Reviews are Nice; The pairings are NOT decided yet. I get people like Vander/Lucy, I like them too, they're adorable when she's sassy and keeps up with him, but...I really don't know if they will get together or if it will be a friendship...or how far this darkness is going to go.

I don't own Fairy Tail. Mashima Does.

I don't own the Pradesh Clan. Desna does (and thank you for them).

I own the Storyline. That's it.

To everyone: thank you, things went well, I'm in an area that people evacuated to, so I've been doing a lot of voluneteer work. we got some storms, and the Smell of the Sea has finally left the air, now it's all continuing to help the people out as we can. This is a bit shorter than normal, but...I didn't get too much time to write this week.

Grenlow truly wondered about things, when he'd gotten Arman's god-daughter in the White Sea ranks, he'd been happy, but to have another flow into the mix was…interesting to say the least. He didn't know Hestor too well, but things had checked out, however watching the two celestial spirit mages tear up one of the training rings was not what he had in mind.

There were sparks as not only their spirits fought, but the two were in and out, darting about the training ring and trying to put the other on the ground. The girl was small and agile, where the male had strength and knowledge on his side. Instinct guided the girl as she bounced off the ground just in time to avoid a blade coming at her and then both blinked at each other as she landed on the end of the sword.

She tapped the blades of her two 'daggers' together as she looked down at the normally taller male, "So uh..tie?"

"not at tie, loser buys lunch," The male let out a growl as he shifted and put weight behind the sword, flipping it up and watching the girl spring into the air, "stop that!" Blade shifting in his hand to careen through the air at the smaller celestial mage.

She let out a squeal as she tucked in on herself and landed, rolling forward just in time to avoid the blade strike for the most part, though she appeared to lose a good foot of hair. She twisted her body as the blade came around again and then rolled between hestor's legs, grabbing his ankles with her hands and then contorting her body to flip herself up and put her legs around his waist.

She swung herself up and wrapped her arms around his neck, leaving her weapons on the ground as she applied careful pressure. She grunted as the man fell back with a snarl and she felt pain lance in her body from the impact and the pressure of the body on top of her.

The little blonde let out a snarl as she held on, feeling the pressure as Hestor arched, trying to use his head to force the breath out of her chest before he passed out himself. "I am NOT paying for lunch this time!"

Hestor's hands came up, trying to get the arms from around his neck and he let out a low growl. He couldn't exactly talk with not being able to breathe too well. He saw the spots in his sight and he was fighting with all he could, but it wasn't long before he slumped.

Lucy let out a sigh, feeling the body go lax and then she dropped her arms. She could feel the other celestial mage's body move with each breath he was taking and she groaned, "I win."

The blonde lay there and mumbled, "…can someone Please get him off me?" she huffed at the chuckles and then rolled her eyes as she lay there.

Beck slowly walked out through the ring, "you two done?"

"yup," The blonde grinned as she lay there, "I get lunch on his tab!" she cackled then coughed as she struggled to get the unconscious mage off her, "heeeeeeeeeeeelp."

The beast master shook his head and then hefted the male up, watching the blonde girl scramble to her feet and stretch before brushing herself off, "…is lunch really worth all that?"

Lucy slowly blinked up at Beck, tilting her head as she looked at him for a moment like he asked something crazy, "..yes." she then trotted away towards the lockers, leaving a very confused Young man behind the bruised and cut up blonde.

Cristoff stared at Lucy as she sat at a table in the main guildhall, grinning at the other Celestial mage, Hestor. Something about him made his inner dragon growl in warning. It really was the first real reaction he'd ever gotten from his dragon and that was fine. He had such a harmony with it that he truly was shocked when he heard it.

Lucy was eating an amount of salad that he wasn't sure was healthy, even though the food was. The little blonde let out a moan of delight that had quite a few around her looking over with heavy lidded eyes until they realized who it was. The little bundle of light that was Lucy could capture a lot of eyes and the fact that she truly was flourishing in a lot of ways helped.

"it's a salad! No one should make a sound like that over a salad," Hestor scowled down at the other celestial mage, eyes narrowing.

Lucy slowly looked up at him as she put another bite in her mouth and let out another happy moan, her eyes dancing with mischief as the older mage shifted uncomfortably. She slowly chewed before swallowing, "…the dressing is amazing like you wouldn't believe."

