Good morning, my faithful followers. It really has been a while, hasn't it? Now, the only excuse I have is procrastination. Reading and Netflix have really gotten in my way. Now, for those who were expecting this chapter to be about Lucy's past, I am very sorry. That was actually part of the reason why this took so long. In order for that chapter to be accurate, I have to edit all the past chapters to make sure that I don't give something away too early. I seemed to have scattered information all over the place. For this chapter, there isn't as much action mostly because you can't go from one big battle into another big battle within the span of a single day. I'm pretty sure they would die of exhaustion if they did. Or by their enemy's hand at least.

As for Natsu and his "energy source", I'm sure that you'll enjoy this chapter. At least a little bit. But who knows. You'll have to read this chapter and find out. Welp, that about does it for the few reviews that I had. Now, onto the story!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail

~Chapter 18~

Now, wasn't this awkward? It wasn't every day that you were left on a doorstep with no instruction on what to do next. And it wasn't like she didn't have options in her following choices but her predicament was unsettling, to say the least. After their most recent mission, they'd gone back home. And by that, the poor blonde girl meant that the pink-haired dragon and his best friend had gone back home. She had simply been dragged along. Unfortunately for her, the whole way there she been trapped elsewhere in her mind and had paid no mind to where they had gone or how they got there. She wasn't sure whether or not her partner was aware of this fact or not, but she doubted that he even really cared.

They had touched down in front of a medium sized cottage in the middle of the forest and Lucy couldn't help but admire the tranquility of it all. The problem was the fact that, after he let her go, he had disappeared (along with Happy) and she wasn't sure what to do next. The Chaos Dragon hadn't said where they were but it wasn't a hard thing to guess upon entry. Lucy had eventually decided on entering only after minutes of staring at the dark colored wood in front of her and she was conveniently surprised at what she found.

In all honesty, she had expected it to be darker. The living room she had entered was actually well-lit from three windows on the wall to her right. One was next to the front door and the other two were on the far wall. To her left was an open doorway to the kitchen she believed, and maybe even the bedrooms if the open doorway on the opposite wall didn't lead there first. As she guessed, there wasn't much inside the living room. There was a couch in the middle of the room with the coffee table in front of it and a hammock in the corner behind it. The hammock was beside the window, far away enough that it was mostly in the shadows but close enough that at certain times of the day it could be hit by light. From where she stood that was a dark shape inside it but her curiosity got the better of her and she went to explore the rest of the cottage. Despite the fact that he lived alone, it was actually a decent sized cottage.

Her body slid off to her left where she did indeed find a medium-sized kitchen. Along one wall was the sink with a window above it and appliances with a few cabinets in between the appliances. She currently stood in the doorway with the sink on her left, another window across from her with a tall cabinet beside it, another cabinet to her, left and another open doorway on the wall to her right. On her way to the second open doorway, she passed a simple table with four simple chairs. How bland could this house be? There weren't any windows in the hallway between the kitchen and the three doors that she had left to explore. The first door had led her to a bedroom with a bed, a dresser, a window, and random posters that seem to have no relevance once or ever. The second was the same minus the posters and the third room lacked anything at all. It had to be the most boringest place of residence she ever seen in her entire life. And that was saying something since she had to stay in some pretty cheap motels after she had escaped her prison castle a few months prior. Even after the walls of her castle had been stripped after her mother's death, there had been more things in the hallway then what was present in this cottage. Having finished with her rather disappointing exploration, she wandered through the second doorway of the empty hallway to find herself back in the living room. She made her way to the couch and dropped on it while simultaneously exhaling loudly.

"Why am I not surprised?" She hadn't realized that she had said it aloud until she got a reply, and she tried not to seemed startled by it.

"Don't sound so disappointed. Natsu let you into our home. No one has ever gotten close to it." Lucy turned towards the voice with a jerk just in time to see Happy flying out of the hammock. The larger shape didn't move, but she figured that Natsu wouldn't get up so early. Or at least she assumed it was Natsu. After all, she saw him walk into the house and after exploring the whole things, there wasn't anywhere else that he could be. Then, it wasn't until Happy landed on her lap that a major fact slammed into her.

"I'm in Natsu's home?" She stared wide-eyed at the blue feline who nodded in response. Wow. Who woulda thought?

