Lucy's Boscan Adventure Chapter 3, a fairy tail fanfic

Chapter 3

Lucy rinsed off and called Virgo out to help with her knee. One thing she hasn't told anyone about is how badly damaged her knee was. Thankfully Capricorn had taught her how to block out pain. Virgo rubbed a pain-relieving ointment on her knee and then wrapped it. She decided to wear a maxi skirt and a halter top, that way the skirt would hide her wrapped knee.

She was walking downstairs to meet everyone for dinner, when she made it to the dining room, a sharp pain shot through her knee, and she fell. "Ouch, that hurt." She tried to brush it off as just being clumsy, but as soon as she stood up and took another step, her knee gave out again. Cris quickly made his way to her.

"Where are you hurt?"

"I'm okay, just extra clumsy today."

"Cosplayer, for as long as we have known you, you are not clumsy. Please tell us."

Lucy sighed, "during Tartaros when you were all stuck in the cube, I was fighting Jackal. He shattered my knee. I never got it checked out."

"Lulu, why didn't you tell us! Wendy could have healed you."

"I know, it was just the last thing on my mind after..." Lucy stopped, not ready to tell them about Aquarius.

"After what Lucy?" Cris asked. He knew but wanted her to talk about it because he could tell it was eating her up inside.

"When everyone was stuck in the cube, I was fighting Jackal and two other demons. I had summoned Leo and Taurus, even with them out was having trouble, so I summoned Aquarius, Taurus ended up getting sent back to the spirit realm. Aquarius knew she couldn't defeat them and that I was starting to get low on my magic. She told me that I could summon the Spirit King but to do so I'd have to... have to..."

"Blondie, do you want me to finish telling them?" Lucy just nodded, staring at the floor.

"She had to break Aquarius's key to summon the Spirit King. Aquarius was her first spirit and the strongest bond she had, that's why she said to break her key. The good news is Aquarius's key will appear again, but it takes time."

Everyone was shocked and awed that Lucy made that sacrifice to save her guild and Earthland. While they couldn't completely understand what she was going through, they all silently promised to be there for her and help her anyway they could.

"Will you let me check your knee and heal it if I can?" Cris asked. Lucy nodded. His hands lit up with his magic and moved them over her knee. "I can fix it." He smiled and healed her knee. Lucy sighed as the pain completely went away.

"Blondie, how where you able to keep that from us?" Laxus gave her a stern look.

"Capricorn taught me how to take my pain and put it in box, so it pushes it out of my mind. Being able to do that I can keep fighting." Everyone frowned at that, they all felt that no one should be able to push past their body's limit.

"From now on please tell us Lulu."

"I promise I will tell you guys from now on." They all smiled; they knew what a promise from her meant. Cris helped Lucy up and helped her to a chair right next to him.

"Xally and Emzadi we still on for shopping tomorrow? Ever and I were wanting to get some Boscan clothing to wear while here." The girls nodded and talked excitedly about also going out for lunch.

"Cosplayer, how about we all go!"

"No Bixy, this is a girl only shopping trip." Xally said. Bix just pouted.

"How about us guys have our own day out on the town?" Vander asked. The guys nodded, liking that idea.

"Lucy, would you allow me to take you out to dinner tomorrow night?" Cris asked. Lucy smiled shyly and nodded her head.

"I'd love to do dinner with you." She didn't know why but she felt a pull towards him. Kaleb and Bix shared a knowing smile.

"Evergreen, would you allow me to take you out for dinner?" Farron asked.

Ever smiled, "I'd love that. You can call me Ever." He smiled and nodded. Arman was happy that Farron and Cris were drawn to Bix's friends. He absolutely adored Lucy and Ever. He'd love for them to become a part of the family. He also wanted Laxus and Freed to become part of the family. He noticed how Freed kept looking at Xally. He thought Laxus and Emzadi would be perfect for each other, but he knew it would be up to their dragon instincts.

"We will help you two pick out a sexy Boscan outfit for your dates!" Xally said. Lucy and Ever blushed but smiled. Cris and Farron grinned, they couldn't wait to see them in Boscan clothing. They all talked and joked with each other while eating. They found out that Lucy had just recently joined the Raijinshuu and she was on a different team with people she thought were friends. After hearing some stories, everyone was disgusted by how she was treated.

"I'm glad you are part of our team now Lulu! I'm sorry I never noticed how bad it actually was for you before. I know I said this before, but I still feel guilty."

"Ever, it isn't your fault. None of you are to blame. I just knew it was better than my life at the kozern, and Natsu is the one who brought me to Fairy Tail. I should have left the team especially since I got hurt more from their attacks than the dark mages, and because of them fighting between each other I was kidnapped so much." A loud growl came from next to her. She looked at Cris in shock.

