Authors Note~ Hello friends! *ducks from flying objects* I'm sorry this didn't come out sooner, school has taken up most of time. But hey, I've got a four day weekend, isn't that great! That means I get to write! Anyways, enough of my blabbing, on with the story!

"Come on horse, go faster!" Happy exclaimed while pulling my hair. I was quite annoyed. No, not only annoyed, I was pissed. I have been dealing with this for about twenty minutes now. Yes, I have been counting.

I was trying so hard not freak out. I wanted to scream! Calm down Lucy, be nice to the cat. I've been trying to be nice and all. How's it working out for me you ask? Quite good. But inside my head I'm just so mean.

"Lucy, stop, you're too funny." Natsu chuckled as he grabbed onto his sides. I snapped my head to the right. I sent a glare his way. My pain is no one's humor! I guess I was wrong though. Natsu was laughing even more now that I made that comment.

"I really can never get enough of you." Natsu's chuckles subsided. Natsu Dragneel always finds some way to make me blush. Damn him! No don't damn him! I hate contradicting myself.

"Lucy." Happy called. I shook my head from my stupid thoughts. I looked up to Happy, well I tried to.

"What is it Happy?" I asked. Happy has such a serious face on right now. Did he have something important to say? Did Happy know anything about the witch?! No, I doubt he would.

"I thought you could move faster." Happy sneered. That was it. No more nice Lucy!

"That's it!" I hissed I shot my arms up to grab him. Happy moved way faster than I anticipated. Happy flew above me, sticking his tongue out.

"Not this time Lucy!" Happy giggled. I stopped walking. Natsu bumped into me, I just stood there. Happy shivered when I began to glare. Happy flew behind us towards Romeo and Wendy. Natsu nudged me a little, and that's when I began walking.

"I didn't think you could be so scary." A voice chuckled behind me. I quickly grabbed onto Natsu's hand. I shoved my other hand into my pocket, pulling out a weapon. I don't know what made me do this, I just wanted to be prepared. I turned around to see the one and only Lyon.

"I didn't realize you could get even scarier." Lyon laughed nervously with hands up. I sighed as I let go of Natsu's hand. Natsu stared at me with a curious look. Lyon laughed as he took a hand and pushed my 'weapon' down.

I looked down to my weapon of choice, you could guess what it was. I groaned allowed. What if I was in real battle! A fricken spatula is so not going to save anyone. Instead of dropping the spatula, I just held onto it.

"Sorry about that, what do you need?" I asked. Lyon, Natsu, and I began to walk at a steady pace. So we were basically in the middle of the group. Lyon shoved his hands in his pocket, he looked away. I could have sworn I saw a blush.

Natsu and I looked at each other with eyebrows raised. At the same time we looked back at Lyon, he was blushing! Why was he blushing? Was he embarrassed by something? Did him and Gray get into a fight?

"I wanted to tell you, I'm thankful for your advice." Lyon rushed out. A smile grew onto my face.

"I'm glad to help." I gave Lyon a thumbs up. Lyon smiled, he was blushing again. I turned to Natsu, he was giving me some sort of look. Natsu quickly grabbed onto my arm, switching spots with me.

So now Natsu was in the middle standing next to Lyon. Natsu smiled and let out a sigh of relief. Hmm, Natsu's acting pretty weird, and so is Lyon. Lyon glanced over to me, but not for too long. Natsu gave him a huge painful smile.

"Wha'cha thinking about Lyon?" Natsu asked. Lyon's blush grew. What was he thinking about? Looks like Natsu and I are curious about the same thing. Actually, I feel some sort of weird vibe coming from Natsu. What is that? Irritation?

"Be happy. It's a way of being wise," Lyon stated. "That's something my real mother told me." The feeling of irritation was now gone. It was replaced with, sympathy.

"Do you think that's true?" Lyon asked. Natsu and I smiled. I think that's some pretty good advice if you ask me. Be happy. It's a way of being wise. I like that.

"I don't know how being a flying blue cat will make you be wise though." Natsu chuckled. My smile vanished. I was about to whack Natsu, but then Lyon began to laugh. I let my hand fall down to my side.

"I think your mother was pretty wise for saying that." I giggled. Lyon's laugh grew louder. I wonder? what was making him laugh so much?

