Lucy's Pov Still, 

It had seemed I blacked out. I was opening my eyes to see I was in a camp set up in the woods. Brandish rushed to my side right away. "You are ok" she sounded worried as she ended up pulling me into a hug. I hugged back slightly confused from what I learnt and what had happened. "Sorry to worry you" I only replied as Aquarius had asked me to keep what I had just learnt to myself. Brandish pulled away from the hug offering me anything to eat or drink. I denied to her as I got up and looked around.

I noticed Larcade and Dimaria was not here but their stuff was here. As I turned to Brandish about to ask she had answered the question before I had the chance to ask. "Larcade was able to sense magic so they went to check it out" Brandish had informed me as I nodded as then and there a wave coming from the wind of two different kinds of magic clashing had pushed me and Brandish onto the ground. I was able to tell it was Dimaria's magic. Brandish and I looked at each other worried before getting up.

We then headed through the woods away from the camp. Both of us were running as fast as we could. My eyes had widen in pure shock to see Erza clashing swords with Dimaria. Both glaring at each other while Larcade was fighting Gray, Juvia and Happy. The fights were both deadly and powerful the waves nearly pushing me and Brandish to the ground once more. I soon pulled out Aries key as I summoned her fast. "Aries can you help stop this" I spoke as she nodded and had wool coming from her hands already.

"I can try" she spoke sending a huge wave of wool in between both battles. Larcade and Dimaria were pushed one side of the wall as the Fairy Tail members were on the other side. "Thank you Aries" I then smiled at my spirit who smiled at me. She was still shaky and shy toward others. She even still said 'sorry' a ton but me and her bonded lodes. Aries returned to her world as I put her key back with the others. "Dimaria what did I say about starting fights?" Brandish nearly shouted putting her hands on her hips.

Everyone was looking toward me and Brandish. Erza, Gray, Juvia and Happy were all looking at me and Brandish shocked. Larcade was shaking his head sighing as Dimaria was pouting. "I more shocked the fact that the ground is still alright" I then mumbled as Brandish looked at me with a kinda scary glare as I shut up right away. Brandish walked over to Dimaria grabbing her ear and yelling at her. Dimaria was shouting at her as I shook my head much like Larcade was doing also. "Lucy you are with them?" Happy asked shocked.

I then looked at the small group of Fairy Tail in front of me. A smile went onto my face seeing them all again. Erza's hair was slightly longer as she had some of her hair covering her right eye. Happy looked the same along with Gray. Juvia also looked the same but I had noticed that she and Gray were close. I meant very close. I was able to see the two were much closer since I last saw them all. "Yeah. We all kinda became friends along with I owe Larcade for helping me out" I then answered as Aries wool started to shrink so everyone was able to see each other.

"Brandish stop hurting Dimaria" I then nearly shouted as Brandish let go of Dimaria's ear that was now bright pink as she was rubbing it in pain. Her eyes watering slightly as Larcade was laughing slightly at her. Brandish smirked slightly looking toward Dimaria who was thanking me. My four family members were looking shocked even more as I smiled at them more as then it hit me. I had forgotten to send letters. "Oh Happy, I am so sorry I forgot to write letters" I then spoke as Happy didn't reply but flew into my chest.

He was hugging me and crying as I hugged back smiling. He soon started shouting on not to worry him or the guild like that again. Dimaria, Brandish and Larcade were watching smiling. I was so happy to see Fairy Tail members again. I was more happy to see Happy, Gray and Erza. Us lot were very close with being in the same team. "Wait Erza, are you not guild master?" I then asked remembering as Erza, Gray and Juvia all walked over to me. Erza was smiling right at me as she placed her hand on my shoulder.

"I became Co-Master with Mavis plus you are my little sister Lucy. I would drop any meeting with the council to help you" Erza then spoke as I smiled more at her. Happy pulled away from the hug flying next to us as he was talking about how much the guild had changed. Gray was asking what was with the new hair as Juvia was hitting his arm each time. It felt amazing to see them again. It felt warm to hear their voices but while I was so glad to be in front of them again my heart was breaking.

Hearing the old team talking and laughing together just made me remember Natsu. I thought I had moved on by then. I was wrong. Just seeing the Fairy Tail symbol on Erza's armor had my heart in pain. My memories of Natsu and the other Dragon Slayers. Juvia, Gray and Happy were all laughing and joking about the guild. I had a smile on my face. Most of it was real but some felt fake. Felt forced as Erza looked at me. She saw through it as she pulled me into a hug. I was very shocked at first.