"And you sure took your sweet time coming in and looking around. I actually fell asleep," Happy huffed, in irritation. He didn't mind sleeping; he just didn't expect to do it so soon.

"I didn't take that long!" Lucy exclaimed. Happy rolled his eyes.

"Yeah sure. I'll show you your room. You only get to use it sometimes, like after long hours of training, but not tonight. Apparently, Natsu needs a break from you." Natsu needed a break from her?

"How rude," was Lucy's only reply as Happy lead her to the middle bedroom. It was the only one that was available really. Inside the bedroom, the exceed helped her empty her backpack into her new room. She could always buy more things later and she wasn't sure when she would even be back here. Then, with nothing else to do, they decided to head to the guild. As much as she wanted to fight Natsu about this whole situation, she really didn't feel like it was that appropriate. Not only had he let her into his house but he also let her have a room, even if it was a bit barren. She planned on putting more things in it the next time she came.

The walk to the guild wasn't all that eventful but between her and Happy, their happy chatter made time pass by quicker. They had so many things in common, it hardly seemed like they would ever run out of things to talk about. There was one thing though that plagued her mind more than anything else.

"So, what do you guys do all day if there aren't that many things at your house?" Lucy wondered, as they finally hit the streets of Magnolia.

"We train... or we fish... or we go on a mission... or we might go shopping. It depends on the day and what we feel like doing," Happy answered, his voice taking on a disinterested tone.

"Free spirits, huh? I don't have much experience in that area." Her last sentence was mumbled quietly into the air so that Happy might not hear it. Unfortunately for her, he heard it very clearly.

"What was that?" Good thing he chose to let it go. We would bring it up later.

"Nothing. Nothing. I was just wondering what we are going to do today. After all, Natsu's at home and we aren't on a mission and we aren't training." The small feline turned his gaze to the sky as he tried to come up with an answer.

"I dunno. Maybe-" The poor feline was unable to make his sentence known before a shout had interrupted him.

"Lucy!" Oh, they had arrived at the guild. They had only entered the building seconds prior and already someone had already spotted them. The first to move, however, had been a short, blue and orange blob who ran up to the pair to tackle Lucy. The poor blonde barely had enough time to catch herself and the bluenette before they both toppled to the ground.

"You're back! I can't believe it! You survived another mission with Chaos! I-" Her words bled together but the bored blonde had caught some words that would surely lead down a dangerous path.

"You doubted that I would come back?" Lucy growled, cutting off Levy's train of thought. Realizing her mistake, the smaller girl attempted to backtrack in hopes of avoiding another incident. From what she had witnessed, she was sure that she wanted another friend. Not another enemy.

"Of course not! I wasn't doubting you, but I was worried about you on the mission since Erza and Gray dragged you guys along. I know that they can be a bit much. Especially when they are in the company of Chaos as well." It was a reasonable concern. And it was one that Lucy accepted. Believed, not so much, but definitely accepted.

"Actually, we barely saw them. I mean first..." It was from here that Lucy began telling Levy of her latest adventure with the country's most powerful team. Lucy was actually relieved that her blue-haired friend wasn't worried so much about her and Natsu as she was about her other three team members. Maybe. Lucy heard the cover-up the bluenette tried to downplay. It just didn't matter as much to her. She had enough people telling her what kind of monster Natsu was and how she really shouldn't be around him. To her, it seemed as if the world saw the Dragon one way, while she and Happy saw him from a different angle. She didn't care what the world anymore. They didn't matter. What mattered was what she thought and felt about him and how she behaved towards him. That was why she was so quick to show her hostility to anyone who dare tell her that she didn't know what she was talking about. Ignorant fools.

Thank Mavis that Levy thought it better to question the relationship of people she knew rather than people she had speculated about. To Lucy, the moment Levy had shown interest in something besides her and Natsu, she felt a wave of relief crash over her body. All the anger and aggression she felt at first seemed to wash away. It was why Lucy led them to a table where they began their happy conversations. This new found happiness opened so many new doors, and Lucy knew she had found a new best friend. Levy felt almost exactly like her new friend did, minus a few minor details. After that, Levy quickly came to the conclusion that "Natsu" was a very delicate topic. Some things, like what he said or didn't say, were completely fine to discuss in great detail. Other subjects, like what he did or didn't do were more prone to negative feelings from her new blonde best friend. If it's a bit confusing, think of it like this. Words and silence were up for discussion, actions and lack of were not. Actions were an easy enough topic to avoid, (especially since he hardly approached her anyway) and for it, both girls were glad.

