Cana asked: So tell me more about you?
'Shit' she thought what do I say now. I am from another dimension and you are just a mind creation by some Japanese artist? Wow wow wow. Just calm down Altea. Maybe I should just pretend I lost my memory but what about them. They know I know them. Oh yes I know all of Fairy Tail dimension I can do it I can pretend I am from here of course.
"Well I come from Crocus. My mother and father are merchants and we live a simple life you know. Just the normal things selling and buying." She was fidgeting with her fingers. Cana eyed her suspiciousle and asked.
"What do you sell?" Altea looked at her and tried to think about it.
"Potions and… spells!" Cana then seemed to lit up.
"Well that's wonderful but then how did we inspire you in some sort. Did a mission changed your life or something like that?" Altea thought about this for a moment. Well all of them. And Cana too with her heartwarming story in Tenrou island arc. She wanted to tell her she was so happy for her reuniting with her father that was supposed to know only the guild after all.
"I just read so much on magazines and do my research on all of you guys. It is as I know you so much." Cana looked at her surprised and said.
"Well what do you know about me then? Surprise me." She said confindent on herself because she never left any interviews or said bullshit to them. She was chuckling inwardly. Altea was thinking about that she knew every abilities of the card mage beside her, but that wouldn't be enough to convince her as this information could be found on magic articles. What truly she doubted anyone knew beside some guild members was her personal story. So she begin.
"What if I tell you that I know the reason you joined the guild?" she asked her rather nervously at the thought of bringing the mage unpleasant memories. Cana raised a brow at the brunette now interested but she was sure that she bluffing.
"Well go on surpirise me!" she said chuckling and drinking from the barrel. Altea brought her memories to her mind about the episode of Cana revealing to Lucy her past life.
"Well, you wanted to face your father and confess to him, because your mother said he was the stronger member of Fairy Tail. But your fear of rejection kept you from telling him waiting for the right and so you began playing with other guild members like Gray and Natsu and began your future telling career. Then you told this story to Lucy before the s-class tournament at Tenrou island began. This is all I remember reading" Cana's eyes were wide open looking incredously at the new girl with strange outfit that told her, her deeper secret from 7 year before. This was logically not possible. Altea seeing the girl's reaction became intimidated and imidiately regretted telling her about her story. Cana stood and brought her cards in her hand freezing the frightened brunette in the process.
"Who are you and what do you want from Fairy Tail?" asked Cana with anger seething. The girl had tears on her eyes now and she was so afraid looking at the anger directed to her. She couldn't bring her voice up. Mira who now returned to the two girls noticed the frightened girl and Cana ready for a fight. She brought a hand over the shoulder of Altea and asked Cana seriously.
"Cana what are you doing? You are frightening this girl." Cana looked at Mira and gave her a determined look.
"This girl here, you don't know what she told me. I think she is and eneme." She said ready to cage the girl on one of her cards.
"Wait!" ordered Mira, something was not right she could feel no dark aura emitting from this girl, but she also knew that Cana wouldn't attack without a reason." What did she told you Cana? Explain first and then we will hear her reason as well." Tried to rationalize Mira. Cana puffed her cheeks in frustration but retreated.
"She told me the reason I joined the guild Mira. The 'true' reason!" she emphasized and Mira was soghtly surprised as well. She looked over the girl who now had a guilty look and her eyes were glued on the floor.
"Altea can you explain how did you manage to get this information. Did someone from the guild told you that?" she asked in a motherly way trying to be gentle. Altea finally spoke.
"I-I have a this visions. I can see part of the lives of people that I truly admire." She lied deciding that telling the truth was too troublesome for now.
"So you have visions about the lives of the members of Fairy Tail" asked Mira in awe. Altea merely nodded at the half-truth and Mira continued. "Well that's amazing. I mean you must truly love us to be able to see our lives through your visions." She clapped her hands together and was excited suddenly. Cana growled in irritation not finding it amusing at all.
"Listen here girly, it's okay that you know our secrets but if you tell anybody about mine I will hunt you personally" Warned Cana the brunette, which waved her hands defensively and nodded furiously.
"Yes ma'am I promise t not tell anyone." She said stuttering. Cana who saw the fear and sincerity in the girl's eyes nodded and smiled satisfied.
"Well I guess I can offer you a drink!" she said to the girl who was confused now "I mean as a sorry-gift for frightening you." The girl now smiled.
"Well I would love that Cana, it would be an honor drinking with you but maybe later." She said pointing at the cake and the milkshake in front of her.
