"I'm so sorry that it has taken me forever to update, not that it matters but I have been going through really nasty personal issues. Also since I have seen that some of you are not happy with the way Lucy is acting... I just have to say sorry, not sorry. This is how she is acting in this story of mine, don't like it don't read it. Everyone is acting out of character in case you haven't noticed. I will be doing my best to post more frequently. I really appreciate everyone who is sticking with this story.

I do not own fairy tail.

Time skip several days later Lucy's POV

It's been so nice these past few days but I cant stay here with him for long, I'll just get attached if I linger. I have to figure out what I'm going to do when I leave. Hmmm... Justin did mention that if I needed anything he would help me out, I wonder if he knows of a place i can go.

"Justin? Justin I need to ask you something."

"What is it darling?"

"I can't figure out where to go when I leave in two months, I was thinking I might travel around aimlessly but I would much rather have a destination in mind so I can train better."

"I have the perfect place for you! But, you are leaving in two months? Why leave a month early? I thought you were happy?"

"I am, I just... I want to get my training started so I can get my head together, I also don't want to make things harder on either of us and get more emotionally involved." Oh no he looks so upset. "I didn't mean it like that, I just. It's just. we only get four months together at a time and I don't want either of us to be. Oh this isn't coming out right."

"I understand, we will both have to go back to different worlds as much as we wish to stay together."

"Let's not waste the time we have with wishes that cannot come true. You were saying though, you know the perfect place?"

"That I do, I bought 50 acres up a mountain a little ways from a quaint town only 4 days travel from here because it was a quiet place, I'll sign it over to you. It's the least I can do for you. It has any resources you might need, a forest with wild life, I understand the land is very fertile should you choose to plant anything, and, there is even a small lake on the property."

"That sounds wonderful! I wouldn't want to put you out though."

"Nonsense, and now that you have your training area, just enjoy your time with me."

He is so nice to me, I hope he doesn't think I'm taking advantage of him, then again, he did offer.

Normal POV

Lucy and Justin spend their remaining time together cuddling, having sex, and getting Lucy back to normal. Justin escorts Lucy to her new residency and they agree that while they both care about each other, they should no longer be intimate to avoid further complications. Justin still insists that he will take care of her if she needs anything and they agree to keep in touch.

Lucy finally gets started on her training. After only five months she is able to keep all of her spirits out for over thirteen hours at a time. Capricorn insisted on increasing Lucy's endurance and physical strength and she can now carry a bolder on her back while running laps for a good six hours without being tired. Old Mustache Man even let Lucy learn a few new spells after she perfected Urano Metria. Target Star, Constellation Bubble, and Oblivion Hole. target star acts like a homing missile and will follow the target until it hits, constellation bubble can either act as a sheild encasing the user in a protective 360 bubble with a diameter of 15 feet or it can encase enemies preventing them from moving or their magic from passing through it can also be used for minor transportation, and Oblivion Hole will suck heat, energy and magic away from up to 8 mages or objects at once. Gemi and Mini gave Lucy a book on making potions and salves of all sorts and a book on herbalism that way she can be a bit more diverse and wont have to rely on her magic all the time. Deciding it would be a great way to improve her alchemy skills, Lucy builds a green house to cultivate and grow almost all of the ingredients needed. After only four months Lucy has stockpiled some powerful healing potions, fire potions, invisibility potions, smoke screens, magic boosters/replenishers, poisons, and remedies.

Lucy's pov

Its been 13 months since I left, I'm starting to feel lonely now that I have moved past what happened to me. Between Justin and a certain blond dragon slayer taking over my dreams... perhaps I should go to the town and meet some people. I understand why I dream of Justin, but why does Laxus plague my dreams as well? I wonder how he is doing.

Back at the guild in Markov's office

Laxus suddenly sneezed half the papers on his grandfathers desk away.

Markov asks his grandson if he is getting sick and just as Laxus is about to respond the communication lacrima lights up with Lucy's face.

"Hi Master!"

Laxus' ears perk up as Markov attempts to hide the communication device from him.

"Laxus I have to take this, it's an old friend why don't you go get me a beer."

"Bullshit gramps, I know that voice I hear it in my sleep! Crap never mind, I know your talking to Blondie, let me talk to her please."

"I don't know what you're talking about my boy, now go get me that drink."

A slightly nervous voice on the other end says "On second thought, now isn't a good time later." and the lacrima goes blank.

"Why wont you let me talk to her gramps? I ask you every day how she is doing and you know I have feelings for her ever since you caught me talking in my sleep so why not just let me talk to her!"

"My boy, she asked me not to let anyone know where she is or what she is up to, I have already told you that much when i shouldn't have. I will say this though, she has asked how you specifically were doing. Aside from the occasional inquiry on certain members, you are the only one she asks about every time we talk."

"THEN WHY NOT LET ME TALK TO HER!"

"I already went against her wishes by telling you she doesn't want anyone knowing what she is doing or where she is. I'll mention to her that you want to talk to her but I wont make that decision for her. Now go get me a beer so I can call her back." With that, Markov ushered Laxus out of the door and called Lucy back.

"Sorry about that Lucy, I wasn't expecting a call from you, is everything ok? How are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine, I finally mastered the invisibility potion I was working on, was Laxus angry? What did he mean he hers my voice in his sleep?"

"Yes my child, Laxus is a bit angry that I wouldn't let him talk to you. If you want the answer to your question though, you will have to call him and ask him yourself."

"I don't know that I'm ready to call him yet, there are a few things I still need to sort out. I was just calling to check in before I get wrapped up in more training, How is Laxus by the way, I mean, other than being mad right now?"

"Call him and see" Markov said with a wink and put the device away.

On the other side of the door Laxus had heard everything.

Lucy's POV

I made my way into town and really looked around for the first time. Hearing Laxus' voice sent shivers down my spine. 'So he dreams about me too.' I think by this point I'm definitely interested in calling him, just his voice alone got me riled up and wanting to touch him, I wonder why that is.

There are so many stores! After some retail therapy, it might be time to go back and train some more. While i make my way back I pass a quaint storefront. 'Your desires' I wonder what they sell, the windows are blacked out but the sign says open. I walk in and cant believe my eyes, I blink a few times to make sure that I'm seeing things correctly. I just walked into an adult sex toy shop and on the back wall is a life-size cut out of an almost nude Laxus. What I couldn't figure out was why, that is until I actually looked at the wall. This was most definitely something I needed Virgo's help for.

"Punishment Hime? Is that why we are in a toy store?"

"No Virgo, no punishment. I was actually wanting your help with picking some things out for myself. So far, the only things I know for sure that I want are this standee and five of the what are they, 'Laxus rods'."

"Does Hime have sexual feelings for the lightning dragon slayer?"

I cant believe how red my face is right now.

"Yes, I suppose i do."

"Very well, I shall assist you."

TIME SKIP 4 HOURS LATER BACK AT LUCYS HOUSE

I cant believe Virgo talked me into buying all of this stuff. I wonder what surprise she has for me. Suddenly she pops back in holding a bag.

"Hime what i have for you is a sort of birth control that doubles as something to prevent your body from... stretching. Each dose lasts for 35 Earthland days however i recommend taking it every 34 just to be safe. this will also protect you from any kind of infection or complication."

"Wait, when you say stretching you mean..."

"Your body will be able to accommodate 6 of those 'Laxus Rods' without causing you injury and after 5 minutes it will be as though they were never there in the first place."

My eyes are wide as saucers before I launch myself at Virgo giving her a hug while praising her.
