So I have decided to rewrite these chapters. I'm hoping they are a bit better then before. I know it still may need work but in time.

The story is set up about 3 months after the guild returns.

Dont own Fairy Tail.

Lucy stumbled a bit on the uneven path she was climbing up. She was almost there at the perfect spot, her spot, to see the stars. The sun had just set, she grabbed her flashlight and picked up the pace.

Finally she made it to a small clearing near the edge of the mountain. She put down the bag she had been carrying and then summoned Plue to join her.

"Hey Plue." She said as she gave him a hug. After releasing him from the hug, Lucy reached in her bag pulling out a blanket and laid it on the ground. She looked out over the edge, suddenly feeling Plue bump into her. She turned around, eyes widened at the sight of a dark large dog staring at them. There was a few seconds of silence before the dog let out a deep bark and rushed towards them. Lucy let out a scream.

Laxus was making his way up a path when he heard a scream from a head of him. He took off running towards where it came from. He made it to the small clearing and stopped dead in his track. He stood there staring at the blonde who was trying to stop his dog from licking her face, and beside them was a shaking white...spirit sitting and watching.

"Zeus!" The dog stopped his licking attack on the blonde and went over to Laxus's side.

Lucy looked over to see Laxus standing there, so she smiled, "hi Laxus."

"What are you doing up here Blondie?" his face had his normal scrowl.

Lucy stood up after wiping her hands off, "there is going to be a meteor shower tonight. So I came for the show." She sets up the small lantern. Her gaze then goes to the brindle colored Mastiff that is sitting by Laxus's side.

She walks over to them and kneels down in front of the dog, reaching a hand out. "Zeus was it? Do you know how to shake?" The dog barked and lifted his paw placing it in her hand. She smiled and stood back up. "I didn't know you had a dog."

"Other then my team and Gramps, no one does." He glares at her. "Where's your team?" He asks looking around. If they are on the way he should head back now to avoid them.

"Gray, Natsu, and Happy find it boring and end up fighting or complaining the whole time. Erza says she doesn't mind but I can tell she gets bored and besides she is on a mission. So Plue and I come up here." She paused before continuing. "They don't know about this place so your secret is safe. I promise I won't say anything."

He noticed she didn't meet his stare. 'So this is her secret place.' He stepped forward to look over the edge and then up at the sky, "Yours too." He looked back at her. She had taken a seat on the blanket and Zeus was laying on one side with his head on her lap.

"Thanks Laxus." She pets Zeus's head, "You look scary but you're a big softy huh?" Zeus snuggled closer to her as she laughed.

Laxus was dumbfounded at how his dog was acting towards Lucy. Even more how Lucy didn't seem afraid of him at all.

"You would probably ruin Laxus's image if everyone knew that your just a softie."

Laxus let out a small tsk and smirked at Lucy's comment. She noticed it and smiled.

"So when does your show start?"

"Soon...Do you...wanna stay and watch?" she had a slight blush asking that.

He was silent for few moment, 'Shit I should answer her.' "I...never seen a meteor shower. What is it exactly?" He sat down and glanced over at her and she looked shocked but began to explain.

While she was explaining she noticed the show starting, "Look!" Lucy pointed towards the night sky. Laxus, Zeus, and Plue all looked up. It was only a few meteors here and there to start but soon more and more came into view.

Lucy reached in her bag and pulled out a small blanket, instead of covering herself she covered Plue, who was lying between the two blondes.

The show was right over them, Lucy laid back her arm crossing behind her head for support. Laxus noticed she was wearing a light blue tank top and a short pair of black shorts so he took off his coat and threw it over her. "Thanks." Laxus grunted a reply and copied Lucy's position.

While the show was going on Lucy spoke, "Where's the Thunder God Tribe?"

Laxus didn't bother to look over at her, "You know they are not permanently attached to my side."

"Are you sure?" She asked but there was no reply. That was fine with her Laxus wasn't much of a talker.

"You stopped writing once the guild was reestablished."

With this Lucy turned her head to face the male Blonde. 'Was he reading my articles?' "Yeah. I still write, just not for the magazine anymore."

(Flashback)

Laxus only hummed as he was recalling the time he saw her in Blue Pegasus surrounded by Ever, Bickslow, and Freed. The four of them were smiling and laughing. Master Bob had approached her and the two walked off.

I walked over to greet the Thunder legion before I went and got another solo mission.

"What's Blondie doing here?" Ever gave me a quick hug while Bickslow slapped my shoulder.

"Lucy is here to write an article for Sorcerer's Weekly." Freed answered.

"Are you staying for awhile? I'm sure Lucy would be happy to see you." Ever asked.

"We barely know each other." I know what she was really trying to pull. She along with Freed and Bicks' were hoping I wouldn't rush off on another mission. I ordered a drink and sat back with my friends waiting till Master Bob was done.

Lucy came out of the office a small smile on her face. She walked over to the table we were at and had a surprised look on her face, then it turned up into a smile, "Hi Laxus."

"Hey."

"Did you get everything you needed for the article?" Ever asked. She nodded and then said her goodbyes before leaving. We could all see she wasn't the same. None of us were, but life goes on.

I stood up after finishing my beer and walked over to Master Bob. He handed me a paper and I bid my friends bye.

