"Love is a complicated thing. Some make it sound like it can last forever... That it's a certainty... It's more complicated than that. Love comes in all different forms and nothing about it is for certain. Some find themselves trapped..." Aiden and Janet's wedding anniversary is actually today. Aiden was loving the decorations, but Janet hated them. "Some find themselves falling in despair." Taylor tried using her special signal as she still had hope that Celestria would give her a miraculous, but nothing ever happened. "It can be rather frustrating and some tend to be impatient." Salamondra made another attempt to win Celestria's heart with a rose, but she turned him down again because she's in love with someone else. It was becoming so hard for him to keep getting rejected like that. "Some even find themselves in great pain." Invel's condition was getting worse from his devotion to the Dragneel Family. "Some believe they are certain about their love when sometimes it comes into question..." Natsu continued to harbor feelings for Celestria as he looked over photos on his phone. However, he soon spotted a photo of Yukino and he got a feeling of joy from seeing that. He wasn't the only one. As Sting rode his bike, he spotted he wasn't far from Lucy's place and wanted to see her.
"Yes, Dad. I'll make it to the hotel." Lucy said as she chatted on the phone with her father while carrying some boxes. "I know I've been late before, but I'll make it." She was trying to assure her father of her arrival, but she ended up tripping and lost her balance. The boxes she was carrying nearly hit the ground until Sting showed up and caught them. "Sting! What are you doing here?"
"What? I can't come see you?" Sting said. "Truth is...I've been thinking about you a lot lately." He admitted with Lucy's face turning red. "I've actually been working on a little melody that makes me think of you."
"Really?" Lucy questioned as that sounded so sweet to her. "I love to hear it, but I actually need to..." She didn't say anymore as Sting handed her a spare helmet for her. Getting the idea, she took the helmet and hopped on as the two of them rode off together.
...
The Allard Hotel
Sting gave Lucy a ride all the way to the hotel to ensure she made it. Her family was catering the special occasion for the Allard Family.
"Thanks for the ride, Sting." Lucy said as she unloaded everything off his bike.
"Mind if we meet later? I want to share with you that melody I've been working on." Sting said.
"Sure. That actually sounds nice." Lucy said as she found herself drawn more and more to Sting. Before departing, she even gave him a small kiss on the cheek, much to Sting's delight. Many have gathered for the celebration in the anniversary for the mayor and one of the best stylist around. Even Natsu and Yukino were there with their family. Lucy made her way up there with her parents glad to see her. However, Lucy did see Natsu and Yukino together and wished it was her with him.
"Mr. and Mrs. Allard, my deepest congratulations on your anniversary." Zeref said as Invel held up his tablet to speak with them. "To compliment this exquisite day, I give the both of you something I made myself. It is the Cloak of Eternal Love." Natsu went on over and wrapped a pink cloak around the two of them that had a heart pin to keep it together. "It embraces you two together as a symbol of your love and to keep you close as love should be." Aiden liked it, but Janet seemed rather disgusted by it.
"Thank you, Zeref. It's... It's rather..." Aiden said to find the right words.
"Hideous." Janet said as she had no trouble saying what she really thinks about it.
"Uh... Mom is right. That color doesn't go with her at all." Taylor said to stay on her mother's good side. While all of that was going on, Lucy was trying to help her family set the whole thing. However, she kept looking to Natsu and Yukino and kept seeing how happy they were together. That really stings her heart. When Natsu looked in her direction, Lucy tried her best to act casual, but she was doing a lousy job of that.
"Hey. Lucy's here." Natsu said. When he pointed that out, he and Yukino were thinking the same thing. Both of them were about to go over to her...
"Hold it, Natsu." Jacob said as he stopped him from going anywhere. All Yukino's mother had to do was glare at her daughter.
"Oh, let the two of them go." Sorano said. "They just want to go over and talk to their friend. What's the harm in that?" Glad to see someone was on their side. Both of their little bodyguards let them go as they walked over.
"Hi, Lucy." Yukino said with Lucy trying her best to act normal.
"I didn't know you were going to be here." Natsu said.
"Me? No... I mean I am here. I'm just helping my parents. You two don't want to be around this." Lucy said as she was still failing on acting normal around Natsu.
"As sweet as this is, it's actually rather boring." Yukino admitted. "Plus, I'm not sure those two are in the right mood for a celebration like this."
