"That's a cool name! I already told you mine, but my nickname is Lulu, Because you know, Lucy and Luna." Lucy reasoned shyly

"Oh, okay! Um well sorry to run into you, I actually was returning something of yours. It fell on the ground over there." Gray pointed to the area underneath the sink, and handed her the turquoise wallet. Lucy jaw-dropped, and with that she had a surprised look plastered on her face. 'That wallet! Mother bought that in a magic shop near our house, but how can he see it?'

"Oh, thanks Gray!" Lucy shuck off the weird feeling she had and picked back up her wallet. "Since you didn't steal from my wallet and gave it back, do you want me to get us some chow? It'll be my treat!" Lucy said with a huge smile on her face.

"S-Sure" Gray said with a sincere smile, and with that they stood up. Lucy went over to the sink to wash her hands. "So how old are you, Gray?"

"Oh I'll be turning 7 next month, you?"

"Today is my sixth birthday" Lucy looked down at her feet with sorrow.

"Oh, happy birthday Lulu! Umm, if you don't mind me asking… where are your parents?" Lucy looked up at Gray, in the mirror.

"My mother just died today, when we were camping in the forest. Thieves stabbed her, I got away. My father was killed after he threw my mother and me out." Lucy said with tears forming, she wiped them away. "But that's in the past now, I can't cry now. If I do then that'll prove that I'm not mentally capable to do this." Gray took a step back in surprise then told her his troubles about his parents and how a demon killed them.

"But now you're stuck with me, my adorable student." A woman's voice came from the stall next to the one Lucy was in.

"Ur, stop calling me that!" Gray went over and punched Ur in the shoulder. "Oh, so you were eavesdropping on the whole conversation, huh?"

"Well Gray, you should have known I was here! I am the reason you in the woman's washroom!" Ur got on the defensive side. It went back and forth until Ur remembered something.

"Why hello, Lucy right?" Ur came over and gave Lulu a hug "I heard what happened to you, if you want you can stay with us until you've developed your magic energy." As Ur spoke that sentence, Lucy smiled and one lone tear fell.

"Okay!" Lucy smiled, and she felt already a part of a new family.

"Let's grab some grub!" The trio said in unison, then proceeded to a table after Lucy put her bag back together again.

(LUCY POV)

"I'll have a Vanilla milkshake please" Gray spoke up and turned to me.

"I'll have what he is having" I muttered, underneath my breath.

"Make those four Vanilla milkshakes!" Ur said with enthusiasm, the waitress nodded her head and swiftly made her way back to the kitchen.

"So, Lu-chan. My name is Ur and I master ice make magic. If you want I can teach it to you, then when you to become stronger you three would probably join a guild." Ur explained.

"Three?" I asked, wondering if she had another classmate.

"Yes, matter in fact there he is" Ur pointed to a boy around my age with sterling hair; he just came out of the boy's bathroom. He sat down beside me to my right and put his arm around my shoulders.

"Hello there, my name is Lyon" He said with a wink. Gray, who was sitting to my left hit Lyon's hand off my shoulders and replaced it with his own.

"No Lyon, she went through a lot today. Leave her be. Her name is Lulu, Full name is Lucy Luna." Gray said with a territorial sound to his voice. It seems he has become protective of me, I gave a little giggle.

"It's okay Gray, I'm fine." I looked softly at him, and put my hand on his shoulder. I turned over to Lyon and held my hand out to shake. "Nice to meet you, I'm your new classmate" I grinned at him, and then the milkshakes arrived.

"Oh, nice to meet you to Lulu" We all grabbed a milkshake from the center of the table.

After that we all ordered and talked about our adventures, problems and plans for where we will go next. We ordered and then ate our meal to an entertainer how was a comedian; everyone ate, drank milkshakes and laughed the whole night. After the comedian was done, we left to seem to be a hotel?

"Thanks Ur" I turned to Ur, who looked back at me and smiled.

"No, thank you my adorable student" She gave me a smile, and grabbed my hand in hers. 'Now, I'm finally apart of a family that works.' "Lulu, before you came along the three of us shared a room. But since now we have a young lady we will still share a room but you will be in between Gray and I." I nodded in response, holding her hand tightly.

(GRAY'S POV)

"You see that?" Lyon pointed over to Lulu and Ur holding hands.

"Yeah Why?" Gray's voice was opposite of his soft eyes and smile.

"LuLu is now our sister Gray; we must protect her with our lives. Do you understand that? Do you know our responsibility now?" The idea of Lulu as my sister was eye opening, a family was forming. Lulu made that family complete. The mother is Ur, Older brother is Lyon, I'm Lulu's big brother, and Lulu is my darling little sister. Lyon is right, if anything happens to Ur we must protect Lucy. I ran up to Lucy and Ur and grabbed Lulu's hand. I looked back to Lyon, tilting my head to tell him to hold Ur's hand. He nodded and ran up beside Ur.

"I will protect you, Lulu!" I said with my fist in the air, motioning to the gods I will protect her to my last breath. She blushed in response, holding my hand tighter. Lyon did the same to Ur as I did to Lucy, but instead of a blush' n' nod he got a one armed hug and a "Do whatcha gotta do, kid"

We arrived at our hotel about five minutes of the flattery, as soon as we got there Ur and Lulu got a bath and Lyon and I went to bed.

(LUCY'S POV)

-in the bathroom-

"This feels nice, I love hotel baths" Ur said while resting her head against the edge of the tub, just closing her eyes. " Um kid, why didn't you take off that blue ribbon yet?" Ur asked, her eyes completely closed.

"Not sure, I just get an uneasy feeling when I tried to take it off so I'll just wash it with my hair." I answered, just getting into the tub. I dunked my head under the warm water, letting it wash away my worries. I feel so safe when I'm with them, one night and I already feel at home.

After the bath we got dressed and went to bed, I was surprised from what Gray looks like when he is sleeping; so peaceful, gentle, calm. I layed down beside Ur, as planned I was in the middle of Ur and Gray. I fell asleep in Ur's arms, she was my motherly figure now, I love her.

(GRAY'S POV)

-The next morning-

"Lyon! Give me my blanket back you thief!" I yell whispered to my brother like classmate.

"I Don't have it!" He sleepily hissed back. I opened up one eye, as my eye adjusted to the dim, morning light. I looked around helplessly, looking for my run away blanket. I finally looked over to Lucy, who was sleeping peacefully with two blankets piled up on top of her. I melted at the sight, causing a small smile poking at my lips. 'After all she's been through, she can still put that behind her to move forward.' I recalled what she said last night, ("But that's in the past now, I can't cry now. If I do then that'll prove that I'm not mentally capable to do this.") I sat up and got another blanket from the closet across the room. I returned and noticed Ur holding Lucy tightly in her arms, this also caused me to melt. I flopped back down between Lucy and Lyon and threw the comforter over my shoulders and drifted back to sleep 'I have to do the same as Lucy is doing, I have to become stronger for Lucy!'
