Alright Jelulu fans, this ones for you.

Fairy Tail is owned by Hiro.

Lucy had enough. She waited a very long, very trifling, very painful year alone. For anyone of her former guildmates to reach out to her. Being a writer for Socers Weekly although a dream, it was a lame dream. Lucy enjoyed her writing she really did, but she missed the action, the adventures, the camaraderie. Just writing it was no longer enough for her.

Lucy struck a deal with Jason, she was going off on an adventure and she would send him writings of things she came across as she went, and if it was good enough to be published her Lacrima account would gain a deposit. It was nearing the Grand Magic Games once again and Lucy couldn't stand the thought of even being in town with it happening. So she grabbed what was most important and stowed it away with Virgo, carried some necessities on her back, and sold everything else to give herself a little cushion.

Lucy had marked the different places on a map of Earthland that she wished to visit, first was a stop by Blue Pegasus to get some advice and help from the Thunder Legion. One of the only groups Lucy had actually gotten a hold of in their time apart.

The trip itself was pretty long from Crocus, so Lucy did her best to make her time well spent. Working on her own story, meditating, and doing basic work outs. In her almost full year away from the guild, although she still meditated and met up with her spirits on occasion her body had suffered. She wasn't constantly running for her life, or dodging attacks. So obviously she had some work to put in.

Two days and a half days flew past for Lucy, before she knew it she was walking out in the middle of the afternoon in the city where Blue Pegasus is. In her previous call with Ever, they had decided to meet up at a small cafe in town. Easily locating it Lucy sat to wait for her friends. It couldn't have been longer than twenty minutes before the other chairs at the tables were pulled out. Looking up she was happy to see Ever, Freed, Laxus and Bixlow.

They sat and ordered, each talking a bit about recent things. The team sharing some of the more interesting missions they had recently completed. By the time food had arrived the topic finally came up.

"Although we are very happy to meet you and see such a friendly face Miss Lucy, may I ask why you requested to meet with us?" Freed politely as ever inquired.

Lucy sheepishly scratches her cheek.

"Well to be completely honest. I'm going on an adventure." She says with a bright smile.

"And well..." Her finger doodles random lines on the table top as she stares at it... "You guys are really the only people I've been in contact with over the year, I tried to reach out to everyone but no one but your group responded..." She finsihes softly.

"Oh sheesh, what else do you expect from a bunch of reckless kids and drunkards Lucy. You much too good for them anyways." Ever tuts as she fans herself looking away form the table.

Even though it was an odd ball way to reassure Lucy she appreciated it none the less.

"Thanks Ever, so yeah I'm leaving. I wanted someone to know, and if possible I would like to ask for a little bit of help."

"Whatcha need Blondie?"

"Yeah What can we do for ya Cosplay Queen?" -Queen, Queen- His babies chirp.

"I uh, would like to ask if you could ward my bag for one Freed. I would prefer not to be pick pocketed on my travels and if you could make it a bit bigger would be great."

"Of course, may I see it?" He asks.

She silently hands it over.

"Also for the three of you, any advice about other countries? I want to visit different areas, specifically Bosco and Stella." She asks.

"Don't be so trusting." Ever immediately says.

"Honestly, I don't know much about Stella. I spent most of my excommunication in Bosco with Bixs family. It's a fun country very free, most people are helpful and honest. Sometimes too honest." Laxus states.

"Oh yeah! You would love Bosco! Maybe get your sexy panties out of a twist! If you go you should go see my father, I have a feeling he is someone you would like. Plus he'd take care of ya while you're there." Bixlow says.

"I'm not too sure how I feel about being a burden on your family Bixlow, but even knowing someone in a foreign country would be very helpful." Lucy admits.

"I'll call my dad tonight and let him know a cute blonde girl might meander there here in the next couple of months right?"

Nodding Lucy confirms.

