Chapter 6: Lucy Decision
Lucy heard Mira call everyone for breakfast. This morning however it seemed a little less chaotic don't get me wrong still crazy but a little less crazy, When Lucy exited the infirmary and walked into the commons she saw that Natsu had not yet come in for breakfast. Everyone was in there usual place except for happy who was talking to Mira, and Natsu of course since h was not present
"Good morning Lucy" Mira Greeted "How was your night"
Happy smirked trying not to laugh at the question
"Um fine why" Lucy answered
"No reason" Mira said quickly "If you want some breakfast its right here"
Handing Lucy a Plate. A still confused Lucy grabbed her plate and sat down with Levy, Erza and Wendy. Erza and Levy looked at her with suspicious smiles
"What" Lucy asked?
Levy Spoke First "So I hear you spent the night with Natsu"
"What, no it's, it's not like that" Lucy Franticly said.
"Are you sure you weren't getting cozy with the captain" Levy Teased
"Of course not we just talked"
"Really" Erza said "I would think two young attractive people like you alone at night"
"What kind of girl do you think I am?" Lucy yelled making the rest of the crew stop what they were doing, only for a second though since most of them pretended not to hear her.
"I just thought you both had plenty of sex appeal" Erza said still using her serious tone. "What did you talk about Wendy asked" trying to change an embracing subject that she barley understood.
"Just Stuff, like why he became a pirate and things like that" Lucy looked around
"Where is Natsu" Lucy asked, Grey looked up from his plate
"He said he was tired" grey answered
"Um Grey your cloths" Mira said informing him that his cloths where missing
"What, when did this happen" he yelled as the others laughed at him.
Levy brought her attention back to Lucy
"He's tired, are you sure you didn't have anything to do with that" Levy asked accusingly "I already told you we just talked" Lucy said angrily
"Relax we were just kidding" Erza reissuerd her.
A second later Natsu came running into the commons (honestly between food and sleep he wouldn't choose sleep for very long.) Natsu ran to the food and began to chow down even faster then normal he had to make up for lost time after all. He sat down Next to Grey and Romeo.
"So I heard you and. Lucy spent the night together" Grey Said with a smirk
"It wasn't the night just the early morning" Natsu said between bites.
"What did you and Bunny girl do exactly" Gajeel asked suspiciously
Natsu Just looked at him strangely "Bunny Girl?"
"Yeah she looks like a bunny" Gajeel said defending his previous statement.
"I don't think so" Grey said
"Yeah I don't think so either" Elfman Added.
"does too" Gajeel snarled
"Whatever, we just talked"
"That's it?" Grey asked
Natsu looked at him funny "Why would we do anything else"
"Because you liiiike her" Happy said flying over to them.
Natsu didn't react to Happy's comment instead he put his gand on his chin thinking about something which was a rare sight indeed.
"Hey do you guys think Lucy would be good on this crew" they all kind of just stared at him, maybe he does like this girl they thought
Gajeel spoke first
"Sure, why not" he said lazily "she can't be worse then Levy's dogs"
Then the others agreed at least with the Lucy joining part.
With that Natsu finished his plate then stood up and yelled
"ok let's go people time to get to work" and once again everyone went to there positions.
"Hey wait a minute how did they know that he was with Lucy this morning?"
Natsu thought then he looked over at Mira, who was washing dishes,
"Of course she gets up that early every day to eat her breakfast and then make everyone else there's, and she was known to gossip, and spread rumors"
Mira saw Natsu looking at her and just gave him her signature motherly smile before getting back to work.
Lucy sat on the deck as the ship sail watching the waves according to Alzac they would reach Clover soon, Natsu walked behind her
"SO, have you thought about what we talked about last night" Natsu asked,
Lucy didn't know he was there and was a little startled by Natsu, but regained her composer before speaking
"I don't know Natsu"
Natsu just smiled
"Well think about it" he said as he went back to his position next to the helm.
Before Lucy even had time to think Levy, Jet and Droy came behind her.
Levy had heard that Natsu asked Lucy to join and was excited.
"Hey Lucy, I heard Natsu asked you to join our crew" Levy said happily
"Um yeah" Lucy said looking down at the water
"Well you gonna stay" Levy asked
"Well I don't know" she said truthfully
"You defiantly should"
"Yeah, we could use someone else to balance out the crazy" Droy added
"Especially since the last member we got was Gajeel and he just added to it" Jet Said
"What was that, Lap Dog" Gajeel said from the crows nest listening to them with his super hearing. Jet turned pale in fear of the dragon slayer.
Levy shot Gajeel a mean look for calling Jet a dog again but then turned her attention back to Lucy
"Please, Lucy" she begged
"I just don't know" Lucy weakly answered.
A few minutes of silence past, until
"Clover ahoy" Gajeel yelled from the crows nest
"Mr. Connell takes us into port" Natsu said using his captain voice
"Aye, Aye Captain"
The Pirate Ship Fairy Law Pulled into port, its black sails casting a shadow over the docks. Elfman lowered the gangway that would allow those who wished to exit or board the ship. Everyone stared at Lucy waiting for an answer
Lucy began to tear up a little bit
"I'm sorry" She said almost crying "I, I can't be a pirate"
the pirates faces almost simultaneously turned sad and tears started to run down Lucy's cheek
Everyone one was silent at the girls tears till Natsu spoke up
"We understand" Natsu said sadly
"We'll miss you" Levy said with tears now in her eyes
"Well then I think we should head to Magnolia" Erza said hiding her emotion like she always did.
Lucy left the ship as the dock master started to come on
"Excuse me this is a private dock" the dock master yelled
"NOT NOW" Natsu yelled at him
"Excuses me but this dock belongs to…"
He was cut off by a sword to his throat held by Erza
"Leave now" she said threateningly, and with that the dock master took off as fast as he could when Erza turned around she heard footsteps of some one else
"Leaving so soon" a familiar voice said
Erza turned around to see Bacchus a world famous smuggler and ally of Fairy Tail although not always on the best terms with them.
"What are you doing here" Erza asked angrily
"Oh' well I was drinking like always and I heard a rumor, and I need your help" Bacchus said with a drunken hic up to fallow
"What kind of Help" Natsu asked
A sly smile appeared on Bacchus' face "Let's talk shall we."
