Chapter 42

Continuing on from chapter 41~

So, to make up for the horrible goodbye I made last chapter, here you got an extra long one!

Thanks to DesolationDeath for helping me with this story!

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

Disclaimer: I dunno why I still don't own Fairy Tail, honestly. I would be the perfect owner.

At the Guild, Fairy Tail~

Gajeel's  P.O.V

No... That person.. It couldn't be. But that voice, that unmistakable voice. It belonged to one person. Bunny-Girl!

I looked towards the door, just like everyone else, and there stood four figures, cast in complete shadow. Three smaller, about the same height, and one taller.

There was a complete silence in the guild as everyone just stared at the door in shock. Some more than others. Suddenly, the silence was broken. "Princess!" Someone yelled and ran to the door. "Don't leave me for so long again!" The same person yelled.

Soon enough, the blonde dog, who had been there to get us with all the others back at Tenrou, ran to Bunny-Girl with his arms spread wide, probably to lock her in a hug as soon as he got close enough. Thing was though, he didn't get close enough.

Just as he came too close, the tall one next to the figure in front stuck out an arm and hit the dog right in the face. "I thought we went over this already, Canini, don't get too close." A deep voice told the dog. The dog stood still with the fist in his face and his tail wagging from side to side.

The silhouette which the dog had originally been running at, giggled. "I hope you did as I told you, Canini, and helped out." She asked the dog. Yeah, there really was no doubt about it. There was really only one person with that giggle and that voice. Only one damn person.

Bisca stepped forward and smiled at the silhouettes. "Yes, Canini was very helpful with finding the members on Tenrou. Thank you for sending him to help us-" It was like everyone inhaled sharply, waiting for the name the green-haired cowgirl would say. "Lucy." She finally said. Just as she finished, the light outside wasn't as overwhelming as it was before, and the shadows not so dark.

And there she was, the girl I- we had been waiting for, for so long. I could hardly recognize her, but when I looked into her dark, brown eyes, it was clear. This was Bunny-Girl. She had changed a lot. Just these seven years, she had changed unimaginably much. She had lost the last puppy-fat she had on her hips and thighs. She looked like a 'real' woman now. She was slender, but you could clearly see the muscles working under her skin, but of course not too much. It was well proportioned and balanced.

But that wasn't what was the biggest change about her. No, the most outstanding difference, was her at least waist-long, silver hair, put up in a different kind of braid... I had no idea what it was called, but it started at the top of her skull and kept being braided down. She wore a black, form-fitting one-shoulder top. The one strap over the right shoulder was thick, filled her whole shoulder, right from the crook of her neck to the end of her shoulder-bone. It was somewhat weird for her not to wear the usual blue color she always wore, but this certainly worked too. Then she wore a half-long, somewhat loose, silver skirt and a pair of black sandals. I glanced down at her hand and saw the Fairy Tail mark resting there in bright pink.

I never thought I would have to think it about anyone ever in my life, but Bunny-Girl had grown to be a beautiful woman. No man could deny that fact.
