I would like to thank the people who reviewed my story. I appreciate it! ^_^ Now, here's the next chapter for all of you. Currently, I'm writing the rough draft for the next chapter, so hopefully it'll be posted in the near future as well. =) The first part of this chapter and all of the future chapters will contain a small little introduction by Lucy which includes a recap of the previous chapter. Oh, and I spotted some mistakes I made in the previous chapters, so I re-uploaded those two.

Oh, and forgive me if Loki seems a little out of character this chapter. There's a reason for it, so please bear with it for now. So now, enjoy reading, and don't forget to review!

Hi, everyone! I'm Lucy Heartphilia, and currently I'm a second year student (a junior) at the Fairy Tail Guild. Astronomy is one of the things I love the most! I've already dragged some of my closest friends into helping me recreate the Astronomy club.

I always go to the former Astronomy clubroom to look through the equipment or spend my time reading. The last time I went, I fell asleep, and woke up to mysterious voices. When I looked up, I was suddenly face to face with a rose haired girl! She wasn't the only one in the room. A young man, who seemed to be the same age as me, was leaning against the wall, too! Who are these people?

~*A Spirit's Guidance*~
Chapter Two: First Meeting

"Oh, did we surprise you?" asked the concerned pink haired girl.

"Who are you two? I've never seen you around before," I blurted. The sooner I know who they are, the better.

"I'm sorry, we should probably introduce ourselves," the rosette apologized. "My name is Aries."

So I hadn't misheard the name after all. "Aries as in, Aries the Ram? The constellation Aries?" I questioned.

"Well, I was born under the sign of Aries, and for some reason, my mom decided to name me Aries. Strange isn't it?" she joked, sheepishly, putting on a weak smile. Aries then turned to her companion and whispered, "Leo, introduce yourself!"

The young male named Leo hesitated for a while, but introduced himself nonetheless. He sighed and walked over to where Aries and I were standing. He pushed up his sunglasses an stated, "Aries calls me Leo, but you may call me Loki. It's nice to finally talk to you, Lucy."

"Wait, how did you know my name?" I asked. Please don't tell me he was a stalker of some sort. What did he mean by, "It's nice to finally talk to you"?

"Um, Lucy, we've watched you ever since you first set foot in this room," Aries answered.

"What do you mean? I've never seen anyone other than myself in here," I countered, slightly confused.

Aries sighed. "W-Well, I don't know if you can handle the truth," she mumbled.

"What truth?" I demanded. "What's really going on here?"

Aries and Loki glanced at each other, then turned back to me. Loki spoke, "If we tell you the truth, there's a huge chance that you won't believe a thing we say."

Aries nudged Loki with her elbow. "We need her, Leo," she whispered.

"What do you need me for?" I asked quickly. They weren't going to kidnap me, were they? Two against one is not fair.

Loki sighed, exasperated. "Fine, let's get this over with. Aries and I are spirits who were once human, okay? We died in our previous lives, and were brought to the Spirit World. The Spirit King declared that our souls were compatible with the constellations of Leo and Aries. So, he sent us here as spirits, and now we have to help the person who can see us, unconditionally. We cannot let any harm come to this person, and we are required to help him or her as much as possible. If we succeed and the person is truly happy, we will be called back to the Spirit World and will enter Heaven with the powers of Leo and Aries, no matter how sinful we were in our previous lives," explained Loki.

I stood there, as stiff as a board. Then, I felt myself holding in my laughter. All of a sudden, I burst out laughing. "Oh please, things like that don't exist!"

"I told you, you wouldn't believe us," snarled Loki. Aries seemed to shrink back in fear.

The rosette spoke up, "P-Please, Lucy. You have to believe us."

My laughter died down a while later. "If you can prove what you said, I'll believe you," I challenged, crossing my arms for emphasis. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by a sea of pink wool. "Wh-What is this?" I panicked.

