Well hello again! One of my friends suggested that I should write a bit on Lucy's training. So yea. Thanks for you guys for sticking through my laziness to update. And uh... On with the story!

Lucy's pov

A loud growl woke me from my slumber. Hm... Maybe Natsu had came to sleep over like he used to before Lisanna came back and was hun-

A more animalistic growl sounded again.

"Shit!" I cursed as I scrambled up, trying to find my keys, but found them lying next to the large mammal. I only had my fleuve d'étoiles with me. It was just a wolf. I have faced monsters 10 times larger than it. It can't be too hard.

Or so I thought.

As I flicked my fleuve d'étoiles in front of the wolf, it bared its teeth and lunged, aiming for my face. I shrieked and dodged. The wolf's extended claws barely grazing my shoulder. I gripped the handle tighter and lashed it out at the wolf, this time smacking it across it's face.

The furry animal whimpered as it was flung back, but immediately getting up on its feet again.

Snarling in rage, it pounced at me again. This time successfully scratching my armor. As we landed on the ground with a thump, I quickly scrambled out under the wolf clutching my stomach.

Narrowing my eyes, I flicked my wrist, sending the fleuve d'étoiles flying towards the creature trying to attack me. The tail of the whip grabbed his muzzle, sending a shockwave to it.

This time, the wolf whined and with its tail tucked in between its legs and ran away.

I collapsed with exhaustion. What happened to me? I used to have more stamthat than that. Perhaps it was the lack of missions I did not go. I needed training.

I stood up and picked up my keys, gripping them tightly. Maybe Capricon would help me with training.

*timeskip: a year*

Normal pov

"Lucy, how has your kicks been progressing?"

"I nearly kicked off a branch Capricron"

"Very good. Remember to conserve your energy"

"Yes I know" Lucy said blankly, hoisting her magical backpack she got from Virgo.

A year ago, Lucy had started training with Capricorn on hand to hand combat. At first, the training had been really tough, but in the end, she had made a lot of progress.

First was her fighting style.

As she was not made for brute strength, Capricorn had her train to dodge attacks, but when the right moment came, strike the opponent down. Every strike counted.

Then came her weapon of choice. A year ago, she would said it was her fleuve d'étoiles, but it didn't match her current fighting style. So Capricorn had her choose between the vast selection of wepons from the celestial world to equip.

Instead it was a set of throwing knives and daggers. All sharpened to the point of cutting a thin strand of hair if it came in contact with them. Curtosey of Cancer.

Over that year, her personality had changed as well. Her face showed no emotion, unlike her normal happy self. That part of her was still there though. Just well hidden enough for even Lucy to forget.

Her soft brown eyes had darkened and became almost black. As well as her hair, over the days, her normal hair grew back, but not as a bright blond. Instead it was icy blond, almost platanium. Like white gold.

Oh, if Fairy Tail could see her now.

*Lucy's pov*

It was quite obvious where the guild was. A mass of jewels and crystals was its foundation, and they sparkled under the morning sun. They were definitely, not subtle. I wonder how I was going to fit in.

'This is it' I mumbled to myself as I reached out my hand to push open the guild doors. A loud 'Creeeeeaaaaaak' sounded as all activities in the guild froze, their attention on me. Having this much attention for so long made my stomach coil with anxiousness but my face betrayed nothing.

"I am here to join the guild. Where can I speak to your guild master?" I heard myself telling them.

The girl behind the counter with platanium hair smiled at me and beckoned me towards the bar.

"Hi, my name is Sky, can you please wait here while I get master?" She asked sweetly. I nodded my head as she ran upstairs.

"So you are here to join the guild eh?" A husky

female voice said next to me.

I turned my head around to face her. She had a long lavender hair in a spiky ponytail and blue/purple eyes and her hand around a cup of scotch.

Cool eyes regarded me before she stuck her free hand out towards me. "Name's Violet. I think you would get into this guild. You have spunk"

"I'm Lucy"

"Nice name. Although it doesn't fit your personality."

"I used to be different"

"Hm... How much of a difference?"

I was about to retort with a snarky comment when I heard a voice that sounded so much like Wendy's interrupted.

"Violet. Don't pressure her" the voice said.

"Im not pressuring her. Just asking." Violet snorted then lifted the cup to her month and in one gulp, drank it all.

I turned to face the other girl.

"Go-gomenasai, I apologize for my elder sister's behavior" The girl bowed to me. Like Violet, she had purple hair as well, only a shade darker than her sister's and unlike Violet's tanned skin, hers was as white as a pearl.

Her dark blue eyes shone so much like Wendy's that for a moment I froze. Like I had been in this situation before. Sky was Mira, Violet is Canna and that girl Wendy.

Only difference was, that I wasn't the kindhearted, niëve Lucy.

There even a red-headed teenage boy here too.

And a green haired guy that reminded me of Freed.

"Oh, are you the girl who wants to join?" A kind voice said behind me.

I whipped my head around to see the guild master. At least he wasn't as short as Makarhov. That helped.

"Ahh, mind my manners, my name is Colin. I'm the guild master of Jewel heart. I assume that you know the terms of the test?"

"Yes I do"

"Oh, now lets begin"

What do you guys think of Lucy's new behavior? Satisfactory? I hope so.

I would write more but it's currently 3:30 AM here and I am getting drowsy.

Any guesses on Lucy's Jewel?
