5 months after Lucy left...
Lisanna walked into the guild, swaying her hips as she does so. Causing Carla to gag a little. The white haired mage then proceeded to her team's table, and flung herself onto Natsu, showering his face with kisses which Natsu appreciated heartfully.
Gajeel looked at Natsu awfully and threw the iron spoon away. Wendy looks at him and said, "It's not good to waste food, Gajeel-san." Gajeel clicked his tongue and replied gruffly. "I've lost my appetite because of them! How do you expect me to finish it!?"
The guild was rowdy as always. Tables and chairs strewn about, people chatting loudly, drinkers cheering and clashed their mugs, mages fighting over minor incidents, Natsu and Lisanna making out, and everyone is laughing happily. But to Gajeel and the others, it was a hellish place. Juvia sworn that she saw Lisanna being replaced with Lucy. Carla isn't reprimanding Gajeel for being reckless with his meal, Lily doesn't feel like training, and Happy isn't eating fish and is not happy. Wendy fidgeted in her seat. Levy is scribbling away on Lucy's novel, looking up at the door from time to time, hoping a certain blonde would slam the door open with a big smile on her face. And it is raining outside due to Juvia's sulking form.
Makarov looked at them from a distance and sighed. He looked from Team Natsu to them, and scratched his head. What am I suppose to do to brighten them up!? He sighed again. If only Lucy is here...
Lucy...
Lucy...?
Lucy...!
That's right! Makarov's eyes widened when he thought about the blonde's name. Maybe if I get them to create a new group, then that means...!
He got off the table and walked towards the four mages and three exceeds. "Levy." The said girl looked up. "How is the novel going?"
The seven of them were surprised. "I-it's coming up good..." She stuttered, putting her pen down. Makarov hummed and nodded, then turned his head to Gajeel. "Gajeel. Have you been eating well?" Gajeel muttered a "yeah" before looking at the door.
"Wendy. How is your healing magic going?"
"Um... it has improved and... I can heal broken bones now and cast Troia on a longer amount of time... but it will take a heavy toll on me."
"That's good. Keep up with the work." Wendy nodded. "Juvia." The water magic user looked at Makarov before she shook her head. "No, master. Juvia is not after Gray anymore. If Juvia were to be after anyone, Juvia would go after Lucy-san." Makarov nodded his head in approval, completely satisfied with Juvia's answer.
He turned to the exceeds and smiled. "Lily. Would you like some money from me to buy a new sword?"
"Huh?"
"Carla. Can you teach everyone here to stand up for themselves?"
"Eh?"
"And Happy. Can you please smile?"
"Huh?"
They all looked at Makarov as if he grew another head. Levy focused her attention on Makarov, then she asked. "Master, what is on your mind?"
"Well, this have been bothering me ever since that day." They all looked down in sadness and anger. "I was wondering... if you guys want to make a new team?" Gajeel looked at the short old man with a raised eyebrow. "What?"
Makarov looked at Juvia. "Juvia. You said that if you were to be after anyone, you would go after Lucy, right?" Juvia was taken back and stuttered. "Well... yeah..."
Carla's ears perked and stood up. "Master... don't tell me..." She got cut off by Makarov clearing his throat. "Yes." He sat on the table. "If you would go after Lucy, you will not go alone. You go with a true family. I had enough of all of you sulking because of Lucy. I want all of you back on your feet, going after Lucy. Even if Lucy doesn't want to come back, we will have to drag her limbs." The exceeds looked at each other before Lily 'hmped' and smirked, Carla smile and Happy grin.
"If you are gonna sulk just because Lucy ain't here, you might as well go with her in the first place. If you want revenge, why not act now? Lisanna had made her move turning Fairy Tail into an "Anti-Lucy" guild, then make your move into turning Fairy Tail into an "Anti-Lisanna" Guild and take Lucy back!" Wendy and Levy looked at each other, hope and fire in their eyes. Gajeel made his signature chuckle and got up. Juvia finally smiled widely, making the rain outside the guild to stop.
They notice Lisanna look out at the window and exclaimed. "Guys! The rain had stopped! Now we all can finally go on a mission without worrying about getting wet anymore!" Everyone cheered and most of them got out of their seats to the mission board, scrambling for the ones with the highest pay. Makarov sighed and glanced back at them. "Well, you better start discussing about creating a new team in Lucy's old apartment. I'll be here as always and you can find me here anytime. Also, while you all are there, do something about your appearances." The girls looked at each other and blushed heavily, causing Gajeel to laugh. Makarov smiled and walked off to his usual seat where he drinks.
Levy slammed her hands on the table and got up. "Alright, guys! We're going back to Lu-chan's apartment!" They all packed their things and got out of the guild. "Mira-san! We're going out and won't be back until tomorrow!" Wendy didn't turn around to look at the take over mage who yelled back in approval.