"I thought she was too, she was also pretty funny as well." Lyon said as he wiped a tear from his eye.

"How was she funny?" I asked. I love hearing about other people's parents. It fills my heart with warmth. Seeing other people laughing and happy, makes me so happy. Just when Lyon was about to answer us, someone joined in.

"She got that saying from a fortune cookie, it was her new motto." Gray laughed. Gray and Juvia joined us. I could see Juvia looking a bit worried at Lyon. Juvia then started to smile.

"Oi! Fortune cookies are amazing and you know it." Natsu commented. Gray and Natsu butted heads, I haven't seen them fight in a while. Well sometimes it's amusing.

"I never said anything bad about them did I?" Gray growled. Natsu growled back. Just when Natsu and Gray were about to throw down, we heard a loud crashing sound. Natsu and Gray snapped their heads towards me.

"It came from that way." Erza stated as she turned me around. I could see some sort of light coming from that way. The light then vanished, everything was normal now. I glanced back to Natsu to see Gajeel standing next to him.

"What the hell was that?" Romeo gasped as he caught up with everyone. Wendy was right behind him. Natsu began to sniff the air, Gajeel even joined in with him.

"Oh no, it's them." Natsu groaned. Wait... what?

"Who is them?" I asked. Natsu and Gajeel glanced over to each other. Will someone please tell me what's going on right now?!

"Those little shits, always fucking with me when I was on missions." Gajeel hissed. Ok, I've had enough. I was about to tear my hair out in frustration. I hate not knowing about something. I dropped my spatula and walked over to Natsu. I started to shake him.

"Who is them?" I asked. Natsu sighed as he glanced at me. Thankfully Natsu gave me a reply.

"Our distant cousins." Natsu sighed heavily. Wait, there's more of them?! I opened my mouth to say something, but then another crash was heard. It was closer towards us. I turned around to see someone laying on the ground.

The guy looked about our age. He had black, kind of longish hair. It covered one of his eyes. He looked like he was fighting someone, his clothes were a bit tattered up. The guy looked up at us with crimson eyes.

Without thinking, I walked over to him. Natsu followed me quickly. I leaned down, he scrunched his eyes closed. Did he think I was going to hit him? I giggled as I flicked him in the forehead. Natsu eyed me closely.

"Natsu-san?" The boy uttered looking up Natsu. The black haired boy looked back to me. He squinted at me, like I was some foreign thing. He began to reach out towards me, then Natsu swatted his hand out at him.

"I wouldn't do that Rouge." Natsu grinned. Natsu wasn't smiling his usual smile, it seemed forced. Rouge looked up at me and blushed. What? Why was everyone blushing today?! I could hear someone chuckling ahead of me.

I looked up to see some standing in front of us. He was the total opposite of Rouge. He was blonde. He wore some weird fur coat thing. His outfit was a bit, ridiculous. I've worn worse though so I'm not judging!

"Hello Sting." Gajeel hissed. Sting let out a bright smile. Two cats ran out from behind him. One was in a frog suit. Another was dressed normally. Well, dressed as normal as you can for a cat I guess. The frog one came closer to us.

"Rouge!" The green cat exclaimed. The cat jumped in front of us. Was he or she protecting Rouge? Rouge chuckled as he petted the green cat on the head.

"It's okay Fro, they won't hurt me." Rouge laughed nervously. Natsu was glaring at him. I nudged Natsu a little, he stopped. Fro looked up at me. All that I'm thinking about now is, there's now more cats!

"You're pretty." Fro announced. A smile broke out onto my face. This cat is so nice. I picked up the cat and began to hug her, or him? Rouge's face was now as red as Erza's hair.

"You're the nicest cat so far!" I exclaimed. Everyone just stared at me, in shock. Except Natsu and Happy. They seemed, a bit mad. Happy stomped over to me and gave me a adorable look.

"You like me better right Luce?" Happy asked. I glanced back to Fro to see him, or her blushing. I looked down to Rouge to see him looking like he was going to faint. I quickly put down the green cat and patted his or her head.

I turned to Happy. Happy looked so, sad. I just wanted to squeeze him. I pursed my lips out and grabbed him. I squeezed him to my chest tightly. I heard Happy let out a squeal. How could he say that, does he think I'm some sort of monster?! Probably.

