( 3 ) The Start of Our Journey

Lucy's POV

When I woke up this morning I reached over and ran my hand over Horologium's key and found out it was only 6:30 in the morning. So I just rolled out of bed and walked over to my bathroom and over to the sink to brushed my teeth, and hair then I just threw my hair in a messy bun to get it out of my face. After I finished what I was doing in the bathroom I walked back into my bedroom and over to my end table to grab my key ring for Virgo's key

" Open gate of the maiden, Virgo " I summon

DING DONG

" What can I do for you princess? " Virgo ask's with her normal emotionless tone " Punishment Time? " Virgo adds after a couple of seconds with a small spark of emotion in her eyes and then it was gone just as fast as it came

" No punishment Virgo... I was actually wondering if you can bring me something to wear and to also take my dirty clothes and my soap back with you? " I ask with a small smile

" Of course Princess... Was there something specific you wanted to wear today? " Virgo says/ ask's with her emotionless tone and after she asked that it got me thinking on what I wanted to wear... I know I want to where something cute but I really don't want to wear what I normally would wear and after what felt like forever I knew exactly what I want to wear...

" Can you bring me my black and blue dress with my black faded combat boots please Virgo " I ask with a big smile on my face

" Of course Princess " Virgo says and then she goes over to my desk and grabbed my dirty clothing and then she walks into the bathroom for my soap and then I felt her go back to Spirit Realm. After a couple of seconds Virgo comes back with with one of my favorite short sleeve dresses the top is black and from the waist down is sky blue and hands it to me with my cute black flats with really small bows on top. First I placed my dress on the bed and my shoes on the floor in front of the bed.

" Thank you so much Virgo " I say while I started to take my pajama's off

" Your welcome Princess " Virgo says and once I fully had my pajama's off I handed them to Virgo " If that is all I'll be going back " Virgo adds

" That's all and thank you Virgo " I say with a big smile on my face while I was putting on my black bra with a small white lace trim with my matching pantie

" Your welcome Princess... Please call when ever you need me " Virgo says with a small bow and then she went back to the Spirit Realm. After she went back I went over to my bed again to put on my dress and boots

Then I walked over to the end table and placed Virgo's key back on the key ring and lastly I put my belt with my keys and whip on. Then I ran my hand over Horologium's key and found out it was 7:36 so with out another thought I went over to my desk and grabbed my small travel bag and then I went to my front door. Once I was out of my apartment I locked the door and then placed my key under the doormat and made my way out of the building and onto the street. Like normal I grab one of my keys

" Open gate of the little dog, Canis Minor " I summon

" Pun Pun "

" Good morning Plue would you like to walk with me to the train station? " I say/ ask Plue while he does his cute little dance

" Punn Pun Puunnn "

" Alright lets go " I say with a small giggle and then we make our way to the train station while Plue was walking in front of me; When we made it to the train station I picked Plue up and walked further into the station looking for Gajeel or Lily and after a couple of minutes I was about to give up and just sit down to wait for them to come when I felt a hand on my back, making me tense for a split second until

" It's only me Bunny " Gajeel says with a small chuckle from behind me making me shake my head a little with a small smile on my face and then I turn around to see Gajeel with a pack on his left shoulder and Lily was standing on his right shoulder

" Hello Lucy, Hello Plue " Lily says with a small wave

" Pun Punn " Plue says while waving back to him

" Hello Lily... Hello Gajeel " I say while my smile grew bigger " So you never told me where we were going " I add

" Shirotsume Town " Gajeel says while crossing his arms over his chest " Come on we need to get the tickets " Gajeel adds and I just nod my head and we head to the ticket booth; After we got the tickets we sat down and then Plue wanted to go back to the Spirit Realm and after a couple of minutes the train finally came. We got on board and found an empty booth and placed our bags in the compartment above our seats . When the train took off Gajeel sat next to the window while leaning back with his eyes closed. I was sitting next to him while leaning my head on his arm with Lily sitting in my lap.

" So what is this mission about anyways? " I ask wanting to know what we will be doing for a year

" We're going to to be taking out a chain of Dark Guilds that are high supporters of Zeref who are trying to resurrect him... But that's what Master and the Magic Council is thinking anyways... The first sighting of this chain of Dark Guilds is in the Mountains near Shirotsume and it should be about a couple weeks walk to where they said the Guild is located " Lily explains while cuddling closer to me

" Do they know how many Dark Guild there are? " I ask while tightening my grip on Lily

" Around 56 Guilds give or take " Gajeel mumbled

" Give or take " I ask while giggle a little at the end

" Yeah... Master said the Magic Council would call us when they know for sure how many there are " Lily says with a little sleep in his voice. I can tell in his tone he's about to fall a sleep again. That does sound like a good idea... Sleep...

" Okay " I mumble and when I felt Gajeel lift his arm I sat up straight a little confused and I was about to ask him about it but then he draped his arm around me. I couldn't help but snuggle closer into his side and I got even more happy when he tightened his grip around me. When we got to a comfortable silence I started to fall asleep.
