Sorry if the previous chapter seemed confusing, I sort of forgot about Lucy meeting her Counterpart, but never fear! I solved it using this chapter to back it up. This totally drained my imagination away. Anyways, a late Happy Valentines to you!

- Celestial Hime

Woot Woot! Two updates in a day!

"Where are we?" Lucy asked as she walked out of the portal and stood behind Natsu. "I dunno where but this is the place" Natsu stated. Lucy looked around and soon a voice called through her mind.

"You've come Lucy. Remember me?" A familiar voice said. Lucy's mind soon noticed what was happening...That voice...It was Lucy's. Her counterpart. Her but in an another world. 'This is your child Lucy? I'm surprised that you let him wonder around in an unfamiliar world' Lucy thought back, replying to her counterpart. "I'm sorry but that boy...He seriously never thinks about what he says. I guess that he told you that his sister, Steline, was only 8 months old? Am I right? Anyways, tell Kasai to lead you to the palace, to the main hall. He'll lead you there" Counterpart Lucy said. "You said that you're four years older than me...What's with the five-year old child and an eight month baby?" Lucy questioned out loud, forgetting that Natsu was next to her holding onto Kasai.

"Ignore me. Kasai...Can you show us to the main hall?" Lucy asked, looking over to the boy. "Sure thing~" Kasai sung. Lucy looked over to Natsu and he knew what she meant, 'Let Kasai down' her gaze said. Natsu, let the boy slid off his back and soon he followed Kasai with Lucy slightly ahead of him. Natsu sped up his pace and walked along with Lucy. "Luce...What was that all about?" Natsu asked.

Lucy closed her eyes, "I'm sure he'll explain later" Lucy said as she opened her eyes. "That's that supposed to mean?" Natsu asked. Lucy didn't reply, she just continued to follow the small boy who was leading them to their counter selves.

As soon as they walked into the palace. A familiar person called out for Kasai. "KASAI! Where have you been?! We were worried!" The person said. "Uncle Makarov!" Kasai beamed, jumping onto the short man in front of them. "I was with mummy and daddy!" Kasai cheered. "I see but that's not your real parents" Makarov said. "That's what mommy said as well!" The boy said with a smile. The man smiled back before looking at Lucy and Natsu who froze in their spot.
"So you two must be Lucy and Natsu? Am I right?" The man asked. "Hai. I'm Queen Lucy's counterpart. Can we please talk to her?" Lucy asked. Makarov chuckled, "You two definitely seem to be the same. Sure thing. I'll lead you to the main hall" Makarov said.

A few minutes of walking, Lucy and Natsu were completely stunned at the huge palace. Inside was huge, tall, big and wide. It was big enough for dragons to wonder around the palace. Red carpet lead the way around the palace while tall portraits of people were hung proud on the wall. It was beautiful. It was fitting enough for four royal families to live in here. The palace seemed much bigger than her castle which now disgusts her to the full.

Lucy and Natsu were completely hooked into site-seeing that they didn't notice that they arrived. "Please...Feel comfortable" Makarov said before walking away. "MUMMY!" Kasai cheered as he ran into an older looking Lucy. "You two awfully have bad parenting" Lucy said, resting her hands on her hips which made Counterpart Lucy and Natsu chuckle. "We're sorry" Counterpart Lucy apologized. "It was because of that idiot over there. He somehow made Kasai say the chant into opening a portal" Counterpart Lucy stated as she pointed over to Counterpart Natsu who was blushing.
"Geeze. Look after him properly can't you?" Lucy scolded. "One Luce is already enough thank you" Counterpart Natsu sighed.

"Hey! Is that how the demon counterpart of me looks like?!" Counterpart Natsu jumped up, running over to Natsu, "Natsu! Fight me!" Counterpart Natsu cheered, lighting up his body with fire. "That sounds fun!" Natsu called out, blocking the attack from his counterpart. The two soon began to fight but was interfered by a Counterpart Erza who was fuming. "Can't you two have common sense! We're in the palace! Go outside if you want to fight you bimbo's!" Counterpart Erza fumed while talking a bite of her strawberry shortcake which soon soothed her anger. "You heard them! Get out flame brain!" Counterpart Gray called out. "What did you say ice princess?!" Counterpart Natsu argued. "SHUT UP!" Levy screamed, coming out from a portal. Counterpart Lucy chuckled, "Here so soon? So hows Fairy Tail going along?" Counterpart Lucy asked.
"They're fine. They wanted to visit the Dragon World with me but I said no" Counterpart Levy said.

