Chapter 3
Hi everyone a friend of mine pointed out that I have no disclaimer. SO. I Serenity Fairytail do not own any part of the manga or anime known as Fairy Tail. I do own the story plot for my fan fiction though. Thank you to those that have reviewed and those that have read my story. Please review as it would be nice to know what you think.
"O.k. girl spill!" Mira was almost bouncing where she stood. Lucy just laughed and sat down. "Well I kind of had a crush on him since Fantasia. You see all though I didn't agree with what he was doing I knew he was doing it because he honestly thought it was the right thing to do. After Master banished him I went through some of the public file's on Laxus and asked around about him. I even became friends with the thunder god tribe and got to know him from their point of view. I'm sure you remember that time that book took us to Natsu's worst memory. Well while in the guild I met Laxus as a teen and got to talk to him for a bit. He has so many different face's but the one he's always hiding is that he's always looking for anything that indicates that his nakama are in need of his help."
Mira was looking at Lucy in fascination but Gray was looking at her as though she had just gone round the bend. Lucy had a delicate blush on her cheeks as she finished speaking. Mira squealed again and pulled her into a hug while getting visions of blond haired blue eyed baby's. "What happens if it turns out that he's your soul mate?" Lucy's blush deepened and she looked away."If he is then he has to actually accept me before we ... You know." Gray looked concerned. "What happens if he doesn't accept that your his mate, or doesn't want you?" Lucy looked down at the floor. "I die." "WHAT!?" The guild went silent and Lucy looked away. "Their have been 5 born celestial mage's who have found their soul mates 2 people out right refused to be their mates and the celestial born's have died within 24 hour's. The council of mage's tried to make a law that say their mate has to be with them but one person was only with the celestial born because he didn't want to got to jail. The celestial born died a very painful death over the course's of 7 month's She died while pregnant because a born celestial if female will become pregnant on the night they loose their virginity."
The people in the guild looked horrified at what they were been told. "It's alright you know. The two have until the born celestial mage's 20th birth day to get to know each other better and consummate the ... Er... You know what I mean." Lucy was now bright red in the face and refused to look anyone in the eye. "Can we drop this discussion. It doesn't matter because there's nothing to be done. It's a flaw of been a celestial born mage, we have this need to find that one person we will spend the rest of our lives with. Our 18th birthday is the only time that we can guarantee that we will live with our soul mate. If we don't find them on our 18th then we fall in love like anyone else. Been born as a celestial mage is not all positive there is a lot of danger as well. If we have ... sex ... before were 18 then we die on our 18th birthday. If we have a sexual ... relationship with our spirit's then we are stripped of our powers but not just us but our descendants as well."
Everyone paled as Lucy talked. Gray pulled her into a crushing hug, tears rolling down his face as he realised that his sister had it harder than the average mage did. "How many rule's are there for a celestial born mage?" Lucy leaned into him "258 rule's for born celestial and 84 for normal celestial." she whispered. Gray only just heard her and pulled her closer so she was in his lap while he rocked her like a small child. Lucy decided to just enjoy it and cuddled further into him. She didn't notice when she fell asleep but Gray did and smiled at her cradled in his arm's. Mira looked at him with a serious face. "What was her answer to your question Gray?" Gray looked back at her then around the guild. "258 for those born and 84 for the other celestial. I didn't realise how hard she had it before. But having to abide by that many rule's then there's the law's of her own country. I'm surprised that she's survived this long, but I'm glad she has. I can't imagine my life without my little sister in it now and I some times wonder how I lived without her in the first place."
Lucy woke up an hour later to find that she was in Mira's lap and Gray was walking back from the men's toilets. "Hey Lu-Chan, have a nice nap?" Mira smiled at her. Lucy nodded in answer and stretched. "Mira where's master? I need to speak with him." As she put her down Mira pointed up the stairs to the second floor. "In his office sorting out paper work so there is none on your birthday." "Thanks Mirajane." Lucy waved at Gray as she went up then walked down the corridor to Master's office. "Come in!" Lucy heard when she knocked on the door. "Master I would like to ask if you would be one of the five people that I need to be with for certain amount of time. I understand if your too busy, but ... I think of you as the Dad I always wanted my Farther to be." Lucy stood there looking rather embarrassed. That is until she found herself on the floor with the master hugging her whilst crying. "Lucy I would be honoured to be with you on your birthday my child. I am glad that you hold me in such a sacred place in your heart." Lucy smiled and wrapped her arm's around him squeezing him a little tighter. Do you know how I can get hold of Laxus and the thunder god tribe?" Master went to his desk pulled out a communication lycrama giving it to Lucy. "Just say his name and wait for him to answer." With that he walked out and left Lucy to talk alone.
Lucy Looked into the orb in her hand and sat down. "Laxus!" after a moment Laxus's image appeared in the orb and Lucy smiled at him. "What do you want Blondie and where's gramp's?" Laxus looked a little confused at her been there. "YOUR BLOND TOO! Never mind master gave me this so I could speak to you and the thunder god tribe. When are you lot going to be back?" "Tomorrow. Why?" "because you all promised to be here for my birthday in two day's and I'm making sure you keep your promise. I also have a favour to ask of you." "And why should I do a favour for you? Hmmmm!" "I want you to be one of the people that stay with me on my birthday. It's just for four hour's please. I even bought some lightning gum for you!" Laxus frowned how the hell did Lucy know he had a weakness for that stuff? "Fine! But no girlie stuff got it? Good!" With that the orb went clear and Lucy put it on the desk. She walked out of the guild with the biggest smile ever seen on her face.
