Dear Readers,

I know this sounds like an excuse, but I promise it isn't. I had the whole chapter done for the 25th and my computer went caput. I had to do a whole computer restore and lost EVERYTHING… I even had chapters for my other stories and I stayed up all night to do them :'( I am truly sorry. I will try to type faster now I am truly sorry again, Please forgive me.

~Natsu's Point of View

"Natsu knock it off before you set the whole train on fire!" Erza scolded me harshly, but that didn't stop me from pacing around the train in a flaming manor.

"Flame-brain we all had this coming to us. We did barge in on her." Gray said trying to keep his own temper from flaring.

"Still I only wanted her to forgive Lisanna, and I also wanted to make sure that she was safe. She has to deal with a water dragon slayer you know." I defended myself.

"We know that, but at the same time we can't force Lucy to forgive Lisanna so easily. Lisanna had what she got coming, but at the same time Lucy went about it the wrong way. We have to face the fact that Lucy has changed a little bit. She is still caring, but she isn't the little weak girl anymore." Erza said with a sincere look in her eyes.

I stopped pacing to see Erza's face, and that's when the motion sickness got me.

"Lucy... I will forgive you… but I am….still going….to have to….beat you up for..this!" I said trying to keep my food down.

"I'm just impressed with how long he was able not to notice that we were moving." Gray said with a smirk.

Whenever I see Lucy she will hear about this!

~Lucy's Point of view

"Ok, I managed to get rid of them, the only problem is… HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET THERE!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, making everyone stop and stare.

I turned around and noticed that everyone was looking. I blushed madly, and started to walk away with my head down.

"Lucy Heartfilia, is that you?" A voice asked behind me.

I turned around to face the voice. When I turned around I saw a familiar face, it was Sting, from the guild Sabertooth. (He is a little OOC..mainly because I never got to the part where he came in at.)

"Sting, Sting Eucliffe? Is that you?" I asked almost jumping with joy.

"It has been a while hasn't it? I see that you went back to the fairies." He says almost with disgust.

"Sting I told you before I joined Sabertooth, that I would be going back to Fairy Tail." I said to him not losing my temper.

"You should have stayed at Sabertooth. We all miss you. Now that you have all the Zodiac Keys, you as so strong, not to mention your light magic." Sting said still with disgust.

"How did you know that I got the last Zodiac Key?" I asked with a glare.

"I just knew that you did, because you were determined to find it." He said to me.

"Ok back to the beginning now, why are you here?" I asked with a smile.

"To tell you the truth I don't know. I got bored, because almost all the missions on the board are gone, because everyone is working overtime. We would have went on an S-class mission, but someone in the Fairies took the one that we wanted." Sting said in almost a huff.

"Are you talking about the one with the Dragon slayer?" I asked with an almost unreadable face.

"Yeah how did you know about it?" He asked.

"Because that is the mission I am on… do you have a problem with the fairies taking it now, or would you like to join be and we can spilt it 50/50. 50,000,000 each." I said with a smile.

"SURE! I would love to go, but only me and you are going to go, ok?" He said to me with a smirk.

"Like old times?" I asked smiling back.

He nodded and I smiled. This was going to be fun.

"Come on, I have a carriage waiting, that's how I got here because I didn't feel like taking the train." He said grabbing my hand.

"Oh I forgot to mention, that Natsu, Gray, and Erza are going to be out hunting for me." I said with a evil smirk.

"Good then I can beat Natsu to a pulp! You know that I don't like him!" he said.

"Neither do I, he followed me, after I got into a fight with one of the girls in the guild. He told me he loved me, but I can't return those feelings, only because he pisses me off too much." I said growling in my head.

"Then why go back to that little stupid Guild? They piss you off, and then you get in fights with them." He said almost yelling it.

"Only because they took me in a long time ago. I can't just abandon the ones that took me in." I said in almost a mumble.

We walked the rest of the way to the carriage in silence. Once we were both situated in the carriage we started moving I smiled.

"What are you so happy about?" Sting asked looking out the carriage window.

"This is just like old times isn't it? You do know that I missed you, right?" I said blushing lightly.

"I missed you too Lucy, I just don't get why you went back to those damn fairies." He said, but this time instead of disgust it was more sorrow-filled.

