Authors Note~ Hello friends! Hopefully this gets updated earlier than I had planned! Which I don't think it will! But I have a lot of stuff to do, I'm glad I got to at least write this chapter for you! Anyways, DID ANYONE READ THE NEW CHAPTER!? GAJEEL AND LEVY KISSED, it was amazing! Enough of my blabbering, on with the story!
Right now, I am sitting down, eating my half eaten sandwich. Natsu is responsible for eating the other half. I watched Natsu run around the beach chasing Happy, they are so cute. I kind of want to join them, is that silly of me?
I groaned aloud, I want three more of these sandwiches. What? I'm really hungry. I actually don't even know where Erza kept these while we were walking, maybe Elfman was carrying them? The world may never know!
My smile dropped as I finish the remains of my sandwich. These sandwiches were like magic, it's was probably Mira who made them. I glanced around to see everyone, they looked like they were enjoying their meals.
I'm all alone right now. I hate feeling lonely. I know I'm not actually alone right now, but I feel like it. Damn, this stupid side always gets to me. Whenever I'm alone, I just begin to worry and think about things, deep things.
There was one thing I totally forgot to think of though. How in the world we're we going to get to Aquarius? I know this is the location, but this ocean is pretty big. We don't have all the time in world, we're kind of limited on time.
"I see you doing some deep thinking." Natsu sighed happily as he sat next to me with another sandwich. I thought Natsu was messing around with Happy, when did he stop? I really hope Happy doesn't hate me for taking up all of Natsu's time lately.
"Oi, don't think like that." Natsu gritted out while poking me in my side. Oh yes, I keep forgetting our minds are now out in the open for each other. Isn't that just great, I have no more privacy thanks to this mate bond thing. I don't really have a name for it right now, but I will.
But this weird mind thing could come in handy soon. During battle we don't have to talk about the plan, we just know what the other person's thinking. Also Natsu's usually hard to read, but now he's an open book. This is perfect! I can now crack the case I've been wondering about since the beginning.
"You're so evil Luce." Natsu groaned while falling back onto his back. Natsu began to eat his sandwich. I giggled allowed. I guess I was pretty evil, not! I looked down to my right to see Natsu staring at me.
"What?" I asked. Natsu raised his eyebrows repeatedly while taking another bite. It was like he was trying to tell me something, by using his eyebrows? I guess I could try reading his mind. I squinted my eyes and tried to focus. It, kind of hurt.
"You're trying too hard Lucy." Natsu sang. I rolled my eyes and decided to give up. I fell back onto my back and looked at Natsu. It was kind of romantic. Except it was also a little creepy that we are just staring at each other and one of use had a sandwich.
Don't think about the sandwich Lucy, just think about something else. But that sandwich is really looking good right about now. Oh I'm terrible. My mother always told me not to stare at others people food.
"You want some of my sandwich don't you?" Natsu teased. My jaw dropped. Damn, he can see right through me. I growled as I closed my eyes. I wonder if Erza has anymore, knowing her she probably only has cake now.
"You can have some," Natsu smirked. "Except there's a catch." There will always be a catch won't there? I sighed as I opened my eyes. I leaned up, hovering over him. I put on a sweet smile on my face.
"And what's the catch?" I chimed. Natsu looked annoyed with the whole big smile I had on. He was probably annoyed because it was fake. I will get his sandwich!
"You have to catch me." Natsu grinned. In a blink of an eye, he was off the ground and running. I looked down, and then at him. How did he do that? I shook myself out of it and jumped up from the ground. I will catch him.
I took off running. Natsu was much faster than me, but I have a trick up my sleeve. I saw the exceeds in my sight and grabbed Lily. Lily looked like he could be the one to help me with this. Lily's eyes widened when I catnapped him.
"What the hell!" Lily cried. I tried to explain to him without falling flat on my face.
"I.. need.. to.. catch.. Natsu!" I panted out. Lily nodded in agreement. Thank god. Everything was totally okay until Gajeel was chasing me now.