BAM
"Uh... Gajeel, you don't have to kick the door open like that, Wendy has the key." Levy sweat dropped as Gajeel plopped onto the couch. "Meh, who cares?"
The rest of the team walked in and took seat on the couch, chair and floor. "So," Levy took out a piece of paper, her specs on face. "We create a new team. So what we need first is a name."
Juvia looked at her new team mates, den she looked at the paper, then she looked at the walls of the apartment and found some pictures that has Lucy in them. Juvia got up and walked to the walls. She stroked the pictures gently and smiled. "Lucy-san... has really bright smiles..."
Levy smiled and took the picture. "Yeah." Then their eyes landed on a small box that Lucy didn't take. "Hey, what's that?" Levy asked. She took the box and opened it. Inside is filled with letters of different colours.
"Eh... eh?" Juvia took one blue letter and read it, her eyes widened and turned to her new team mates. "These are letters that Lucy-san write to her mother!"
Gajeel took the paper and read it. "If these are important to her, why didn't she take these with her?
...
Dear Mama, I'm so excited! Today is my first birthday since I'm in Fairy Tail! Oh, I hope Natsu remembers it! Maybe not... that flame brain never remembers anything. But the rest of the guild will! Yeah! Happy just slammed his face into my window just to say 'Happy Birthday'. I'm going to help him now and go to the guild. I'll write more later, mama!
Love, Lucy."
Everyone stared at Gajeel as if he grew a second head. Gajeel looked up on instinct and looked back at them. "What?" The blue haired girls covered their mouth. "Oh my Mavis..." Wendy stuttered.
"GAJEEL JUST READ! HE JUST READ A LETTER!"
Gajeel stared at them with a dead panned face and muttered an "eh?". Wendy then took another letter and read it. She looked up at the exceeds and whispered, "She written so many of what happened ever since she joined Fairy Tail..."
There is a pregnant silence between them until Levy took all the letters from the others and slammed the box shut. "All these damn things are gonna make me cry..." Then everyone stared at Levy. "Woah ho ho! The shrimp just cursed, man!" Gajeel chuckled.
Levy slammed Gajeel's head onto the table before she smiled at Juvia, Wendy and the exceeds. "So, what do you think we should name our new team?" The two bluenettes and the exceeds sweat dropped as they thought, Levy. Is. Scary. "Well?" Levy asked again, cocking her head to her right, giving them a closed eyed smile.
Gajeel got up and screamed at Levy. "SHRIMP, I SWEAR MY HEAD'S GONNA BREAK, DON'T DO THAT!"
"But Gajeel..." Levy sighed, giving the iron dragon slayer a dead panned face. "Your entire face is covered in piercings. How is your head gonna break if your face can withstand the pain of a piercing pierced into your face when you were just a kid?"
"Uh..." Gajeel was left speechless. Out of all times, he gotta admit, the damn shrimp is right. Maybe he should stop calling her by her own name now. "Fine, you win." Levy continued staring at Gajeel until he finally muttered a word.
"...ters..." Levy leaned in a little. "What was that, Gajeel? Speak up now." Gajeel raised his voice a little, "I said "Letters"." Juvia and Wendy looked at each other before Happy made a sound. "I think that is good!"
"Yeah... but why 'Letters' out of all names to pick out?" Juvia looked at the exceeds. "Maybe it's the very first word that comes into Gajeel-san's mind and he just thought it's better than saying nothing because he don't want to get his head banged onto the table again."
Gajeel turned to Juvia, horrified. "What!? No!" He denied. "Isn't that what we just saw!? Motherfucking letters! And they are based off Bunny Girl's feelings!" Levy grabbed Gajeel's hair and yanked his head down to meet her eye level. "Don't... call Lu-chan Bunny Girl." She growled.
Gajeel shivered before stepping away from the bookworm. "Who are you and what have you done with the old Levy?" Wendy asked. Levy looked back at her. "The Goody-Levy is trampled by the White-Tigress, now Badass-Levy has emerged." Levy took of her reading glasses.
"It's about time we change, Wendy."
"Achoo!" Lucy sneezed, rubbing her nose. "What's wrong?" She looked up to find her father staring down at her. "Nothing. Probably someone talking about me."
"Maybe it's Fairy Tail!" Kyoko hissed, her hair bristled. Lucy sweat dropped before smiling. "Well, it's probably Levy-chan and the others who saw me off."
Miesiac looked out of the window and saw that the rain had stopped. "Well now that the rain stopped, let's start Lucellia's training." Lucy followed Miesiac out of his house while Kyoko skipped behind.
