Chapter 10 See the Light
The next morning, Lily finally found Gajeel in the clearing, sleeping his heart's content. He tried glaring him awake, but that doesn't work. Suddenly, one of his sweats drops onto said criminal, successfully waking him up.
"W-what the hell?" Gajeel asks in confusion, trying to figure out what woke him up. He looks up and sees Lily giving him a death glare. He throws one of his own while growling,
"So you finally found me. Well, I hope you're here to apologize." He suddenly gets lifted off the ground by Lily, but he wrestles him to the ground. Due to the fighting, it woke up Levy. She sees the fighting and shrieks,
"Please stop fighting!" But they wouldn't listen to her. So she looks at Erza giving her the, 'It's time' look. Erza gives her a nod and gives out a big whistle, catching the attention of both horse and man. Levy gives them her "Puppy Dog Look From Hell" look, said to make any man do whatever the person wanted.
"P-please stop fighting..." she whispered.
'Wow she's good/hot.' Lily and Gajeel thought while letting each other go. Levy gives a satisfied smirk, shocking Gajeel.
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" he screams, but the girl ignored him, walking to the horse, who is ready to kill the criminal where he stood.
"Easy, boy, easy!" she says calmly, stopping the horse.
"That's it! Now sit." she commands, while the horse does what she said, shocking Gajeel even further.
"Good boy!" she grabs a kiwi out of her bag, making Lily very happy. She offers the kiwi to Lily, who happily eats it with sparkles in his eyes.
"You're all tired from chasing the bad man all over the place?" Levy asks Lily who nods his head like a sad kitty, both ignoring the "HEY!" from said bad man.
"Nobody appreciates you, do they? Do they?" she asks even further, hugging him. Lily shakes his head while nuzzling into her.
"Oh come on, he's a bad horse!" Gajeel protests.
"Oh, he's nothing but a BIG sweetheart!" Levy interjects, while said horse neighs in agreement.
"Isn't that right?" Levy asks looking at his collar, "PantherLily?"
Lily is enjoying the attention before Gajeel destroys it by asking sarcastically,
"You've GOTTA be kidding me?" Lily just gives him a glare, but Levy stops him by saying,
"Look. Today is kind of the BIGGEST day of my life, and the thing is, I need you NOT to get him arrested." She pulls Gajeel up as she speaks. Lily grunts in disagreement, but Levy retorts,
"JUST for 24 hours and then you can chase each other to your heart's content, okay?" Gajeel sighs and holds out his hand for a hand shake. Lily turns away in defiance before Levy mutters,
"And it's also my birthday. Just so you know." Lily sighs before reluctantly shaking Gajeel's hand with his hoof, giving him a glare in the process. Levy gives a look of triumph, before hearing bells in the distance. She walks toward the sound, giving Lily time to punch Gajeel in the gut, causing the man to grunt and the horse to chuckle.
Levy runs to the bridge and mouthing 'Wow' in wonder and awe. She runs across the bridge with Gajeel and Lily in tow. Gajeel sees a wanted poster of himself, crumples it up, and stuffs it in Lily's mouth, who spits it on Gajeel's face. The two start fighting but Erza gives them a death glare telling them to stop. They reluctantly stop, but still push each other.
Levy enters the town and sees banners of suns and other festivities. She starts to walk forward, but is stopped when people are stepping on her hair. Gajeel shows up and picks up some of her hair, with Lily right behind him. He looks and sees three girls giving each other braids.
"Oi, girls!" Gajeel yells at them. They look in their direction and see Levy's hair. They are excited and they get to work, having fun along the way. Gajeel sees the castle guards and ducks behind the wall he was leaning on. Lily give him a glare, but they turn and see Levy in her braided hair.
There were flowers in them but what really took the cake was the flower near her face, accenting her eyes. While Levy praises the girls for their work, Gajeel is practically drooling over her, but stops when Lily gives him a confident look that says, 'You liiiiike her!' Gajeel gives him a glare in return.
