So this one may seem completely separate to the last one but trust me, it's not. I'm kinds disappointed in how this turned out actually… Anyway sorry that i'm not updating my other stories. I did proofread Knights on a Winged Horse and post a new chapter for that. I'm getting off track. Enjoy the LaLu!

LaLu week day 2

-wedding-

Macarov growled slightly at the paper in front of him. It was sloppily written, as if the writer was in a rush, but the desperation in the words was obvious. One of his jobs as master is to sort through requests as they come in and separate normal request from those that required a greater level of skill. The paper in front of him could probably be classified as S-Class. He also couldn't just put it on the board because it required an immediate response. He sighed as he pondered his dilemma. Immediate response meant that he had to assign it to someone. Gildarts had run off again, Erza had already left on a mission and Mystogan had stayed in Edolas. That meant that Laxus had to take it but the situation required greater delicacy than what his grandson could provide. 'Hmmm. I would have to send Laxus but for this to work I would need to send someone calm and logical with him. Who was logical in this crazy guild? Levy, but she is out on a mission with Shadow Gear. Freed is but he and Mira have gone on a mission together. Everyone else was too rash except…bingo! If she were to be paired with laxus, he could be kept under control, plus there wasn't any tension between the two so they could work together easily. Yes, that is probably the best combination.' Master walked out of his office and looked down at the commotion below. As usual there was a fight going on.

"Gray!" he shouted getting the ice-mage's attention. "Where's Lucy?"

"Uhh, she's out the back making a contract with the spirit she got on her last mission."

Master nodded his thanks to Gray before heading out behind the guild. He walked out just as she sent the spirit back in a glimmer of gold. She turned back towards the guild and saw the small man behind her.

"Ah, Master! What can I do for you?"

"Lucy, would you mind coming and stepping into my office for a while?"

"Of course, but is there something wrong?"
"Yes, actually, I received a rather distressing request that I would like you help with."

Lucy nodded before following the master back into the guild and up to his office. As they passed the table where Laxus was drinking his beer, master enlarged his hand and grabbed him by the collar and dragged him up too.

"Jeez Ji-Ji! If you wanted me to do something ask before you grab!" Lucy giggled at the interaction as she followed the master.

Once they were inside and seated master looked each blond in the eye before speaking.

"This morning I received a desperate plea for help from a young girl. It requires an immediate response and I am assigning to the two of you to work together on it. Miss Karen Oriya has been tricked into signing a blood contract with a perverted dark mage. She is now being forced to marry him though her heart belongs to another. In order to rescue her you will need to defeat all the dark mages and destroy the contract. This is an S-Class mission and Laxus you are the only S-Class mage available. Lucy, I need to go to help put thought and delicacy into the execution of this mission. I have already contacted Miss Oriya to accept the mission. Laxus you will go as her brother, Lucy you will pose as his fiancé." Both Lucy and Laxus were silent throughout the entire time that the master was talking, thinking over all the information they received.

"I know it's abrupt, but I want you to leave immediately. Lucy, I'll deal with your team. You need clothes that are respectable enough for a wedding but that you can still fight in".

~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~.~

"Ahh, Karen! I haven't seen you in ages!", Lucy exclaimed as she grabbed the poor girl's hand. Karen looked quizzically at the blond before looking at their joined hands, about to pull away. At the sight of the pink mark on the girl's hand though, she stopped before pulling the unsuspecting blond into a hug. Lucy could feel the relief in the girl's embrace and figured the girl knew at least why she was here even if she had no idea who she was. Lucy pulled back and held Karen at arms length.

"Oh sweetie," Lucy said cheerily, "that wedding dress looks like it came out of a fairytale". Using her guild's name in a way that would not arouse suspicion from the people nearby.

"Doesn't it?" Karen replied with a wink, catching onto what Lucy was doing. "I'm so glad you could make it! I was beginning to worry."

"Of course we would come. Your brother Laxus here wouldn't miss it for the world" Lucy said indicating the man behind her.

"You look beautiful, sis. This guy better make you happy or I'll be bringing hell to earth."

"Thanks Laxus-nii."

"But," he said quickly, " not as beautiful as my fiancé, Lucy." This earned him a playful smack on the arm.

"So where's the groom?" Lucy asked turning back to Karen.

"Um…" She looked around a bit before spotting the sick bastard. "He's coming this way, actually."

"Well, then. Laxus, can you pass me my gloves?" He did and she hurriedly put them on.

"Karen, darling" he said while reaching out and gripping her arm a bit too hard. " Who are you talking to?" Karen winced but replied quickly, fear evident in her voice.

