Helloooo guys! I'm back! Last chapter I said I would be able to update a day after, but oops because I totally forgot my friends were staying over for a while and we were doing stuff all day. My bad guys! Thanks to all who have reviewed, favorited, and followed. I hope that this story will hold everyone's interest, and I'm sorry about my lack of writing skill. I hope to improve while writing this story, criticism appreciated. I'm writing this on the 11th but it's probably going to take a day or 2 to finish because I want to make this chapter really long because the last chapter was really short (Really sorry about that, I always have a problem with writing long chapters). Now I'll stop blabbing and get onto the story.

Lucy already knew what she was going to do since leaving Fairy Tail. It had been a week, and she was making preparations. In Fairy Tail, while she was a part of Team Natsu, she knew her power was limited. Gray, Erza, and Natsu would all upshow her when defeating powerful foes. She often stood in the background. So, this time around she was going to get stronger. She was going to make her own guild. Lucy also had a hope of maybe, just maybe seeing Fairy Tail in the Grand Magic Games, if she could enter. She had everything sorted out. (A/N: I'm going to have to tweak the canon a bit. In this universe, Jude never goes bankrupt and after he dies he leaves the Heartfilia Manor to Lucy) Now, all she needed to do was to actually gather members for her guild. Instead of worrying about the task at hand, she went back to training with her spirits. She was working on star dresses, and also had a goal of being able to simultaneously summon 3 spirits without being exhausted. After her training was over, Lucy went to check on the new guild hall she was making inside of the Heartfilia Manor. The decorations were going on nicely, and she had already decided on a guild stamp. The stamp had three stars on it, all three of them surrounding the number 88, in a cursive-like font. She was moving furniture around the hall when she heard a knock on the front door. She moved to open the door, and was met with a girl, who looked to be about her age, at the door.

"Hello. My name is Serenity Tria. Rumor has it you're making a guild in the Heartfilia Manor?" The girl asked.

"Y-yes. I'm Lucy Heartfilia. I am making a guild here, why do you ask?" Lucy replied, smiling.

"I want to join the guild. And sort of be like... co-master? If that's not too much to ask..."

"Of course! Ooooh, my first member! And yes, you can be co-master. I will need someone to help around here. Let's get you a guild stamp!"

Serenity nodded. "So, where and what color?" Lucy asked.

"I want it in dark purple on the back of my neck, please!" Serenity pointed to the spot, and Lucy stamped it on. Lucy stopped and took in Serenity's features. Serenity had a pear-like body shape, and she was bout 5'5. Her hair was a little less than shoulder length and teal-colored. She had her very thick hair into two double dutch braid buns. She had soft hazel eyes and freckles. She was wearing black dolphin hem shorts with an off the shoulder white top. She had black and white sneakers with knee high socks.

"Whoo! Our first official member!" Lucy cheered.

"Yes. I'll try to recruit more of my friends. When are you officially opening?" Serenity smiled.

"In two days. I should've asked earlier, but what is your magic, Serenity?"

"Galaxial magic. I have a ton of spells."

"Sounds great! Come back tomorrow, bring any friends. See you then!"

"Alright! Bye, Lucy!" Serenity waved, and Lucy waved back as she watched her go off.

It had been a week, and nobody in Fairy Tail had seen Lucy.

"Maybe she took a really long job and didn't want anyone tagging along?" Levy wondered.

"No, she didn't, unless she took it without telling me." Mira replied.

"Or, maybe she's in the celestial spirit world training or something? You know how time is there."

"Possibly. At least I hope it's that, and not..." Mira's voice trailed off.

"Lu-chan can take care of herself! I'm sure she wouldn't be injured or worse."

"I hope so too, Levy, but she is the daughter of two wealthy people."

"I thought everyone was past that?"

"Maybe-" Mira was cut off by Natsu.

"Yo Mira! Any news on Lucy? No sightings?" Natsu asked.

"I'm afraid not, Natsu."

"I swear, if Lucy doesn't come back, I WILL find her myself and drag her back home!"

"Yeah! I miss Lucy!" Happy chimed in.

"We all do, Natsu."

Lucy hopped out of bed and changed into her outfit. She had a distressed denim mid-thigh skirt with a tie-die halter top and black sandals. She put hair into space buns and put on some winged eyeliner and liquid lipstick. It was already 10:00 AM and she heard a knock on her door. She opened it to greet Serenity with her 3 new friends.

"Hey Lucy! These are my friends, Piper Lyla, Lilith Heather, and Liana Stella." Serenity said with a wide grin.

"Hi Lucy! I'm Piper, and I use Light Magic. I'm 18." Piper said. Piper had a curvier frame, and she had reddish-orange hair in two fishtail braids and icy blue eyes. She was wearing a floral surplice minidress.

"I'm Lilith, Piper and I are best friends. I use Dark Magic, and I'm also 18." Lilith said. Lilith had dark purple hair that was currently down, and she had dark green eyes. She had a baby pink cropped tee with flowy white shorts.

"And I'm Liana. I use supportive enchantment magic. I'm 17." Liana said. Liana had brown hair with gentle dark brown eyes. Her hair was in a messy top knot. She was wearing a two piece set of a lace-up black top and ripped white shorts with pockets sticking out.

"Nice to meet you guys! I'm Lucy, as you know. I'm 17. Now, let's go get your guild marks!" Lucy walked to the stamps.

"I'll have mine on my collarbone in teal!" Piper said.

"I want mine in indigo on my thigh." Lilith yelled.

"Mine will be purple on my left hand!" Liana grinned as hers was stamped on.

"Well I guess this is the start of our guild, Starry Heaven!" Lucy smiled triumphantly. The three others nodded and smiled.

Hope you liked it! Sorry for the long wait since last chapter. I tried not to go to in-depth into the character's looks but if anyone wants to know more, I'm going to post incomplete OC sheets on my profile (excluding backstory, etc.). So next chapter will hopefully be out within a week!