"What are you doing with my cat?!" Gajeel hissed. Oh god, he was getting closer. Lily winked at me as he grabbed onto the back of my shirt, and yelled something familiar. I think Happy's said it before.
"Max speed!" Lily yelled out. And before I even knew it, we were going really fast. Gajeel was in the dust.
"I'm just borrowing him for a bit!" I called back. I could see Gajeel's glare, I shivered. I looked ahead of me. We were right on Natsu's tail. I gave Lily a thumbs up, and he dropped me. I didn't think he would drop me.
"Ah Lucy!" Natsu grunted out. I fall right on top of him. At least I didn't get hurt. Natsu really took the fall.
"Sorry." I hissed out. Natsu looked up at me with wide eyes. I caught him! I really caught him. I can't believe, well I can considering I'm on top of him. Natsu frowned as he held up the sandwich, a little bit out of my reach.
"I totally thought it would have been destroyed by now." I sighed happily. It was saved. I reached out, but Natsu pushed me back.
"What, I won." I whined while reaching for the sandwich. Natsu shook his head, and took another bite. How dare him. I totally won that battle.
"You cheated." Natsu hissed. I did not, okay maybe a little. He never said anything about not using the exceeds.
"No I did not." I growled. I won fair and square, I deserve the rest of the sandwich. Natsu looked quite amused. It looks like I won't be getting my sandwich, all that running for nothing. All my hopes were lost, until I got an idea.
"What are you thinking?" Natsu asked, we was quite suspicious of my actions. I leaned down, slowly. I could feel Natsu beginning to become, scared? I reached my hand out and grabbed his wrist. Our lips were inches away. Natsu's eyes widened.
"I-In front of everyone?" Natsu stuttered. I looked behind me to see everyone minding their own business. I turned back to Natsu, I even raised an eyebrow. Natsu was totally believing me. I was doing a great job of keeping out of my head right now.
"I don't see why we can't." I whispered. Natsu closed his eyes, he was totally blushing. Now's my chance. I leaned over his face and went for the kill. The sandwich was now in my grasps! Haha! Take that!
"W-What the heck Lucy!" Natsu whined as I took a bite. I smiled while chewing the delicious sandwich. I win. I leaned up and finished the sandwich. Natsu looked a little heartbroken. I don't know if it was over the sandwich, or over the no kiss.
"You will get punishment for that." Natsu hissed. I shrugged it off, I've heard that before. I leaned down to give him a quick kiss on the check, and then I rolled off of him.
I decided to close my eyes. It was so peaceful. Laying here with Natsu, the beach. The feel of the sand on my back. The sound of waves roaring in my ears. The smell of salt water, and cinnamon, which I think was coming from Natsu.
Everything was perfect. I felt like I could forget just a little about my life for only a few seconds. All I needed was peace, it was blissful. I think I was even starting to fall asleep, Natsu began to cuddle up next to me.
I wrapped my arms around his torso and tugged him closer to me. He was so warm, I could never get over the fact of how warm he was. I took a deep breath and then let it all out. I wanted to stay like this forever, but I knew that was impossible.
"Lucy-san, Natsu-san, are you ready?" Juvia said while leaning over us. I knew she was leaning over us, I could sense her. She also provided a shadow which blocked the warm sunlight from coming.
"Five more minutes." I whined while tucking my face into Natsu's shoulder. I could hear Juvia and Natsu laugh. I felt a little bit of déjà vu. I said this to Virgo, the last time I saw her. Oh I wish I could see her now, I should just get this over with soon.
"You don't want Erza-san to come over here do you?" Juvia gasped. I quickly snapped my eyes open and jumped up. Which made me collide heads with Juvia. I clutched onto the top of my head, this is the second time today. Way to go Lucy!
"I'm so sorry." I groaned as I dropped my hands. I noticed something a little weird though. I felt kind of, wet. I glanced over at Juvia, she was in water body mode. Now that I think about it, my head didn't even hurt.
