A/N HEY ITS ME AGAIN, HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THIS CHAPTER! IM SKIPPING OVER THE THREE MONTHS AND JUST GOING TO THE NIGHT BEFORE THEY LEAVE WHERE THEY MEET MEREDY AND ULTEAR! XD ARNT YOU JUST DYING OF EXITMENT!
LUCY POV
I sighed as thought about the three months that had passed. I had endured each and every insult from Natsu and Lissana but now it only seemed to sink in...what did I do to deserve this? I'm sure that Lisssna knows that I have no interest in Natsu but he has none for Lissana...it's such a pitty, two black hearts come together can change into one bright white heart...shame.
I went on a midnight walk (everyone was drunk but I was shocked that everyone didn't act like it well, except Natau and Lissana) and shivered against the cold. I sighed, if only Gajeeel was here...he had done some private training in a faraway forest and would get back tomorrow, it hurt me so much when that happened. I could have gone with him but Master wanted me to stay with Lissana and Natsu to keep an eye on them.
I sighed as I heard a rustle in the bush beside me, which were actually quite tall. I ducked out the way when an orb had shot for me. What? After I had stood up the orb had swirled around me. I went to touch it but it went back into the bushes. What was inside the bushes?
I moved the bushes in two. "Who's there?" When nothing answered i put one foot inside. "Dont worry, I won't hurt you" I was going to put my whole body through when I was thrown to the ground by a squealing pink haired girl. Who is this person? I pushed her off me and I readied an attack only to stop as soon as I saw her face...Meredy.
"Meredy!" She giggled and nodded. "Wait...so an orb? Is-" I was cut of by someone shouting out. "Meredy! Where are you?" I giggled and so did Meredy. "Ultear help me! I've been captured!" I wrapped my arms around Meredy while she squealed, I was tickling her. "Meredy! Hold on!" As soon as Ultear made her way out of the bushes she froze.
"Long time no see, Ultear" I smiled and let go of Meredy as Ultear ran forward and hugged me. "Lucy!" I hugged her back and placed her behind me when some one else came out he bushes...I almost fainted this time. "Jellal?!" I sighed. "I thought you were in jail!" He chuckled. "It has been seven years Lucy" I blushed for being do stupid. "Ooh! Does Lulu have a crush-" I slapped her mighty shut and glared at her. "Like hell! I've already got a partner!"
OMeredy nodded, I growled when she was about to speak again. I heard a twig snap behind me. "Oh Lucy, you hooker! You're out here with another two sluts and another guy! You slutty whore! I wonder how Gajeel is going to react to this?" I glared at her but she was flat on the ground the next. "Gajeel!" I ran up to him and hugged him. "I missed you!" I started crying comically.
"You left me for three months you Baka!" I started punching his chest. He grabbed my hands which made me look up at him, and he kissed me. We stayed like this until we ran out of oxygen. Someone coughed behind Gajeel. I turned and saw Erza, Wendy, Gray and Elfman...the brother of that bitch. "Do not worry about Elfman, I have told him that if he even thinks about helping Lissana...he won't have any proof of being a man" I grinned at Erza, still the same.
"Fair enough, but there is someone you'll want to meet" Jellal tried to hide but I grabbed the collar of this cloak. "I don't-" she gasped, her hands flying to her face when she saw the locks of blue, the red ink forever staining his face and the brown eyes that are unmistakable. I smiled when they started walking towards each other unconsciously.
We all left and they still didn't notice. But in the way back I could see Elfman look hesitant and I sighed. "You can take Lissana with us...I won't do anything" he grinned and shouted. "Lucy is man!" I rolled my eyes and could have sworn I heard evergreen say. "Who said that!?" In the distance. What the fuck? We had all made it back to our camp and Ultear had taught us how to unleash our second half of magic power but I had a little problem...
Gajeel had to camp out in the damp woods. "I'll stay with you then" he shook his head. "No! You're not coming sigh me, I'm letting you. You deserve better than a wet tent in the dark forest" I scoffed. "Please, like there is anything you can say to change my mind" he sighed and before I was about to step in a huge puddle, Gajeel lifted me up, princess style.
I blushed and hid myself in his chest, he chuckled. "I love it when I make you blush" I blushed even more. "Shut up" I pouted and he carried me to his tent and he set me on the floor of the tent. "How bout this" I waved my hand and the tent had changed into a much bigger tent which was dry and a barrier was placed around it.
However it was still cold. I shivered under the blanket and Gajeel rolled over. He was half asleep and he stared at me. He wrapped his arm around me and held me close. I blushed and hesitantly wrapped my arm around him. I felt his red piercing eyes in me. "If you were cold, you should have said so" I melted at the sound of his voice, it made my insides warm up and I blushed, hiding my face, once again, in his chest. We stayed like this the whole night and I revelled in the little time I had to spend with Gajeel.
Soon the morning came and I frowned when i felt the empty space next to me. "Rise and shine Bunny girl" I growled and threw a pillow at him. "What did I tell you about calling me that!?" He chuckled and I couldn't help but chuckled slightly as well. "When did you get up?" He stretched while sighing. "I got up about half an hour ago" I pouted. "And you couldn't stay with me?"