Too bad not everyone felt the same way. Happy was bored out of his mind. After Levy had unwound herself from his mother/best friend person from her initial hug, the small feline had wrapped himself around Lucy's neck. He watched as her guild mark turned a strong gray before it turned to a sparkling pink. Keeping a close eye on the Levy and the ever-changing guild mark on Lucy, Happy realized but no one else knew that Lucy had tied her emotions to her guild mark. He wasn't even sure if she realized it herself. He remembered when she asked for the colors; She seemed unaware of what they would mean. Everyone else was too busy focusing on her body language and her tone of voice to pick up on anything else. No one noticed the physical evidence stamped onto her hand. It was actually quite hilarious if you thought about it. The only problem was how this observation and his new discovery didn't take up as much time as the blue-furred feline had hoped. The two girls had yet to end their conversation and it didn't feel like it was going to end soon.

Downtrodden, Happy opted for flying to the bar counter rather than taking another nap on Lucy. He'd already taken one not twenty minutes prior and he wasn't ready for another nap just yet... Maybe... Maybe it was the fact that he was hungry and the food wasn't even thirty feet away. Or whatever distance it actually was. Fish was sounding really good at the moment. Of course, there was fish in his backpack, but he wasn't about to dive into that stash. It was meant for when no other fish available. Natsu had taught him to be prepared and would harshly disapprove if he found him taking from his reserves when there was fresh fish just a couple feet away. It didn't only apply to fish but that was all that mattered at the moment. Nothing else would satisfy him like a sweet delicious fish, so why worry about them right now? What was important was saving his snacks until later and restocking to make sure that he had enough for later. Obviously. Though, he knew better than to just demand what he wanted. These people owed him nothing and being at the side of a vicious Dragon Slayer did not help the matter. So, there he stood, waiting patiently for Mira to acknowledge him. He didn't mind waiting. It would aid him in the waiting game he was unwillingly apart of and Mira usually didn't take too long in seeing him. Which she didn't.

"Hey, Happy. What can I do for you?" she asked when she finally approached the quiet feline.

"Hi, Mira. Can I have some fish for my backpack and some fish to eat while I wait for Lucy and Levy to finish talking? Who knows how long it's going to last!" As far a fish went, it always paid for him to be upfront about his fish consumption.

"Sure. Where's Chaos? I didn't see him come in with you," Mira wondered as she prepared Happy's request. It was a reasonable one and one that wasn't always answered. It was important to have at least a clue as to where Chaos could possibly be hiding, even if the exact location was not always given. Safety precautions if you will.

"He's at home, napping. But, I'm bored now! I don't know what to do next," Happy huffed, as Mira set down his plate.

"What if you and Lucy do something together? Just the two of you. You could go shopping or fishing or-"

"Yeah! We should do something together!" Happy exclaimed, just as his eyes fell on the mission board. Now that...would be fun.

"Thanks, Mira!" the blue feline shouted happily.

"Glad I could help," Mira answered, as she went to help the next person at the bar. Adventure and excitement filled his small body as she packed up his fish. Now, all he had to do was pick the right mission. It couldn't be too hard, otherwise, Natsu would get really mad at them for going without him. However, it also couldn't be too easy or else they would still be bored and it would've been a waste of their time anyway. Choices choices. What to do, what to do. Happy's small body hovered before the wide mission board as he searched for the right mission. It had to be something that would draw Lushy in... something where the reward outweighed the risk that they were putting themselves into. His eyes flicked up to the top corner of the mission board where his gaze landed on the S-Class missions board. That was it! Natsu was S-Class. Maybe he wouldn't mind if they went on an easy one. But, he had to choose a mission from the regular board lest someone get suspicious. After all, he learned all about stealth from Natsu. What good was a sidekick if the sidekick couldn't follow the master into the simplest of places? That being a simple stealth mission with the king of shadows.

Pulling a less than medium difficulty level mission off the board, he got Mira's attention once more. She commended him on his mission choice and completed the usual steps to accept a mission. Then, her attention was called to the other side of the guild giving Happy the perfect opportunity to sneak up the stairs. Luckily for him, there wasn't anyone up there to impede on his mission as he went to the board. Upon it were missions to kill monsters, prove the existence of mysterious creatures, find missing persons (people thought to be dead), exter- oooooh. This mission guaranteed a golden gate key with the completion of the mission. Lucy would like this one a lot. Slipping the mission into his backpack, Happy carefully glided down the stairs. He was genuinely astounded how no one noticed him but he supposed that worked in his favor. Going over to Lucy, he landed softly and pulled out her clothes.

