The Starry Night

Second Chance

Lucy woke up in the Spirit Realm. "Why am I here? I thought I died." Lucy said. "You did die, old friend." the Celestial Spirit King said, appearing next to her. "Then why am I here?" Lucy said curiously.  "You died a heroic death, Lucy. The spirits and I agree that you deserve a second chance at life. But there's a cost, old friend." the Spirit King explained. "I would give anything to see Nee-Chan and Cobra! What's the cost Stache Face?" Lucy demanded. "Your memories and your keys (with the exception of Loke)."  the Spirit King said. "So I can live again, but I won't remember any of them and I'll have Loke but I won't remember him. God this is confusing." Lucy asked/exclaimed. "Yes and no. Your memories will be sealed and if something begins triggering your memories, that seal will break then you'll have your memories again." The Celestial king explained. Lucy stood there pondering her options, she saw Cobra's and Jellal's miserable faces and made her decision. "I'll do it. At least there's some chance my memories could be triggered." Lucy said smiling. "We'll miss you hime." Lucy's spririts cried, hugging her. "Goodbye old friend." the Spirit King said as Lucy faded into tiny stars. 

*Back on Earthland*

"I'm so sorry. I said I would protect you Lucy and I failed. I'm the worst Dragon Slayer to live." Cobra wailed.  "It's not your fault. She knew the costs and chose to save her family." Jellal said looking Lucy's body. he stared as Lucy's eyes began to flutter. "LUCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Jellal cried, running to help her. She stared at him before running to hide. "Who are you?" she said holding her whip. "Come on Nee-Chan! Stop playing around!" Jellal said walking up to her. "Your not my Nee-Chan! My family is dead!" Lucy shouted readying her whip. Lucy's pouch glowed as Loke appeared. "Who are you guys?!" Lucy said running around the guild hiding in the infirmary closet. (A/N I totally forgot the guild members were there. Let's just go with the fact that they are in a deep shocked state.) "Loke what's going on?" Cobra demanded. "Lucy's been revived that's obvious but she got revived at the cost of her memories being sealed." Loke explained. "Wait, does she still have her mating mark?" Cobra inquired, forming a plan to bring the old Lucy back. "Yea why?" Loke said looking at Cobra. "If a mate is injured, or has been affected by something such as memory loss, a mate can place their marks together and regain their former state. I read it in an old book about dragons." Cobra explained. "But we need to get Lucy to do that and in her current state, I don't think that's a possibility Cobra." Loke said gesturing to the infirmary closet where Lucy was quivering. "Well Nee-Chan is always curious, if we say her and Cobra have the same mark on their neck, and to find out what they mean, they should put the marks together like a puzzle." Jellal said, thoughtfully. "That might actually work, its worth a shot." Loke said. "Lucy, please come out. We just want to talk." Jellal said gently. Lucy peeked from the closet and sheepishly sat on a guild bed. "We noticed Cobra and you shared the same marking on your necks. We wanted to see what happened when you guys put your marks together.  You know like putting a puzzle together." Loke said pointing to Cobra. Lucy brushed her hair aside and saw the marks. "okay lets try." Lucy whispered. Cobra and Lucy's marks combined and there was a flash of light. When the light died down Lucy stood up and hugged Cobra. "I Love you Erik. Loke and Jellal Your the best a Queen could ask for." Lucy said smiling. "SHE'S BACK. LUCY CAME BACK TO US!!!!!!!!!!!!!" a voice that suspiciously sounded like Natsu shouted. "It's good to be back Nee-Chan." Lucy said smiling warmly.
