Star-Crossed in Parallel Lines

Eclipse Celestial Spirits Arc

At the guild, we have our pool. Gray and I stand together as we watched Natsu pull Lucy into the water. Gray sighs at Natsu's childish behaviour as I smirked. I pushed him into the water and he pops out complaining. I laugh at him before he grabs my arm and pulls me inside too. Gajeel shook his head at us.

Gray, Shadow and I walk back from shopping at an outdoor market until Gray points out that he sees Frosch. I kneel down and greet him with a high five as Shadow waved at him at eye level. We asked what he was doing and he tells us that he was shopping. 

I gleamed as I took a little snack out of my bag. I told him he could share it with Rogue. He smiles too until he starts crying. He says how he's lost and is looking for his guild. Gray offers that we could bring him home and I nodded, but he wanted to return to the guild by himself. I watch Gray pet Frosch as I hugged Shadow. We waved him off as I wished him good luck. 

The next day, Gray and I brought to the guild a billiard table. It got Gray hooked to the point he didn't want to leave so he offered it to us as a gift. 

We watched as Gray was playing billiard. Shadow tells me that he had to watch this so much, he wanted to leave as I laughed. He finishes with a clean shot. I pat his shoulder, congratulating him as he smiles. 

Natsu tries to play but ends up throwing the balls around the room. I dodged quickly with my head, telling Gray to go stop him, but he rejects. 

Erza comes down to see what's up and catches the billiard ball aiming for her. 

I remember Erza telling me about Bisca as I watched them smile at each other. I join up with Wendy so we could learn how to play. Even though I watched a lot, I think I got the handle of it. Shadow warns me not to hit too hard and I waved him off. 

Down memory lane, I punch Natsu and Gray in the head to stop them from fighting. Shadow was talking with Happy until a green head walks in. She introduces herself as I greeted her. Gray and Natsu wanted to fight her and Erza said she was super strong. I got interested and wanted to fight her too. I tell her after she's done eating, she's gotta get the symbol too!

I watch Erza and Bisca begin a match as I cheered them both on. 

The next day, weird weather phenomenons were happening the across the country. Gray, Shadow and I decide to take a job on a beach since they wanted some cold air. Gray creates ice mountains as Shadow flew me into the sky. I used my cold magic and hit it against his ice to create cold mist to rain down on the people.

I nodded saying that it should last them a while. Gray tells me that we should stay longer, maybe they'll have some food I liked here as I laughed. He was thinking of me! 

Back at the guild, Erza and I worry about Natsu and Lucy. We tell them that we've had jobs there several times and there isn't a village there. Shadow exclaims that it was most likely a fake job, but why? We pondered as we saw Yukino barge into our guild. I ran up to her and used my air magic to dry her off and she thanks me. She tells us that she's looking for Lucy. 

She tells us the details she Lucy and her probably can't use their keys at the moment since they aren't answering them. It's odd though, maybe they were on vacation? Gray intervenes that they all can't be on vacation. 

Lucy returns as they laid all their keys down. Lucy explains the details about how they wanted Perfect Freedom. They were rebelling? 

Crux appears inside Horologium. He explains to us the details as he said Liberum. Yukino takes out a book as Levy started reading it. I peaked beside her so we could read faster. We spoke about how it was a ritual for them to perform so they can obtain that Perfect Freedom. Levy and I gave up searching since we couldn't understand them anymore. We needed more information.
