Jude, Natsu, and Lucy got off the train and started walking to the mansion. "It will take 20 minutes to reach the mansion." Jude told Natsu and Lucy. They stopped several times to rest, seeing that they had to go through some mountains. When Lucy saw the mansion, her eyes lit up in delight. It was just like she remembered it.
Natsu said "Nice place Luce." Lucy grinned in response. "Luce? Natsu calls Lucy Luce?" Jude thought, deep in thought.
Inside the mansion, it was completely dusty and it looked abandoned. "Have you been living here all alone father?" Lucy said in awe. "No. I was residing in a hotel."

Jude said about to leave, but Natsu asked him " Why don't we cleaned this place quick so Lucy doesn't have to work so much?" Natsu suggested getting up and heading to the cleaning supplies. "Sure. Let's get moving." Jude said following Natsu.
