A/N: Hey guys, sorry for not updating at all... I can be so pathetic... Which is why I decided to write an extra long chapter as well as a recap of the previous chapters.
So without further a due;
Recap:
Lucy Heartfilia completed a century quest after team Natsu had kicked her out of their group. During her month-long trip, she befriended a young man who turned out to be the wyvern she had to get rid of. Once turned human, the young man was named Wyvern Scales and, the pair returned to Fairy Tail where they discovered that Juvia was missing- no thanks to a certain ice-mage.
Fairy Tail Guild Hall
Lucy peered into the pot and her jaw dropped at what she saw. Juvia was definitely looking for Lucy but not in the way she expected. There she was, in the exotic country of Waibāndoragon, in the same town Lucy had found Wyvern in but she wasn't alone. She was with-
"That bastard! If he so much as thinks about laying a hand on her I will personal hunt him down and make sure he's tortured before I bring him to a long and tormenting death!" Gray growled behind Lucy, causing her to hide behind Wyvern. Wyvern then snarled at Gray making his scales appear over his arms and cheekbones.
"Wyvern, calm down. I'm fine", Lucy reassured him as she syncretized herself. Wyvern calmed down and his scales began to fade away slowly.
"That's it! I'm going after the two!" Gray huffed as he walked out of the guild hall.
"You lot should go with him as well!" Wyvern said bitterly. Before Natsu could throw a witty comeback, Erza silenced him with a glare before saying something herself.
"We won't stay where we're not welcome", She said before walking after Gray dragging Natsu behind her. Lisanna looked as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself. She walked off towards Natsu but then she suddenly turned around and ran back, shoving something into Lucy's hand before running off again. The whole time, Lucy had looked downwards, awkward around her old teammates. She unfolded the paper that Lisanna had given her and read the note.
Dear Lucy,
I'm really sorry for being the way I was a month ago. I was incredibly mean and it was me who started the conversation about you being kicked out;I was jealous that Natsu would only spend time with you despite the fact that I had been the one who was gone for so long. My sister explained many things to me during your absence and I hope you will forgive me for being an incredible bitch. I know what happened to Juvia and I also know why she went, where she went and who she went with- I just didn't know how to tell you. If you could met me outside Fairy Hills ASAP so that I can tell you in person.
Please accept my apology,
Lisanna
Lucy was dumbfounded. She had no idea that this was how Lisanna felt. She turned from the pot and began to walk across the hall. Wyvern joined her and the pair left the hall, heading towards the guild hall.
Fairy Hills
Wyvern watched from a small distance underneath a willow tree.
"I'm so glad you came Lucy! Please accept my apology! I treated you so bad but please forgi-"
"Lisanna I forgive you! And I'm sorry for not paying attention to you, especially since you hadn't seen anyone here for years. I hope we can still be friends though", Lucy smiled. The two girls embraced each other before walking up to where Wyvern was.
"You know the story between Gray and Juvia but even before that Juvia had been in contact Lyon for a while. She wanted to ask Gray if he'd go with her to Lamia Scale but Gray didn't listen. She came to me asking for directions to the other guild but I didn't know. She set off anyways and was so miserable. I would've gone after her but Erza and I had a fight... which resulted in me leaving their team", Lisanna said, pain clear to see across her face, "I'm sorry Lucy, I should've gone after her regardless but I.. didn't... I'm sorry"
Lucy thought for a moment. "Lisanna, how would you like to join our team? Me, Wyvern, you, Wendy and Juvia?" Lucy held out her hand and Lisanna gazed at it longingly. She smiled.
"Please?"
Lamia Scale One Month Ago
Lyon and his team were eating in a café nearby to their beloved guild. While Sherry Blendy was busy making goo-goo eyes at Lyon- and him trying to avoid eye-contact- Lyon spotted something, or rather someone, walking across the street. He suddenly got up from his chair and began walking out onto the street.
