Lazuses POV
Lucy had changed a lot, but in a good and kinda sad way. I was still enraged by the thought of someone hurting Hai, the cute little baby dragon. The image of The small child in her arms as she gently rocked him as he slept seemed so precious and something to cherish. Just then Bixlow brought over a couple draft beers and set them down on the table before he handed one to me. Sitting down he said to Freed,
"Man Cheerleaders changed a lot. I remember when we first met her. Evergreen froze her into a statue, and I was kinda curious who she was because id never seen her at the guild before." I remembered the first time i'd seen the stone statue version of Lucy. She was in a cheerleading outfit and looked really pretty but her body was still not as toned as it is now. Before she had left she had just been pretty, a girl, an innocent teenager, but she had changed into a strong woman. She held real power and I knew she kept most of her power under wraps but I could sense it. Freed nodded his head while saying,
"She really has changed a lot. I was surprised by her new attitude." I shook my head and said,
"No I think her personalities always been like that, she just suppressed it with the happy-go-lucky Lucy. I think Hai has played a big part in changing her." Evergreen had been listening to this point and said,
"Yeah I agree with you. Though I kinda want to beat up Natsu for what he did. He is a total ass and didn't know what he had, when he had it until it was too late. Look at him now." She pointed at Natsu who was leaning on the bar downing shots. I felt a bit of anger towards the pyromaniac. Growling I say,
"Yeah he fucked up big time. But I also feel kind of bad when we hurt her during my um...uh ...unreasonable take over plan." Bixlow nodded seriously and said,
"Yeah I understand I feel really bad about fighting the cheerleader when she was so weak back then. Though she still beat my ass." I nodded and grinned and said,
"You never told me she beat your ass, you said Loki beat your ass." I watched as Bexlows face redness and he said,
"Yeah well she was fighting me fairly successfully and i'd just gotten the upper hand and then Loki came out. She was a tinty cheerleader back then." I grinned and took another swig from my beer. Evergreen smiled and said,
"Yeah, she was deceptively strong, anyone who can keep up with Natsu is amazing especially for a noblewoman." Freed nodded and said,
"I'm glad she changed, though it were under some unfortunate circumstances." I nodded my head and asked out of curiosity.
"What did you guys think of the last job?" Bixlow smiled and said,
"It was fun, I haven't gone on a huge team mission in in years." The others nodded and we relapsed into silence. After a while I pulled on my headphones and I listened to the guilds conversations. Suddenly I heard Cana's Voice,
"Common tell me Mira? Who is it? Who are you in Looovvvveee with?" I heard a soft slap as she said,
"Don't say that like Happy, its creepy." I heard Cana's voice as she said,
"C'mon please tell me!" I heard her sigh an dshe said,
"Um, ah... I can't do this." I sat up and crossed my hands a very serious look on my face the other three all stared at me. Cana said in a while voice,
"Just spit it out." I heard Mira say,
"Freed! Okay!" I let out a snort and kept listing. Cana then asked,
"Really what made you fall in love with him?" I could practically hear her embarrassment as she said,
"So, um, a while back when we fought... I kinda...um...fell in love with him." I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I looked at Freed and stopped laughing but couldn't stop my snorts. Mira then says,
"So I told you who I liked now tell me who you like." I was getting all the juicy gossip today. I heard Cana mumble something. It was so quiet I couldn't hear but I heard Mira squeal and say,
"Bacchus! The guy who out drank you!" Cana snapped at her head and said,
"Not so loud!" A hint of panic in her price, Mira lowered her head and said,
"The reason you fell in love with him was because he out drank you right!" I heard Cana grunt a "yes" as she took another chug from her barrel. I laughed and pulled of my headphones, everyone was staring at me. I grinned and looked at Freed and said,
"I hear church bells in your future." His eyes widened and he said,
"Wait Laxus, what are you talking about!" A hint of panic creeping into his voice. I grinned and get up to leave,
"Man I get the best gossip here. "
