"Then why say anything?! You know what fuck this!" All she could see was the flapping of his coat tails as he stormed through her door, a ghostly hand reached out to him. "Please just let me explain, please." A sob racked her body as his glare sent a chill down her spine before he disappeared with the slamming of the door.

Lucy woke with a start, her chest rising and falling with her rapid breathing. Her eyes frantically searched the room as her mind raced back to reality. It was just a dream. It was just a dream! It was just a tiny fight I shouldn't be having nightmares about this. Then again, we haven't really talked a whole lot since the fight…He probably just needs his space. Yeah, that's it.

Once Lucy could catch her breath she looked over at her pink alarm clock that read 8:00 am. Perfect I can get dressed and head out! Lucy jumped out of bed and put on the same pants from yesterday and her favorite blue hoodie, not really caring how she looked. Lucy was bouncing with excitement by the time she finished brushing her hair. She could not wait to be home and with her precious Plue once more. It was finally Saturday and she was going back for the little dog and to see her family, but mostly just to grab her partner in crime.

In all her excitement Lucy forgot to check out her peephole for her neighbors like she had been doing every time she left her apartment. She did not want to chance another encounter with the duo seeing as how her last one left her confused and miffed all at the same time. Lucy had just shut her door and was about to run down the stairs when Bixlow came meandering up to his door. Inwardly groaning to herself Lucy braced for the conversation she knew was coming. But to her surprise, Bixlow merely grunted what she presumed to be a "mornin'" and then fumbled to open his door. Not wanting to push her luck Lucy quickly darted to her car and set off on her journey home.

Laxus had just sat down at the rickety dining table with his breakfast when he heard what could only be a hungover Bixlow trying to get the door to open. Oh, this is going to be fun. An evil smirk slowly crept on to Laxus' face as his roommate finally got the door open.

"Stupid fucking door, stupid fucking Canna and her drinking." A very haggard looking Bixlow muttered as he trudged his way through the hall toward his bedroom.

"ROUGH NIGHT I TAKE IT?!" Laxus had to hold back his laughter from hearing Bixlow all but crumple to the floor clutching at his ears.

"Fucking prick! Be quite!"

Laxus snickered as he munched on his bacon still watching Bixlow get up off the hardwood floor. The same evil smirk still stamped on his face, and laughter dancing in his blue eyes.

"You're a fucking dick ya know that?" Bixlow glared at his roommate contemplating why he ever even thought moving in with the jerk was a good idea. Laxus merely shrugged his shoulders seemingly bored now with the situation. Bixlow continued to glare at the blonde hoping he would burst into flames on the spot.

Laxus began to grow annoyed with being stared at while he ate shot back a glare.

"You just going to stand there and glare at me all morning?"

"Yeah, like I want to see your ugly mug all day." Rolling his eyes Bixlow decides to head back to his room and escape the blonde until his headache subsided a little. Just as he went to shut his door he remembered seeing another blonde in the hall.

"Oh, by the way, your best friend was out this morning."

"And I care why?"

"Dunno just thought I'd let ya know seein' as how ya got the hots for her and all." Bixlow chuckled to himself as he heard Laxus choke on his breakfast at his latest jab. He quickly shut and locked his door as he heard the chair tumble over knowing that Laxus would be on him soon. Sure, enough not a moment later pounding at the door was Laxus.

"Just because you have the hots for anything' in a skirt doesn't mean I do!" The blonde continued to pound at the door in hopes of causing the man inside any amount of pain he could. Whatever I have better things to do than to deal with the Drunk's stupid remarks.

Giving up on the door Laxus grabbed his leather bag and yellow helmet and set off to his gramps' bar.

Lucy slammed her car into park as soon as she pulled up to her family's mansion. knowing she would get reprimanded if her brother saw what she just did, Lucy quickly ran up to the front door and burst through it. Her brown eyes scanned the floor for the white little ball of fur, feeling only slightly disappointed when she didn't see him right away. A small pout showed on her face as she closed the door with much less enthusiasm.

