I don't Own Fairy Tail or its characters. Enjoy~

It's been three days since Rogue took Lucy to his place. Yukino was currently giving Lucy a bath in his apartment while he was with Sting. They were walking back to Rogue's apartment even though Rogue politely rejected him. Sting shook his head and gave a toothy grin. "I want to see what you've been up to." He said which made Rogue roll his eyes.

When they arrived they spotted Yukino on the bed with Lucy drying her hair with a blue towel. In all honesty, Yukino felt like a mother taking care of a baby. She giggled at the thought. When Sting's eyes landed on her figure and he heard her sweet giggle he turned to Rogue with a light blush upon his cheeks. Rogue noticed and smirked at his blonde companion. Said man grunted at his friend knowing what that smirk meant. "She's helping?" Sting couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy as he imaged Yukino coming over to Rogue's place repeatedly. Now it was Rogue's turn to tease him. "Jealous?" Sting shoved Rogue out of the way and walked into his room where Lucy and Yukino were in. Rogue chuckled at his friend, he was like an open book.

Rogue followed Sting to his room and to catch him staring at Yukino and Lucy. Sting hadn't been moving for a while and Rogue nudged him in the stomach. He whispered in Sting's ear, "Are you sure that you should be fantasizing about her right now?" With that Sting snapped back to his senses and growled at Rogue. "Shut up." It took so much to keep his laughter in. Rogue just patted his shoulder and moved towards the bed.

He nodded at Yukino and was grateful for her assisstance. "Thank you for your help Yukino." Sting interrupted him. "Even though he wanted to give Lucy a bath himself." Rogue rolled his eyes at the stupid comment and pushed Sting out of the way. Yukino smiled at the two. They could be so ridiculous at times.

With Fairy Tail~

Natsu entered the guild with Happy flying in right behind him. He was greeted by many of those in the guild and he walked up to the bar expecting to find Lucy sitting their drinking juice, but her seat was empty, leaving Natsu confused. He decided to ask Mirajane if she knew where Lucy was. "Hey Mirajane, do you know where Lucy is?" Natsu scratched his head as he looked around, trying to spot a blonde head but fails. Mirajane looked down slightly and replied," She went out on a solo mission this morning." Mira wiped the bar table.

Natsu stared at her with his mouth open. "But I was going to talk to her today! Why now of all times Luce?" He mumbled under his breath. Mira smiled at the way he acted. "Thanks anyway" He dragged his feet back to Team Natsu's table where Lisanna held his hand. "She went on a solo mission." Natsu told them as he propped his head up with his hand. "Just tell her when she comes back." Erza sighed.

Some days later~

Gray,Erza, Natsu, Wendy, and Lisanna sat at a table. Gray had something on his mind that bothered him a bit. "Shouldn't Lucy be back by now? She always picks the kind of missions that are pretty quick, especially if its a solo mission." He asked no one in particular. Erza picked up on what he was saying and also found it strange. "You're right..." "Did something happen to her?" Wendy asked. She couldn't help but grow worried for Lucy. They were like sisters after all. Natsu spoke up." Now that you mention it, her scent is pretty faint. This is suspicious" Natsu's brows furrowed as he tried to think. "Maybe we should go look for her?" Lisanna suggested, still feeling guilty about her absence.

"I think we should." Erza agreed. "Did Mira tell you what job she went on?" Erza asked Natsu. The pink haired (Natsu: IT'S SALMON!) salmon-haired dragon slayer shook his head. "Lets ask then, Mirajane!" Gray yelled from the table. Mirajane came in a few minutes. "What it is?"

"Do you know what job Lucy went on? We want to go look for her." Erza answered. Mira smiled. She was worried about Lucy too, her instincts tell her that something bad happened and she wanted to help Lucy but it was reassuring knowing that the strongest team in Fairy Tail was going to go after her. "She went on this one." Mira placed down the sheet of paper that Lucy had grabbed off the board this morning. She was to busy rushing out of the guild to remember to grab the paper."You should take this with you." Mira left them with the paper and resumed cleaning cups behind the bar.

"The forest?" Gray raised an eyebrow as he read the description. "Alright, pack up when you get home. We're leaving first thing in the morning tomorrow." Erza stood up and walked to the bar asking Mira for a strawberry shortcake. Natsu frowned at her words. "But we should go now! Why tomorrow?" Natsu yelled angrily. Lisanna placed a hand on his shoulder. "Calm down Natsu, we can't rush in without being prepared. You saw that it said a mage with the bandits right? If the price was so high then maybe this group is more dangerous than you think." Lisanna bit her lip at the thought, if it was true then maybe Lucy was hurt after all.

"Lisanna is right flame brain, Lucy is strong and if she was hurt then this guy could be something bad." Gray thought it over. He admits that Lucy was strong, she could kick his ass if she used her strongest power but it hasn't fully been completed yet. And sometimes magic power isn't all there is to it, Lucy could pack a serious punch.

Natsu sat down while muttering under his breath. Happy watched his partner with questioning eyes. "Natsu..?"

With Rogue~

Rogue watched as Sting and Yukino left his apartment together. He was exhausted. His day was full of Sting's teasing and he was glad that it was finally over.

He decided for a quick shower then for sleep. Grabbing an extra pair of clothes and a towel, Rogue headed towards the bathroom.( -Erm let's skip the details~ Sorry Rogue fans, not describing his fantastic body today~)

Not being to prissy about hygiene he turned off the water after he washed himself and hopped out of the shower.

Rogue came out of the bathroom with shorts and a black T shirt on. He glanced at Lucy's sleeping form as he left his room for the living room. With his hand using a towel to dry his hair, Rogue sat down on the couch sighing. Since Lucy occupied his bed, Rogue was left with the couch to sleep on. Frosch would sleep on the bed with Lucy because Rogue told her to, so she would be more comfortable than on the couch with him.

He laid down on the couch and soon fell asleep.

(Dreamtime :] )

Rogue stood in the office of an unfamiliar house. There were neat stacks of paper on the desk and a few bookshelves sitting around the room. He looked around and saw a clock on the wall. It was around 9 at night.

Something told him he had to go somewhere so he exited the room, curious about the place he was in. His body reacted on its own as he walked down the hallway and he turned many corners, not knowing where he was going exactly. Then he suddenly stopped in front of a door with pink and blue stars decorating it. He opened the door quietly and saw that it was something like a nursery for young ones. "Children?" He muttered to himself. And there they were, two children in a bed cuddling each other. They were no older then 5. One was blonde and the other a brunette. As Rogue stared at the kids, a smile made its way to his face unknowingly to him.

A gentle hand touched his shoulder. Rogue turned his head to see a figure of a woman standing beside him but it was too dark to see who it was even if the lights were on. They were very dim. "You should sleep too dear." An angelic voice ringed in his ears. Her voice was very familiar, yet different to him. He could only nod at her as she took his hands into her smaller, softer ones and pulled him along to probably the master bedroom.

The stopped in front of two large doors that looked like it was made out of the finest oak wood the was. Two maids stood beside each door and pulled them open for Rogue and his 'wife'. Before anything else, she pulled him down gently and planted a kiss on his lips before bidding him goodnight.