"Happy, there is no other cat like you." I sighed happily as I pulled back. Happy started to cry now. Oh gosh, did I say something wrong? I looked up to Natsu to see him covering his face with his hands.

"Natsu?" I called to him. Natsu lifted his head up, his face was as pink as his hair.

"D-Don't look!" Natsu exclaimed. I turned back to see half the group laughing, and the other half in tears. Come on people, seriously?! What did I do!?

"I agree with Fro, she is a beauty." Sting announced. I was a bit shocked. I only like hearing that from Natsu and cats. Well, I love compliments a lot actually. But hearing it from Sting, I didn't like hearing it.

"I don't think we need your comment, Sting," Natsu stated. Sting pouted. He was like a kid. Rouge finally decided to somewhat get off the ground. Rouge sat onto his butt staring at all of us. Rouge and Sting look like, they could be twins.

"But I'm just stating the obvious Natsu-san." Sting shrugged. I rolled my eyes and decided to get up. Natsu followed. I leaned towards Rouge and shot out a hand. Natsu grumbled a little, I told him internally I'm just helping him up.

"I shouldn't touch you." Rouge shifted back. Rouge's face scrunched up in pain. Sting must have really put a number on him. What? Did I have a disease I'm not aware of? Then it clicked. I turned to Natsu, who was laughing.

"Just let me help you up." I hissed. Rouge nodded his head quickly. He reached out and took my hand. Rouge tried to gain his balance but didn't. I felt a large hand grab onto the back of my shoulder.

"I'll help this dork bunny girl." Gajeel grinned. I almost didn't want to, that would mean I lose to Gajeel. But I knew if I touched Rouge any longer, Natsu would destroy something. Rouge smiled as he leaned onto Gajeel.

"Gajeel-san." Rouge whispered. Gajeel squinted at him with a frown on his face.

"Oi kid! Don't look at me like I'm your older brother or something." Gajeel hissed. Rouge laughed and glanced down. There was Levy, staring up at Rouge. Gajeel was now beginning to growl.

"Unless you want to get dropped on your ass, I wouldn't stare at other peoples women." Gajeel cackled. Rouge looked away from Levy. Rouge just stared down at the ground. I turned back to only have Natsu standing in front of me.

I glanced over his shoulder to see Sting standing in front of Natsu. Oh come on. What the heck was going on? I stepped out from behind Natsu, or at least I tried. Natsu looked like he was going to snap at someone at any second.

"Why don't we have a little round of fighting, just like old times." Sting grinned. Natsu no longer looked pissed, he looked happy. Natsu cracked his knuckles.

"I always win." Natsu smirked. Sting shrugged. Sting took a step closer to Natsu.

"I think we should have a prize when we win though." Sting whispered. I heard him though. I turned back to see Erza now behind me. Erza leaned down next to my ear.

"Things are getting good." Erza whispered. I heard a hmm from Jellal, who was now on the other side of me. Gray looked like he wanted to jump in, but Lyon and Juvia held him back. Gajeel was itching to get into a fight.

Gajeel would probably get into this fight, but he was too bust taking care of Rouge. Levy would probably whack him if he even tried. Wendy and Romeo hid behind Laxus and Mira, who were smiling.

"And what exactly kind of prize would that be?" Natsu asked. I was kind of interested in this prize too. Would it be food? I'm kind of hungry right now. I looked down to see the other cat smirking at me. Is this an evil cat.

"Hmm, Lector, what should the prize be?" Sting stated. The cat, Lector was still looking at me. I began to glare back. Was this cat having a stare off with me or something? My focus was once on the cat, but now it's on something else.

I felt something in the pit of my stomach. I felt really, disgusted. I wanted to punch something. Where do these weird sudden urges come from?! I looked back down to the cat, he was still looking at me. Was I that interesting?

"Her Sting-kun." Lector announced. I stopped staring at Lector. I looked around. Who? I saw everyone staring at me. My eyes widened. I looked back down to the cat. He was pointing at me. I didn't really know what to do, so I just began to laugh. I stopped laughing when no one was laughing along with me.

"Hold on a second, me?" I laughed nervously. Lector nodded. My mouth went dry. Now I understand why Natsu was protecting me. This was some weird stuff that I don't really understand.

"I'm not a prize!" I snorted. Sting hummed as he shook his head.

