A/N:
I want to take a second to thank my avid followers. I'm going to let you know that I plan to make this a trilogy. Honestly it started as a whim, but as I started writing it, I found I really wanted to take the story some place EVERY ONE and yet no one has fully covered. Lets just says anything that is worth something is well worth fighting for. Hint, hint! I'm going to ask for any critiques you may have to offer for what is to come. I swear I will do my best to keep the Romance alive!

Always at your service.

Chapter 11: Sorcerer Weekly

Lucy's POV

I walked through the front door of the guild, rubbing my eyes. The past couple of days had been eventful, but I missed the noisy Guild and my friends. "LUCY-CHAN!" I smile at a waiving Mira who was behind the bar. "Come look it just arrived!" She was waving a magazine around enthusiastically. Levy sat nearby with her own copy.

"Lu-chan look how pretty you are!" She closed the magazine showing me the cover.

"Wedding of the Century, go inside this exclusive ceremony, of one the most infamous Dream teams in Fairytail's history." Suddenly my face felt hot. "Mira, that Violet girl you sent to Fairy hills.." I trail off as Mira flipped to the center fold which was a full picture of my Bridal party in our gowns. I was seated on one of Erza red Velvet thrown like chairs. "Let me see that!" I snatched the thick edition out of her hands and started scanning though interviews with my friends, and beautiful pictures of Gildarts walking me down the isle. My eyes watered as I saw a picture of out first kiss. I kept flipping and my eyes froze on an editorial written by a Miss Violet Brant. I began to read aloud.

"The Most Powerful Women of Fairytail! Written by Miss Violet Brant

At first glance one word comes to mind, Beautiful. Out off all the guilds in Fiore, Fairytail houses the most beautiful female mages in both appearance and sheer number. The most exquisite Women of this Guild seem to have a bond of friendship that bring tears to my eyes. Erza Scarlet, commonly called Titania, has an exterior as hard and cold as the armor she is so famed for using, but once out of the throws of battle, her compassionate nature warms her features making her more radiant that the setting sun, she is loving and protective. I would give my right foot to count her among my close friends. Cana Alberona, previously known for her unusual drinking habits, and her card magic. Cana has a soft playful side, she maybe touch as nails, the daughter of the Gildarts Clive who is rumored to be the next master of fairy tail. Moving on the always sweet and sassy Levy McGarden, her best trait is her intellect, but she also has that playful nature when it comes to her guild mates. Wendy Marvel the youngest of the collection is a true joy to be around, she is the Famed Sky Dragon Slayer, I have to say that if it were possible I would put her in my pocket so I could take her home with me!

Lastly, the newly re-named Lucy Dragneel. At first glance, you see a blonde bomb shell, I spent a whole of thirty seconds with this woman before I couldn't help but LOVE her. Her bubbly personality and cheerful demeanor and infectious. Lucy is the most powerful Celestial Mage in all of Fiore, she wields eleven of the twelve Zodiac keys, and has been proclaimed by the Spirit King himself as successor to the Celestial Queen. No matter whom I questioned about this wonderful woman, the same responses were given. Lucy is courageous in the heat of battle, She is forgiving and kind, and she is the light that makes Fairytail shine so brightly. Lucy Dragneel is Fairytail's most desirable female mage! What a lucky guy Salamander Natsu is for capturing her heart!"

A crowd of people had gathered around me while I was reading. "Wow." Was all I could say as I let the thick binding of paper hit the bar. I looked around to see bright smiles. And I couldn't help but laugh. "This is to much." I doubled over holding my sides.

"Can't argue with the truth." Master giggled as he hopped up next to Mira at the bar. I rolled my eyes, in no way was I, Lucy stronger than Erza or Mira-jane.

"We should start a contest then, to see where the island group is compared to the older people." Cana sat down near me, barrel in hand.

"You started drinking again?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

"Gildarts is getting on my last nerve with all this 'daddy trying to make up for lost time' stuff. I don't know how many time I have to say, I like my life the way it is!" She downed the last of it with a satisfied smile.

"I want to start working on my non-magical combat skills, I think I'll ask Gray if I can use him as target practice." I gave Cana and Levy a devilish grin. They looked at each other and laughed, point over my shoulder. A VERY annoyed Natsu was tapping his foot. "What?" I tilted my head but he didn't flinch. I pouted allowing my eyes to build tiny tears. He shook his head.

"I should be the one helping you with that." He mumbled more to him self that to me.

"You won't take it seriously, I want someone that will accept me as a serious opponent." I put my finger on my chin for a minute then turned to Levy.

"Let me borrow Gajeel please!" She looked at me with a shocked expression, I heard Cana snort into her new barrel.

"EWW Cana not like that!" I pushed her off her stool. I turned back to Levy.

"LEEEEEVVVVYYYYY-CHAN, pretty please!" I could she her mouth twitch into a small smile. I jumped up and hugged her. Then I spotted Gajeel I forcefully grabbed him by the collar and dragging him to the guild's exit.

I heard Levy turn to Mira. "Why is Lu-chan so brave, huh? She's always been able to face Gajeel head on. I wish I were as brave as her."

"We all wish we were as brave as Lucy." Lissanna added from next to her sister. There was a murmur of agreement.

Natsu sat at the bar with a satisfied smile, "This should get interesting." He said to himself.

Ok be angry at me for a little while, because this is the end of What 7 Years can change.

Got it all out? Good scroll down I have a surprise for you! ^_~

Sequel to What 7 Years can change

"WHAT THE HELL DID IT DO TO HER LOKE!" I demanded, setting Lucy's head gently on my lap, I looked up when I couldn't hear a response, "WHAT THE HELL WHERE DID THAT STUPID CAT GO?" I was so angry, I swore I would bet him to a pulp the second I got my hand on him. I looked at Lucy, who seemed to be mouthing words, but I couldn't understand what she was trying to say. I watched her closely, her body growing cold against my skin. "WENDY!" I yelled completely losing any composure I had left.

Wendy was by my side in a second, eye's wide as she examined Lucy. "This is some sort of internal spell Natsu-san, I don't understand what she is mouthing. She is so cold, Natsu keep her warm!" I pulled Lucy up and cradled her against my chest. I felt a shock near my heart and stared down at Lucy, my eyes filled with horror.

"Don't you dare die on me Luce, do you hear me? DON'T you die on me!" I buried my face in her hair, listening as her heart beat began to slow, her body was like ice. "YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME YET." I screamed Hot tears running freely.
