Chapter 2

"So what's got you so happy?" Natsu asked as he peered at his daughter who was playing with a strap that consisted of a red dragon cradling a star around its body. While waiting for her response, he made a left on the way home.

"Aunt Levy's best friend is incredible. She just so amazing dad and it's so hard to describe what I felt when I got to know her. She loves to write, astrology, reading, working on her next products and most of all the plush dog, Plue," Lina beamed as Natsu's interest began to peak as he watches his daughter continue talking about Levy's best friend. "So she found someone to look up to," Natsu smiled softly at this mysterious person who brought his daughter to smile. As they arrived home, Natsu's mood began to diminish as this small time with Lina has ended. Sighing in remorse, Natsu opened his car door as Lina got out as well, then locked the car doors. Once they entered their home, Natsu watched his daughter settle her things and was about to go check whose turn it was to cook dinner tonight.

"Alright, you're sleeping over Uncle Jellal and Aunt Erza's house for a week. So start packing up," Natsu jabbed a finger in the direction of her room. Lina stopped in the hallway mid-way and turned to face her father with a suspicious look.

"Wait, when I go to stay with Aunt Erza that means I'm going to be in protection. So who are you seeing?" Lina crosses her arms against her chest and Natsu cannot seem to find a way to not tell her. Still her dark blue eyes stared into his soul and he had a good feeling Mira taught her that one.

"Man...your grandpa Igneel, Bolt Head,and I are going to be in a meeting with Sabertooth's president and vice-president. We are making sure nothing bad happens to you like last time," Natsu sighs and rubs his head as a memory came to him. Recalling it he winces and wonders if it make re-occur again, then feels a comforting hand rest against his.

"It wasn't your fault. Besides dad you are heir to the Dragneel company, which controls police forces, maintains hospitals, school funds, metal works, publishing, and entertainment. Don't forget that Aunt Erza is the captain of the fairy forces also known as Titantia, "Lina smiles as her father nods in agreement. Natsu ruffles her hair and heads to help her out with packing.

**At a cafe**

"Levy, your class was so sweet and funny," laughed a certain blonde woman as she takes a sip of her water she ordered. After Lina left, Levy suggested to go to a café.

"I know...sigh...you should see what happens when my friends come," Levy sulks as Lucy tried to brighten her spirits.

"Lina was my favorite out of the class, maybe it has to do with her personality or how she seems to catch on what I'm thinking," Lucy smiles as she remembers her conversation with the pinkette.

"Hey don't you dare replace me," Levy teased as she jumps in joy in her mind about Lucy being the one they have been waiting for. Though it's too soon to tell and he doesn't really look like he wants to date anyone at all.

"Maybe I'll replace you with one of your friends since I'm staying get here for a week and a half," Lucy teases back as Levy looked at her shocked.

"I can't believe you and I doubt you find an incredible friend like me. Just to let you know not all of them are into the books we like," Levy laughed as Lucy gasped in surprise.

"How do you survive here then which reminds me what's a good gift to give to my neighbors?" Lucy tapped her cheek in wonder of what her neighbors look like.

"Who are you living by? I could probably help out if I know them," Levy smiles at her friend who's considerate at presenting herself to people.

"Thing is I don't really know who they are, but I know so far that there's a girl living there with a blue cat," Lucy leans in and whispers as Levy giggles.

"Is that a new story you are planning on creating?" Levy watches as her friend shrugs and when Lucy wasn't watching a huge smirk appeared on the bookworm's face.

"Oh hey Levy your phone is vibrating? Incoming text from the one," Lucy teases as Levy tells her to shut up. She opens her phone and sighs in defeat knowing that there will be no romance for anyone this week.

"What's up?" Lucy sips her water some more as Levy shook her head to the side and said that there was this terrible rat in the place she was staying that just bugs everyone out of their mind especially a guy she knows who owns a business.

"You could have just told me it was a rat problem you know," Lucy deadpanned as Levy laughs and notice her friend pick up the phone.

"Yeah, I guess and isn't your phone blinking?"Levy distracted Lucy as she looked to see that it was. Looking at the screen,she sighed and looked at Levy with a sad face.