There was a sudden flash and I quickly got up and out the tent to see an angry Laxus growling at he tent. "GAJEEL!" He growled coming out the tent. "WHAT!?" Laxus sighed. "You left me with the demon barmaid! She wouldn't quick yappin on about you and Pr-" "Call me by that name and I swear-" "Princess" I growled, almost going feral but Gajeel scooped me up in his arms and missed my forehead. "Shouldn't you be getting back to your camp?" I sighed and frowned. "I guess so..."
I stsrted walking away, depressed that Gajeel wouldn't be joining me. "Goodbye!" I waved at both of them and walked to my camp. I kicked a stone in the path on my way, it was childish but I missed him already. I smiled as I thought about our story. It was strange. He kidnapped me, beat me up and now we're in love. Very strange indeed.
Luck wasn't on my side today. By the time I got to my camp, everyone else was awake and packing up, mine was already gone. I had requipped it so it would be out of the way. Yet it was another thing that I was criticised on. "Hey you freak! Make mine disappear too!" I smashed the rock I was fiddling with and "Shut up NATSU!" I gave him a deathly glare and he shut up. I asked Erza which hotel we were staying at and she told me it was the Honeybone Hotel so I just decided to transport myself there and get each of us a room.
"Hi um can I get...two big rooms?" The woman at the counter smiled at me. "You're in luck! We have two suits available, ten beds in each room!" I grinned. "That's great! How much will that be?" I prepared myself, I knew it was going to be a huge amount. "Ip that makes a total of 1 million jewels! However, these rooms give you free access to our spa, and all of your food and drinks are free!" I smiled at her. Just as I was about to get my money out, something flashed behind me.
Huh? "Here you go Princess!" I turned around and sweatdropped when I saw Virgo bowing to me with a bag of money in her hands. "Virgo!" I hugged her, she placed the money on the counter. "Goodbye Mistress" she then disappeared. I gasped when I fell to hit floor. I guess I deserved that, for not opening her gate as often. I sighed as I turned around, the lady gave me the keys and a few booklets and I thanked her as I transported back to the camp site where everyone was waitin for me.
I appeared on a rock, twirling the keys around my fingers and Wendy gasped. "Lucy sama! How did you..." I smirked. "Thats for me to know and you to not find out" I poked her forehead and grinned. I jumped up off the rock. "What are we waiting for?" And we set off for the train.
I ended up sitting in a booth with Erza, Wendy, Charle and Gray. I thanked God for that. I zoned out of the conversation and rested my head on my hand and sighed. I stared out the window, wishing the train could go faster and suddenly the speed had picked up...weird.
I turned my attention to my mind and thought about Dad...oh how I missed the Dragon realm. But I can't let Natsu know about it, he'd end up searching the world for the entrance when I'm the only one who can open the gate, well and Dad. It was weird calling him Dad because I was used to saying Papa but even that didn't last long. I sighed. My thoughts drifted to my mother...I wish I could see her one more time.
I just didn't know why she had to go...she was kind, beautiful, generous, friendly and very persuasive. I smiled at that thought. She had always changed Pa-Jude's mind. There wasn't a time I could remember where Jude had went against mother. It was funny. All she had to do was pout and bat her eyelashes and Jude couldn't say no...if only it stayed that way.
I sighed again. But I was suddenly involved in the conversation. "Isn't that right Lucy!" I looked at Erza. "Hmm?" She rolled her eyes. "I said, you got the keys for the hotel and paid for them ages ago" I sighed. "Oh um yeah..." Erza frowned. "Are you feeling okay Lucy?" I mumbled an answer, but she didn't hear me. "Pardon?" I sighed. "Just peachy" she stared at me, knowing something was wrong but didn't press the issue. I was thinking about last night, when we had unlocked our second 'container' of magic...
I had closed my eyes and followed Ultear's instructions. She said we should have entered a blank space but for some reason I had entered a room that was white but the room had millions of pictures of me and lots of other people and some dragons. I quickly realised that these were all my memories. There was one on the floor and I picked it up, smiling when I remembered this day.
The day Natsu had moved the cherry blossom tree for me...I cherished these memories, until I came across one that I didn't recognise, I don't understand. There's me, Lissana and Levy. We were all laughing and having fun, but as I picked it from the wall, the picture started moving. It was playing the memory.
It was all fun and games until one sentence came out of Lissana's mouth. "I'm so glad that I'm much stronger than both of you!" That was when hell broke loose. Words were thrown back and forth but I was relieved when it showed that we had made up but then it dissapeared. What? The memory had then gone back to the first image and stuck itself back onto the wall.
The pictures had then flown away because of a huge gust of wind. No. My memories! The strong wind had almost blown me away but I managed to keep myself up. Who is doing this? It seemed every step I took, the wind got weaker. I kept walking forward, toward the wind not away from it. After my last step it stopped.
