Hey sorry for the late update I've been caught up in school studies and I hate it. Anyway I will give you an extra-long one. Maybe...

Last time on Lion pride
I sigh and hope that I was going in the right way.
Lucy's P.O.V
Laxus and I walk towards where I smell Fairy tail's scent. I hope I am going the right way and it's killing me to know that it might not be the right way. I would have asked Laxus but he still looks mad that I told him what to do. My body felt exhausted from all the spirits coming at once. I turn and take another glance at Laxus. He glares at me with annoyance. I swing my body around and growl at him.
"Laxus what is your problem?" I huff.
"You almost got my grandfather killed" He growls.
"I saved him too" I hiss. He stomps up to me to where we are nose to nose. His fur was rising and his tail was up straight.
"Because of you he was almost killed! We have been able to lay low for years yet when you came you have brought trouble!" He yells in my face. I open my mouth to retort but I quickly close it. My mind processes what he said and now I understand that indeed his Makarov's close to death was my fault. I drop my head and nod. I grab Virgo's key to call on her. She appears with just the lion I was calling about.
"Virgo leave Makarov with Laxus" I whisper. Laxus shoots me a confused look before turning his attention to his Grandfather. I turn and start walking away from the duo. I know that if I leave they will be safe. As I'm taking my fourth step I'm stopped. I turn to see Laxus looking at me with guilt in his eyes.
"Hey I'm sorry I exploded on you it's just my Grandfather is all I have" He mutters. I look behind him and see that Makarov was awake he had a disapproving look on his face. I sigh and nod. I pad over to Makarov. He looks to be okay but he was still weak from being in the spirit world for so long.
"How are you holding up?" I ask. He look sup at me and smiles bright.
"Great since your spirit saved me. You finally unlocked your powers!" He exclaims. I nod my head in happiness. Makarov then stands up on wobbly legs. I watch as he wobbles left and right before getting the hang of walking again. He flashes his smile at me again before walking to Laxus. He nudges Laxus to somewhere else and I can hear his disappointed voice. I plop down and wait for my companions. As I'm waiting I hear a rustle behind me. I quickly jump around to the bushes behind me. My fur rose and I let out a warning growl.
"Who's there?" I growl. The rustles became louder and three lions steps out of the bushes. One was green, another yellow while the last was a light blue. They all stare at me with curiosity.
"Where's Laxus?" The green one asks. I tilt my head before pointing to where Makarov and Laxus went. They follow my paw before getting up and walking beside me. They sit down beside me I give them a look of confusion.
"Who are you guys?" I ask,
"We are Laxus's friends" the green one explains.
"The anger issued lion has friends?" I mutter. The three stifled their laughter to my comment. They turn their attention to the lions approaching after letting out loud laughter. They were still getting tears out of their eyes when Laxus approached us. Laxus pause in shock before speeding up his pace. I see a smile on his face. He stands in front of the group.
"Freed, evergreen, bickslow h-how are you guys doing?" he asks. They all reply with a smile and a 'good'. When their reunion was over we continued to fairy tail border. I can tell that it was going to be a long journey.
Natsu's P.O.V
It's been four days since the news, I'm still not doing well. I have seen everyone try to get over the loss of Lucy, they have been succeeding, and I'm the only one who hasn't. They all look up to me and I have to keep a façade just to keep the pride together. It's my duty. At the moment I'm failing at it. The only ones who know I'm not actually happy is Gray, Erza and Happy. Others have been too into their own accounts to notice my suffering. I'm actually quite happy with that. I was broke out of my musing with a voice
"Natsu we need food" Erza voice said. I turn to her and nod. I push myself up and out of my den. I blink from the surprise of the sun. I hear the voices chatting regularly. It made me mad to think that they have forgotten of her. I ignore all the happy air, walking with an air of superior. I push forward and get out to the bright sun and air. I take a whiff of it, it smelt like fresh happiness, I turn and walk towards where I smell the animals I lay low to the ground signaling that Erza and gray should go the other ways. They nod and swish off somewhere else in the tall grass. I spot my target and lock on to it. Once I was close enough I gave out a yowl of triumph and take down the deer. I swiftly kill it with a twist of the neck. Once I was done I went looking for Erza and Gray. I found them, each with their own kill, waiting for me. I give a nod and we travel to the pride. I haven't spoken since the day I pumped up the pride.
"Natsu you have to live on for her" Gray says suddenly. I stay quiet knowing that what he says will never happen. I continue forward and give no indication that I can hear him or care. He huffs and speeds up standing right in front of my face. His lip was curled in a snarl.
"Why won't you take your own words in consideration? She wouldn't want us to mope around about her death" Gray snarls. I blankly stare at him and nod before continuing to walk away. He gives a snort of annoyance but make no indication that he will get in front of me again. I walk home in silence. They speak in small tones. I try not to care but they keep speaking with each other that I can't do anything but try to listen. I only make out the word 'Lucy'. I stop listening after that one word. It was that one name that made me want to cry. One name that make me want to crawl in a hole. One name that was the love of my life. I speed up the pace not caring if they were up to my speed. I enter the cavern with my food and with huffing, puffing companions. I place my kill in the eating cave before turning and walking to my cave. I enter my cave and collapse. My tears break from its dam and overflow. I let out the broken whimpers.
Lucy's P.O.V
It's have been one week now and Makarov says he's surprised to see that we were making fast progress. He says two or three more days and we will get to fairy tail. I feel the anticipation building in my stomach to finally be home. I stare at the blue sky and hum a lullaby that my mom sang to me. Before I knew it I was letting it out of my muzzle.
"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen
"Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so
"Call up your friends, dilly, dilly
Set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly dilly,
Some to the fork
"Some to the hay, dilly dilly,
Some to thresh corn
Whilst you and I, dilly dilly,
Keep ourselves warm
"Lavender's blue, dilly dilly,
Lavender's green
When you are king, dilly dilly,
I shall be queen
"Who told you so, dilly dilly,
Who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly dilly,
That told me so."
As I sang the song the others stare at me in amazement I only continue to sing the last verse again before stopping and continuing on our journey. Makarov smiles at me and says I sing very well. I only smile at him and continuing to walk. We settle down for the night and I give a roar that would let Fairy tail I was coming if they can hear me.
Natsu's P.O.V
It's been two days since I have heard the roar of coming. It was painfully familiar but I couldn't put my paw on it. I just put it that I was thinking too much of Lucy. Today I walk out of my den on free will. I sit outside and see Gekkoka, she has been hiding from me. She would always be out running or hunting. She says that I remind her too much of her mother and it was killing her. So I just rolled with because the same went for me. She acted like her mother and always carry herself like her too. I've have seen so much Lucy in her that I was almost convince that she was Lucy. Yet she isn't and now I'm where I am. I star at Gekkoka with sadness as she runs left and right. I turn when I hear a rustle in the bushes behind me.
When I turn around I gasp out of shock.
"Nice to see you again,Natsu"
Well here it is.
