Lucy sighed slid down into the relaxing Boscan waters until just her nose hovered above it ' stupid Laxus making me go on this trip. Maybe I can get some new story ideas in Bosco ' "at least Kaleb is taking me to the celeste academe one of the most renowned places known to heavenly body users."

She felt ripples as a tall man slid in beside her feeling her hair stand on edge a little she chose to ignore him until he finally cleared his throat low enough not to catch the attention of the bath attendant "are you ok you seem annoyed"

Looking over at the man she shrugged "just thinking about home I guess. I'm Lucy and you are"

He paused as if debating to answer stroking his braid he had put his hair into to make it more manageable while he bathed "… Hestor"

The celestial mage studied him her instinct told her to ignore the man in front of her but as she started to exit a voice in the back of her head told her to sit back down and relax into the steaming water. Maybe it was the scent of the grass sea pumped into the tub that caused her to be so reckless but as she buried her body to where her soft chin was just barely touching the water she noticed a bright glimmer of a key beside his towel " are you a celestial mage, what keys do you have?

He smirked holding them carefully above the water holding out his black keys as well as several charcoal grey keys and silver ones. " the black are the four princes of hell: Lucifer, Leviathan, Satan and Belial. The grey ones: Astaroth, Maggot, Asmodee, Beelzebub, Oriens, Paimon, Ariton and Amaymon. Many people think that because the key is from hell that they are evil but actually most of these keys will only become evil like their masters, but I think you know that don't you LUCY"

She gasped as she felt a shiver she knew was not knew was not related to the bath left her. Before she she could comment on it bickslow fell into the room billowing smoke surrounding their bodies as the busty blonde ground herself downward onto of the seith moaning as loudly as she could.

Lucy stood abruptly ignoring the fact that the strangers in the bath with her was eyeing the water dripping down her body. One stood to proposition her but the glaring man that had been chatting her up followed after her.

Bickslow

Bickslow groaned as he sat up on the bed covering his with his hands not wanting to look at his surroundings until his younger brother's voice caused him to peak through the slotted appendage. "you're an idiot you know that right?"

He shook his head and dropped his hand "what did I do no-" his hand landed onto something firm but squishy. he squeezed a couple of times finding his finger playing with what he hoped was just a soft pebble. He looked over his shoulder and found a strange woman in his bed.

"look I know pleasure is pleasure but you don't have sex with someone else if you're trying to pursue a Fioarian. Even I know that" he paused watching what a appeared to be a transformation mage transform into a black haired green eyed slender woman and left the room. "you know Lucy was there right. She watched whoever that woman was ride the ever living shit out of you. We brought her along so that you could get with her not tear her up"

Bickslow frowned as what his brother accused him of hit him like a pile of bricks "its just Lucy's been avoiding me since we boarded the ship and I just wanted some stress relief"

"so you sought pleasure in the baths even though she was in the same room that was smart" Vander raised an eyebrow

"no it wasn't like that I just went to the bar to drink and they were serving Corvus shots and you know how strong those are. Anyways I vaguely remember wandering to the steam showers and a woman who looked like Lucy came up to me and asked me to have sex with her. Kaleb is going to kill me if Laxus, Natsu, Gajeel and Wendy don't kill me first." His head fell into his hands as he jerked on his blue hair internally beating himself into a deeper whole "I don't deserve her as soul mate"

Vander at the scene in front of him. He hadn't seen the man this upset since he acquired his latest Pupu in Stella. a distressed child, Who was murdered by a serial rapist in front of his mother. The poor thing felt it was his responsibility to protect his mother and held on just long enough for the Vander, Zen and bickslow to arrive. They had tried everything to save the boy but the child body was to far gone. The Pradesh brothers all agreed to refuse the reward and intern used it to pay for the victims funerals. Bickslow had tried to encourage his soul to move on but the child held so much pain.

Shaking his head he sat down beside his weeping brother and rubbed his back "bix you were under the influence and thought the bimbo was Lucy. She probably scanned your memories to see what appealed to you the best. One of the white sea mages took her back to her room and got her settled so she's fine physically at least but you need to get it together. Even star shine has her limitations on wanting something or someone"

He heard Vander leave as he thought about how the queens of Fairy tail tore into him

Bickslow slammed his head into the table. this morning he postponed his trip by a couple of hours by and arrived at the guild earlier then normal to check on Lucy.

However the only thing he found was Lucy buried in her L-tablet. He could see the gears turning in her beautiful blonde head as she typed away furiously trying to get her story out. The only thing he received from her was a forced smile.

Cana on the other hand had no trouble sending glares at the seith mage and made it her personal mission to destroy his life. She arrived before Lucy and immediately marched up to levy, Lisana and Mira. All it took was five seconds into the gossip he knew was about last night and he feel his back getting ripped apart by some of the strongest mages in the guild.

Cana lead the group of woman up to the s class floor "when I set you up on this I didn't expect you to ruin it so bad" Bickslow looked up ready to apologize but Vander stepped in "he didn't mess it up we did. They were having a great time and when we thought was the right moment we joined."

Lisana scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest "your just taking the blame since you guys are leaving today"

Vander's red eyes turned on her feeling his anger rise "trust me sweetie unlike you Fiorians in Bosco we don't lie about things like that. I was trying to help her out considering if she didn't do it she would break her out and ultimately break her contracts. Or did you forget about that in your search to crucify somebody "Vander turned to the rest of group "now if you excuse me my brother and I have some packing to do. Kaleb we'll see you at bix's"