"How about we stay and help you out?" Natsu offered, but Lucy didn't seem sure. "Please." He begged as the two of them didn't want to go back. Being a good friend, Lucy agreed to let them help. "In fact, can you help me with a few things in the kitchen?" She asked as the two of them followed her.
"I'm sure you're all wondering the secret to our lengthy marriage. It's rather simple." Aiden said.
"Distance." Janet interrupted. "That way, you don't have a chance to drive the other insane."
"That's not true, and I'm getting quite tired of how you are acting on this special day of ours." Aiden said as he was getting a little fed up with her attitude. The two of them started to argue and that give Invel the opportunity he was looking for. Meanwhile, Natsu and the girls were doing some work in the kitchen, but they found a way to have some fun in it as well. Even if it was three of them, they still had fun together. However, Yukino's mother was getting impatient.
"They've been gone for too long. Go and find them." Vanessa ordered Jacob like he worked for him.
"Only because Natsu is my responsibility." Jacob said as he stood up and went looking for them. While Yukino and Natsu were having their own little fun in the kitchen, Lucy spotted Jacob coming through the window. When Jacob went in, there was no one there.
"Where the blooming blazes are they?" Jacob questioned as he continued searching for them, but just missed them as all three of them were hiding in there.
"Quick thinking, Lucy." Natsu said.
"Thanks, but I should get back." Lucy said.
"No. Come with us. We're finally having some fun." Yukino said as they liked having her around. Lucy just couldn't say no to them.
...
The Roof
Meanwhile, since Janet and Aiden were busy arguing, Invel went up to the roof. He went to the special signal Taylor made for herself to try and signal Celestria. He took the cord and pulled it right out so that it would never work.
"It is done, sir." Invel said as he called Zeref. "Are you sure this is even necessary? Celestria has never entrusted her with a miraculous before?"
"Yes. She still has hope in Celestria, but she won't much longer." Zeref said as he has something sinister planned. Invel was about to head back down, but that was when he heard someone coming and quickly hid. That was when Natsu and the girls showed up and hoped to have some fun of their own. While they were distracted, Invel slipped away.
"Hey! Check out the pool!" Natsu said as he pointed to how it was filled with plastic balls like it was a ball pit. Probably for the party. The two of them decided to get ahead as Natsu grabbed both of their friends and dived right inside. The three of them came up and had so much fun together. As they emerged, Lucy's hair was let loose. "Wow! Lucy, I've never seen you with your hair down before."
"Oh... Well..." Lucy said as she was a little embarrassed to see her hair down like that, but she liked that Natsu liked it.
"I must admit, I've never had so much fun before." Yukino said as she enjoyed her time with both of them.
"Well, the fun is just starting." Lucy said as she playfully tackled her.
...
The Party
"You are ridiculous! Everything around here is ridiculous!" Janet complained.
"Is it? Maybe it's just ridiculous because you are hardly ever around to appreciate any of it." Aidan said. The two of them kept arguing and fighting like that. This day that was suppose to be about love has quickly faded away. However, there is one person that would love this.
...
Black Wizard
"It's always so tragic when love quickly fades." Black Wizard said as he can sense the rise of anger happening. "Well, I'll certainly love this, as well as what's to come. The battle for all the miraculous will soon begin!" Black Wizard put the phases of his plan into action as he took an etherious in his hands and filled it with dark power. "Flyaway, my evil etherious. Turn their love into something I will love!"
...
The Hotel
Meanwhile, Natsu and the girls continued their enjoyment in being disobedient. Natsu found a piano that was going to be used for the party and started playing it. Yukino stood near him and admired how he played while Lucy tried fixing her hair. While she was, she noticed how close they appeared to be, Yukino is where she wishes she could be.
"Natsu!" They heard Jacob calling out for him. He soon arrived on the roof, but the three of them ducked under the piano to hide while Jacob looked around for them. It seemed like there was no way out until Lucy spotted a free ball. She grabbed it and just threw it. When that happened, it made a sound for Jacob to check out. That gave the three of the opportunity to run for it and got out of there.
...
The Party
At the same time, Janet and Aidan continued to argue with each other. The way they were going at each other was getting out of hand and they kept getting angrier and angrier.
"I hate you!" Both of them said as the same time as they really let the other have it. That was right when the etherious showed up and went in the heart that was on the cloak with both of them now linked with Black Wizard.