"Well, well I can understand, but if you aren't willing to drink with me maybe I will go and maybe intimidate some of the girls of their urequited love." She laughed loudly which made Altea sweat dropp and then walked away. It was in that moment that Altea looked around and spotted the familiar mages. Two tables away was Elfaman, with Lissana and Evergreen having a conversation and eating breakfast. As she saw them she was so happy to see the familiar sibling sight and Elfman so close to Everegreen. She shipped them so much.
"Altea" called out the angelic voice of Mira from Behind her. She quickly turned around still flustered standing in front of the mighty Mira. Just seeing here gave her heart so happiness. She wanted to hug her. "You were looking at Elfman and Evergreen, right? " asked Mira with a knowing look. "What do you think of them?" asked her again. Altea's smile widened and before she could think her mouth spoke.
"They would totally marry in the future!" she exclaimed. Mira let out a squeal and hugged Altea which was sturtlet feeling the soft body of the she-devil.
"I knew it." Said Mira pulling back. "They are so cute right?" she asked and she had no idea than in the future they would probably marry for real. Altea laughed and sipped her milkshake for the firs time enjoying the graceful taste on her mouth. It was heaven, strawberry with coco and banana and some cinnamon.
"ummmm…." Moaned Altea in delight.
"You like it?" asked Mira. Altea nodded really fast.
"I love it so much!" she exclaimed. Mira seemed satisfied.
"I made it specifically thinking abou what you would like" Altea suddenly looked up with wide eyes, not believing that Mira. 'Mira' would do this milkshake thinking about her. She stood up and hugged the white haired mage saying 'thank you' in her chest. Mira startled at first but than relaxed and patted her head slowly.
"Don't mention it. I told you as soon as you were inside the guild you can consider yourself part of it. So what else do you know about the guild. Something spicy." Asked Mira ready for some gossip. Altea loved this part of her. The problem was that she had too much to speak about. What can she say. About her past. That they were three siblings without parents and left their village because Mira was considered a demon. No absolutely not. Then what. Ohhhh! Yes.
"Well… I'm not sure if this is true or not. I don't envisioned it but I heard some rumors that you and Laxus have something going on." She said shyly not really sure if the rumors were true. After all Lucy in the latest chapter did mention Laxus with Mira and some other girls as well but she believed in MiLa ship. Mira was actually red now and was fidgeting on her spot.
"Where do you even heard those rumors. Laxus is not even here most of the time." She said nervously. 'Aha' Altea thought. That was a positive reaction. So maybe Laxus and Mira would end up together after all.
"Well in the future if something happen I am totally a fan of you two. Laxus is a loner and a bit arrogant with a big heart and you are the most kindest person in Fairy Tail. I think you two can run Fairy Tail together. After all you have already that mother figure." Said the girl with enthusiasm. Mira smiled brightly at her thinking that the girl was really something.
"I would think about it" said Mira truthfully. "So have you had some funny visions about some members of the guild?" she asked again. Altea thought about the first episode of Fairy Tail. It was one of the best.
"Well I can think of the day that Natsu and Happy met Lucy." She said to Mira which eyes were wide now.
"Really?" she asked. "They never told me how they actually met." This surprised Altea and now that she thought about it maybe it was some of Natsu decision to not talk about it because he destroyed the city and were chased by the rune knights.
"Well maybe I can tell you." Altea added. Mira nodded eagerly and before the girl continued she yelled to someone behind her.
"Lissana, Levy come here and listen about the day Natsu and Lucy met" Altea's eyes widened at Levy's name. She turned around to see the short bluenete with curvy hairs and Lissana coming her way. It was Levy the firs one to approach and speak to the girl.
"Hi I'm Levy Mcgarden nice to meet you" she half bowed in her direction. She was actually frozen and it was actually Mira's pat that brought her to reality.
"Altea say something." She said.
"Umm… sorry sorry I'm Altea I was just startled by seeing you" she said squeaking. Levy was confused and looked to Mira for some answer.
"Oh Levy. Altea is really passionate to the guild and know everyone of the members. So we are some kind of idols to her and she maybe was a bit too excited to meet you. She has some kind of power that can show her through dreams the life of what she most loves. And thus now she is going to tell us the story of how Lucy an Natsu met. Why didn't those guys never tell us?" asked Mira a bit irritated. Levy was really surprised and happy at the same time. She quickly gave a hug to Altea, which made the girl squirm from inside.
"Tell us, tell us…" Levy continued jumping up and down like a child. Altea was amazed. Levy one of her most loved characters that she shipped hard with Gajeel, and by the end of the series became canon, was here in front of her happy as a child. She smiled in awe. Levy stopped and sat beside her. Altea finally cleared her throat and started her story.