"How can you talk so calmly about being kidnapped." he asked. Lucy bit her lip and looked to Bix for help.

"Cosplayer was a beacon for getting kidnapped because her team never completely watched out for her. From what I remember, there was at least six times she had been kidnapped. The worst is when she was almost sacrificed."

"BIX! You shouldn't have told them that." Lucy groaned. Everyone except the Raijinshuu was shocked.

"What do you mean almost sacrificed?" Kaleb asked.

"A dark guild that went by Oracion Seis, was destroying churches and gathering the pieces for the Infinitely Clock. They needed a celestial mage to sacrifice to it to activate it. I was kidnapped by them and was halfway sucked into it before I was saved." Everyone was speechless. Cris wanted to reach out and hug her.

"Let's get off this subject, it just makes me angry and wishing I would have had gramps disband team Natsu." Laxus growled. Everyone nodded and agreed, it made them mad to know how often she was kidnapped or hurt.

After dinner everyone decided to relax and hang out in the living room. Freed and Farron were playing chess, Kaleb was working on his tablet, taking care of things for the guild and Vander, Laxus and Bix were playing a video game together. Ever, Xally and Emzadi were looking through fashion magazines together. Cris and Zen were reading, and Arman went to his office to finish up some work.

"Cosplayer, you should come play with us!" When he didn't get a response, he looked around and realized that she was missing. "Does anyone know where she is?" he asked.

Everyone shook their heads and went to search for her. They checked her room first, she wasn't there. Then they checked the library, and asked Arman if he had seen her, he shook his head saying he hadn't seen her. He quickly got up to help look for her. They decided to see if she had gone outside and see if she was at the beach. They spotted her, and everyone gasped at what they saw. Lucy was in her Aquarius star dress, which was a blue and gold jeweled bikini top and a blue shear skirt, with gold and jewels around the waist, and had two slits up to her hips. She was walking on top of the water, and doing a beautiful contemporary dance, and water was gracefully floating around her. Everyone was entranced by her, not even the Raijinshuu had ever seen her dance. Everyone looked on in wonder as she started to sing, the Raijinshuu smiled when she started to sing. They had all heard her sing before, but it wasn't something she did often.

I can hold my breath
I can bite my tongue
I can stay awake for days
If that's what you want
Be your number one

I can fake a smile
I can force a laugh
I can dance and play the part
If that's what you ask
Give you all I am

I can do it
I can do it
I can do it

Cris was so enthralled by her, he started walking closer to the water. No one could take their eyes off her.

"She is absolutely breathtaking." Cris said.

"Yes, she is." Kaleb agreed.

"I've missed hearing her sing, but I have never seen her dance." Ever said. The rest of the Raijinshuu nodded.

"Wait, so you guys have never seen her dance before?" Vander asked.

"Nope, and it's been a few months since she has even sung." Laxus said.

But I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

I can turn it on
Be a good machine
I can hold the weight of worlds
If that's what you need
Be your everything

I can do it
I can do it
I'll get through it

I'm only human
I'm only human
Just a little human

I can take so much
'Til I've had enough

'Cause I'm only human
And I bleed when I fall down
I'm only human
And I crash and I break down
Your words in my head, knives in my heart
You build me up and then I fall apart
'Cause I'm only human

Once she finished singing, everyone started cheering for her. She was shocked to see that everyone was watching her. She blushed and gave everyone a shy smile. She walked back to the shore and was bombarded with questions.

"Where did you learn to dance Cosplayer?"

"Why didn't you tell us you were coming out here?"

"Your voice is amazing, how long have you been singing?"

"Where did you get this outfit, Blondie?"

Lucy held up her hand to stop the questions. "Bix, I learned different types of dancing when I lived in the konzern. Then once I left and joined Fairy Tail, I secretly took lessons for belly dancing, pole dancing, and hip hop. I didn't tell anyone because you were all relaxing, and I wanted a couple minutes to myself, I didn't plan on dancing but since Cris healed my knee, I wanted to see how it felt to dance again. Thank you, I've been singing most of my life, I had some lessons when I lived at the konzern. This is the Aquarius star dress. The Spirit King granted me the ability after sacrificing her key."

"Lulu, why didn't you tell me you were taking dance lessons? I would have joined you!" Ever pouted.

"I stopped them after Tartaros. I did them as a way to have time apart from team Natsu. I would love to take them again and would love if you joined me Ever."

"How good are you at belly dancing and pole dancing?" Cris asked with a smirk.

Lucy blushed, "The instructors told me that I was a natural."

"We should all go to the club this weekend and put it to the test." Emi said. Everyone quickly agreed before Lucy could say anything, but she smiled and loved how they wanted to spend time with her and see things she is good at. It was nice for someone to take an interest in things she liked for once. Lucy let her star dress fade as they went back to the house, all of them talking excitedly about going to the club this weekend.
