"I'm home!" Natsu shouted.
"Tthank y…you for having mme over!" Lucy stuttered a little embarrassed.
"Welcome home Natsu and you're always welcome here Lucy"
A tint of pink covered Lucy's cheeks at the woman's reply, she was feeling a little bashful. She was about to speak until she was tackled into a hug by a petite bluenette.
"Lucy-san!" the girl giggled as Lucy hugged back "Are you staying for dinner?" she asked with big hopeful eyes, earning a giggle from Lucy.
"Hello Wendy and I-"
"Yes she is!" Natsu said cutting Lucy off, mid-sentence.
"Of course she is!" a man's voice boomed as he appeared by the door.
"Looks like I am…" Lucy said giggling a little with Wendy.
"Speaking of dinner I'm going to make it now," The woman said walking down the hall and towards, what we can presume, the kitchen.
"I'll come with you and make yourself home Lucy!" the man shouted.
"Okay, thank you Grandeeny and Igneel" Lucy said with a big smile.
"So how did it go this time Lucy-san, Natsu-san?" Wendy whispered to them. Meet Wendy Marvell, Natsu's half sister. Their parents married only 3 years ago, so she has her mother's maiden name, as they didn't change it to Dragoneel. She's 12 years old and in the elite class of Fairy Academy. She specialises in physics, biology and health studies. She is the youngest student in the elite class. If you're injured or unwell, Wendy is the person to go to. She is, also, one of three people that know about Natsu and Lucy's secret and helps cover for Natsu when need be.
"It was easy!"
"Natsu… we almost got caught because YOU sneezed" Lucy said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"But he didn't catch us or see us because of my cool plan of wearing ninja clothes!" he defended.
"In which, I'm actuallyglad I listened to" she said with emphasis on 'actually'.
"Exactly!" Natsu said, his pride showing causing Wendy and Lucy to sweat drop because he got complimented AND insulted at the same time.
"… As long as the mission is complete, it's fine," Wendy said "And that nobody recognised you both." She added.
"Yeah!" Natsu and Lucy said together and high fived each other. I
f you're wondering why people aren't questioning the two in all-black ninja costumes, the reason is simple. They took them off whilst they were walking to Natsu's house and stuffed them in Lucy's bag so no one would be suspicious. They, of course, had clothes underneath.
The three were laughing as they walked towards the living room. You could hear noise coming from the television from there.
"Looks like bunny girl is here again" a teen boy with many piercings said.
"I'm not bunny girl!" Lucy snapped, "I have a name and it's Lucy, L.U.C.Y. so use it!" the said girl snapped.
"Yeah, whatever." He replied in a casual manner.
"Gajeel-san, it's not nice to call Lucy-san names." Wendy scolded.
"Yeah, metal head!" Natsu added causing Wendy to sweat drop.
"Shut up Salamander!" meet Gajeel Redfox. He's Natsu and Wendy's cousin. His mother passed away when he was young, leaving him and his father. Two years ago his father started travelling around the world, leaving him with the Dragoneels. He's 17 years old and in the A-class in Fairy Academy. He's ranked 20th in the school. He's the second person that knows about the secret because he ears dropped on one of Lucy and Natsu's conversations. He sometimes helps with information gathering on the clients.
"You two better not start a fight or mum will come!" Wendy said, noticing what the name-calling was going to start.
"You know what happened the last time you fought in front of Grandeey!" Lucy added. The mention of Grandeeny immediately stopped the two, causing them to shiver at the memory of her shouting and threatening them. The two then settled down and played with their cats Happy and Lily, while Wendy and Lucy played with Carla.
The three of them each have a cat. Natsu's cat was called Happy and he was blue. Whilst Natsu was planning a prank against his best friend Gray, he accidently dyed his fur blue and he just stayed that way for some reason. Gajeel's cat was called Lily. He's black and has a small scar on above his left eye. The scar was caused when Lily was fighting with another cat. Wendy's cat was named Carla and she was white. The four of them, also, watched TV until they were called for dinner.
"This is very delicious Grandeeny!" Lucy said, "I can never get tired of your cooking." She added.
"Oh, Thank you Lucy, you are always welcome here!" Grandeeny said with a smile, "In fact, I wouldn't mind you living here, I have a room for you prepared whenever you want!" she said causing every one to sweat drop.
"Um… thank you but I-I can't always bother you" Lucy said, declining her offer politely.
"Nonsense! Having you here would be a pleasure, no bother at all!" Grandeeny said, trying to sweet talk Lucy into living with them. "Natsu will listen to you, so it would actually make things easier instead." She added, causing Lucy to laugh awkwardly.
"Yep, you got him whipped!" Gajeel added laughing with Igneel and causing Natsu to glare at him.
"Haha, so young and he's already got a girl controlling him." Igneel laughed causing Natsu to direct the glare towards him and Grandeeny to join in glaring at her husband. Cough "Anyway, honey, I don't think you should pressure Lucy in to staying if she doe-" Igneel was cut off by Grandeeny's glare. "But I would be happy to include you in the family, Lucy" he quickly added and sighed as Grandeeny gave an approving nod.
"You make it sound like she's marrying into the family." Gajeel said making lucy's face turn crimson at the thought but she quickly pushed the thought back.
"Um… well… I really couldn't." Lucy said meekly, trying to ignore Gajeel's comment.
"I wouldn't mind either, it would be fun having Lucy-san here!" Wendy added. "It'd be like getting a sister." Grandeeny seemed to be thinking over what everyone was saying until a smile appeared on her face. For some reason, Lucy didn't like it!
