Things may change

Chapter 1: Repeating Memories

Before you read the story below, as stated in the summary this story has something to do with reincarnation.

First of all, I am aware of what reincarnation is, a person who died will begin a new life in a new body w/ a different personality, in my story, the deceased one will be reincarnated as a different form with its original personality and blah, blah, blah...

Normal POV

Time was said that it can heal wounds but, why hasn't his very own wounded heart not healed yet? Days and months took turns in fixing the pieces of his beating heart, tears couldn't do anything in returning to his very own self…

Being gloomy and sad all the time couldn't do a thing…it isn't much to revive the person he cherished and loved the most. Sadly, time can't repeat itself, the time where they were holding hands, talking long walks, kissing each other with harmonious feelings, and saying 'I love you.'

"Why did you leave me…?" he asked, his head arched at the sky where the white puffy clouds passed by "I thought you said you loved me?" he questioned again but, no answer came to respond

The glum raven haired mage lowered his head before opening the doors to his guild, Fairy Tail. The once noisy and frivolous place where laughs and fights had always began. But things can change, even if a single person was missing, it wouldn't be the same without their own whole-hearted celestial spirit mage, Lucy…

"Good Morning, Gray!" the female bartender greeted, her eyes seemed to give off a happy aura on the outside but, in the inside it stated 'sadness'

"Morning, Mira…!" Gray gave a little smile before sitting on one of the benches

"Gray, will you be taking a mission today?" a voice soared from behind the ice make mage, making him tense up in surprise "It's been weeks since you barely took one…"

"It depends on my mood, Erza." His dark blue eyes darted around the said armored person in front of him "By the way, where's that idiot?" he raised a brow, completely curios

"He's at 'that' place." The red head stated, showing a straight face at her team mate

"Oh…" Gray had nothing better to say than that, he knew that the pink headed dragon slayer was the closest to Lucy. The news of her being deceased didn't just affected him but, also affected his whole life, every morning he would go to her grave and talk about his day at the non-living stone slab that had the blond's name engraved on it.

"When are you going to get over it, Gray?" Erza asked as she sat at the bench in front of him "She decided that for herself, for us, and for you…everyone's worried about your state so try and cheer up even once in a while, you still have a life to enjoy with…" with that said, the re-equip mage stood up from her seat and headed off to the second floor of the guild to who knows why.

In the spur of the moment, two figures came running inside the guild "We're back!" the fire dragon slayer shouted with a big smile plastered on his face "Natsu, wait up!" the blue exceed exhaled

"Sorry, Happy!" Natsu scratched the back of his head

"Welcome back, Natsu!" Mira gave her signature smile as she continued to tend with her duties at the bar

"Oi stripper, wanna take a mission?" Natsu asked the raven head as he headed to where the latter was

"Who are you calling stripper, walking match-stick?" Gray retorted back with the same glare that he used from the other fights that they had

"Whatcha say, ice block?" as they butted heads, the so called fight started again. Mira sighed in relief, happy seeing that Gray was acting as he used to be, she knew deep down that he was still broken because of a certain loss.

"Will ya' shut it, flame-brain!"

"No, you shut it popsicle stick!"

"Fire breathing freak…!"

"Droopy eyes!"

"Tch! I said shut it squinty-" Gray's last word was cut off by a door that sudenly opened, there stood a girl that had golden blond hair that reached the back of her shoulders, her chocolate brown orbs that gave off a welcoming feeling, and most likely an alluring face that somewhat resembled "her"

"Excuse me…" the girl trailed off as she walked inside, closing the door behind her "I would like to join the guild…can I?" a blush of nervousness appeared from her cheeks

"O-Oh my, of course you can join." The white haired mage studied the girl, she knew that she had seen the same features before and she also knew who the person that perfectly resembled the girl. Not only Mira had the same thought but, also the whole guild that remained silent.