Gajeel and Levy are later in line for some fruit when Levy sees the mural of the King, Queen, and their daughter. She notices that the child has the same hair and eyes as her. She overhears a little girl saying, "It's for the lost princess!"
Levy is intrigued about this fact until she hears music and follows it. When Gajeel turns around with his purchases, he sees Levy dancing and bringing in people to dance. When he sees her beckoning him to join, he shakes his head no, but Lily pushes him into the crowd. Gajeel gives him a half-assed glare while Lily and Erza are laughing.
(A/N: This next paragraph will be in segments. Sorry if this will confuse you.) He buys Levy a banner of the sun, who looks at it through the sunlight. They later try to get to each other while dancing but people cut in. They give each other a shrug. Levy also paints a mural of her own of the towns insignia: the sun. Levy and Gajeel are eating cupcakes while hiding from the palace guards. They later are in the library, reading the encyclopedia. Everyone is having the time of their lives dancing, but Gajeel wants to dance with Levy. Said girl is dancing with her eyes closed until they are finally together, just as the music stops.
"TO THE BOATS!" someone shouts. Gajeel and Levy break apart when they hear that. They head to the gondola that Gajeel rented. Gajeel turns to Lily and shouts,
"Oi! Lily!" he tosses him a bag of kiwis. Lily gives him a suspicious look.
"What? I bought them!" he reassured. Lily was content with that answer and starts eating the fruit until,
"Most of them!" Gajeel says with a smirk, successfully shocking the horse.
"Where are we going?" Levy asks.
"Well, best day of your life, I figured you should have a decent seat." He replies while placing Erza behind him.
They are in the middle of the lake and they are waiting for the show to begin. Levy sighs sadly.
"You ok?" Gajeel asks in concern.
"I'm terrified." Levy whispers.
"Why?"
"I've been looking out a window for 18 years, dreaming about what it might feel like when those lights rise in the sky." Levy admits smiling before sighing, "But what if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?" she asks.
"It will be." he smiles knowingly. She hums in agreement before asking,
"And what if it is? What do I do then?"
"Well, that's the best part, I guess. You get to go find a new dream." he admits while she hums in agreement.
In the castle, meanwhile, King Gray and Queen Juvia are getting ready for the lantern ceremony. Juvia turns to see her husband sad. She adjusts his pendant and gives him a loving go onto the balcony, light the lantern and set it free, creating a domino effect throughout the kingdom.
While putting lilies down into the water, Levy sees the first lanterns. She immediately goes to the other end of the boat and watches, while Gajeel falls backwards from the rocking. She watches in awe as the lanterns fly into the sky.
'All those days, watching from the windows.' She thinks to herself. 'All those years, outside looking in. All that time never even knowing, just how blind I've been.' The lanterns escape from the kingdom and they are released from the ships. 'Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight. Now I'm here, suddenly I see. Standing here, it's all so clear. I'm where I'm meant to be.'
The lanterns light up the sky, making Levy and Erza watch them in awe and wonder. 'And at last I see the light! And it's like the fog has lifted. And at last I see the light! And it's like the sky is new. And it's warm and real and bright. And the world has somehow shifted. All at once, everything looks different. Now that I see you.' Levy turns to see Gajeel holding two lit lanterns in his hands. She scoots up and says,
"I have something for you." She takes out the satchel with the stolen crown and explains, "I should have given it to you before, but I was scared. And the thing is, I'm not scared anymore. You know what I mean?" Gajeel pushes the satchel aside and says smiling,
"I'm starting to." Levy smiles back and they both launch their lanterns. While their lanterns are dancing around each other, Gajeel thinks, 'All those days, chasing down a daydream. All those years, living in a blur. All that time, never truly seeing, things the way they were.' He sees her looking and pointing at the lanterns like a little kid. 'Now she's here, shining in the starlight. Now she's here, suddenly I know. If she's here, it's crystal clear. I'm where I'm meant to go.' He grabs hold of Levy's hands, who turns to him, and they sing out, with love in their eyes,
"And at last I see the light!"