"It's okay Lucy-san." Juvia smiled as she turned her body back to normal. I nodded slowly. Realization hit me hard. I shivered. I just went through Juvia's body, creepiest thing I've ever experienced.
"Stop thinking like that, you're giving me the chills." Natsu shuddered as well. I gave him a silent apology and looked back to Juvia. I glanced behind her to see everyone ready to go. A couple of us were staying back though, I guess they didn't like water.
It would be a little hard if we bought everyone down into the water. Juvia is going to have to use a lot if magic, so it should be easier if there were fewer people along the way to Aquarius. Hopefully we won't take long, I want to get back before dark.
Lisanna and Bixlow sat on a log next to Cana who was drinking, of course. Elfman and Evergreen were seated next to Freed, who was kind of like the third wheel. Or was Cana and him like the third wheels, hmm.
Wendy and Romeo stayed back as well, Romeo hissed as he looked at the water. Wendy laughed as she patted Romeo's back. The exceeds didn't seem to like water very much. I think I kind of know why. I would hate that if I was a cat.
"So it's just going to be You and Gray, Erza and Jellal, and then Natsu and I?" I asked. Juvia nodded but then frowned.
"Gajeel and Levy are also coming." Juvia smiled. I nodded my head and reached a hand down for Natsu's hand. Natsu sighed as he grabbed my hand and got up. I dusted my back off, just to make sure all the sand was gone.
"Okay let's head over to Erza." I sighed. Juvia nodded in agreement. Natsu whined as he followed us over to Erza and Jellal. Juvia walked in the front of everyone, and walked into the water.
"I'm going to put two spells on all of you." Juvia announced. Natsu and I glanced at each other. What kind of spell was she talking about?
"What do you mean rain woman?" Gajeel asked. Well it's like Gajeel read my mind. Juvia rolled her eyes at the rain woman comment.
"The first spell will be to keep you from getting wet." Juvia stated. Well, that's actually a really useful spell. That means my clothes will be safe! Yes!
"The second spell will be so you can breathe under water," Juvia smiled. "It won't hurt so don't worry!" Everyone hummed in wonder. This will be interesting. Juvia sighed happily as she raised her hands.
"Please don't move, it might mess the spell up." Juvia announced before snapping her fingers. The water from the ocean rose and began to head towards us. The water began to cover my whole body.
I was a bit ticklish, so this was very frustrating for me. I tried my best not to burst out in laughter. I glanced down at my skin to see it becoming, somewhat a tint of light blue. Juvia let out a huge breathe, the water retracted back to its original place.
Juvia looked like she was going to collapse. I wonder if that spell really took it out of her. Gray looked extremely worried, and probably even considered moving. But Juvia gave him a glare, she did tell us not to move.
"I'm fine, the second spell needs to be casted." Juvia sighed. Juvia straightened her back, reaching her hands out once again. The water beneath her began to glow different colors. Seven bubbles popped out from the water.
The bubbles, they were coming towards us. I'm going to have a bubble head, this is great. Not really. I have a fear that those bubbles will pop, and whoop there goes my air bubble. The bubble was inches away from my face.
I closed my eyes, I felt something. I felt as if my whole body transformed, but I don't know how. I also feel like I'm not standing anymore. I let one eye open, It was clear as day.
It didn't really feel like there was anything different. So, I must look ridiculous. I must look really blue, and now I have a bubble on my head. Great, not!
"Oh, my god rain woman." Gajeel hissed as he looked down at himself. I quickly looked over to Natsu. Natsu looked at me.
"Oh this is great!" Levy laughed. Levy's laughing subsided when she noticed something, really important.
"We have tails!?" Everyone cried out. Juvia giggled as she swam in the water. Well I'm glad she's having a great time. I'm on the sand, and now I have a tail. I was no longer blue though, hmm.
"What happened to the bubble's and blue skin, and why do we have tails?" Erza asked, she looked fascinated. There was also something different as well, My clothes. I looked down to see, some weird shells strapped to my chest.
