I stood frozen in shock. This was the only time I had seen her since I had... changed. Suddenly self conscious, I moved my tail so it would be out of her sight.

Just as I was about to say something, Rin came bursting into the tent. "Lucy! I heard you yell, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly.

I pointed to the side of the tent where my mother was and said, "Don't you see her?"

"See who? I think maybe you're goin' crazy," Rin sighed and walked to where I was pointing.

I watched, anticipating my mother to move, but she didn't. The moment Rin made contact with her with his swishing hand she vanished, dissipating like smoke.

"See? No one," Rin smiled at his inspection.

"I guess so," I laughed shakily as I relaxed. What the hell just happened?

"Ugh," Rin sighed in disgust, "Does Tattie have to be so obnoxiously clean?"

I couldn't help but notice Rin glaring at Jellal's perfectly made bed and organized room.

"Maybe he was expecting you." I teased Rin.

"Or you." Rin grumbled seriously.

"Uh, no."

Rin seemed to cheer at my response, but I ignored it and finished packing up the tent.

We arrived at our dorm just in time to run into a whistling Jellal, swinging a key around his finger. Well, Rin ran into him as I stepped to the side.

"Watch where you're going, kitty." Said an irritated Jellal.

It literally hadn't even been ten seconds and they were going at it again.

"At least I don't suck up to Mephisto for keys." Rin retorted as he dropped what he was carrying.

"A key so Lucy can continue her training with me."

"She's still training with me."

"Uh, guys?" I tried to intervene.

"Too bad for you, kitty, she does better with me." Jellal continued over me.

This was unbelievable. I'm the one that needs to train, not babysit two grown-enough guys. I was getting angrier with each word they said.

"Maybe if you paid enough attention to Lucy you'd see-"

"If you both don't stop I'm going back to Fiore and finding others to help me!" I screamed, interrupting Rin.

"Did i miss something?" Yukio asked as he innocently walked towards the door we were standing in.

"No, you didn't. We were just going to head in to get some food and put our things away." I sighed at the innocent twin.

"Y-Yeah." Jellal and Rin agreed.