"I have to go Levy hopefully we can spend some time together like this. Oh and also invite your friends to join us, Bye," Lucy waved at her as she headed out the store towards her car. The drive home was silent, but calm as Lucy took in the town's scenery into detail for her next story. The light turned green and she made a turn upon arriving to her temporary home where it looks like her neighbors were leaving. She parked into the driveway and watched from the side mirror a girl that looked like Lina heading inside the car.

"Man, I must have taken her into my mind and imagine her here. Then again she's such a cutie and very intelligent for her age. Though it looks like I won't be able to greet my neighbors again," Lucy watches as the car leaves and gets out. She locks her car and heads inside her home, shutting the door tightly while checking to see what she should do before the meeting. Looking at the clock, she had three hours to kill until the meeting. Sighing, she head for the bathroom to take a long relaxing shower and then look in the fridge to make something to eat.

"Hm...oh it's a text from him again," Lucy heard her phone vibrate on the counter and checked to see who the message was from.

"Jeez he always treats me like a child even though he's a year older. Another text again...wait its a call," Lucy finished replying and placed her phone in the same place once more until it vibrates once more.

"Yes?"

"Are you sure you don't want me to pick you up Lady Luck?"

"What's this? Do I hear the iron-will man speak of worriness for me?"

"Shut your trap, I'm making sure you ain't going to be kidnapped or mobbed. Anyways don't b-"

"I won't be late and stop worrying already. It's nice but out of character for someone like you."

"Tch...I can be nice but I aint one of those frilly pansies in your stories."

"Those frilly pansies got us the top selling novel award may I remind you?"

"Yeah...yeah freakin imaginary characters...that reminds me what's this next story going to be about anyway?"

"Well I have a idea but I don't know if it will work. I do plan to start the outline soon before completely writing the novel all together."

"Is it another series of Wolf Girl and Black Prince? That one including others have been demanding a second story."

"Nope it's a completely new separate series, but I can't seem to put my finger on what the title should be."

"Well I leave all that brain work to you, but don't overwork yourself to the point of all nighters."

"Yes...I know and don't get too frisky with your so-called meetings with women from other companies or else that girl you've been telling me about might just leave you."

"Damn I hate it when you point out what I need to be wary for. Even so don't put me in place of that Loke of yours."

"Of course and he's not mine may I remind you? We're just childhood friends and he's married to Aries."

"Are you sure it's not a lie?"

"No I don't think the baby in her stomach would agree with you."

"Seriously? The girl's pregnant...if he ditches her then I'm showing her to a new man."

"Man...Loke has not had any affairs at all and besides he's the one who told me."

"Alright I'll let you go to get ready, but wear something casual since this is my friend's cafe. Also-the hell Salamander can't you see I'm on the phone?" Man, that guy appeared again.

"Ah is everything alright?" I could heard the sound of whining and complaints.

"I will talk to you later since this moron is starting to piss me off."

"Okay see you later then," I heard loud taunts and a sound of fighting or maybe arguing.

Lucy checked the time to see she have an hour left and trudge over to her room to change into something casual. After putting on a nice red shirt that looked decent and some dark jeans to go with the black sneakers, she was applying little make-up since it wasn't a fancy place they were going to.

"Now then I should get working on what the next novel should be for the time being?" Lucy sat in her chair and grabbed a piece of paper to start off the outline. A few minutes passes as she is laying on her desk with a stressed look as Plue whimpers in sympathy for his master. She slowly gets up and looks at him with a small smile, then looks back at the blank paper before her.

She tries to see what kind of story will come to her and grimaces at the lack of creativity she can't produced.

"Man...this isn't easy yet the idea sounds pretty interesting. Hm...should I ask Levy tomorrow for opinion? What do you think Plue?" Lucy starts to get off her seat and comes forth Plue who was snuggled up with his stuffed animal self. Lucy stares into his beady black eyes and wonders if it would have been better to get a smaller size of the stuffed animal. She pats his head and hears him bark "Pun~" in happiness as she continues stroking him.