"This is so cool." I smiled. Levy nodded her head in agreement as she flopped her tail around.
"Well you guys all closed your eyes when the bubbles came, they transformed your body." Juvia giggled. Everyone's tail was different. I looked down to mine to see it shimmering yellow, it was so pretty.
Levy's tail was an orange color, it was metallic somewhat. I glanced over to Erza, her tail was grey mixed with dark grey. You must be thinking, dark grey mixed with grey? It's not the same color. Jellal's tail was somewhat like mine, except white.
My eyes wandered over to Gajeel, his tail was black, with bolts in it. His tail looked a bit rough. I could see in the corner of my eye, two blue tail's. Juvia's kind of matched Gray's. Gray's was a light blue, and Juvia's was a dark blue, and very sparkly.
And lastly, saving the best for last. Was Natsu's tail. My eyes landed on Natsu. He was so, handsome. He was even shirtless, but still had his scarf on, oh boy calm down Lucy. Natsu's tail was bright red, it even looked like it had flames on it.
"You look, amazing." Natsu and I said in unison. I blushed, holy crap. I heard coughing behind me. Everyone was crawling towards the water. Levy signaled us over towards the water. We followed.
I didn't realize how hard this actually was. It was like a arm work out. I felt like a baby. I now know, how a mermaid feels on land.
"How long are we going to be mermaids exactly?" I asked. Juvia hummed in thought.
"That's a good question." Juvia laughed nervously. I groaned. Great! Natsu and I were the last ones in the water. Once we got in the water though, it was great.
"I feel so, refreshed." Gray smiled as he swam past me. He was right. It was an amazing feeling. I decided to take a little swim, it felt great.
"How did you know how to do this Juvia?" I asked. When I said that, bubbles appeared. My voice also came out a little weird.
"My parents taught me it, it's an ancient spell." Juvia giggled. I feel a bit weird though. Is Juvia really feeling okay? Or is she lying. I hope her magic didn't totally drain.
"Okay Lucy, show us the way." Erza demanded. And there it was, the sentence I was fearing to hear. Oh gosh. How do I tell her that I have no idea. I nodded my head, Luna said I could tell where the keys our.
I closed my eyes, and took a deep breath. It felt weird to inhale water. Think Lucy, try to see where she is. Oh god, is this really going to work? I need to calm down, I really need to. I felt a hand on my shoulder.
I peaked my eye open to see Natsu, he was smiling. It was like he gave me a piece of his strength. His smile made me want to try harder, and so I did. That's when I heard something, singing.
"Can anyone hear that?" I asked as I opened my eyes. Everyone looked confused. The singing was getting louder, it was beautiful.
"What do you hear?" Jellal asked. I closed eyes again, trying to focus on the singing. It was like, it was calling me. And that's when I heard my name being called. I opened my eyes, which felt kind of heavy.
"Singing." I stated. I closed my eyes again, and kind of blacked out. I heard Natsu calling my name, everyone was yelling it. I finally shook myself out of it, I was pinned down. Everyone had me pinned on the ground, did I attack someone?
"What happened?" I asked. Erza looked like a worried mother. Everyone, looked so, worried.
"You began swimming off without saying a word, we tried to snap you out of it." Jellal stated. I looked over to Natsu, he was holding his stomach.
"What happened." I said in disbelief. Did I did that? He looked like he was bleeding. It wasn't too bad.
"When Natsu grabbed onto you, you scratched him." Gajeel chuckled. I, scratched him? Like a cat? What the heck is wrong with me. I pulled at my arms, I kind of wanted to get up, but they wouldn't let me.
"Are you going to be taken over again or not?" Erza asked. I shook my head. Erza smiled, everyone let go of me. As soon as I was free, I went to Natsu's side.
"How the hell did I make you bleed?" I asked. Natsu laughed as he let go of his side. He looked like he was healing already, he was fine.
