Okay, so I'm sorry about this being 2 days late. I do have tests, but if there are any improvements please tell me.

Lucy's POV

Ive been searching everywhere for those morons. At least Loke isn't following me.

Lucy stops as she hears arguing that could only come from Natsu and Gray

"No Erza to protect you flame brain!" Gray growled

"Wanna say that again icy wimp!?" Natsu yelled.

Both wizards began attacking each other with punches and kicks.

"Knock it off!" I yelled at the two. No luck, they weren't listening.

"Free food for the first one to get back to the guild!" I said seeing this wasn't going anywhere.

"Oh God! Ezra is coming and so looks beyond Pissed!" I said acting scared. Yup that got their attention. Both boys froze in place, it didnt even look like they were breathing.

"Crap! I dont see her!" Natsu said hiding behind a tree looking around while he trembled.

"Lucy! You need to help us. Come with us so Erza knows we werent fighting!" Gray said behind a bush.

"Well i dont know... You both having being fighting so much lately..." I said beginning to turn and walk away.

"Lucy! PLEASE!" they both yelled in unison.

"Alright! No need to yell..." I watched as the two mages began walking quickly back toward the guild. I followed right behind. They didnt even bother to ask if Erza was here or not.

===============================guild=======================================

Loke's POV

"Shade? What brings you here?" Loke asked, watching as the blond girl sat beside him.

"Well... You remeber those bandits who tried robbing my family last time..." Shade said looking a bit uneasy.

"Yeah, those bandits almost tore your mansion down." Loke said leaning back on the table.

"Their back... They havent tired attacking my family, but I've seen them look at my little brothers and sisters while we are on walks." Shade said, she looked pretty annoyed. "I came here to ask you, if you could get a team and guard the house until the gang is caught?" Shade said giving Loke a mission.

"Well, I'll do it for a kiss first." He replied.

Shade was a girl he tried hitting on in the past. He simply got ignored the whole time, or Shade didnt notices his hints about him trying to show her his 'love'. (which wasnt a true feeling.)

Shade stared at Loke blankly. "So will you take the job or not?" Shade said ignoring his last comment.

"Yes we'll take the job." He replied a little disappointed about not getting a kiss.

"Okay get your team and show them to my mansion's location." Shade said walking off.

Shade walked past Lucy and the other two as the left/entered the building. Lucy stopped and looked at the blond girl walking away from the guild.

'That girl looked like someone i knew a long time ago...' Lucy thought as she slowly began searching her memorys, only to be yelled at by Natsu and Gray.

"YOU LIED" They shouted at Lucy.

"Ezra hasn't even left the guild yet!" Gray said yelling with rage.

"You tricked us! I was going to kick this wimps butt until you stopped us!" Natsu stomped his foot.

"Kick my butt? It was the other way around Lizard boy!" Gray shouted.

"Your dead!" Natsu then tackled Gray and fighting began.

Loke watched as the fighting began spreading around the place. 'Well Erza is too focused on that Mission to pay attention, her cake is helping out too.' He thought then smilied as he saw Lucy and walked to her.

"I got a mission for us princess!" Loke said in a slight bow as he handed Lucy the paper with the details on it.

"This is a protection mission right? So we juts have to capture the bandits and its solved, seems simple enough." Lucy said smiling, she looked over to the fights and watched Natsu and Gray. She suddenly turned white as she saw something scary about to happen.

"Lucy dear, whats wrong?" He asked, Lucy only pointed to were Erza was sitting and turned white also.

Natsu and Gray were fighting close to Erza. Luckily she didnt pay attention to them. She took a scoop of some her cake and began to eat it. When suddenly Natsu was thrown ontop of the remaining part of the cake. Ezra, not knowing this, was about to scoop another pieice when she heard a 'ow' where her cake shouldve been.

"Oh Crap..." Everyone but Erza said.

"Hey Ezra, look at the time. I should really get going on a mission... Bye!" Natsu said quickly getting up and started to run but a hand grabbed his scarf, making him run in place.

"Natsu...your dead." Erza said darkly. She then began to beat Natsu up. All the guild members winced at each punch.

"Aye! whats going on here?" Happy flew in and landed on my shoulder.

"Natsu fell on Erza's cake." Lucy looked at Loke, as the cat sat on his shoulder. "Where were you?"

