Second chance

Chapter 2: Blocked Feelings

( Lucy's P.O.V)

I groaned as I opened my eyes to a blinding light. I shifted around and felt my hand brush over someone else... Wait, what...

I jumped up to my feet and hands went directly to my whip. I looked around and felt excitement wash over me. I was in my old apartment which was destroyed in the first week of the war. Juvia was next to me on the floor, while Sting was collapsed on the bed and Rogue was laying against a wall.

I laughed waking up Juvia and the rest. Juvia was instantly on her feet reaching for her twin knives, Rogue was in his fighting stance, and Sting was... well, Sting was asleep.

I smiled as the realization hit Juvia and Rogue. They smiled at each other then chuckled as they saw Sting. Juvia was nearly jumping up and down until Rogue put his hand on the shoulder, holding her down. Rogue than heading towards Sting and punched him in the gut waking him up.

"HEY!" Sting said while I was trying not to laugh at his high pitched voice.

"Hello to you too my mentally wayward friend," Juvia says in an innocent voice

We all laugh for a bit and then the excitement gets broken by Rogue.

" Alright, we need a plan. " Rogue said his voice was slightly higher than normal. He was wearing his old cape and wardrobe and that's when I decided to take a look at myself. I was wearing my old blue outfit, but with a few changes. My hair was longer and I had a few scars from the war, including the one of a stab wound on my shoulder. I quickly tried to summon my keys from the Requip storage. Erza taught me how to use them after I gained the World Keys. All of my keys were here, My golden and silver keys, including Yukino's after she died, my dragon keys, god keys, and my demon keys were shining in the sunlight filtering through the window.

I looked at Juvia wearing her old black dress. Her skin was a bit more flushed and her face was tight with attention. Her hair was a bit longer like mine and in loose waves. 

Sting was wearing his lady clothes/a tank top and shorts. I admit that I have gotten so used to seeing them in decked out armor that sometimes put Erza to shame.

I requiped my reading glasses and massage my pounding head.

" Alright, first things first, who should we tell" I state using the commander voice that I have mostly used on my team and sometimes Natsu when he is... well, Natsu

"I think we should tell Natsu" Sting stated

" No telling to many people can be dangerous," Rogue said

" I think that it is obvious that we need to tell our masters" Juvia stated and the rest of us nodded.

"I think we should leave it at that for now" I stated sighing thinking of my best friend/ boyfriend

"BUT NATSU IS YOUR guild master! WE SHOULD TELL HIM!" Sting yells angrily sending me a worried look.

"In this timeline telling Natsu has no merit," Juvia said, sending me a side glance.

" She is right we have to do this right," I started with a tight smile.

"me and sting have to go before any of the dragon slayers catch our sent" Rogue states and I nod.

I push Sting and Rogue out the door and close it. I fall against the floor as my legs give out and through the end of my vision I see Juvia lets a tear fall.

" We're back minna...," she states and I grin.

" Hey I know that she is nice in our time, but can I sucker punch Minerva" I state while Juvia gives me a deadpan look and laughs. 

" Lucy!" She scolds with a giggle. 

" Maybe you should stay away from Natsu" she states rolling her eyes while probably imagine punching Lyon to the ground...

" So what are we going to tell Master" she states, looking at me for answers.

" Everything " I state grimly

"We should probably act like we usually do and then tell him everything after we train" Juvia suggests

" Nope let's kick butt and shock them all" I state with an ' Innocent' smile.

"I was hoping you would say that!" She replies with a devious grin that could rival Natsu's.

We laugh and for a while, it's as if no war has happened.

I look in the mirror and wince. A few scars travel my skin in obvious places, especially in this dress. My eyes are no longer the innocent ones that have never seen the danger of war. Juvia is pretty much in the same place except that her scars are hidden.

I cast a transformation spell that hides my scars and smile.

Juvia then breaks the still silence.

" Lucy do we still have our full magic power," she asks and I quickly check our power levels.

"I bit less but most of our power returned to ourselves but we have around half of our physical strength," I say while clenching my fist. We have to fix that. In our timeline, we were on par with Erza and Mira, maybe even stronger. In this timeline, we have barely trained. Even though we have all of our magic power and a lot of our old strength with this weak body we won't be able to fight at our full potential.

"In the month training period, we have before the GMG's we should head to the Dragon Realm to train," Juvia said rolling around her muscles. I nod grimly before I wince.

" We can't go to the Dragon Realm the Dragon Slayers would notice" I state. This is turning out to be a big problem.

" We can go to the Gods realm instead plus they should be able to help us out more in our physical strength" Juvia mentions and I smile and nod.

" Ready to go to the guild," I say with a grim smile. Juvia winces and we begin to walk to the guild.

My eyes water as I see Magnolia again. The war destroyed this place, our home, in less than a week.

We reached the doors of the guild and nodded. I hear Juvia take a deep breath as I open the door my heart pounding in my chest.