"you are a tease," Hestor scowled as he ate his own lunch slowly.

The brown eyes slowly blinked up at Hestor, an innocent, yet owlish look on her features, "I would never ….." she trailed off, "…okay, I totally would to get any advantage in battle." Her lips split in a grin as she took another bite of her food, making no sound this time.

Hestor threw his hands in the air, "this shit is why you don't have a lot of close friends, no one wants to put up with this."

Lucy pouted up at Hestor and leaned in, poking his chest, "Then why are you my friend?"

The older Celestial mage huffed a bit, "well it sure isn't your keys. You're like a barnacle. You latch on and don't let go. It's not a choice to be your friend."

There were a few bits of laughter around them and Hestor tried to not scowl as Bickslow draped himself over the small girl, "That's Lucy, yanno?" The Seith grinned broadly, "Though, not sure about barnacle, she's like that stray cat that you want to tame."

Lucy rolled her eyes a bit and stabbed Bickslow's arm with her fork, making him let go before she started eating, "uh huh. I've got claws."

"Yeah, yeah, so, Emi and Xally want a girls day…" Bickslow didn't get any further before the blonde was scrambling away from the two and he blinked, "…uh…"

"You mentioned something that may encompass copious amounts of chocolate, facials and mani-pedis to a girl," Hestor said drolly, "and yet you expected her to stick around?"

"point taken," Bickslow snorted as he looked at the mostly gone salad and picked up a bit, taking a bit and letting out a moan, "…shit, this is good."

Hestor scowled, "it can't be that-" he didn't get to say much more as some of the salad was shoved into his mouth and his eyes lit up. Alright now he got the sounds the girl made, "…point taken."

The two pre-teens did not like one another, but Lucy was the common factor in them even talking. Bickslow sat there for a moment and the two stared at each other. The Seith stood, "right, I'm…gonna go.." He picked up the girl's tray and then started towards the bar, uncomfortable. He had looked at Hestor's soul a few times while he was sparring Lucy and he didn't like the darkness that was in the other Celestial mage's spirit, it sent shivers down his spine to see that darkness curl through the bright soul without actually harming it. The mage had taken it in willingly and that scared the shit out of Bickslow.

Lucy had come back from the Academe for Kaleb's induction into the Knights of the Immaculate light, though she wished she could have been there for all three days, she did have tests and lamented with whines over a comlacrama. He'd rolled his dark eyes at her and she'd grinned, but she was still upset that she wasn't going to be there for the entire thing.

She just blamed them for, honestly, doing it the middle of the week that they had end of semester course tests. She'd rushed to get back for the last day, grinning as she sat with the Pradesh family, playing with Bickslow's and Vander's hair as they waited.

When he came out, they all milled over, Bickslow blinking, "wow, talk about a Fairy Princess look."

Vander grinned, "I was trying to not say it first." He shrugged at the glower from Kaleb, "if it fits, right?"

Kaleb scowled, but Lucy's voice cut through the air, her hand to her forehead in a dramatic gesture "He was as tall as a young tree, lithe, immensely strong, able to swiftly draw a great war-bow and shoot down a Nazgul, endowed with the tremendous vitality of Elvish bodies, so hard and resistant to hurt that he went only in light shoes over rock or through snow, the most tireless of all the Fellowship.." her lips quirked in a grin, "Legolas, son of Thranduil, king of Doriath." She gave a flourishing bow. "We welcome you into our midst."

Kaleb looked at the smaller blonde for a long moment, "you are a literary terror."

Lucy's laughter bubbled, "What? C'mon, you were pretty good looking before…but now? In platinum blonde and pretty, pretty lavender eyes?" she tilted her head, eyes dancing. "Elf boy."

"well, I guess it's hard to tell a male elf from a female one, right?" Vander grinned as he leaned against the blonde's head, "jeeze, how is it you're still short."

Lucy made a few mocking sounds and stomped on Vander's foot before slipping away and then hugging Kaleb, "Congrats, Elf boy." Her eyes were soft, despite the teasing, "can't wait to dress you up, we can totally do spa days now."

Xally grinned as she joined into the hug, "mani-pedi?"

"Face masks and mud baths," Emzadi purred as her arms wrapped around Kaleb from behind and he wasn't sure it was full blown fear, but apprehension that slowly rose in him. "And shopping…" oh, there it was. Dread.
