FTP: Now off to chappy 3! *Ft cheers along with FTP*
"Can I hold her?" asked an unusually embarrassed Salamander.
Lucy had drifted off to sleep minutes before and was now laying on Erza's lap looking small and fragile like the guild had never seen her before. Right then Natsu took the opportunity to come close and check on his friend.
"Be careful not to wake her up," Erza told him as she placed her comfortably in the Fire mae's warm and strong arms.
He looked down at her and grinned as the little figure in his arms moved closer to his chest placing a tiny hand on his vest clutching it possessively. He looked up at his smiling nakama and gave them his toothiest and happy smile.
"There's hope fire brain," Gray chuckled smacking Natsu playfully on his back.
Natsu grumbled back and was about to kick the stupid ice block when he saw Erza glaring at him a warning in her eyes and he immediately remembered he was holding Lucy in his hands and went back to looking at her.
"Look at him he's so captivated," Mira giggled, "So who's gonna take her now?"
Everyone immediately looked at Erza who raised one eyebrow giving them a 'what' look.
"She really bonded with you you're were surprisingly so motherly towards her," Levy told her
"We can't leave her on her own in her apartment she'll have to stay at fairy hills until she's back to normal," Mira continued while Erza finally realized what they were saying, "I'll send someone to take care of the place till then,"
"Don't I have a say in this?" the exquip mage asked
At that Levy and Mira gave her their most astonishingly convincing puppy eyes and Erza sighed relenting. Deep down though she didn't mind, she remembered all those emotions she had seen in the younger mage's eyes, she knew some of them very well, if this was what it took to help Lucy, then she would do it. And then wasn't there Natsu as well.
"Erza you're back so soon is everything okay," the youngest of the takeover siblings asked as Erza and an unusually close Natsu came in Fairy Hills.
"Oh Natsu Happy is upstairs playing with Charle and Wendy, we just finished cleaning and oh my…," Lisanna stopped as she saw the young blond girl in Erza's arms sleeping peacefully.
"Oh how cute! Wait…i-i-is that who I think it is?"
"It's Luce," the two replied in synch
"Natsu what did you do! This isn't how you capture your woman's hearts," Lisanna shook her head, no matter how hard she tried to help Natsu and Lucy the two were really hopeless sometimes.
"HEY! How do you know it was me! Don't accuse without…"
"It was him," Erza said in a serious and still angry tone making Natsu sweat seven shirts and gulp.
Lisanna smiled at this seeing how Natsu didn't even move from next to Erza even though she wasg iving him her scariest expression and all that just to be next to the now re-aged Lucy.
'Mira is going to love this,'
"Natsu!" a small blue blur shouted moving in on Natsu and hugging his face not letting go until the poor Dragon Slayer slipped and fell on his sorry bottom.
Happy laughed and grinned back at the white cat that came in flying after him and a small blue-haired girl. The three of them then turned to Erza and stared for what liked seemed an eternity to the child she was carrying until Natsu got up rubbing his poor bottom it was then that they broke the silence all together.
"Natsu what did you do to Lucy!" Happy cried in horror overreacting like he always did
"Salamander, you really did it this time," Charle the white cat said shaking her head disapprovingly her arms crossed on her chest.
"Natsu-kun, why did you turn Lucy-chan into a kid?" Wendy asked perplexed
"Why does everyone think it was my fault?"
"Because it always is…" they all replied and laughed when Natsu responded by pouting and turning his head indignantly away from them.
After they had explained everything to Lisanna and the others Erza made way to her room holding the hand of the now awake and yawning Lucy. Natsu had ran faster than light when he saw her waking up not wanting to frighten her, Erza knew he would be sleeping on the tree right in front on her rooms window. There was no way Natsu would leave Lucy's side not until she warmed up to him and changed back.
"You're unusually quiet," Erza commented hoping to spark a conversation and understand what was troubling her friend.
The girl sulked and looked at her feet not responding. Erza scratched her face confused as to how to approach this reserved Lucy, 'maybe if I try to relate to her it would be better…'
Lifting Lucy and putting her on her bed she climbed up and sat in front of her and hoped that this would work.
"I had a friend once, his name was Jellal and we were inseparable," erza began opting to leave out the slavery part and how Jellal had lost his sanity, "but someone took him away from me and changed him,"
Lucy looked up to her and so Erza continued seeing that she had caught Little Lucy's attention, "Me and my friend had to fight against him to bring him to his senses, Natsu was incredible if it weren't for him I wouldn't be here…"
"Scary man?" Lucy whispered finally speaking up.
Erza chuckled and ruffled her shiny blond locks, "He's not as bad as you think he is, he may be an idiot but he has a good heart, give him a chance okay?"
Little Lucy looked deep in thought for a second and then nodding at Erza although she didn't look very convinved, "What happened to Jellal-san?"
"He came back one day and turned over a new leaf unexpectedly even though he didn't remember anything of his past until the very end, when the council took him away to be punished," Erza said tears she didn't notice until she tasted their salty nature streaming down her face.
"Mummy always said that as long as you love a person they will always be with you right here," Lucy murmured pointing at Erza's heart. Then she looked at the door of the room and right then a magical circle appeared on the door, Erza remained transfixed as she watched little Lucy jump down the bed and headed to open the door. She stretched finally getting hold on the door knob and opened it to a bright light where there would usually be the dorms hallway.
"Hello there," a voice called down and two strong hands lifted little Lucy up and patted her on the head.
"Young lady would you be so nice to tell me where I am?" a blue haired man with a tattoo on the right side of his face asked smiling gently at Lucy.
Erza could only gape at him until she finally got her voice back the only thing she could say was, "Jellal?"
Meanwhile outside they listened to the rustling of leaves followed by a heard a cry of 'UWWAAA' and a thud. They all blinked at each other as they heard Salamander's shout of "JELLAL!"
"He's as lively as ever," Jellal chuckled and then looked down at Erza who had not moved from her position on the bed and said with a voice bursting with so many different emotions, "Hi Erza,"
"Hi,"
"JELLAL!" Natsu cried bursting into the room while Lucy hid her face in Jellal's neck at the sight of him.
'It's going to be a long night and it's still eight' Erza thought making an exasperated sound.
