"Hmph…The time has determinately come." Gray inwardly smirked, but thoughts flooded his mind when he realized one thing...
"Lucy…" the ice mage narrowed his eyes, glancing at the young girl beside him who had her eyes glued to the stage ever since Makarov had arrived
The dark eyed mage had two choices to choose from, to leave or to stay with Lucy until her memories had come back. But, one mistake may damage their relationship so far…
"Gray." The blond inescapably uttered, the said male froze in his spot "What are you…"
Normal POV
"-doing there, all grumpy and sad?" the blond girl raised a brow "Aren't you happy? You get to compete!" she gave out a wide grin
"But…" the ice make mage trailed off as he stood quietly
"What?" Lucy asked, crossing her arms over her chest
"It's nothing…" Gray lifted a hand and placed it on her shoulder, the key bearer felt her pulse race quiescently by the sudden contact
'She definitely needs to know.' The dark eyed young man said in thoughts before turning around and headed to where Makarov was "Lucy, come with me." taking hold of the girl's petite arm, he tagged her along with him to the bar.
"Ah…Gray, do you need something?" Makarov, who was sitting on top of the bar's table, gave a suspecting look from the said mage in front of him
"Master…when will it take place?" Gray asked, not letting go of the grip from Lucy's arm "The trial…"
"It… it will ensue by the next week." The current master of Fairy Tail stated straightly without a hint as he took glances from Lucy to Gray
"…" the raven haired man remained silent for awhile before taking off again in a light speed while poor Lucy tried to catch up
"G-Gray? Wait…up…" the blond said in breaths, not minding the beads of sweat rolling down to her neck
After a moment of running mindlessly, Gray stopped right in front of a serene looking place. The air was fresh, and the view was pleasing.
A smile made its way up to Lucy's lips…
Gray released Lucy before looking at her intently, this got the said person nervous but tried to act calm.
"Lucy, you need to know something…" Gray said "Something very important…" he tugged the bottom of his lips downward
"Something important?" The question made Lucy put a finger to her lip, Gray blushed at the action but quickly brushed it off.
"Please take it seriously."
"I will, Gray." Lucy gave a gentle smile that was soft as the gentle rays of the spring sun, and Gray was struck speechless
"Uh…Lucy, did you know that you d-" Before the ice mage could even finish his statement, a poof sound came into and a strawberry blond man appeared before Gray.
"What are you two doing here?" The man pushed his black rimmed glasses up before a usual smile was shown from his stoic face.
"You…" A certain eye twitched in annoyance but, luckily Lucy didn't notice the small action "What are you..."
The air in the area chilled momentarily.
"Loke-san!" the young blond exclaimed happily, being oblivious to the tense atmosphere "What are you doing here?" she asked innocently
"Ah, I just happened to pass by!" Loke gave a grin to the girl though something about it was unsettling
Gray just kept glaring at the celestial spirit, who here by, took his chance to tell Lucy the truth behind everything about her and her memories.
'Damn Loke!' Gray hissed in his thoughts while killing the said person mentally in his head
"Why don't we talk?" the raven head said in a sing sang voice, putting up a fake smile
"Of course, why not?" the emerald eye spirit copied the same response that Gray did
"Lucy-" Gray turned to face her "Can you go there for a little while?" he asked nicely with a calm face, pointing to the direction
"Fine by me…" The key bearer anxiously muttered. She had no clue what happened between the two.

"What are you doing here?!" Gray retorted first, shaping his fists into a ball
"You were going to tell her." Loke stated as a glum expression became visible from his face
"She needs to know…" the dark eyed mage scratched the back of his head "This instance…"
"Lucy's going to get hurt, you idiot!" Loke yelled out "If she knew about 'that' every thing's gonna get worse!" his brows were stitched together, the spirit known as Leo had bitter and sadness written all over his face.
"At least she knew the truth, rather than being all clueless about her past life…!"
"I don't want Lucy to get hurt…I really don't…"
"We can't leave her like this…" Gray uttered quietly "Lucy still doesn't know-"
"I already know." Both males widened their eyes, there Lucy stood behind them with a dejected down in mouth look…
They didn't expect it to become like this…
Mademoiselle's Notes:
Sigh...sorry if it's short...
I have a life for those who do not know :P
Oh...things are going to get hard at the next chapter.
Tell me what you think about this, and by the way, boring is accepted...Because there's no saying that it isn't :)
