(Minerva's POV)

Once Sting brought Lucy in, I changed her clothes (above), and we ate a light breakfast. Leaving the guild hall, I led her to the forest and a small secluded pond in the middle of it.

Grabbing a couple of toys I already set up for us, we raced each other until the alarm on my lacrima went off. I scooped her up and tickled her while walking out of the forest. Soon, we were at my apartment, and I set her down for sleep in my bed. I sat down and read for a little while on the couch until I fell asleep myself.