"I'm sorry." I sighed. I do feel bad about it. I can't believe I just let my mind be taken over. I really need to control myself.
"It's okay, but you did show us the way." Natsu said as he pointed to the door in front of us. Wait, a door? There was just some random door, in the middle of the ocean? The door was blue and green, it had little painted fishes on there.
"I've seen this door before." I stated. I got up off the ground and circled the door. The door leaded nowhere, or so I thought. I swam around to the back of the door, it had, a golden chained lock on it which circled the door.
"Where have you seen this exactly?" Levy asked as she came beside me. I really can't put my finger on it.
"I've got no idea." I laughed nervously. Gajeel groaned as he lifted Natsu off the ground. Natsu pretended to be in pain, but he really wasn't. We all circled around the door, I had no idea what to do.
"Well, we found the way in." Gray hissed.
"But now we have to open it." Juvia sighed heavily. I nodded my head. I could figure this out, right? I reached my hands out and pulled on the chain, noting happened.
"Maybe we have to tell it a joke or riddle." Natsu suggested. Hmm, I don't think that would work. Or it could.
"There's a lock ding bat, you need a key." Gray scoffed. After that comment, Gray and Natsu began to fight. I sighed as I began to think. Where was that singing coming from? Was it coming from the door.
"I just don't understand." I sighed heavily. I felt a very hard pat on my back, of course it was Erza.
"It will be okay Lucy." Erza gave me a reassuring smile. It will be okay. I just have to focus. Hopefully I won't black out. Everyone just sat down, or floated in a circle, just talking. I just sat there, in front of the door.
"The fish." I whispered. The fish, they were the same colors of our tales. Eight fish, eight of us.
"Everyone, get up." I stated. Everyone quickly got up and circled me.
"What is it?" Natsu asked. I grabbed his hand and shoved them onto the door. The red fish glowed.
"How in the world did you figure that out?" Gajeel asked as he put his hands onto the door. Everyone followed Gajeel's actions, all the fishes were glowing. Except mine. I reached my hand out of the lock.
"This door isn't locked, it's the key." I smiled.
"Huh?" Gajeel said. I could see why this was a bit confusing.
"Just poor a little bit of magic into it, and then yell Aquarius." I winked. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy.
"This door, it's like an illusion, it's trying to fool us." I smiled. I looked at Natsu, I could see him smiling at me. At least one person believes me.
"If this doesn't work, I'm going to hold it against you forever." Gajeel hissed.
"Ready?" Erza asked. I nodded my head.
"Yes!" Everyone exclaimed in unison. The door began to glow.
"Aquarius!" The singing, I could hear the singing. The door began to shake, I felt something like a wave hit me. Everyone was flung back.
"Oh Neptune, it's the brat." I could hear a woman's voice scoff. Once I regained my sight, I looked down to see a key. The door was never really locked, it was the key itself! The key was golden, it had some type of symbol on it.
I looked up, there she was. She looked like, a mermaid. Well that's what I expected. Was she, calling me a brat? Aquarius came over towards me, I kind of wanted to run away from her.
"It took you so long, I should just stay here!" Aquarius hissed out. Aquarius leaned down and grabbed me. I was face to face with her. Aquarius, she was so beautiful, BUT SHE'S SO MEAN TO ME!
"I-I'm sorry." I stuttered. Aquarius eyed me closely.
"You're still as ugly as you were when you were little." Aquarius scoffed and let go of me. I floated my way down to the ground. Natsu grabbed onto my hand.
"Why are you so mean to Lucy?" Natsu hissed. Aquarius snapped her head into Natsu's direction. Natsu got up and got all up in her business.
"What are you? Her boyfriend?" Aquarius asked. Well not exactly, he's my fiancé.
"We're going to get married." Natsu said bluntly. Oh well, there was nothing too romantic. I was kind of hoping he would profess his undying love for me, but this is Natsu were talking about. I still blushed though, we're going to get married.
