"Come on, show me what ya got!" Natsu said.

I looked down at my hands. "But I don't think I can fight yet."

"Come on." Natsu said. "You're a Dragon Slayer right?"

I nodded. "What should I do?"

"I don't know. Show me something." Natsu said.

"Um, Natsu?" Lucy said. "How about I train with Alex?"

Natsu nodded. "Fine. But I'm expecting a fight." He said with a smile. "Come on, Happy!" He called as he turned around and started running.

"Aye sir!" Happy said with a smile as he flew after Natsu.

I sighed in relief and looked up at Lucy. "Thanks."

"No problem. Let's go somewhere where it's a little quieter." She said. "Where's Jade anyway?"

I shrugged. "Either fishing, swimming, or flying." I said as I looked around. "And where is quiet?"

"Over there." Lucy pointed to a smaller spot of land a little ways off shore.

I nodded. "Looks pretty peaceful."

Lucy nodded. "You don't get many chances at peace and quiet with this guild."

I nodded with a small smile. "I noticed."

"Let's go. You don't mind swimming, do you?" Lucy asked as she pulled her hair up out of her face.

I shook my head and took off my thick clothes so all I had on was my pants, and a gray shirt. "Perfectly fine by me."

Lucy nodded. "Okay. Let's go." She said and dove into the water.

I didn't realize we were on a cliff of sorts and the water was deep right below us. I jumped down after Lucy came to the surface again with a smile.

"So, what kind of magic do you use again?" Lucy asked once we got into the island.

"Shadow Dragon Slayer." I said.

"Oh yeah. I remember." Lucy nodded. "What kind of spells can you do? Some type of roar I'm guessing?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Can you show me?" Lucy sat down in the sand and stretched out.

"Um, sure." I said. I was more comfortable with Lucy then hyper Natsu. It might be because Lucy isn't asking me to fight her. I looked around and "ate" the shadow of a nearby palm tree. "Shadow Dragon, Roar!" I yelled. I looked at the tree and saw its leaves were all shriveled up and the bark peeling off. Dang it.

"Whoa. Is it supposed to do that?" Lucy asked.

No. No it wasn't. "Yeah." I lied. I was so used to the Dark Magic that now it's effecting every other spell I do. Just great.

"That's pretty awesome." Lucy smiled. "Can you do anything else like that?"

"Um... no..." I said. I could. Just didn't want to.

"Okay. I can see why you don't really like to battle your friends. That would hurt even Natsu." She smiled.

"You really think so?" I smiled.

Lucy nodded. "Yeah." I smiled and sat down beside Lucy as she started to train with Capricorn. I moved out of the way as Capricorn instructed and did my best to listen from where I was. All in all the day was fun.

Then, one of Lucy's Celestial Spirits showed up.

We were all gathered, ready for the end of the day. When a serious voice came from behind everyone. "Princess. We need you and your friends urgently." It was Virgo.

"What do ya need?" Lucy turned around.

"The Celestial World is falling apart." Virgo said.

"What? How can we help?" Lucy asked.

"I need you to come with me." Virgo said.

"To the Celestial World? I thought humans couldn't go without dying."

"There is one way. You need to wear clothes from the Celestial World."

"That simple?" I asked.

"Apparently." Lucy said.

"Let's go!" Natsu said.

"Okay." Virgo said then I was surrounded by a bright light.

I closed my eyes and waited until it goes away. I looked down at myself to see my clothes have changed into a blue dress with glittery yellow lining. Not my style, but I can live with it.

"Look at this place!" I heard Jade gasp beside me. I looked at her to see she was in a shiny green dress with golden flower designs. It fit her style.

"Welcome to the Celestial World." Someone said behind me. "You're Loki, right?" I asked as I turned to look at him.

"You said the Celestial World was falling apart." Jade said. "It looks just fine to me."

"Well, I lied." Virgo said.

"What?" Lucy said. "Then why are we here?"

"To welcome you and your friends back." Said a huge voice.

"Big mustache!" Happy said and Natsu started giggling.

I rolled my eyes at them. The huge floating guy with a a big mustache, as Happy pointed out, said a few things, then everyone started talking at once. I covered my ears and went to a corner. Apparently a party just started. I wasn't a party person.

"puu-puun" I looked beside me to see a Plue like creature. I picked him up and smiled slightly. She looked really cute. She had a pink bow on her head and a light skin color. I hung out with the other spirits for the rest of the party. Which had delicious food and a whole bunch of talking.
