It was the middle of the night. Lucy and Loke at Karen's grave just after the Celestial king had left.

"Lucy" Loke said getting up from the ground and putting up his hand up,

"Yep," Lucy said grabbing his hand. (sorry I can't really type the sound she makes)

"I just wanted to say thank you," Loke said as he returns to the celestial world.

As Lucy pulls her hand back she realized something was in her hand to see that is was Loke key. She smiled and attached it to the other keys. she then noticed how exhausted she was.

After staying there for about 10 minutes thinking about what just happened she decided to go back to town and tell her guildmates to stop looking. As she walked off she noticed that her magic was back to normal. "Weird" Lucy said to her self as she entered the woods.

LUCY POV:

I was nearly out of the woods when I heard something rustling in the bushes. I turned around quickly.

"Hello?" I said after a few seconds no one answered. I start walking again a few seconds later a here that rustling sound this time from the bush right next to me. I didn't want to take any chances as I slowly got out a key

"Open, Gate of the maiden, Virgo," I said as Virgo appeared "Punishment Princess," Virgo said looking blankly at me

"No, can you see if there is anything in that bush over there," I said pointing to the bush, she went up to the bush and looked all around it and then came back.

"There was nothing in the bush princess, but near it, there was a fox trying to catch a squirrel," she said looking up at me as I sighed in relief,

"Thanks, Virgo, can you please walk with me till we get to town," I said "Yes princess," she said as we started walking.

Virgo and I entered the town we could still see everyone looking for Loke. I noticed some people were looking at me wondering why I wasn't helping.

"Princess would you like me to return now?" Virgo said coming to a stop, I stop walking and turn around.

"Yes please, thank you, Virgo," I said to her

"And princess, thank you," she said as she disappeared. I turned back around and kept walk again looking for someone who can spread the message to stop the search.

I looked around I saw everyone calling his name. I looked down at the ground sadly thinking about what would have happened if I didn't make it to Loke in time.

I looked back up to see Natsu, Erza and Gray making their way over to me.

"where have you been, Natsu said that he saw you coming into town with Virgo," Erza said waiting for my answer.

"Wait, have you found Loke?" Natsu said impatiently.

I was thinking of a way to tell them without having to call Loke out because he has to regain his strength. I took a deep breath and said,

"You can stop the search because I have found Loke" I took another breath. "Well, where is he?" Gray said as I took out Loke's key

" it's a long story but Loke is actually the celestial spirit 'Leo the lion.' He resting up in the celestial world because he has been in this world for 3 years" I said hoping they would believe what I said not that it wasn't true.

"How come he never told us this before," Erza said looking at me

"I think it was because he didn't think there was a way he could return," I said "I will tell everyone to stop looking," she said as she went away, as I put the key back

As Natus and Gray were about to ask me more questions but Virgo's key started to glow she said

'Princess can you please summon me I need to talk to you' the key stopped glowing as I looked up the to guys who were looking at me, "Will you please excuse me for a second" I said turning and walk a couple of steps and pulled out a key,

"Open, Gate of the Maiden, Virgo," I said, as she appeared in front of me "Hello Princess," she said I looked a bit confused because she would usually ask for a punishment.

"H.. Hello Virgo," I said stuttering as she gives me a hug. I was a little shocked at first but hugged back. she whispered in my ear "I just spoke with Aries and she wanted me to say thank you to you" as we broke from the hug.

"Can you tell her your welcome," I said

"Yes princess I will go now," Virgo said as she was about to disappear "Oh wait! Virgo," I said she stopped and looked at me

"How is he by the way," I said

"He is recovering ok he says that he will try and visit soon," she said "Tell him not to rush," I said and Virgo nodded and disappeared.

I turned around to Natsu and Gray sitting on the ground.

I walked back to them and asked them for the time

"It is 9.15pm," Gray said looking at his watch

"Hey, Lucy," Natsu said "Yeah," I said, "What were you guys talking about and who is Aries?" Natsu said

"I will tell you all in the morning, right now I am going home, I had a lone day, by," I said waving to them as I was heading home.

When I arrived at my house I got my pj's on and hoped into bed thinking about the day. I kept tossing and turning trying to get to sleep. Then I got an idea I sat up and grab my keys that were next to my bed and go out a key.

"Open, Gate of the little dog, Nikora," I said as Plue appears in front of me.

"HI Plue, I was wondering if you could help me get to sleep by staying the night," I said not sure if he would agree

"Pun pun" he said coming up to me "Thank you" I said pulling him into a hug than I laid back down on the bed, put my head back on the pillow I roll on my side Plus comes and lays down in front of me "Thank you" I whisper again in what I think is his ear as I drift off to sleep.

...

My eyes slowly open as I see the desk next to my bed. I look down to see a white little head. "Plue.. Plue it time to get up" I say in a gentle voice he lefts his head up to see me

"Thank you for spending the night plue, you can go back now," I say to him as Plue starts to glow

"Punn pun" he says as he disappears. I get up, have breakfast, take a shower and put only clothes ready for the day.

I grab my keys and whip and leave my apartment walking towards the guild.

when I get there I see all the members drinking and laughing. I look around and in the corner, I see a Natsu, Gray and Happy talking to this guy with orange hair 'Wait a second that guy looks like Loke' I thought as I went to the bar and order myself a strawberry milkshake. When Natsu, Gray, happy and Loke come up to me "Hey Lucy" said Loke I turn around "Oh hey Loke" I said to him

"Oh yeah, Luce don't worry about telling us on what happened last night because loke told us," said Natsu

'But I thought I already explain it last night' I pouted in my head "But I still can't believe that YOU'RE A CELESTIAL SPIRIT!" said Happy looking at Loke.

"Did he tell you that he's really a lion spirit," I said feeling proud about my self.

"REALLY! I didn't know that," said happy flying around Loke "Wait" Happy said stopped in mid-air "Lions are like grown-up cats right," said Happy looking at Loke "that's right" Loke said a hand behind his head, I could feel my anger rising "DON'T LIE TO HIM" I yelled at Loke "Really you're the coolest spirit ever" said Happy dulling on Loke's shoulder.

and the rest they say is history!