The clouds of wool circled my legs and enveloped my torso. My eyes were focused on my legs as the flitted left and right. I lifted one foot, then the other, trying to free myself from the wool. Then, I looked up at Aries. She had pink wool forming in her hands! I shook my head and slapped my cheeks a few times to make sure I was not hallucinating. My eyes opened again, just to see Aries still creating the wool.

"This is part of my Wool Bomb attack," she commented. "It's an offensive move, but I just surrounded you with it to show you the attack of Aries the Ram."

"S-So, this is the power you've been bestowed with, as spirits?" I stammered.

Aries nodded. She swiftly deteriorated the both wool that was forming around her hands and the ones that surrounded me. "Um, I'm sorry for doing that so suddenly, Lucy," she apologized.

I felt calmer after the wool disappeared. "No, it's fine. I was the one who asked you to prove it." I glanced at Leo, or Loki. "What about you?"

Aries answered my question for him. "All of his attacks are offensive. If he shows you, you'll get hurt badly, Lucy."

"Okay. Well, it's still hard for me to process all of this new information. It was just so sudden," I mumbled, massaging my temples. Suddenly, I remembered the energy I felt before I met them. "Was the aura I sensed her coming from you two?"

Loki and Aries nodded simultaneously. "We figured that since you could sense us, you would see us later on," said Aries.

Even though I was listening to Aries, my eyes wandered to Loki. I caught him staring at me, but swiftly looked away once I caught him. I motioned Aries to lean in towards me. "Hey, what's wrong with him?" I whispered.

Aries's face hinted a trace of sadness. She answered, "He just had a bad experience with someone else who saw us before you did."

"You two helped another person before?" I asked.

Loki suddenly interrupted, "Aries I prefer that you not talk about the past, please."

Aries stared at Loki with a melancholy expression. At that moment, Aries looked like a sister who was worried about her older brother. Perhaps that is the kind of relationship that they share. Aries then turned to me and smiled sweetly. "Sorry, Lucy. It looks like he's still not comfortable talking about it."

Talking about what? Oh boy, this is getting confusing. This is too much information in one night. "Aries, are you two always in this room?"

"Oh no, not really. We can explore the whole school, as long as we're on campus. If we choose to go to other places outside this school, we'd risk losing a lot of our energy," explained Aries. She glanced at Loki once more to see how he was doing. I followed her gaze. He seemed to be lost in his own world, ignoring us. He must have sensed us staring at him, since he pushed off of the desk he was leaning on and walked out of the room.

"Was he always like this?" I asked.

Aries shook her head. "No. He was a serious person, I admit, but he used to be so much more cheerful, especially when we were still human." Aries smiled a little. "He even used to be a playboy!"

I blinked once. Twice. Thrice. "Seriously?" I managed to say.

"Yes. I just wish Leo would stop living in the past," sighed Aries.

Curiosity was staring to overwhelm me. I wanted to know what made Loki so moody. However, since he clearly didn't want me to know yet, I'll let it slide for now. "So why are you two stuck here? Why didn't the so-called 'Spirit King' let you and Loki wander around anywhere else?" I questioned.

Aries pondered about my question for a minute. "Well, maybe it's because both of us were students here once," she replied.

"You two attended Fairy Tail?" I exclaimed.

"Yes. As for our restriction, maybe he didn't want us to feel too free. He might have put the restriction on us as a constant reminder of our task," Aries answered.

"How long do you guys have to help?" I asked.

"If we fail to fulfill the 'chosen person's' wishes more than once, our chances of going to Heaven are… well, you can probably figure that one out." Aries looked at me and smiled weakly. "We may even disappear altogether. We won't even be able to roam around in our spirit form! Leo and I took such a huge risk, accepting this task. This is our last chance! We've already failed once, and now… and now… this is the only chance we have!" By now, Aries was close to tears.

