displeased him even more. Shizumi had called him a emotionless rock. Sure, he'd heard much worse insults, if ''emotionless rock'' counts as an insult, but it still hurt. He was surprised when he saw that it hurt him. He shook himself a little, why was he hurt by such a wimpy comment?

Sting disliked being called a dense barbarian. Yeah, he might be stupid, but he wasn't an idiot. Why was he being called a barbarian when the two girls were the ones tearing up the damn house? It made no sense. He wrinkled his nose in displeasure. He patiently, waited for the two to be done. He anticipated the explosions as the roof was blown to bits on the other side of the house, and winced as flames erupted from the room. His eye twitched as he saw ice, poison, and random solid packed, sharp dirt fly everywhere. He looked at Rogue with the evil eye, he was the one who let the two girls stay. He was sure he regretted it.

Sting was wrong.

Rogue didn't regret it at all. Sure he disliked it when half the house was blown all the way to Magnolia, while the other half was blown to Crocus. But something about the duo was comforting, like the missing piece.

''Ha! I win!" Lucy declared.

''Hell no you idiot, I won!" Shizumi argued.

"Nah, you're just jealous that I've got more mastery over hand to hand combat than you!" Lucy said smugly, and restored the house to it's original form.

''Oi! Blondie! I've had enough of you two destroying the house! If you think you can just-"

Lucy shot a beam of shadows at him to shut him up.

''Be quiet you imbecile. I'm trying to think."

"Think..? Hahaha! That's a funny-"

A beam of metal was shot into his mouth.

''Shut up, you're the one who bluntly challenged her to a fight.'' Shizumi said.

Sting nodded the best he could, considering the situation he was in. After a few minutes, the four of them started to walk to the guild hall.

''Yuki-chan!'' Lucy called, and grinned.

''Lucy-san, Ohayo! O genki desu ka?" Yukino greeted her. (Good morning! How are you?)

"Ohayo, genki desu!" she replied. (Good morning, I'm good)

The two went on talking about Celestial Spirits, and magic.

Shizumi went to challenge Orga to a fight.

Rogue went to watch the fight out of pure boredom, or so he says. Truthfully, he found Shizumi's fighting style to be elegant, and somehow planned out. Sting eavesdropped on Yukino and Lucy's conversation. Yes, it was quite obvious that the Twin Dragons of Sabertooth were in love. Even the ''emotionless rock'' was clearly enticed with Shizumi. Now if only they could beat them...

Lucy walked up to the request board to find something interesting. None of them really caught her interest. Until she saw the one collecting dust in the corner. She took it off, and saw it was to decipher some ancient writing. She grinned, loving the challenge.

''Shizumi! Let's decipher some ancient language!" Lucy yelled, waving the paper around.

''Could I join in, Lucy-san?" Yukino asked.

''Sure."

The three of them crowded around the paper, until Lucy noticed something. It was a easy job that gave a lot of money as a reward.

''This is real easy for something that gives two million Jewel as a reward.. I mean, it only says 'A childhood is something treasured'." Shizumi muttered.

Suddenly, the three of them glowed a blueish light, that blinded the Sabertooth members. When the light died, everyone's jaws dropped.

Shizumi and Lucy were... little kids.

And their clothes no longer fit them.

Jiemma walked out, and his jaw dropped. He immediately knew the spell. Time Curse. It lasts for a week, and alters the targets memories and age. They could still use their respective magic, but... they would act like their age. Judging from the girls' size, they were about seven years old.

Not good.

Jiemma fake coughed, and got the attention of the Sabertooth guild members.

''The type of spell Lucy and Shizumi were hit with is known as the Time Curse. It lasts for a week and alters the memories and age of the target. They can still use their magic. Sting, Rogue, I expect you to take care of them." Jiemma said.

''Wait, why us?" Sting protested.

''Because you know them better than an anyone else.''

Sting just stared at seven year old Lucy, trying to get out of the mess of cloth that enveloped her.

Rogue stared at the seven year old version of Shizumi, unable to fully register the formerly sassy, powerful, and impulsive girl, was now a seven year old.

''Ne, Lucy! It's cold!' Shizumi complained.

''Y-yeah...'' Lucy pouted and shivered.

Sting wrapped Lucy up in his furs, while Rogue wrapped Shizumi up with his cloak.

The duo were not looking forward to a week with seven year old Shizumi and Lucy.
