(0_0) Guild (0_0)
Everyone was silent. A couple hours ago Lucy and everyone arrived in the Guild. Lucy and Jellal had gone straight for master's office. The reason why everyone was silent Haru was eating at the bar. Everyone was staring at the kid in wonder. Well not everyone, Natsu was staring at master's door waiting for them to come out. He still hasn't forgotten what he saw with Lucy. He planned on going to her later when she was alone and talk to her about it.
Half hour later they had finally came out. Lucy went straight to Haru and talked to him. Jellal nervously walked to Erza.
"Erza…I'm sorry," Jellal had mumbled out.
Erza had turned to him acting strong. "I thought you were in prison?"
"Lucy and her friend helped me get out, but in return I was in her care."
Erza's eyes soften and went to hug him. "You won't leave right…?"
"I don't plan on it."
Lucy smiled from where she was at. She already knew they both had strong feelings for each other. They been through so much and they deserve to be together. Even though that was a bit fast, like really how did they hook up that fast?
"Mom," whined Haru.
Lucy shifted her attention to the kid with food all over his face. She sighed and grabbed a napkin and started to wipe his face off. "How do you always manage to do this?"
Haru giggled and had a huge smile on his face.
She rolled her eyes and leaned back. "We should go for the night."
"Where will you stay?"
Lucy turned around and came face to face with master. "I have a place already set up." She picked up Haru and started walking to the entrance.
"Wait."
Lucy blinked and turned around. Natsu was walking towards her. "What do you need?"
"To talk, I want some answers." Natsu looked down at her.
Lucy blinked having to look up at him. Since when did he get tall? Yes, in the few years she was gone Natsu had grown and his hair got a bit longer. He looks more grown up and she could tell time has been great to him. Lucy blinked getting those thoughts out of her head. What was I thinking? I thought I was over this. A small blush came across her cheeks. "D-Do whatever you want."
Haru looked up at his mother curiosity coursing through his veins. He has never seen his mother's face turn red with her stuttering. Well with anyone other than Grandpa Igneel. Grandpa Igneel would always bring up this person called Matting. I don't know who this Matting person is, but isn't he the one making mommy turn red? Who is this guy? Investigation time!
Lucy, Natsu, and Haru left the guild and are now walking down the street. Natsu kept looking at Haru, who was staring back at him.
Natsu might have been staring at Haru, but all his thoughts were about Lucy. I know why she had left, but what exactly happened? I know those scales were dragon scales, but how? Natsu ended up tripping over a branch. "What the hell?" He looked around his surroundings. "When did we get in a forest?"
Lucy laughed at him. "You've been spacing out this whole time?"
Natsu looked up to see her laughing at him. "W-Well…I didn't mean too…"
Lucy blinked at his response. "Anyway we are almost there."
Natsu looked around. "I thought you didn't like forests?"
"Mommy loves them!"
Lucy laughed. "He speaks the truth."
Natsu was stunned looking at the child. He actually got distracted again and fell over a branch, again. "Damn it!"
"Hey! Not in front of the kid!" yelled Lucy.
Natsu laughed nervously. "S-Sorry."
After a while they came to a house beside the river. Haru ran to look at the water. Lucy and Natsu stood awkwardly beside each other. That is until Natsu decided to talk. "Lucy…Did you see dragons?"
Lucy turned looking at him. She was surprised by his straight forward question. "Natsu I think it's time for you to go now."
Natsu blinked. "What? You will have to tell me sometime!"
"Natsu, Lucy is right. You should go."
Natsu turned around, "Jellal?"
"I thought you would be with Erza…"
Jellal shrugged. "I'm just used to being around you. Anyway, I needed to talk with you Lucy." Jellal turned to Natsu, "In private."
Natsu huffed and turned away and walked down the trail towards Magnolia.
Lucy sighed when he was gone and relaxes. "You are a life saver."
"Listen; remember those games that those people were talking about?"
"You mean the Grand Magic Games?" asked Lucy.
"I want to play!" yelled Haru. Jellal and Lucy laughed a bit at the kid.
Lucy patted his head. "Sorry, but I won't let you."
Haru pouted and ran inside. Jellal shook his head. "Anyway, the master said he would allow us to participate."
"Who the hell said we wanted to participated?" There was a moment of silence before both started to laugh. "Alright, are we still planning the two teams?"
Jellal nodded. "As far as I know, Master is announcing the teams in a few days."
Lucy nodded. "Alright, I think tomorrow I'm going for a mission. You know, just for fun." She smiled and went inside her new house. Haru said good-bye to Jellal and followed after her. Jellal had walked down the trail heading back to the Guild to meet up with Erza.
(0_0) Morning at the Guild (0_0)
Early that morning everyone was hanging out and drinking. Yeah, it's really early to start drinking. You think that they care? Anyway, the group was sitting around talking. Gajeel just got back from a mission that morning, and knows about Lucy being back. Lucy has yet to show up, that's why Gajeel isn't talking with her. Gray and Juvia were talking about their date they are going on later. Erza has all her attention on Jellal. Happy was eating a fish sitting beside Carla, who was talking to Wendy. Natsu was stuffing his face with any type of meat that was in front of him. Levy was reading a book beside Gajeel, who was eating Iron, since he is always eating Iron.
