Sakura: Hola! So before you read, I changed up the plot. For those who recently read this, I changed the story. I deleted the old chapter and review into new chapters. Roy is Lucy's childhood best friend and personal trainer. He's very mysterious but caring. Anyway, if you have any questions feel free to ask me or pm me. Please review and follow!

Lucy cracked her head from side to side due to exhaustion. She did go back to get the reward but she had to give some up due to the damages they have caused. Lucy personally didn't mind, as long she finish the job and everyone is safe.

Now Lucy, Melody and Erza were going shopping, Lucy never really shop in the ocean, mainly because she's the princess and no one allowed her to go shopping. Now that she have an opportunity, she'll take the chance. She walk from a store to another. Lucy was gazing and so was Melody but one thing caught Lucy's eye. While Melody was looking around with Erza, Lucy went over to the item, that catched her attention.

She pressed her hand to the glass and admire how the item glowed.

"Lucy!"

Lucy snap out of her trance and quickly step away from the item. Melody and Erza walk over towards her. Erza's carrying tons of bags, Melody got something too but with Lucy's money of course. Lucy smile,

"All done?"

Erza shook her head, "Oh no, no, no."

Lucy frown, "What else do you need to get?"

Erza chuckle, "Not me. You."

Lucy blink a couple of time in confusion, "Huh? Why do I need to buy something?"

"Because it's shopping!"

Lucy laugh, "I rather gaze around then shopping. I'm fine with looking."

Erza shook her head and was about to say something when Lucy interrupted her,

"Let's get some cake!"

Before Erza could say anything, Lucy drag Melody and Erza to the nearest bakery. After buying some pastries, the girls decided to meet up with the boys and head home.

After a couple hours they finally found the boys fighting each other which led to another disaster when Erza joined. Lucy sweat drop while Melody giggle.

-In the guild-

The group's walking in the guild when someone try to punch Lucy but she dodge. She manage to catch the face of her attacker and smile. She push herself and flipped that person. Her attacker was caught in surprise and groan when he hit the floor. Lucy laugh and offer a hand to help him up.

"Hey Roy!"

Roy flash a grin and grab Lucy's hand. She turn around and greeted her other companion.

"Roy, meet Erza, Natsu, Gray and this one is Melody. This is Fairy Tail. Guys, this is Roy."

Roy bowed down to them, "Thank you for taking care of this brat. She must have been troublesome towards you."

Lucy punch Roy and pouted. Master cleared his throat,

"Hello Roy. I'm the Master. Are you here to join the guild."

Roy shook his head, "I'm sorry but I must decline. I was here to train Lucy and also be here for her birthday."

The guild exclaimed, "BIRTHDAY?!"

Lucy sweat drop, "It's not a big deal."

Natsu's jaw dropped, "Yes it is! You get a lot of food on your birthday!"

Gray smack Natsu's head, "That's only what you want stupid flame breath!"

Natsu growled, "Shut it stripper. You need clothes for your birthday!"

While Natsu and Gray were brawling, Mira smile, "So when's the date Lucy?"

Lucy wave her hand, "No it's okay! It doesn't need to be celebrated. I'm fine."

Mira's smile became a smile that say 'tell me now or I'll force it out of you."

Roy smirk, "Next week."

Lucy frown, "Roy!"

Roy shrug, "What? It won't harm you."

Lucy cross her arm, "Whatever. Let's go Melody."

Before Lucy could go anywhere, Roy grab her shirt, "I'm here to train you. I was assigned."

"Hai, hai, whatever. Same thing right?"

"That was with your upper body, now you need to train your lower body."

Gray frown, "Why lower body? Aren't you suppose to train the whole body?

Lucy and Roy look at each other, "Uh... It's because Roy's training are more effective!"

"I hope you did continue the training. You better not be weak."

Lucy roll her eyes, "I got much better. I slam you to the ground."

Roy chuckle, "I was going easy on you. I didn't use any strength."

Lucy grew an angry tick, "No wonder! It was too easy!"

Roy started to laugh, "Alright. Alright. Gomen!"

Lucy turn back to Melody, "Stay with Mira awhile and when I come back, let's go on a mission together."

Melody nodded and flew to Mira. Melody have been close with Mira lately. Lucy waved goodbye and went with Roy to train. On their way to a perfect training spot, Roy picked up a conversation,

"I heard everything."

Lucy clench her fist, "Milliana?"

Roy nodded. They finally reach their destination, Lucy turn around.

"Make me stronger so I can defeat Nor and Zeref!"

Roy sigh, "Lucy, I..."

Roy couldn't say anything while looking at the furious dark chocolate brown eyes. he close his mouth and sigh,

"I'll try my best. First I need you to call out your spirits. How many can you call out?"

"3 so far."

Roy nodded, "I need you to get more out. Is that okay? Don't push yourself but slowly we need to improve your power and strength."

Lucy nodded and did what Roy told. They have been training with Aquarius, Taurus and Loke. They practice on fighting in unison and some tactics that can make a mess. They kept going for 5 more hours. Finally, the three spirits went back to the spirit world and Lucy was panting and aching. Roy shook his head, "Stamina, low."

Roy put out a water bottle and handed it to Lucy, "Drink it and we'll move on to your dragon slayer power."

Lucy look at Roy and grab the water. She drank the whole container within 1 minute. She settle the plastic down and wipe the excess water on her mouth.

"You know dragon slayer magic?"

"I'm a dragon slayer too."

Luke widen her eyes, "First, Milliana now you? Who else? Julie?"

Roy shook his head, "Just us and Milliana. Now you're power can work two ways. Light from the sun or stars or from your spirits."

Lucy tilt her head, "What do you mean?"

"Let me show you."

Roy manage to make Lucy understand the process and they sent another 3 hours training her power. Lucy was exhausted and drenched in sweat. Roy gave her another bottle and she drank it all. Roy made Lucy jog all the way to the guild. Roy jog with her so he can encourage her as she jog. When she made it to the guild, everyone saw the drenched Lucy, who's panting.

"Arigato Roy."

Roy just patted her head and asked Mira for a towel. Roy handed it to Lucy and Lucy quickly wiped her sweat.

Gray walk up to her, "How's the training?"

"Intense but still effective."

Gray nodded, "Hey. Um... the day before your birthday, can you make that day free?"

Lucy nodded, "Yeah sure. No problem. Why?"

Gray scratch his head, "I'll tell you when it' time."

"Mama!"

Melody hug Lucy and notice Gray's presence. "Papa!"

Lucy frown in confusion, "Papa?"

Gray shrug, "I told her not to be formal to me and she wanted to call me Papa. I don't mind."

Lucy laugh, "Aren't you a softie."

Gray growl, "Am not!"

Lucy laugh. Roy tap her shoulder and whisper in her ear. Knowing there are some dragon slayers, Roy made sure no one can hear beside Lucy.

"I'm going back to the ocean for now. I'll be back on your birthday."

Lucy pout, "Do you have to leave so soon?"

Roy ruffle Lucy's hair, "I'll be back. Don't worry. Don't slack on your training. Here's your daily schedule."

Lucy took the paper and reviewed it and nodded, "Sank you!"

The guild bare farewell to Roy and Lucy was about to go home.

"Melody, time to go home!"

"Yes Mama! Goodbye Mira san."

Mira smile and watch as Lucy said bye and both of them left. Her smile faded when she felt a dark presence. She turn around but the presence was gone. Natsu notice Mira's distress,

"What's wrong?"

Mira frown and try to inspect a little to get some hint but failed, "Nothing. Probably my imagination."

No one knows that it wasn't her imagination and that there could be some danger coming soon.
