The Best Fairy Tail Ever

We're Back!!!!!

Erza POV

I stood outside in the darkness. Things were pretty quiet, so my mind drifted to memories of my childhood. I thought of Jellal and I as kids and all the times we spent together. As much as I would like to be angry at him, I couldn't help but feel sad. We planned for so long to be together in the army, but why did he have to join the opposite side? Why did he have to leave my side and become my worst enemy? I just couldn't bear it.

Slowly the tears came down my cheeks. They were quiet and slow moving. When I saw some shadows heading my way, I quickly wiped them away. No one could see me like this. I squinted at the approaching shadows. Soon they became much clearer, and I could recognize the blonde girl with the pink dress. Another girl was with her with blue hair and a deep blue dress. A man was behind them, but he was covered in a cloak.

"Erza!" Lucy called out. I felt somewhat happy to see the blonde girl again, but I remembered who she was. I tried to convince myself she was no friend, but I just couldn't.

"Lucy!? What are you doing back?" I asked. She just smiled and gave me a hug. The blue haired girl stood watching with the man in the cloak. Lucy pulled back and tears of joy filled her eyes.

"I left, and I am not going back. No matter what I will fight to stay," she looked back at the group that came with her. "This is Juvia Lockster. She came with me," Juvia waved. So Lucy managed to have the heir to the Lockters to come with her. I smiled back at her and looked at the man. The cloak covered his face, but I thought he looked awfully familiar.

"and who are you?" I asked. Juvia gave a quick look of panic but managed to cover it up quickly.

"Oh he's just a friend of mine. He helped us get here. Don't worry about it to much please," I raised my eyebrow but didn't question it.

"Very well, just follow me inside, quietly," I led them inside the castle. We snuck past the Council Room without gathering any suspicion. In normal circumstances I'd take them straight to Makarov, but he never came back after going after the Heartfilia Army, so I just had them wait in the study. I left them to go find Natsu. I'm sure we would be happy to see Lucy again.

Lucy POV

Erza left us alone in the study. I couldn't stop smiling. This is where I belong. Not back with my father but here with the Dragon slayers. I looked at Juvia and Gray. Gray pulled down the hood of cloak, and Juvia was looking around.

Since Gray was considered a criminal to the Dragon Slayer Council, it was hard to think of a way to sneak him in here. He just put a cloak on and hoped for the best. Luckily, Erza didn't question to much. I don't know what we would do if Gray was in prison, especially Juvia. I think she would go on a rampage to break him out. I kept thinking about the thought of Juvia destroying everything in her path until I heard the door burst open.

Natsu stood there looking around franticly. He saw me and he flashed a toothy grin. I smiled back only to have him hug me. "Luce you're back!!!" I couldn't help but blush a little at how long he was hugging me. He pulled back and looked at Juvia. She was standing there waving silently. Juvia then turned to Gray. That was when the room went quiet.

Gray's hood was still down.
