Chapter 5
Hi everyone. Thank you for all the reviews and please keep reviewing. Your reviews are been read and are appreciated. Here's the next chapter.
The next morning Lucy woke up with a smile on her face. Getting up she turned on the stove and began cooking her breakfast. She made Pancake's drizzled pure Honey on the topped it with fresh whipped cream and placed some cut strawberry's on the side. Lucy then grabbed some oranges and made a glass of fresh orange juice. When she had finished eating Lucy went to her wardrobe and pressed a little button on the inside of the door frame. When she did this a door at the other side of the room opened and she closed the wardrobe door and walked over to the new doorway. Opening the door fully she walked into a pure white room.
In the middle of the room stood a mannequin with the dress she would be wearing today. Behind that was a dresser with jewelry and makeup lay neatly on it with a mirror behind. Lucy smiled and summoned Virgo who bowed to her. "Punishment Hime?" Lucy smiled at her friend and shook her head. "Can you help me put my dress on please Virgo?" "Of coarse Hime." First they put on her corset and Lucy had Virgo pull it tight enough that she would only just have enough room to breath. Next was the three under skirts made of plain white cotton so her skin could breath. Her white high heeled sandals were next. they were pure white and had a key charm dangling from the front of them. Finally they put on her dress. Lucy smiled as she remembered watching as her mother had sown and stitched the enter dress by had. Her mother at the time had been getting sicker and had known that she would not last much longer. So Layla had decided that the dress her daughter had to have would be made then and there. Layla had asked Lucy what her favourite colour was and Lucy had told her blue.
The dress itself was white and much like a simple wedding dress but the decoration's were not as simple. Along the bottom of the spider silk dress was blue silk rose's and in the middle of the rose's was a diamond. There was also a white silk rose on either of the off the shoulder strap's with a blue sapphire in the middle of it. The collar of the dress dipped slightly and showed only a hint of cleavage. Running along it was an alternating pattern of diamonds and blue sapphires. The dress had been the last thing Layla Heartfilia had given to her daughter only hours before she died. Lucy smiled sadly as Virgo zipped the back up. Lucy then gave her spirit a hug and dismissed her. She then went over to the dresser and sat in front of it running her hands over the jewelry that her farther had designed for her and then had payed for them to be made. He had done that during the 7 years that she had been trapped on Tenrou island.
The tiara was an intricate pattern of heart's and key, each heart had a diamond and each key had a blue sapphire. Along the bottom of the tiara was pink rose quartet. Her farther had remembered what her favourite colour was now and what her mother had made. The heart earrings had a rose quartet in each of them. The necklace was a simple key pendant with the top of the key shaped like a heart. In the heart was a blue sapphire. The final piece of jewelry was a charm bracelet. Each charm was a key. The keys were shaped like each key that she had and two extra with her parents names on. There was no precious stones on the bracelet as they were none needed. All the jewelry was made out of mithril as her farther had decided that she had to have one of a kind jewelry set for this day. With the jewelry he had sent a letter that she had framed and placed on the wall.
Dear Lucy,
My daughter if I could I would rewind time and start again. When your mother was alive I loved to watch as the both of you as you did even the smallest of things together. I watched as your mother made the dress for the day before your 18th birthday. As she made the rose's your mother came to me for some diamonds and blue sapphire's. when I asked why she told me that your favourite colour was blue. I had smiled and ordered them from the jewellers in the next town over, they came within a week. Your mother died two day after finishing it and only hours after giving you the dress. I know that she made the dress in her size so you may have to adjust it, but it is the most perfect dress I have ever seen. I am positive that you will look beautiful in it.
After your mother died I lost all sense and I did not treat you as I should have. I regret that I did not spend as much time with you as I could but I hope that this will in some way show you how much I loved you. When you came home to tell me off as though I was a naughty child, I saw your mother in you and new that she would be proud of the woman you have become. I know that the jewelry that celestial borns wear on the day before their 18th birthday is usually gold or silver but I wanted for you to be unique. So I have scrimped and saved all these years in order to get you the best. The jewelry is made of mithril and is the most expensive jewelry of it's type. I know you don't want money or expensive thing's but I want you to wear these because although I could not make it I did design it with you in mind.
I love you with all my heart Lucy and hope that you will forgive me for not been there on you 18th. Be well my dear and make me and your mother even more proud than we are today.
with love your farther
Jude Heartfilia
Lucy carefully place all the jewelry on not including the tiara. When she had place it on she held out a key and called for Cancer. "Could you style my hair with this in please Cancer?" Cancer took the tiara and smiled at Lucy "Of coarse ebi." With that Cancer began to do her hair. Half an hour later and he was finished. Lucy's hair was done in an elegant bun with rings of hair framing her face, the tiara was nestled carefully but firmly in place on her head the light gleaming from it. Cancer it's beautiful. Thank you." Lucy hugged him while burying her head in his chest. Cancer had wrapped his arms around her along with his claws. When he had been selected by Lucy's magic as her first spirit Cancer had sworn that he would always look after her. He had been her play mate when she was little and a shoulder to cry on when needed and always enjoyed her hugs when they were given. As Lucy pulled away he gave her a kiss on the top of her head and was gone with a poof of smoke.
Lucy put on her make up and headed to the guild. When she entered the guild went silent before mummers started as she walked to her usual seat. "Can I have a strawberry milkshake please Mira?" "Sure Lucy. Why you dressed up?" Lucy looked at Mira with a frown. "Didn't I tell you about How were supposed to ... never mind I obviously forgot. Sorry Mira-chan. A born celestial on the day before their 18th are traditionally dressed in something that their mother made for them for that my mother died she new that she would not make it to my 18th birthday so she made me this dress. It was made in her size so I had to take it in a bit but it was made by my mom. Also they wear at least one piece of jewelry designed by their farther just for them on that day. My farther had saved up and designed and payed for a jeweller to make the jewelry that I'm wearing right now. So what do you think then?"
"I personal think that you look lovely little sis." Lucy turned around to see Gray grinning at her. While the whole guild (not including Natsu's team) nodded agreeing with what he said. Lucy blushed and hugged him. "Have you thought about a name for Natsu's team yet Lulu?" Lucy grinned at Mira's question and shouted for everyone to hear. "Listen up everyone I have found a new name for my old team to be called. From now on what is remaining of team Natsu will be known as ... Team Lizard!" Natsu, Lissanna and Erza looked at her Horrified at the new name for their team. Several members of Fairy Tail laughed at this after all she was taking the piss out off the fact that Natsu was a dragon slayer. Gray grabbed hold of Lucy's hand and twirled her around. "Aren't you smart? The team is still named after Natsu but your taking the Micky out of him." Lucy laughed and stepped away from him to Finnish her milkshake.
Else where Laxus and the Thunder God Tribe was just getting of the train to go to the guild. The Thunder God Tribe where all smirking while Laxus was frowning in thought. 'How the hell did that girl find out his weakness for lightning gum? However she found out I will know by the end of this or my name is not Laxus Drayer.' Lost in thought he did not notice people move out of his way or that he was about to walk into Fairy Tail.
