Jellal P.O.V.

I released my thought projection magic and returned to the world around me. I thought about those two. I was honestly considering forgetting about the R-System and going to find Erza. What would Sho, Millianna, and Wally think? I know Simon would be angry with me. He loves her, too. I looked within my memories and remembered the guild she was from. Fairy Tail, could that be where all my dreams come true?

"Jellal," She said to me. "Were you thinking of Sis?"

"You could tell?" I guess I'm getting soft. "Yeah, I was. I know where she is, Sho. What if we forget about this stupid tower and go to Erza?"

"Shall I go tell the others we are leaving?" He smiled.

"Yes, please. We're abandoning the Tower of Heaven." I smirked. Just you wait Erza, I'm coming home to you!

Lucy P.O.V.

Laxus and I were at the bar with his "little minions" as he liked to call them. Freed was talking up Mira and Bixlow was looking at me in a way that made my skin crawl, even though I couldn't see his eyes I just knew he was the one staring at me.

"Laxu, thanks for the ride home and coming to get me. And I'm sorry I didn't take you with me." I hugged his arm, knowing this was his weakness.

"Tch, well whatever. You're mine so well, I had to do it. It's nothing really." He blushed slightly. "Bixlow, quit staring at her and go look at some other girl."

I sniffed the air which smelled more metallic than normal. I turned my head to the rest of the guild to see Gajeel and a blue-haired girl staring at Gray. I tugged on Laxus' sleeve. Fear was beginning to set in.

Laxus noticed it too and stood up in front of me. "What is scum like you doing here? Back for another beating?"

"Juvia is here because she needs Gray-sama!" the bluenette squealed when she saw Gray. He was walking over to me. He boldly took my hand and kissed it like a gentleman.

"Lucy, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked with sincerity written across his face.

"I-" I started before the bluenette cut me off.

"You are Juvia's Love Rival! We shall fight for Gray-sama."

"Um, no thanks, I have Laxus. You can have Gray." I said tiredly. I was still regaining my magic energy, I was still low.

"Lucy! You rejected me for him?!" Gray cried.

"Yes," I snuggled into Laxus' open arm and smiled weakly. "Sorry."

"Why is he here?" Laxus growled at Gajeel.

"Juvia brought him here. He said that he needed work." Juvia answered.

"Gramps!" Laxus and I shouted.

"What, you noisy brats?!" Master yelled from the second floor.

"We have two people requesting to join our guild, Master." Mira smiled, breaking her conversation with Freed. Freed looked happy just to be near her. I smiled at this on the inside.

I felt Laxus begin to spark with lightning. I glanced into his eyes. I was they were twitching between normal and dragon-like. "No, Laxus. Not here." I hugged his arm, finally getting his attention. "Laxus, if they join the guild, then they can't hurt us anymore."

"Yeah, in theory." He responded.

"I will allow you two to join. However, like everyone here, you must swear to protect your comrades." Gramps said sternly.

Juvia nodded enthusiastically. "I'll protect all of them to be near Gray!"

I nodded at Laxus who had been staring at me. He nodded as well and stood up facing Gajeel.

"You came and destroyed our guild hall. Attack my family and nearly killed Lucy and Gramps." Laxus glared at the two. "You're so lucky Lucy is way more forgiving than I am. I don't forgive that easily." Laxus swung at Gajeel. Gajeel didn't make a move, he just took the punch that made him fly through the guild doors.

"I guess I deserve that." I heard him say. "I take it I can find work here, then?"

I stopped Laxus from swinging at him again. "Redfox, Juvia, Welcome to Fairy Tail!" I smiled at Juvia, avoiding a glance at Gajeel.

Juvia ran and hugged me. "Thank-you! I promise I won't ever hurt this guild!"

I returned her hug. "I know you won't. You're family now, we protect and forgive each other."

She began to cry in my embrace, I could tell she truly regretted her actions during the Phantom Lord attack. She was hiccupping and her eyes were blood-shot by the time she let go of me. Thank-you, Love Rival!"

"Anytime. I can tell you're remorseful. I know that you're sorry." I smiled at her.

She stepped away from me and returned my smile. It grew loud with celebration. Gajeel was looking awkward and looked around until he spotted Levy. He walked over to her, everyone quickly quieted down.

"G-Gajeel!" Levy squeaked.

Gajeel just blinked at her.

"Can I help you?" She squeaked again.

"You. Me. Job. Now." He growled.

She nodded slightly before grabbing a request of the board with even looking at it. Gajeel had already left and she ran after him once she smiled apologetically to Jet and Droy.

"Well, they are awfully chummy." Laxus and I said bluntly. "Must be a blossoming couple."

The guild stared at us. "What!?"

Laxus sighed. "Come on. Tell me you've noticed it. He and she just connected. It's obvious."

I giggled.

"What?" Laxus rounded on me.

"Nothing." I answered with a smile.

"Tell me, woman!"

I knew he didn't like secrets. It was just in his nature. "It's just funny. You changed since I left the guild. I've been told you were very distant from your friends. So, you tell me. How do you know about love?"

He burst into a laughing fit and when he finally calmed down, he was wiping tears from his eyes. "You don't get it, do you? I know love because I'm in love, Blondie. You should know that."

"You're blonde, too, Sparky!"

"You use sparks, too, Chickie!"

"Shut up, Sparkplug!"

"Cheerleader!"

"Thunderstorm!"

"Puddles!"

"Caster!"

"Holder!"

"Enough!" Master yelled. "Enough! Let's just celebrate our new family members!"

"He stopped me before I could give me comeback…" I whined quietly.

"I'm sorry." Laxus whispered in my ear.

"It's fine. When should we tell Gramps about us getting married?"

"Not now. Wait just a little longer. Besides I want to take you to dinner. You know that restaurant that just opened."

"YO! Laxus has a girlfriend now? That's a shock."

I looked towards the doors. There stood a man with red hair with a torn cape stood in the doorway.