"Lushy! You've been sitting here forever! Can we go do something? We can even go shopping if you want," he begged.

"Oh! I'm sorry, Happy. But if you want to leave, we don't have to go shopping."

"I just want to do something. Isn't there anything you need to do?"

"Well, I am out of groceries. If only someone wouldn't eat them all!"

"I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Um-hm. I thought so. It's all right. I guess I'm going then. I'll talk to ya later, ok Levy?"

"Yeah. That's fine. This is been fun. Let's do it again some time."

"For sure. Let's go, Happy," she said, standing up from the table.

"Oh, and I got a mission for us also. Wanna see?" The small feline floated up to her shoulders as he handed her the mission. Well, one of them. She took the flyer as they walked before nodding to herself.

"That seems like a good mission. Is Natsu coming too?" Lucy asked and she changed her direction towards her apartment. Groceries could wait until they got back. Food never really last that long if left untouched anyway. She handed Happy back the mission paper, who stuffed it back into his backpack.

"No. This mission is just for us. I also found this one. I figured the reward would interest you." He handed her other machine flyer in his hand. This time, she stopped mid-step as she stared at the flyer. She hadn't seen this mission before. Not only was the reward money much higher than any she'd seen but it also came with a golden gate key.

"Where did you get this?" She wandered in awe.

"Promise you won't be mad?" That question was enough to tear eyes from the paper to look at him. What had he done now?

"What did you do?" Her tone was soft and slightly mocking but her interest was piqued.

"Promise you won't be mad," Happy murmured, scrunching himself further into her shoulder. He almost looked ashamed of himself.

"Happy..."

"Promise." Lucy side and she looked at the paper again.

"I promise. I'm pretty sure we're doing his mission anyway since I really want that gate key. You're lucky I love you so much. Now, will you tell me what we're getting ourselves into?"

"I love you too, Lushy! But you know what we're getting into. You have the mission paper." Happy beamed as he stood straighter.

"I see. I'll get it out of you later. Right now, is there anything that you can think of that we will need to complete our missions?" They were quiet

"Umm... I dunno. I think the first one we just need something for the meantime. We can't just sit and stare out the window of the train the whole time."

"We could. But I see what you mean. We can pick up some things on the way to the train station. And... The other one?" She asked, her words slowing towards the end.

"Ummm... maybe... some... cool new weapons?" the blue feline suggested at last. The blonde brought a finger to her lips to tap against it and she unlocked her apartment and stepped inside. That was an interesting suggestion. And not one that she was quite fond of yet.

"How about some cool spy gear instead?" Happy rephrased. He wasn't quite fond of the weapons idea either. It wasn't like he could really use one if he wanted to. One of the curses that came with having a small cat body. For his size, he wasn't really that weak but he wasn't as strong as some other people. Like Natsu, for instance. Now that was a lot of power packed into one body.

"I agree. I mean, what do we need weapons for? We're mages. We can make weapons with our magic. I'm pretty sure we can handle it. Plus, spy gear would be cooler."

"That's a good point. And I love the spy gear idea. Weapons. Ha! What was I thinking?" The exceed let out a laugh as he slapped a paw on his forehead. Both he and Lucy laughed at the action and she stuffed her backpack full of clothes.

"I don't know, but you are a silly kitty. I can't believe but I don't see it often," Lucy giggled.

"What are you talking about? It comes out all the time! Where have you been? Hello! Lushy! Are you in there? You can come out now!" Happy said his hello with a shout in Lucy's ear before he began knocking on the door blonde's head. An action she wasn't fond of, but one she didn't hate. It fit with the dialogue. And as a writer, she appreciated it. It was here that she pushed him away. Not very hard at least.

"Hey! Stop that, you silly cat. Otherwise, I won't make you any fish for dinner."

"Aye, Sir! Sorry, Lushy."

"it's all right. Remember that for next time though."

"I will! Maybe."

