[Beginning Notes:] Well hey guys!

I'm so glad that I've come back to this story :) Honestly, the break was well-needed and it has allowed me to get my priorities straight; though I have missed writing this story and more importantly sharing it with all of you (-: thank you all for your continued support even through my hiatus!

Conveniently, Fumigation put up the next two dubbed episodes of Fairy Tail up on Kissanime.net so I got to watch them and see the Gajevy moment in 79. that episode brought back my Gajevy spirit and fueled me to finish this chapter!

Anyways, I really hope you all enjoy this super long chapter :)

"Maybe... Pink?"

Levy's pursed lips parted in order for a sigh to escape – a well needed, stress-filled sigh.

"Pink is too girly," the blunette told her friend matter-of-factly. "The Spring Festival has to appeal to both genders."

Lucy nodded from her spot in the plush chair and furrowed her eyebrows, slipping into thought once more. Levy tapped her pencil against the empty page in front of her, biting her lip as the silent scuffle of the library filled her ears.

The school library always seemed to focus her. Perhaps it was the smell of old and new books, or maybe the mere sight of them. Either way, the remedial focuser was now either a deception of Levy's mind or on vacation.

Moral of the story: Magnolia's Spring Festival was next week, the library had lost its concentration charm, and Levy's body was running to catch up to its normal homeostasis thanks to a reliable friend called stress.

"I've got it!" Lucy suddenly exclaimed, brown eyes fluttering open and mouth curling into a smile. She sunk down in her seat when the librarian shushed her from around the corner and waited a few moments before continuing. "Magnolia flowers! They're beautiful and they bloom around here in the spring."

Levy's own eyes lit up and she scooted closer to Lucy in excitement. "That's brilliant, Lu! I'm almost jealous you thought of it before me," she admitted with a sly smile.

Lucy waved her off and bent over her page to start writing down color schemes. Levy giggled when she noticed the blonde turning her page almost completely sideways. She always seemed to write that way, despite how uncomfortable it looked.

"So white, yellow, green, and... What other colors?" the blunette asked after taking her own notes.

"We're going to America for our Senior trip, right?" Lucy asked, tapping her pencil against her cheek. "Maybe blue for the Texas blue bonnets?"

Levy gave it a thought. "Maybe... But I feel that blue doesn't speak spring enough...."

"What about purple? It's basically a cross-breed of blue and pink."

"I heard there's a really beautiful lilac sunset on the East coast." Levy smiled, and Lucy mirrored her. "Purple it is."

Levy couldn't help feeling accomplished as she finished writing her notes down, all the while planning out her next lesson with Gajeel in her mind.

Ah, the multi-tasking life of a Senior and honorary reading-teacher.

Levy was excited. Today, her and her friends were finally getting together to visit Phantom as a group.

Sure, they'd done so multiple times, namely before school and their teachers had decided to torture them with unbearable assignments; but this was the first in arguably four months, and Levy couldn't be more thrilled.