"We miss the Dragon Slayers too Lucy" Erza spoke getting Happy, Gray and Juvia all to be quiet. I hugged back, my eyes were watering slightly as Erza hugged me slightly tighter. "We miss you too" Erza spoke as I forced myself not to cry. My eyes were watering but I was able to hold back tears as I was smiling. "I do miss all of you guys too but before I can even think about coming back I am to help Larcade" I then spoke pulling away from the hug but I had grabbed Erza's hands.

She was looking at me slightly shocked as I was smiling brightly at her. "I miss everything about Fairy Tail and I have so much to tell all of you but I owe Larcade and I want to help him" I then explained as Erza was smiling right at me. Gray and Juvia were smiling at us both also. Happy looked slightly upset. "We will always have open doors to you Lucy" Erza spoke as I felt a tear escape and go down my cheek. "I personally would prefer to know Larcade and Dimaria more before letting you go with them" Erza then spoke.

Sounding like an older sister like always. I shook my head slightly and laughed at the same time. "Brandish you trust that you all will keep Lucy safe?" Erza then asked her voice loudly and more serious as Gray went slightly pale. They was all still the same. "We will" Brandish answered as Erza closed her eyes nodding. She then mover her head toward the three friends I was with. Her eyes opened as her face and tone was now serious and deadly. I felt myself go pale as Juvia was hiding behind Gray.

"I do say this she gets hurt from any of you or if any of you betray her and then you will have to deal with my wraith" Erza then spoke as you heard by her voice she meant it. Dimaria and Brandish both went slightly pale as Larcade was smiling slightly and nodded. Erza then turned her head back to me as her tone went back to the happy her she was. "Please keep in contact and be free to ask for any help" Erza then spoke as I nodded. Erza let go of my hands looking toward the other Fairy Tail members.

Juvia was smiling as Gray pushed forward as he went in front of me. "Nah that ain't sitting me" he spoke, shocking us all. He even got Erza shocked and confused as Gray was looking right at me. He had his own serious face. "You got two options right now Lucy. One let me drag you all they way back to Fairy Tail or two let me join you lot" Gray then spoke getting Happy, Juvia, Erza and I very shocked while going 'EH!?!?' at the same time. Gray was very serious about this. I saw he was.

The others didn't know anything about this. "So what you pick?" Gray then asked as took me a second to snap out of my shocked state as I knew there was no third option. "Fine you can tag along" I then spoke sighing as Dimaria and Brandish were the ones to go 'EH!?!?'. I held back a laugh hearing it. "Juvia stands by her Gray-Sama and will join Lucy!" Juvia nearly shouted rushing to Gray's side and hugged his arm. Gray smiled at Juvia as she was smiling and looking excited. It then hit me she was no longer calling me 'Love Rival'.

"WAIT ARE YOU TWO A THING?" I then shouted in pure shock as Gray's face went red as he used his free hand to rub the back of his neck. Juvia was giggling at my reaction and nodded. "Juvia is now and forever Gray-Sama's" Juvia nearly shouted in pure joy as I was jumping up and down clapping and fangirling. I turned into Mira in a way. "Finally Gray grew some balls" I then joked as Gray glared at me slightly as Erza was laughing and smiling while watching. Happy then spoke about joining also.

"I do wish to join the group but sadly cannot. I have to get back to Levy and Lisanna. If any of you need Fairy Tail's help just let us know" Erza spoke smiling at me one last time before she turned around and started to walk. For a second she was walking but then turned into her Black-Wing-Armor and flew off fast. I turned my head to Larcade, Brandish and Dimaria. "I explain now there was going to be no choice as if I said no they would of kidnapped me" I then informed them as Juvia had then hugged my arm.

"Lucy knows Juvia and Gray-Sama to well" Juvia giggled as Brandish was smiling toward us as Dimaria was sighing and muttering about protecting her 'Randy'. "That is fine let us go pack up camp" Larcade then spoke as we all headed back toward the camp area that I woken up in. Happy and Gray were talking about how powerful Dimaria was to keep up with Erza without trying. Dimaria had smirked as the three talked about how battles after that. Juvia was speaking to Brandish in the end about different types of magic.

Larcade looked toward me once and awhile as my own mind was in two. One part was in pure joy but the other was reminding me of Natsu. I had to use this in a way to move forward. 

I was happy in a way to have Fairy Tail join the team.
