Natsu darted down the school hallway, a scarlet haired woman chasing after him.
" They're at it again. "Gray sighed.
" Gray... Your clothes... "Lisanna whispered over to him. Gray looked down and gasped, covering his genitals and running away to find clothes.
" I wonder what it was this time. "Gajeel huffed, crossing his arms.
" With them, who knows? "Levy shrugged.
" Most likely Natsu did something. "Lisanna chuckled, they all nodded.
" Anyway, I'll be up at the library. "Levy said, standing up.
" Alright, cya. "Juvia waved.
" Cya. "Levy waved back and headed up stairs to the second floor to the library.
She held a book tightly as she entered the light wood double doors with the germ infested, silver handles. She walked into a not-so-busy library with those students in the corner gossiping and snickering, the ones at tables doing homework of studying, and some were reading.
Levy walked to the front desk, her light blue hair bouncing a bit each step she took.
" Hello, I would like to return this book please. "she stated kindly and handed the bored and sleepy woman behind the desk. She walked away, since the woman didn't very much fancy a chat about books, but that was all Levy would speak about. It was the only thing that excited her.
She walked up the narrow stairs to the second level of the library, which held the nonfictional books she held a desire to read at that particular moment.
She read all sorts of books, from history of America to manga. She loved it all, she'd come to library every day looking at what new books had been brought in and seeing what books she could read that she had not read before. And if there's none then she'd just grab one she enjoyed from the past and reread it with a smile upon her face.
Levy halted, her frown fading as she turned into an aisle. She stood there, seeing a blonde girl's back as she was reading a book she had just pulled out from the shelf.
" Lu? "Levy questioned. The blonde jumped and dropped her book.
" Crap. "she hissed quietly. Levy went up, grabbing the book before she could.
" It is you. "she smiled. Lucy stared at her.
" M-McGarden? "Lucy greeted, quite nervous." I didn't know you were there. Sorry. "
Levy froze. Why would Lucy greet her by her last name? Weren't they friend?
" Well, excuse me. Class is about to start and got my book. "Lucy said, walking past Levy.

~Levy's POV~

I've never heard Lucy speak to me using my last name...
It was like... She was a completely different person from when I'd spoke with her last.
Her empty eyes and blunt voice, the way she kept her back straight like an arrow, how she picked up her feet but making sure there wasn't a bounce. When did she become so formal?
She always hated formalities... Every time her tutor would try and teach her formalities she'd 'play tag' with them.
She was so cheerful, not this robot!
A formal 'hello' and 'goodbye', she'd never! It was always 'cya!' and 'sup!' not this formalities that her tutor constantly corrected her on.
Lucy...

~Nobody's POV~

Levy bolted out of the library and back to her lunch table where Natsu, Erza, Gray, and Juvia Sat as the rest went to get to classes early or hang out with other friends or ditch.
" Have any of you seen where Lucy went? "Levy asked immediately.
" Lucy? "Juvia shrugged." Juvia hasn't seen her except in classes. "
" Why? What's wrong? "Erza asked.
" Nothings exactly wrong, per-say... It's just that... Lucy called me 'McGarden'. "Levy informed.
" And that's what's wrong? "Gray asked.
" Luce has called me Dragneel in class, it's not like her to do so. She hates formalities. "Natsu sighed.
" She's already greeted me by 'Scarlet'. "Erza shrugged." I've already faced the fact that Lucy changed. It's only been a week since she transferred, and not once did she come willingly and she rarely ever says our first names nor speaks to us unless spoken too by us. "
" 'Don't speak unless spoken too', 'greet others respectfully and in a formal matter', 'straighten your back', 'walk in a straight line', 'pick up your feet, but do not sway the hips, nor create a noticeable bounce', 'have perfect balance', 'do not eat unless permission given'. "Levy counted off a few of what their tutors back home taught them on. 'Manners' (something Natsu already has a 'F' in).
" So? She now takes her lessons and studies seriously, what's wrong with that? "Erza shrugged.
" Luce hates Manners just as much as I do. "Natsu groaned.
" Juvia knows people change Erza, but can people change so much to make them unrecognizable? "Juvia asked, providing a point, no one changes willing not even consciously to the point they seem like a completely new person.
" You prove a point, Juvia. But we should go marching at demanding to know why. "Erza stated firmly, crossing her arms." And if she does not wish to be with us as she used to be, that is entirely her decision. It is not up to us to decide for her. "
Gray nodded in a agreement.
" Natsu's already gone. "Levy sighed.
" That idiot. "Gray huffed.
