Virel laughed. "You can't see it; you feel it. We are now Soul Beings, Lucy Heartfilia. We share the same senses...all because I have a piece of your soul in my body."

"But Fairy Tail isn't Fairy Tail without you, Lucy!" Natsu yelled, tears finally spilling from his eyes. "And it never will be unless you're there, with everyone, by their side; by my side!"
_________________________________________________________________________________
Lucy exclaimed loudly as she jumped awake, sitting straight up in bed as her covers flew off her chest and landed on her lap. Looking around quickly as she panted heavily, Lucy saw was in her apartment and sighed.
It was just a dream... Lucy thought, smiling in relief.
Looking out the window, Lucy saw that it was daylight outside, and she stretched, ready for the day. Climbing out of bed, Lucy put on her new clothes, which was a tank top and some shorts. Since they were back to being the strongest guild again, Lucy thought she had needed a new look. Though, she decided to put up both sides of her hair for now; it was simply what she liked. Wrapping her belt around her waist, Lucy's celestial keys jingled against her hip as she began to fix herself some breakfast. She passed her bag which was resting on the chair, packed and ready to go.
She, along with Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Wendy were all going on a mission together for the first time since getting back from the Grand Magic Games. Lucy was really excited about it, not just because it had been awhile since they had done such a thing, but because Lucy felt confident and ready to face anything. She couldn't describe it; she just felt ready to take anything on, especially because her friends were with her. Maybe Lucy felt this way because they had gone through such an experience at the Grand Magic Games, where everyone was almost killed by dragons and Future Rogue.
As Lucy was finishing up, she - for some reason - found herself going back to what had happened two months ago.
Virel Essence.
The Black Being.
Lucy shivered at the thought of how close she came to leaving her friends, and sighed. What did she have to worry about? Virel was gone and the Black Being destroyed. There was no way he was going to come appearing on Lucy's plans and threaten the guild again. Lucy couldn't help but wonder why she would have a dream about the incident for the first time since it happened. It seemed a little strange. However, Lucy shook her head, mentally calling herself an idiot for thinking otherwise. Everything was fine.
Virel wasn't coming back.
Rubbing the back of her hand across her forehead, Lucy finished putting the dishes away and cleaning her kitchen. Last night she had invited everyone over, and had cooked for them for fun. It was a good experience; Lucy felt happy they had enjoyed her food, especially Natsu.
Lucy couldn't help but blush at the thought of months ago, when Natsu had proclaimed his feelings for her at the site of the ruins. As Lucy imagined, Mira had a field day with that once she found out. Lucy could still hear the embarrassing remarks...
Lucy turned scarlet.
Shaking her head vigorously, Lucy slapped her cheeks to clear her head. She had to stay focused; today they were heading to the city where the mission conspired at. The mission itself was one that involved wild animals. It wasn't anything extremely excessive, but Lucy wanted it because, surprisingly, the requester would pay a lot of money for the small crisis.
What was going on was that the head of a successful animal breading farm out in the fields of Fiore needed help with a wild monster problem. This man raised sheeps, goats, cows, and even strange animals Lucy had no idea could be used for human purposes. The problem? Monsters were stealing the livestock and taking them somewhere; the man thought they were being eaten, until he saw a mage controling them. So, he wanted the mage with Taming Magic caught by Fairy Tail and put to justice.
Natsu had only been excited because of the fact that there were multiple rewards; not only the money, but any dinner of their choice. Happy was pretty set on it too. Erza and Gray were interested in the money just as Lucy was, and decided to tag along while it had just been Natsu and herself at first. Wendy had then asked if it was alright if she'd acompany them, and of course they had accepted. Lucy was delighted to have everyone together again, since they had been doing certain missions by themselves or seperately for awhile.
Yawning, Lucy checked the time to see that she had about an hour before she was supposed to meet everyone at the guild, and decided to spend that time practicing a new trick she made up when fighting with her spirits.
Walking outside, Lucy dropped her back next to the bridge and took out her keys, ready to let off some steam.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Before Lucy knew it, she had to head off to the guild and meet her friends there, stopping her practicing. A little worn out, Lucy had no choice but to ignore it and jog off to the guild, her bag in tow. She could see the building in the distance, freshly renewed and reopened. Smiling, Lucy continued to run as she went around the corner, hoping she wouldn't be late.
As she came up the street, she saw everyone already outside waiting for her. Waving her hand in the air, Lucy continued to jog over to them.
"Sorry I'm late!" Lucy called, and they all turned to her.
Natsu turned first, using his sensitive hearing to his advantage. Wendy soon followed too, of course, and so did Gray and Erza. When Natsu saw Lucy, he grinned, his arms crossed.
"Lu-shee, what took you so long?" Happy whined, floating in the air along with Carla.
Lucy came to a stop in front of them, planting her hands on her knees as she bent over for breath. "Sorry...I got side-tracked and realized I was going to be late..."
"You okay, Lucy?" Wendy asked, looking concerned.
Lucy smiled, laughing slightly in amusement. "I'm fine, Wendy. I just ran all the way here, is all."
"What were you doin' before you came here?" Natsu asked, his expression curious.
Lucy put a finger to her lips, winking. "It's a se-cr-et~!" She sang.
"Oi, that's no fair! I wanna know what you were doin'!"
"Not telling!" Lucy replied, laughing.
Natsu pouted childishly. "But you have to tell me, because we're together!"
"You can't use the boyfriend excuse, idiot!" Lucy exclaimed, grinning though a small blush formed on her cheeks.
Natsu flinched, and then looked away, embarassed. "Whatever...I still wanna know, though."
Lucy smiled in amusement.
"Are we ready to go?" Erza asked, amused.
Lucy nodded. "Yep!"
"Well then, let's hurry it up." Gray replied, his hands in his pockets. "Since someone was late, we gotta hurry so we don't miss the train." He teased, smirking.
"I told you I was sorry!"
Wendy giggled at Lucy, and Carla smiled slightly with amusement.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Lucy plopped down into the seat, sighing. "We made it..."
Natsu sat down next to her, while Erza and Gray were in the seat next to them. Wendy, Carla, and Happy were sitting in front of Lucy and Natsu.
"Ah. Just in time too." Erza agreed, hearing the whistle sound off.
"How far away is this place anyways?" Wendy asked.
"Only a few hours." Erza replied, pulling out the flier. "It's a small town in the country side. It's just outside the city, so it won't take long to get there."
"What's the name of it?" Carla asked.
Erza scanned the description of the flier. "It's name is Brean."
"Wow, it really is small.." Gray muttered, looking at the map in his hand.
"That's because most of it is land for crops or animals," Lucy replied knowingly. "Only business men live there and tend to their merchandise."
"Oi, how'd you know that?" Natsu asked.
Lucy smiled triumphantly. "I thought researching the city would help some."
The conversation was cut short as the train began to move, and Natsu instantly got motion sickness. Lucy huffed, biting her cheek as she scootched as far away from him as possible in the seat.
"You better not throw up on me, Natsu!" Lucy exclaimed warningly. "I won't forgive you!"
Natsu gurgled in response, and Lucy thought she heard something along the lines of "no promises".
Everyone sighed.
