3rd POV

"Not much, huh?" Lucy asked.

Everyone nodded. "Well, you did miss our marriage, Lu-chan!" Levy called. Lucy perked up and looked at Levy. "You and Gajeel?"

Levy nodded, and stood by Gajeel. Lucy smiled. "You have gotten taller!"

Levy looked proud. "I am 5 feet tall!"

Lucy laughed.

It suddenly got quiet when Lucy glanced at Natsu.

Natsu looked back at her, and the guild watched the exchange. Lucy gave Natsu a heart chilling look, and Natsu returned her stare with a heated glare.

Their guildmates watched in horror as the once best friends looked at each other as if they were sworn enemies. "I see you grew a beard." Lucy said, glaring into Natsu's soul.

"I see you wear even more revealing outfits." Natsu said, his voice emotionless.

"I see that you have gotten weaker over the years." Lucy said, her gaze now colder than Gray's ice.

Before Natsu could say anything, Makarov yelled, "SHUT UP YOU TWO!"

Lucy looked up, annoyed. She seen master and her gaze softened. "Heyo."

Makarov smiled at her. "Welcome back, Lucy. We missed you." Lucy smiled, and nodded, raising her hand, positionng her index finger and thumb in a 'L' shape. People looked at her, and they all copied her, except Natsu. He itched his chin, and sighed.

Gray nudged him. "Salamander, what the hell was that?"

Natsu glanced at him. "What was what?" Gray gave him a flat look, and put down his hand. "that exchange."

Natsu shrugged.

~~~

Lucy was walking to her home, her cloak off--she left it at the guild-- and people stared. They recognized her, but they stayed away because of the power that radiated off of her. They looked at her, shocked that she was the figure with the cloak on.

She felt a hand on her mouth, and she was yanked into an alley. She rolled her eyes as she was shoved against a wall.

"hey pretty lady." A man looked at her, his eyes raking down her body. She closed her eyes. "Please let me go."

Lucy, do you need our help?

Loke's voice appeared in her head.

No, I can handle this. She thought back, and she felt him give her a dissaproving mood.

She ignored him, and the guy in front of her laughed. "No thank you. There aren't too many attractive girls with a body like yours."

He reached his hand to touch her hair, but she smacked him away. "I am asking nicely. Let me go." Lucy growled, looking into his eyes.

He brought his knee up, slightly between her legs, and her eyes hardend, making her disicion. "You had your chance." Lucy said, her eyes twinkling.

She brought her right hand up, and hit the guy in the nose with the heel of her palm, and he stumbled back, letting out a grunt of pain. She kicked his stomach, letting her recently found magic flow through her legs, and he flew back, hitting the brick wall. He yelled out. Lucy walked to him, power filling the air. The guy looked up at her in fear, and Lucy whispered, "I said don't mess with me."

She looked down at him, and showed him her right hand. "i am a fairy tail mage. Lucy Heartfilia. Spread the word that I am not someone to be messed with."

He pressed his back to the brick wall, frightened, he probably shit his pants, and he held his bleeding probably broken nose with his right hand. "I-I am sorry!"

Lucy looked down at him, looking like a beautiful angel, and she walked away.

Lucy stepped in front of her house. "It's been a while..." She whispered to herself, and opened the door. She expected to see rent papers taped on the door, or people in her house, but she didn't. She looked at her kitchen, expecting to see a mess from the day she was last here, but it was clean.

She went to her room, and she noticed it was clean.

She seen a note on her bed, and she picked it up.

Lucy, I kept your house clean for you, and your rent paid.
-Natsu

She was surprised on how neat his handwriting was. She smiled a cold smile. 'I hope Natsu doesn't think this will make me forgive him' She thought.

"You expected to see this house a mess?"

Lucy looked up, and the next second, she had her forearm pressed on a throat, her right hand glowing with a golden light, 6 inches from his face.

Natsu gave her a steady look, and she narrowed her eyes. "What are you doing in my house?"

Natsu snorted, looking at her right hand. "What a warm welcome."

Lucy glared at him.

"Whats with the hand?" Natsu asked. "And the forearm pressing on my throat?"

Lucy stepped away, the light fading away. "Its my magic."

"What kind of magic?" Natsu asked, itching his chin.

"Celestial Being magic." Lucy said, running a hand through her hair. Natsu nodded, and Lucy went to her dusty desk, and stoodthere.

Natsu's jaw dropped as she began changing. Her clothes dropped to the floor, her hair covering all of her glory. She turned her head and gave him a flat look. "What are you still doing here?"

Natsu turned walked to her window and looked back. "I am surprised you didn't kill that man."

He jumped out of the window, landing on his feet, and began walking.

Lucy went to the window, and watched him walk away, and stuck out her right hand, and closed the window.
