Chapter 3

Lucy swung her legs, she was currently sitting by the bar. Sipping carelessly from a tall glass of sweet, pink lemonade.

She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking around the guild. It was only a few mere days for her but a whole year for everyone else.

Nothing much obviously changed, other than Asuka growing a little bit taller and Romeo and Wendy suspiciously hanging out a lot more together.

``Oi!``A masculine voice shook Lucy out of her deep thinking, ``Lucy!`` Said blonde looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Haru waving his hands like a maniac.

``Hey, Haru.`` She smiled softly, her eyes twinkling. ``What's up?``

Haru grinned toothily, ``The sky. Duh.`` He replied, quickly taking the seat next to her. He waved to Mirajane, ``Can I get a chocolate milkshake?`` He asked politely.

Mirajane smiled, then cooed at Lucy and Haru, ``Of course!`` She answered over-enthused. She clapped her pale hands together, then scurried off to make the order.

``Wanna get a job?`` Haru asked, tapping his fingers on the bar.

Lucy groaned, ``Nah.`` She shook her head, ``Today's gonna be a lazy day for me. I'm beat!`` She said.

``Ah. You're such a killjoy. I live for the adrenaline!``

Lucy sweat dropped, ``Right, cool.``

Mirajane went to them, then set down a tall glass filled with a chocolate milkshake. What caught Lucy's attention was the heart decoration and the two straws. ``I figured it would be so cute for you to share a milkshake.`` She gushed happily, ``I'll leave you to it!`` She sang then glided away.

Lucy blushed, her cheeks rivalling the great Titania's hair.

``Lu-chan!`` A girlish voice said happily, Lucy turned her head to see Levy skipping happily to her.

Lucy smiled, ``Levy-chan!`` She squealed happily.

Levy pouted childishly, ``How come you didn't tell me you would be away for a year!`` She reprimanded, ``You left me on a total cliffhanger on your book!``

The blonde smiled sheepishly, ``Whoops. I went on a long-term mission, you know the drill.`` She giggled nervously, ``So what'd I miss?``

``Well, Gajeel and I are finally together!`` Levy happily squealed, hopping slightly.

``Wow.`` Lucy whistled, ``Everyone so saw that coming.``

``Oh, Shutup!`` Levy whined, hiding her face behind a curtain of unruly blue hair.

Oh geez! I'm sorry for forgetting about this book! I left you on a cliff for about a year! Sorry this is a filler, but the next chapter will have more drama in it!
