Hey Everyone! here's the Next Chapter, please Review! Also, while I'm at it, if anyone wants to message me with couples from fairy tail that they want me to write stories for I'll try to do that. (I won't do all couples keep in mind.)

I don't own Fairy tail. If I did, Jellal would have some guts and would have kissed Erza by now.

Esther POV

Esther followed as Mr. Trench, Mr Johnson and Jack Jameson, the blacksmith's son, lead Damien into another room. Cana was still sitting at the counter, diving into her second slice of pie, talking to Mrs. Goodworth about some new cards that Damien had bought her for her birthday.

Mr Trench turned and closed the door securely behind him. There was a small window in the door, so he stood in front of it so Cana wouldn't see.

Mr. Johnson crossed his arms, and looked at Damien. "What have you done boy?" he asked, his eyes blazing.

Damien just stood there, smiling sweetly. "I'm sorry?" he asked.

"Don't ye' play stupid with us lad!" Mr. Trench interrupted. "what Magi' brained scheme is this?"

"Cana thinks that this place is still her home." Jack said. "She's talking about things that she shouldn't even know about! How Mrs. Rodgers had a baby eight months ago. Mrs. Rodgers wasn't even Mrs. Rodgers when Cana lived here!"

Damien shrugged. "Ok, I might have used some magic spell on her memory."

"Might have!" Mr. Trench exclaimed.

"What's the big deal?" Damien asked. "It's not like you guys didn't miss her. Aren't you happy to have her back?" he turned to Esther. "Esther, she's your best friend, now it can be how it used to! The three of us, hanging out like we used to, aren't you happy you have your best friend back?"

Esther just stood there, her mouth hanging open. How could he ask her something like that? Of course Esther was happy to see Cana again, but not like this. Didn't Damien ever realize, how much it hurt her? Even when they were kids, Damien would always chase after Cana, and never pay attention to her. Didn't he notice her inward sobs, as he would write her every day, putting little hearts at the bottom, noticing Cana like she wished he would notice her? Esther had thought he had finally gotten over her. He hadn't talked about her for a long length of time for a while. He had even complemented Esther on how her eyes shined in the sun. This last past year had been one of her happiest; Damien had finally started noticing her. And now, he does this? "Damien," she started, but didn't want to say much, for fear the tears would come out.

"That's not the issue lad!" Mr. Trench interrupted, much to Esther's relief. "'Course we're happy to see her, but not like this! The lass deserves to have her true memory back, we can't hog the girl all t' ourselves you know."

"And what's this about you being her boyfriend?" Jack added. Damien went silent. "I bet I know that happened." Jack continued. "You went there, and found out that she had found another boy didn't you? She had moved on and you couldn't handle that, that Cana might love someone else more than she likes you?" Jack took a step closer to him. "You couldn't handle sharing her? Couldn't handle the thought that someone else might like Cana, might be more deserving..."

"He didn't deserve her." Damien interrupted. His eyes blazing. "That guy was no good for her, she deserves better."

"Oh and that 'better' just happened to be you?" Jack questioned.

"This ends here Damien." Mr. Johnson said. "You're going to return her memory, now."

Damien frowned, his eyes narrowing. "no." All eyes looked at him. "No, I'm not going to send her back there, this is her home."

"Was her home!" Jack said again. "She has another home, other people who miss her."

"I said she's not." Just then, Damien's aura started glowing, an unmistakable dark magic emanating from him. Everyone walked away from him, their backs pressed against the wall.

"Calm down there Lad." Mr. Trench said, slowly.

"She is not going back. And none of you, or anyone else in this town, is going to notice anything out of the ordinary, everyone is going to act like everything's normal, and we're all going to enjoy Cana being here."

"And if we happen to tell her?" Jack said, trying to be brave.

Damien looked at him, his eyes glowing black, (eyes don't really glow black do they?) "You guys all remember what happened when that boy tried to steal from me earlier this year?" no one dared say a word. "I think it took him, oh, 3 hours, to finally stop screaming? He sure was a fighter though wasn't he?" he looked at them all, smiling. "I would just hate it if that happened to someone you guys care about, wouldn't you?"

