"Please tell me this is some kind of joke" Lucy deadpanned, staring blankly at the sweating Levy.

"Come on Lu! Don't make this hard on me!" The small bluenette begged with a small nervous laugh.

"Why wouldn't I? You all decided this without once talking to me about it." The blonde crossed her arms on her chest while looking down at the small bookworm.

"Because we knew you would be against the idea!" Levy argued as the two girls walked down the busy streets of Magnolia. Merchants selling as much as possible while kids played under the sun.

"Of course I would be against the idea of starting a guild war, Levy" The blonde frowned. "The council is going to flip. I thought that at least you would be smart enough to understand this is a bad idea." She sighed

"Of course I know this is a bad idea" Levy scoffed feeling somewhat insulted. "But we can't just let them get away with hurting you and the boys. Besides if we manage to prove they started it, there shouldn't be a problem"

As sweet as she was, Levy McGargen was a Fairy tail wizard through and through. An unpredictable and cunning fairy.

"Still violence won't solve anything and you know it" Lucy had seen enough violence for a lifetime. Levy giggled, the grocery bags she had in her arms almost falling to the ground in the process.

"You are right, but I'm sure it will make Jet and Droy feel better. They both have been itching for a fight" Lucy let out a small laugh remembering her friend's faces, they both wanted revenge on a certain dragon slayer.

"How about we talk about more serious things instead?" Levy asked with a straight face, her hold tightening on the bag in her arms. "Did you finish writing the seventh chapter of your novel?" Both girls looked at each other in silence for a few seconds before beginning to laugh loudly, earning a few curious looks.

"Don't ever change Levy" The two grocery bags in Lucy's hands almost fell as her whole body shook from laughter. "I'm serious! I want to know" The smaller fairy whined pulling out her best puppy dog face.

"I'm almost finished with it, but if I'm being honest I didn't have much time to write with all the mission I've been taking lately"

In her previous life, her novel had probably been her best accomplishment. It was more than just receiving an award or a big amount of money. That book was her story, their adventure. Everything was in there, her emotions, her adventures, her most personal thoughts, even her enemies...

This time it was different, the story wouldn't be the same and it somehow broke her heart.

"Awn that's too bad! I really want to read it!"

At the end of the day, it was all the same. Same Fairy tail, same enemies, everything is exactly the same... Except for her, nothing had changed except for her. She wasn't the same as she was back then and that's what changes the story. For the best or for the worst

It almost felt like burying a part of herself, the old Lucy was dead. That didn't mean she wanted to forget. Never, she owed that much to herself. That is why using a spell, that could remodel any inanimate object by using the caster's memory, she recreated her novel.

"I know and I already promised you, you would be the first to read it!" Some things really don't change do they?

She wasn't stupid enough to leave it somewhere it could be found. That book held some information about the future, after all, so she hid it in her room while masking it's presence with her magic.

This was supposed to be all, hide the book and never talk about it again. Seeing Levy again screwed that for her. Before she could stop herself, she was writing once again. The story about a conflicted girl who got a second chance that she didn't deserve.

She wasn't sure if she would ever try to publish that novel.

"You better! Talking about books, think I could borrow the ones I saw in your collection about basic magic?" Lucy raised an eyebrow at the slightly surprising question

"Sure I don't mind, but why if you don't mind me asking?" Levy blushed before looking away. "I was thinking about learning a secondary type of magic, maybe teleportation or speed magic like Jet!.." She fell silent for a bit.

"I-I know that my script magic while being useful isn't the strongest, I'm not stupid, I know I can never be as strong as Natsu or Erza, but... I want to help the guild, even if just a little" Levy's voice was as cheery as always, but there was a hint of desperation.

"...You help more than you know Levy" Lucy let her gaze fall on the guild's building in the distance, feeling Levy look at her intensely. "You always are there to cheer us up and let's be honest, most of the guild is all brawls and no brains" Levy laughed at the truth of that statement.

