Chapter 7: New Guild?

Italics mean Thoughts or Flashback

Bold means Letters to Mom, Shouga, or Team Natsu

Sadly, I do NOT own any of Hiro Mashimas' work, only the O.C's that come later!

(Lucy's P.O.V)

"You know, you didn't have to pay for these keys for me." I said quite guilty.

"Nah, it isn't a problem. Plus you seemed pretty desperate and pitiable for those keys, so I decided to help out. Why is that a crime, Blondie?" Laxus laughed again as he saw my cheeks puff out again. I suppose that is my new thing with him, just having my cheeks puff out like that when he says Blondie.

We were only 2 minutes away from the magic shop until Laxus asked me a striking question, "So, where do you plan to go and do now?

I pondered at the question in my thoughts for an answer until I finally thought of one. "Well, I plan on traveling all over Fiore and training to get stronger, just like you, I guess."

He had blush a dark red in the cheeks at my comment towards him until he spoke again and said, "Now that you quit Fairy Tail, why not join a different guild for the time being, that way you get experience and earn jewels from every mission you do."

"That's a GREAT idea Laxus, why didn't I think of it before?!" I said excitedly.

"I know, IM A GENIUS!" He said while acting pretty humble and smart with the idea he gave me.

Continuing from his earlier idea he asked, "Do you have any idea what guild you would like to join?

"Actually… I would like to join the guild, Blue Pegasus. I have friends over there and would like to see them after such a long time."

"OK, that's only 2 days away if you were to walk and only 1 day if you were to take a train. Also, it's southwest of Hargeon." Laxus explained to me.

"That's great news, now lets head to the train station." I said rather cheerfully to him.

"OH HELL NOOO!" Laxus yelled at me while getting sickly green in the face.

"What the hell is you deal-WAIT…you have serious motion sickness, don't you?" I questioned him while having an evil smirk.

"NO SHIT SHERLOCK! We'll be walking!" Laxus said right in front of my face that I could practically hear him breathing. While people around us were starting to stare at the two of us.

I then got up into his face and said, "No way, I HATE walking long distances, plus why do you even want to come and help me out?"

He backed up about 2 feet from my angered face and said with a grin on his face and said, "Cause, I got nothing else better to do, so might as well travel somewhere for now. Is that alright with you, Blondie?" Laxus said.

"Yeah it's alright with me, BUUUUTTT, we're taking the train. I have a ULTRA SECRET WEAPON for your motion sickness." I said while grabbing my key ring and looking for a special key.

"Oh, and what would that be?" He said questionably.

I finally found the new silver key and said, "I'm the one who connects the paths to the Stellar Spirit World, Thou shalt answer my call and transverse the gate. Smoke had then appeared around my body until I then spun my key in the air and continued with, "Open Gate of the Healing God, Appolis!"

A clear, white smoke had appeared around my body and soon enough Appolis has appeared right in front of me and Laxus.

He took a respectful bow in front of me and said, "Hello Master, how can I help you today?" Appolis said while straightening up from his earlier bow.

"Hi Appolis, my name is Lucy Heartfila and it's a pleasure meeting you…can you do me a favor by casting a spell on the blondie right here so you can disable his motion sickness for a day?" I asked kindly to the new spirit.

"Why of course Master." In which he bowed again to me and moved to the right where Laxus was standing, then casted the spell. A beautiful and mystifying green light came from Appolis' hands as he put them in front of Laxus' chest and began an incantation. Soon enough, that once green light turned blue before it completely disappeared into Laxus.

"The deed is done now, Master, do you need anything else at the moment?" He questioned.

"No thank you Appolis, but you can address me as Lucy. I'm your friend and partner now, NEVER a master or owner, so hope we can get along much more into the future." I said while smiling at the surprised spirit.

He then came up close to me and gave me a warming hug, in which I have returned back to him. He had said something to me that really made my heart flutter and nice which was, "Thanks Lucy. I've heard from many different spirits and rumors that most people treat their spirits like trash or quite awful for the matter. However, it seems that you are NOT one of those people and I'm glad to have someone like you by my side."

I looked at him and said, "Thank you Appolis that means a real lot…especially coming from my spirits."

"I guess that I will see you later then." Appolis said while letting go of our hug. He then disappeared into a big, yellow cloud of smoke that left Laxus and I in a coughing fit.

(Meanwhile in the Stellar Spirit World: 3rd Person)

"WHAT THE HELL BRO! You trying to make a move on Lucy. AFTER JUST MEETING HER!" The angry lion spirit roared at the healing god.

"Chill out man, it was just a hug. I mean, after all those rumors about stellar spirit mages being awful towards us spirits, I guess I felt grateful to her." Appolis had explained to Leo.

"OK, I can relate to your thoughts. Some of us spirits had previous owners and they treated us like dirt. However, when we met Lucy, a new light was brought into us and we managed to get along with one another. Lucy indeed loves and is loved by all of us, just like her mother before her." Loke had said to him.

"Dude…THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!" Appolis had said excitedly to Loke.

"Thanks, this could be the start of a beautiful BRO-mance." Loke then said to his fellow spirit.

"COOOL!" They both yelled while giving each other a fist bump.

BRO-MANCE OFFICIALLY STARTED!

(Back to Earthland: Lucy's P.O.V)

We had just finished coughing from the smoke that Appolis had produced before leaving back to the Stellar Spirit World.

"Ready to get on the train, Blondie?" I asked Laxus as he smirk right back at me.

"Way to go, using my blondie nickname for you twice already. I'm glad that I've spent the day with you. You seem so nice to your celestial spirits and they also return the love. I remember meeting other mages that use gate keys like you, but ALWAYS had their spirits depressed. So, now that I'm all healed, lets head out to the train station." Laxus said.

I blushed at his comment of comparing myself with my spirits and also other mages. "Honestly, I don't get how people could abuse their spirits. Even though they could annoy the hell out of me, I just remember that they are my good friends who protect me and also what good would it do if I were to hurt them. I also try and say, 'What if I was to be the spirit, would I want to treat them that way?' Finally, I always think that they would be with me to the bitter end of a dire situation as I would be with them. In my opinion, celestial spirits are sent down to this earth to be our companions…not our servants that cater to every whim….and they have emotions and feelings just like us humans do." I said to Laxus, who currently had an awe struck expression.

"That was very deep, I never knew that magic could be beautifully said before." Laxus answered to me.

"Thanks…so lets head to the train station!" I said while getting ahead of him.

"HOLD ON BLONDIE!" Laxus yelled while trying to catch up to me.

With that, Laxus and I were both headed to the train station that was on the way to Blue Pegasus, and also my next new home.

My 7th chapter is finally done! Lucy has a new goal in life, joining Blue Pegasus! Will that be a good idea or a horrible idea? So, how will Laxus be on the train now that he's all healed up?! Also, who will Lucy and Laxus encounter when boarding the train later? STAY TUNED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER and I'll see ya later! PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