"Love Eater, I'm Black Wizard. Love is such a hard thing, isn't it? You don't want it anymore? Well, I'm giving you the power to devour it, all kinds of it. In return, you must bring me the miraculous of Celestria and Salamondra."
"My mouth is watering with anticipation." Both of them said as they were both given the power and merged into one creature. It was like they were a giant pink floating head with their faces merged together and a heart earring on both ears. Everyone was getting so worried and scared on what might happen. Love Eater looks towards Jude and Layla as they held each other.
"They look so much in love." The creature fired a beam from their eyes and turned both of them into hearts and devoured both of them. "I shall devour all those who are in love."
"Lucky me. I'm not in love." Taylor said as she thought she was safe.
"Wrong, my dear." Love Eater said. "You love yourself a lot." The creature tried turning Taylor into a heart, but she avoided them and ran off.
"This time... This time for sure!" Taylor said as she was certain that Celestria would come and give her a miraculous. As Love Eater continued turning people into hearts and devouring them, she made her way to the roof. She went for a light and tried to activate it, but it wasn't working. She looked and saw that the wire was pulled up. She can't get her special signal working, but she's still sure Celestria will come and get her a miraculous.
...
Natsu and the Girls
All three of them were able to make it out of the hotel. They all felt such a rush and had such a great time with their little disobedience. It was just so much fun for all of them.
"Man, this is turning into a really fun day." Natsu said. "You want to know what might make it even better. Some ice cream."
"From Sherry?" Lucy questioned.
"The very same, and I know where she is today." Natsu said as he didn't want the good times to end. He went on ahead to where Sherry is suppose to be today.
"You'll love it, Yukino." Lucy explained. "Sherry says she can see your love. If you have ice cream with the person you love will be in love forever."
"That sounds sweet, but I'm not sure about something like that. I am sure that I do want ice cream." Yukino said. She might have been a little skeptic, but she loved hanging with both of the most important people to her. The three of them took off. Thanks to Natsu, they were able to find Sherry.
"Aw! Natsu and Lucy! Good to see the two of you again." Sherry said. "I also see we have a new face here."
"This is Yukino." Natsu introduced.
"So, what flavors do you recommend this time?" Lucy questioned.
"Let me see..." Sherry said as she tried to think it over. "With Natsu and Yukino, I see strawberry and marshmallow. Two sweet tastes that can be great together. Natsu and Lucy, I see strawberry and French vanilla. They are classic, yet something seems missing, but you two make it work. Yukino and Lucy, I see marshmallow and French vanilla. Two sweet tastes that everyone seems to love. So, which will it be?"
"You pick, Lucy. I don't get what she's talking about anyway." Yukino said.
"Yeah. I'm sure you'll make the right choice." Natsu said.
"Me? I don't know. Can't you find something that works for all three of us?" Lucy questioned.
"I could, but mixing so many flavors together ruins the taste." Sherry said.
"I don't know." Lucy said. "Strawberry and vanilla are great separately, but what about together? Plus, what's the something is missing? Meanwhile, strawberry and marshmallow is a great combo. What if strawberry wants to be with marshmallow in the first place? Vanilla and marshmallow are great, and what if strawberry just doesn't like being with vanilla? Strawberry and marshmallow is also a classic."
"Lucy, I'm having a hard time following. What are you talking about?" Natsu questioned. Lucy was talking about herself, Natsu, and Yukino the whole time. She's starting to think that Yukino is much better for Natsu than she really is.
"Strawberry and marshmallow, Sherry." Lucy said as she felt like she was admitting defeat. Natsu went to grab it while Lucy just turned away and was leaving.
"Where are you going?" Yukino asked.
"I've got to get back to help my parents." Lucy said.
"We'll go with you." Yukino offered.
"No. You two enjoy yourselves." Lucy said as she just left. When Natsu grabbed the ice cream, he noticed Lucy was gone.
"Where's Lucy?"
"She left. I hope she's okay." Yukino said as neither of them knew they were the reason for Lucy's sadness. As Lucy made her way back to the hotel, she felt such heartbreak. She wants to be with Natsu so much, but Yukino seems much better for him. She doesn't even try as hard as Lucy does. The worst part is that Yukino is really nice and Lucy doesn't want to cause problems in their friendship.
"Stop in the name of the law!" She looked ahead and saw Officer Lahar was turned into a heart and was devoured by Love Eater.
"He certainly loved the law." Love Eater claimed. Now that Lucy is aware of the situation, she had to focus as she hurried to find a spot to transform.
