~Lucy's POV

"Lucy, go to bed," Erza sighed. I shook my head while reading a book, my concentration at its peak. I haven't gone to bed for a day, keeping myself in the books. There must be a way to undo the spell. I can't just let the fact go that without me, Levy would be okay.

There has to be a way.

I wanted to destroy the paper with what it did to Levy, but I cohldn't. This was the prove that the spell is real and that I wasn't imagining things. Suddenly yellow light shone from my key and Aquarius appeared.

She was glaring at me.

What have I done now?

"You little brat. What were you thinking calling me?" she yelled at me. I looked at her in confusion. What the heck? I didn't call her at all. She was leaning closer to me and then suddenly stood up straight again.

"I didn't even call you."

Then suddenly she smacked me across the face and I flew back. I groaned. "What the heck?"

Aquarius went to the book on table and sighed, "You won't find anything in here."

She looked harshly at me and then looked away, her features softening, "Stop with the childish behavior. You didn't know, she didn't know, it isn't your fault."

She grabbed my arm and teleported me to the celestial world. "What are you doing?" I asked when I saw my clothes changing into the celestial world clothes. She didn't speak as she continued to drag me somewhere.

Soon all my spirits were in front of me, including Natsu. "What's going on?" I asked, a little fearful of the answer.

"Lucy..." Loki said and stepped forward. He looked at me with sympathy. "I'm sorry for what happened to Levy."

I suddenly breathed out. "Wait. You guys have lived for a very long time, don't you guys know an undo spell? Every spell has a loophole. There must be."

Nothing was said. Then after awhile they shook their head. "Do you know why she can't wake up?"

I shook my head, the answer obvious. "That's because of a barrier, ebi," Cancer said. I gestured for him to go on. "What Cancer means is that a magic concentration is blocking her power to wake up," Virgo said.

"Is there any way to go through the barrier?" I asked with tears in my eyes. If my friends didn't know it either...

They all looked away.

"G-guys?" I asked while stepping back.

"The barrier is as strong as the celestial King. You can't possibly break it."

I wanted to cry already. "But there is one other way. As we are the zodiacs," Capricorn said.

"And that is?" Ready to do everything to wake up Levy.

"As you see, the barrier is blocking her power, so she needs power. The spell may be as strong as the celestial King, but that is for outsiders. Levy herself could overpower it, because to her the barrier is as weak as a stone."