Outside I seen Lucy sitting on a bench with her head down. "Blondie!" I shouted scaring her and she tried to discreetly wipe away the evidence of her tears. She turned and faced me. "You know you could join Blue Pegasus even team up with the Thunder God Tribe."

"Thanks Laxus. But I'm not ready for that yet."

I reached out ruffled her hair a bit, "Hang in there Blondie. The offer is open so if you're ever ready." I walked off and gave her a small hand wave.

(End Flashback)

Laxus laid there even after the shower had stopped, he could tell Lucy had fallen asleep. 'Should I wake her up?' he thought. He just stayed there finding the sound of her breathing relaxing. He closed his eyes and drifted to sleep himself.

Once he was sleep a pink haired figure appeared before them. She unfolded the blanket in her hand and covered the sleeping blondes. She then put a bowl on the ground and filled it with water. She smiled before disappearing to the spirit world.

It was early morning but still dark when Lucy woke up and felt an arm wrapped around her, she ignored it due to the strong urge to pee, getting up she heard a low growl but continued to stumbled a bit into the woods. Once she came back she saw Laxus lifted the blanket up so she could crawl back in beside him. She smiled slightly and curled up next to as he wrapped his arm around her and pulled her closer.

Laxus sat up resting one arm on his elbow, looking down at the girl laying beside him. 'She does look cute...' He was pulled from his thoughts when she started to stir. His arm was still wrapped around her waist. 'Shit. How am I going to explain this?'

"Mornin'" He waited for her to freak out.

'So warm.' She turned her head up to look at him and gave him a smile. Then turned on to her back and stretched, "Mornin' Laxus." Laxus removed his arm from around her as she sat up and began to pet Zeus who was on her other side.

'She didn't freak out? Is she really going to pretend like it's normal.' Laxus stood up and went into the woods.

'He must have thought I would freak out. ehhh my hair...I bet I look like a mess. Great.' Lucy thought as she tried to fix her hair and rub the sleep out of her eyes. She got up and started to fold the blankets. 'Virgo must have brought this one.'

Laxus returned and helped her, then picked up his coat and swung it over his shoulders. "Do you want to join me for breakfast?" He had heard Lucy's stomach grumble and knew his was too.

"Yeah." She grabbed the bag and followed Laxus and Zeus down the path. "You know, You're quite the cuddler." He glared at her. "You even growled at me."

At that Laxus froze and watched as Lucy passed him with a huge smirk on her face 'Damn this little minx.' He caught up to her and lead the way to his house, that wasn't to far from the spot.

The rest of the walk they remained silent and soon his house came into view. Lucy noticed they were in a different part of the forest still. From the outside it didn't look like anything grand just a normal two story house. in front of the house was a stream with a wooden bridge over it for them to took the path to the house, Laxus took out his key and let Zeus push his way in first, followed by Lucy and himself.

Lucy glanced around at the living room taking a mental note of everything. The ceiling was vaulted and there was a stone fireplace along one of the walls next to a set of stairs. A brown couch and matching set of chairs. A coffee table with some magazine on it, a tv lacrama was attached to the wall.

Laxus walked up to Lucy and put a finger under her chin to lightly pushed his jaw closed. She puffed out her cheeks, then followed Laxus into the next room that turned out to be the kitchen. What caught her eye in here was the wall or lack of. There was a larger sliding glass door and windows that reached from floor to ceiling. She walked over to take a look at the view while Laxus started messing around in the fridge. There was a porch with nothing much on it but a grill and a few chairs, behind that was the forest. She thought it would be nice to just sit out there and read.

The smell of food forced her to turn her attention back to the room. She took a seat at the table and Laxus dropped a plate of eggs, bacon and toast in front of her. "I got beer and water...what do want?"

"Waters fine." She took a bite and decided it wasn't bad.

Laxus took a seat beside her, his plate filled with food. Zeus came in beside him, "Here" taking a piece of bacon off his plate he gave it to the dog. Laxus heard an 'aww' come from Lucy but ignored her. Both ate in silence until they were done.

Lucy got up and offered to wash the dishes. Laxus refused but she insisted and ended up drying while he washed. After finishing she gave Zeus a hug and a few minutes of petting love.

"Hey." Lucy looked up to Laxus. "Don't say a word about this." His voice was low and almost treating and his facial expression was serious.

Lucy put her finger on her chin and began to think or at least pretend to, "About Zeus? or do you mean about watching the stars with me?" she paused and continued, "Or is it where you live and the fact that you made me breakfast? I bet it's really about you being a big cuddle bug."

Suddenly Lucy's back hit the wall behind her, not necessarily hard but enough to startle her. She also felt the hand on her arm that had pushed her, she couldn't look up.

"Not a word about any of this, Blondie." He let go of her feeling a bit bad, not sure if he had really hurt her.

She was hurt, not because of being push against the wall. It was more the lack of trust Laxus suddenly had in her. She had thought he trusted her more since they had somewhat became friends during the guilds break.

She pushed off the wall once Laxus had moved a step back. She heard a small "sorry" come from him as he did. But her eyes were still cast down afraid to look at him. She walked over to the door and opened it. She inhaled and forced a small smile on her face, then turned around facing Laxus. "You value your privacy, I know that. So I wouldn't think to betray a friend's trust... Thank you for...everything. See ya around Laxus." With that she left heading off in the direction of her home.
