'Thoughts'
Inside the mansion in the middle of the room was the lizard Team Natsu had been fighting. "What are you doing here?!" Lucy panicked slightly as Loke moved in front of her, ready to attack if the lizard did anything. The lizard regarded the two with calculating eyes before being engulfed by a golden light. Lucy and Loke watched in shock as the lizard grew in size so it was now the size of the foyer. "The dragon you guys had to catch... Was actually the lizard." Loke whispered in shock as continued to protect Lucy.
The dragon was a deep midnight blue with silver and gold scales spread out over its body to resemble the night sky. Its moonlight colored eyes gazed at Lucy and Loke as a soft voice echoed throughout the room. "Forgive me, Lucy Heartfilia. I did not mean to cause you any grief, but I brought you here in order to teach you. My name is Celeste, the Celestial Dragon." The dragon-Celeste explained, earning more shocked silence from the two wizards.
'A celestial dragon? Wait, teach me/her?!' They both thought incredulously. "Before we continue though, you must rest. It is raining quiet a bit, and you are both soaked." Celeste stated kindly as changed back to her lizard form and led the two to different rooms that would be theirs. Loke disappeared into his room and returned to the celestial world to explain what was going on to the other celestial spirits while Celeste led Lucy to her room.
~The Next Morning~
The curtains of Lucy's room were opened to reveal a still cloudy sky. Loke turned to his sleeping friend and chuckled quietly. Lucy had managed to cling to one of her pillows sometime in the night and looked even more adorable clutching her keys that were on the pillow itself. "Lucy~ it's time to wake up~" Loke called softly in a sing song voice. Lucy opened her eyes and yawned tiredly before sitting up. "Good morning, princess." Loke said with a cheerful smile. "'Morning Loke..." Lucy replied tiredly before her eyes snapped open immediately to regard the lion spirit.
"Wait-what are you doing in my room?!" She all but screamed while Loke sat down beside her, laughing. "I'm performing my duties as your attendant, of course." He replied. Celeste chose that moment to enter the room and leap onto the bed to explain. "In this world, you must have an attendant, someone who will undoubtedly protect you from the dangers that occur here. You must know that you are going to be known as a noble, and that people will do anything to achieve their goals. I will be teaching you dragon slayer magic, as well as that of the stars and about the different beings that reside in this world." Celeste's scales began to shine brightly as she spoke before several fell onto the bed cover softly and changing shape.
One scale turned into a gold ring with twelve stars forming a heart with a capital H in the middle. Two of the scales turned into a pair of pink ribbons that were same shade of pink as Lucy's guild mark. Five of the scales turned into golden bracelets with a single red heart on them. The rest of the scales turned into silver phones with twelve stars that formed a heart and a different colored Fairy Tail insignia on the front. Loke picked up a phone with a green Fairy Tail insignia while Lucy picked up a phone with a pink one.
The others were red, blue, sky blue, white with an orange outline, two green, yellow, white with a silver gray outline, two black, and three with Blue Pegasus insignias. "The ring will be used to seal letters and identify you as a Heartfilia. The other items before you will be entrusted to the wizards you feel can keep a secret, although it looks a bit specific and obvious. We shall start your at noon." Celeste finished explaining and left the room to prepare. Lucy's mind was spinning slightly from all the information and she worried about her friends and Loke's ability to stay in the human world for so long again.
As though reading her mind, Loke explained his plan to his key holder and friend. "Lucy, you don't have to worry so much. I explained everything to the Celestial Spirit King and told him to treat this as a long mission. Virgo and I have made plans to switch places once in a while, but we can be here at the same time to keep you company. Also, would you like me to deliver those items for you?" He asked gently as Lucy nodded and decided to look through the phone in her lap.
Loke's name appeared with his new phone number on one for speed dial. The numbers of the other phones appeared, each with a person's name, which she quickly changed to nicknames so they wouldn't be looked into, with Loke she simply changed to Leo. "Wait, if your going to be my attendant, doesn't that mean you'll be like a servant? I can't do that to my spirits! It goes against what I stand for Loke!" Lucy panicked as she thought over Celeste's explanation and Loke's earlier words.
Loke smiled gently once more and patted Lucy's head softly to calm her down. "Don't worry Lucy. Besides, it's my job to protect you. Just think of this as a very long mission, and that I'm playing the role of attendant. I promise, no one will think any different of you. Think of it as another one of my ways for repaying you." Loke explained calmly, holding up the phone in his hand happily. "You can call whenever you want, too. I promise, I won't ever leave you alone." When he finished, Lucy lowered her head slightly so her bangs covered her eyes, then she abruptly turned to Loke and hugged him tightly.
Loke, slightly taken aback by her sudden movement, relaxed and returned the hug with a small laugh. "Thank you Loke." Lucy whispered as she let go and reached for her keys. "Open, Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" Virgo appeared in a bright golden light as a doorbell sound echoed from her entrance. "Punishment time, Princess?" Virgo asks like she always does. 'Why does she ask me that?' Lucy thought as Loke took the items on the bed and moved them to the nightstand before exiting the room. "I'm going to make sure everything is in place real quick. I'm sure that Virgo can help you figure out what to wear. If you need anything Lucy, just call." Loke bowed playfully before exiting and checking the different rooms of the mansion.
Lucy nodded as Virgo began looking through the walk in closet in the room and placed in clothes from the celestial spirit world that would be more comfortable and familiar than the formal dresses inside. "Try this one Princess." Virgo returned with a blue long sleeved dress with yellow star patterns on the skirt and a light gray ribbon around the waist. After putting on the dress and a pair of gold heels, Lucy brushed her hair and left it down before thanking Virgo and going to meet Loke and Celeste in the foyer.
