Water break

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or if's characters… (Snatches up Happy and Plue :D so cute!)

Lucy stared up at the blue sky above her; she could remember vividly everything went on in the cave yesterday before slipping into unconsciousness. Though she had no idea where she was now?! She was lying in a real bed? She felt something in the room, but from what she could tell they weren't dangerous… Lucy tilted her head in the figure's direction to find it was Loki; his back was propped against the door as he slept soundly. The sunlight began to peek itself through the windows half closed curtains. The sunlight pooled on the floor slowly leaking up towards Loki's peacefully sleeping face. Lucy stood up slowly feeling a slight hint of a dizzy spell hit her.

She cleared the room in seconds as she stood in front of the window and shut the curtains. The light that'd been crawling up Loki's chest leaked out of the room quickly as if fearing Lucy presence. "Poor things been up all night…" Fate told her truthfully with a tired yawn. Lucy grabbed the blanket on the bed and dragged it over to Loki lightly placing it over his sleeping form. Lucy smiled stealing his shades again placing them on the dresser before she turned and looked around for her book bag. She found it lying limply next to the nightstand on the floor beside the bed. Taking her time as she dug through it trying not wake her loyal Spirit who'd been up all night worrying.

"You really love all of them don't you?" Fate asked with the slightest smile. She held the ability to read hearts as well, but never had she seen a
Celestial Wizard with the utmost respect and care before. Lucy got up and walked towards the bathroom 'Yeah… my Spirits have stuck by me through everything… they are a part of my family. I can't imagine a life without them in it. Normally when thinking of a different life for me I think of Lucy Ashley, but me and her although the same we have two completely different lives.' Lucy told her as she walked into the bathroom locking the door behind her.

Lucy slipped off her dirty clothes and hopped into the bath deep down thanking the gods for a real bath! She stepped into the and turned the water to fairly hot. Water flooded the small tub quickly while she spoke to Fate using her thoughts. She shut off the water 'I know this is probably the weirdest thing you may have ever heard, but do you wanna take a bath with me? It's getting weird talking to you in my head…' she thought. Fate laughed at the comment as she imagined the blonde turning a bright shade of red. "Sure." She said shaking her head trying to stop laughing at the embarrassed look she knew Lucy possessed right now.

Lucy thought about Fate with closed eyes standing next to the bathtub. She felt a strange sensation around her like reality around her had been tampered with. Almost like it was warped! That feeling slowly vanished and she opened her eyes to see the long strawberry red haired teen. Her starlight silver piercing eyes opened to greet Lucy's chocolate brown ones. Lucy couldn't place it, but she swore her eyes were familiar! "What's on your mind Lucy?" Fate asked slipping her dress off letting it land around her feet with a plop.

She said sitting opposite to Lucy who was eye had caught a small glimpse of one of her scars. Lucy blushed "I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare." She said noticing she'd been caught staring at the very painful looking scar that seemed to wrap from her back and just barely edge around to her side. Fate sigh shaking her head "Its fine… neither of us have led the greatest of lives… we may not get a little miss perfect award, but that's fine with me because if this…" she paused turning while pulling her hair away from her back to reveal more scars. "I'm not the spoiled little girl I use to be anymore." Before she realized she was doing it Lucy began outlining the scars with her finger "How did it happen?" she asked noticing what she was doing and pulled her hand away.

Fate let her hair go and turned her back against the opposite side of Lucy again. The steam rose off the water creating a gentle mist that swirled harmlessly around the room. The mirrors were beginning to fog up as the hot water's steam warmed the airs once slightly chilled temperature!

Cancer being her teacher today walked with her on the beach as they found a secluded area void of people for quite some distance. They step through the water stopping as it hit Cancer's mid chest "This training Lucy works on your ability to timely release and disburse your blows upon the correct moment! Example…" he said allowing his hands to glow letting the Magical Power pulse through his scissors the energy didn't look very focused at all as it waved around the blades. "This is an example of an inexperienced person who had yet to learn this." He said slashing his scissors through the water's surface creating a very messy wave resembling that of Juvia's water slicer that that limply fell back into the water.

The attack had launched, but from the looks of it. It wouldn't have done any damage! "Next is someone with experience." He said gathering not as much Magical Power and yet the energy radiating off the scissors looked and felt strong! He slashed at the surface of the water sending a very tall very thick and very fast water slicer slammed into a huge wave that'd been hurling itself towards them. It was cut in half; the wave crashed missing a large section of it that'd been blown out by Cancer's attack.

"Magical Power is an amazing thing; it can be formed… shaped to the master's desire. For example…" he said as the scissors in his right hand vanished and he closed his hand into a tight fist letting it beam with Magical Power. He reshaped it from a fist bringing it to a pointed sword as he reopened his fist extending his fingers. "As long as you stay creative with the forms of your Magical Power you produce; I have little doubt in my mind that you won't be able to get passed every and anything." He told her as the Magical Power crawled back into his body.

Natsu growled all he could smell was dead fish throughout the forest! He found several fishy corpses tied up all over the forest. He was sure it was Lisanna since she left a clue for him. Who else does he know who has white hair and seemed to have a problem with his Lucy for one reason or another? He hopped down the tree with the poor fish's corpse; taking time out of his day to dig the poor thing a grave. After he finished he stomped his way back to town to tell Lisanna go back to the Guild and get lost.

