I really like everyone that reads this! Thanks for reading! Someone asked me to explained what a Apostle and Creed means. Well, a creed is a faith. Apostle is a religious (To a certain religion. But in this story, a religion called Fairy Tail) disciple or leader to a religion. Let's begin now.

Chapter 2: The HotSprings

"How long til' we reach the next town?" Lucy asked the thief. Her hood cloak was all dirty and some of it was tearing off. She flinched at a thought of a certain Apostle. A certain apostle would...Lucy couldn't even say it... She was just scary. If you had a spot of dirt, off to the basement for extra studies and extra yard work. And that was if you were LUCKY!

"About 2 days." Natsu calmly replied. He was marching north, they could make it in a day if the flew with Happy, but Happy couldn't carry two people at the same time. Besides, he needed Lucy to get into the kingdom. "Natsu!" Happy called from the sky. He was watching from the sky for any bandits or towns in view.

"What!" Natsu answered.

"Can we take a break?" Happy asked.

"No, no, NO! The task is very important. We have to go on without any pauses." Lucy explained while shaking her head.

"But Lucy! I see an abandoned hot spring!" Happy informed Lucy. Lucy stopped walking. Water...I can wash the cloak AND relax at the same time.

"HAPPY! LEAD THE WAY" Lucy hollered. "I thought your task was important?" Natsu told Lucy, a bit surprised from the apostles outburst.

"It can wait!"

~._.~

The trio made a small camp. It was getting late and the group had barely made any progress. "I'm going to relax in the hot springs..." She paused. Wondering if she should tell them 'no peeking', but they hardly seemed like perverts. She shrugged it off and marched off towards the hot springs.

Lucy was out of view. "Happy?" Natsu asked while looking at Happy. "I got the binoculars!" Happy exclaimed. 'it's not like she said 'no peeking', so it must be alright!" Natsu thought while grinning slyly to himself. "If Lucy catches us, we will use Plan B" Natsu told Happy. "Aye Sir!" Happy exclaimed.

"Feels so good!" Lucy told to no one in particular. The moon was reflecting off the waters and the mist was fogging the clearing. It was so relaxing. She felt as if she had no troubles in the world. Then she remembered she did have something to do in this world. She groaned.

As Lucy got up to go get changed, she noticed her clothes weren't in the spot where she had left them.

"looking for THIS?" A voice called out. Lucy could barely see the figure because of the mist, but the pink hair was too obvious. "NATSU! Come back with my clothes. Joke's over!" Lucy ordered. Natsu snickered. "Then come out and get it!" Natsu teased.

He really was a ruffian! "NATSU!" Lucy yelled. "You can't stay in too long! Or else you will faint and might drown. Then I will preform CPR on you. But I might get carried away" Natsu explained slyly with a smirk on his face.

Lucy growled and began to think. What do I do? Lucy concentrated hard. She remembered one of the apostles saying if Lucy focused hard enough, she could summon a gate from the spirit world. Everyone that's an apostle has been gifted their own very special powers. Lucy was summoning, though she never tried it.

"I summon thee, gate of the water bearer! AQUARIOUS!" Lucy yelled. She didn't even know where the words came from, it just flowed within her. Lucy started feeling something rise up from the waters. Sploosh! A mermaid-like creature popped out of nowhere!

"KYA!" Lucy screamed.

"Who are you" the blue mermaid demanded.

"L-Lucy" the blonde managed to stutter out.

"What did you call me out for?! I was in the middle of a date with my boyfriend!" The mermaid exclaimed.

"I..Uh...That guy took my clothes and I don't want to come out naked to get them" Lucy pitifully explained.

"You spoiled little BRAT! You don't call the zodiacs out here for something as pitiful as that! I'm gonna do this once! If you ever try this crap again...Your going to regret it" Aquarius yelled. Lucy barely nodded.

"Is he the pink-haired idiot?" Aquarius asked irritatedly. Lucy nodded a bit too fast. "Oi Lucy! Is it time for me to come in and 'save' you?" Natsu asked. Lucy could tell he was smirking.

"WATER PILLIAR!" Aquarius screamed as she directed her urn to the pink-haired brat.

