Thank you all for participating in my poll. I have a general direction that I want to go now. Still subject to change. The top pairings were:
Lalu, Nalu, GaLevy, Gruvia, Mira/Freed, Galu, and Natsu/Lisanna.
The most interesting pairings were: GraLevy, Natsu/Erza, Natsu/Mira, Cana/Bixlow, Lisanna/Bixlow.
Verrrry interesting pairings.
The next chapter will be Rabbit Season for Dragons Part 2!
Lucy trained by rotating her spirits. For that particular day, it was Aquarius, Scorpio, Taurus, and Saggitarius who trained with her. Aquarius and Scorpio had to be together, or else the two would never stay for long. After a good run, the four celestial spirits and Lucy sparred around a rocky waterfall.
Wendy was meditating a far ways away. She was maintaining a tornado around her body, levitating somewhat in the air. Holding her breath, she was silencing out her surroundings.
Carla was training her aera to be more helpful to Wendy by flying in and out of the tornado.
When night hit, Lucy summoned Lyra. For some reason, all her spirits had open schedules now and Lyra offered to provide Wendy Carla and Lucy company every night. After dinner, Lyra would give beautiful performances in the tent until everyone would fall asleep.
Lyra was watching Lucy sleep. Loke appeared next to her. Lyra looked up to Loke "I just want to enjoy her the way she is now… Let me stay just a little longer.."
"I know.. We all do… See you tomorrow." Loke vanished.
Romeo had heard what Master Makarov said. "So that's why I haven't seen her…."
Gray walked into the guild with Juvia. Romeo saw Gray and he ran up to the half-naked man. He grabbed Gray's hand and pulls him outside the guild.
"Oiy, Romeo! What's up? Heeyy!"
Romeo kept his silence while pulling Gray into a corner away from the guild. Once he checked that they were alone.
"Romeo. What's going on?"
"Do you know what mission Wendy went on?"
"Huh? Wendy went on a mission? How should I know. Shouldn't Mira know?"
"No she doesn't. Wendy was sent on a mission by master himself. Master Makarov. And yesterday… Laxus came in and asked where Wendy was."
"Laxus?" Gray was surprised. Laxus wasn't particularly the type of guy who would worry about the little dragon slayer.
"Yea! Weird right? And Gajeel was weird too! Laxus told Master he was going on vacation leave right after asking about Wendy and Gajeel followed after. I haven't seen him since."
"Hm… let me ask Levy. She would know what's going on if Gajeel is in on it"
The two walked back into the guild and Gray walked up to the blue haired girl.
"Hey Levy"
"Hi Gray. Did you just come back from a mission? I saw Juvia come in."
"Yea. Where's Gajeel?"
Levy was startled. "Whaaattt? I don't know…Wh…Whyy would I know where he is?."
"Oh okay. Just wondering since you are closest to Gajeel. Let me know when he gets back. "
Levy blushed "O..okay".
Gray walked away towards Romeo. She let out a sigh of relief. She tried acting like nothing was bothering her and acted like she was reading. Jet and Droy were looking for a mission to go on and hadn't noticed Gray approach her.
She thought, "Gajeel must have found a lead. That was close.. I wonder why Gray is looking for Gajeel.." Without thinking, Levy whispered.. "Lucy… "
Natsu had heard her. He got up from his table with Lisanna and walked up to Levy. He slammed his hand onto the table.
"What are you hiding Levy." Natsu demanded.
"What.. do you mean.. N..Nnattssuu?"
"You're hiding something.. something smells fishy…." He wrinkled his nose and took little sniffs.
"STOP BULLYING LEVY NATSU!" Jet and Droy yelled while stomping over to the table.
"What are you talking about Natsu?! I'm not hiding anything!" Levy protested.
Everyone in the guild was watching now. It was unusual for Natsu to confront Levy like that.
Gray was watching now. He knew that if someone as dense as Natsu felt something was fishy.. something was DEFINITELY fishy…
He looked towards Romeo. Romeo looked back. Both had come to the same conclusion.
"You just called out her name. "
Oh no.. Levy was dying inside. He had heard her… She quickly responded back.