A half hour later Lucy and Haru walked into the Guild. Pretty much everyone had stopped what they were doing and either waved or said morning. Lucy replied back politely while walking to her old groups table. Half way there the Master had called for her to come up. Lucy shrugged and went up to talk with him. They entered his office and he went to sit behind his desk, while Lucy stood waiting.
"So, the Grand Magic Games we plan on having two teams. Fairy Tail A, which is you, Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Juvia. (I know those really aren't the teams, but who cares.) Fairy Tail B, which is Gajeel, Mirajane, Laxus, Jellal, and Elfman."
Lucy nodded fully agreeing with the teams. "What about the other teams?" Makarov had grabbed a piece of paper and gave it to Lucy. She scanned through the teams.
Team Blue Pegasus – Ichiya, Hibiki, Ren, Eve, and Nichiya.
Team Lamia Scale – Jura, Lyon, Toby, Yuka, and Chelia.
Team Mermaid Heel – Vanderwood, Arana, Risley, Kagura, Millianna.
Team Raven Tail – Nullpudding, Flare, Obra, Kurohebi, Alexei.
Team Quatro Cerberus – Jager, Warcry, Rocker Nabarly, Semmes.
Team Sabertooth – Sting, Rogue, Orga, Minerva, Lisanna.
Lucy blinked looking down at the list. "Master, isn't there supposed to be some sort of game to know which teams are selected?"
Makarov nodded. "Yes, well that already happened?"
Lucy rolled her eyes and handed the paper back to him. "I get it. It's a no questions asked type of deal, right?"
Makarov nodded. "You are quite right."
Lucy nodded. "I should get back." Lucy made her way out of the office and walked to her old team. She was still trying to get used to being back. Even though it has only been a few days since she arrived.
Happy had noticed her walking over to them and got up flying to her breast. Lucy sighed and rubbed his head. "Lucy!"
Everyone was looking at Happy and Lucy. Gajeel had got up and moved towards her. He had his arms crossed and acted all tall and buff in front of her. "We finally get to see each other."
Lucy was looking up at him, because let's face it Gajeel is just scary tall. It's like he doesn't need anything else, besides being tall to defeat an opponent. Anyway, Lucy smirked at Gajeel. "Well, hasn't it been awhile?"
"Gi Hee, enough with the small talk. Let's fight." Everyone in the Guild looked over when they heard this. Most were worried that Lucy would be beat up by the end of it.
Lucy had smiled at Gajeel and moved her leg kicking his side. Gajeel had gone down right away, but he didn't move he just fell over. Lucy held her leg. "What the heck? Do you have like steal on your body?"
Gajeel gave her a weird look from the ground. "Really? I'm an Iron Dragon Slayer."
Lucy blinked and rubbed her head. "Shit, how did I forget about that one?"
Gajeel shook his head and wrapped one of his legs behind her legs making her fall back. He then got up himself and looked down at her. "That all you got?"
Lucy smirked and moved her hands flat against the ground. The ground had started to shake before a hole opened and swallowed Gajeel. Everybody's eyes went wide and their jaw dropped. Lucy just got up whipping her hands from the dust.
Moments later the ground started to shake again. Gajeel came out from the ground from digging with his iron hand thing. (I really don't know.)
Lucy turned to him. "Took you long enough."
It took a few minutes to register what happened the last few minutes. Wait, when did Gajeel ever fully think? Gajeel shook his head and ran at Lucy. Lucy didn't move and let herself get hit by him. She flew back hitting the counter for the bar. It took a few minutes, but she got up whipping her mouth because of the blood.
She smirked moving her hands back and forth before a gust of wind came and Lucy disappeared. In a second she was in front of Gajeel in the air. She had kicked him while fire surrounded her foot. This time Gajeel ended up across the other side of the room. The walls around him had cracked a bit. Everyone was silent in the Guild watching them.
Gajeel had slowly gotten up. His cheek was cut opened and was bleeding. Lucy had raised an eyebrow looking at him. "Looks like you improved too. Putting up a shield before I kicked you was a good idea."
"Gi Hee looks like it still needs more work though." Gajeel had run to her and was about to hit her before Lucy moved down, so he went straight and fell on his face.
Lucy raised an eyebrow. "Really, that was lame." She had sat on his back while he tried to get it.
"Get off of me woman." Gajeel had yelled at her.
"Not with that attitude." Lucy was checking out her nails waiting patiently for him to get up.
Gajeel groaned and just laid there for a minute before Levy came over. "Hey Lu-chan!"
Lucy had her legs crossed and looked up to her. "Oh, hey Levy."
Levy smiled at her. "We should go shopping!"
Lucy smiled and stood up. "Yeah, let's go!"
Gajeel rolled onto his back and growled. "Shit, I hate you."
Lucy rolled her eyes and locked her arms with Levy. "No you don't. Levy let's go!" She walked towards the exit.
"Mom!"
Lucy turned around. "What is it, Haru?"
"I want to see Grandpa Igneel!" Haru whined.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards them. Natsu stood up and took a step over. "Igneel?"
