"Home sweet home!" I said opening the door. The girls followed behind. We all went up to our rooms to keep our luggage.

Later Levy and I left as we wanted to go the library. We talked about anything that came to our mind, books, trip, boys, Christmas etc.

"Miss Lucy!" A guy about my age or a year older said. I looked at him and the other guys behind him. What's up with them?

"Yeah?" I asked. "I'm Gerald Denmore. I'm the president of your fan club. It's really nice to meet you." He said bowed followed by others.

What th-?! I had a fan club?! How did I not know about it?

"I'm...uh..honoured?" I said. They all smiled brightly.

"Please wait for our gifts for you for Xmas and even your birthday! Thank you for sparing us some time Miss Lucy! Have a good day! You too Miss Levy!" They said and sauntered away.

"Wow. You already got a fan club. That's fast." Lev said.

"Eh who cares? Let's go." I said and we proceeded to the library.

"I need to collect some material for my research so I'll be there." Lev said while I sat down on one of the couches.

"Okay!" I said and opened a book.

"You know I just heard from the librarian that while we were on our trip, a new student came and he got into A rank. I think his Alice was Potion making." Lev said.

"So he makes potions?" I asked. "Yeah. I don't know much but. Gotta ask Kelly. I'll see you in a few hours." She said and walked to the History section.

I started reading the book in my hands. After I finished reading it, I decided to go to the Informative section.

I wanted to know if there is a book of other Alices which I haven't yet copied. So far I had found not even one which looked useful though.

That's when I came across a book 'Dragons and Dragon Slayers'. I took it out of the shelf and flipped through it.

It wasn't fat but it wasn't thin either. I'm curious.

Will this tell me more about Jason? His dragon instincts? Or...even about the monster in him? I need to know why Derek thinks Jason is a monster. There must be some reason.

But reading it here won't be such a nice choice. I guess I'll buy it. I can borrow the other two novels which I selected.

Calling it a day, I went to search for Lev. I found her sitting on the ground surrounded by many books. She had her magic reading glasses on and was flipping the pages at a great speed.

"Levy? You done?" I asked. "Oh Lu! I'm gonna take some more time. Why don't you head back first? I'll meet you in an hour I guess." She said. I nodded and went over to the librarian.

Once out I walked slowly. I looked out to see the campus grounds covered in snow. I saw elementary branch kids playing a snow ball fight. That made me remember the snow ball fight I had with my fronds, Jason and...Felix. I wonder how he is now.

Is he happy and having fun with the other kids?

"LUUUCCCCCCYYYYYY!!" I turned around only to be pushed to the ground.

I looked up to see that it was Charlie who was squeezing me to death. "Can't...breath.." I said, my face turning blue. He let me go but still had a good grip on me. He rubbed his cheek against mine.

"I missed you soooooo much!" He said.

"Yeah I missed you too. Now will you get off me. It's embarrassing to be seen on my butt by other students." He got up and held out his hand for me.

I grabbed it and he pulled me up. Wait. Something is different. But what is? I looked at Charlie. My jaw dropped open. I pointed my finger at him.

"W - What the heck is that?!" I asked. "Dog ears." He simply said. There stood my brother (adopted) with brown dog ears and tail. I touched them slightly. They were real!

"H - How?" I asked. "You must have heard that there's a new student with the Potion making Alice. Well he and a girl with Cooking Alice made these surprise cookies. If you eat them something happens to you. But no one knows what exactly will happen. Like me. I got dog ears and tail." He said.

"My brother has been turned into a half - dog! OH MY GOSH!! WHAT WILL I DO IF HE DOESN'T TURN BACK TO NORMAL?!! NOOO!!" I yelled loudly and I'm sure the whole campus heard me.

"Chillax Sis! It lasts only for a few hours. Max a day." He said. I let out a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness." I said. He then put his arms around me. "Now will my Sis spend some time with her cute, adorable, charming younger brother?" He asked grinning.

"Praising yourself huh?" I said bonking his head lightly with my fist. An 'Ow' came from him. I smiled at him.

"So what do you want to do now?" I asked. His grin returned. "To the garden!" He said pumping his fist in the air. I copied his action and shouted, "Yes!"

We then ran all the way to our secret garden.

Once there we stopped to catch our breath. I then noticed Jas leaning against the tree with his face covered with a book (I bet it's a comic book) and his earphones on.

I covered Charlie's mouth before he could say anything. I put a finger to my mouth asking him to stay quiet. I tiptoed towards him.

I lowered myself and slowly removed his book. His eyes were closed. My eyes softened. He looks so peaceful.

Now that he's sleeping I was able to take in his appearance. His spiky pink locks which stand out everywhere, his short eyebrows, those green eyes which I can't see right now but always lose myself in them, his straight nose, his cheekbones, his strong jaw and his....I gulped...soft and warm lips.

I have this strong urge to kiss him suddenly. I shook my head. No I can't do that! That can be considered harassment! And I can go to jail for that! But he always does that to me! Though I like it..... I was snapped out of my thoughts when he suddenly spoke, "I know I'm very handsome but how long do you plan to stare at me?"

I jumped and backed away. His eyes slowly opened and I could see those hypnotising eyes of his.

"W - When did you wake up?" I asked.

"When you'll entered." He said.

"You're still no match for him Sis Lucy." Charlie said and sat down beside him.

I pouted and made myself comfortable on Jason's other side. We sat there in silence basking in the sunlight.

"Oh did you guys know? I have a fan club too!" I said. "You didn't know?" Charlie asked.

"You knew?" I asked back. He nodded.

"But for SOME reason they could never reach you." He continued. I tilted my head in confusion.

"What's so good about having a fan club anyway? They're annoying." Jas said.

"I don't know. The president of my fan club was pretty nice. The others too. They said they'll give me gifts! I wonder what. I hope it's food! Especially chocolates!" I said drooling a bit.

"Pig." "Glutton." Charlie and Jas said together.

"What was that?" I asked sweetly. "Well let's see how long you enjoy the LHFC." Charlie said. I raised an eyebrow.

"Lucy Heartfilia Fan Club." He explained. I nodded. He then got up.

"Well I got to go now." He said.

"Where are you going?" I asked. "I'm meeting up with someone." He said. I smirked.

"So who's the girl huh?" I asked teasingly. He blushed slightly.

"I - I don't know what you're talking about! See ya!" He said and took off. I giggled while Jas smirked.

"How cute. I really wonder who's the girl who has Charlie wrapped around her finger." I said more to myself. I then leaned back on the tree trunk and closed my eyes.

I felt Jason staring at me so I opened my eyes.

"What is it?" I asked. His intense stare kinda made me nervous. It's as if he was gonna tell me something important.

"Hey what's wrong?" I asked. He stared deep into my eyes and it felt as though he looked into my soul.

"Be mine."
