The next day Lucy was at the guild waiting for Natsu to pick a good job to go on, it was his turn to pick after all.

"Hey guys, I got a good job, it's a 200,000 jewel job to defend a town from some crazy monsters."

Lucy wasn't paying attention and was still thinking about Loke. Eventually, she saw a paw moving in front of her face followed by the words.

"Hello, earth to Lucy, we've got a job."

She snapped out of her thoughts,

"Oh sorry Happy, I just had some things on my mind that's all. But let's get going, this sounds like a great job."

"Aye."

As they left Mirajane thought to herself.

"That look on Lucy's face. I know I've seen something like that there before."

The job they did was finished early so they decided to use he rest of the day for themselves. Lucy thought that since there was a bath house close by that she would use it. As she was bathing her thoughts about Loke came back to her.

"Why is my mind on Loke constantly? I still can't believe I didn't resist his hug. Am I really? No, it can't be, after this bath things should get back to normal."

After the bath Lucy began to walk home, but not without being stopped along the way.

"Hey baby, what's a girl like you doing here all by herself?"

"I'm going home thank you very much."

The man was persistent,

"Aww come on, someone like you going home on a night like this? Why not come with me?"

"Because I have other things to do, and I'd rather not waste my time with some creep."

The man grabbed Lucy, but she hit him and tried her best to escape. But the man had used magic that slowed her down.

"What's happening to me? I can't move fast enough. Is this guy a wizard?"

As soon as the man grabbed Lucy's arm there was a ball of light that hit him, it was Loke.

"Loke."

He reached out to Lucy's hand and picked her up.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, thanks for saving me. But who was that guy?"

"It was a rouge wizard, he was banned from his guild for using his magic to do nasty things to people, including girls. We'd better turn him in before he wakes up."

After they turned him in Lucy turned to Loke and said,

"Again, thanks for saving me back there."

"I'm your knight in shining armor, it's what I'm supposed to do. Also, since I'm here can I walk home with you?"

Lucy wanted to say no, but instead she said,

"Yes, but please use your human form, I don't want anybody getting suspicious."

So Loke changed into his human form, and walked Lucy home. As they got home, Loke gave her another hug and said,

"Goodnight Lucy."

As he left for the spirit world Lucy started blushing.

"It's happening again. What am I feeling? Could it be?"

The next day at the guild Lucy was eating her lunch waiting for the next job to take, and once again she had that same look on her face from yesterday. Miria then walked up to Lucy and asked,

"Lucy, Are you okay?"

Lucy shook her head and said,

"Yeah, I'm fine Mira I just have a lot on my mind."

Miria then looked at her face and saw that she was blushing.

"Really, like what?"

"Well, I just feel as if there's something that won't leave my mind, Its as if there's this new feeling inside of me."

Mira then connected the pieces together.

"Lucy, I think I can tell what's going on."

Lucy stood up and asked,

"What? What is it?"

"You're in love."

Lucy froze at the comment.

"I'm in love?"

Unknowingly to her a water mage was listening to every word being spoken.

"Juvia, hears Lucy say she's in love."

She thought as she continued to listen.

"I can tell Lucy, the blushing the faces you're making. It all means that you're in love. I've seen that same look on Bisca's face when she met Alzack. So there's only one way to get this off your chest."

"W-what should I do?"

"Just go to the guy and say you love him."

Lucy thought about it for a minute, then she agreed. Meanwhile, Juvia thought it was time to take desperate measures.

"Juvia will follow her Gray to hope that Lucy's crush is not him."
