Chapter 7 The truth

After Lucy just left the guild, running, Edo Lucy yelled at everyone in the guild. She first made her way over to Natsu and quickly grabbed him by the collar of his scarf and lifted him up into the air.

"What the hell is wrong with you!? Isn't she one of your closet friends!? Why would you make her cry like that?!" Edo Lucy yelled. Natsu couldn't say anything. All he did was hided his eyes under his hair.

"Tch." said Edo Lucy in disgust. She pretty much threw Natsu down to the floor and made him land on the ground sitting. Happy quickly went next to Natsu.

"Please Edo Lucy. It wasn't Natsu's fault. It's just-" Erza started to say.

"Do you guys even know why Heartfillia and I decided that I would stay?!" Edo Lucy just blurted out. That made the guild become absolutely silent.

"W-well, no." Wendy answered.

"I bet that was because you never gave her chance." said under her breath. Only the dragon slayers could hear her.

"Alright. Listen closely, I'll tell you what made me and her want to make this decision and be called sisters." Edo Lucy said as she sat down at a table.

*Flashback*

Lucy and Edo Lucy just got back to Lucy's home after having dinner at a near by restaurant. After they got back home and ready for bed, they both started to talk to each other since neither of them was actually tired.

"So, how is your Fairy Tail like? In Edolas I mean." said Lucy.

"It's actually pretty fun. We all get along like family, even when I get into fights with Levy. I have to admit that sometimes my Natsu and some others can be a wimp and most of the others can be pretty rough and brutal, but that helps remind me that even the toughest kind of people have innocence in them and that they all have their tough sides." Edo Lucy said looking at the ceiling.

"Sounds like you really love it there." Lucy said.

"Yeah, but ever since our master died we have had some hard times, but I guess I've taken charge for awhile because everyone in the guild thinks I'm the strongest one of us." said Edo Lucy.

"Heh. That sounds nice." Lucy said.

"Huh?" Edo Lucy asked.

"Well, I can obviously tell that I'm not even one of the strongest people in the guild and...you seem to be completely happy with your life. But, I guess I don't have that luxury." Lucy said.

"If you get home sick, then why don't you go visit your home?" Edo Lucy suggested.

"Actually, my dad and I aren't exactly on good terms right now and I don't even know where he is. And besides, I don't have any other family left anyway." Lucy said in a sad tone.

"Ouch. Sounds like you've had it rough. Imagine what it would be like if I stayed here, huh?" Edo Lucy said sarcastically.

"Um...Actually..." Lucy said quietly with her hair covering her eyes.

"Yeah, what is it?" Edo Lucy said. Lucy snapped her head back up and turned her head towards Edo Lucy.

"PLEASE! PLEASE STAY HERE AS MY SISTER!" Lucy begged with tears starting to form in her eyes.

"Wh-what!?" Edo Lucy stuttered.

"I know you have a home to go back to, but...I just can't stand losing my family again!" said Lucy.

When she finished talking, she wrapped her arms around Edo Lucy's waist and buried her head into her chest. Edo Lucy was surprised by it, but didn't try to shake her off, because she could tell that Lucy was starting to cry.

"Please..*sob*...please don't leave...*sob*..." said Lucy, with her head still in Edo Lucy's chest. Edo Lucy place on hand on Lucy's back and also began stroking the back of Lucy's head. She could that Lucy, deep down, was suffering and was heart broken.

"I'll never do that." Edo Lucy said quietly.

*End Flashback*

"So you see? Staying here was my choice. It was no one else's." said Edo Lucy with her arms folded. The entire guild was shocked at what Edo Lucy had just told them. Some people were crying and some were just angry at them selves. Edo Lucy then stood up from where she was sitting.

"You guys didn't know, but Heartfillia was hurting and breaking on the inside, but continuously had a smile on her face." Edo Lucy said. That was when they suddenly heard a loud crash. It was Natsu, who had just punched the wall.

"Why? Why didn't we realize sooner?" Natsu said under his breath as his hair covered his face. He felt a hand touch his shoulder and turned his head to see Edo Lucy standing there.

"I suggest you go and apology. I'm sure she'll understand. You are her family." said Edo Lucy.

"Right. Come on guys." Natsu said after he calmed down. His entire team, plus Edo Lucy, followed him to Lucy's home.
