Sorry I took long than usual for updating! I just didn't feel like typing. So, yeah. Anyhow, I keep making changes to the plot, and I don't know if that's a good idea. It's more so that I'm dragging the story out.

Also, thanks for all the support! 64(?) follows, and it's not even two months old yet! The fact that I wasn't even sure that anyone would read and that I'm a new author, just makes it mean more! Thanks so much! I've seen stories that are years old, and don't have that many follows and favorites.

Anyway, that's it for now, type to you at the end of the chapter.

Stars Were Meant For Light; Chapter 09: Favor

Sting's P.O.V

'Story-time' had just finished, and I was prepared to be bombarded by questions – from Frosch, of course. Rogue already knew the just of the matter, so he didn't ask anything. And Lector, he already knew most of the story; from when I first told him about her.

"So Miss Fairy was your first friend?" Frosch asked, while the rest of us sighed. Frosch may be the closest person to Rogue, but sometimes he is just too… slow. I just nodded in response to her question, and, surprisingly, didn't get asked anymore questions.

I heard a groan from behind me. I turned, and saw Lucy stir in her sleep. My lips curved upwards, ever so slightly. She was never one to stay still in her sleep – not then and not now. Even so, she was still the light that taught me to live my life to the fullest.

Turing my attention back to the others, I asked, "So, what did you need, Rogue?"

"I was just wondering what you were doing. Beside," He said, "It's not like I talk to anyone else in the guild." I nodded in understanding.

Rogue and I were considered the strongest in the guild. And, in Sabertooth, the strong did not converse with the weak. Of course, there were some of the strong members of Sabertooth, but we rarely talked to them.

Wow, guess I never noticed how socially awkward we were.

"You'll never have a friend, unless you're willing to give them a chance."

Those words…

Year X783; December 14th

I had just been rescued by some random blonde, who decided to take me in. I wasn't really listening to her blabber on about random things. I caught a few things – why she ran away, what magic she uses – but something came to my mind.

"How come you just decided to take care of me?" I asked, interrupting what she was talking about.

She stopped walking, looked at me, and smiled, "Well, like I mention earlier, I consider you my friend."

"How?" I pressed further, "We just met; you don't know anything about me!"

She giggled, "So? That doesn't mean anything! You'll never have a friend, unless you're willing to give them a chance."

My eyes widened in surprise – she really wasn't pulling my leg about befriending – or trying to, at least – me.

I wasn't sure what I was feeling, but I felt something warm. Right inside my chest.

Year X791; Present

I guess I never really listened to her. Maybe I should start. I shook my head, trying to focus on the present.

"So, what are you going to do, Sting?" Lector asked.

I shrugged. I didn't even know what to do. But, I wanted to spend the day with Lucy. It was still early – around two-thirty (2:30PM).

Suddenly, something popped into my mind, "You guys mind doing me a favor?"

"Anything for the Great Sting!" Lector said, pumping his fist in the air, Frosch backing him up with a 'Yeah!'

"Wait," Rogue said, "What is it you want us to do?"

Of course, Rogue would be the one to double check. I sighed, "You know that red-head from Fairy Tail? Erza Scarlet?" Rogue nodded, "Well, she knows about 'this,'" I said, motioning towards Lucy, "So, I want you to tell her that I'm going to be keeping her for the night. If you don't," I continued, "We'll probably have a full out war with Fairy Tail."

Rogue just nodded, showing that he agreed. He took the exceeds, and left. I turned back around, and went back over to Lucy. I picked her up, and moved her to the other side of the bed. Soon afterwards, I got on the bed, as well. I pulled her closed to me, and held on the her tightly – just like she did to me, when I was smaller than her.

"Boy, is it good to finally have you back…." I whispered in her ear, before drifting off to sleep.

Rogue's P.O.V

"Hey, Rogue," I heard Lector say, "Do you even know where to find her?"

I shook my head, "No, but it shouldn't be hard. People stay out of my way, and we should be done in no time."

We continued to walk in silence, the occasional stop to look around. I wasn't going to ask people, for reasons more than one. Those being, one: if anyone found out that a twin dragon was looking for Fairy Tail, news would spread – quickly. If the master found out, it would be difficult to explain.

Two: Fairy Tail was the weakest guild in Fiore, nobody would have clue where there inn was. Unless, of course, they were a Fairy.

After about an hour or two, I smelt something familiar. The smell of crisp papers and lavender. It was faint, most likely because of the mass amount of people out in the streets. I quickly picked up Lector and Frosch, and dashed towards the source of the smell.

Soon, I found the source. She was sitting outside a café, drinking, presumably, some type of coffee, a muffin on the table.

I approached her, "Would you mind assisting me, Levy?"

Levy's P.O.V

After Erza's little 'speech,' I left the arena. I was quite parched, and decided I would go 'touring' for a little bit. Grabbing a brochure of Crocus, that I kept on-hand just incase, I looked under the 'food' section. I scanned the brochure, and found a nice little café, named: 'Pociones.'

I swiftly made my way down the crowded streets. Luckily, this café was on the same street as our inn.

Along the way, I heard people talking about the games – some praising Sabertooth, others commenting on Raven Tail's participation, and some besmirching Fairy Tail. But, like Erza said, we'll turn that around.

Finally, I made my way in the café. I sat down outside, and a waiter came to get my order. I ordered a small coffee and blueberry muffin.

While waiting, I thought about everything that has happened so far. I mostly can't believe that I saw Rogue again! And, now, he's all grown up. He's taller than me now, which was expected. He's grown into a strong mage, stronger than me, most likely.

The waiter brought my coffee and muffin, while interrupting my thoughts. Soon after the waiter left, I started counting the things that were different about Rogue.

While counting the things that were different about him, someone interrupted my thoughts, "Would you mind assisting me, Levy?"

I jumped in surprise, and turned my head – only to find the very person I was looking for.

"Rogue! What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I was looking for someone, and was wondering if you could help." I looked at him. He had two exceeds with him: a red one, who was wearing a blue jacket, and a green one in a frog suit.

I quickly turned my attention back to Rogue, before I start gushing at how cute the one in the frog suit was. "Who may that be?" I asked, while picking up my muffin.

"Erza Scarlet."

That name made me drop my muffin.

Again, like most chapters, short - but never under one thousand (1,000) words!

I don't really have anything to type anymore, so that's it.

Don't forget to tell me what you think of the story!
