I'm alive yes just trying to put the next chapter of my other story(The story of Lucy Aria Huángzú, please check it out). Please excuse my amateur skills.

(;_;)^(0_0)^(-_-)^(=_=)^($_$)^(-o-)^(I_I)^(^_^)^(/_/)^(O-O?)

Me, Myself, and I are holding hands. We promise to work harder and to do are best. My team (full of myself) would like to thank the wonderful people for reviewing me, following me and so on.

Lucy's POV

I waited for the cold water to hit me or soak me or whatever but it never came. Instead, the two different hands that I felt earlier steadied me back.

I cautiously opened my eyes. I looked at the hands that were both still on my wrist and traveled my eyes further up to see the owners of the hands that had helped me.

Laxus and Bickslow

"Huh?" I looked further and behind them was Evergreen and Freed. The one who had spoken was Evergreen for sure. The voice no way sounded like a man.

"What are Laxus and the Thunder legion doing here at this time of day?"

"I could ask you Miss Lucy the same thing?" I really don't want to talk about it Freed, of course, I actually didn't say that out loud.

I still felt the hands around my wrist and noticed that Laxus and Bickslow hadn't taken their hands off me and I blushed.

"Um? Laxus, Bickslow, you can take your hands off me now." They looked at me questioningly before looking at their hands. Bickslow just grinned his pervy smirk then lolled his tongue out. Laxus on the other hand smiled and let go. Did I see pink on their faces...impossible. The Perv soul mage (who seems to make other girls blush rather than he would himself out of embarrassment. The guy dripped with sex confidence) and The great lightning dragon slayer (who seems impervious to having a relationship and seems indifferent)...impossible.

"Oh come on Cosplayer. We can hold hands" I rolled my eyes. 'Hands, hands, hands.' His babies echoed him.

"So what are you doing here Blondie? It's like 5 in the morning." His arms crossed. He looked passive but I saw concern in his eyes.

"Went for a morning walk, enjoying the breeze, admiring the view, etc. Should I a solid reason? I just…needed some fresh air."

They all looked suspiciously at her for reasoning and the hesitant pause. "What about you guys?"

Bickslow grinned again, "Returned from a night of passionate fun-Ow!" Evergreen slapped him with fan.

"We actually came back from an S-class mission. The train ride was long. We slept on the train so were going to head toward the guild. Even if it may be early, were hungry and I'm not going to go without food any longer. It's almost morning anyway. Then we saw you, well, technically it was Laxus but we saw you just staring at the river so I called out to you and you know the rest." Evergreen explained as she fanned herself

I hummed in agreement before Evergreen spotted something. "Hey Lucy what's that?" I followed the direction of the sight she was looking at and so had the rest.

'Dammit!'

I pulled down my shirt. It had ridden up a little when I almost fell in the river. Evergreen caught a glimpse of my scar, now so did everyone else.

"It's nothing Ever." They looked at me skeptically, now even more so when I used her nickname. They could see the panic on my face but they saw that I didn't want to talk about so they dropped the subject.

'Thanks'

Laxus's POV

It was 4 in the morning or near 5 and I see Blondie staring at the river that reflected the sky. From my view, or everyone else's view, it looked like she was standing in space. It was a sight to behold.

I noticed her first, of course, because of my hearing and her scent. When Ever called her she came out of the trance she was in and was trying to turn around and look at us but ended up falling instead.

I did the first thing that was on my mind. Save Lucy. So I did. Don't question me.

I grabbed her wrist to pull her back, though I noticed I wasn't the only one. That kinda disappointed me. Once she was back up, she hadn't noticed how long we were holding her but I just couldn't let go. Her skin was smooth and me touching her just felt so natural.

