Lucy sighed having finished another book from her many collections, which were stored in her personal library. She brought many of those brats to Fairy Tail that she actually felt herself become exhausted which was first for her. She put the book away and was now staring at the two strange eggs she found during her travels. They were quite big to be honest which intrigued her a lot. She did some research but couldn't find them in any books she read, meaning they probably came from Edolas just like Mystogan and Porlyusica. Speaking of which the old woman seemed to like the blonde even though she wasn't human, it didn't seem to bother her at all and Lucy knew she came from Edolas and found the old woman's personality to be likeable (probably because they act alike).
Sighing she grabbed the two eggs and went outside where she found Brandish practicing her magic again growing and shrinking the trees around them.
"You should take a break Brandish," Lucy told her, "You'll tire yourself out if you don't."
Brandish smiled at her, "I'm fine, I can go for a little while longer."
Lucy shook her head; "You need to rest your body after using magic for such a long period of time otherwise you'll be too exhausted later."
Brandish nodded, "I understand Lucy."
"Now then," she lifted the eggs, "Would you like to come with me to deliver these eggs to Fairy Tail? I get the feeling the three dragon slayers would take a liking to these eggs."
Brandish stood there looking down at the ground, "Lucy?"
"Hm?"
"Is...is joining a guild fun?" Brandish asked.
Lucy showed a small smile, "From what someone has told me from a long time ago, it is."
Fairy Tail Guild
"Hey gramps, where's Lucy?" Natsu demanded.
Makarov sighed, "For the last time Natsu she will be here whenever she gets here, so be patient."
Natsu pouted.
"Geez Natsu calm down," Lisanna came up to him, "Lucy-nee will be here when she has free time."
"But..."
"Lisanna's right Natsu," Erza wearing an armored breast plate long white-sleeved shirt and brown skirt, her hair in a low braid, "Anue is a very busy person so we shouldn't bother her."
"But it's no fun without her!" Natsu protested, "How come she doesn't just stay here to hang out with us?"
Wakaba smoked on his pipe, "Because the girl's anti-social just like that kid that follows her."
"You mean Brandish?" Juvia questioned, "She seems...distant."
Levy nodded, "She only likes being around Lu-chan."
Cana agreed with the blue haired girl, "I wonder if she's related to Lucy-nee?"
Gray had his arms in the back of his head, "If they are then they don't look alike."
Mira rolled her eyes, "So what if their not related? The two of them are strong bad asses especially Lucy. I can't wait to show her my new form." She grinned.
Elfman sat nervously next to her, "N-nee-chan..."
Makarov sighed into his drink. He had admit that Lucy was definitely beloved here in Fairy Tail even if the girl didn't know it herself. Everytime Lucy came here she would bring a child with her, and each child had a heartbreaking backstory that came with them, Gray losing Ur to Deliora, Erza being a slave in the Tower of Heaven and force to leave to keep her friends there safe, Natsu, Gajeel, and Wendy's dragons all disappeared on the same date and year which was somewhat strange to him, Mystogan having no home to go back to, Juvia being a victim of human trafficking, Levy having her home raided by both dark mages and bandits, and the Strauss siblings being forced out of their home by ignorant fools who knew no better. All of them experienced tragedy that was soon being healed by enigma known as Lucy, who brought them all here telling them that the people of the guild will be their knew family. He smiled at that, she had actually called them a family something he wouldn't expect from her at all giving her personality and her habit of hitting people with her book and calling them "brats." The girl was strange but he couldn't deny the strong magic energy he felt coming from her or the girl that was trailing behind her like a lost kitten, Brandish was strange herself not wanting to get close to any of the members and only showing emotion around Lucy. The girl was probably just shy being around them because she was use to being around only Lucy not the rest of Fairy Tail.
