A/N: New Chapter *whoop*

Enjoy you guys

To say that Lucy was happy to be back in Magnolia was an understatement - she was glad.

She smiled as she sat at one of the tables with Levy, Wendy, Carla and Erza, the redhead was retelling the previous events of their job to the script mage.

Levy gave a small frown before turning to Lucy.

"So is Rissy-Chan alright?" Levy asked as she furrowed her brows.

Lucy nodded before twirling the straw around the now empty glass.

"Rissy-Chan is fine now but the hurt is still there" Lucy answered with a sigh.

Levy nodded before her eyes widened as she looked out if the window.

"Lu-chan, Erza...It's raining" Levy pointed out. Narrowing her eyes she spotted three figures out in the rain, the first was Juvia who was most likely the cause of the rain. While the second figures were Rissy and Lavender.

Erza turned around spotting where Levy's eyes landed and gave a small smile. She knew that Rissy liked rain, she may have mentioned it once or twice.

"Lucy, I think Rissy will be fine" Erza concluded with a nod.

Lucy nodded in agreement before smiling. The guild was like a family and with everyone together Rissy was sure to not feel alone.

The guild doors suddenly slammed open revealing a soaked Rissy holding an equally soaked Lavender in her arms, whilst Juvia thanks to her magic was perfectly dry.

"Juvia that was great...you're rain is much better than regular rain" Rissy declared before shaking around her soaked her.

Juvia gave a wide smile before taking a seat next to Erza and Wendy.

"Juvia is glad to make it rain for Rissy-Chan...For she isn't a love rival" Juvia said though only Lucy heard the last part, whilst the others remained indifferent.

Lucy shuddered slightly under Juvia's glare before turning to Lavender who was shaking herself out on the table.

"Lavender it's impolite to dry yourself out on a table" Carla scolded before folding her paws in a disgusted manner.

Lavender ceased her actions before blushing slightly.

"Sorry, Carla, I just hate when my clothes get wet" She muttered before making her way over to Rissy's lap.

Rissy grinned once more before searching around the guild. Something or someone was missing.

"Hey anyone seen Happy and my brother?" She asked with a frown. To think of she hadn't seen him all day and it was starting to worry her.

The women all shook their heads in unison, while Lucy frowned, the salmon haired man hadn't even barged into her house that morning either which for him was unusual but what surprised the blonde even more was that she found herself missing the dragon slayer's little 'visit'

"Lucy, you know where they live why don't you go over there and see if they're" Levy suggested and thus pulling the blonde from her thoughts.

Erza nodded in agreement before slamming her palms on the table thus causing Wendy and Lavender to jump, she always had a somewhat dramatic flair to her personality.

"What a great plan, Levy, we should all go!" She declared before abruptly standing up.

Levy gave a small smile before turning to Lucy; this was one trip she wasn't intending on going on-board with.

"Have fun, Lu-chan" she called before burying her face into her book once more and expertly dodging a stray barstool in the process.

The girls stood outside of Natsu and Happy's cottage. Rissy and Lavender both had identical large grin plastered across her face as they took in the surroundings, every time they visitied her brothers home they always made them 'starry eyed'

"So pretty" she muttered as she poked their letter box causing Lucy to shake her head with a soft smile, the two siblings were so alike it was almost comical. They both had their childlike innocence and toothy grins however Rissy had a dark past hidden behind hers.

Carla shook her head before walking towards the door to stand next to Wendy.

"It's too quiet, Natsu and the male cat aren't here" Carla announced causing Wendy to frown.

"But Carla where else would they be?" She asked.

Lucy shrugged before peeking through the window; the house was its usual mess on the inside.

"Maybe they went fishing" She suggested.

Rissy pouted before folding her arms, Lavender mirroring the action though she looked too cute to pout.

"And they didn't invite us" She muttered.

Erza smiled before turning to the two dragon slayers.

"Between the two of you, you can track Natsu and Happy" Erza suggested.

Both Wendy and Rissy grinned in agreement.

"Come on, Wendy, let's show what girl dragon slayers can do!" Rissy exclaimed before pulling Wendy away to follow the scent.

Lucy sighed before turning to Erza.

"I think you got her too excited..."Lucy muttered.

Carla nodded in agreement before turning to Lucy with a frown.