Aries just blurted that Leo and she had already failed once. I figured that they must have let the previous person down, but I really didn't want to ask Aries right now. I panicked slightly too! Here I was, talking to a close-to-tears ghost. Most people would label me as "crazy" if they ever saw me now. "Come on, Aries. Don't think about it. I'll make sure both you and Loki are able to help me," I comforted.

"I-I do know that you wish to recreate the Astronomy Club," sniffed Aries. "That's the very first thing Leo and I have to help you out with. If the club is back, you'll be happy, right?"

"Yeah, but what can you two do as spirits?" I asked. How could they help me if other people couldn't even see them?

"Um, Leo and I will figure something out. Lucy, you should get back to your dorm. It's getting late," suggested Aries.

I glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the room- 8:30 P.M. It really was late! I frantically folded my map and slipped it between the pages of my notebook. I crammed my notebook, the Astronomy book, and my pencil in my bag, and slung it over my right shoulder. "I'll see you tomorrow, Aries. Tell Loki that I said 'bye', okay?" I said as I ran out the door.

"Good morning, Lu-chan!" greeted Levy, as I walked in the classroom at 8 A.M in the morning.

"Good morning, Levy-chan. I heard some girls squealing in the hallway. What's going on?" I asked. It was true! Girls were grouping together and whispering, then squealing.

"I don't really know the details, but I heard they were going to try to help re-establish the Astronomy Club!" informed Levy.

I blinked, confused. "Huh? Wait, they don't even know who I am," I said.

"They were also talking about some 'hot guy'. Maybe he has something to do with it," wondered Levy.

I imagined Natsu or Gray charming the girls and persuading them to help the Astronomy Club, but I found it hard to believe. Sure, they have their own little fans, and they are good looking, but I doubt they're capable of persuading girls who didn't even know me. "Oh we, if those girls want to help, that's great! I don't even know who the guy is, but if he wants to help, well, I'll let him," I announced.

"I also heard the boys talking about a 'cute girl'. Apparently, she's also been persuading the guys to help your club. I've never heard of these people before, and yet, they've become the talk of the school!" said Levy.

"Did you hear what they looked like? I should thank them when I see them," I declared.

"I didn't catch detailed descriptions, but I did hear words such as 'shy', 'wild', 'light brown hair', 'soft hair' and so on," Levy answered.

"Okay, I don't know if that will help much, but thanks, Levy-chan!" I thanked.

"You're welcome Lu-chan," replied Levy. After that, Levy chanted, "Rise, bow, sit." Class officially began.

"Hey, hey, did you see the hot guy?" whispered a girl. I kept hearing girls talk about this guy whenever I walk down the hallway. He must have a huge influence on them.

"Yes! Did he ask you to help out the Astronomy Club?" asked her companion. Bingo! Now I found two other people who were asked for help.

"Of course he did! If he's in the club, I'm definitely joining!"

"He just told me to help persuade the student council to officially restart the club, though." Oh, that's not bad. If I had hoards of boys and girls joining the club, I don't think I'll be able to control them! Ok, fine, I want more support, but not heaps and heaps of people!

"Oh, he told me that too! Us girls should approach the student council as a group. That should do the trick!"

Wow, this guy really does have a huge influence on these girls. I couldn't believe these girls were already planning on talking to the student council. I wonder if Loki and Aries were still in the clubroom. Well, there was only one way to find out. I stood in front of the clubroom door and placed my hand on the handle to slide it open, but voices from inside the room stopped me.

"I can't believe all this equipment hadn't been used for twenty years! They're ancient!" exclaimed a female voice. I was pretty sure that I didn't know that person. It wasn't Aries, for sure, and it wasn't Levy or Erza either.

"Well, there wasn't anyone interested enough to recreate a club," said a deeper voice. Where had I heard that tone before? It sounded so familiar.

"That's such a waste! I'm glad to see that there's someone willing to restart the club."

The male chuckled. "She really is determined to recreate the club. That's why I would like everyone in the school to help her out by persuading the student council to officially restart the club."