"You're quite a big catch Blondie." Sting leaned in. Natsu growled. Sting leaned back, glaring at him.

"If you say you always win, then why don't we see if your worthy." Sting snorted. Hold on a second, were they fighting over me. They were. I feel, so pissed off. Except it was from me this time. I'm not an item. You don't just give me away.

Natsu was about to say something until I did something incredibly stupid. I scooted to the side past Jellal and Natsu. I stood in front of Natsu. Natsu was about to move me, until I glared at him. He kind of backed off, he was totally mad at me right now.

"Oh, so Blondie wants to come with me?" Sting smirked while leaning in. I tried to give the best glare I could. Sting leaned back.

"I'm not an item, and there is no way in hell you two are going to try and win me like I'm a prize." I hissed out. Natsu looked a bit surprised. Sting's smile widened.

"I like them feisty." Sting chuckled. Oh that was it.

"Fight me then." I stated. I heard at least three people gasp behind me. Sting looked taken back.

"And why should I?" Sting asked. Well, I certainly do want to punch him in the face. That was one reason. The second reason was because like I said before. I'm not an item, I can fight for myself.

"If you win, then you get me." I stated. Oh god, bad idea Lucy. Why do these words come tumbling out of my mouth?! Natsu was now growling. It was towards me.

"Fine, I'll give you two minutes." Sting shrugged. I turned around to see everyone shocked. Natsu knocked foreheads with me.

"Why did you do that?!" Natsu hissed out. I smiled.

"Because I'm an idiot." I sighed heavily. Natsu gave me that stupid look. He looked so damn worried. I can't lose. I have to win.

"What? You don't believe I can win?" I growled. Natsu just stared at me. Oh now I'm pissed. I can do it, I can! Right? Oh now I'm doubting myself.

"I'm just worried, I know what Sting is cable of." Natsu sneered. I glanced back to Sting, he was speaking with Lector. Sting looked like a good guy, I didn't know he was incredibly evil!

"Well, then you don't know what I'm cable of." I smirked. Natsu opened his mouth, but then shut it. Honestly, that just came out of my mouth. I was frightened. I turned around but then glanced back. Erza gave me a thumbs up.

"Remember the training." Erza mouthed to me. I smiled, that's right. I had a wonderful swordsmen as my teacher. I also have magic on my side, I can do this.

"You ready soon to be mine?" Sting called to me. I turned to face him. I gave him a huge smile.

"Ready when you are kid." I announced. Sting, lunged at me. He lunged at me! I tossed myself to the side. There was no way I could block that with my bare hands. I'm not Natsu! Wait, that's right! I'm Lucy Heartphilla!

I reached my hand into my left pocket while my keys were in the right. Please oh please do not be a spatula. A sword! A fricken sword would be nice. Sting punched the ground next to me, I rolled away each time.

Sting looked like he was going to make a punch to my face, until I pulled out my weapon. Sting pulled back, holding his hand tightly to his chest. I quickly stood up, looking at my weapon of choice. What, what the hell was I holding?!

"Lucy's a man!" Elfman shouted out. I smiled. I'm not a man but that was Elfman's way of encourging me.

"Is that, a whip?" Sting asked. I looked down to the whip, I guess it was. I asked for a sword! What the hell was this?! Okay Lucy, just make do with what you have.

"Um, I guess it is!" I announced. Sting laughed. Sting's hands began to glow bright, this was the light from earlier. I gulped. He was a tough opponent.

"Ah, magic is always so helpful." Sting laughed. Sting lunged at me again. I've never used a whip before, I guess I might as well learn now! I shifted to the side, I flung my whip at his hand. It wrapped around his wrist.

I took a lot of my strength but I tossed him over to the left. My whip went with him though. I heard a few shouts from Gajeel. Even though I felt like I had won, I know I didn't. Sting got up from the ground, he looked pissed. Sting snapped my whip in half.

"You're too cute." Sting hissed. Sting's hands grew brighter. He brought them together, oh this was so not good. Think Lucy, think! Sting shot his magic at me. He yelled something, something I didn't quite catch.

"Move!" Natsu yelled. I was, somewhat frozen. Everything was like in slow motion. I put my hand into my left pocket, please be what I need. Please! I shot my hand out in front of me. I pulled out, a mirror.