"Why? Can't I call her name?"
Gray spoke loudly "Oiy Natsu. Drop it."
"She was my best friend too. " Levy said while looking down at the table top.
Silence.
"Sorry… its been tough for you too huh Levy."
Natsu was so nice all of a sudden. He's had changed so much.
"Its okay natsu..." She smiled weakly while looking back at Natsu's face.
Natsu put his hand on top of her hand that was resting on top of the table.
"But you're still hiding something" His eyes were stern. He wasn't going to bend.
"NATSU GET YOUR HAND OFF OF HER" Jet and Droy attacked Natsu and a brawl started.
The tense atmosphere disappeared like that and another brawl started in the guild. Levy just wanted to disappear in her seat… She hid herself behind her book and tried to slip away.
In the midst of the brawl, people were going in and out of the guild to avoid and join the brawl. Gray saw a flash of golden hair. His eyes widened and he bolted for the exit.
He went outside and saw a glimpse of the golden haired man walking into an alleyway. He ran over and went inside the alley way. They were alone.
Trying to catch his breath, "Loke…"
"Yo Gray." Loke swished his raised hand once in a greeting.
"You're here.. how are you here…."
"That's not important. Can you tell me what you saw."
"About what?"
"That day"
Gray was shocked. He stuttered "D...don't you know?"
"I am here to confirm. You were the other witness."
Gray explained what he saw. He was wondering why it took so long for Loke to come and ask. If he could come in the first place, why now?
"I see.. Thanks Gray." Loke started walking away.
"Wait! Loke!"
"Don't worry Gray…. She's… alive and well" Loke smiled.
Turning his back on him, "Don't tell anyone." Loke vanished.
Tears streamed out. He slumped on his knees. Had he heard right? He had. He must have.
"Thank God… Thank God you are alive… " He felt like a heavy weight lifted from his chest. He felt light. Excitement was running through his veins. He was overflowing with emotions and he needed to release. He ran back into the guild. Did Levy know? Did Gajeel, Laxus, Wendy.. Did they all know?!
"Yo flamebreath!"
"What you call me ice princess?!" He looked at gray. Natsu had been interrogating Levy again and she looked like she was going to cry. He noticed something different about Gray. He was happier. Did something happen?
He ran and punched Natsu in the face. Natsu went flying.
"Tch you've gotten soft Natsu. I guess Im now stronger than you. Hehe" Gray was rotating his fists to pump blood into them.
"GRAYYY YOU!" Fire was burning in his eyes.
"Beat him good Gray-sama! "Juvia yelled!
"Tch" With a grin, Gray looked towards Levy. He winked at her.
Juvia paled. "WHHHAAAAA! ANOTHER LOVE RIVALLLLL!"
Levy blushed. What was that all about she thought. She looked towards Juvia. A dark intense aura was coming from Juvia and it sent chills up her spine.. "EEEEEPP SHE SAW THAT!?"
Levy was crying inside. She thought, "Why is this happening!.. How did you handle it all Lucyyyy!"
"GRRAAYYYYYYYY!" Natsu lunged towards Gray and the brawl continued.
It had been a while since Natsu and Gray had fought. It was like old times…
Gajeel, Laxus, and full sized Lily crawled, coughing out seawater, onto the rocky beach… They were wet and exhausted. They collapsed on the rocky beach.
Their boat was getting close to the island but to their surprise a small tsunami had appeared near the shore. Someone was creating the tsunami with their magic. Dangerously close by, a strong watersprout formed and was causing strong currents and high dangerous winds.
The captain of the boat quickly turned the boat around and was retreating from the island. Laxus and Gajeel in their motion sickness had no choice but to jump off the boat into the ocean. Lily couldn't fly due to the thunderstorm and high winds.
The waterspout collided with the small tsunami.
It was a wonder how they survived. But what was more surprising was that it was all Lucy and Wendy's doing.. They had made the tsunami and waterspout.
As they were gasping for air.. lying on the rocky surface.. wet and tired from swimming in storm waters… they couldn't help but think..
What had they got themselves into…