"Mummyyy. I'm hungry. Aunty Mirajane is busy in the guild.." Kasai whined. "Alright. Lucy? Do you want to cook with me?" Counterpart Lucy asked. "Sure thing" Lucy replied, following Lucy into the kitchen which was close by. A dragon was inside the kitchen, along with a lady with purple hair, they seemed to be cooking something. "Grandeeney? Poisiana? (I forgot the Poison Dragon's name that I used in 'Taste my Pain'! XC) If you may? I need to cook for Kasai" Counterpart Lucy said softly. The lady transformed into a purple dragon and the two bowed their head, "Certainly Queen" The two dragons said as they walked out. 'Woooow. They're beautiful. So this is how dragons look like' Lucy thought to herself.

As the two began to cook, they carried on with their conversation, "So you saying that you're the Princess of the Dragons? You were lying?" Lucy asked as she sliced the carrots thinly. "I'm sorry Lucy...I had to lie. I bet you were shocked when Kasai said that I was the Queen" Counterpart Lucy chuckled as she stirred the curry sauce. "That's playing mean. At least tell me" Lucy whined. "Gomen, Gomen" The other Lucy apologized.

"So...How come Kasai is your child? If I'm now seventeen...And you're twenty-one...Isn't that a bit too early? Wait...Then the youngest...Who's eight months... Care to explain?" Lucy asked curiously. Counterpart Lucy sweat-dropped once Lucy questioned her. "Well...Kasai is my actual child while Steline is my adopted child. She was once a dragon but sadly her mother passed away from a sickness. Her mother's last wish was to allow her to live like a human which I granted for her. Using my magic, I transformed her into a human child. She's actually one year old." Counterpart Lucy replied.
"Geeze. You two really don't want to wait did you~" Lucy teased as she nudged her counterpart. "Stop teasing!" Counterpart Lucy whinned.

The two continued to cook, talking away peacefully and laughing at lame jokes that each would come up. "So Lucy...What is that spell that your husband taught Kasai?" Lucy asked. Counterpart Lucy stopped cutting the potatoes and turned around, leaning against the counter slightly, "Well. It's an advance spell which relates to Celestial Spirit summonings. It was hard to control and could even risk your life...I was taught that when I was younger. Me and Natsu had some difficulties with Natsu's old friend and I went away, learning new spells" Counterpart Lucy said.

A knock was heard which interfered with their conversation. A lady with sky-blue hair walked in and bowed down to Counterpart Lucy. "Lucy-sama. Let me take care of the curry. Please go to the courtyard to continue with your conversation" The lady said. "Thank you Cherita~" Counterpart Lucy cheered as she pulled Lucy out of the kitchen. "Let's go to the courtyard. It's really pretty" The jolly Queen cheered. "Sure thing~" Lucy cheered back. "Open: Gateway to the Royal Courtyard" She chanted which soon a portal opened. Lucy's counterpart walked in first before Lucy followed.

Once she got out, she was completely stunned at the beautiful sight. Roses were beautifully grown which surrounded a small table with seats provided, "Come along" The Queen cheered, sitting onto the table. Lucy nodded and sat down. There on the table was a pretty tea set, hot and ready to be drunken. The pot slowly rose up and poured tea into the two glass cups before floating back down. "Wow. Was that you?" Lucy asked. "Yep"

The two Lucy sipped their tea quietly as the distant sounds of fighting were heard from the two battling Natsu's. "Ne Lucy...Can you tell me about your difficulties with Natsu's old friend?" Lucy asked, placing her cup down gently. "Well...Let's start from the start then; Before, Natsu's close childhood friend, Lisanna, returned back to our world from an another world called Edolas. Our guild partied for days and me and Lisanna seemed close...Until one day the guild went against me, saying harsh things and such. Heartbroken that none would even care for me, I left the guild -" Lucy gasped, "They went againt you? What type of guild..." Lucy was cut off by her counterpart. "I then learnt that I was the dragon princess. Now knowing, I trained with my dragons and soon they became my family. Years later, I returned, strong as ever. I won against Natsu and two other dragon slayers...I was back in my guild and soon we entered an event called the Grand Magic Games. I fought and supported my team until I had to fight against Lisanna since she was on a second team that represented Fairy Tail. I went heartless from her words and almost killed her. Returning to the health/resting room, I remembered that Lisanna learnt how to control a dark spell. Again, she made the guild so against me and I left to join a guild called Sabertooth. I fought and fought till the last day...Where an evil mage called Zeref came and controlled me. I wasn't myself and Lisanna got punished. My friends saved me and I sealed Zeref away...Lisanna was forgiven and was saved by me and soon I was proposed..." Counterpart Lucy said.

