Chapter 4
Sunday
Lucy was at Levy's house in the strapless light blue dress Levy had given her the night before. Although Lucy didn't like meeting new people she was really liking these people. She found the way Freed, Evergreen and Brickslow practically worship Mira's boyfriend Laxus hilarious. She found Erza's power a bit scaring but loved how she had a soft spot for Jellal (her boyfriend) and cake. Lucy found Cana's drinking habit unusual for a miner. Gray's stripping habit made Lucy feel uncomfortable, especially because of his overprotective girlfriend, Juvia. When Loke tried to hit on her she glared at him then started laughing as he ran away from her. Wendy had come up to Lucy many times but ran away before she could say anything. That worried Lucy so she decided to talk to the little girl.
"Hey, I know I say I do but I don't actually bite people…..unless there mean to me and my friends" Lucy tried to joke around with Wendy but instead Wendy worried asked
"Does that me that you will eat my big brother?"
"Na he doesn't look like he would taste good" Lucy replied. Wendy and Lucy both started laughing. This caught Natsu's attention so he came over.
"What cha guys talking about?" Natsu asked.
"How you don't look yummy" Wendy answered.
"Hey Wendy I need to talk to Lucy so can you please leave us alone for a bit?" Natsu told/asked Wendy.
"Ok" she replied.
"So what you need to talk to me about?" Lucy questioned Natsu.
"I know where you can get a job that pays more than your 3 current jobs combined" Natsu told Lucy.
"Really what, where is it and how do I apply for it, do I need any qualifications for it?" Lucy excitedly start to question Natsu.
"Calm down Luce, I already got you the job you just need to meet my father to discuss whether or not you will live with us or not" Natsu explained.
"Why would I live with you?" Lucy asked.
"Because you will be are maid" Natsu replied with a matter of fact tone. "Anyway you need to come with me so that we can sort that out, Wendy let's go"
Later on at the Dragneel house/mansion
"Hey dad this is the girl I was telling you about" Natsu introduced Lucy. Lucy bowed at her hips so that her whole upper body went down. She had made a 90 degree angle with her body.
"It is a pleasure to meet you both Mr and Mrs Dragneel" Lucy said with politest tone Natsu had ever heard.
"No need to be so formal dear we accept everyone here" Gradine told her.
"I just need to show you to where you will be staying aka your room" Igneel started saying.
"We will send you to school, we will help you when you need it and actually I was friends with your late mother Layla and I wish to see her daughter be happy so please think of us as your new family" Gradine told Lucy with a smile. This was too emotional for Lucy to handle she fall on her knees and started crying.
"Thank you so much for bringing me hear Natsu" Lucy said between sobs. This made Natsu blush and his whole family saw this and smiled at him. That night Lucy slept really while.