"WAAHHH" Natsu screamed as he got swept up by the water and dealing with some damages.

The water swept her close back to Lucy and Lucy used this chance to get changed, even in the lake, despite the outfit being wet. So much for relaxing.

"If you ever call me out again for a stupid reason like this, I swear I will drown YOU!" Aquarius threatened before disappearing. Lucy managed to trudge her way out of the lake and found a washed up imbecile on the land. It seems he wasn't prepared for the water attack, nor the heat from the water. Natsu was on the ground, his legs and arms sprawled out like road-kill and his eyes were circling. He must've fainted. Lucy groaned. She could leave him right there and then, BUT! He knew which way to go.

She made a mental note to herself to buy a map of Fiore so she didn't have to keep traveling with Natsu anymore. Until then, she was stuck with this perverted, idiotic, imbecile. Lucy began taking a hold of his arms and dragging him to the nearby camp.

~0.o~

"Natsu, did you have your way with her?" A neko asked after seeing the bushes rustle. Instead of Natsu coming out of the bush, it was Lucy. Dragging a knocked out Natsu to view.

"What did you say!" Lucy asked in soft tone but her eyes showed murder.

The blue cat gulped. Happy finally noticed Natsu. "YOU KILLED HIM!" The cat yelled in fear. He quickly ran over to Natsu's side and began reciting a funeral.

"Since you died Natsu, I will take the money you left behind and buy some fish for-" Happy began but got interrupted. "Oi, Oi Happy! I'm ALIVE! Blonde here bullied me" Natsu explained with his left eye peeking out.

"What did you think you were DOING!?" Lucy exclaimed at him while letting go of his shirt.

"You didn't say I couldn't peek." Natsu protested. "THAT'S BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY IMPLIED!" Lucy countered back furiously. Natsu shrank back. He had no logical comebacks.

"I'm going to make dinner! Don't you DARE bother me!" Lucy threatened. Natsu and Happy gulped while nodding.

Lucy sighed and began to cook. When she was in the middle of cooking (Stirring a pot) Natsu came up from behind and grabbed her by the waists. "What are you doing?" Lucy growled. "Shouldn't we get more Friendly with each other?" The cocky thief answered while grinning his toothy smile.

"Get off playboy" She ordered Natsu.

"That's so mean Luce! If you want me to be yours, you only have to ask!" Natsu told Lucy. Lucy could feel her cheeks burning up. She tried to struggle her way out, but Natsu's grasps stayed firm. Lucy squeaked when Natsu began letting his hands feel her. She had to get out! Or else she would get raped! Before Natsu could feel her again, Lucy immediately took the pot she was stirring and flipped it behind her, which landed on Natsu's head.

Natsu let go of his grasps on Lucy to take the pot out of his head. She made her move to get a good 10 feet away from him. Natsu calmly took the pot out of his head. His whole head was covered with smudges of stew. It kind of awe'd her that Natsu wasn't freaking out right now. She was cooking at the highest temperature possible, but Natsu didn't seem to have any burns on him.

"It's DELICIOUS!" Natsu yelled in delight. Lucy gave a brief "Eh?" and Natsu began to lick his fingers which contained smudges of stew. Lucy stalked away angry and began to set up her tent. She made sure to zip it up and lock it with 3 locks in case that pervert came.

~^.^~

"Natsu, did you get her?" Happy asked. Natsu shook his head glumly. His plan was failing. He knew that once they reached the kingdom, they would say goodbye. But if he managed to make the blonde fall in love with him, he could go INTO the kingdom with her and grab the money.

"She is too weird." Natsu calmly added. Natsu yawned as he and Happy said 'night'. It was just too cold in his tent. So he stumbled towards Lucy's tent. He tried to go in but found it locked. 'That was stupid' Natsu thought. He began unlocking the locks. He was a thief after all, so he was used to locks.

He got into Lucy's tent and laid beside her. "Warm" Natsu purred before dozing off.

GOMEN! (Sorry) I am LATE! I had to go to a party. Please forgive me! I will get the other stories updated as soon as I can!