"Ok now maybe this is not 100 percent correct because I don't have such a good memory but I'll try my best. It was July as I remember and happened when Lucy was 16. One year after she escaped her home. She was wondering in Hargeon and was searching for a new key. After buying her Nicola that called Plue, she made her way to the town to explore. She heard from some girls that Salamander was in town. She immediately became excited because she knew that Salamander was from Fairy Tail and so she followed the girls to where this 'Salamander' was supposed to be. She found herself in front of a blue haired man with charms in his hands. One of those charms was a love one. She fell for the spell and became instantly hypnotized. It was moments later that Natsu with Happy broke through the crowd of fangirls and made eye contact with Lucy. It was in that moment that the charm spell broke only for Lucy though. The girls attacked Natsu because he said that he was not Igneel and he didn't cared. Soon after the man named Bora gave Natsu his signature of Salamander which was fake and flew away. Lucy was a bit irritated by Bora which charmed her and went to thank Natsu. She offered them-" Altea was cut off by a Levy's hand in front of her. Mira, Lissana, Cana and Levy had wide eyes now. Altea was a bit confused. 'Did she said something wrong?' Levy spoke first.
"Wait, wait, wait. Did you say Natsu was the reason for breaking the love spell?" Confused Altea replied.
"Yes of course. I remember this clearly and that was the reason why Lucy offered them to treat lunch." Levy continued.
"And you said that no other girl was able to break from the spell!"
"Umm, yes! Why are you asking that?" Levy exchanged looks with the other mages. They nodded and Levy continued.
"Do you know what that mean Altea? Do you know how you can break the love spell?"
"I don't actually know, and you are right now that I think about it. Why was only Lucy who broke from the love spell and not the other girls?" Levy nodded and continued.
"That's right. There are only three way to break from that spell. The first is if you know about the charm so you don't fall for it. The second is if the carrier of the spell decides to break it and the third is through… soulmates!" ALtea's eyes were wide now. Did really that happened though. In the manga there was never confirmed this theory even though there were speculations though. But knowing Hiro the troller, maybe he put it just as another hint for the fans to create some chaos. But now that she had confirmation by Levy it must be true. So pretty much Lucy and Natsu were really soulmates after all.
"Wow!" exclaimed Altea. The other girl's just nodded. Levy continued.
"I knew something sketchy was going on here. That must be the reason why Lucy has never told us or she really didn't know how the charm really worked." Mira's eyes sparkled in excitement.
"Now we have confirmation that those dense idiots will fell in love for each other if that hasn't happened yet." Said Mira. She looked at Altea and asked. "What do you think Altea, from the visions you have had. Do you think they are in love with each other?" Altea startled for a moment not expecting the question. She tried to remember if really Natsu and Lucy were in love. Well remembering the episode 50 which was the one of Lucy thinking that Natsu would confess her and her reaction. Yes she said through the series that she will deny him but that was only because she thought they were partners and of course she was inexperienced without dating before. Thinking about the episodes where Lucy would jump for Natsu's scarf in Tenrou or jumping with him in the waterfall in Nirvana arc or how she would blush when Natsu was staring at her intensely and every other Nalu moments, she was sure of something.
"I am sure that Lucy loves Natsu and she maybe even knows that but as for Natsu I am not totally sure. I mean I think that he loves her and has feelings but he doesn't know what they are. He is wonderful and all and I really, really love him because he is light in the darkest moments, but he is a bit dense and maybe isn't his fault. Not having a mother figure for all his life, the guy lack in understanding those feelings." Said Altea truthfully. The girls were in awe looking at her and making her uncomfortable. Mira squeaked and jumped up and down.
"Wow Altea so you know this much. It's wonderful!" said her. Levy put a finger under her chin and was in deep thoughts now.
"How do you know about Natsu's past? Did you see it through your visions?" asked Levy. With a bit of distate Altea nodded. "So you are saying that Natsu really was raised by the dragon named Igneel?" asked her. Again Altea nodded. Levy's eyes widened. A thought came to her. "Does this mean that you know where Igneel is?" she asked hopefully. All the girls suddenly became serious by the question. Altea's heartbeat increased dramatically. She was sweating. She knew too well where Igneel was but saying that could change everything in this world. She was not a good liar and she really didn't wanted to lie about this.
"I…I…don-" she couldn't finish because a hand was in her shoulder. A warm one. More warmer than the normal ones. She quickly turned around to see the owner of the hand and she found a pink haired young man grinning at her with the biggest grin she had ever seen. It was her dream grin.
"Yo!" he waved at her and her breathing stopped and then she fainted.
