"I'm finally here," said Lucy as she swiped sweat from her forehead. "Who knew rowing could be such hard work." The Celestial Mage hoped out of the boat and got some rope, a peg, and a hammer rom her bag. She had thought if she hammered the rope to the sand and tied the rope to the mast of the boat; it wouldn't drift out to sea.

As she was putting the tools back her bag she noticed there was something blue. It was laying very snuggly in her bag… She grabbed it by the tail and said " HAPPY WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!"

"GAH… Lucy why did you have to wake me up so meanly, I was having a dream about fish," Happy said in an exasperated voice. As soon as he saw the scenery he piped down and asked in a confused manor. "Why are we on Tenrou Island again?"

Lucy responded " I don't know but I heard the magic council was here and…" Lucy cut herself off noticing Happy completely changed the subject " Wait a second, WHY WERE YOU IN MY BAG IN THE FIRST PLACE?"

"Well… I decided I would drop by your apartment because Natsu was snoring too loud and I couldn't get any sleep." Happy explained.

" Oh, but that still doesn't explain why you were in my bag…" Lucy restated. "It was because I had fallen?" Happy answered in a question like manner. " That sounded more like a question than an answer happy…" Sighed Lucy.

" Whatever, lets just go." She mumbled highly annoyed by the blue Exceed, as she walks down the sandy beach into the forest with the cat trailing her. As they get farther and farther from the coast, she starts to notice a trail of footprints in the gravel.

"Happy, did you notice these footprints before?" she asks in a bothered tone. "No, I didn't, maybe we should follow them, and they might lead to treasure!" Happy said excitedly. "I doubt that 's the case." Sighed Lucy as she responded to Happy's child like remarks. Lucy got out keys in case it was villain or monster or some other cliché. She was ready to fight, not that she was that type of person to go around starting fights, but if it was to protect her and friends she would. As they kept walking she noticed that the trees were denser and the ground was at an incline.

As they were walking Happy said he had felt a strong magic aura trudging away from the ruins.

"Lets go inside, oh and also Lucy, last one there is a loser!" Happy giggled as he flew at Max Speed leaving Lucy standing there in his dust. " Hey wait up!" She shouted as she ran as fast as she could. As the blue exceed flew inside he started to admire the wall designs and how ancient they looked. Then he whispered to himself 'almost as old as Lucy'. "I HEARD THAT!" Lucy wailed just walking in and at the top her lungs chasing the Exceed around. The blonde mage wasn't paying attention to where she was running and stepped on one of the traps meant for intruders (which they were). The trap was a string tied to a statue that was symmetrical to ne across the room. As soon as Lucy's foot touched the string, the ground crumbled beneath their feet and they fell through the floor. With the gravel no longer under their feet held on to each other as they rolled down the tunnel inside of the temple.

Although, they were dizzy and puzzled they were more flabbergasted at the sight that was in front of them. After recovering from their fall they could clearly see that there was a hidden lacrima in the room, but they didn't know why or how it got there. They had never seen anything so bright and colorful. It was a lacrima. It had rainbow colors from the light reflecting around the room. The lacrima itself was a light shade of blue with a golden glow in the center of it, and it was very large probably holding a lot of stored power, it was as long as a bus (36 to 37ft) and as tall as a small house (16ft).

"Ahhh! Lucy there's a person in there!" screamed a terrified Happy. "Calm down Happy, its just a prank or something…" Lucy reassured herself. "What kind of 'prank' looks this real?" Happy screamed again. Lucy took a closer look at the body inside of the lacrima. "It looks like a girl and her dog…"she whispered. "Umm, a dog, maybe we should just go," said Happy nervously. "Do you think they are alive?" asked Lucy ignoring the Exceeds last statement.

"Maybe we should help them break out of the lacrima." Said Lucy considerately reaching for her keys. " I don't think we should, there is an engravement that says to be examined." notified Happy. Lucy looked at the girl in the lacrima, her eyes were closed and she had golden blonde hair, and she was quite tan. She had a star necklace hanging around her neck and star earrings. She also cute dog-like ears, and she had faint green markings under her eyes. Lucy thought to herself 'she reminds me of the Coco that I met in Edolas.

Happy was staring intently at the dog. He noticed how it looked like an exceed, but it was a little bigger and well it was a DOG. He also noticed its foxlike tail and it's white patches of fur around its mouth and paw. Then Happy said, " Ok, maybe we should, but that dog stays far away from me." Lucy smiled at her friend as his wings appeared and used his Max Speed attack to break the lacrima.

"Open gate of the Golden Bull, Taurus!" said Lucy as she summoned her spirit. "Lucy-sama you look moovelous!" said the black and white Bull. "Ugh, could you please help break this lacrima?" said an annoyed and pestered Lucy.