"Plue, you're so cute and it's pretty funny that everyone assumes you're not a dog. Well boy, I have to go and be a good doggie when I get back," Lucy gets up and heads to the dining room to grab her keys. After checking if everything was locked up, she heads outside and into her car. She arrived on time in front of Mira's cafe as a car parked beside hers. She didn't mind it and proceeded inside the cafe and was taken in by the interior design. The inside seem to have this home-like atmosphere and a second level where people were enjoying their time here. The place was design with cement, but there were tables that were picnic tables or round tables. While observing the area, Lucy was pushed forward and landed on the ground roughly. She looked to see a man with pink hair walking away, ignoring her since he was the one who didn't acknowledge her at all. Getting up, she caught up with him and gently pat his shoulder to get his attention. He turned and looked at her blankly as Lucy waited for him to speak first.

"Do you need something Blondie?" Lucy felt herself irked by that, but continued to smile at him.

"Sir, you didn't seem to pay attention that you pushed me and didn't apologized for it?" He blinked at her and thought for a minute before hitting his fist on his upward palm.

"Oh isn't it your fault? Besides if you just want an apology just ask for it, weirdo. Today is not my day and I really don't want to be here. Anyways I humbly apologize your highness for not knowing you were there," He took a bow as Lucy felt herself getting irritated with this jerk.

"Thank you and I will like to remind you that I'm not a princess," He waved her off and was about to leave until he noticed something behind her.

"What are you looking at? Hello-" He silenced her with a kiss, and her eyes widen in shock as she heard a sob from behind. Once he released her, she turned to see a girl with brown hair and green eyes crying and running off to who knows where.

"Well now I can go home, thanks blondie," The man was about to leave until Lucy roundhouse kick him and he crashed into a table.

"You are a despicable being and I hope to never get to know the likes of you. Oh and another thing," Lucy strut up to him and slapped him across the face.

"How dare you steal my first kiss!" Lucy seethed out and went away from the pinkette who froze on spot by her words. She heard the sound of people begin to surround him as she went to a different section of the cafe where the meeting is going to be held between two people and herself. Still seething in anger, she suddenly felt someone behind her and her hair is suddenly being ruffled by someone.

"Gajeel, you jerk don't mess with my hair," Lucy playfully glare at her friend as he laughed.

"Well I did say we dressed casual, so your hair doesn't need to look fancy," Gajeel smirk as Juvia roughly pushed him aside and hugged Lucy.

"Lucy, it's been awhile. Is something the matter?" Juvia held her out and look into her face.

"Just an idiot causing problems," Lucy pouted as Gajeel laughed and pats her head.

"Don't I know your trouble so well, now let's get something to eat," Gajeel lead them to a secluded area and sat on the opposite as Lucy with Juvia in tow.

"Now are you joining the company or continuing as a free person you are now," Gajeel gets straight to the point while the girls drink their water.

"Actually I decided to join the company," Lucy watches as Gajeel nods off until he spit take his drink.

"Cough...wait are you seriously?" Gajeel asked as Juvia pats his back from the coughing fit.

"Yes, I kinda want to start a life here and after thinking about everything I decided to put all into the company," Lucy smiles as Gajeel grins while Juvia claps her hands in joy.

"But..."

"I knew things were too good to be true..." Gajeel mutters ass Juvia elbows him in the side.

"I want to arrange my time with the kids at FTA and have time to myself," Gajeel considers it for a bit, and reluctantly agrees to her demands.

"Oh Lucy, Juvia will get to see you at work and visit you now that you decided to stay in this town. Juvia will introduce you to her friends and her only love," Lucy laughs at her friends usual antics and felt Gajeel's hand over her head.

"Don't even think about it," Lucy glares at him as he pulled back, but kept his grin on his face.

"I can't wait to rub it those losers face tomorrow, now my life is complete," Gajeel leans back and props himself with his arms behind him.

"Are you sure about that you're not even married yet?"

"You're still trying to get with Levy although Juvia doesn't know when you two will make up?"

"Wait Levy as in Levy McGarden? Seriously, you have some explaining to do!"

"Why are we even friends again? I keeping getting yelled at by you two just shut your traps already!"

"Someone seems to be in a bad mood," Lucy watches as Juvia signals her.

"Actually it's because he-"

"Hey Juvia don't tell her when she hasn't heard my part of the story!"

"Well then I'm waiting.." Lucy crosses her arms as Gajeel swears at what he got himself into.

It's going to be a long night he sighs as he retells the story of what happened between Levy and himself.

