I am sorry if anyone is confused on this story but the point of the story is not to make sense until the end because a lot is going on and Lucy is in the middle of it.

Lucy chased Happy around her apartment as he flew above trying to avoid her grasp. She was laughing as Happy was panicking. A little earlier after they woke up she decided to give Happy a bath but he was far from cooperative.

"Happy get back here!"

"No!"

Lucy released a growl and kept chasing him around her apartment. She jumped to tackle him and they both tumbled onto her bed with Lucy curled into a ball and Happy crying in her arms. She got up and went over to the bathroom to give Happy a bath. She opened her bathroom door only to hear her door slam open. She turned around quickly to see the last people on earth she wanted to see, her old teammates. Her eyes harden and her grip on happy increased. Happy let out a little squeak in surprise but managed to get her to loosen her grip on him by licking her hand.

"What do you want?" Lucy's voice was callous and cold different from the warm glow the usually filled her voice.

"We need you to come with us Lu-chan." Levy sounded calm but on the inside she was shaking from the fierce glare she was receiving from Lucy.

Lucy could only snort while Happy released a hiss. His fur was standing on end and his pupils were dilated to a point that only his black pupil was seen. He quickly got out of Lucy's grasp and grabbed Lucy then flew out the window. Their cries reached their ears but they kept on going.

Soon they were followed by the exceeds caring the dragon slayers. Happy made a quick nose dive into the forest and plunged into the water with Lucy still in his grasp. Then shot back out when the dragon slayers were hovering over the water. It sent them tumbling back in surprise and took them a while to regain their senses which gave Happy enough time to go deeper into the forest and hid within the brush. He was panting, nearly collapsed from exhaustion but he was happy to have gotten Lucy away from those who caused he pain. He looked up to see the Dragon slayers landing next to them but that little dip in the river hid their sent. The confusion was edged on their faces and Happy smiled in relief.

He looked over to Lucy to see her look conflicted with the emotions of anger, fear, and regret. Happy gently placed his paw on her knee and sent her a reassuring look. Then got quick as the slayers started talking.

"Damn that Happy. Salamander what is with that cat of yours?" snapped Gajeel

"He only wants to protect Lucy Gajeel. You can't blame him for that. After all we put her through." Natsu's voice held a thing of maturity that no one has heard before. He was filled with regret and blamed himself for everything. He allowed himself to ignore his basic instinct to protect what was his and then let it slip away.

"That doesn't matter right now Salamander that damn fairy is going to pop up and take her somewhere soon and it's best she hears from us and not from that thing."

"Hey! I am not a thing. I have name which you are not privy to know." Snapped a small feminine voice

They three slayers jumped in surprise and their eyes narrowed which was something rare of Wendy to do. They released a growl and nearly swatted the voice away. The voice in turn giggled and flew over to Happy and Lucy's hiding spot. Happy blinked in surprise when he came face to face with a small fairy that looked rather amused. She smiled and flew back out.

"They are right here under your noses."

Happy's eyes grew big and tried to fly off with Lucy but he was grabbed by Wendy and Lucy was grabbed by Natsu who pulled her into a bone crushing hug and whispered something into her ear causing her eyes to widen in shock. Then push him away. Her face was red with embarrassment. The fairy giggled but soon became serious and nodded her head at Natsu who in turn reluctantly nodded back. The fairy quickly mumbled a spell and sent them to an open field.

They all looked around to see nothing but grass and felt the air suddenly become heavy and hard to breathe. Everyone except the fairy fell over gasping for air. Happy glanced to his left to see a blur of red collapse onto the ground.

The fairy flew over them and shook her head but soon disappeared again leaving behind a list of instructions. That she hoped they would follow. Not long after she disappeared they all woke up. Happy looked around and got a better look of the place they were at. It was a field that seemed to be glowing with overflowing magic.

The sounds of more people waking up caught his attention. His fur stood on end when he saw the rest of Team Natsu with the exceeds, Levy, Laxus, Wendy, Gajeel and Makarov. He quickly scanned the field for Lucy but could not find her. She had disappeared among the lights and from the distressed growl released from Natsu's mouth, he knew something was wrong.

"Where is Lucy?"

"I don't know. The only thing I remember is a light than blacking out here."

"Hey there's a letter." Wendy stated

They all gathered around it and read off the instructions provided by the fairy.

Alright here is a list of things I need all of you to do when training Lucy:

Once a week immerse her in the stream not too far from where you are laying to replenish her magic

Don't let up on her when she is nearing exhaustion push her beyond that because that is the only way to awaken her inert ability.

Never under any circumstances tell her the truth!

Have her summon her strongest spirits at once during the second week of training and no it will not kill her because this is a realm of pure magic. Which is why all of you passed out.

I will be checking in once a month to see how she is progressing. So leave a bowl of Black cherries out at the end of the month.

Final rule never let Lucy leave this realm!

Okay now get to it.

Ps. Do not eat anything in this realm. Unless you want to remain trapped her for eternity

The letter soon glowed causing Wendy to drop it and they watched as it transformed back into Lucy. Natsu quickly moved her to the strange cottage located near the stream the fairy was talking about.

"I suggest my children that we rest because tomorrow Lucy's training will commence and I fear that every protective bone in our body will have to be broken in order to protect. So get some rest and Happy as of now you are Lucy's only friend." Makarov sadly stated

The rest nodded their head and laid down each filled with thoughts of regret. Natsu laid Lucy down on to the bed and walked away and with every step he hardened his heart to feel no pain or fear of hurting his best friend. Tomorrow he needed to be the trainer from hell and having feelings for his best friend would only hold him back. He spared one last glance at Lucy and Happy before he too succumbed to sleep.

Little did the sleeping mages know that same fairy the told them to do this was watching them with saddened eyes. Her head was down cast and the look of longing remained on her face. She blinked and quickly wiped away the stray tear that had formed and flew off, leaving behind a blooming black flower that shined purple in the moonlight.

Here is the next chapter. The middle of it didn't go as planned but hey I just had to go with the flow. Also thank you to everyone that has read, followed, favorite and reviewed this story. Until next chapter Adios. :D