"Really, Lucy?! Did you expect the poor dog to know you were coming home? Much less be able to make it down the stairs on his own?" Lucy turned to see her brother laughing at her as he leaned against the doorway to the grand foyer. His hazel eyes danced with merriment behind his black-rimmed glasses. Lucy watched as he pushed off the doorway and lazily walking over to her slightly reminding her of a cat.

She still had the same pout on her face when she replied, "Yeah, I guess I didn't think about it. I kinda got too excited about seeing him." Lucy's head snapped up at the sound of his laughter and the feel of his hand landing on her shoulder.

"No worries, Sis. I won't tell Azura!" Lucy sweat dropped at the idea of her older sister finding out about how she made a fool out of herself yet again. The blue haired girl never lets Lucy get away with anything to the point where Lucy had been asked by friends if her sister hated her. Lucy knew that Azura loved her, but she also knew that Azura took their mother's death the hardest and that Lucy looked like an identical copy of her mother.

Snapping out of her thoughts Lucy grinned back at her brother, "Thanks, Loke! I didn't think you would be home this week. I thought you had a business meeting or something?"

The ginger just winked at her as he ushered her into the grand foyer.

"Eh, I did but chose to cancel it. I figured you needed someone to talk to about your first week at school. And who better to do that than your awesome older brother." Lucy rolled her eyes at his antics, but she was grateful none the less for the gingers thoughtfulness.

Lucy knew that she would not be seeing much of her father or sister today. Both seemed to almost avoid Lucy at every chance they got. Her father did so by immersing himself in his work, he claimed it was to ensure that the family wealth continued. While her sister either locked herself in her room or went over to her boyfriend's place.

Loke could see that his sister was thinking about the rest of the family. Her smile faded and her eyes held a look of grief and guilt. Knowing the look didn't suit her Loke brushed up against her easily knocking her into the wall. Snapping her out of her thoughts he merely beamed at her when she shot him a glare.

"Come on Grumpy, let's get some lunch and you can tell me all about your week."

"Whatever Gingy." Lucy's laugh rang down the halls as her brother shot his tongue at her. The two ate a simple lunch and Loke listened intently to Lucy's words. His brows knitted at her mentioning of the fight her and Natsu had along with how little they had spoken since.

"I wouldn't worry too much Lu. I'm sure Pinky just had a rough day or something. Maybe try calling him once you get back?" Loke watched as Lucy played with the crust she tore off her sandwich. When she continued to play and not answered him Loke cleared his throat and gave her a pensive look when she met his eyes.

"Yeah ok." She said glumly. She slid off the bar stool and grabbed her plate heading back to the kitchen. Once she placed the plate in the sink she headed off to her room still contemplating what had conspired this past week. Lucy meekly pushed open her bedroom door not noticing the white bullet that came flying at her ankles.

A frenzy of yips met her ears as she looked down at the little wiener dog. Lucy burst out laughing as she watched Plue "dance" on his hind legs his stubby tail putting off his balance due to too much excitement.

"I missed you too! Yes, I did! Oh, my." Lucy continued to laugh as she picked up the small dog that was shaking with joy and tried to lick her face every chance he got.

"Are you ready to go to our new home?" Plue merely yipped at her and tried once more to grace her with his kisses. Lucy moved to her bed wanting to cuddle with the small dog for a few hours before they started their ride back to her apartment.

After Lucy and Plue ate dinner with Loke they set off for Fairy Tail Estates.

Oh, come on Plue! Just sit still and you wouldn't get so sick! The duo had made it almost all the way home before Plue had started to get car sick. Lucy had been lucky enough to pull over and get him out of the car before he threw up. She was pushing her luck now trying to get back before another round of vomiting hit the small dog.

"Just hold it a little longer ok? We are almost there I promise." The small dog whined as he slides in the seat as Lucy swung the car into the parking lot. Yanking her keys out of the ignition Lucy swept Plue up into her arms and raced up the stairs.

Lucy barely noticed the blonde standing outside her door trying to get into his own place. Lucy's mind quickly registered the wrenching noise Plue was making. Knowing she only had a small window of time to get her door open before he once again got sick.

"Hey!" Laxus had just turned around when he felt something small and furry shoved into his chest. His reflects kicked in as he grabbed whatever it was and looked at the smaller blonde who was frantically trying to open her door. The fuck? Laxus glanced down as he too took notice of the strange noise that was coming from what he now knew to be a dog in his hands.