XXX

That night, mostly from sheer disinterest, the fierce chaos dragon woke from his peaceful slumber. He knew the blonde would take care of his best friend and that was all that mattered. The fact was, that due to his constant use of magic the last few days, he was exhausted. He may not have admitted it but his body wasn't used to constantly using that much magic at once. It was one crisis after another and magic was required through all of it. He may have been able to do it in the past, but now is different. In the past, he had a sparring partner. And up until recently, all he had left was a training arena. Not quite the same if you asked him. So, because of these factors, his magic capacity shifted. Soon, it was a battle every once in awhile and little spells all the time.

Either way, he slept well into the next day and it was evening again by the time he woke up. Stretching his muscles, the Dragon pushed the sleep from his body. He'd slept long enough. Now it was time to see what everyone has been up to. With a deep inhale Natsu could tell his companions hadn't returned to the house. Not that he was expecting them to. it wasn't much they could do there anyway. In fact, if they had returned, it probably wouldn't have been pleasant for anyone. He wasn't sure how, but it was a highly likely possibility. 30 minutes later, Natsu was walking out of his cottage and towards the guild. He guessed that if they weren't there already, that they were hanging out in her apartment. Hopefully, they would be at the guild so that he wouldn't need to go looking for them.

Upon sliding into the guild, the Chaos Dragon made his way to the bar counter. Without a word, he was giving his usual Root Beer and he began his search. Titania and Ice Breath both sat on opposite sides of the same table, not talking and enjoying the still silence that came with their separate orders. Encyclopedia sat surrounded by books and her two followers, although he scented that Blondie had been with her recently. Though, if he didn't find them soon he might have to investigate them further. For now, he had to finish searching the guild. His gaze settled on the Spark Plug and his group of followers. Or groupies as he refers to them in his mind. The only person left was worth his attention was the she-demon. She was most likely the only one might know where his partners had disappeared to. Chaos's eyes landed on her form as she pulled a wet rag across the countertop. She must have felt him glaring at her from where he sat because not long after that, she turned to face him.

"Oh! Good morning, Chaos," she greeted happily. Something was up. She only greeted him verbally when she was hiding something. He can only wonder what she was up to this time. Well, why wonder when you can just ask?

"What are you up to, she-demon?" His eyes narrowed as he watched her, waiting for when her tongue would slip.

"W-What do you mean?" That slight tremor in her voice was exactly what he wanted to hear. It proved she was hiding something but that didn't mean she had anything that would interest him. The only thing left was to find out.

"Do you know where she is?" It was obvious who he was talking about and yet she had the audacity to act stupid.

"W-Who?" Whoops. Foolish move on her part.

"Don't play, She-demon. You may be strong but I can still easily squash you. Then, when you're down, I'll make sure to give your sister the welcome she so richly deserves." His deep smooth voice was calm as he growled irritation.

"No!" The word that left her lips was louder than she intended, causing many eyes to turn in her direction. She managed to wave them all off, but that didn't stop the weary glances being sent her way.

"Where... is she?" the angry dragon asked again.

"She... she left on a mission with Happy not too long ago." A mission? They went on a mission? Well great.

"With who?" Natsu growled, his voice getting deeper.

"It was just the two of them." At this point, Mira was extremely glad the mission was just the two of them. Who knows how Chaos would've reacted had anyone else been on their team.

"When'd they leave?"

"Y-Yesterday. They should be back tomorrow or the next day. They only wanted to bond with each other," Mira tried to defend.

"They could've bonded with me there. And if you defend them..." The angry dragon began squeezing the empty bottle in his hand. Not a second later, it exploded sending glass shards all over the countertop.

"...That glass won't be the only thing that gets shattered." He rolled his fingers across his palm, the shards clattering down to the wooden counter. The barmaid's face gave nothing away but that didn't stop the waves of fear from rolling off her in waves. Fear that Chaos gave no indication that he was enjoying. Pushing his body away from the bar, Chaos made his way to the stairs to the second floor. When he got there, he was hit with a smell he wasn't expecting. Happy's. The feline knew that the Chaos Dragon wasn't up here, yet he came up here anyway. Why? Although, knowing him and acknowledging the fact that he knew that the feline had a new partner in crime, it could only mean that they were up to something. A deep growl bubbled in his throat, and with it, oxford tendrils appeared from nowhere. They slithered down the stairs and slid behind the bar towards their target. The magic pooled at her feet before it rose up behind her. The guild could only watch as the dragon wrapped around her and drug her up the stairs. What was going on?

