."We are gonna go out and party until daylight! Let's live like humans again!" Levy cheers
"No..no...first let's go for the Mira's, my skin is dying already. Then shopping and then the club" Juvia shows them a schedule she made
"You are so organized, I swear Juvia...you make our apartment a lot better" Lucy says
While shopping lucy runs into Erza, the only name she remembers from the other day
"I'm here for shopping too, how about we do it together?" Erza suggests
Lucy takes up the offer, erza was sweet and she had really good fashion choices
"Girl, if only you were in Edolas we could've become besties" Levy says linking her arms
"We can become one now too. Here is my contact, let's meet up again" Erza really liked their company too
"Wait...we are gonna go to the Club next. How about you join us?" Juvia asks
"Yeah, erza...please? It will be fun!" Lucy also links her arm with Erza
Looking at the three excited girls, erza just nods as they all shout in glee
The girls hit the club, they soon see themselves getting a lot more than needed eyes
"Did we just become the topic of this club?" Levy says
"This is way faster than when it was just us three" juvia replies
Surely, the girls would also get attention but not as much as they are recieving now
"I think Erza just made it special" lucy nudges a smiling Erza
They head to the middle of the dance floor, dancing for a while until exhaustion hits them
"Let's go to the bar!" Lucy shouts to Erza
"What should we order?"
"How about something that even you will drink with me" lucy suggest
"Umm...then..." Erza orders a drink that was meant for both Humans and Vampires
"Is it strong?" Lucy asks smelling the drink "it smells like cherry blossoms" she smiles
"It's not that much and yes...do you like it?" Erza sips her drink
"I love it!" Lucy's eyes widen at the flavour "this is my new favorite now"
"We want it too then" Levy says coming to them with Juvia
They drink and dance the night away but the Vampire girl was no where near drunk. She couldn't get drunk
So she drives them go their house guided by a drunk and Awake Juvia
"This is it. Stay with us for the night!" Juvia drags Erza into their house.
•••••••••••
The next morning, Erza cooks them up food while they walk to her holding their heads
"Zombie. Zombie" she laughs seeing their disheveled hair and smudged make up.
"My head feels like it's on the roller coaster" juvia says
"Mine too"
"Mine three and thanks Erza. I'll eat this well" Levy says digging in
They eat, freshen up and get ready to go out to clear their drunk heads
"I'm going to my house! I've been called" lucy shouts coming out of her room
"What for? Were we...dud we make a mess at the party?" Levy looks at Erza who crosses her arms to a 'no'
"I've gotta go. Apparently Michelle's here too" lucy tries to suppress her anger shoving her phone into her purse
"Call us when coming back!" Juvia says as Lucy shuts the door
"Right...you don't know" levy drags her to the couch
"She is the marionette doll of the house, erza"
"Lucy do this, do that, don't eat, don't sleep, don't die" juvia adds looking at herself in the mirror
"Unlike the typical Pampered Youngest, Lucy is actually the one recieving harsh treatment"
"And she needs to hold it off until she graduates" juvia finishes
"You guys are her escape of reality" Erza looks at the girls

"Dad...you should come with me to the conference this time" Michelle says as she and Jude walk along the garden
"Send the details to the secretary. I'll come if I'm free" he smiles at his daughter
"Sir, miss Lucy is here" a butler says standing behind them
"Call her here"
Lucy enter the very familiar mansion, the maids and butlers greet her with a smile as she asks them simple questions in return
"Miss, you're father and sister are in the garden" a maid relays the message
"How are you doing, lily" lucy smiles at the girl who was younger than her
"I'm doing well miss Lucy" the girl smiles wide at lucy
"I'll go. I can't keep them waiting for long" lucy walks away
"She is as sweet as ever" lily says
"This house feels different when she comes, help me cook something for her to take it back to her apartment" the older maid drags lily away
Jude and Michelle sit next to the fountain, having tea served on the table
"Hello father" Lucy greets, bowing down and standing straight
"Ah, you're here. Sit down"
"Lucy, how are you. It's been a while" Michelle talks overly sweet and holds out her hand
"Yes, sister. It's been 2 years, how is your business going?" Lucy says holding her hand
Michelle has a slight change in her expression at the mention "it going great, lucy"
"But she is coming back. She stayed away from home for so long, she can start here again with the knowledge she gained there" Jude says
Lucy looks at her sister who was smiling at her dad and back at her with a raised brow
"Wow...welcome back sis" Lucy squeezes her hand slightly
"You are going to finish college soon, how about you join me? Us both combined, is unstoppable" Michelle returns the pressure
"About that, lucy is going to get engaged to the Straight's Son" Jude turns to Michelle "How about you plan it? I'm sure it will the best ever done"
Lucy takes her hand away, the conversation between Jude and Michelle continues. He was proud of her sister, he smiles at her, he compliments her. Something he never did to lucy even once
