Chapter 1
Lucy is walking in the forest heading toward a house in the middle of the forest. She has long blonde hair with chocolate color eyes, she wore a jacket, with simple pants, and combat boots. She was a bow and a quiver on her back with a sword hilt sticking out of the quiver, on her belt she has a hunting dagger, her Fleuve d'étoiles, and a set of keys. Lucy also knows some Star Magic spells that help her out when she fights. Lucy spots the house and a smiles appear on her face, the house was small and simple with a garden around it that grew multiple types of plants, like berries, herbs, and much more, also around the house their are different kinds of trees like apple trees, orange trees, and more. To the left of the house you can see a small river that if you follow for a few minutes takes you to a lake with a huge clearing. Lucy enters the house and says "I'm home" and a second later she tackle into a hug "Welcome home Lucy" a young black hair boy shouted. "Thanks Romeo can you get off me now." "Don't know I'll think about it." He said grinning.
Lucy and Romeo were like brother and sister, Lucy found Romeo alone in the forest a few years ago and took him in. They found this place a build a small home with the help of Lucy spirits and have been happy ever since.
Romeo finally got off Lucy "So did you find anything?" Romeo asked. "Romeo I went for a walk not hunting, but I did see a herd a deer not far from here, but we went hunting yesterday, if we hunted everyday then after a few months their will be nothing to hunt." Lucy said. Truth be told they were in the biggest forest in all of Fiore and it was full of animals and they were only a hour away from Magnolia which is where the castle is located just on the outside of town, where the king and queen live. "Yea your right, but we are still on for the picnic tomorrow with everyone?" Romeo asked excited. "Of course we are." Lucy replied. What the picnic is that Lucy learn a trick were she stores magical energy within herself that is serrated from her normal magic and after about a month she can use it to summon all her spirits for a day, but it does leave Lucy tired for a few days.
Romeo was extremely excited after hearing that. "Come on Romeo we still have a few more things to do." Lucy said laughing at Romeo. Romeo just follow Lucy helping where he was needed.
Else where at the castle near Magnolia, Prince Natsu Dragoneel was in the dining room with his little sister Princess Wendy Dragoneel sitting next to him and on the other side was his mother Queen Grandine Dragoneel with her husband King or Lord Igneel Dragoneel. All four of them were dragon slayers, Igneel and Natsu were Fire Dragon Slayers, while Grandine and Wendy were Sky Dragon were all eating dinner in silence since no one knew what to talk about. Finally Grandine decided to break the silence "So what does everyone plan on doing tomorrow?" She asked hoping to get a conversation started. "Not much, may take a mission tomorrow or the day after." Natsu replied. Igneel just nodded approving his son answer. "I may go explore the forest a bit." Wendy said. Normal they would be worried about Wendy going into the forest alone, but she always take her cat Carla with her and she will get her out if she in danger. After that dinner was quiet again, this was normal for them.
After dinner Natsu went to the training room where he found Erza who is in charge of the guards at the castle, with Gray who was Erza second in command. The three of them were friends and train together, well manly Natsu and Gray fighting each other while Erza would break them up unless it for a sparring match. "So how was dinner?" Erza asked. "It was fine I guess, it just boring since we don't have much to talk about." Natsu answered. "Well when all you spend most of your time here what is their to talk about." Gray said. Natsu just sigh knowing it was true, the only time he got out was for missions and they only lasted a few days at the most, Wendy was the one that got out the most, but she only went into town or into the forest, but is always back before it got late.
They decided to spar a bit before it got to late and in the end Erza was the winner, she in charge of security for a reason. "Well I guess I'm off to bed, see you guys tomorrow." Natsu said tired. Both said good night and went off to their own rooms. Natsu got to is room and got into his huge bed that could easily fit about five people and went to sleep.
The next day Lucy woke up with Romeo still sleeping with his head on her chest, they share a bed since it a small house and they don't really care. "Romeo walk up." She said nicely, and Romeo slowly woke up and sat up giving Lucy a sleepy smile. "Come on lets summon everyone can get ready." Lucy said and Romeo jump off the bed with excitement. Lucy laughed at him and got up and grab her key ring. She channel her magical energy into the keys "I open the Gates of these Keys." Lucy said, then a huge bright light and all her spirits were their. "You guys go outside and enjoy yourselves, I be out in a little bit with the food." with that everyone except for Romeo, Virgo, Loke, and Aries left and went to the lake. "Shall I help you, Princess?" Virgo asked. "No thank you Virgo." "Shall I receive punishment then." Everyone there sweat drop at Virgo. 'I really hate doing this, but it the only way to get her to relax.' Lucy thought to herself. "Yes Virgo, your punishment is that you are forbidden to help me unless I ask and you must go outside with everyone else and enjoy yourself." Lucy said. "As you wish Princess." and Virgo left. "Thanks for helping her Lucy." Loke said. "Yea, I wish I found her sooner, that last master of hers was the worst I ever seen." Lucy said that made them all nod in agreement. Virgo last master first would punish her for the littlest mistake, but then just punish her because he enjoyed it. Lucy heard of this and went to help free her, but the damage was done and she would always ask for punishment, so she made the plan by punishing her by making her relax and enjoy herself.