They'd been stuck in Oak town for three days! All because of her antics! If it hadn't been for her he would have found Lucy already! He was being driven crazy by this urgent pull he felt whenever Lucy was on his mind; which lately was all the time. He'd woken up the day before startled after going to the bathroom to go pee. Finding a glossy light pink lipstick print on his cheek where Lucy had kissed him in his dream… many facts were confusing him, but the one fact that angered him was how Lisanna was trying to keep him bound to this town!

"Natsu!" Lisanna's voice sang from nowhere! Natsu's eyebrow twitched annoyed "Wanna go out today and…" she started, but was cut off rather rudely by Natsu. "No! I'm going to look for Lucy." He told her hitting his shoulder with hers as he walked past her angrily. He stopped mid step though "What the hell do you have against her… huh?!" he asked. Lisanna bit her bottom lip to keep from crying.

Lucy concentrated the buildup Magical Power before thrusting her hand against an oncoming wave when the Magic met its peak. A small burst of power erupted from her fist causing a small blow back on the wave. However because of her horrible control and timing the attack exploded sending her flying back a bit only to be assaulted by the rough and heavy set of waves from the sea. Lucy washed up to shore sitting up with a start as she choked up a bit of sea water. "You're not using your head again Lucy; think before you act." Fate told her like a mother to a child. Who'd just gotten into a petty fight at school over nothing and got suspended for it.

'Gah I wish I knew what I was doing wrong!' Lucy thought as she stomped back to the waist deep water. She attempted once again, but got the same result. "My father told me when being taught something it's better to learn through your own mistakes, but… I'm not my father so! You see how you're holding your hand?" she asked. Lucy brought her hand up by her face to stare at it 'Yeah what about it?' she thought letting her body rest on the shore for a moment to speak with Fate. Cancer stepped up to her kneeling down "You alright princess?" he asked concerned.

Lucy gave a brief nod "Depending on the position you have your hand in will determine the timing in which you should execute your attack. For example your hand being straightened and fingers fully extended is how you would make a sword or dagger form; as you know these are mid range close combatant weapons! Which means your timing will be fast. The fist form you have now is the most difficult because like the sword it requires you to be within close range. The only difference between the two is that a fist shot is more of an in your face split second kind of thing whereas the sword and dagger give you time with their slightly more distanced range. Your job is basically to use every style and grasp the timing in which works for you and the style." Fate finished.

Lucy stared at her somewhat shaky hand "I understand." She said out loud before standing up and strutting into the water yet again.

"You would never do this for me…" Lisanna said hitting Natsu with a wave of confusion. What was she talking about? Natsu growled frustrated "I don't have time for this!" he said feeling the urge to go search for Lucy again. He felt like he hadn't done anything the past three days, but be jerked around by Lisanna. Lisanna hugged him from behind trying to stop him from moving. It didn't… dragging her with him he gathered his stuff from his room barely hearing her as she begged and pleaded for him to not go after Lucy.

"I love you!" she yelled as he put his back pack over his shoulders. Natsu was silent and unmoving for a minute or two before saying something "Stand up now!" he yelled like a father who was disciplining a child. Lisanna reluctantly let go of him standing with at least a foot of space between them; he turned around to face her looking back at her sadly. She went to kiss him, but he clapped his right hand over her mouth stopping her "Thank you Lisanna, but… I've moved on and you should too." He told her as gently as it could be said. The subject was very touchy…

He didn't realize how touchy until he walked out of the house and Lisanna came chasing after him. She latched onto his leg for dear life. He couldn't get her to let go! He'd even tried shaking her off his leg. So rather than burn his childhood friend to a crisp while she was having a bipolar moment to get her to let him go he dragged her through town hugging his leg like a child whining not wanting her father to leave her at school for a day of learning. Natsu felt embarrassed as she whined louder gathering the attention of random people in the town they were in. "Geez pyro what'd you do to Lisanna?" Gray's annoying voice came from behind him.

Natsu never felt so happy to see him… Natsu began explaining everything to them. They found it surprising to find Natsu had been out looking for Lucy, but had been staying in Oak Town for several days because Lisanna would find away to block of Lucy's scent from his nose.

She was starting to grasp it a little bit, but her training in the region had only just begun for her. "I have to say for such a horrible start; you've improved quite a bit, but it's not enough Lucy." Fate told the hunched over Holder-Mage. Lucy panted heavily as she turned and walked back to shore. The strong waves had quieted down from earlier so there wasn't much more she could do for today. She'd have to do independent practice on this later when the time for it rose. She thanked Cancer and closed his gate before picking up her bag from the sand. She found herself walking in the shopping district of the town looking for a medical store.

When she found it she purchased the things she was now running out of bandages, ointment, and medical tape. She went to walk up to the counter, but stopped through the mid isle she was in. Her eyes landed on stopped on a pregnancy test called First Response. She scooped up three different tests and walked to the register ignoring the disapproving looks she got from the two older women behind the counter.