"Stella, Twinkle!" She quickly changed into Celestria and had to get her head in the game. She came out and landed on a roof with Love Eater noticing her.
"There you are, Celestria! Your love for your city and your miraculous will be delicious!" Love Eater said as it tried shooting its beams at her, but Celestria got moving. As they were fighting, Black Wizard was watching as he was actually there in person seeing things unfold. Sir Gallos landed down and stood with him.
"Everything is going according to plan." Sir Gallos said.
"Excellent. When Celestria needs help, like say needs a third partner, she must get the miraculous itself." Black Wizard said. "She'll have to go to Mavis to get it. When that happens, my real plan will be put into action." Everything is going just as Black wizard wanted. However, there was one concern as he heard Sir Gallos cough and dropped to his knees. "Sir Gallos! This might be too much!"
"I can push through! I'll be fine!" Sir Gallos claimed, but Black Wizard feared the worst.
"Just leave Celestria to me." Black Wizard said. He's hoping this does work so he doesn't have to keep putting Sir Gallos at risk. Celestria is trying her best to fight off Love Eater, but it was difficult as she had to constantly avoid being blasted.
"Where are you, Salamondra? He's never around when I do want him." Celestria complained. She can't fight off Love Eater on her own, but she needs to do something. "Open the Celestial Gate!" She called on her powers and ended up getting a ticket for the merry-go-round in the park with no sign on it. "That's it!" She hated to leave things like this, but she needs help. She hurried off to where Mavis is hiding this time, but it was the moment Black Wizard needed.
"Try to conserve your strength. I'll follow Celestria." Black Wizard said as he chased after her. Celestria tried moving as fast she could so she could get back to stop Love Eater.
"Celestria! Over here!" Taylor called when she saw her and got her attention. "They're my parents! Let me help!"
"She can't be serious." Celestria said as she just isn't sure Taylor is ready for such things. She had other problems. As she swung over everyone's head, she saw Yukino feeding Natsu ice cream. They looked like a happy couple. She couldn't stand seeing it anymore and had to move fast if she wanted to harbor any chance of that being her.
...
The Park
Celestria wasn't even thinking anymore. She just wanted to get everything done and hurry back. That's why she didn't even bother to transform back when she saw Mavis working the merry-go-round.
"Mavis! I need your help!" Celestria said.
"Uh... With what? I don't even know who you are. Why are you dressed like Celestria?" Mavis said. That was when Celestria realized that she never changed back to normal.
"Oh my gosh!" Celestria said as she panicked. She just ducked inside the ride with Mavis to try and remain secretive. "I'm so sorry, Master Mavis, but I can't defeat this villain without help and I don't know where Salamondra is." Mavis understood this was a serious situation, but she had to try and keep her cover.
"Celestria, pick a ride you wish to be on." Mavis said in code as she revealed the miraculous. "Once the fun is over, you'll have to leave the ride with me." Celestria tried to pick a miraculous that could help as well as who would be able to help. That was when it hit her.
"Of course! If I give a miraculous to her..." Celestria said as she thinks she solved her problems as she took a miraculous that looks like a gold comb with a red bird-like piece attached to it.
"The phoenix? Are you sure? You seem a little distracted." Mavis said as she could tell Celestria wasn't thinking clearly.
"I'm sure. I know what I'm doing." Celestria said. Mavis trusts her, but she does have some doubts. Celestria took the miraculous and took off. When she left, a certain someone made his move.
"Hello, Mavis." Mavis was shocked as she turned around and was faced with Black Wizard himself. "We meet at last."
...
Taylor
Taylor was waiting as patiently as she could for Celestria to show up. Since it was her parents that was etheriouized this time, she was sure she was going to get a miraculous this time. She looked to the side and spotted Celestria and she had a miraculous in her hands. Taylor thought this was it, but she just put the miraculous away and took off with it.
"Are you kidding me?! Are you serious?! They're my parents!" Taylor called. She couldn't believe Celestria would just ignore her like that. She was so angry that she took her own signal and threw it off the building.
...
Natsu and Yukino
"Lucy was right. This stuff is delicious." Natsu said as he really enjoyed his ice cream. Yukino enjoyed it herself, but she enjoyed it with Natsu even more. Unlike Lucy, Yukino is a little more confident in herself. She moved a little closer to Natsu, trying to make her big move on him. She was really going to go for it...
