AND THE STORY LIVES ON!

I would like to thank every one of you who wanted more to my other story, "Lucy Heartfilia: New Student?". I would like to give an even big thanks to Aquo35! She was the main reason I continued, and helped me with the inspiration for this story! The story starts out as NaLu, but that ends at the end of the chapter. The main pairing is JeLu (is that the right ship?).

ON WITH THE STORY!

Lucy hummed an unknown song to herself as she cooked dinner. It was about seven, so Loke would be home from work. He stopped working at the ice-skating rink after the winter they moved from the estate. That was two years ago. Now, he worked full-time at the local grocery store.

The hot days and cool nights were perfect for mid-June. Earlier in the month, Lucy and her friends had graduated. Her father didn't bother coming, though. Jellal's parents didn't bothing coming, either. They were probably mad about the two not marrying.

Lucy stirred the mixture of chicken and vegetables. She had learned how to cook over the two years, and she was pretty good at it.

She shrieked when someone's hands snaked around her waste. A familiar chuckle filled her ears. An even more familiar warmth surrounded her.

"Do you want me burn myself?" Lucy asked. She turned around, still in the person's arm, and wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I don't think you will," he said with a laugh.

"You know me better than that, Natsu." Natsu kissed her forehead and let her go. He made his way to her living room. Lucy turned the stove off, since the food was done. She made her way to the living room.

Natsu was laying on her couch. Lucy layed down beside him. The two started dating not long after the very eventful Christmas when they were both sixteen.

"I'm home!" Leo called as he shut the front door. Lucy was going to he put to great him, but Natsu hugged her right, keeping he in place.

"Can't I go say hi?" Lucy asked. She was facing away from him, but she could still feel him shake his head.

"How didn't I know Natsu would be here?" Leo asked when he entered the room. He sat on the empty chair. "Did you do anything fun today?"

"If you consider cleaning fun," Lucy mumbled. Natsu and Leo both laughed. She never really was find of cleaning.

"Isn't your birthday in a couple weeks?" Natsu asked Lucy. She rolled her eyes and nodded. Last year everyone threw her a party. She had fun, but she wasn't the best a parties.

"You'll be eighteen. God I'm getting old!" Leo groaned.

"Your only a few years older than me!" Lucy yelled. He shrugged and turned the TV on.

"I almost forgot," Leo started. "I think Jellal needs your help next door." Natsu sighed and let his girlfriend go.

"I should get home. I'm suppose to be watching Wendy," Natsu said. Lucy shot him a glare. She had scolded him many times for leaving his sister alone at home, but he always seemed to do it again.

Lucy walke the short distance to Jellal's house. A pink Beetle was in his driveway. Lucy groaned and knocked in his door. Mira still seemed to like Jellal, and she came over to his house every few days to bother him. Leo formed a habit of telling Lucy when those days were.

"Lucy!" Jellal said enthusiastically when he opened the door. He grabbed her into a hug and pulled her inside. Mira was in his living room. Erza was there too, glaring at the white-haired girl. Lucy was glad that she moved on from picking in her. Or so she thought...

"It's your slutty whore!" Erza cheered. Being older, and living away from her estate, for a few years, her vocabulary has grown.

"If only Gray was here to keep you busy," Lucy sneered. Erza blushed and looked at her lap. Gray caught her eye a year before, so Lucy made sure to pick on her for that.

"Why is she here?" Mira snapped, looking at the blonde. Lucy smile and put her arms around Jellal's waste.

"I missed Jellal," she said in a cute voice. Mira's eye twitched. She hated the blonde so much.

"I missed you too!" Jella said in the same tone, hugging Lucy back. The two laughed at Mira's pained face and released each other.

"I need to go," Mira said. She brushed Lucy's shoulder on the way out of the room. The two ex-royalty laughed more once Mira left.

"Thanks for that," Jellal said once he caught his breath. Lucy nodded. The two had always managed to scare Mira away. The one time they even fake kissed in the doorway as she passed by.

"I've better get going. I'll see you later?" Lucy waved to Erza and left. She was going over to Natsu's.

"Hello, Lucy," Julia greeted her at the door. Lucy was a little surprised. Natsu had said he was watching Wendy.

"Is Natsu here?" Lucy asked.

"He's up in his room. He has a friend over, but you can go up." Lucy nodded and made her way up the stairs. She had climbed those stairs too many times to count. She opened the door to Natsu's room. Her heart stopped.

Natsu was laying on his bed without a shirt on. A girl with short white hair was laying under him. They were kissing each other.

"Natsu," Lucy choked out. The two quickly sat up. The white haired girl was Mira's sister, Lisanna.

"Lu-"

"You asshole!" Lucy screamed, cutting him off. She bolted down the stairs, Natsu close behind.

"Lucy!" Natsu yelled. He grabbed her shoulders and spun her around. The two were standing in by the front door.

"Let go!" she screamed, jerking back. "Go rot in Hell!" Igneel and Julia ran to them, wondering what was going on.

"I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" Lucy cut him off again. Tears were in her eyes.

"What happened?" Julia asked.

"Ask that bastard," Lucy muttered. She went through the front door, slamming it as hard as she could.

I really hope you all liked this so far. Please R&R!