"Ha! Like she can even get anybody!" Aquarius laughed. I was, pretty annoyed. What the hell's up with that?
"He's not lying." I said. Aquarius stopped laughing.
"You're pretty serious huh?" Aquarius asked. I nodded.
"Well, It's true." I sighed happily. Aquarius had a slight small on her face.
"So Blondie, where are you taking me?" Aquarius smiled. I was just about to say something, until I heard a faint voice. Actually, it was voices.
"Aquarius!" A voice called out. I looked behind me to see in the distance, men? Except, they were like merman. I turned back to Aquarius to see her completely pale, paler than she usually is.
"Oh Neptune, we have to go." Aquarius gulped. I was going to ask why, but I never got the chance too. Aquarius grabbed me and covered my mouth. She pulled me over to some large rock. The others followed.
"What the hell?" Gajeel whispered. The merman looked frantic. They were probably looking for that door, that is no longer there.
"How do they know you, you were locked up weren't you?" I asked. Aquarius shook her head. Wait, what?
"You need to explain." Erza said, well more like demanded. Aquarius was literally hiding behind me. I guess these merman were bad news. I now have learned something new today, not all mermaids are nice.
"Okay, so I was testing you." Aquarius smiled nervously. I, still don't get it.
"I was seeing if you were worthy of holding my key, which you were, I guess." Aquarius shrugged. I just, I can't, I don't even know what to do anymore.
"So, those are your fan boys?" Gajeel snorted. Aquarius laughed, she actually laughed. I squinted at Gajeel, it looks like Gajeel get's along with ladies who involve water.
"Well, yes. I'm pretty popular." Aquarius snorted. All this time, I was worrying that she was suffering, but noooo. I guess, I just really need to stop over thinking things.
"Okay, but why are we hiding from them?" Jellal asked. That was a good question. I moved my head around to see the merman. They looked nice, and they like Aquarius. So what was wrong.
"They never shut up, they talk to me for hours," Aquarius whined. "They always try to seduce me as well!" Hold up, seduce? This is, so weird.
"Seduce you?" Gray questioned. Aquarius looked a bit, worried. I could only think one thing when it came to seducing mermaids, or merman I guess. It has to be, sirens! But sirens are usually woman, I guess they could also be men.
"Sirens?" I asked. Aquarius snapped her fingers.
"You got it Blondie!" Aquarius stated. I looked once more over to the merman. They were gone.
"You are so cute." A man's voice stated. I quickly turned around to see them Oh god. When did they get here. One of them were blonde, another had brown hair, and the third had black hair.
"I'm Hibiki!" The one with brown hair smiled.
"I'm Eve!" The blonde one bowed.
"I'm Ren." The black haired one whispered. I really didn't know what to do. Did I swim away? Could I swim away fast enough?
"Should we sing to these beauties?" Hibiki said as he eyed Juvia. Gray quickly pulled Juvia over to his side. Eve smiled as he moved towards Levy. Before Eve could even let out a word, Gajeel growled.
"I think you guys should go home." Jellal deadpanned. Wow, I didn't expect that one out of Jellal. Usually Jellal's nice, I guess not.
"I know you guys." Erza gulped. Erza looked very frightened. I haven't seen her this frightened since, Ichiya.
"Ah, Ichiya has been talking about you dear." Hibiki smiled. Erza grabbed onto Jellal's hand. I guess Ichiya really does freak her out.
"We should get going, we've got lots of stuff to do." I announced. I began to swim away, but then I was corner. Hibiki put a hand on the rock and stopped me from leaving.
"But Lucy dear, you should stay." Hibiki said as he reached out to touch me. I was going to smack his hand away, but Natsu got there before I did.
"She will not be staying anywhere near you." Natsu gritted out. I'm actually swooning right now.
"How Natsu, I only have a present for Lucy." Hibiki smirked. Natsu swam in front of me, he looked pissed.
"I don't like you." Natsu growled. Hibiki sighed heavily.