Lucy sighed and leaned back against her chair, "It seems like you had it rough...And soon will be my turn..." Lucy said sadly. Counterpart Lucy warmly smiled and grabbed her hand, rubbing them, securing her that it'll be fine, "Don't worry Lucy. You're a strong girl. If danger comes, your spirits will tell me and I'll come and help you along with my friends. You're not alone Lucy.." She said calmly which made Lucy feel comfortable. "Thank you..." Lucy thanked.

"It's time for you to go home. Our world goes much faster than your world. Hang on tight!" Counterpart Lucy said as her wings grew, slowly, she picked up Lucy and flew over to where the two boys fought equally. "Natsu! Stop fighting!" Lucy yelled as she slowly reached the ground. "But Luce~~". "Now!" Natsu sighed and fist-pumped his counterpart, "Great fight" He said as he walked over to Lucy. "At your world, it'll be around nine, night-time. Please call me if you want to visit" Counterpart Lucy said. "Sure thing. Your world is wonderful" Lucy said. "Thank you. Good-bye. Open: Gateway to Lucy's World" Counterpart Lucy chanted, opening the gate so Natsu and Lucy could go home. As they walked through the portal, "I see that that stupid Counterpart Natsu hasn't told you about anything" Lucy said. "What are you saying Luce?" Natsu asked. "Nevermind..."
'It'll happen sooner or later...'

Once they got home, the two were standing in front of a burning house, it was their burning house. The screaming of neighbors and the murmurs echoed against the blazing fire. "Natsu! Do something!" Lucy cried. "I can but my power is too weak against a burning house!" Natsu argued back. Even though he was a dragon slayer, the house was wayyy too big and had hotter flames than he could even swallow. "I wish for you to bring the house back to normal!" Lucy wished. "You wish is my command" Natsu said as he walked into the house.

Slowly, he started to each the fire, swallowing every single flame in his sight. When the fire was gone, he flew into the sky and breathed out more fire onto it which somehow started to heal the house. The burning was gone and the wood inside the house slowly went back to normal. The nature around the house slowly grew back and the painting went back to its old self - The house was saved.

"Thank you Natsu!" Lucy cheered, kissing his cheeks which made him blush.

"How did the house get back to normal?"
"There's no magic that can do this!"
"Is this house haunted?!"

The murmurs and whispered started to increase until a voice cried out, "I wish that these people forgot about everything that just happened!" The voice wished. A simple laugh was heard before a metal dome trapped the neighbors, vanishing within seconds.

"How did I get here?"
"Why are we even here?"
"What happened?"

The neighbors walked away, revealing the owner of the voice. "Levy?!" Lucy cried out in shock. "Good day Lu-chan! How's your holidays so far?" Levy asked. "Bunny-girl" The tall man said. "Gajeel! Greet her nicely!" Levy scolded the man. "Sorry Sorry. She reminds me of a bunny" Gajeel said, reasoning out his excuse. "Shesh! Manners!" Levy said. "Oii! Gajeel! She's your human?! She's soo tiny!" Natsu called out. "Shut up idiot!" Gajeel yelled. "Wanna start?!" Natsu asked. "Bring it!" Gajeel started.

"Shut up! It's the middle of the night!" Another voice yelled. Out appeared Lucy's and Levy's scarlet-haired friend. "Erza! What are you doing here?" Lucy asked. "Same reason as Levy. Who knew she'd get a devil as well" Erza stated. "Hey! No fair!" Levy argued. "Waitaminute! If she could see us then she also has a demon...Who is it?!" Natsu called out. "I'm her demon" A voice said behind Natsu which made Natsu scream. "Dude. You scream like a girl" Gajeel complained. "Shut up!" Natsu argued back.
"You two shut up already" Jellal said, walking over to Erza. "So you two really do have humans to go along with after all" He said.

"Let's all go -" Lucy was cut off by Levy, "Hey's there's someone walking under the rain" She pointed out. The girl stood under the rain cloud, stopping in front of the six of them, "Pitta, Patter, The rain will always come. Juvia is so lonely without Gray-sama" The girl, Juvia cried. "Are you alright?" Lucy asked. "How does this girl know Juvia's here?!" Juvia asked shocked. Juvia's attention was soon followed by the three pointing signs that pointed directly to the three awkwardly waving people. "You guys also have humans?! You all seem so close unlike Juvia and Gray-sama" Juvia cried.

"Uhh. How about going inside? I'll call Gray to come over as well as Wendy" Lucy said. "Juvia will be honored!" Juvia cheered as she ran into the house first which made everyone sweatdrop.
