Chapter 4

"Uwahhh! Virgo! Where should we go? Magnolia is huuuuuugggeee!" Lucy switched on her bright smile as she strolled into the train with Virgo tracing behind, Lucy's luggage in her hand.

"Hime sama, I suggest the town with the famous hot things, especially the spa, Hotto Town." Virgo replied with her usual tone.

"UWAHHHH! LETS GO THERE! Its hot things isn't it? I love hot things!" Lucy exclaimed dancing around happily. But, its really Natsu who taught her into loving hot and burning items or places. That thought flew across her mind in seconds, and her body jerked stop. She panicked, then lowered her head and stomped foreword, desperately trying to fight back her tears.

"C'mon Virgo…the train…its leaving soon." Lucy wriggled into a smile as she staggered into the train. Virgo followed awkwardly behind.

The long hours on the train passed when Virgo went back into the spiritual world, and when Lucy fell asleep.

"Hey…wake up! This is the last stop, Hotto Town miss!" A soft voice sounded besides her ears that reminded her of mirajane's soothing and warm voice.

"Mmmmhhh?" Lucy whined sleepiness still drifting around her.

"C'mon! We're leaving!" The voice cheered. Lucy's eyes fluttered open, in front stood a girl with long black hair and small dark brown eyes. She was smiling with kindness and fun. She dragged Lucy up with one hand and carried all Lucy's luggage in the other.

"Ah!" Lucy gasped in surprise at the mysterious girl.

"You're a new one right? Lets go to my house!" The girl grinned as a beautiful place revealed itself in front of Lucy. The place was decorated with old fashioned bath houses and hot pot stores. Everything seemed hot and steaming but there were trees with huge blue flowers sprouting from it, spraying frosty mist. It cooled Lucy's burning body, almost immediately.

"You see. This place is all hot and stuff. But the famous mages here are all ice mages. Our town's the great ice demon slayer's birth place." The girl stopped and smiled proudly.

"Oh! And by the way, I'm Magi! You?" The girl…Magi said.

"Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Lucy Heartfillia." Lucy decided Magi was a good girl and wanted all her heart to be friends with her.

"Soooo, what's your magic?" Magi asked, her eyes glittering.

"It's Cele…" Lucy started with proud and confidence in her voice,

Lucy. You. Are. Too. Weak.

That cold voice almost seemed to haunt her. She was her most important person, like her family. Her whole team was. Her closest siblings and friends. But they were cruel her, they killed her pride.

"Celestial Magic…" Lucy whimpered, dropping down her head. She waited for Magi's tease, and was ready to hold up her tears.

"Eh…? What's that? I'm sorry…in this village people only teach the elements magic. Like ice, fire, water, lighting, wind et cetera. I have never heard of a magic called celestial magic…" Magi blinked her huge eyes and explained excited.

"You…you want to see it?" Lucy questioned, her confidence rising a little. Magi smiled, encouraging Lucy to continue.

"Open gate of the Lion! Loke!"

"At your humble service, Lucy sama." Loke appeared out of thin air, smiled as he hugged lucy from behind.

"WOW!" Exclaimed Magi,

"THAT'S SOOOOO AMAZING! AMAZING! I LOVE IT!"

"You…you do?" Lucy questioned as Loke lit up his fist with the glamorous light.

"So…do you think he is weak?"

"I haven't really seen him fight. But I bet he is strong. Although I don't know what type of relationship you guys have, you have to trust him okay? He is your magic. Trust yourself." Magi replied, determined and convincing. But something in Magi's eyes wavered. Like a stream of sadness Lucy thought.

"Anyways! What's with this talk? I still have to be a tour guide!" Popping the balloon of awkwardness and resuming the fun.

"Come with me! Our first stop is the famous hot tub!" Magi grabbed Lucy's hand and together they ran. Laughter exploded from Lucy's mouth, and she felt so light, so free and happy again. For what felt like years to her.

Sorry about the quality mina...school's been a bit busy these days.