"Watch out!" Celestria called as she swung in and pushed the two of them out of the way because Love Eater was about to turn them into hearts.
"So much more love to eat!" Love Eater claimed. "I think those two will make a delicious treat." Love Eater fired beams at them again, but Celestria used her whip and blocked the attack while Natsu grabbed Yukino and hid behind a car. This was rotten timing for Celestria since it was Yukino she wanted to give a miraculous to. As for Natsu, now that he knows of the problem, he needed to transform."
"Yukino, get out of here. I'll follow you after so at least one of us can escape." Natsu suggested so he could transform, but Yukino grabbed a hold of his arm and stopped him from going anywhere.
"No, Natsu. I won't leave you behind." Yukino said. That's a bit of a problem.
...
Mavis
Mavis was in trouble herself. Now that Black Wizard has found her, he's taking the miraculous for himself. With Mavis thrown against the ground, Black Wizard takes the box and now has almost all of them.
"I knew I find you eventually. Now, all the miraculous are mine. I just need you to tell me who Celestria and Salamondra are." Black Wizard claimed.
"That will never happen! Not while I'm here!" Mavis said. "Pixi, Flutter!" Mavis used her own miraculous powers and transformed. "Solid Script: Fire!" Mavis wasted no time as she used her powers and unleashed a blazing flame right at him, but he jumped right over.
"Using your powers already? How hasty." Black Wizard said.
"Yes, but just like you, I can use my powers more than once." Mavis claimed.
"You're going to need it." Black Wizard claimed. That was when he snapped his fingers and called upon something. Just then, something large landed down behind Mavis. She looked behind herself and was met with a figure that was about twenty-feet tall in dark armor and carried a large axe. "Meet Brigandine. An embodimonster created by Sir Gallos using my excitement for victory. There's nowhere left for you to run or hide now." Mavis was trapped now and had no means of escape. Everything really is going as Black Wizard wanted.
...
Celestria
Celestria was doing her best to get a miraculous to Yukino, but it wasn't easy. Love Eater was after her and Natsu, and the two of them were together. She can't give a miraculous to Yukino as long as Natsu is there. As Love Eater tried firing another shot at her, Celestria jumped out of the way on street light. She had to get to Yukino and there was no time for settleness.
"Listen, you two need to separate!" Celestria called to them. "That monster goes after those who are in love! If you separate, it might leave you alone!"
"It does?" Yukino questioned.
"In love?" Natsu questioned, but he saw it as an opportunity. "She's right! Splitting up would protect both of us! I'll meet up with you when it's over!" He said as he freed his arm and ran in one direction. That gave Celestria a chance as she swung around and lifted Yukino off the ground.
"Hold on tight!" Celestria said.
"What about Natsu?" Yukino questioned.
"He'll be fine, but I need your help." Celestria said as she swung off with Yukino.
"You're not getting away this time!" Love Eater called as it chased after both of them. Celestria kept moving until she could find a safe place to give Yukino the miraculous. She landed down on a roof and looked around for the villain.
"We're safe, but we only have a couple minutes." Celestria said as she placed Yukino down. "I'm really sorry about that. I hope I didn't interrupt anything."
"I won't lie, I do wish the timing was better." Yukino said. Not what she wanted to hear.
"He's pretty popular." Celestria said. "There are lots of girls that want to be with him. You might end up breaking some hearts."
"I'll feel bad, but the only one I don't want to hurt is Lucy." Yukino claimed and made Celestria feel even worst. "Still, I feel like Natsu and I really understand each other." All Celestria is hearing is that she shouldn't be with Natsu, Yukino should be. That made her a little hesitant to give the miraculous.
"Love for a friend. How lovely." Love Eater said as it caught up to them. It fired a beam at both of, but that was when Salamondra showed up and blocked the attack.
"The only one allowed to be a heartbreaker around here is Blondie. She does it to me all the time." Salamondra joked.
...
Taylor
Taylor was still sulking about how Celestria didn't give her a miraculous. She hoped, pleaded, and tried to show she was worthy. Celestria denied her every time and she just couldn't take it anymore.
"Taylor Allard!" She turned around and was faced with Black Wizard. "I've been watching you. You desire power, power to do as you please. You don't let anything get in the way of what you want. You're tenacious, ruthless, and so much more. You truly are special, but Celestria and Salamondra refuse to see it."
"Wha... What are you doing here?" Taylor questioned.