After Chaos sent his magic down to retrieve the object of his anger, he took a single deep breath and sat in his usual seat. If he was going to get some answers, he needed to appear calm. Yelling wouldn't work as well on the She-Demon. She wasn't wiggling, trying to escape, which was a good idea on her part. Mostly since doing so may infuriate the Dragon further. Once his magic stopped moving, it released her and she fell the four feet to the ground. She fell to her side and Chaos waited for her to stand. He watched as she wiped the dirt from her dress, then he spoke slowly and calmly. Definitely not the best coming from a very angry dragon who may or may not have any qualms about killing people.

"You'll never guess what I found when I came up here, She-Demon." He paused before he stood and moved closer to her frozen form.

"Happy's scent. But, you see, they were with me for the last mission and I know that he never came up here without me before that. So, what could that mischievous cat be doing up here? By himself? With no one watching? What could be done up here, where there are few things to do? When downstairs where there is someone who just as easily matches his personality?" His questions sent the white-haired woman's mind into a frenzy as she started to connect the dots. And the picture they made was not a pretty one. It was a very dangerous one in fact. She gasped in horror.

"NO." Her body turned as quickly as it could, to stare at the mission board behind them. Her eyes raked across the board, silently praying that what the Dragon was implying was false. That he was playing some joke because he was jealous that they had left without him. However, as her eyes landed on an empty spot on the board, she knew he wasn't lying. That mischievous cat had taken an S-Class mission with the only person crazy enough to go with him.

"Which mission did they take?" Chaos growled.

"I-I think..."

"You think what?" She muttered so quietly under her breath that not even he could catch what she said. Then, she turned without another word and rushed down the stairs as fast as she could without tripping. Chaos followed her silently and watched as she riffled through the things behind the bar. She only grew more panicked as the seconds dragged on. Chaos didn't even lift a finger to help; Not that she even needed it. Seconds later, a look of relief passed over her face as she pulled out two large leather-bound books. That look of relief, however, didn't last long as she began to look for something. She flipped through the pages and when she stopped, not a single word slid past her lips.

"Care to enlighten me, She-Demon?" She still didn't answer him and instead, another sentence came out.

"We have to inform Master."

"You have to inform me first," Chaos spat. He stood up from his seat, his palms flat on the countertop. His body leaned towards her, invading her space, trying to will the information out of her. It didn't seem to be working as she was still stuck in her own little horror-filled world. He understood the dangers and he knew the consequences of their actions but this wasn't the time to freeze with fear. And unlike everyone might think about his actions, he wasn't about to rescue them. He didn't do rescue. If anything, he was going after them to make sure they didn't get themselves killed. It played out like this. Since they were his partners, they were his responsibility. And if they were his responsibility, then he was supposedly tasked with keeping them out of trouble. However, since they were at the guild and he wasn't, the responsibility fell on the guild. And if they got killed, the blame would be placed on the guild, who would, in turn, blame him. So really, this was all an elaborate plan to make sure that he stayed out of the limelight. He refused to be bombarded with people demanding why and what happened.

"Tell me what?" The Master's calm voice seemed to come out of nowhere and cut through the tension like butter. Chaos growled in anger as he thought about the situation once more. In his few seconds of less than mild surprise from Master's sudden appearance, his thoughts were put on pause but now they had come back full force.

"Lucy and Happy have taken a mission," the She-Demon answered. Chaos growled again. What a vague understatement.

"They stole an S-Class mission," Chaos corrected.

"THEY DID WHAT?! How do you know?" His initial shock faded into skepticism and it only served to make Chaos angier.

"Because...they stole it off the board, YOU SENILE OLD MAN!" Chaos shouted. At that moment, large black and purple bat wings burst from this back in the most dramatic way possible. They stayed spread out, making him look bigger and scarier as she turned his attention back to the barmaid who still hadn't given him a location yet.

"Where...did...they...go?" Chaos asked, venom dripping from every word

"Galuna Island."

Ha! How ominous was that? Pretty excellent, I hope. Now, eventually, I plan on having everything edited and I will finally finish the chapter about Lucy's past and I will give it to you. It's pretty exhausting really. When I think about it, I really should've been keeping track of it from the beginning. Oh well. We all learn from our mistakes. And since that rounds up all that I have to say, I'll leave you to the rest of your day. Until next time.