After trying to use some magic, I realised that I couldn't. There was a bright light behind me and I turned around, only to shield my eyes. "What?..." The light had slowly darkened and I moved my hand to see...my mother! I raced towards her, to hug her. "Mom!" Only to jump through her...no.
She smiled, turning around to me. "You're so weak Lucy, I'm ashamed of you" My eyes widened and I gasped. "You don't mean that..." She scowled at me. It didn't suit her. "You were a mistake! I would have preferred your brother from you!" I growled back. "You aren't my mother!" She smirked. "Oh I am! But I wish I wasn't!" I roared. "MY MOTHER WOULD NEVER SAY THAT!" I ran through the imposter and it faded away.
I turned around to see a dark space but I heard someone slowly clapping. "Who's there!" It chuckled. "I'm impressed. I thought you would cry like a spoiled brat." "Show yourself!" I was getting really bored with this. "I can't do that. But I can tell you this. If I grant you your second half of magic, you would be incapable of controlling it in this world." Then why was I here? Surely I should have just woken up.
"But, I can grant it to you when you are in need of great magical power, but you have to return to the dragon realm as soon as that power starts to come back to you. You won't have very long...this is your only warning. You cannot imagine the dangers" it had gotten blurry and I had awoken.
That was a weird memory but I just pushed that to the back of my mind. I started thinking about master and what he told me. That there would be a second team, so it was only lucky when everyone was drunk so they didn't notice Gajeel that much. In fact nobody had mentioned it. "Hey Lucy, was it just my imagination or was Gajeel with us last night?" Until now.
I smiled at her. "It was most likely just your imagination, I mean you did loose your head over Jellal" I dodged a flying book, headed for my head. "Shut it Blondie!" I growled at Erza. "What did you say you red headed slut!" She slammed her fists on the table. "You heard me! You anorexic whore!" I grinned. "Well maybe I didn't! You fucking bitch!" She bit her lip. And stood up.
"Say that again youk-" we burst out laughing. I clutched my stomach, I was going to sit down but I tripped over Gray, who was sleeping, and fell in the opposite booth. I was still laughing, and Erza laughed at me even more. I looked up and saw that I had landed in Natsu's lap. But right now my stomach hurt too much for me to care. I saw his face and laughed even more.
I eventually got up, with the help of Erza who was still laughing. Which only made me laugh even more. "Sorry, haha, everyone HAHA!" I couldn't stop laughing! Me and Erza had finally stopped laughing when the train stopped. I grinned at her, and she smiled at me. "Oh that was great" she nodded. "It was too funny, it reminded me of Gray and Natsu's pointless fights!" We looked at each other and started laughing again!
"SHUT UP!" That came from Gray. We both turned around and glared at him. "Pardon?!" He gulped, sweating. "Um, you can continue laughing as much as you like!" We smi,ed at him, both patted his head and linked each other's arms. "Good" I had raced Erza to the hotel. I had tripped her over a few meters before we reached the hotel, she had requipped her bags.
I turned around, laughing in her face when I bumped into someone and fell over, and Erza instead of laughing, came over and helped me up. "Watch where you're going weaklings!" I growled at him, pun him him in the gut before I thought about it. "WEAKLINGS!? Does it look like I'm WEAK?!" I snarled at him and he ran away, serves him right. I grinned. Erza pointed behind me, her face pale "Lucy, uh, turn around" there was a crowd of people, I saw Natsu in the middle and some strange people too.
I made my way through the crowd. Grabbing Natsu but he ended up making his fist almost fly into my face, almost. I caught it in time. "NATSU! You little fucker!" I growled and he growled back at me, pointing to the guys in front of him. "Shut it, you bitch! These guys were hating on our guild!" I snapped.
"I don't give a damn right now! YOURE DEAD MEAT NATSU DRAGNEEL!" I punched him in the face and kicked him in the back before throwing him over to Erza to deal with. "Now, I apologise for his rudeness, he won't bother you again, I'll personally see to that" I smiled at the end. They gulped. I grinned as I walked away. I turned around after a few steps and smiled. "I look forward to competing against Sabers!" I waved as I walked away, leaving them speechless.
STING POV
Holy SHIT! I turned to Rogue. "Did you see how hot she was!" He showed no emotion. "Yes, she has very beautiful features" I smirked. "But did you see how she beat up Natsu sama!? I think I have a new role model!" I grinned when I saw her walking away. That ass...
I looked at Rogue, confused"How did she know we were from Sabertooth?" He sighed. "She obviously must have seen your guild mark and recognised it" I nodded, so beauty, strength and brains! She's the ultimate package! She's the only girl who's worthy of my power. I've gotta have her.
"At least my idol, is strong enough to stay my idol..." Rogue walked away before I could say anything to him. Fuck you Rogue!
LUCY POV
I sighed as I flopped onto my bed, it was midnight and I had spent the day with Erza and Wendy, we got flower necklaces from the festival and tried loads of things, like food and saw cherry blossoms! It was great but I was still pumping with energy and exitment! The ground had started shaking and I gasped as I had been transported to another area...
