Leo and Lucy first traveled to the Pisces star the next day. Lucy recalled what she learned about the Zodiac and star in her studies. This zodiac consisted of two spirits, a mother and a son. They either can be in their fish form which look a lot like giant koi fish with bodies like long eels. One of them was white while the other was black with their zodiac symbol between their eyes. The other form was their humanoid form. They wore aquatic themed armor. The mother was apparently so beautiful that Leo commented it "makes you forget she has a child" which Lucy tried to ignore. The son had an inverted color scheme as his mother but still looked handsome. In their human forms, they have strong water power like Aquarius. But bigger physical damage can be caused by their fish form.

"I still find it ironic that Pisces's weakness is water," Lucy commented.

"I agree, especially when their power is related to water. So you won't see as much it as you expect. The water star is mainly Aquarius," Leo replied.

They arrived at Pisces' palace and saw the mother and son talking with some other people. The place was crowded with people walking around.

"Did we come at a bad time?" Lucy asked.

Leo shook his head, "No, they are working to upgrade their weapons and defense systems. So they need to get the materials and the right people to work on them."

"I see." Lucy was glad to see the Pisces citizens working so diligently. They don't even notice that their princess is in the room.

"Don't worry. I already let Pisces know you were coming over." Leo lead the princess towards the Pisces mother and son.

They were done talking with their workers and turned to see the two. "Princess Lucy and Prince Leo!" Mother Pisces exclaimed. Her slightly loud announcement made some of the workers to look over and become surprised. The mother and son bowed. "It is an honor to finally meet you, princess. My, you have grown into a beautiful woman."

The son then said, "Sorry for the crowded palace. These days have been really busy, but we're trying to strengthen our military defense."

Lucy replied, "Oh no worries. Since I didn't get to see many people when I was young, I love how I can see more people now. Every zodiac celestial spirit has been kind to me so far."

"I'm glad you finally can visit each of the zodiacs," the Son Pisces said. "Hopefully you get to see us more often. We do have a key for you so you can summon us whenever you need us. But we heard from others that we can get you do something first to earn it."

"Yeah whatever you guys want, within reason of course, but I'll try my best," Lucy smiled widely.

The mother and son looked at each other with a smirk. Then the mother spoke, "Then let's take this outside."

They walked outside where less people were. Leo whispered to Lucy's ear, "I have a bad feeling about this."

"Why?" Lucy asked. Leo didn't respond but gulped. He had an idea of what was going to happen.

Pisces changed to their huge twin fish form. Lucy was shocked of their fish size, "Whoa! They really are as huge as I read them to be!" The two fish danced in the sky before charging towards the princess and prince. "Aah! Leo!" the blonde screamed. But both of them were scooped into one of the fish's mouth; The mother caught the princess and the son took the prince. They didn't harm them. It was more like a sudden ride inside their mouths. After a few seconds, they released them gently. Both of them were drenched with water while they lied down.

"Not this again," Lucy said, referring to the incident with Aquarius.

"That was a quite a ride, huh Princess?" Leo laughed.

She frowned at him and stood up. "Well, I guess so. But I wished I didn't have to be wet afterwards."

Leo snickered from her comment. The princess then immediately followed her statement, "Stop thinking of dirty thoughts!"

Pisces returned back to their human form. The son first said, "Sorry if we scared you. But it's part of the thrill of the ride."

"Here's our key." The mother handed her the Pisces key. "We trust you to use it wisely, though please call us whenever you need us. It's the least we can do from that day you were born and saved us."

Lucy smiled, "No problem. Thank you for the key." She put it safely in her pocket.

"It's time for us to go then. Nice seeing you guys again," Leo said and waved. Pisces went back to their busy palace, while Leo used his Regulus power to dry them. Again, the light felt so warm. She closed her eyes to feel all of its energy. Once he was done, Lucy opened her eyes to see him staring back at her sweetly.

Blushing, she quickly looked away. "Uhm, let's go then!"

"Sure, but while we do that, care to explain why you called out my name that time? It was as if you expected your shining prince to save you." Leo smirked while Lucy's face was getting redder and redder.

"Y-You're supposed to protect me, right?!" she stuttered. "I thought I was in danger, so I just called the only person around me that I could trust."

"True, but you didn't do that when Aquarius attacked us. Is it because you think of me as your prince more?" He emphasized the word "your."

Lucy responded embarrassingly, "S-shut up! Let's just go!" She crossed her arms and pouted.

Leo chuckled but led the way to Aries's star. It was so pink and white. It looked like a cotton candy star to Lucy, which made her eyes sparkle. The prince noticed her reaction and stared at her cuteness. Once they arrived, they found Aries at the palace garden. She wore a white wool dress and separate wool sleeves and collar. She had pink hair and twisted brown horns.

"Ah, Princess Lucy and Prince Leo!" She quickly bowed in front of them. "It is very nice to see you two. I can't describe how excited I am to finally see you, Princess. Sorry for not noticing sooner."

Lucy made her raise her head. "It's alright. No need for the formalities. It's nice to meet you too," she smiled.

Aries put her closed hand near her mouth and looked nervous, "Uhm, I hope it looks nice around here. I'm so sorry if it doesn't. There's not much to see besides the abundant pink wool on this star."

The princess looked at Leo and said quietly, "Is she usually this nervous and apologetic?"