I don't deny that I did have a tiny crush on the blonde….okay, so the crush isn't so small but why the hell would I admit that. I did express my attraction to her when….yeah…when phantom and the stone incident happened. But afterwards, she had just grown on me and it grew into something more. I mean after all I done, she was the first to talk to me like everything was fine, smile and laugh with me just like she would with nakama, she was the one who asked gramps to give me a second chance. She saw past my façade. She's done a lot more too. Her personality, her smiles, and who she is lured me and I have fallen. Fallen for the light of the guild like many other men had.

But what was on her stomach it looked like a cut? No….a scar? But as far as I know, she didn't have a scar. After all I've seen all the provocative clothing she wore and it didn't leave much to imagine.

She panicked when she saw what Ever was looking at and pulled her shirt down. The aura she emitted told us that we shouldn't touch the subject right now. But I was curious as to why she would hide something when she was the type to be bright and open. Could it also link to why she's here out in the early morning?

She looked relieved when we didn't discuss further on the subject.

"So you guys are going to the guild now? Can I join?" Blondie said trying to break the tension. Freed was the one who replied, "Of course Miss Lucy."

"Freed, you really don't have to call me Miss. You make me feel old."

Bickslow, Evergreen, and I burst out laughing at her comment. It made Freed blush and he apologized.

"You don't have to apologize, just call me Lucy." She smiled her dazzling smile towards Freed; in turn it made him blush again.

She giggled, "Come on."

Blondie got on the ledge and started walking again. Really?….right after she had almost fallen. "Blondie, do you seriously want to fall that badly. Get off the ledge before you lose your balance again."

"I'm not gonna fall."

"Cosplayer just-" Bickslow was cut off. "Hey Lucy! Be careful." And another boat man then stated, "Lucy! You're up early. Have a nice day!"

"I will, and you have a nice day too. See ya later!" she replies to the boatmen, waving high, and wearing a bright smile.

"Who are they?" Ever asked the Blonde who seemed to forgotten we were there. "Oh, it's a morning routine. They always say good morning and tell me to be careful when I walk on the ledge. I guess you could say their friends of mine." She laughed with a look of nostalgia on her face. Damn she was adorable.

"But Cosplayer, even they believe you should get down before you fall." 'Fall, fall, fall."

"Why does everyone think I'm going to fall, seriously, no trust."

"Mis- I mean Lucy, they're just worried and so are we."

She had a look on her face before she tucked in her shirt and buttoned the one button at the waistline bottom of her cardigan.

She smirked at us before breaking out in a sprint and did an aerial to a handspring layout step out. She landed perfectly without flaws. With her hands still up, she smirks and says "Believe me now."

I was really shocked but I didn't let all of it reach my face. My eyes widened and my mouth opened a little but that was it, getting at least that much out if me is a feat.

Ever had dropped her fan with shock written all over her face, Freed eyes were wide and Bickslow had the same expression only with his tongue was out. Blondie just did a series of flipin moves over ledge where one could fall into a river yet she did it with no trouble. I couldn't do that and neither could my team, probably because we focused only on our magical powers and combat to go with that magic.

She giggled, "I took gymnastics when I was younger. My father said it would raise my feminine grace and etc. I didn't really listen to what he was saying. I actually took a lot of courses like ballet, flower arranging, just everything he thought a lady should learn. If I didn't excel in everything I did….let's just say it didn't turn out well."

She was hesitant when she said that and I even saw a flash of fear in her eyes. She shook her head, "Let's go!"

She skipped along the ledge and we walked beside her. She had talked to Freed about various books, ancient text, and all that smart stuff. She had also talked to Ever about fashion, magazines, and that they should go shopping together sometime. I was happy that she could get along with my team though I'm going to deny it if someone asks. By the time they were done talking we arrived at the guild.

Lucy's POV

I was talking with Ever, who she said I can call her that, and we agreed to go shopping together sometime. We arrived at the guild when we had just finished that conversation. I opened the doors, normally, and I was greeted by a familiar voice though it was not the one I was expecting.

"Hey Bunny-girl! Just who I needed, you're right on time. I need your help on something."
