Lucy's POV
We walk closer to the cells and give each other a nod before parting ways. I would use Gemini as a distraction while using Virgo to help Wendy free the prisoners. A pretty flawless plan if I say so myself, heh.

I whisper 'Gemini' as Wendy quietly moves towards the cells. She then finds a key and unlocks the cell door. A guard hears this and turns around. "Hey! Who goes there?" Gemini steps infront of the guard, discretely covering Wendy. "M-me, sorry I got lost." Gemini stutters. "Okay then.... back to the cell!" The guard starts to push Gemini back to the cell when (he? She?) responds. "No thanks!" Gemini jumps back and gets ready to attack. "Lucy... KICK!" Gemini attacks the guard. Tsk tsk. That's supposed to be my line!

The guard suddenly speaks. "Help! We have an outbreak of prisoners! Send backup!" I freeze. They have a telepathy system too?! Crap! The others! I think quickly and sneak up behind the guard, whip in hand. I smack him hard and he falls to the ground, unconscious. "Wendy!" I shout. "Have they all escaped?!"

"Yeah! I'll go with them to make
sure they get back, you go tell the others!"

"Got it!" I close both gates and sprint back the way we came not too long ago.

Once I arrive I see most of the enemy guild mates knocked out and bounded together. "Guys, we got them!" I exclaim. "Alright, I'll contact the magic counsel. Let's go boys!" Erza commands. Natsu and Gray nod, and we head back to the small town.

"How could we ever repay you?" The mayor rings his hands. "It's fine, you already paid us.." I trail off. "Nonsense! Your the 5th guild we've contacted, and the only ones able to complete the task!" The Mayor proclaims. "Wow, must be some lame wizards!" Natsu silently chuckles. "Cut it out!" I elbow him. "S-Sorry" he squeaks. (Idek) 

"But that was barely anything!" The Mayor frowns. "Well, we won't take any extra cash, that's just the way our guild works." Erza explains. "It's decided then. We'll throw you a party!" The Mayor cheers. "Wh-Whaat?" We all look dumbfoundedly at the Mayor. "B-but sir, you mustn't trouble yourself over us, we're fine." Erza replies, shocked. "Nonsense! I insist! Plus, if your really up tight about it, you can say it's part of your job!" The Mayor grins. "Well, I guess declining would be quite rude. Alright then, we accept your offer." Erza says. Like little boys, Natsu and Gray cheer. Wendy and I chuckle at the boys' childish behavior, but sigh in relief as we don't have to go travel. 

The party was absolutely beautiful. The town square was coated from head to toe in yellow fairy lights. There was food, laughter, music, and friendly townsfolk who wanted to thank us and wish us well. As expected, Natsu is eating the fire, wowing the villagers; and Gray and Erza are eating regular food. Well, strawberry cake for Erza, of course. Wendy was given a new set of clothes, which she adored. Everyone seemed to be having fun, but I had other things on my mind; specifically Natsu. I mean he was so close to dying. How could I not be?

"Hey, Lady?" I look down and see the Mayors daughter trying to get my attention. "Oh, hey." I turn to her. She looks down awkwardly. "W-well, everyone seems to be having fun except for you, and I feel bad.." She pouts. "Aww, that's so sweet." I smile. "I'll be fine." I put my hand on her shoulder. "Anyways, I-I got you something. I found it in the river the other day and realized it's a celestial key. I can't use it though, so..." The little girl pulls out a key from her coat pocket. The small key is a shining gold color and about a few inches long. The top part is shaped like a vase, with a white oval in the front. On the oval are two squiggly shaped lines. The key isn't any normal key; its the key of the water bearer, Aquarius.

I can't remember the last time I help Aquarius' key in my hands. Oh yeah, when I had to break it to save my friends. I still never got over it. I grabbed the key tightly in my hand and hugged the little girl gently. "I-I hope it's enough..." the girl stutters. "It's more than enough..." I start to tear up. 

"...Thank you..."

Surprise, Surprise hehehe. Hope you enjoy, luv u, bai.