It was somewhat like a hand mirror. The blast of light hit the mirror with quite a lot of force. It shot me back a little, but I only took half the damage. My back smacked into a tree. Oh my god, that was too painful.

Sting smirked as the light went towards him. Sting opened his mouth, he ate his own magic. I remember Natsu saying that eating his own magic was disgusting. Sting just ate it. I wanted to puke watching him.

"Nasty." Sting announced.

I knew he was going to strike back any second now, but I couldn't move. I was in a lot of pain for some reason. Actually, I knew why I was in pain, I think a tree branch punctured something. It wasn't even that deep, but it still hurt like hell.

Calm down Lucy, pain is something you only feel for a little while. Or a day, or for like a year! No, it will subside. Just, focus! I dropped the hand mirror. I put two hands on the tree behind me, I pushed myself forward.

"Ah!" I cried out. I looked behind me, it was a somewhat small tree branch. I'll be okay. I have Wendy, she can heal me after the battle. Sting glanced over to me, his smile grew wider.

"Looks like I'm going to win this one." Sting sighed happily. What a little, ugh! I glanced over to Natsu, he was staring at me. He looked so damned worried. Damn it. I can't call Aquarius, she needs water to be called. Cancer, I don't think he can beat Sting.

"I might as well use my finishing move, it will hurt, it won't kill you though." Sting announced. Sting's arms, they began to grow scales. They were white, they even appeared on his face. I glanced over to Rouge, his eyes were wide.

"I told you to never use that without me!" Rouge screamed. Sting shrugged him off. Oh god, I'm really out of my element here. I'm screwed. I fell to my knees, Sting grew brighter. I don't want to lose. I can't.

"You'll know when you need it." Hibiki stated. My eyes widened. Hibiki was right! I know now. I know what to do! I really need to thank that pretty boy later! Sting smirked, he thinks he's won.

"You give up yet?" Sting asked. I closed my eyes, just focus Lucy. Let the spell come to you. I opened my eyes again, Sting was charging up magic. I gulped hard. You can do it, I know you can!

I snapped my head towards Natsu, he was looking at me. Those words of encouragement, they reached me. I could feel the spell coming to my mind. The words were now clear. I guess Hibiki was right.

"Survey the Heavens, Open the Heavens... All the stars, far and wide.. Show me thy appearance... with such shine." I whispered. Sting looked like he tried to focus more on what I said then his magic.

"What did you say Blondie?" Sting called. Ignore him, just ignore him.

"Oh Tertrabiblos... I am the ruler of the stars... Aspect become complete... Open thy malevolent gate." I said louder. My voice didn't really sound like my own. I opened my eyes. It was bright, I could tell there was something up with my eyes.My arms were extended out, I felt like I was in a trance.

I could see Sting about to attack me. He was a bit distracted by the colorful spheres in the sky. I felt like they were bestowing their power on me. I was doing all of this, without even knowing it. There was so much around me, I knew the spell was almost over.

"Oh 88 Stars of the heaven... Shine!" I cried out.

"You asked for this Blondie!" Sting announced. Sting released a huge amount of white light from his hand. I couldn't even imagine what it would be like if Sting and Rouge did a unison raid.

"Urano Metria!"

Sting's attack and mine collided. It was too bright. I could see everything though. Finally when things began to go back to normal. I turned my head to the rest of the group, they were all blown back.

I quickly got up and rushed over to the group. What the heck happened?! Did I kill everyone. OH my god! Oh god someone please be alive. I felt so much adrenaline, I guess that's how I'm even standing right now.

"That was, beautiful." Erza announced as she lifted herself up. Oh thank god. Everyone began to groan and get up. I feel a little bit bad for Rouge. He was already beat up. Natsu, where was Natsu?!

"Natsu?" I called out. I felt someone grab my ankle. I looked down to see him grinning at me. I smiled back. I was going to say something. I felt someone grab my shoulder. I turned around getting into some weird fighting stance.

"You win." Sting coughed. Sting looked just as bad as me. His and my hair was all ruffled up. I know I had a couple bruises here and there. Speaking about wounds, the one in my back still hurt. Oh god, why did I have to notice it.

"Idiot." Rouge groaned as he pointed to Sting. Sting laughed while falling down on his twin. Rouge laughed as he patted his poor brothers back. I really did a number on him, he did a number on me as well.

