The boys of the thunder legion spent almost a week with Lucy on her mountain. They all would train together every day, each testing their own mettle against the stars. Laxus and Capricorn developed a close bond, both being quiet and brooding most of the time. Freed got to spend some time with Grandpa Crux, asking questions about his own demon, which he'd been working very hard with and had developed an almost seamless existence with. Bickslow probably had the most fun, flirting endlessly when Aries and Virgo were around, just to piss off the playboy lion spirit.

They'd each asked her to tag along to Bosco with them at various points throughout the week and she was actually thinking of going. She'd always dreamed of meeting Arman Pradesh, and seeing White Sea was something she'd had on her bucket list for nearly as long. Her one true wish was that she still had Aquarius with her. She knew the mermaid would absolutely love to be summoned in the waters of the Grass Sea.

"I'll go," she whispered in a voice so soft everyone almost missed it. She was honestly shocked at herself for even saying it and would've acted like she hadn't if Laxus wouldn't have heard her.

"I was hoping you'd change your mind blondie. It's not good to isolate yourself like you've been doing." The lightning slayer had a far off look on his face, recalling a time when he, too, was cut off from everyone. "I'd be the first to tell you it gets you nowhere but in a dark place."

"Yeah, I guess I have locked myself in my tower for a few months to long. So, I'll come to white sea with you guys." At this she could see the big grin on the seith mage's face and thought it best to intervene before he got the wrong impression. "But, I'm not staying. Maybe a week or two but that's it. I still feel like i'm supposed to be here, but I do realize that it's not healthy to stay here alone so much."

With that, they all decided they'd use Laxus to lightning jump to Bosco the next day. Lucy's spirits were all proud of their holder's decision. They could feel her urgency about staying here, and they may have known a thing or two that she didnt, but they were still happy that she was sticking with her friends and fulfilling some of her life's dreams. Aquarius was a little miffed that she was going to miss out on the Grass Sea, but she knew the blonde would get her back eventually, and she'd demand to be taken back there.

The day they were leaving it was the perfect weather for Laxus to get the maximum range of a jump, stormy. With all the moisture and static in the air Cancer had insisted he braid both Lucy and Freed's hair to keep it from going wild on their trip. Virgo was the next spirit to make an appearance, only popping out long enough to take the little luggage the guys had back to the spirit world. Loke was the last to come out.

"Lucy, my princess, I want you to enjoy yourself on this trip and don't go falling for any hot boscans while you're there," the serious look in his eye was in conflict with the curve of his lips. "We want you to have fun, you're going to meet a lot of wonderful people." With that, the lion spirit bent down to kiss the back of her hand and vanished into golden sparks.

Lucy was a bit suprised at his actions. Usually he fawns all over her, even if they'd developed a brother/sister bond. This Loke was different. Almost like he was putting on a front and it disturbed the blonde greatly, but she decided if there was something important that needed to be said, her spirits would say it to her. Internal debate over with, she turned her megawatt smile on the other blonde in the group who was currently pulling on Freed's braid.

"Ready to blow this joint Sparky?" The other blonde lifted one arm as a sign for her to come closer, and his other arm wrapped around the green haired man, who seemed to have grown just a bit, or Lucy just had never realized how tall all three men were.

"Thought you'd never ask Blondie," the last thing Lucy could make out was Bickslow cackling. She could feel the sparks and static running across her skin, small jolts would hit from time to time, and she could tell they were moving very quickly.

Then, like they'd collided into a brickwall, they were halted in their tracks. Lucy clenched her eyes and tried to will her stomach to hold its contents while the three men were just fine, obviously having done this many times.

"Huh, you must be getting good bossman, right to the front door." With that the seith mage walked right into the large mansion they'd quite literally landed in the front yard of.

"Told ya not to doubt me with that storm blowing threw," the blonde retorted as he, too, followed the other man inside.

Freed walked over and rubbed Lucy's back in soothing circles, knowing how it felt to travel by the lightning for the first time.

"It gets easier Lucy, not at first, but once your body gets used to all the electricity moving through you, then you won't get sick like this anymore." Seeing the thumbs up the blonde had given him, Freed went off in search of the other two, leaving the blonde still sitting in the yard by herself.

Lucy was just listening to the sounds of everything around her. The soothing sound of the waves lapping on the shore of the Grass Sea in the backyard, the sound of the yard hands playing some kind of game with a ball, and someone walking right up to her. At that realization she popped her eyes open, forgetting that the sun was high in the sky and blinding.

"Well well well, what has my brother brought in this time? First one blonde and now another? I'm going to have to start going to visit him more often if you two are the measure of his company!" Lucy really couldn't make out much of the man, just that he appeared tall. Other wise he was just a big black silhouette.

"And you are?" she asked only to get a chuckle in response.

"Come on, I'll take you inside to where the others are, I believe they're waiting on you," with that, the mysterious man helped Lucy to her feet and began to lead her into the mansion to find the others.