"This is my brother Laxus and his fiancé Lucy."

"I see. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise," replied Laxus as he moved closer to Lucy. This man made him feel weird, like something was off. He looked the man up and down. He had malicious eyes, oily black hair and was wearing a slightly rumpled tux. In his pocket was a bundle of rolled up papers. The contract.

"Well, we should be finding out seats, come on Laxus." Lucy said as she pulled slightly to get Laxus moving. "See you at the alter!" Lucy pulled Laxus towards the corner of the chapel where they couldn't be overheard.

"The contract is in the right hand pocket of his trousers, slightly hidden by the jacket of his tux."

"Right, well what we need to do is delay the wedding, identify and defeat all the dark mages and destroy the contract. You'll have to do the last one because lightning is the only way to destroy a blood contract without it being able to regenerate." Laxus nodded.

"Its most likely that the majority of guests are the groom's men. If we can cause a disturbance, most of the dark mages will try to stop it. We still have to retrieve the contract though," he said leaning against a pillar, surveying all the people in the chapel.

"Leave that to me." Lucy said smugly.

"What are you gonna do Blondie?"

"You know the mission the other day where you had to step in near the end? Well, I got a silver key a silver key that would be just perfect for the job in the reward. Oh, and don't worry about the distraction. It just so happens that I have a rather annoying spirit that can handle it. You know him actually." Laxus looked at her curiously before stepping in front of her and blocking her from the view of the other guests. Lucy thanked him before pulling out two keys.

"Open, gate of the Pickpocket, Jack! Gate of the Lion, Leo!" she chanted quietly. Immediately afterwards she was surrounded by flowers and sparkles.

"What is it that my princess wishes? This is a lovely chapel. Has my beautiful mistress finally decided that i'm the one she want's to marry?"

"No Loke. I'm here with Laxus."

"What? Since when have you two been in a relationship? I-" Lucy broke Loke off.

"No Loke, master assigned us on a mission. I need you to be disruptive and delay the wedding as much as you can." She turned to the other spirit who had remained quiet throughout the spectacle.

"Hey Jack" she said to the small boy. "Ready to help me on your first mission?"

"Sure thing Hime! What do I get to steal?"

"See the groom standing at the podium talking to the man in the blue tie? There is a contract in his pocket. Bring it to Laxus here without being noticed."

"Easy peasy." he replied with a mock salute before disappearing into the shadows.

"Princess, what should I do?" Loke asks Lucy, taking and kissing her hand.

"I thought I told you. Now shoo and delay the wedding." Lucy gave him a smack on the back of the head before he scurried off. Not long after there was a bit of shouting as Loke started a fight. They didn't have to wait long before Jack came back flashing a crooked grin. He gave Laxus the contract and Lucy thanked him before she sent him back to the spirit world.

"Stand back." Laxus told Lucy as he placed the contract on the floor. He sent a powerful volt of electricity down to it, turning it to ashes. Then Loke came back over, panting slightly.

"Whatever group you're fighting Lucy, they're determined. Oh, and they are all wearing either a blue tie or a blue hair piece."

"Thanks Loke. Mind staying to help defeat them?"

"Of course princess," he replied before jumping back into the brawl he started.

~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~.~

The three of them had defeated most of the groom's dark mages and now Lucy and Laxus were facing the sick bastard while Loke finished off the rest of the small fry.

"Give up. The contract is destroyed." Lucy said as she glared at her opposition.

"Surely you don't think it would be that simple?" the greasy man sneered back. In a flash he was behind Lucy, twisting her arms behind her and trapping her legs with a nearby table cloth. Lucy struggled and Laxus started to head towards her but both blonds stopped when cool metal pressed against Lucy's throat.

"One wrong move and this cutie dies." Laxus growled but stayed put. Lucy felt helpless and she hated it. She was constantly the damsel in distress. She whimpered slightly as the knife was pressed harder against her porcelain skin.

"I think you forgot something." Laxus said with a smirk. Suddenly the man's hands were yanked away from Lucy by Loke. She fell down from the lack of support but was caught by Laxus. Once she was steady again Laxus turned his attention to the disgusting bastard that dared to lay a hand on Lucy. He managed to warn Lucy and Loke to move away before his anger took over and he sent consecutive lightning bolts at his enemy. Soon enough the man was unconscious on the floor, residual static making him twitch slightly.

"Let's go Blondie." Laxus called to her after he had calmed down a bit. She nodded and followed him as he excited the chapel, dodging various bodies as they went along.

~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~. ~.~

"Hey Laxus," Lucy asked once they had received their reward. He looked at her before motioning her to continue. "Does this make us wedding crashers?"