"I know, just comfort me brother!" Sting exclaimed into Rouges shoulder. I laughed. When I was younger, I always wanted a sister. I thought it would have been fun to have a sister. I would have even liked a brother, but that never happened. I'm an only child.

"I think we should go to the bar now, am I right?!" Cana said with such excitement. I was shocked. I haven't even heard a peep come from Cana. I know why now though. Cana fell asleep half way here on the walk. Elfman had to carry her the whole way here.

"Can we come with to help you guys?" Rouge and Sting said in unison. I was a bit shocked. I'm glad Sting and I could become friends after that rough fight. I think the affects are coming in right now.

"No." Gajeel and Natsu said in unison. Natsu was now standing next to me. Gajeel and Levy stood on the other side of me. In unison Levy and I whacked our idiots in the shoulder.

"Of course you can." I gave them a thumbs up. Rouge and Sting looked like they were kids getting some candy.

"I don't see why you need them, you have me." Natsu whined. I flicked him gently on the nose.

"Don't be like that, more the merrier." I smiled. Sting and Rouge then clung to my legs. I squealed. Thank god I wasn't wearing a dress or even a skirt.

"Thank you!" They cried. I opened my mouth, only to close it. I felt, woozy. I turned to a grumpy Natsu. I grabbed his shoulder to get his attention.

"I'm falling." I announced. Natsu gave me a quizzical look. I wanted to whack him, but I didn't have the strength. Rouge and Sting were not helping either right now.

"But you're standing." Natsu stated. I glared at him, idiot! I couldn't keep my eyes open. I think this is what you call fainting.

"Shit!" Natsu hissed. I fell back, only to be cached. I was still awake, but very weak. Maybe I could rest, just a little. Everything went black, It was kind of peaceful.

Awhile later.

"Lucy." Natsu's voice reached me. Nope, I wanted to sleep awhile longer. I was just going to ignore him. Until I felt someone poking my nose. Who was that? Why were they even doing that?!

"She's cute when she's sleeping." A voice said. It wasn't a voice I recognized. I heard Sting and Rouge hum along with the person who said it.

"Don't make comments like that cow!" Natsu hissed. I could hear some object crashing. What was going on? This had to be a dream.

"Lucy-san should be awake by now, I healed her the best I could." Wendy stated. She sounded worried.

"I say she's fake sleeping." Jellal laughed. Well Jellal, you always seem to find me out don't you?

"Her body is so amazing even in those lame clothes." The voice said again. I heard a smack. Ooo, sounded like a hard one.

"The cow really needs to shut up now." Natsu growled. Okay, was there a talking cow I wasn't aware of? Hold on, I meant a perverted cow. This was a dream, right? Talking cows don't exist. I opened my eyes. Natsu was staring down at me. I was laying on something hard.

I leaned up, only to bonk heads with Natsu. After our heads collided mine hit what I think was a bench. I was now squinting. I felt someone take my head and rest it on their lap. I smelt, booze.

"Hello darling Lucy, I see you've woken up from your beauty sleep." Cana smiled. She was drunk, so drunk. I didn't like the super drunk Cana, she got way more perverted like this. Cana reached out and grabbed my breasts. My eyes widened.

"Has Natsu grabbed these puppies yet?" Cana giggled. I sucked in a huge amount of air. I was quickly pulled on by my legs and now pushed into someone's chest.

"Don't touch." Natsu growled. I sighed with relief. I was saved. Thank god. Or should I thank Natsu?

"Ah man, you're lucky Cana." That voice said. I could feel Natsu's arms around me tighten. I glanced back, to see, TAURUS?! Here he was. I looked around the place, it was the bar. I guess I didn't have to walk, thank god. What? I'm lazy.

"Taurus?" I questioned. Taurus looked over to me with a huge smile. He looked a bit weak. Now that I think about it. Aquarius and Cancer looked like this as well. I didn't really notice until now. I really need to focus more often!

"Lucy!" Taurus exclaimed. Taurus came over to Natsu and I. He wrapped his arms around us and squeezed. Natsu looked like he was going to destroy Taurus. I just laughed. This was too funny.

"I recommended you let go us right now." Natsu growled. Taurus just hugged us tighter. Well, I guess Taurus isn't much of a listener.

