Lucy's POV
At Fairy Tail.
'Yo, long time, no see' I say as I walk into the guild known as Fairy Tail, my old home. 'LUUCCCYY' Natsu yelled as he ran up towards me. 'Yep it's me, it's good to see you again' I smiled and returned his hug. 'Lucy-san is it true what the magazine's say about you' Wendy asked as she greeted me with a hug, I nod my head. 'Yep, all of its true' I say happily as I look back at Jellal who is trying hard to restrain our son.
'So you and Jellal are really married, for how long' Erza asked, a spark of sadness in her tone. 'We've been together for seven and married for five' I state happily. 'Wow that's a pretty long time' Gray said as he looked from me to the rest of the people behind me.
'Oh, you probably want me to introduce these guys' I say as I point back to the four other people behind my husband and myself, the guild nods their heads. ' The blonde one is Sting Eucliffe, the light dragon slayer, the dark haired boy is Rogue Cheney, the shadow dragon slayer, these are the twins, the one that is in the bikini top is Aisu the ice dragon slayer and the one with her hair up is Mizu the water dragon slayer' I state proudly, at this the guild's eyes are popping and their jaws are on the floor.
'Four dragon slayers!, do you know where Igneel is' Natsu shouts at the four of them, they shake their heads sadly to indicate that they didn't know anything. 'Sorry Natsu-san' Sting says as he rubs the back of his neck, I place a hand on his shoulder in comfort. 'Its okay, I'll find him someday' and just like that, Natsu's happy once again, it amazes me how fast he's able to bounce back.
'So Lucy did you ever figure out what was going on with the council and the two that were having secret meetings' Laxus asks, wait Laxus? 'Hey, what the hell happened to you' I ask as I place a hand on my hip, he looks at me in surprise for a second trying to figure out what I meant but then realization hit him and he grinned sheepishly. 'I got caught up in Tenrou' he says with a small laugh as he rubs his neck, I shake my head at him.
'Oh well, anyways, a couple years back I finally had figured it out, the two had been making a plan to destroy the council with the help of some dark guild's, I just figured it out to late and when I arrived at the council building they were already under attack, but thanks to Jellal and myself we managed to stop them, and they are now in custody' I tell them, they look at me and Jellal in disbelief before nodding their heads.
'You certainly have changed Lucy' Makarov says proudly, small tears in his eyes as he looks upon my new family. 'Thank you Makarov' I bow to him as I say it. 'So tell us how you got to be at the head of the council' Ezra asks, as she pulls me out of my thoughts, I stare at them for a minute, and then I look back at my team who are all conversing with random people of the guild, Jace is playing with Mira and she keeps squealing every time he talks or does anything for that matter, and Jellal is sitting beside me with his arm draped over my shoulders, I'm sitting snuggly against him.
'Well as you four know' I started pointing at my ex-team and Wendy, they nodded for me to continue, 'I joined in the tenth seat after the mission they gave me, the one to destroy the two dozen dark guild's, after the first year I had moved to the second seat, the council had voted for it because of my knowledge, power and the way I got along with everyone in the council, and also because of the work my guild does, the people of Fiore were all for it as well so it was decided that I would be second in command' I paused to let that sink in, while doing so I looked to Jellal who was trying not to laugh at the faces they were making, he gave me a quick peck on the cheek and returned to staring at everyone.
'Okay, and so after the second year I had moved to the first seat, meaning I deal with the guild's in Fiore as you already know' I said eyeing Makarov, he gulped and I chuckled softly. 'The people of Fiore weren't liking the way that the previous first seat was acting, and neither were the rest of the council members, so they voted again and thus here I am, head of the council, but no longer am I the youngest, after the incident with Jiro and Hideki I appointed two new council members, Akio Hiro and Keith Kenji, I also came here to ask a certain ice mage something' I said, everyone raised an eyebrow, Jellal knew what was coming, we had talked a lot about it and we decided it would be an excellent idea, he was smart, and although around Natsu he was a bit of an idiot, I felt like he would be a good choice in this matter, he had time to learn, plus he was powerful, even if he didn't know it yet.
'And what's that child' Makarov asked suspiciously. 'Hellas and I have talked a lot about this, but recently the tenth council seat has opened' I paused, their eyes widening, I stood up and looked the ice mage in the eye.
'Gray Fullbuster, I Lucy Fernandez, head of the magic council and leader of the ten wizard saints, master of the guild Heavens Vanguard, offer you the tenth seat of the magic council' I said sternly. He blinked, then choked on his spit, then he fell over and his ghost flew out of his mouth. 'I knew that would happen' Jellal said, laughing, I rolled my eyes at him. 'Hey wait why popsicle' Natsu said angrily.
'I agree, Lucy do you think that's wise' Makarov asked, Ezra nodding in agreement. 'Don't look down on Lucy's way of thinking, we've been talking about this ever since you've come back, the other council members already agree that he is the best choice, and they will go with whatever Lucy decides' Jellal states sternly, I thank him for sticking up for me. By now Gray is up and listening intently to the conversation.
'Wh-why me though' he asks curiously, 'I mean I don't mind doing it, I'd love to, but why me' he adds on. 'Gray, I've known you for a long time, you are smart, you are able to think things through, when you put your mind to something it will get done, no matter what, you have so much potential and could help lead this country to greatness, I believe you were the best choice, and you will only grow wiser and stronger as time goes on...so what do you say Gray Fullbuster, will you take then tenth seat and become a council member' I ask, he looks thoughtful for before answering.
'You believe that I'm worth it, really?' He asks still unsure. By this point half the guild is knocked out in shock, and Natsu is fuming with jealousy. 'Yes, I'm positive you are capable of great things, I want you to take the tenth seat' I say seriously, Jellal squeezes my shoulder I look at him to see his smiling face looking back at me, we both turn back to Gray.
'I accept... I'll take the seat' he says seriously, I squeal which causes him and Jellal to cover their ears and laugh as my attitude goes to a less serious one. 'Then welcome to the council, you are now Gray Fullbuster, ice make mage and tenth seat of the magic council, it will be a pleasure working with you again' I say as I take out a parcel for him.
'Whats this' he asks, as I hand it to him, I show him a bracelet, since he strips all the time I can't give him a cloak or a pin, it has a blue cross on it which is the symbol of the magic council. 'This is the symbol for the magic council, you must wear it at all times, as it is your identification when you come for meetings, I couldn't get you a pin or cloak because you'll strip out of them, meetings for the council take place once twice every month, once on the second and another on the twentieth, you must show up to both, meetings usually don't last long just a couple hours unless something big is happening, usually meetings take place midday, for the first month i will come collect you, understood' I asked with a raised eyebrow, he had already slipped the bracelet on and was staring at it and then at me, he nodded his head.
'Right then' I nodded at him again and settled back into my seat, the guild calmed down a little while after and Makarov announced that he wanted to have a party for Gray for becoming a council member, their return and for Jellal and I, we happily agreed to join in the partying. I stayed by Jellal all night and eventually we put Jace up in the infirmary because he had fallen asleep and I didn't want to leave yet.
We stayed and celebrated with Fairy Tail for the remainder of the evening.