"It'd be annoying, if she stays here, we should put her in a cage like a bunny!" Gajeel joked.
"That's not ver-" Wendy started but was cut off by her mother's outburst.
"Gajeel, that's a good idea!" Grandeeny shouted.
"WHAT!" everyone said.
"HUH? What? Putting her in a cage?" Gajeel asked dumbly.
"What are you talking about?" she asked giving him a strange look. "I meant about Lucy marrying into the family!" she added, like it was obvious.
"HUH?" Everyone said. The thoughts 'is she crazy?' was going through everyone's minds. However, they were all scared of the lady to voice their thoughts.
"She can marry Natsu!" she added.
"WHAT!?" Natsu and Lucy both shouted, with Natsu spitting his food out and Lucy almost choking on hers. They both turned a bright shade of red.
"Umm, dear, I don't think that's a good idea." Igneel added cautiously with Natsu and Lucy nodding their heads ferociously in agreement. Gajeel was frozen solid and Wendy was daydreaming about Lucy being her sister.
"Why not?" Grandeeny said in a whiney voice. "They'd look cute together!" she pouted.
"Well..." Igneel started, trying to think why.
"It's not like they don't like each other!" Natsu and Lucy were going redder by the second.
"We're too young!" Lucy blurted out. Everyone stared at Lucy. She looked at Natsu with pleading eyes, telling him to continue.
"Plus… we're not even dating!" then all eyes turned to him. "Er… We can't marry without even having dated before!" while he said this, Lucy's face was going brighter and started travelling to her ears. She thought she'd burst, if she were to go redder than she was now.
"They're right you know!" Igneel added.
Sigh "I suppose…" they sighed in relief, glad they got the crazy idea out of her head. "So… when are two going to date?" she asked looking at Lucy and then Natsu. Their faces that just started cooling down, heated up again.
"MUM!" "GRANDEENY!" the two blushing teens shouted.
The rest of the dinner was spent with Grandeeny teasing the two and trying to get them together. Whilst Wendy and Gajeel had snapped out of their states and joined in the teasing. Whereas Igneel just there giving apologetic looks to the two that were pleading with their eyes to him, to get his wife to stop.
Walk to Lucy's House
They walked in a peaceful silence, both glad they were away from the teasing.
"Sorry about my mum." Natsu said, breaking the silence.
"It's fine, I'm used to it now!" they both laughed a little. "Though it escalated a little today."
"That goes to show how much she wants you to be a part of the family." He said with a light laugh. He didn't know but Lucy face was slightly flushed at the thought.
"… Yeah." Lucy replied not knowing what to say. "Um… Oh yeah! We received another request!"
"Hmm…" Natsu said thinking. "Then we better research the client tomorrow!" he said grinning at Lucy. She nodded her head in reply. They soon arrived at Lucy small house, much to their displeasure. Lucy walked up to her door and turned around to face Natsu.
"Thank you," she said with a dazzling smile that made natsu blush a little. "You didn't have to walk me home, it's only 5 minutes away."
"I wanted to!" he blurted out causing the two to turn pink. "Er… plus my mum would kill me if I didn't." He added, making Lucy frown a little but smiled again when she saw the pink on his cheeks. She giggled a bit. "Well, see you tomorrow." She said with a wave.
"Yeah, See ya!"
The Next Morning, in school, before the bell
"So the client, this time, is Ichiya Vandalay?" Natsu asked. They were currently in Lucy's workroom and on her computer and phone, looking at the new requests.
"Yep!" Lucy replied. "He wants… er… some of Erza's… er… "
"Erza's what?"
"Hair." Natsu froze thinking he had to try and get some of Erza's hair.
"We also have two other clients requesting for Mirajane's hair as well…"
"Mira's?" Lucy nodded in reply. He gave Lucy a look.
"It's kinda creepy, I know!"
"It is! But it's the new craze." A petite girl suddenly said, joining in their conversation.
"Levy-chan don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry, but you called me to meet you for information right?" Meet Levy McGarden, a petite, 17 year old bluenette. She's ranked 4th in Fairy Academy and in the A-class. Best friend of Lucy Heartifilia. She's a part of the newspaper club and found out about the secret when she was trying to find the mysterious 'Thief for hire' and found out their secret. Instead of exposing them, she kept it secret and helps, along side Gajeel, to find out information.
"Yeah I did." Lucy said.
"So what do you mean by 'it's the new craze'?" Natsu asked.
"It's a new love charm that's been going around the school." She said in a matter-of-factly tone. "You have to take a few strands of the person you like's hair and put it in a small pouch." She stopped to let them process the information. They nodded to tell her to carry on. "Then you have to keep the pouch on your person for 2 weeks and the person you like will return your feelings." She said, "Or so the rumour says."
"Hmm… its still kinda weird." Lucy said, with the two agreeing, silently. "So what do you think Natsu? Think you going to accept it or not?" she asked.
"Um… I really don't want to approach Erza, she's a monster!" he replied dramatically.
"Well either way we need the clients information first. So we'll leave that to Levy and Gajeel, while I'll look at his records."
"Right! I'll investigate school rumours and Gajeel will probably follow the client, like usual" Levy said, "and Lu-chan, isn't that illegal!?"
"Not if they don't know… Lucy's smart!" Natsu said grinning at Lucy.
"As long as I hide any trace of me being in the records, it's fine." Lucy said, ignoring Natsu's comment.
The school bell then rang, telling the three they had to get to their first class.
"Target, Ichiya Vandalay…" Natsu said, confirming the client name. "Mission start!"
How was it? I thought I'd try the crazy mum that try's to set their kids up!