"You balance that Levy, you are right, your strength isn't in the power of your punch or magic. It's in your smiles and that brain of yours, that's not something you or anyone else should spit on" There was a small moment of silence, both girls looking at their beloved guild. "But if you want to learn a new form of magic, then maybe I could help you?"

"You always know what to say don't you Lucy?" The blonde simply smiled slightly at her friend.

"I do aim to please m'lady" The celestial wizard playfully bowed. "How about I escort you back at Fairy hills after dropping the groceries at the guild?" Levy giggled, her eyes twinkling in amusement.

"I would like nothing more my kind knight in shining armor~" They finally arrived at the -for once- empty guild building. Before putting all of the supplies in the kitchen -that is considered a sacred place only accessible to Mira and sometimes Levy or Laki. The rest of the guild considered too destructive. The two fairies then start their small journey to the Fairy hills dorms, talking about literature -what did you expect really?-.

"Aw man! It looks like it's about to rain!" Levy complains while looking at the sky that was clouding at a fast pace. "Yeah... Looks like it..." A single raindrop falls on her cheek and Lucy cannot help the nostalgic smile on her lips.

Juvia...

"Don't just stand there! We need to get cover!" Levy took her wrist in her small hand before dragging the dazed blonde away. However, before the smaller girl had the chance to get them both inside the nearest store, Lucy spotted a familiar woman walking towards them. The sight alone made her walk a little slower.

"Drip drip drop..." The closer Juvia approached them, the more rain fell on them. "What..? Who are you?" Levy asked accusingly the weirdly dressed woman.

"...drip drop... Juvia is the rain woman, it always is with her." She explained, her face neutral. "And what kind of women are you two?" Both fairies looked at each other, Levy's face full of curiosity,

"The book-loving kind" Lucy swore she saw some emotion similar to curiosity shine in Juvia's eyes at Levy's answer. "How...peculiar, most women do not like Juvia very much. You two seem very strange...I must go now, a pleasure to meet the both of you"

"Wait, what?! How are we weird?" Levy asked clearly being offended. "And there is nothing wrong with us loving books!" The fiery girl stated as Juvia slowly walked past them.

"Non! Non! Non! Juvia mon amie! You must not shy away from the task at hand!" A figure suddenly materialized next to them, Levy squealing a little in surprise.

"No Monsieur Sol." Juvia slowly said, turning around to face them. "You see, it seems that this girl is our cible" He leaned closer to the water mage while pointing the blonde with his chin lightly.

"I see... So she is the one..." Blank deep blue eyes met with Lucy's light brown ones and before she could stop herself, she gave Juvia a smile. Forgetting about Sol, Levy, where and when... This seemed to destabilize the young woman who quickly hardened herself.

"What do you mean by target? " Levy asked her hand clenching around Lucy's thin wrist. "Ah! Pardonnez-moi! I forgot to tell you my name, I am Sol of the Element four. Also known as Sol of the earth, but it would be better of you to call me Monsieur Sol!"

"My dear companion here is named Juvia of the great sea! She is also a part of the Element four of Phantom Lord" Sol did some weird hand gestures in Juvia's direction while introducing her, Levy tensing.

"To answer your previous question mademoiselle, we were sent here on a mission you see! To collect your friend here and bring her back at the guild at once" He darkly grinned as Levy frowned.

"No way in hell you creeps!" The fiery fairy glared as Lucy and Juvia simply looked at each other, Lucy smiling while Juvia frowned, her blue eyes shining in confusion. Levy tugged Lucy closer to her small body, her eyes shooting lightning to the two Phantom Lord's wizards.

"Levy." Lucy gently put a calming hand on the smaller girl's shoulder. "Calm down. As for you two..." The blonde then turned to the two phantoms with a small smile. "How about you explain to us exactly what does Phantom Lord want with me, I'm sure we can all come to an agreement"

This caused all three wizards to freeze in shock for a few seconds. "You can't be serious Lucy! Those guys attacked you and destroyed the guildhall!"