Evergreen POV.

Ever growled in annoyance. Not only had her team spent half the day on the train, her partners still hung-over after last night's party- seriously, did they never learn. But then when she got here, she found out they had to destroy at least 7 different bandit hideouts, all at least a mile by car into the forest. Then, if it wasn't bad enough, treading into the forest with her high heeled boots, one of the bandits they fought, decided it would be a fun idea to spatter her with Ketchup. Ketchup! Of all things!

"I'm a mess!" she whined, trying desperately to whip the ketchup out of her hair. "EW, this is disgusting."

"Just wash up when we get back to the inn." Bixlow called, his little dolls all agreeing with him. They were back in town now, having just met with their client. He was the mayor of the town. Something that seemed weird to Ever was that when he talked about getting rid of the bandits, it sounded like he was more worried for them, then he was for the people in the town, like they were the ones that needed to be scared away for their protection.

"I must admit, this town is rather cute." Freed said, breaking Ever out of her thoughts.

"It's a small town." Laxus said, walking ahead of them. "It's kind of old fashioned, there aren't very many magic users here, though they have a magic shop."

"Laxus has such insight!" Freed said.

"How did you know that Laxus?" Ever asked.

Laxus shrugged. "Someone told me, don't remember who."

Evergreen raised an eyebrow, but shrugged it off. The group of them finally arrived at their hotel. It was a small one, but it was cute. Evergreen got a room all to herself, it was smaller than the one the guys had, but it worked. She got in the shower, and spent the next hour in there. Then, she got out, and collapsed onto her futon, falling asleep almost instantly.

Evergreen huffed in annoyance. Why did she have to come? Evergreen glared at the little brunette girl, who was holding onto Laxus' hand like he was her lifeline. Ever scowled. She sure had some guts, to try to take HER Laxus!

Ever had had a crush on Laxus since the moment she saw him. How could you not? He was so strong, the strongest in the guild, and he was INCREDIBLY good looking! It was hard enough to get some alone time with him with the two annoyances around, but now this girl just pops in, and somehow thinks she owns him? She wasn't even at his level. Laxus was 15, and the girl couldn't be older than 13! Laxus could do SO much better, A.K.A Evergreen. (I know the ages are wrong, sorry about that.)

Laxus looked up. "This is the Motel here. We'll rest here for the night." He looked down at the girl, who was clutching his hand. "You can't stay in the same room as me."

She looked up at him, giving the cutest puppy dog eyes that made Ever want to spit. "I don't want to stay alone."

Laxus turned. "Hey Ever! Do you mind if she stays with you tonight?"

Ever bit her lip. "That's fine." She said through her teeth.

Later in the room, the girl was sitting at the desk, looking through her cards. Ever walked over to her, and slammed her hand on the desk. The girl looked up at her expectantly. "Look girl." Ever started. "Let's get one thing straight. You may like Laxus, but he is not yours, He is mine. Laxus can do so much better than you, he is to strong and way to good looking to settle for someone like you."

"But not for someone like you?" the girl asked.

"Of course!" Evergreen said, flipping her hair. "Someone as perfect as Laxus could only end up with someone as amazing as me!"

The girl starred at her for a moment. "I don't think Laxus is perfect."

Ever stopped. "Excuse me?"

The girl continued. "Sure, Laxus is strong, and kind, -at least to me and you guys- and good looking. But he's also cocky, and has too much pride. He doesn't listen to other people's judgment over his own, he values strength, and peoples view of him and Fairy tail over being happy. Also, even though he cares about people, he struggles with showing it."

Evergreen sputtered. "H-How dare you say something like that!"

The girl looked at her. "If you're going to love someone, then you should be able to see the imperfections as well as the perfections, and be able to love them despite it. Isn't that what I means to love, loving all of them, not just the good things, but the bad too?" Ever was at a loss for words. The girl then smiled. "I like you; you want to be my friend?"

Evergreen's eyes flashed open. "What the heck?"

Not trying to be vain here, but I actually like how this one turned out. Sure it could have been a lot better, but it wasn't too bad in my books. I hope you guys enjoyed it, please Review!