"She's just like her brother, that it's scary" Carla confirmed before heading after the two dragon slayers.

Erza laughed at Carla's comment before following after her. Two Natsu's didn't seem too bad to her though if they both had fights with Gray then that would be a problem.

"We should find them before Rissy causes some trouble" Erza stated causing Lucy to follow after her with a sigh.

Following Natsu's scent around Magnolia proved difficult. It was as if he were practically everywhere yet nowhere at the same time and it confused both female dragon slayers.

Rissy exhaled loudly she was getting hungry.

"Wendy you got anything?" She asked the younger girl.

Wendy shook her head before looking around the town; there was no sign of Natsu or even Happy in sight.

"No...but I think we lost the others" she added with a sigh.

Rissy pouted before continuing down the street, a familiar scent had her turning down another street until she caught the sight of salmon hair.

"Natsu!" She shouted before racing down the street. Wendy quickly followed after her, though it rpoved a challenge due to the older girl being both taller and much faster than she was.

Natsu grinned before swiftly moving out of way so Rissy wouldn't knock him over.

"Sorry...been knocking people over a lot" she muttered before turning to find Wendy beside her.

"Natsu, we've been looking for the both you since you weren't at the guild this morning" Wendy said sadly.

Natsu frowned before reaching into his bag.

"Happy and I weren't at the guild this morning because we went to get this" he explained before placing the the brown paper bag in his sister's arms.

Rissy tilted her head to the side as she eyed the bag in confusion. The bag felt heavy in her arms almost porcelain.

"What is it?" She asked with a frown.

Natsu gave an identical frown before turning to Happy.

"She didn't even open it..."He loudly whispered.

Rissy quickly caught on and opened the bag her eyes widening at the sight of the small sakura bonsai tree. It's pink leaves glistening in the afternoon sun as Rissy stared speechless at the item.

"Why did you get me this...a baby tree?" She asked with a small voice as she turned to face her brother.

He had a confused look on his face it was as if her question made no sense to him. Maybe she didn't like it. He had bought the tree to cheer her up after all, so perhaps he had chosen the wrong gift for his younger sister.

"Because you're my sister" he said with an added shrug. "And I thought it would cheer you up"

Rissy sniffed slightly causing Natsu to frown for it appeared that she hated his gift.

"If you don't like it, we'll just take it back" Natsu offered with a shrug.

Rissy shook her head before punching him lightly in the arm.

"You idiot of course I like it" She said with a grin. "I was just surprised"

Wendy smiled at Natsu, he could be real sentimental at times and it was sweet.

"Natsu it's a beautiful tree" She said smiling as the leaves ruffled in the light breeze.

Natsu nodded with a grin.

" I thought Rissy would like it, because it reminded me of her hair" Natsu declared causing Rissy to laugh.

"Hey genius, we have the same hair" Rissy pointed out with a grin.

She hugged the tree closer to her before embracing her brother and Happy. The tree had a positive aura meaning that it was healthy and that Natsu picked her a nice tree.

"And thanks for the tree" She added with a wide smile.

Natsu offered her his trademark toothy grin before turning to Wendy, somehow he felt something was missing.

"Wendy, where are the others?" He asked his head tilted to the side slightly in confusion.

"They're still looking for you...and now us" the young dragon slayer answered with a small smile.

Rissy nodded before turning to Natsu.

"But we may have lost them" She added with a frown, for now she realised that she may have walked a little too fast with Wendy.

Everything had started to fall into place for the dark haired, green eyed mage. Perhaps it was a little setback that one of his comrades was imprisoned, the other dead and one unaccounted for.

But Elijah never let others hold him back so there was no use to start now.

With a face hidden with all emotions he watched as the familiar salmon haired woman walked past with a man he now knew as her brother, a young blue haired girl and a small blue cat.

He hated watching it felt as if he was committing some sort of crime, as if he were not worthy enough to walk beside her. Though he knew deep down he couldn't but that didn't mean that he wouldn't.

Pulling the teal communication lacrima out of his pocket, he gave a small smile as an image of his familiar cyan haired teammate appeared.

It looked like his plan was coming together sooner than he thought.

So what did you think of that?

What is Elijah planning?

Will Lucy, Erza and the exceeds reunite with Rissy, Natsu and Wendy?