"Thank Mavis!" Laxus eyes shot up to Lucy who had now opened the door and quickly snatched the dog out of his hands and ran into her place.

"What the fuck?" Still stunned and not sure as to what had just happened Laxus stood in the hallway a few more moments until. Lucy sheepishly came back to the doorway.

"Um, I'm sorry about that. Plue doesn't do well in cars, and I kinda need both hands to open the door. So, uh thanks for holding him!"

Laxus just gave Lucy a look of disbelief. "You shoved a car sick dog into my arms…"

"Uh yeah..." Lucy felt a little bad for doing so and squirmed under the intense look the man in front of her was giving her.

"The thing could have puked on me and you just shoved it into me anyway? The hell kind of dog was that anyway? "Laxus was now leaning against his door only slightly as annoyed as his voice sounded. He smirked internally as he watched the busty blonde in front of him glare up at him. Laxus took note of how her hair looked better up than its usual down he had seen.

"Yeah well, he didn't so get over it! And he is a dachshund!" Lucy said indignity as she continued to glare at the man. Wait did he always have that scar? Lucy's glare falters slightly as she finally took notice of the lightning bolt scar that graced his right eye. Lucy then took note of how big the man was and how nicely his black shirt clung to his chiseled body. A slight blush began to form on her cheeks.

Laxus smirked as he noticed the blush that was forming on her round cheeks. Just as he was about to ask her if she liked what she saw he heard her phone go off.

"Yeah, whatever Blondie. Go deal with your sick winner." He laughed at the look she gave him and waved over his shoulder as he entered his apartment. Playing with Blondie might be amusing after all. Laxus chuckled darkly to himself deciding to run into the blonde bombshell more frequently. He didn't notice the questioning start Bixlow was giving him.

"Whatever ya thinkin' can't be good."

Laxus gave an evil smirk to the bluenett, "Ya know I think we should get to know our neighbor a little better." Laxus sat in his leather chair as plans to do just so started to form in his mind.

" Uh…Ok?" Bixlow still just as confused and worried as before gave his roommate one last glance before sauntering off to the kitchen. He knew better than to try and talk his friend out of any idea, it always just ended up with him getting a smack to the head and a raging headache.

Lucy shut her door slightly confused at what she was feeling towards the blonde next door. Picking up her phone she noticed that Natsu had tried to call. Well, Loke did say to call him when I got home. On the third ring, Natsu finally picked up the phone.

"Hey, sorry I missed your call. I was dealing with a sick Pule."

"So that's where you been all day? I tried to come over but, you wouldn't answer the door." Lucy stared at her phone as she heard Natsu's angry voice coming through.

"Yeah, I told you I was going to go get him. Why didn't you try to call me before you came over?"

"I shouldn't have to ask to come over Lucy, I'm your boyfriend!"

"I'm not trying to fight with you I'm just saying if you would have called it would have saved you a trip over here."

"Whatever Lucy, I'm going out tonight so I'll just talk to you tomorrow." Before Lucy could say another word Natsu had already hung up.

"I love you too." Plue noticed the sad look on his master's face and walked up to her whining at her.

"I'm ok Plue. I just don't get why he's so angry." Lucy set her phone on the side table and flopped down on the sofa with Plue curling up in her lap. Soon enough Lucy was drifting off to sleep as images of spiky blonde hair and lightning danced in her mind's eye.

Ok, guys, that is all for now. Sorry about the slow pace I'm still trying to figure out how to jump to the next step of Lucy and Laxus getting together. I am however sure that it will happen within the next two chapters. The reason I picked Aquarius and Loke to be Lucy's siblings is because I really love the relation Loke and Lucy have. As with Aquarius I think she fits perfectly into an older sister roll for Lucy, seeing as how she does love Lucy but won't show it. Oh, and here is what I envision Plue looking like images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=%2bPEE%2fV64&id=1DE02CF17BDC1E08D24B69A884B2EB0FA736B925&q=dachshund+white&simid=608018652989491218&selectedIndex=0&ajaxhist=0

Thanks for reading and reviewing! I will see y'all later!