"Ju...? No It can't be..." He muttered as he continued walking across the street. He kept his gaze at the blue-haired mage, who was entering a shop on the other side of the street. Lyon began to quicken his pace, hoping that the mage was who he thought it was, and was soon running. He didn't see the magic-drawn cart rushing down the road towards him.
"Lyon!" Sherry screamed as her teammate jumping out of the cart's way just in time. Lyon gave a sheepish smile and apologised to the driver before ducking into the shop he saw the mage walk into.
Once inside, Lyon saw various posters of different haircuts and dye colours. He realised he was in a hair salon and looked around for the mage he saw. A familiar voice made him turn around.
"Juvia would like this one, please", He heard her say.
"Juvia?" He tapped the blue-haired mage's shoulder as she spun around, stunned.
"Lyon? Hello!" She greeted him. Though she smiled, Lyon could easily tell it was hollow and empty, a simple act of emotionless politeness.
"Juvia, why are you here?" Lyon asked her, concern written all over his face.
" Juvia came to visit Lyon. Juvia wished Gray would have come but Gray..." Juvia barely made a sound as she sniffled, but the older ice mage still heard.
" what did Gray do?" He frowned. Juvia shook her head and smiled a sorrowful, clumsy smile.
" It was nothing. Juvia stepped out of line and then Juvia overreacted. Juvia hoped Juvia and Lyon could spend time... Together?"
Lyon may be in for premature wrinkles with the way his brows were furrowing. " if it isn't that big of a deal, then why aren't you addressing Gray with the usual honorifics?!" He questioned a bit louder.
" Juvia shouldn't go after people uninterested in her. Juvia shouldn't waste time like that. Why should Juvia bother to give him the attention he wants if all he will do is yell at Juvia and humiliate her in front of the entire guild. Only Lucy would have helped Juvia ... But she's gone..."
" He did what?! Juvia, why are you so hung up on that bastard if he can't give you the respect you deserve?! And why are you in a hair salon anyways? You're hair looks beautiful the way it is. Cute and cropped to your shoulders! And the most gorgeous shade of azure-blue I've ever seen! Why change it?" Lyon wanted to bottle up the anger building up inside of him, to screw the lid on tight making sure every drop of rage was sealed, and then open it again to unleash his fury can upon the one who hurt his precious Juvia.
" Juvia needs a new style. If Juvia wants to forget Gray, Juvia. needs to forget Juvia's old look. What do you think of purple and silver highlight streaks?" She said in a monotone voice.
" Juvia..." Lyon looked at her face, directly into her enticing eyes and gave in," it sounds good. Come outside to the cafe opposite the street when your done. We can catch up then."
Lyon sighed as he exited the salon and sat back down in his seat across the road, avoiding the questioning glances his teammates were throwing at him
Outskirts of Magnolia, Present Day.
Wyvern was busy arranging hair clips in Wendy's hair as the pair waited for Lucy and Lisanna. "I will never understand adults. They always argue and fight, even though they're friends, and end up getting hurt."
Wyvern chuckled, " I don't get it either Wendy, but I'm learning. And so will you."
" But I'm still so short, not to mention flat... So how can I grow and learn?! Half the time every one treats Romeo as if he was older than me! And he's very much younger!"
Wyvern laughed as Wendy childishly frowned at him before giggling along. The pair didn't notice Lucy and Lisanna walk in and exchange glances.
" Are you guys all set?" Every one nodded and they set off. Lucy had vowed that she will find her old friend and help her new one too. She would give it her all no matter what it took from her.
Somewhere in Fiore
The scale shimmered with an evil aura. The owner sat on a magnificent chair, bored expression painted on his face. His platinum hair framed his face, covering his eyes and creating shadows. His cheekbones and jawline were sharp and quite frankly, intimidating.
" Lord Creed, we await your orders" his subordinate bowed. A ghost of a smile appeared on his face. He flicked his hand dismissively and resumed his passive expression. Had his features been a little softer, he would've looked exactly like alisanna Strauss.
