''What!?'' Lucy exclaimed, her eyes wide as sausages.

Yukino flinched in fear and took a step backwards, Sting placing his hand on her shoulder as she looked down in shame.

''You did that?'' Lucy said in amazement. ''Too save me?''

''Mhm.'' Yukino whispered and nodded.

Natsu watched as a smile started to spread on Lucy's face and he smiled at that.

Their Lucy were back.

''Thank you.'' Lucy said and smiled, showing off her white teeth.

''Huh?'' Yukino exclaimed, her head shooting up.

'' You helped my friends keep their hopes up. Without you, I don't think the spirits would've been too happy.'' Lucy said and smiled widely. ''Thank you for giving them hopes that I would return.''

Mira smiled widely and Lisanna wiped away a tear as she smiled.

''oh, really?'' Yukino exclaimed with a smile before she tilted her head a little. ''The pleasure was all mine.''

''Keep them.''

''WHAT!?'' Everyone exclaimed, their jaws falling.

Lucy blinked in confusion.

''Just until I am strong enough.'' She finished, tilting her head in confusion. ''You guys didn't really think that I would give my friends away, did you?''

Everyone sighed in relief and Erza laughed.

''It's good having you back, Lucy.'' Wendy said and smiled sweetly at her.

Lucy returned it but her eyes widened in shock, her mouth going in a thin line as Natsu slammed his head into hers.

''Ittai!'' Lucy whined, placing a hand on her forehead. ''What was that for?''

''Don't do something like that again.'' Natsu pouted, crossing his arms like a child.

''Uh?'' Lucy exclaimed, speechless.

''Ara, Ara.'' Mira snickered, Erza and Evergreen joining in.

''You were really mean when you were evil.'' Natsu said, turning away like the child he is before he looked at her again. ''Don't say that again.''

''Say what?'' Lucy exclaimed in surprise.

''Don't play innocent!'' Natsu screamed, waving his arms up and down in frustration. ''You know exactly what I'm talking about!''

''I don't!'' Lucy exclaimed in shock.

''Yes you do!''

''I don't!'' Lucy exclaimed again. Her shock dying down into annoyance. ''What did I do?!''

Gray facepalmed and Sting gave out a heavy sigh.

''You told me that I tried to kill you!''

''I did?''

''YES!'' Natsu exclaimed, shooting up so that Lucy's head struck the floor, since she had her head on his lap.

''ITTAI! Natsu you fucking idiot!''

TWACK!

''Ouch!'' Natsu screamed as Gajeel punched him on the head.

''Apologize, fire breath.''Gajeel muttered.

''Why should I? She was mea-''

''She was fucking brainwashed genius.'' Gajeel spat, a dark shadow falling over his face. ''Now apologize.''

''Gajeel....'' Levy whispered in surprise.

''Fine.'' Natsu sighed. ''Stupid iron face.'' He then muttered.

TWACK!

''Lucy!? Why did you do that!?'' Natsu whined, rubbing his head.

''Forgive me.''

''Huh?'' Natsu said, his angry expression disappearing into a surprised one. ''What?''

''Forgive me. It was not okay to say that, being under someone's control or not. It was low.'' Lucy said and looked down after she had gotten up in a sitting position.

Natsu's face softened and he grinned.

''All is forgotten. I forgot it the moment you woke up.''

''Huh?'' Lucy gasped. ''Then why-''

Natsu slammed his forehead against her and smiled.

''Because I wanted to hear my Lucy argue with me, like old times. I missed you. We all did.''

Lucy's face softened and she smiled.

''I missed you. I missed you all.''

Mira squealed and ran around in a circle.

THUDD.

''OH MY GOD! MIRA FAINTED!'' Droy screamed in panic.