He whispered back, "Yeah, she's our shyest zodiac, but she has a strong heart. She's super nice."

Lucy nodded and spoke to Aries again, "I really like it here. It's probably my favorite star to look at so far."

Aries gasped but wore a big smile, "Thank you, Princess Lucy! That means so much! The people here and I try to maintain it as much as we can."

"Well you're doing a wonderful job doing so," Lucy smiled back. "By the way, is there something you would like from me for your key? I would love to have you as a comrade."

"Oh, I was going to give it to you anyways. There's not much I want," she responded as her voice got quieter.

Lucy walked in front of her and gave her a gentle hug. Aries, even Leo, were surprised. The ram girl blushed so hard that her face turned red. As she hugged her, the princess said softly, "It's okay, Aries. Just say whatever is on your mind. I won't judge you." Lucy pulled back and waited patiently for her response.

Once Aries refocused, she took a deep breath before letting it all out as her words sounded like one, "I have waited to meet you since the day you were born. But of course we couldn't yet. However, I wanted to make sure the celestial spirit world has been peaceful from that incident on. Your light of hope inspired me to take action to create a better world, but I'm still shy as before, but I'm trying my best. I hope we can be friends and see each other more. As for my wish, I really want a tan! Sorry for my wish to sound so ridiculous!" After that she looked back and hid her face.

Lucy and Leo were speechless. The princess understood the majority of what she said. But a tan?

Leo responded, "Oh, that's not a problem. We can't get tans in the celestial world and you don't want to go the human world without permission. Lucy can summon you to the human world once we go there, which means we will need to take a rain check for your request. Is that okay with you?"

Aries turned her head back and put her hands at her chest. She gave a sweet smile back, "Yes, of course. I look forward to it!" Aries gave her key to Lucy, which she put in her pocket.

"Thank you so much, Aries. I promise you for that tan!" the blonde winked.

Aries said, "You're very welcome. You really are as bright as your star." It was a compliment in this world to say that, depending on how bright the stars were. The Royal Star was the brightest, while the Zodiac stars were second brightest. So to say someone was as bright as those stars meant their personalities and aura were pure.

The princess and prince left the star to their last stop of the day: Taurus. Leo had some concerns which he warned Lucy about. "So I'm not sure if you already know about Taurus's nature."

"Hm? I know his abilities, but I don't know who he is as a person," Lucy responded.

"Well, he might say some... preverted jokes and just be a... pervert in general," Leo said hesitantly.

The blonde opened her eyes widely. "Oh, is that so?" Then she remembered she has her whip from Virgo. "I have my fleuve d'étoiles with me for people like that. So that should help me."

Leo was surprised from her reaction. "I'll remember not to mess with you then." Then he grabbed her shoulders from behind and said to her ear, "But I like my princess feisty too."

Lucy jumped a little and stepped forward to look at him with a stern look, "Keep that up and you're going to regret testing me!"

Raising his hands to surrender, Leo just smiled at her. He was having too much fun teasing her all day. Then they continued on their way to the Taurus star. When they found the muscular humanoid that resembled a bull, Lucy immediately felt uncomfortable. Taurus was drooling over her feminine body and gorgeous look.

"Mooo! My Princess, I have seen pictures of your body, but you look much sexier in person," Taurus said as his mouth drooled and his eyes surveying her whole body.

Words couldn't describe how uncomfortable she felt. Leo stood in front of her to get the bull's attention. "Alright, I think that's enough eye-candy for you. Please tell Princess Lucy what you would like her to do for your key, and do make it appropriate," the prince said, narrowing his eyes.

Even though Taurus can be a pervert, he still had sensible mind when he needs to. He rather not dishonor the prince and princess. So he recompose himself and summoned his key in his hand. "Seeing the utterly beauuutiful princess is all I need. The key is yours. Summon me anytime you need some loooving!" he winked and handed the key.

"Uh, sure," Lucy stuttered. "I'll keep that in mind."

Leo put his arm around her and said (loud enough so the muscle cow could hear too), "Lucy only needs to summon me if she needs any love. I am her prince after all."

Taurus laughed, "Don't worry, Prince Leo. I'm not taking your princess. I really hope you could stay here longer, but I understand if you have other royal things to do."

They did have to go back to the palace so Lucy could finish up her other chores. After putting the key away, Lucy followed Leo. She did notice his slight jealousy and felt that perhaps he really did like her. On their way back, Lucy asked, "When we were with Taurus, were you... jealous?"

Leo responded, "Hm? Oh, I guess I may had have lost some of my composure there. But who wouldn't get jealous if someone was trying to flirt with their princess?"

"Geez, there's really no reason to be jealous," she rolled her eyes.

They arrived at the palace, where Leo prepared to see her off. "I can't wait for you to meet my star," he said.

"I'm a bit worried of what you will ask for."

"Don't worry. I won't force you to do anything you wouldn't like."

"Then I'll mark your words for that," she said, then turning around to walk back home. But deep down, she also couldn't wait to see his home.

Shadows saw them depart and traveled back to the Black Spirit World. They reported where Lucy has gone to already so they knew when she would travel to the Earth world.

The Queen announced, "The Eclips-s-se Gate has reached to the Earth World by the help of s-s-some fellow Celestial Spirit Mages. Once that black wizard Zeref uses-s-s it to s-s-save his poor little brother, then everything will go exactly as-s-s planned.
