"LUCY'S BACK! LUCY'S BACK! SHE'S BACK! SHE'S BACK!" Natsu yelled happily as he linked his arms with some of the other Guild Members. His face practically screamed out happiness.
Gray was the only one, not celebrating as he kept an eye on Lucy.
He created some Ice creations handing them over to her.
She giggled with happiness as she played with the ice houses and animals being created one by one by Gray.
Gray smiled as he patted her blonde hair.
He had remembered that old Lucy had loved his ice sculpture, the first one he made for her was an Ice Dog, it was miniature and had quite amazing details. He created it because he really didn't know what to get her. But, she loved it, and a few weeks before her death, he found out that she had kept it in her freezer. He doesn't know what happened to it when her apartment was evicted.
Then his face splattered with realization.
"Erm... Lucy-chan?" He said, still not quite used to saying her name with an honorific yet.
Lucy lifted her head, averting her attention from the creations and to the ice mage.
"Yes?"
"Don't you have parents?"
With this one little comment, the Guild had silenced and had whipped their heads to the two.
Lucy shook her head as she set down an ice giraffe on the table she was sitting on.
"I was raised in an orph.." Her face went blank as she had trouble pronouncing it. "..orph.. orphanage.. I ran away because I wanted to join Fairy Tail."
Cana's beer mug, splattered to the floor when she heard Lucy's story.
Erza made her way to the table.
"So you don't have any family, Lucy-chan?"
Lucy grinned, shaking her head.
"Lucy-chan's family is Fairy Tail!"
The Guild got simultaneous blushes as the little girl picked up the animals again.
"So where do you live Lucy-chan?" Lisanna asked as she sat down on the separate table facing the little girl.
Lucy shrugged, just as Happy flew his way over to greet Mini-Lucy.
"Happy!" She stretched out her arms towards the cat. He happily flew into her arms, missing the warmth Lucy use to give off.
That's when Natsu darted next to Lucy, his lopsided grin plastered on his face.
"Don't worry Luce!" He flinched a bit, after saying Lucy's nickname for the first time in years. He quickly recovered as he faced Lucy. "You can live with me and Happy!"
"Aye!''
Gray snickered.
"Like we would trust Lucy-chan in the hands of an idiot like you!"
Natsu glared at the teen.
"Shut up underwear prince! At least I have my shirt on!"
Gray cringed, a bit embarrassed that he had stripped in front of a little girl. But, when he looked down his navy colored shirt was still on.
"You lied! Stupid ash brain!"
Natsu stuck his tongue out childishly at him.
"Made you look snowball!"
Before, Erza could do anything about their pointless fight, Lucy did.
"NO FIGHTING!" Her squeaky, yet echoing voice stopped the two boys dead in their tracks.
"A... aye.. Lucy-chan!" The two quivered in unison.
The little girl smiled in satisfaction as she planted herself back on the table.
"Of course she can stay with me, Mira-nee, and Elfman-nii! Having siblings are good influences for children!" Lisanna stated, having to finish her statement, she sat back down, sure that they'll agree to let Lucy stay with her and her siblings.
"Yes, that would be a good choice." Mirajane stated as she set a cup of chocolate milk on the table next to Lucy, she happily accepted it, drinking away on the red straw.
"YES! A MAN!" Elfman shouted, making the rest of the guild sweatdrop.
"On the contrary!" Levy piped.
"Does Lucy-chan like to read?" Lucy's face lit up, as she nodded vigorously.
"Then she should come live with me and Gajeel."
Gajeel heard his name, and immediately spit out the beer he was drinking a while ago.
Gray shook his head.
"Lucy-chan seems to like my ice creations. She could come crash at my house!"
Everybody seemed to be a bit shocked that Gray actually offered his place.
This, caused an entire uproar at the guild, as everybody fought to see who will Lucy stay with.
That is until Erza piped up.
"ENOUGH!"
Everybody turned to the red head, she was fuming, an angry tick throbbing dangerously on her head.
"Lucy-chan will stay in Fairy Hills." Her face then lit up with the mixture of pride and happiness. "Preferably with me."
Thus, creating another stupid fight.
"OKAY!" Makarov's voice, rivaling Erza's, rang through everyone's ears, silencing the guild.
"Where does Lucy-chan want to live?"
Everybody turned to the girl, using bribery, and their best baby voices to try and convince her that they were the best choice.
Lucy blinked.
"Um... I pick..."
But, before the little girl could make her choice, a bright flash brightened the room for a mere second, and there standing, suddenly holding Lucy protectively in his arms, was a recognizable boy, with spiky ginger hair and greenish shades.
"Are you actually pressuring my little princess into staying into one of your homes?" He asked in a demanding, accusing tone.
Everybody gawked when they saw the boy.
"LOKI?"
Everybody's been asking me about Lucy-chan's magic, and hopefully you got the hint in this story.
If you don't, I'll lay it out for you.
1) Loki
2) Loki
And 3) LOKI!
Until next time! But for now...