"So what do you two need?" Lucy asked Loke and Aries. "We wanted to ask for some baskets so we could pick some berries, the ones you grow around here are the best." Loke said. "How many times do I have to tell you two that you don't have to ask, your family so you always more then welcome to help yourselves to them." Lucy said handing them both a basket. "We'll leave you two a basket since you two grow them." Aries said, she doesn't say sorry anymore around Lucy and Romeo unless it something she did. Lucy knew they would leave one no matter what so she just nodded. "Romeo can you take these with you and get the blanket setup." Romeo nodded and toke the baskets of food and the blanket she gave him and ran out. After a few minutes Lucy left with her hands full told Loke and Aries to come with her and join everyone and saw Romeo got everything set up and put the stuff down. "Come on everyone food ready." All the spirits stop want the were doing and went to Lucy and sat down and started eating. "Lucy you really should get a boyfriend." Aquarius said smirking. "Scorpio can you silence her with a kiss." Lucy said. Scorpio smirk and said "I like the way you think Luce" and kiss Aquarius and she blushed. Everyone laugh at them and went back to eating. "Lucy can we spar when we're done." Romeo asked. Lucy laugh "Of course Romeo."
Not far from them Wendy was walking through the forest with Carla flying above her. Wendy stopped "Do you smell that?" Carla nodded. "Should we find out where it coming from?" Wendy asked. "Well we might as well it about lunch time and we can ask if we can join them." Carla answered. They follow the smell until they saw a clearing and stop and look at it and were stunned at the view and then saw people having a picnic and walk over to them. "Hello, can we join you guys?" Wendy asked shyly. They all look at her, Lucy smiled "Of course you can." Wendy smiled and sat down next to her and grab some food. "So what your name?" Lucy asked curiously. "I'm Princess Wendy Dragoneel, and this is my friend Carla." Wendy said. "Nice to meet you Wendy, my name is Lucy and this is my little brother Romeo, and these are my friends and family, they are also spirits." Lucy said. Wendy was surprise "You guys don't call me Princess, why?" Wendy asked curiously "Well your a person just like me and Romeo, so we treat each other equally." Lucy asked and Wendy nodded. "So are these your spirits?" Wendy asked. "Yep, I summon them all for when we do these picnics." "So many, that amazing." Wendy said.
After a few minutes Romeo and Lucy finished and decided to spar, both getting their sword and hunting dagger. Both went to a open part of the field while everyone else went to a safe zone. "Ready Romeo?" Lucy asked. "Of course Lucy." Lucy threw a rock into the air and went it hit the ground both charge at each other sword ready to attack. When they meet in the middle the both dodge and block each other attacks, at the moment they were even. "They're both good fighters." Wendy said. "They're just warming up." Loke said to Wendy. After a few minutes both of them jump backwards both with a smirk on their face. "Ready to get serious?" Lucy asked. "Might as well since we have someone new watching use, let give her a good show." Romeo said. Both raised their hands and point them at each other. "Star Blast" "Fire Blast" both shouted and fired their spells at each other and both made a huge explosion in the middle. When the smoke clear both were smirking. "Why are they just standing there?" Wendy asked from the sidelines. "They already made a move just wait a bit." Scorpio said. Wendy just nodded and went back to watching. After a few second Romeo was surround by balls of silver light that descended from the sky, while a ball of fire shine brightly above Lucy. "Fire" they both shouted and the balls of light around Romeo fired small beams of light at him, while the ball of fire exploded and rain small fire balls down on Lucy. Both dodge each other attacks and charge back at each other and swung their swords at each other. Wendy just watch amazed at the two fighting each other, watching went one takes a step back the other takes a step forward and vise versa.
After about ten minutes both Lucy and Romeo were breathing heavily, but Romeo look more drain then Lucy, since Lucy as train a few more years then Romeo. "Let make this our last attack." Romeo said. "Sure we got other stuff to do today anyway." Both put down their swords and started to channel their magical energy. Then spell circles appeared under their feet, everyone from the sidelines could feel the energy and smirk, while Wendy was shocked at their power and saw the the the wind was moving around them quickly being force by their magical energy and it push both their hair up so it was standing. Wendy eyes widen as she saw stars appear around Lucy and a huge ball of fire was above Romeo and shine like the sun. "Heavens Star Strike" Lucy shouted and all of the stars around her shine bright and shot themselves at Romeo. "Blazing Sun" Romeo shouted and the huge fire ball flew toward Lucy. Both attacks hit each other and made a huge explosion, when the smoke finally clear both Lucy and Romeo were on the ground lying on their backs grinning, then both burst out laughing, soon everyone else join them in the laughter. Wendy run up to them "Here let me heal you both." and quickly heal them, and in no time they were on their feet again. "Thanks Wendy" both said at the same time.