All of them were shocked that the girl that was standing in front of them was exactly a mirror copy of the bubbly mage that used to be with them but in a form of a child…

"Can you tell me your name…?" Mira was the first to break the silence that lingered throughout the guild

The blond girl's ears perked up by the question "I'm…I'm Lucy!" she answered with a big cheery smile though it faltered when she saw the looks of the other member's faces "I-Is there something wrong?"

The take-over mage thought over a moment before saying something "Don't mind them, can you also tell me how old you are and…your magic ability?"

"Oh sorry, I'm 13 and I still haven't mastered it yet but, I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage!" 'Lucy' beamed with a big grin

"Child…" Suddenly, a weary old voice spoke up from behind the bartender "Where did you come from?" the current master of Fairy Tail asked

"…I…I don't know…" the girl trailed off "I have no recollection of my memories but, I don't know why, this guild always seems to appear in my dreams…I thought I might be able to regain my memories back when I come and join the guild." Her hands were hiding at her back, Lucy was swinging her body from side to side taking glances from the small old man in front of her

Makarov gave a smile to Lucy "My child, you are free to choose whether or not to join the guild." He glanced at Mira, as she nodded in understanding and went to Lucy "Gray, Natsu, Erza, follow me to my office."

There Makarov sat on his arm chair, darting his eyes continuously at the three mages before clearing his throat…

"Master, what is the meaning of this?" Gray declared for an answer "Why does that girl, look like…" hurt was seen through his dark eyes

"Master, would you please explain?" Erza said with her brows in a furrow position

"Oi Gramps, will you just tell us!" Natsu aggravated in frustration "Natsu, calm down…" Happy mumbled from his shoulder, trying to comfort his partner

Makarov sighed before speaking his words "Lucy…was reincarnated into that girl you just saw…" he trailed off and took a look at their reactions, all eyes were widened in disbelief "Though Lucy's spirit is in that form, somehow…her memories are captivated inside of her."

"W-What?" Gray was the most shocked of all, the day where he dreamed of Lucy coming back to life came true but, his dreams swiftly shattered into pieces when he heard that her memories were lost and gone

"M-Master, can't we do something about it?" Erza's eyes were nearly tearing, her long beloved friend was now here and back but in a form of a frail-looking girl

"This is where you three come in. I want all of you to regain her memories back by befriending her first…especially you Gray…" Makarov stated with a solemn look "That is all…"

"Yes, Master…" the three excluding Happy, said simultaneously. Erza was the first to get out then, Natsu and lastly Gray…but, before the ice mage would continue to fret inside his mind, Makarov up and went calling for him.

"Gray…" Makarov called him out, causing the said person to crawl out of his thoughts

"Yes?" Gray whipped his head at the man

"Do you still love Lucy?" seriousness was washing over the Master's face, Gray was taken aback by the question and just made a simple response "You already know the answer to that..." he sighed before going out

"Figures…" a sigh of relief was heard by Makarov, he knew something like this would be happening so, he just waited at the side lines for it to appear itself.

=-=After 1 Month=-=

"Neh, Gray!" the thirteen year old Lucy exclaimed "Can we go home now?" she massaged her eye lids before staring at the raven head

A month has passed and Lucy's relationship with the guild became intact by every second but seemingly, the girl became more attached to Gray like a magnet. The celestial mage also lived with him by orders from the Master and with a squealing Mira.

Gray gave a little smile "Oh, why?" he looked down, Lucy was a bit taller than Wendy, who she also became good friends with over the month

"I feel sleepy…" a yawn escaped from her mouth and Gray just chuckled at the sight

"Fine, let's go home." He stretched his hand out and offered it to Lucy, the girl had no reason not to accept it and gladly took his hand before they proceeded to Gray's house

"My, my, aren't they just cute together?" Mira said, putting a hand to her cheek

"Uhn!" Levy agreed while looking at the disappearing figures "But…I hope Lu-chan get's her memories back…Gray still must be hurting inside…" she said with a hint of glum in her tone...