"I'm not too fond of you either but my present is useful." Hibiki stated. I could feel Natsu's irritation, it was getting to me. I feel so, stressed. I also feel very tense.
"What is this present you speak of?" I asked. I was kind of interested in the present. Curiosity killed the cat. Natsu turned his head and glared. I'm sorry!
"It's something useful for your big battle coming up soon." Hibiki gave me a thumbs up. Big, battle? Hold on, how does he even know my name? Is he a mind reader.
"I use archive magic if that's what you're wondering, I know everything about everyone pretty much." Hibiki stated. I nodded my head slowly. That's not creepy magic what's so ever.
"So you want to give her what?" Natsu gritted out. Natsu grabbed onto my hand, he gripped it. I didn't realize until now, but, he was afraid of something. I'm not going to leave him, so I don't know why he feels like this.
"It's a spell, for celestial mages." Eve butted in. Sounds like something I could use. Okay, I really wanted to know the spell. He said it would be useful. Can I trust them?
"Just hand her over and then were done, I just need to download it in her brain." Hibiki shrugged. I felt, anger wash over me.
"I will not just hand her over." Natsu sneered. Hibiki backed up a little.
"Okay listen, I just need her to hold her shoulders, you can even stand next to me." Hibiki laughed nervously. Natsu had a little bit of relief.
"Fine." Natsu rolled his eyes. I came out from behind Natsu. Natsu gripped onto my hand, I gripped onto my mine. Hibiki out his hands onto my shoulders.
"Will this hurt?" I asked. Hibiki laughed.
"Not at all, but your friends might want to take a step back, it's going to get bright." Eve stated. Everyone swam behind the rock and gave me a thumbs up. What great friends!
"Here we go!" Hibiki exclaimed. Eve was right, it did get bright. I felt like the sun, my whole body was glowing. Once Hibiki was done, he let go. Natsu pulled me to his side. Natsu kind of looked like he got a sun tan.
"Hibiki, you should rest." Ren stated as he grabbed onto Hibiki's arm. Hibiki smiled as he leaned onto his friend.
"The spell will come to you when you need it." Hibiki winked at me.
"Alright now it's time to say goodbye and leave on our merry way." Gray said as he pulled Juvia away from Eve.
"Oh but can't the ladies stay longer, we can sing them some songs." Eve asked. All the boy shook their heads so fast I thought they would fling off.
"Then I guess this is goodbye, for now." Ren sighed. Hibiki, Ren, and Eve all gave us a kiss on the hand. Erza had to hold the boys down to make sure they didn't attack the boys.
"I don't think were coming to the ocean anytime." Gray commented.
"Oh, when we are dry we transform, we get legs!" Eve exclaimed.
"Oh great, I have to see these nerds again." Natsu thought. Hold the front door, did I just read Natsu's mind. I did it, without even focusing on it! One for Lucy! Wait, did he just call them nerds?
"Well it's was great meeting you, don't tell Ichiya you saw me." Erza said quickly.
"Well, actually, he's here." Ren stated. After Ren said that, I got chills. I could see Erza shiver.
"Ichiya, is here?" Erza asked slowly. Ren nodded his head. The kale beast, was here with us. I looked around. He was nowhere to be seen. I could see Eve's gaze go above us. I quickly turned around and looked up.
"Kale beast!" Natsu and I said in unison. Ichiya was, shirtless. I kind of the feeling to puke. I think this feeling was coming from Natsu and I.
"Okay I really need to leave now." Erza gulped. Before she could swim off, Ichiya tackled her. It took about three people to pull him off.
"I love Erza's perfume!" Ichiya smiled. Jellal shivered as he swam next to Erza. The kale beast is surely dangerous.
"That's nice but we have to go now." I smiled. Natsu nodded as he swam behind me. The kale beast was a very touchy subject with me and Natsu.
"I'm sorry for last time, please forgive me." Ichiya bowed. Natsu and I glanced at each other. Okay, I feel a bit bad.