"So what now?" Wendy asked. "Lets go swimming!" Both Lucy and Romeo shouted and charge back to the house to change. All the spirits couldn't help but laugh at the both of them. Aquarius was already ahead of them and was already in the lake, Virgo went over to Wendy "Here a swim suit for you." she said and handed it to Wendy who quickly thank her and ran after Lucy and Romeo and found a house she guess was their. Wendy knocked on the door and she could hear Lucy say 'Come in' and she enter. Wendy saw that both Lucy and Romeo were behind sheets in different corners of the room changing. "Wendy use this one in a second." Lucy said and then got out already changed. Wendy quickly went behind the sheet and started changing. Romeo finished soon after Lucy and both decided to wait for Wendy while planning on throwing Loke in the lake with a few others. Wendy quickly change and the all ran to the lake, once their Lucy and Romeo look at each other and ran a full speed and Lucy grab Loke, while Romeo grab Aries and pull them and then throw them into the lake. Both their heads pop out of the water, and Lucy and Romeo laugh that them. But them the Genni twins came behind them and push them in. They came up and started laughing again. Wendy jump in and swam to them, "Hey anyone else going to join us?" Lucy shouted. They all nodded no and went back to doing what they were doing before.
All of them got into a water fight and of course Aquarius won it by making a huge wave sending them crashing inland. Everyone was laughing tho even Aquarius, Wendy saw it was getting late and said she needs to leave soon. "Romeo would you mind drying us off?" Lucy asked. "Not at all" and a spell circle appeared under them and it gave off heat that dry them off in a few minutes, Wendy quickly went back and change and join everyone to saw goodbye. "Wendy your welcome to come join us whenever you want, if me and Romeo are not home, just enter and wait since we will either be at town or out hunting." Lucy said. Wendy nodded. "Bye everyone I'll come back soon." Wendy said and Carla uses her magic to grow wings and flew Wendy home. "Well that was fun." Lucy said. "Yeah it was." Romeo said. All the spirits gather up and said goodbye until next time and disappear back to their world. Both of them quickly got back to their house and Lucy feeling the drain from it and went to bed even tho it wasn't dark yet. Romeo decided to join her since he had nothing else to do.
It took Carla and Wendy ten minutes to get back and notice it was time for dinner and Wendy quickly ran to the dining room where everyone was waiting for her. "Your back later then usually Wendy are you ok?" Grandine ask worried. "No I'm fine just was having funny and lost track of time." Wendy replied and sat down next to Natsu. "So what happen Wendy?" Igneel asked. "Well I was walking through the forest and then smell something good, I follow the smell I found people and spirits having a picnic together and they let me join them. It was nice, I told them I was a princess but they didn't treat me any differently because of it, then two of them name Lucy and Romeo who are brother and sister had a sparing match that was amazing, they are both skilled. Even we went swimming in the lake and got into a water fight that was a lot of fun, then I notice it was late and came back I quick as I could." Wendy finished. "Wait did you say spirits whose were they?" Igneel asked. "They were Lucy's." Wendy replied. "That interesting, having multiple spirits out and still be able to do all that." Igneel said. "Well as long as you had fun today that all that matters, do you plan on visiting them again?" Grandine asked pleased that she was making new friends that didn't treat her differently since she a princess. "Yea every now and then, they told me that they might not be home since they may be hunting or in town." Wendy said. Natsu hasn't said anything, but was interserted in this, espically with this Lucy who a hunter, summon multiple spirits out at once,and fight a amazing battle acording to Wendy, and have this huge water fight without getting tired from it all.
Through out dinner Wendy kept telling them all about the day with Lucy and Romeo and everyone was happy that they didn't have another silenced dinner again. After dinner Natsu went to the training room where Erza and Gray were. "I heard that you guys talk during dinner tonight. tell us about it." Gray asked. "Why should I tell you Ice Princess?" "What was that Ash Brain." "Are you two fighting?" Erza asked. "No we are best friend." Both of them said turning into Happy #2. "Good so tell us what happen." Erza asked. "Well Wendy ran into two people name Lucy and Romeo who are brother and sister and join them on a picnic they were having with Lucy's spirits, while they were all summon the two had a sparring match and Wendy said was amazing. After that they just had fun swimming." Natsu said. Erza and Gray were thinking about this, thinking that this Lucy had a lot of magical energy to do all that and Romeo must be strong be able to hold his owe against Lucy. "So what do you plan to do?" Erza asked. "Well after my mission tomorrow I'm going to try to find them to see how good they are." "Well if that the case we would like to join you when you look for them." Erza said in a demanding tone. "Sure no problem." Natsu quickly said not wanting to get on Erza bad side again.
After talking and training for a bit all of them said good night and went to their rooms. Natsu couldn't stop thinking about these two and how two people like that and so close stayed hidden from their senses all this time. Natsu was very curious about them and slowly fell asleep.