**At the Opposite of the Cafe**

A lone pink haired man sit by the bar while sipping on his beer that he ordered. Not only did he caused a scene, chased his date away, and earn Mira's rage, he did an unforgivable thing and that was taking someone's first kiss away.

Tch...what am I even feeling guilty about she had to be lying about that! There's no way a woman like her has not kissed anyone her entire life. I mean she was probably a year younger than me...but the look in her eyes were telling the truth Natsu sighs before chugging his drink once more.

"I kinda feel responsible for that...if Lis was in her shoes then I feel ten times worse than this. Shit today is seriously not my day , though I deserve that kick she gave me," Natsu tucks himself in his arms and looks back at a young couple laughing happily together. He pictures his younger self and Lisanna both enjoying their time with his hand always touching her belly lovingly.

"Natsu..." A soft voice interrupts his thoughts and he looks up to see Mira looking at him with a concern look.

"Yo Mira, what's with that look for? I'm alright...just reminiscing about the past a bit," Natsu let's out a shaky breath and looks back into the blue eyes he had once loved.

"You can't keep doing this to yourself...what about Lina! She needs a mother in her life and you need someone beside you to let Lisanna go. It's time to let go," Natsu stiffens under her words, but know the truth in them.

"I know but...I just can't seem to let go. It's like I'm hanging on a single red thread of fate, waiting for something to pull me and reassure that they will always stay strong for me," Mira places her hand on his as he explains himself.

"Jeez...I'm sound pretty pathetic...I mean I hurt a girl I could have a chance at finding love...I stole someone's first kiss who somehow managed to hold onto it...Maybe I give next week a try or something. Okay Mira," Mira faintly smiles before frowning a little on the piece of thread hanging on his front shirt's button.

"Hey Natsu you have a piece thread on you. Did happen when you pulled that girl towards you?" Natsu pulls down to see a red thread hanging and gently pried it off.

"I guess so...I better get going I have meeting tomorrow with the devil. Night Mira, Elfman," Natsu paid for his bill and bid a goodnight towards Mira and Elfman.

**At Erza's home**

"Aunt Erza, I think I forgot my textbook for math. Do you think you can drop me off to get it in the morning? I can walk with Naomi if it makes you feel any better," Lina tilts her head in question as Erza tries to find a way for this to work. She wants to keep an eye on her, but she has to head to the Company in the morning due to their arrival.

Feeling a hand on her shoulder, she turns to see Jellal offer a gentle smile.

"If it helps ease your worries, then I'll drop her off and head to work. Tomorrow's a big day and I'll make sure not lose her," Erza leans into his warmth after the debate in her head and agrees to the suggestion.

"Alright but don't be late both of you," Erza raises an eye as the two whistle as if they didn't hear the last part. Lina smiles at her Uncle and Aunt's display of love, then wonders if that could happen for her father.

"Also I have a surprise, but it's only between the three of us," Lina and Jellal shared a look of wonder before returning their attention to Erza.

"Jellal..um...what I wanted to say is...would you...consider having a child of our own!" Erza face flushed as the two blinked at what they just heard. Lina tried to understand the meaning of those words, but thought she was trying to propose right.

"Erza...are you trying to say we should start a family or asking me to marry you? Wait I'm supposed to be the one to propose here," Jellal ponders a bit before sulking that his girlfriend proposed to him.

"Well I...um...want both," Erza fiddles with her fingers as her cheeks were a deep red.

"Silly...I'm supposed to be the one to ask like this," Jellal gets down on one knee and pulls out a ring from his back pocket.

"Erza Scarlet, would you do me the honors of becoming my wife forever? I promise to cherish and love you even as time goes on and our family becomes bigger. So what do you say?" Lina and Erza both gasp at the wedding ring that sparkled in the light.

"I...Yes of course I will marry you!" Erza launches herself onto Jellal as Lina claps in joy of the news. The two share a kiss only to stop at the sound of a flash going off.

"Sorry I didn't mean to ruin the moment but it was just so cute. Aunt Erza can I be your flower girl?" Lina flushed a bit in embarrassment before realizing that she wanted to be a part of this wedding.

"Ha I couldn't think of anyone more suited for the job. How about we all talk about this over dinner?" Erza smiles warmly as the two agreed and went to try out Jellal's cooking.