"You must really like that girl if you're trying so hard for her," said the female.

"I just met her but she seemed so bent on creating the club that I thought I should help her. I can't say that I 'really like her' her. You, however, are a very sweet and caring young lady," complimented the male. Okay, the flirting was already starting. What a playboy.

The girl giggled. "Oh, Loki, you sure know how to flatter a girl."

My body immediately froze. Oh, no way!

Without thinking, I slid the door open forcefully, causing the two people in the room to stop leaning into each other and look at me. I yelled, "Loki, what are you doing?"

The girl seemed startled, but not Loki. He looked like he was expecting me to barge in anytime. The girl bowed and swiftly scrambled out of the room.

"How come she could see you?" I demanded.

Pushing up his sunglasses, Loki replied, "In this form, anyone can see me. I'm posing as a normal human now." He seemed to feel uncomfortable around me. The atmosphere around him totally changed from charming to nervous. It was a little ironic. I mean, that girl and I are both female. Why did he feel totally fine around her, but not me? Did I make him that uncomfortable?

"Is that one of your special powers?" I questioned, taking my mind off his nervousness.

"Yes. Aries is also helping you out. She's persuading the boys and I'm talking to the girls," said Loki.

"So the two people everyone was talking about were you two," I concluded.

Loki nodded. "It takes a lot of our energy to change into human form, though. Turning into a human, even for a short amount of time, saps our energy just like that." Loki then snapped his fingers for emphasis.

"So where's Aries now?" I asked.

"She'll be back soon. Hopefully she won't strain herself," sighed Loki. I stared at him, and detected concern for Aries in his eyes. Those two really must care about each other a lot.

"So what do you and Aries plan to do after your fans succeed in persuading the student council? They already think you're students at Fairy Tail, don't they?" I asked.

Loki shook his head, no. "Aries and I already took care of that. We told everyone we talked to that we were just here for a visit. For now, we're foreigners who have come to Magnolia to learn more about his city."

"I see. Well then, I'll be going home now. Tell Aries I said hi." I waved goodbye at Loki and walked out the door, sliding it shut behind me.

"You can't act like this forever, Leo," I heard a soft voice say. Loki said Aries wasn't back yet. Well, maybe she passed through the walls or something.

"I'm sorry, Aries. I can't forget what I did. What if I accidentally cause her…" Loki was quickly interrupted by Aries.

"Don't finish that sentence, please! I can tell the Lucy's different. Please, Leo, just forget about the past and live in the present. Return to your old self; your fun self," pleaded Aries.

I walked away from the door after I heard Aries's plea. What happened in the past? What made Loki uncomfortable around me? I hope he would open up his feelings sooner or later.

Dream Scenario

"Lucy, you finally did it!" cheered Natsu. He ran and engulfed me in a huge hug.

I laughed and returned his hug. "I know! The Astronomy Club's finally reborn! Thanks to the support of the whole student body, I could recreate the club with only six members," I squealed.

The members of the club: Erza, Natsu, Gray, Levy, Juvia, Lisanna, and I were all there. We had bottles of juice and small cakes lined up on the tables in the Astronomy clubroom. We were celebrating in honor of the recreation of the club.

"To Lucy, and to the club!" cheered Erza, holding up her juice box.

"To the club!" echoed everyone else, including myself, as we all bumped our juice boxes together.

I sipped the juice from my pipe and watched as the rest of the members threw confetti and smeared each others' faces with cream from the small cakes. All of a sudden, I felt two hands on my shoulders. I gasped as a short jolt of electricity travelled down my spine.

I tried to turn around to see who it was, but I couldn't. Everyone else seemed oblivious to the person behind me. The hands felt warm. I felt… protected. The mysterious person then leaned down. I could hear his breathing and felt his warm breath on my left cheek. He addressed me by a nickname that no one else had used before.

"Congratulations, Princess."
