Chapter 1

It's been a month since Tartaros. A month since Lucy lost Aquarius, a spirit very dear to her, and who was like a second mother to her. She remembers looking for her best friend and team. None of them could be found. She went to her apartment hoping that they were there, they were not but she did find a note. A note from her best friend stating he was leaving to train. She decided that she would train with the help of friends who didn't leave her behind. She wanted to get a couple tattoos. She got Aquarius's constellation tattooed on her side and some clusters of stars on her hips.

Without her ex-team around, she grew in strength and confidence. Evergreen became her greatest friend and sister, and Laxus took her in as kin. She loved talking about books with Freed, and Bix was like a brother to her, and they constantly joked around with each other. She still talked to Levy and Gajeel. She was so happy that they were finally together. Gajeel had also taken her in as kin. The only ones who knew about her sacrificing Aquarius were the Raijinshuu, Gajeel and Levy. Her style has changed a little, she doesn't wear miniskirts anymore, she likes maxi skirts or pants. She does like to wear crop tops to show off her toned stomach and tattoos.

Lucy and the Raijinshuu had just finished their training and went to sit at their table and eat lunch. "Hey, would you guys want to take a vacation with me to Bosco? Seith magic is finally legal! Which means I can visit my family."

"I would love to go to Bosco with you! You always talk about your family; I'd love to meet them." Lucy said.

"If Lulu goes, I'm definitely in." Ever said. Laxus grunted and Freed nodded in agreement.

"When should we go?" Lucy asked.

"I'll call my dad later and have him help arrange for an airship to pick us up in Hargeon and fly us to Bosco." Everyone nodded. Lucy and Ever talked excitedly about being able to shop for Boscan clothes. Freed and Laxus groaned at that, knowing they would be dragged along with them. Bix enjoyed going shopping with Lucy and Ever.

While Lucy was excited about going to Bosco, she was also sad because she wouldn't be able to summon Aquarius in the grass sea. Laxus noticed her mood going down and put his arm around her. "What's got you down all of a sudden Blondie?"

"I was just thinking of Aquarius and how she would have loved to be summoned in the grass sea." A tear ran down her cheek before she could stop it. She was still hurting but tried her best to stay strong in front of her friends.

"Cosplayer, we know you miss her. It's okay if you are sad, you don't have to act strong in front of us, we are family." Lucy gave him a watery smile. She explained that she had been researching and had learned that her key will appear again, but it will take a few months before the key appears somewhere on Earthland. She let them know that knowing her key would come back, helped a lot but it still hurts.

"Do you regret breaking her key Lulu?"

"No! Of course, not because I saved all of you. I wouldn't have been able to forgive myself if I left you all to die." Ever smiled at her and pulled her in for a hug.

"Lulu, let's go home and start packing for vacation!" The girls got up, talking excitedly about the vacation. They decided to look through their clothes, and then also buy some new swimsuits and outfits to take with them. "I'm so glad that we live together!"

"Me too! Living with you has been the best! Movie nights, and just being able to have girl time." They rent a three-bedroom house with two bathrooms. They knew it was best for them to each have their own bathroom. Their house was decorated in a bohemian theme since they both liked that style. "There are only two swimsuits I'm going to pack, then I'll buy new ones tomorrow when we go shopping."

"I bet I know one of the two you are going to pack." Ever said with a smirk. Lucy grinned at her. The first swimsuit Lucy grabbed was a deep blue two piece with stars on it. The second was a one-piece thong in white that was mostly mesh, except across her chest and private area.

"Have you found any swimsuits to bring?"

"Yes! I'm bringing my deep green two piece and my one-piece swimsuit that matches yours, except mine is a forest green."

"Girl we are gonna drop some jaws when we wear those swimsuits! We need to plan the day to wear them." Lucy said.

"Yes, we do! Okay, I got my swimsuits packed, and the couple outfits I want to bring. What about you Lulu?"

"I got mine picked out too! I think we should pick out a matching outfit tomorrow! Then we can also get a matching outfit when shopping in Bosco." Ever said. Lucy smiled and nodded. They decided to stay in for dinner, and watch more of their show. They were currently watching season two of Sailor Moon. They decided to watch the original before watching Sailor Moon Crystal. They absolutely loved it, and already had favorite scouts picked out. Lucy liked Sailor Mercury and Ever liked Sailor Mars. They had pizza and salad for dinner.

Both of their phones went off. Lucy's phone was closest, so they checked the message on her phone. talked to my dad, he got everything situated for us, we leave in three days -Bix. Alright, I will let Gramps know that we are leaving in three days for vacation –Laxus. Gramps is going to be shocked that you're taking a vacation Sparky –Lucy. LoL, I know –Laxus. I've been reading about Boscan culture. It is fascinating –Freed. Lucy and Ever giggled, they should have known he would have gone home to read up on Bosco.

They finished the episode of Sailor Moon they were watching and decided to get some sleep. In the morning they went to their favorite diner for breakfast before going shopping. They each got three new swimsuits, and three outfits each. One of the outfits they matched on but decided on different colors. Once they had finished shopping, they went home to finish packing their suitcases. Once they finished, they went to the guild to meet up with the guys for lunch.

"Ever and I already have our bags packed!" Lucy said grinning.

"Uh huh, I know you Cosplayer, you will both unpack and repack at least twice before we leave."

"Not this time, because we decided we also want to buy some Boscan clothes to wear while on our vacation! I only picked out two swimsuits to bring."

"Which two are ya bringing Cosplayer?" Lucy just smirked and shook her head. Bix pouted knowing that she wouldn't tell him.

"How does Gramps feel about you taking a vacation Laxus?"

"He is surprised, but glad I'm taking a break."

"Virgo just told me that she will hold all our bags in the spirit realm until we get to your family home. That way we won't have to worry about lugging them on the train and then the airship."

"Tell her thank you for us Blondie." Lucy nodded. They talked about what they wanted to do while in Bosco. After lunch they decided to go to Laxus's house to play games, swim and have a cookout. Lucy went and sat on the swing under her favorite tree. Laxus added the swing after he noticed how often she sat under the tree. Lucy brought her knees up to her chest and rested her head on them while she thought about everything that had happened over the last month. She missed Aquarius every day, she couldn't understand why Erza, Gray and Natsu would all just abandon her. She knew her relationship with them would never be the same again. She has also started to realize how much they held her back from growing as a mage.

"Hey Cosplayer, you good?"

"Yeah Bix, I'm good. Just thinking about Aquarius, it hurts so much but being around you guys helps. Also thinking about how Erza, Gray and Natsu could just abandon me like that, especially with all their talk about Nakama."

"I'm sorry you lost Aquarius, but you know I will help you get her key back. As for those three, I don't even know what to say. All I can say is their loss was our gain!" He gave her his tongue lolling grin. She smiled at him.

In Bosco

Armen was preparing his house for his son's homecoming. He couldn't wait to see his son again and is very happy that he is bringing his friends with him. He was excited to meet Bickslow's chosen family. He was very curious to know who Cosplayer was, when he asked Bix what Cosplayer's real name was, he was told he would have to wait until they got there. He just rolled his eyes and laughed at Bickslow's playfulness. He has already contacted all his children asking them to be at the house to welcome him and his friends. He was so glad he got the bill passed to make Seith magic legal. In just two days, he will have his whole family back together again. Hopefully I can talk Bickslow and his team to move here and join White Sea.