"Non! Non! Non! Both these offenses were Gajeel's doing, although we both were with him in spirit!" Sol chuckled making Levy glare harder. "You bastard!"

"Is this really necessary, Monsieur Sol? Let's just take the girl and go back to the guild." Juvia emotionlessly stated making Lucy slightly wince. "Don't even think about it you bit-" Before Levy could finish her insult, both fairies found themselves in two separate water bubbles.

Lucy immediately held her breath as water surrounded her, training with Aquarius for the past few months made her a pretty capable swimmer and she could hold her breath underwater for a long amount of time. Levy, however could not.

The small girl refused to let go of her wrist even as she began to fall into unconsciousness, stubborn she was. Lucy's smile finally fell as Levy fought against herself, trying to stay conscious. The blond's eyes narrowed and seemingly darkened as she glared at the two phantoms.

Both wizards froze once they sensed the dark aura from the previously peaceful blonde. Her dark honey-colored eyes were narrowed dangerously at them, their color almost black. Their eyes widened as a bright blue unfamiliar tattoo drew itself on her collarbones, her simple green shirt had became slightly transparent because of the water making it easy to see the drawing that somehow radiated of pure magical power.

And then things went downhills.

Both water locks exploded, water flying everywhere. "Wh-what..? How..?" Juvia dumbly stared at the water at her feet as Monsieur Sol began panicking. Both fairies fell, Lucy landed on her feet and caught the unconscious Levy before she could fall on the ground. An arm around her waist easily supporting the light girl, her other hand checking her pulse.

"Why?" Both phantoms tensed further as the blonde gently sat Levy against the closest wall and began to walk straight towards them. "Why do you people always choose goddamn violence over nothing, instead of trying to talk? Is it really that hard to understand that unnecessary violence will never solve anything?"

"Believe me or not, I would have come with you peacefully and discussed the matter like civilized people. And yet you chose to act like savage animals, attacking without reason, hurting innocent people..." Against their will, both Juvia and Sol looked at the unconscious blue-haired fairy.

"Then I guess I'll have to return the favor." Before they had time to think, the blonde fairy had already kicked Sol into the wall and given a powerful punch to Juvia's stomach. The water mage fell to the floor to her knees looking up at the blonde in horror.

"How..? Juvia is made of water, how does this hurt?" Lucy brushed away the regret remembering herself that she would soon have her Juvia back. "That was a punch infused with solid magic energy, so it didn't pass through the water." She explained before gently putting her hand over the girl's ocean eyes, her palm glowing a light green color.

"Sweet dreams" When Lucy took her hand away, the rain woman slowly fell down on the ground. The blonde woman sighed before gently turning around and lifting Juvia in her arms 'princess style'

"Think you could help me and transport Levy?" Lucy's voice carried out in the seemingly empty alley. It was silent for a few seconds before slow footsteps were heard.

"I thought you were supposed to go with them and I was just supposed to follow you after bringing Levy back home. This was your idea." Lucy glared slightly at the figure emerging from the shadows.

"I know, but I changed my mind." Levy delicately was lifted into strong arms before being put on the figure's shoulder like a sack of potatoes. "You mean you lost your temper" A deep chuckle left his covered lips while Lucy's pulled into a frown.

"... Just help me bring them both at my place, they should be knocked out for at least an hour" His green eyes, that were so dark they looked black, twinkled with barely contained amusement. "So bossy"

"And they call you fairy tail's most mysterious member. A tease, that's what you are" She accused the male as she walked closer to him. He didn't deny the accusation, simply putting his free hand on her shoulder and teleporting the four of them at Lucy's apartment.

I'm aware that it's been awhile and I'm sorry for it, truthfully I barely even have the time to write. So I hope you enjoyed this late Valentine's gift!
