" Lucy, we're so glad you returned to Magnolia." Erza smiled.
" LLLLLLuuuuuuuuucccccccyyyyyyy..... "Juvia cried, tears running down her porcelain face as she squeezed Lucy's torso.
" How have you been? "Lucy asked.
" They've been a bit lonely without you. "Mira chuckled, setting down a strawberry shake.
" You remembered my favorite. "Lucy thanked her with a smile.
" I'm glad to see you back. "she smiled back then went behind the counter.
" Hey, Lucy, babe... I got to go to work now. "Natsu said and kissed Lucy's cheek." I'll be back at eight. "
" Natsu... "Lucy pointed to her lips. Natsu smirked then kissed her lips." Alright, that's better... Have a good time at work. "
He nodded.
" Cya guys! "he said as he walked out the door.
" Cya! "everyone waved after him.
" Lucy! "Wendy perked up." Do you still have Plue? "
" Yeah, right now he's at Natsu's playing with Happy. "Lucy said.
" I still remember when you were mute and only wrote in your notebook to communicate. "Gajeel said.
" It's changed a lot since then. "Jellal said.
" Yeah, now Lu speaks more freely and with her own voice. I find it exciting... It's almost like you were never mute. "Levy smiled.
" But there was still some things that were fun back then even when you were quite. "Gray said.
" Remember when we heard you play for the first time? "Erza asked.
" Of course I do, how could forget? "Lucy smiled lightly." I borrowed the piano in the music room and just played while you guys were staying after school to study. "
" Then you spoke to us using your notebook made us question why. "Levy said.
" Well... I was quite the silent type back then, huh? "Lucy chuckled.
Erza smiled and took another bite from her strawberry cake. Jellal took a sip of his coffee as he wrapped his arm around Erza's shoulders.
" This is just like back then. "Wendy smiled.
" Yeah... We all used to meet up right here and laugh. "Juvia smiled, finally letting go of Lucy.
" Remember how surprised the guys were when I said 'hi'? "Lucy chuckled.
" None of us expected you to speak. "Jellal smiled.
" Remember that sleepover at Levy's? "Erza asked.
" How could I forget? "Levy chuckled." You guys scooped through my diary. "
" And who knew of how much of a Gajeel fan you were. "Lucy snickered. Levy blushed.
" Don't forget about that doll you had. "Wendy added making Levy blush harder.
" Shrimp... Is there something I've been missing? "Gajeel wondered and everyone burst out laughing.
Everyone laughed loudly and uncontrollably they burst in tears. Gajeel and Levy couldn't help but laugh themselves.
" I missed those days. I've never laughed so hard in a long time. "Lucy chuckled as she wiped her tears.
" It's been so long since we all laughed together. "Wendy smiled.
" We should have another sleep over. "Juvia said.
" How about tomorrow night at my place? "Erza asked.
" AYE!! "Everyone agreed.