"Yes, It should only take me about a week to get to Sevens capital Eight. Then I will probably spend a week or so there. I really want to look into their ancient history archives of rune magic, it is said they have to most extensive resarch. Then if I time it right, it'll take just over two weeks to reach the capital of Bosco. Where I plan to stay a couple of weeks because I want to visit the school there for celestial spirit summoners."

"Oh I've been to Eight, lovely amounts of knowledge locked up there on rune magic. You'll simply love it Miss Lucy, talk to a Mr. Rhyme and tell him I sent you" Freed chimes in.

"Thanks Freed!" Lucy's says.

"All done with your bag too."

Lucy grabs the bag, noticing how much lighter it feels. Once again thanking the green haired man. The rest of the afternoon Lucy enjoys her small comfort around friends for the time she can. By that evening they had to depart way, four back to their guild and one back to the train station to catch the next train to Eight.

By the time the trained rolled up in Eight it was early morning and Lucy was going stir crazy. She had never spent a whole week on the train but man was she so over it.

Quickly shuffling off the train Lucy was welcomed to the city with lots of hustle and bustle. Many men and women walking around in robes and almost toga like looking outfits. The country itself was quite dry, but know for is sacred knowledge. Mostly of the creation of things, for they had a large population of researchers and scribes who documented all sorts of information. Knowingly the country itself was usually very calm but did not take well to nosey outsiders or those who thrist for knowledge in the wrong way.

Luckily Lucy had a specific respect for the country itself, even going as far as learning the tongue. Plus there was that push from Freed on who he knows to get her where she wanted to go. She was here with one thing on mind, to expand her rune knowledge and to look into the details of writing new spells. For Lucy had some ambitions which her magic, she just needed to know how to go about it. And you could only learn so much in Fiore.

As soon as Lucy was able she shed her foreign clothing and bought herself a beautiful white robe that held iridescent threads weaved here and there throughout it. It looped over one shoulder cascading down her curves and one side stopping at the top of her right thigh while the other dropping down almost to her knee twisted in the middle. Her hair was left down in soft waves, adorned by a silver circlet that rested on her forehead. She had asked around to find in their customs silver was unattended, gold was looking for attention and bronze was attended.

Their culture didn't hold such ideals of marriages, for their people were always looking to learn more. In some ways to outsiders it could sound crude and unromantic but as a people their one true love was knowledge. Some of the cities along the Sevens boarders has tweaks in each one of their customs, for more this or that. Really they tried to keep things such as love and relationships pretty lax. It was when knowledge came into the frame did they have very strict rules. If those rules were broken someone could easily be sentenced to death.

The idea itself made Lucy shudder, she would do her best to keep a low profile for her week there. Gain what knowledge she could and then move on over to Bosco.

Lucy had found her Mr. Rhyme by the end of her first day there, he had reintroduced himself as Alexander. He stood only about 5'6, rich golden like locks falling wavy to just below his ears. His cobalt eyes were steady and narrowed at most times. But when he smiled, anyone would swoon with the dimples that appeared in his cheeks. He was titled as a keeper of the books in their great library. He was a very stoic man who often times reminded Lucy of Freed, when she had brought that up a seemingly soft but sad smile had taken over the mans face. She left it alone after that.

Between her time spent face deep into books, Lucy spent the rest of it wandering around the city. It was easier to blend in than she thought it would be, most reidants sporting lighter hair and eyes, just with deeper tans than her own.

By the time her week had come to an end she had filled almost four journals full of notes. Half a journal full of stories to send Jason and a very unlikely bond with Alexander. She was sad to say good bye to the town and it's customs, but more than excited to meet some of Bixlows family over is Bosco.

So I couldn't help it, I just seem drawn to the Thunder Legion. Plus this story needed just a bit a back story, trust me it really will be a brief visit to Bosco before Lucy is lured to Stella where the main plot will unfold. It will be exciting trust me. Follow, review and favorite. I'll be back before you know it. Lots of love. Write on!
