"Lucy, wake up." I opened my eyed to Erza's face right in front of me, so I jumped in my seat causing me to fall off. "Kya! Erza, you scared me!" She suddenly looked sheepish "I'm sorry Lucy, please forgive me." "E-erza its okay. More importantly are we in Crocus already?" "Yes we are, we need to get off the train so let's go." "Let's! Wait where's Wendy?" "Oh she went to buy me some cake!" I noticed there was a gleam in her eye. "Oh Erza you never change." "A lot of change has never been good, Lucy."

"Unless its needed to survive with other people who betray you." My eyes widened when I realized what I said, "Erza, I didn't mean it like that." "Its okay, because your right it was necessary that you survive and I'm sure that if you acted like your normal self many people would harm you. Like we did." "That's why now that I'm stronger, I'll ruin Taiga, for me and for my team's sake." She looked confused now "Team? What does this mission and person have to do with your team?"  "I'm sorry Erza, I've forgiven you and all but I don't trust you very much to put it bluntly. Besides all that happened after I left Fairy Tail until now is nothing of anyone else's concern besided my team's and my own." "I understand... Just be careful. Don't bottle up to many secrets or emotions Lucy, you'll end up hurt in the end." "I'll die protecting my family, and as long as they are fine, I don't care what happens to me, I'll make people pay for causing their suffering. Of course Taiga hurt my entire team.--Erza please keep this between us two. Even Wendy shouldn't know about this." "I understand Lucy. This conversation will be kept between the two of us."

Once we were outside we decided to wait for Wendy to return. "Erza-san, Lucy-san!" I turned just in time to see wendy trip over a tree branch that was on the floor. Her eyes widened when the cake flew out of her hands and splattered on the floor, just before she face planted. "Wendy! Are you okay?" I asked as I ran to her. When she sat up her face was flushed red in embarrassment. I giggled at her expression "Wendy its like when we first met! You also tripped in Master Bob's Villa!" She turned a darker shade of red. I offered my hand which she took and helped her to her feet. I pat her head "There there don't worry, everything's fine since you didn't get hurt." She shook her head- are those tears in her eyes?!?! "W-wendy why are you crying?!" "Erza-san's cake! Gomenasai!" She began to bow. I turned to Erza to see her sulking in the middle of the road where I left her.

I visibly sweat-dropped at my guild members antics. Wendy apologizing and bowing to the air and Erza sulking mumbling cake over and over again. Finally when I had enough I decided to take action "Guys, would you stop? Erza your bound to get hit in the middle of the road. Here stop sulking." I used Arc of Embodiment Magic and imagined a strawberry cake. Erza's glum expression changed to one of joy as she took the cake and pulled out a fork from who knows where and began eating. I looked at Wendy who had finally stopped apologizing and had a giant grin on her face. "Ano Lucy..." I turned to see Erza finished with the cake already. "Do you think you could give me another?" She asked shyly. I smiled and deadpanned "No. It was just because Wendy dropped the other one."

Then I walked forward leaving a once again sulking Erza and Wendy trying to comfort her. "Erza, we are on a S ranked mission we need to get a move on." That seemed to snap her out of her trance and she stood up and began walking next to me, leaving Wendy sweat-dropping. "You are right Lucy. You may hit me for my foolishness." "No Erza, its fine. Wendy let's go." I finished calling to her over my shoulder. "Hai!" Then all 3 of us began to search for the rest of the Allied Forces.

"Oi, there they are!" I heard a quite annoying voice of Gray call from the back. "Grugh- stripper wait up!" I turned to see Natsu holding his stomach with groaning with Gray who surprisingly was trying to help him. "Pathetic. I can't believe I was in their team." I commented quietly to myself. "Stop messing around we need to get going." "Yes, as you wish Lucy-san. You are just as intelligent as you are beautiful!" Exclaimed Hibiki. I rolled my eyes and walked away with Wendy seeing as Erza went to help Natsu and Gray. The others quickly followed me.

We eventually got to a forest and I could sense great magical energy in the distance. Hm, maybe he's gotten stronger. We walked an hour and a half before Sherry started whining, Ren soon joining his wife, then everyone else began to complain so I stopped at a clearing. "Go ahead and rest for the rest of the night. You have 7 hours to sleep. We continue early in the morning." They all nodded and began to set up camp. "Ne, Wendy, Erza, if you want you to can sleep on a wool bed." "Wool bed?" they questioned in sync. I nodded "Open! Gate of the golden ram, Aries! Open! Gate of the maiden, Virgo!" said spirits showed up and i telepathically told them what to do. Virgo dug three spaces in the floor each different sizes then Aries covered them with wool that would last 10 hours. "Punishment Hime?" questioned a straight faced Virgo. "No! You two can go back, than you for everything!" "I'm sorry!" Aries exclaimed before they returned to their world. I turned to the girls "Night!" I exclaimed as I dropped into the medium sized 'wool bed' on the ground.

Before I fell asleep I noticed Erza trying to fit in the smallest one that was meant for Wendy. "Erza, yours is the other one, your taller than both of us." "Y-yes I know that, I was just making sure that this was safe for Wendy." She quickly said as she went to hers and fell asleep rather quickly. Wendy soon climbed in and dozed off with Charla, Happy, and Mei. Mei prefers sleeping with Wendy than with me! That picky exceed! I fell into slumber only to be awoken 40 minutes later. I decided to keep my eyes closed and focused on my hearing.

"You thinks she trusts Erza again?" "Yes ice-block, I think so" "What was that flame-brain?" I didn't think she'd forgive her so easily." "I guess she's the same old Lucy. Forgives and forgets. How about we try next flame-brain?" "She'll forgive us soon enough. I know Lucy, she misses us, she'll approach us soon and we'll be a team again." "I think she might not forgive me. I have only been rude to her since she got back." "Yeah me too stripper." "Do you really think she got stronger or that she's the same as before?" chirped in Erza's voice? "As before. She still needs people protecting her." They responded at the same time. "You bakas." she commented. They became quiet again, and I drifted off in my thoughts.

It shouldn't matter to me, but why am I crying? I can't forgive them. Team Natsu is the same as back then, it seems I have to prove my strength to them against Taiga, Arata, and Chiyo. Your just looking for excuses! You know that you just want to get revenge on Taiga for what he did to you and the team. And you will, all by yourself. Screw Natsu and Gray. You don't need them.  if only the others were here instead... No! They'd be in danger. That's why you haven't told them the mission, you have to take Taiga down for everyone. I know, and I will. Sleep then fully consumed me.
