LUCY P.O.V.
After a second of utter shock and silence, someone walked towards me. "Are you okay," the person asked, holding out a hand. When I looked up to see who it was, I found Juvia smiling down at me. "Thank you," I smiled back, "You saved my life."

"Your welcome, Lucy. Juvia is glad she made it in time. Erza and Gray also saved you," Juvia informed me, nodding her head towards Gray and Erza. They were both smirking at me as if to assure me that I was safe now.

"Thank you Gray and Erza," I grinned. I'm really thankful that they made it here in time, but how did they know? Or better yet, why are they here? I tried to think of reasonable reasons as to why, but I couldn't come up with any and the ones I did come up with were to far-fetched.

Gray suddenly interrupted my thought and pointed out, "Your welcome, but before we celebrate, we have a demon to kill."

The ice that hung the demon up to the wall has nearly completely melted away. Quickly, I reached into my pocket for my keys. "Open, Gate Of The Golden Bull, Taurus!!!", I chanted. A flash of light appeared and out of that light came a bull that stood on two feet carrying a heavy axe.

"Lucyy, you look so beauutiful," Taurus crowed with hearts nearly popping out of his eyes.

"T-Thank you," I blushed, "Attack Taurus!"

Taurus nodded and charged towards the demon, destroying it in one shot. The demon turned to ash. "Yayy, you go Taurus," I congratulated him for his amazing work. Taurus swung his tail back and forth exalting, "As a reward can I get a smoooch" Nervously I giggled, "Okay, that's enough Taurus. Byeee." I swung my key into the air, closing his gate.

When Taurus disappeared, I couldn't help but notice everyone staring at me in disbelief.

"Are you and Taurus," Erza studdered, "a...a.... thing?!?"

I figured she thought that because of what Taurus said when I summoned him. Immediately I blushed and blurted out, "No, not at all! Its not like that."

"Then why are you blushing," Juvia bluntly asked.

"I don't know, maybe because of how awkward that question was," I agitatedly replied. How Taurus acted towards me really was embarrassing. It was... weird. I wonder if all of my celestial spirits are like that.

"C'mon guys, isn't it obvious? Of course Lucy doesn't, because she likes Natsu," Gray jested.

"Gray," Erza whispered, "Did you forget already?"
