Welcome welcome! My second fic, it's gonna be hard. Not used to this point of view, sorry if it's bad, but hey. Doin my best! Enjoy this chapter!
"Lucy!" Someone calls. Lucy turns around, her pink tail making bubbles in the water.
"Oh! Juvia! Hi!" She calls to the blue haired girl. Juvia smiles at Lucy, her pretty blue hair circling her shoulders.
"Your father has been looking for you Lucy-san!" Juvia says, Lucy pales.
"Thank you Juvia-san! Tell Levy-chan I'll meet up with her later." Lucy said before swishing off quickly. Juvia sighs.
"Juvia does not understand what goes through Lucy-san's mind. Maybe Lucy-san just needs a little love in her life." Juvia nods to herself, her pretty light blue tail sparkling in the watered sunlight as she swam to meet up with Levy.
While Juvia swam off to fine Levy, Lucy was nearing the palace. She gulps. Ooh father will be livid if i'm late. She thinks swimming inside.
"Lucy." A deep voice says, becoming her in.
Lucy ducks her head, her golden hair swimming behind her. "Y-yes father?" She says looking up at him through her lashes.
"Princess Erza from Roya and Princess Mirajane from Miza are here. Here for business at least." Jude said staring at the girl, who brightened at her friends names.
"Yes father. Of course." Lucy said bobbing her head. She hears chattering from behind. Turning around Lucy saw Mira and Erza talking. Erza's 'protector' of sorts (not that Titania needed any protection) following behind.
They spot Lucy and swim right over, sweeping her up in a hug, causing bubbles to erupt around them. Lucy giggles and her father clears his throat.
"Oh sorry your majesty." Erza said letting go of Lucy. Mira does the same, but not without a warm smile. Lucy's face brightens.
"Thank you girls for coming out here, I understand that both of you are the heir's to those thrones. Now, down to the matter I called you all here for. Merfolk and humans have never been on good terms, but now they've been hunting near Atlantis!" Jude said, striking the ground with his trident.
It glows before Jude takes a calming breath. "Erza, I want merguards to protect my daughter. Make sure no human net comes near her, or any of my subjects." He says, Erza nods.
"Of course your majesty. It would be an honor too." She nods, bowing.
"Mira, can you help with the food here? The humans keep poisoning our waters with garbage. I want you to take advantage of being free from that." He says. Mira nods.
"Yes sir." Jude nods and sighs, turning to his daughter. Lucy gulps.
"Lucy. I will tell you what I want from you later. For now, you are all dismissed." They all nod, swimming off. Lucy sighs, staring at the surface of the water.
"Oh no you don't! Don't start letting what you and the girls find cloud your judgement on humans!" Erza says strictly. Lucy sighs.
"Yes Erza. By the way, where's Jellal?" She asks swimming in a circle. Erza smiles.
"Oh I dismissed him. He's off somewhere." She said, her pretty dark eyes glowing. Mira and Lucy give each other knowing looks.
"Now Luuuuuucy. Since we're on the topic of boys-"
"Since when?"
"Since now. Shush. Since we're on the topic of boys, have you found someone sweetie?" Mira asks, raising a brow. Lucy's cheeks grow pink.
"No Mira and you know that. No merman seems to interest me. Most like me because i'm a princess, or what I look like." She says pointing to herself.
Lucy was pretty, putting it mildly. She had long golden hair, caring brown eyes, a curvy figure, beautiful skin. Plus the little shell crown didn't help in toning her beauty down.
Mira smiles warmly. "Dear, find someone you know you can trust and who likes you for who you are, not what you are, or how you look."
Lucy smiles a little, before paling. "Oh my! Levy Juvia and I were going too…..ehe hang out for a bit. I better go. I'll talk to you guys later!" Lucy says before swimming off in a hurry. Mira sighs, flicking her pretty maroon tail.
"What was that about?" Erza asks, swimming up to Mira in a gracefully, but dangerous way.
"Oh nothing. Lucy had plans. We should get on those commands now. Come on." Mira said swimming off, her white hair billowing behind her. Erza sighs before following.
Lucy sighs, sinking to the ocean floor. They're gone. I better go find Levy-chan and Juvia-san. She thinks swishing her tail.
"Lu-chan! Hurry up! Did you ditch Mira-san and Erza?" Levy asks swimming up to her, as Lucy nears their secret grove.
"Yes Levy-chan. Wow, I didn't know you had the troublemaker bone in you." Lucy said laughing, her clear sweet laugh. Levy sticks her tounge out at Lucy, before laughing too.
"Yeah yeah. Now come on before someone sees us. Juvia's inside." Levy says before swimming to the entrance of the grove. Her orange tail clashed greatly with her light blue hair, but it was adorable.