"It seems like Taurus has already taken a liking to Lucy." Cana giggled. Taurus hummed a yes. Natsu pit a fire ball into his face and that's when Taurus let go.

"She's mine." Natsu growled out. Taurus pouted.

"Lucy!" Erza's voice boomed. I quickly looked up. She was smiling. Oh thank god. I didn't get in trouble.

"Elfman, Evergreen, and Freed need to report back to the guild, they will join us later." Erza stated. I nodded. Well I wanted to get to know them all a little better. But I'll have time later.

"Rouge, Sting, and Lyon will be traveling with us from now on." Gajeel grunted. I glanced back to Rouge and Sting. They were sitting down with all the cats around them. Happy and Fro seemed to be getting along nicely. I'm still not sure if Fro is a girl or boy.

"Rouge and Sting said they know a girl with two of the golden keys." Juvia sighed. Hold up, I thought the keys were scattered out. I didn't think anyone else would have them.

"That's going to be troublesome." Gray sighed heavily. This was going to be a problem. But, I'll find a way around it.

"Rouge, Sting, tell me more about that girl." I called over my shoulder. Rouge and Sting came rushing over to us. Natsu's arms tighten again. I just ignored it.

"Do you think she will help us?" I asked. Rouge and Sting glanced at each other.

"Kagura might not let her." Sting growled slightly. Kagura? Hmm. Doesn't ring a bell.

"Who is Kagura?" I asked. Rouge blushed. Sting began to laugh.

"It's Rouge's girlfriend." Sting teased. Rouge glared at him.

"She's a swordsmen like Erza kind of, she's tough." Rouge stated. I nodded. I smiled. Kagura couldn't be that tough, right? I'm sure I can get through to her.

"Yukino is also a celestial wizard, she's kind of disconnected from the world at times." Sting sighed. Great, both of them seem like they are going to be tough to deal with. I'm wasting so much time!

It's fine, I can do this. No. I need to do this. I will bring Yukino out from her darkness, no matter how hard it is. I stared at Natsu who was smiling at me. I turned around so I was no sitting in his lap. He wasn't giving me much a choice right now.

"It's fine, we will go to her next. You know where she is right?" I asked. Rouge and Sting nodded. I sighed with relief. Thank god. I know we have the map, but she could move around and that would be a problem.

"Alright, in the morning we will head towards Yukino." I smiled. Rouge and Sting gave each other a look. What a second, what's going on?

"She's a bit cold, after her sister vanished." Sting stated.

"Maybe after this whole thing I can help her look for her sister." I grinned. A smile was brought up to their face.

"What was her name." I asked. Sting looked like he could answer this one.

"Her sister liked to go by the name Angel." Sting stated. My smile vanished. Hold up. Angel? I really hope we're not talking about the same person. I looked over to my right to see Gray and Lyon coughing from the water that went down the wrong pipe.

"Hmm, does she have whitish looking hair?" I asked. Sting and Rouge nodded. It was like someone shot an arrow into my stomach. Damn. I was screwed. Angel will never forgive me. Yukino will surely hate me forever.

"I might have some bad history with her." I groaned. Sting let out a hiss.

"We'll just tell her everything that happened, Yukino will understand... right?" I questioned. I was pretty nervous. I really needed Yukino's help.

"She might, she's in a weird state right now." Sting growled. I covered my face with my hands. Natsu behind me began to rub my back slightly. That made me feel a little bit better.

"I say we just take the keys from her!" Cana giggled. I shook my head. I didn't want to do things like that. I wanted her to willingly help me.

"I won't give up on her, she is needed for sure!" I exclaimed. I had a weird feeling. It wasn't bad. It was that feeling when your excited but a little scared.

"I'm sure we can get through to her!" Natsu grinned. Sting and Rouge's smiles returned.

"Alright, lets party!" Cana exclaimed. Everyone in the bar began to cheer, even Taurus. I turned to him, I kind of forgot he was there for a bit.

"I have one question for you Taurus." I stated. Taurus looked down to me.

"What is it?" He asked. I was a bit confused why he was even here. What has he been doing all this time? Questions like that.

"Why did you stay at a bar?" I asked. Taurus smiled at my question.

"Because the people here, they helped me and I helped them." Taurus stated. I nodded my head slowly.