"thats not good... Aye, i was playing with Wendy." Happy said wincing as he heard Natsu scream.

"Loke, please can you break this up? Gramps is out for a retreat with other guildmasters." Lucy said giving me the puppy eyes.

"I...I..." I was really at a lose of words, I cant resist Lucy, those eyes make her too darn cute, but if I do step in, Ill nearly get killed again... "I'll Stopped the fight." I finally said. What. What?! Did I just agree to my death?!

"Oh thank you Loke!" Lucy said beginning to push me toward the madden Erza. Happy flew onto her shoulder as she backed away. "I'll always remeber you!" she said sweetly.

"Aye! i hope you have fish at your funeral."

'What?! They arent helping!' I thought. " Erza, calm down..." My voice trembled a bit as Erza's eyes laid on me. Pure anger dwelled within them.

"Want to die too...?" Erza replied in a demonic tone. She held a bloody Natsu who just passed out.

"I-I...We... Need Natsu for a-a new mission." My voice sounded so weak.

"...Very well here." Erza threw Natsu at Loke making Loke fall as Natsu landed on his back. "I am going on a solo mission. Lucy, make sure they dont get into trouble." Erza said walking out of the building with her cart of many supplies.

Everone was quiet. Erza calmed down like that and left?

"Natsu you okay?" Lucy said helping him up.

"Way to go Hot Head" Gray said glaring at Natsu.

"Well im fine, no need to ask." I said slowly standing up and popped my back then dusted myself off.

"Sorry Loke..." Lucy said as she handed the mission to gray.

"Protection mission...? Too easy." Gray said as he sat down. Natsu, fully recovered, snatched the paper and began reading it.

"Im all fired up! This mission is a piece of-" Natsu didnt dare say the last part as he handed the paper back to Lucy.

"Aye! Looks like Erza went on a solo mission." Happy said sitting on Natsu's shoulder.

"Well its not that easy." I replied. "I've dealt with these before, they put up a challenge."

"Lets all agree to meet outside of town okay? Loke said the location is in the forest area." Lucy said as she began walking off with Loke following her.

=========================The Next Day======================================

"Natsu is late..." Gray said impanteinly.

"This is going to make us look bad..." Loke replied.

"There he is!" Lucy pointed toward the pink haired mage running toward them.

"S...Sorry..." he panted caughting his breathe.

"we were eating breakfest Aye!" Happy said flying above the drangonslayer.

"When dont you eat...?" Loke said as he began walking toward the mission's location.

"The clients name is Shade Alexander, she has 3 brothers and 1 younger sister." Lucy said reading a small detail in the mission. 'Alexander...? Shade Alexander... The name sounds so familiar. i cant remember why...' Lucy began to get lost in her thoughts as she was on auto-pilot and continued walking.

"At least we aren't going by car..." Gray said, and Natsu's expression turned into a look of disgust.

"Im glad we didnt go by car." Natsu said snapping back and walked ahead of Gray.

=============================The Mansion=================================

Lucy couldnt figure it out, she snapped out of her small daydream and looked at the mansion.

The mansion's outter color was a light blue, with different decorations surrounding it. Toward the side of the mansion was a path that lead to a cliff, the sign said it was 15 miles away though.

"Lets go!" Natsu ran to the door and began knocking continuesly.

"They got a doorbell dumbass." Gray said, everyone was surprised he hadnt stripped yet, but knew it would happen soon.

"Coming!" A tiny voice said behind the door.

The door opened to show a small girl in a pink flower dress, her light brown hair was tied into small pigtails.

"May I help you...?" She asked shyly.

Lucy walked forward and kneeled down. "Is Shade Alexander here?" She asked sweetly.

"You mean Big Sis right? She's in her room with Icy. Ummm... Please come in...?" She asked opeing the door a little wider for them to enter.

The mansion was bigger then what it looked like from the outside! with a lavender carpet and the walls a white color. Staris lead to the 2nd floor.

"Alice!" Another voice yelled. A young boy, half as tall as natsu ran up to the young girl. he was wearing a black shirt with a red sleeveless jacket, and black jeans, with black and red boots.

"Alice, do you know where Tim is?" The boy asked the girl.

"Um... i think he is with Icy..." Alice said pointing at the stairs, meaning he was on the second floor.

