Acnologia, my Childhood Friend

Chapter 35

Chapter 35

Okay... So this chapter will be... Well, different. Just so I won't lose all of you, I'll have this chapter focus on something else than the training, for once. Hope you like it~!

Oh, and it would seem I forgot to mention what magic Aelurus has back then, she's using Shadow magic, I thought that fit with a cat, being an animal of the night and all..

Thank you to DesolationDeath for helping me with my story!

Besides, guys, I know they are boring, you don't have to tell me in the reviews. They will return around chapter 45-46, if I write only that from now, and no other stories, like this one. I will leave it up to you to decide whether it should just be pure training until they return or if you want chapters like this one and the next for a change.

I apologize for any grammar errors that I have made! R&R!

Disclaimer: Slowpoke has begun to walk around half-asleep most of the time, that's why he can't make any great decisions. Such as giving me Fairy Tail.

At the Field~

Lucy's P.O.V

I looked at the three ladies around me and smiled. I really loved these mornings, it was so much more fun than the ordinary, boring ones, where you took a bath alone.

Grandine looked at me with a thoughtful expression on her beautiful, human face. "Say, Lucy, isn't it your birthday today?" She asked.

I widened my eyes. How in the world did she know that? I clasped my hands together in the water at my thighs, looked down and nodded weakly. "Y-yeah I guess it is." I muttered. Last time I had birthday, I was still at Jude's mansion, and I had absolutely no good memories whatsoever of my birthday. Only the ones back in the day, when Mama was still alive.

Skyadrum looked at me. "What? Really? Why didn't you say so earlier? We can have you take the day off and we girls go shopping in Earthland or something!" She said excitedly, and was already well on her way to get up from the water.

I cringed and shook my head. "Káo (no)..." I looked up when I felt three stares at me. They were all looking at me quizzically, probably trying to figure out what was going on. "I-I don't have any good memories of my birthday, so... When Mama died, I stopped doing anything special that day, gradually." I said lowly as I remembered the day, when I was little. I came into Jude's office with three onigiri I had made for Jude, because it was my birthday. He threw them to the floor. That was when I stopped doing anything at all at my birthday.

Amelane tilted her head. "Your father was too busy, right?" She asked, having figured out what had made it like it was now. Or rather who.

I nodded, feeling the tears already building up. I was such a crybaby, I knew, but this specific topic was very sore for me. I began telling the ladies of that time, when I tried giving the onigiri to Jude and they all looked at me with understanding expressions.

Amelane began brushing my hair with her fingers, as a form for cheering up, I guess. She would occasionally catch a knot. "How old were you then, Lucy?" She asked me with a light voice, which was kind of motherly.

I looked up at her and met those beautiful eyes of hers. "I... 11 years old. It was my 11th birthday." I told her. That was around one year after I had met Acnologia and Kurama.

Skyadrum bend forward and stuck her head closer to mine. "Then we're just going to have to make some new, good memories of it then! A birthday should be a happy day, no exceptions!" She said cheerfully and actually got above the water and to the bank, where her clothes lay. "Let's go to Earthland, just the four of us!" She stated excitedly.