"That's very nice of you Taurus." I gave him a thumbs up. Taurus looked like he was going to cry.

"So Taurus, let's make a contract" I said as I extended my hand out. Taurus grabbed it immediately.

"I've been waiting for a very long time." Taurus grinned. Taurus then waved to the people at the bar. They all waved back.

"See you all later!" Taurus cried out. Taurus then shimmered away to the spirit world. I wanted to cry as well, he made a home here. I will definitely visit this place again.

"So Lucy, do you want to 'party' or go cuddle in the campsite we made outside?" Natsu asked. Hmm, I was a bit tired. Partying wasn't really my thing anyways. Natsu suddenly got up and carried me bridal style.

"Wait!" I stated. Natsu stopped walking.

"Rouge, come here." I called over to him. Rouge quickly came over to us.

"Did you need something?" Rouge asked. I nodded my head.

"Is Fro a girl or a boy?" I asked. Rouge looked taken back. Rouge leaned in.

"I'm not even sure about that." Rouge whispered. I nodded my head. Rouge went back to Sting. Well, that is a question that will never be answered I guess!

"Goodnight!" Everyone called. I smiled as I waved to them.

"Goodnight!" I exclaimed. Natsu yelled back a goodnight as well. As Natsu walked out the door, I was hit by a bright light. I looked up to see the sign for the bar, it read:

The Bull!

I smiled as Natsu walked a little further out into the forest. Our campsite must be around he somewhere. I shifted a little in Natsu's arms. Ah, we were finally alone. I glanced up to see him smiling at me.

"So Lucy, about what Cana said." Natsu winked at me. Wait a second, what? I have him a glare. I'm, I'm surrounded by perverts?!

"I'm not a pervert." Natsu pouted. I gave him a bright smile.

"Sure you aren't." I winked. Natsu growled a little.

"You're pushing you're luck Blondie." Natsu winked.

"I don't think so Pinky." I winked back. Natsu seemed to walk a little faster now. It looks like we reached the tents. Natsu opened our tent and basically threw me onto the makeshift bed. Natsu zipped up the zipper and turned around to face me.

"I see you planned this?" I asked. Natsu nodded his head.

"I gave them the idea of partying." Natsu grinned. I see, so Natsu is not as dumb as he plays to be. Natsu crawled over towards me. Natsu was now hovering over me.

"I thought that was incredibly stupid what you did earlier." Natsu growled. I shrugged.

"Hey, we are both idiots at times." I smiled. Natsu didn't smile though. Natsu let his head fall down onto my shoulder.

"I wanted to jump in and help you, but ERZA wouldn't let me." Natsu growled. I lifted my right hand up and began to pet Natsu's head.

"What if Sting hurt you badly?" Natsu asked. I pulled on his hair this time.

"No, that wouldn't have happened." I reassured him. Natsu pulled his head up.

"I can't lose you, I need you Luce." Natsu said in a hoarse tone. I lifted up my arms and wrapped them around him.

"I will never leave you, that means you can never leave me as well." I giggled. Natsu rolled his eyes.

"Goodnight." Natsu quickly said. Wait, no! He can't sleep on me the whole night!

"Natsu." I whined. Natsu hummed. I sighed heavily. Well, I guess it doesn't matter.

"I win." Natsu chuckled lightly. I growled a little. How dare him! Ugh, Natsu Dragneel is such a dork.

"So is Lucy Heartphilla." Natsu smiled. I laid my head back. He wins. I admit defeat. Today was kind of a good day. It was a very adventurous day too. I even learned a new spell, made some new friends.

"Go to sleep Luce." Natsu mumbled. I groaned slightly. I was exhausted. I leaned my head up and kissed the top Natsu's head. Natsu quickly lifted his head and kissed my lips. Natsu pulled back giving me a sweet smile.

"Goodnight Lucy." Natsu grinned. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back.

"Goodnight Natsu." I sang. Natsu let his head fall onto my chest. My mind still wandered. Yukino, oh please help me out. I took a deep breath. I let it out. Everything will be okay, tomorrow will be a good day.

Yukino, watch out because I'm coming towards you! And with that last thought, I slipped right into dreamland.

Yukino's Location.

"Ugh man, either I'm coming down with a cold or someone's talking about me." Yukino sneezed.
