Now then... Sorry about that...


Levi raced through the streets clutching a small stack of books closely to her chest. Weaving between people that were in her way, she let out the occasional, "Sorry," as she would run into the shoulders of the people she was trying to pass. She couldn't lose her precious cargo and she couldn't contain her giddiness at what she found. Initially when she had straightened Lucy's apartment, she came across the book sitting on the night stand. Not thinking much of it, and assuming it had been one of the ledgers that either Lucy or Natsu had been reading, Levi opened it and began scanning the pages. When the shock wore off she instantly shoved the book into her bag and knew where she needed to head next.

She had visited three different libraries and seven archives before finding both of the books she had been looking for. She just needed to show Lucy and the rest of the guild as fast as possible.

Just as she rounded the corner of Strawberry Street, Levi found herself running into something solid. As she readied herself for the fall, it didn't come. In the last second before she completely lost her footing someone reached out and took hold of her wrist.

"NO! A new love rival! Grey-sama is holding hands with someone who is not Juvia!"

"Huh!?" The ice mage asked dumbly turning to look at Juvia. "I'm not holding anyone's hand!" he cried indignantly. Shaking his head at Juvia's new found water works he turned back to Levi. "You okay?"

Levi blinked several times then smiled. "Yeh, great actually!" She said as she righted her footing and pulled from Grey's grasp. "Sorry for running into you Grey. I'm just really excited at what I found and need to get to Lu-chan's to show her.

Pulling his shirt over his head Grey snickered. "She's not home. No one has seen her or the matchstick since the other day." Crossing his arms and shrugging he continued, "Guess the idiot pissed her off or something and she took off. I told her she was too good for him." He tisked.

"Grey-sama! Natsu-san is perfect for keeping Love Rival away from Grey-sama! Why must Grey-sama try to tear Natsu-san and Love Rival apart? Does Grey-sama love Love Rival more than Juvia?!" Juvia asked horrified as images of Lucy tucked into Grey's arms while Grey told Juvia he was in love with Lucy far more then he could ever be with Juvia, passed through her mind. Gasping in terror, and a small mixture of curiosity, she continued, "Does Grey-sama have the boy boy love for Natsu-san? Is that why Grey-sama is trying to end Love Rival and Natsu-san's relationship?!" Once again images played through Juvia's mind, only this time it was of a naked Grey and almost naked Natsu snuggling closely on a cabin floor. A roaring fire in the background as the pair drank from glasses made of Grey's ice filled with some sort of wine. Before she could go further blood gushed from her nose and she passed out.

"What!?" Grey asked once again horrified as he removed his pants. "What is going on in that mind of yours?!"

Levi chuckled at their antics. "So they haven't been back yet? I hope Lu-chan isn't too upset. It's not that big of a deal really." Mumbling she added, "Even if it was a bad way to do it, Natsu's right."

"So I was right! That idiot did something to her. Well it was a matter of time really." Grey sighed. "So what did he say this time?" He asked hoping to get something wonderful to taunt Natsu with later.

Levi bit her lip. "That's not that important." She said waving off the question. It wasn't her place to further spread the information. "I need to show Lu-chan something amazing I found. If you see her let her know I'm at the guild."

"Sure thing."

"By the way. What were you two doing?" Levi asked with a bit of an evil grin.

Grey raised a brow to Levi's odd expression, "I was looking for the inflamed ass hole. Bastard burned half my closet and left this shitty note on top of the ashes." Grey said showing Levi the note that read, 'Strippers don't need clothes popsicle breath!' causing Levi to giggle. "Bad enough I lose at least five shirts and two pairs of pants a week. I don't need him further costing me!" He continued growling and shaking his fist.

Levi continued to giggle as she pointed to Grey and said, "Look down."

He did.

"DAMN IT! How does this keep happening?"

"Juvia has collected Grey-sama's clothing." Juvia said as she handed Grey his missing articles after suddenly awakening. Swooning as he thanked her she turned to Levi all smiles, "Juvia was with Grey-sama to make sure that Grey-sama did not run into new love rivals." Changing her mood she glared at Levi, "Juvia has failed." She said darkly.

Levi sweat-dropped at that, "Now I know how Lu-chan feels." She muttered. Raising her hand in a placating way she said awkwardly, "Well I'll leave you two to it then." Turning and running off she added over her shoulder, "Don't forget, if you see them let Lu-chan know I'm looking for her!"

Grey waved and nodded as he and Juvia made their way down the street.

Levi broke into a jog again. She couldn't help it! This was some new news and an end all to all the dragon's captivity at once. She wanted to show Lucy first, and also apologize for taking the journal but her friend was missing at the moment. Normally she'd be worried but since Natsu was missing as well she decided not to dwell on it too much. Knowing the pair Natsu figured out a way to apologize and they took a mission just because. As the guild came into view she turned her jog into a run. Bursting through the doors all smiles she ignored Jet and Droy's call of her name and scanned the bar for the master. Sure enough he was there, mug in one hand the other holding his head up, and a pipe dangling from his mouth.

"Master! I need to talk to you!" Levi yelled as she ran up to the man.

Makarov jerked his head up and smiled brightly, "Levi! Where did you run off to? Poor Jet and Droy were lost without you here!" he chuckled

Levi rolled her eyes and ignored the jeer, "Can I speak with you in your office please?"

The old man raised a brow. Most of the guild members feared being taken into his office. Generally that was because they were to either be sent on a terribly dangerous mission, or they had destroyed a town again and he was going to get retribution for the jewel it cost him. Nodding at the small woman he hopped off the counter and made his way to the stairwell, Levi following closely behind him.

Just before she could shut the door to his office he plopped himself in his chair and pulled a bottle from the desk draw. "What's this all about now child?"

Levi smiled brightly, "I found the answer!"


Bum Bum Bummmmmmmmmm...

So let me better explain... The holidays were insane and I had already told you all that I might be MIA for them... Yeh they came and went then some insanity happened with my family... then POTTY TRAINING! Then well just life... GAHH...

It didn't help that my story no longer held a hope of being partly cannon... It also didn't help that I wrote myself into a wall and couldn't figure out where the fuckin door was! LOL Seriously... I even tried to write several head cleaners... Never finished them... *facepalm* I legit have like 6 unfinished stories just hanging out in my folder... Ahhh well... maybe they will someday see light... LOL

So I truly am SORRY! I didn't mean to be gone almost three months. I NEVER imagined I would be out of commission that long! This piece has become something that I'm falling for, cannon or not, and I'm trying to do it and myself justice. So I'm taking my time. It's a thinker... It takes planning and plotting on my part and making sure things line up just so for the climax of it all.

We're finally getting into the "third arc" of it and I'm excited.

And I just wanna say THANK YOU to every follower, fav, lurker, reviewer alike for hanging in with me! It means alot!

Keep readin and reviewin,

~Gemi
