Chapter two

Aquarius floated in a deep level of the celestial world, meditating and focusing her powers. She was having a really peaceful time away from all those morons when she felt her key come in to contact with water. She groaned as she knew she was about to be summoned, whatever reason would her key be in water for otherwise? She prepared herself to pass through the gate. Nothing happened. She could tell her key was still in water, and from the temperature very cold one too so why wasn't she summoned? A thought crossed her mind. That little brat better not have dropped my key again? She waited for another minute and then when she didn't feel the gate pull her through, used her own magic to force it open. "You little br-" she was fully prepared to lecture and then blast the poor girl. She didn't expect to see her unconscious and lying at the bottom of the river bed, on the brink of death. She reacted on pure instinct; she only thought to protect her master and friend. She grabbed Lucy and pulled her into the celestial world. The minute Lucy had arrived there was a flash of light and her other spirits arrived, pulled by the presence of their master. "Lucy!" Leo yelled dashing to her side. "OUTTA MY WAY IDIOT" Aquarius banged him on the head with her urn and then focused her magic on Lucy. A stream of water gushed from her mouth and she coughed and spluttered, squinting at her new surroundings. The spirits crowded around her, all wanting to make sure she was all right. "MOVE!" Aquarius pointed her urn and blasted the spirits the other spirits out of her way. "Do you have to be so mean" Leo grumbled, shaking his mane out, splattering water everywhere. "You are not worthy of my answer" Aquarius hissed and instead turned to Lucy, "what could have possibly provoked you to suicide and why did it have to be in my domain?" she cocked one of her eyebrows and waited for an answer. "SUICIDE?" her spirits exclaimed.

"She could've been unconscious"

"She could have been pushed"

"It could have been an accident"

"ENOUGH!" the water bearer snapped. "The little brat knows how to swim, I thought her myself for the kings sake". Back and forth the spirits argued, Aquarius constantly tempted to drown them all, until Lucy stood. "She is right" her voice quavered "I did try to k-kill m-myself" hot tears rolled down her cheek. Shook filled the atmosphere. Then the dam burst:

"Why?"

"What could've possibly made you try that?"

"Princess how could you even think abou-"

BOOM! Aquarius swung her urn once more and the spirits quieted down after receiving a mouth full of sea water. "you are smothering the poor girl" the spirits stared at her in shock, did Aquarius actually defend Lucy? Aquarius took a few calming breaths and then turned and to everyone's surprise sat next to Lucy. "Tell me everything".