"We forgive you." Natsu and I stated. I wonder if Ichiya has anymore of his kale perfume, hopefully he doesn't.
"I will see you again Erza, my love." Ichiya smiled. Jellal shuddered as he picked Erza of the ground and distanced himself from Ichiya.
"We will meet again Aquarius, don't forget me." Hibiki smiled as he kissed her hand.
"Well thank you, see ya later." Aquarius smiled. And that's when we said our goodbye. Ichiya professed his undying love to Erza and that's when we left. The way back was longer than I remembered.
Maybe it was because I was blacked out. That's probably it. I glanced down to Natsu's stomach, the scratch was completely healed. I'm glad. I was really worried when I woke up. I was still holding hands with Natsu, he gripped onto my mine.
Once me made it back, it was a bit dark. I could see up on the shore light. It looks like Romeo started a fire. There on the shore was tents. I'm so glad. I know when I get up there, I'm going to get some sleep. Hopefully I won't still be a mermaid.
"Well Blondie, send me into the spirit world, I miss it there." Aquarius sighed happily. Now that were somewhat out of the water, Aquarius looks, a bit weird. She looked a bit faint.
"Aquarius our contract is made." I sighed as I grabbed her hand. Her hand, it felt so weak.
"Thank you." Aquarius said, she looked tearful.
"You're welcome." I smiled. I felt like I really did something great. I'm only a little step closer but at least I'm closer.
"Don't get us to it." Aquarius rolled her eyes. I sighed as I gave her a thumbs up.
"Close the gate of the water bearer!" I exclaimed. Aquarius looked like she was crying when light began to surround her.
"That was truly beautiful Lucy." Erza clapped. I turned around to see everyone behind me.
"Let's get some food." I sighed happily. I gripped the key in my hand. I'm going to need a pouch for these. And I know exactly where I'm going to get them. Magic pockets are truly amazing.
"So Juvia, when do we turn back?" Gajeel asked. Juvia looked nervous.
"Hopefully right now Gajeel-kun." Juvia smiled. And right then, there was many poof's of smoke.
"Wow, spot on." Gray said as he stripped off his shirt. I smiled, everything is back to normal, well kind of. We still have to go fight a witch soon.
"Hey!" Lisanna said up on the shore, she was waving her hands.
"There's food!" Bixlow called out while picking Lisanna and running over to the campfire. As soon as Bixlow said that. We all raced over to the food. Everyone was eating and talking, it was so nice.
I stuffed my key into my pocket, hopefully Aquarius doesn't get mad. Tonight was great. Gajeel sang his horrible songs. Mira sang with her lovely voice. Elfman told terrible jokes about men. Happy made some fat jokes about me.
Cana tried to get me to drink, there was no way I would be doing that any time soon. Natsu tried to get me to eat some fire, another thing that was never going to happen. Erza assigned us tents, Juvia put out the fire.
"Goodnight!" Everyone called out to each other. Natsu and I walked into the tent, I loved having legs. Natsu and I fell onto the blankets and pillows. Natsu and I stared into each other's eyes. Natsu smiled as he pulled me into his side.
"I'm also glad to have legs." Natsu laughed. I nodded as I held his hand that was slacked over my side. I was just about to fall asleep until, Happy appeared.
"Can I sleep with you guys?" Happy asked. I smiled as I pulled him into the group cuddle. Happy sat in between Natsu and I. I leaned down and kissed Happy's forehead.
"Goodnight you guys." I smiled as I gave Natsu a kiss on the cheek. Natsu smiled as he pulled me back and kissed me on the lips. I pulled back and laid down.
"I love you guys." Natsu smiled.
"I also love you both." I grinned. Happy looked at both of us.
"I really love you guys so much." Happy smiled as he curled up. Natsu blew out the fire, the tent was completely dark.
"Goodnight." We all said in unison. This day was sure eventful, more eventful days are waited for me. I smiled, everything will be okay. I closed my eyes, and fell asleep with a smile on my face.