"Thanks, also, who are these people, and why is one shirtless!" The boy said looking scared at Gray, along with Alice.

"Oh crap!" Gray said quickly grabbing his shirt and putting it back on.

"Pervert." Natsu whispered.

"Moron." Gray whispered back.

"Anyway, im Mark and this is my little sister Alice." Mark said gesturing toward his sister who gave a small wave.

"Slowpoke cant catch me!" A new voice teased. A boy with dark blonde hair stood at the top of the stairs with a big grin on his face.

"TIM! your dead! You ate the last slice of pizza!" Mark said running up the stairs and began chasing Tim.

"This looks familiar..." Gary said scratching his head.

"It does, where have I seen that..." Natsu crossed his arms looking up.

"Their like mini versions of you two" Loke said stepping inside the house.

"I'll get Shade." Alice said running up the stairs. She stopped at the top and said, "Wait in the living room, its the room to the left!" Alice then disppeared down a hallway.

"Come back here!" Tim roared as he chased Mark. Both ran down the stairs and into the living room, not noticing the wizards they began fighting.

"Idiot!" yelled Mark.

"Fatty!" Tim yelled back.

"Should we stopped them?" Lucy said as she and Loke gained sweat drops.

"You show him Mark!" Natsu cheered.

"Keep going Tim! Thats the way!" Gray cheered also.

The brothers continued fighting, with Gray and Natsu encouraging them. They didnt notice Shade walking down the stairs with Alice.

"Just what's going on here!?" Shade shouted making the two brothers stop fighting. "Why were you encouraging them!?" Shade yelled at Natsu and Gray

"Sorry..." All 4 of the boys said together.

"Whatever, at least you didnt make a mess." Shade sighed then looked at Lucy and Loke. "Lucy? Is that you?" She slowly walked over to the blond wizard.

"Im sorry I dont remeber you, but the name rings a bell." Lucy said sadly.

"I dont blame you, we use to play together a lot when we were little kids around the age of 4!" Shade began to chuckle.

"Really?!" Lucy stood up in shock. No wonder she didnt remeber, most of her childhood memories were blurry, or they were mostly of her spending time with mother and...him.

"We played until we both were 6 years old. That was when... I disappeared..." Shade said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Lucy asked a little concerened about her long lost childhood friend.

"Well... The thing was, people tried to kidnap me to steal my familys fortune. It didnt go well and i got seperated form my family, the kidnappers were caught though. I wandered in the woods for a few days until Kristeen took me in, and educated me." Shade explained.

"And people want to try to kidnap someone else right?" Loke said moving his glasses up.

"Yes, which is why I needed you to bring a big enough group. So you could buddy up with my brothers and sisters." Shade said.

"I call Tim!" Gray said, grabbing the boys hand.

"I got Mark!" Natsu grinned picking up Mark and putting him on his shoulder."

"So Lucy and Loke you both will watch over Alice and me. Our rooms can have about 4 people sleeping in them so no worries." Shade smilied

"I hope we arent a burden..." Alice said from behind Shade.

"Not at all!" Lucy said smiling.

"Hey Shade, wheres Noah?" Loke said looking around the room.

"Truthfully i havent seen him lately. He studies too much and worries about taking over the business." Shade said. "Anyway lets so them to our rooms." Shade got Alice's hand and walked up the stairs with everyone following her. Each Alexander when into their room; Shade and Alice shared a room, and Tim and Mark shared their room.

"Holy crap!" Natsu yelled. "Is that a baby Dragon!?" a expression of shock filled his face.

The dragon was a crystal blue color, tiny wings, small claws and a small body.

"Dont wake Icy up." Tim whispered.

"Icy belongs to Alice, she found him as a egg in the forest while she was lost." Mark said.

"Worry about it in the morning." Gray said going to his bed, as the brothers went to theirs.

"Aye, Natsu, come on lets sleep." Happy floated to the last empty bed and laid on his back on the pillow.

"Why does she have a dragon... Is it fake?" Natsu said staring at it sleep.

happy: "Aye! Whats going to happen next!"

Amethyst: "Loke kissing Lucy."

Happy: " well thats obivious because they 'liiiiiiike' each other."

Amethyst: "darn right."

Happy: "Hoped you enjoyed, third chapter coming in 2 days!"
