Chapter 11: Alive

Lucy got on the train back to Magnolia. She once again felt the sick aura coming her keys, but she couldn't do anything about it, since she spent a lot of magic power on James. She sighed.

"What am I going to do with you?" She messed around with Natsu's golden key, with flames on the handle, decorated with rubies.

She then fell asleep on the train.

"Miss! Miss! This is the stop for Magnolia!" A man shook Lucy's shoulders.

Lucy's eyes opened and realized what was going on.

"Thank you, sir! For waking me up!" She yelled as she ran towards the exit of the bus.

She opened the guild doors, and everything was a rowdy as ever.

"Hello, Lucy! Did your job go well?" Mira yelled behind the bar counter.

"I guess! I finished it though!" Lucy shouted.

Lucy walked towards the bar and sat down. Wendy came running up to Lucy.

"Lucy-san? Where did you get those wounds?" The little girl asked.

"There was an evil mage there and I fought him, but I beat him!" Lucy said in triumph.

"May I heal your wounds?" Wendy asked.

"Sure," Lucy shrugged, "Why not?"

Wendy concentrated until a blue light came from her hands, and healed all of Lucy's wounds. The pain was disappearing from her body.

"Ahhh... that feels so much better! Thank you ,Wendy!" Lucy yelled.

The sky dragonslayer blushed, "You're welcome, Lucy-San," she bowed and left.

"So, how did your job go?" Mirajane asked.

"Well, I was trying to get the curse off, until this mage came into the room and fought me and Natsu, and Natsu was instantly defeated, and I defeated James," Lucy said, "And then I turned in the Ruby back to the client, and I turned in James to the magic council,"

"Hmmm... what an interesting story. At least you returned back safely!" Mira smiled.

"Huh, yeah," Lucy replied. "Can I have some Strawberry Cake?"

Mira disappeared behind the counter. "Sure!" Lucy heard her call behind the bar.

"DID SOMEONE SAY STRAWBERRY CAKE?!?" Erza appeared out of nowhere, causing Lucy to fall out of her chair.

"Yeah, I ordered it," Lucy snorted.

"Did you just talk back to me?!" Erza shot Lucy a strong glare.

Lucy shook in fear of the requip mage. "N-No," she trembled.

Erza smiled, "Good, now where are the strawberry cakes?"

Mira came up behind the counter holding two strawberry cakes. "Here you go, Lucy, Erza,"

"Thank you Mira!" Both yelled in unison. They looked at each other and laughed.

"I love being in this guild, and I love you guys," Lucy wiped a tear from her eyes from laughing.

"We're glad you joined," Erza said.

"Thank you guys," Lucy whispered so low, that not even a dragonslayer could hear it.