"Lucy! Juvia has been waiting forever! Hurry up Levy!" Juvia says, a happy buzz around her. They've been planning this for forever. The surface. They were going up. She buzzed with happiness.
"Juvia remembers the last time she went up...Juvia saw a handsome human man. Dark eyes, raven hair, pale skin. He even stripped for Juvia!" Juvia says dreamily.
"Wow. Sounds like a hunk. But he didn't see you Juvia. Maybe he was just going for a swim or something." Lucy said, grabbing a shell and pinning her hair back.
"Love rival!" Juvia hissed, her eyes storming and her teeth growing pointed. Angry mermaid mode.
"Juvia! I didn't mean it that way! It's the way you described him that's all! I haven't seen him, nor do I know him!" Lucy says quickly, Juvia calms down.
"Oh. I see. Alright then." Juvia said.
"Guuuuuuys. Wasting time here! Let's gooo!" Levy said. Juvia and Lucy both nod and they start swimming up, to the surface. Lucy's tail glitters as the near the rocks by the beach. Juvia sneaks a look at the mermaid princess. Lucy looks back at her, giving her a warm smile.
Juvia smiles back. Lucy turns back around as they splash out of the water. Levy smiles. "Ooh it's good to be out of the water again. Who knows, maybe we'll see that man Juvia described." Lucy laughs, as they pull themselves onto the rocks.
They flick their tails, chattering, when Juvia gives a small shriek and ducks down. Lucy and Levy look up to see a human boy. The duck down, not risking it. "Natsu and his stupid cat. Haven't left me alone." He mutters, they look over at Juvia, hearts in her eyes.
"Oi! Stripper! Get over here!" Another voice said. Lucy peaks over the rock and her breath catches at this newcomer. He was tall, with broad shoulders, onyx green eyes, and...pink hair?
Lucy tilts her head at him. He was handsome, but his hair color was unusual.
"Oh. Ash brains. Can't a guy get away from you and your stupid cat?" The other boy said.
"Oh c'mon Gray. Happy was just playing." The pink haired boy says shrugging.
"Both of you are in so much trouble right now! Metalicana and Igneel have been breathing down my neck about where the hell you two went." A third man says. He had long black hair, red eyes, taller than the other boys, and he had piercings all over his face.
"Who is he?" Levy breaths. She was curious, Lucy and Juvia as well. They've never seen humans up close before.
"Oi! Gajeel. Geez we're coming." The pinky said.
"Yeah yeah." Gray says, his shirt now gone.
"Gray. Get. Your. Shirt. On." The metal headed boy, Gajeel growls.
"Hey! How'd that happen?!" Gray cries, his shirt disgaured on the sand. He grabs it and looks over at the rocks where the girls were hiding.
"Eep!" Juvia squeaks.
"You hear that?" Pinky asked, looking at Gajeel and Gray.
"Yeah I heard it Natsu. But we have no time for this. You may act like a carefree boy, but you have duties. You're a prince. And you have a kingdom to run." Gajeel said walking off.
"METALHEAD GET BACK HERE AND SAY THAT TO MY FACE!" The pink haired boy, Natsu yells running after Gajeel. Gray sighs, before staring back at the rocks with narrowed eyes.
"Coming popsicle?" Natsu's voice calls down. Gray groans.
"Yeah yeah pyro. I'm coming." He said running off. The girls turn around, sharing a collective sigh of relief.
"That was way to close!" Levy said sitting up. Lucy nods.
"Yeah. I mean, look at Juvia she might explode if that Gray guy looked at us again." She said as Juvia swam over to the large rock. The girls sat and talked for a bit.
"Who were they?" Lucy finally asked. Levy thinks for a moment.
"I think that was Prince Natsu of Skyler. That must've been Gray, Natsu's friend, a brother to him, also the Captain of the Guards." Levy said stretching her tail out.
"What about that Gajeel guy?" Lucy said, giving Levy a flirty look. Levy scoffs.
"The metalhead? He's the weapon master if I remember correctly. He and Natsu are cousins. King Igneel and Metalicana are brothers. Wow, merfolk may hate humans, but they have a ton of books on them in the seaweed library." Levy said. She rolls her eyes at Gajeel's name.
Lucy laughs. "Come on. We better be getting back to Atlantis. My father will be furious if he catches me up here." With that she dives gracefully back into the water. Juvia follows.
Levy stares at the sand, and the castle up on the cliffs. Something was going to happen that would change the course of their lives forever, she could feel it.
"Coming Levy-chan?" Lucy said popping out of the water.
"Hmm? Oh yeah! Coming Lu!" Levy said, and with that, she dived into the water.