"Sting I know that it hurt all the people that took me in at SaberTooth, but I promised that I would go back to Fairy Tail. I missed my old friends." I said trying to get him to cheer up.

"But I miss you the most Lucy. Lucy, I still love you!" He blurted out all at once, but then covered his mouth with his hand, blushing.

"Sting, we tried that once, and when we did it turned out badly. When we went on a mission you got badly hurt because you were into emotion and didn't pay attention to the battle. It was all my fault too. You almost died! What would I do if you would have died? I don't think that I would have been able to forgive myself!" I said looking straight at him.

"Lucy it wasn't nowhere near your fault!" He countered me.

"But….." I said before the carriage took off in a complete galloping.

I fell on the floor from the sudden force of the carriage taking off. Sting was sent flying back and his feet were above his head. I steadily tried to stand up, but the carriage was bouncing back and forth to violently. Sting managed to get on his feet and yell out the window to the driver, which was looking deathly scared.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING!" Sting yelled.

"We are being followed by some sort of monster. It is giant and has razor teeth!" was the reply of the driver.

Sting looked behind us and saw what the man was talking about. He was about to jump out the window, before I grabbed his leg.

"Don't be reckless!" I screamed.

"Lucy, come with me then. Make sure that I don't do anything reckless." He pleaded.

With this I couldn't refuse, so I jumped out the window with him. We rolled a few times before we finally stopped. We could see the monster coming up on us fast. Sting was quickly to his feet extending his hand to help me up. I quickly took it and we both jumped out of the way before the monster got ahold of us. It looked as though it was a giant worm, with a mouth full of teeth. It was slightly yellow color with dark green dots all over its back. This worm had a horn coming out of its forehead, and it seemed like a claw on its tail. I had never seen a monster like this.

"When the stars are aligned…the light gathers around…the sun gathers light…so come forth and attack my enemy." I chanted sending a large bolt of light towards the creature.

It seemed as though it was a direct hit, but after the dust cleared it just barely stunned it. My eyes widened in shock.

"What the heck is this thing!" Sting yelled.

"I don't know, but that would have killed anything that was normal" I said with my eyes still widened.

"Gate of the Scorpion: Scorpio, I summon thee" I yelled using Scorpio's key.

"I need you to slow that thing down a bit" I said pointing.

"This can't be too long, I was on a date with Aquarius." He replied.

"Send her my apologizes" I said with a sweat-drop.

Scorpio sent a stream of sand underneath the monster making it difficult for it to walk. The ground was now soft and with the monster's size it kept sinking.

"Dragon's roar" Sting said as a giant tornado came out and attacked the monster.

This did damage to the monster, but not too much. Scorpio went back inside his key, and left me pretty much defenseless. The monster got back up and I ran to Sting.

"Maybe be if we attack tog-" I said before getting push out of the way and fell backwards.

"What was that for!" I yelled before I seen what had happened.

Blood….

There was blood dripping on the ground. I quickly got up, right before I saw sting starting to fall.

"NO! Sting you saved me, but at what cost…." I said catching him before he fell.

I felt my blood starting to boil with anger. The world that was around me became black and the memories faded.

~sting's point of view~

'Ok maybe that wasn't such a good idea. Lucy was all hopping mad. Something is happening, but what' I thought to myself.

My eyes were closed and I was hunched in a ball. There was pain but it wasn't as bad as I was putting on. Maybe it was because I wanted Lucy to take care of me. My thoughts were cut short when I heard Lucy Chanting something that I have only read about.

Survey the Heaven, Open the Heaven...
All the stars, far and wide...
Show me thy appearance...
With such shine.
O Tetrabiblos...
I am the ruler of the stars...
Aspect became complete...
Open thy malevolent gate.
O 88 Stars of the heaven...
Shine!
Urano Metria!

There was a strange light that enveloped the surrounding area. Before I knew what had happened it was gone. I opened my eyes enough to see Lucy falling to the ground, not unconscious, but clearly tired.

I slowly made it to my feet wincing along the way. I held out my hand to Lucy which she took, and we supported each other. By this time the carriage that was running away had, came back and was helping us into the back.

'I really wasn't expecting that. And this is just the start of this mission' I thought sighing to myself.

I looked over at Lucy who had drifted asleep. Gosh she look so adorable.

I'm so sorry. Please forgive me! I didn't mean to make you guys wait so long. I deserve a good knock up side the head.