"And it's like the fog has lifted." Gajeel sings softly.
"And at last I see the light!"
"And it's like the sky is new!" Levy sings out.
"And it's warm and real and bright! And the world has somehow shifted. All at once everything looks different. Now that I see you." They both lean in to kiss, causing Erza to blush and hide her face, but takes a peek anyway.
"Now that I see you." Gajeel moves a bit of Levy's hair behind her ears and leans in for the kiss, but sees something in the horizon. The Twin Dragons.
'Shit! I thought I lost them!' Gajeel cursed in his head.
"Is everything ok, Gajeel?" Levy asks.
"Huh? Oh, yea, uh, huh. Yes, of course. I just..." He stutters before rowing Levy to the shore.
"I'm sorry, everything is fine. There's just something I have to take care of." He apologized.
"O-ok..." Levy says unsure.
"I'll be right back." Gajeel says while grabbing the satchel and giving Levy a kiss on the cheek, causing said girl to blush. Erza gives him a worried stare.
"It's alright, Erza." Levy reassured her.
Gajeel walks to Sting, who is making a staff, or something.
"Hey, there you are! Huh. I've been searching everywhere for you guys since we got separated. Hey, sideburns just coming in nice, huh? Gotta be excited about that." He says with a cheeky grin, but Sting just gives him a bored look.
"Anyhow, just wanted to say, I shouldn't have split, the crown is all yours, I'll miss ya, but I think it's for the...best." He says tossing the satchel and backing away but bumps into Rogue.
"Holding out on us again, eh, Metalicana?" Sting asks evilly.
"What?" Gajeel asks completely confused.
"We heard you found somethin'. Somethin' much more valuable than a crown." Rogue says.
"We want the her instead." Sting says with an evil grin.
A few minutes later, Levy notices a shadow where Gajeel left.
"Oh. I was starting to think you ran off with the crown and left me." Levy laughs until she sees that the shadow turn into two.
"He did." Sting says with a sinister grin.
"W-what? No, he wouldn't." Levy disagrees.
"See for yourself." Rogue says pointing toward a boat with Gajeel holding the helm of the boat with the satchel. Away from Levy.
"Gajeel." She whispers before yelling, "GAJEEL!"
"Fair trade, a crown for the girl with the magic hair?" Sting interjects with an evil smile. Levy turns around, scared for her life.
"How much do you think someone would pay to stay young and healthy forever?" Rogue asks just as evilly as his brother. He takes out a bag and they both gang up on Levy, who pleads,
"No! Please, no! No!" She closes her eyes when she hears thumping noises. She opens them to see Minerva standing in front of the Twin Dragons' unconscious bodies.
"Levy!" she says with relief.
"Minerva? H-how did you-?" Levy tries to ask but Minerva pulls her in a hug.
"Oh, my precious girl! I was so worried about you dear. So I followed you. And I saw them attack you and-oh my, let's go, let's go before they come too." Minerva explains while smirking evilly on the inside. Levy turns to see Gajeel in the distance, heading towards the kingdom. She starts tearing up and runs into Minerva's arms.
"You were right, Minerva. You were right about everything." she sobs.
"Shh. I know, darling. I know." Minerva replies with a smirk on her face.
The boat that Gajeel is on reaches the harbor, alerting the guards.
"Look! The crown!" says one of them. Gajeel comes too, finding himself tied up to the helm with the satchel in his grasp.
"Levy. LEVY!" he screams out, worried about the girl. 'Dammit! I should have known that Minerva bitch had something to do with this! I have to save Levy!' He thought to himself, but he was apprehended by the guards.
"No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, guys, guys!" he tries to reason, but the guards won't listen. Meanwhile, Lily sees Gajeel being apprehended from afar.
"LEVY!" Gajeel roars out. Lily looks into the foggy shore on the other side, thinking of a plan.