"I am here to fulfill your desire." Black Wizard. "Celestria doesn't respect you. She doesn't see what I see: a queen waiting to take her crown."
"You... You etheriouized my parents!" Taylor called.
"Only so you would see the truth. Celestria is never going to entrust you with a miraculous." Black Wizard said. "You want a miraculous, you can have one." He said as he showed her the Miracle Box with the miraculous, hers of any choice.
"How do you have that?!" Taylor questioned.
"That's not important." Black Wizard claimed. "I'm offering you what Celestria keeps denying you. You want a miraculous, you can now have anyone you want. There's also another option." He said as he took a tiara and placed it on the box. "I can make you even more powerful, more powerful than Celestria. I can make you what you were always meant to be: a queen meant to rule with an iron fist. Others will have to obey you now." He's playing with her feelings and it might be working. "You've been nothing but a loyal fan of Celestria. You've actually helped her. She said she would give you a miraculous, but never did. After everything you've done for her, what has she done for you?" Black Wizard was hitting it all hard as he had Taylor right where he wanted her.
"Nothing." Taylor said. "I'm better than everyone, but she refuses to see that. She thinks she's so great? Not for long." She said as she chose the tiara instead of the miraculous. Exactly what Black Wizard wanted. "You will release my parents, right?"
"Of course." Black Wizard said as he now has everything he needs. With just a snap of his fingers, he called back his etherious.
...
The Fight
"Celestria, whatever you have planned, better do it now." Salamondra said as the fight was getting serious.
"I'll just have to go for it." Celestria said as she pulled out the miraculous. "Yukino Agria, this is the miraculous of the phoe..." Everything suddenly stopped as the etherious flew out of the monster's earrings and Love Eater turned back into Aidan and Janet. That was strange as something like that has never happened before.
"What just happened?" Salamondra questioned.
"Why would Black Wizard call off the attack?" Celestria questioned, unaware of what's really coming.
...
Black Wizard
"As promised, they are now normal. Now for you..." Black Wizard said as he took a new etherious from his sword and infused it with dark power, placing it in Taylor's tiara.
"Queen Miraculous, I am now giving you the power to rule over others like a real queen. Even miraculous holders will do your bidding. In exchange..." Black Wizard said, but she silenced him.
"Their miraculous... You'll get them." Taylor said as she willingly accepted the power and became the queen he made her to be.
...
Lucy
Lucy was still able to fix everything Love Eater was able to destroy. Once it was over, she hurried back to Mavis to return the phoenix miraculous. However, Mavis was already gone and there was no sign of her.
"Oh no..." Lucy said as she was beginning to fear the worst. "What have I done, Stella?"
"Calm down, Lucy." Stella assured. "Master Mavis is smart. I'm sure everything is fine. Let's not assume the worst just yet."
"But if something did happen to her, it's my fault." Lucy said. She got too easily distracted and now she feels like she's losing everything.
...
Yukino
Since the battle was over, Yukino wasn't needed anymore. The only thing Celestria could do now was just let her go. Since she wasn't needed anymore, Yukino just remained by the river and waited for Natsu's return.
"Yukino!" Natsu called as he hurried back. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Yukino said.
"That's good." Natsu said.
"Yes, and I'm glad you're okay." Yukino said. "I was hoping the monster did go after me since it went after those...in love." Yukino decided now was the moment as she wrapped her arms around Natsu and leaned in to try and kiss him. Could she really have what Lucy doesn't?
...
Lucy
Lucy has had a long and dreadful day. It felt like she lost everything today. Her responsibilities as Celestria interfere with her love life, but her love life interferes with her being Celestria. Is she suppose to have one and not the other? Is this alll that awaits her.
"Lucy!" She looked to the side and saw Sting again. "Twice in one day. Lucky..." He was glad to see her again, but he instantly saw something was wrong. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah..." Lucy claimed, but she just couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "No, I'm not! I'm tired of the secrets! I'm tired of giving up things I want, tired of not getting I want, tired of not being myself!" She just couldn't hold it anymore. Her life as Celestria keeps interfering with her normal life, but she can't get what she wants either way. The price to pay when you're a superhero. Sting didn't get it, but he did comfort her as he wrapped his arms around her.
"It's okay, Lucy. I'm here." Sting assured. At least there's one person where Lucy can feel safe and secure with. It's just not who she wanted, but still feels nice.
