Lucy trembled; was she hearing things?

"Wait, WHAT?" Natsu yelled, furious. Who wouldn't? They were all having a good time and suddenly, 'pop!' a stranger suddenly came up to bring Lucy back.

"You heard me," Jude Heartfilia sneered.

Ur narrowed her eyes, "Layla entrusted me with Lucy and when I asked for your permission, you agreed,"

Jude scoffed, "Did I? Well now I want her back and I believe your job is now over so you can go back to your daily lives,"

Before Ur was able to speak, Gray cut her into it, hissing, " Listen here old man! Lucy's not just some kind of thing that you can just pass around and ask for back, she has feelings!"

Jude frowned, "You better teach him some manners Ur,"

"Who says you could insult my son?" Ur glared, "In fact, he's right!"

"Well, you can't do anything about this because she is my daughter," Jude spat.

"Don't forget that she's also Layla's!" Ur hissed.

"She's gone now, what do you expect? Her to come alive suddenly?"

Ur faced the man standing in front of her right now, tears were streaming down her face. How could he talk about her best friend like that?

"Mind your manners Jude! Remember I could shut down your company in a snap if I wanted to!" Ur yelled.

"Oh, what's this? My wife's best friend threatening to shut down our company?" Jude smirked, "Remember Ur, the company was Layla's too, and you're planning to shut down the company we built and worked really hard with?"

Ur shut her eyes, taking a deep breath. She knew he was right, it was one of the things her best friend worked really hard on for years and she couldn't just take it away like that.

"M-mom," Ultear stuttered, worried. The gang was silent and no one dared to make a sound.

"I'll come back in three days Ur, farewell," Jude bowed mockingly and went towards his car. When he was gone, everyone was silent.

"H-how could he?" Ur covered her face as she continued to sob, Ultear hugged her and she hugged Ultear back.

"That bastard! Just who does he think he is?" Lyon punched a nearby tree, cracking it on the process.

"L-Lyon-sama, you're bleeding!" Sherry gasped and ran towards him to tend his bleeding hand.

"Lu-chan's.. going.. to leave?" Levy looked down, crying silently. Mira hugged the crying girl in attempt of comforting her.

"Levy..." Lucy whispered.

"Even if Lucy-san is Juvia's love rival, Juvia doesn't want Lucy-san to leave!" The bluenette cried, shaking her head at the thought.

"Juvia..."

Many of the gang were crying by now and Lucy just looked down, guilty of causing their sadness.

"Oi,"

The voice made everyone turn around to the owner, which happened to be Gray.

"Do you want to stay here?"

Lucy nodded her head vigorously, "Of course! I'll give up anything just to be here with all of you!"

The comment made some of the gang smiled.

"You're part of Fairy Tail right?"

Lucy once again, nodded.

Gray smirked, "Well guess what? Fairy Tail members don't give up so easily,"

That comment was enough to make everyone smile and stand back to their feet.

"For once, I agree with you ice-cube," Natsu grinned, holding his hands up.

Gray took it and smirked, "Guess there's always a 'once' for everything,"

"Ara-ara, what do I see here? Best friends I suppose?" Mira smiled playfully.

"I think so too, look at their friendly smiles," Lyon joked.

"WE'RE NOT BEST FRIENDS!" They shouted in unison.

"You're not?" Erza raised an eyebrow, a dark aura surrounding her as she approached the two boys.

"Guys, can we just stop this nonsense because we have a much more important thing to deal with," Bisca crossed her arms.

"I agree with Bisca-san, we shouldn't waste our times on nonsense since he'll be coming back in three days," Freed pointed out.

"SO YOU'RE SAYING WE'RE NONSENSE?"

Ur who had stopped crying chuckled at this, "You sure have rowdy friends don't you?"

Lucy smiled softly, "Yes Ur-san, and I'm very lucky to have them,"

"So!" Natsu grinned excitedly, "Why don't we just spray him with spray paint?"

The group was currently huddled up in Natsu's house since Ur had wanted some time alone. As you can see, they were thinking of a good plan so Lucy could stay but the result was... not pretty good.

Loke groaned for the twenty-sixth time, "Think of something more logical will you?"

Natsu pouted and started thinking of more ideas.

"Why don't I just threaten him with my swords?" Erza suggested.

"You'll be a criminal," Lisanna sweatdropped.

"H-how about w-we just t-threaten h-h-him of c-closing his company?" Aries suggested.

Eyes were sparkling right now.

"But it was also Lucy's mother's company wasn't it?" Cana pointed out, "That's why Ur-san didn't dare to close it,"

There were a lot of disappointed looks now.

"I-I'm sorry for n-not being a-any help!" Aries squeaked, bowing and saying 'I'm sorry' for several times. She finally stopped when Loke sighed and plopped her down on his lap which Aries had blushed on.

"Oooh! I got an idea!" Levy smiled. The gang sparkled once again, an idea from the genius of the group would be very convincing right?

"What is it?" A curious Gajeel asked.

Levy whispered to the group and there were smiles and smirks appearing on the gang's faces.

"Let's do this," Erza smirked.

"Fine, "Gray sighed.

"You don't have to do it if you don't want to," Lucy smiled, "I'm thankful enough for you defending me,"

"Yeah…" Mirajane nodded, "Why don't Natsu ju-"

"I'll do it," Gray swiftly interrupted Mira. Curious stares were on him right now, Mira and Erza's? Smirks, evil ones to be exact.

"I-I mean, I'll do it or not Flame-brain will mess it up," Gray reasoned.

"You really care about Lucy ne~?" Mira smiled.

Gray blushed at this and looked away, "Let's just get it over already,"

Erza and Mira smirked at this.

"Alright! Mission Get-Lucy-to-stay-here-rather-than-with-the-jerk-because-she'll-be-happier-with-us-which-is-so-obviously-true-and-of-course-not-being-narsistic-here-jerk-face or mission G-L-T-S-H-R-T-W-T-J-B-S-B-H-W-U-W-I-S-O-T-A-O-C-N-B-N-H-J-F for short will now commence!"

"YEAH!" The gang roared.

"And by the way Natsu?" Lucy began.

"Yeah?"

"What's up with the long mission name?"

"I have no idea," Natsu grinned.

Sneak peak:

"What do you mean by this Lucy? I demand an explanation," Jude hissed.

"Well father," Lucy smiled in a sickeningly sweet tone, "Just as you heard us,"

"I never agreed into this!" He roared.

"Why aren't you? Afterall, you get a lot of money from this right?"

A/N: And that's it! Sorry for the cliff-hanger, I can't tell what Levy's idea or it'll be ruining the story! Anyway, there's a sneak peak so I guess it is already spoilers? I'm sorry if you didn't like the idea (which you will see later) and for this short chapter! R&R please!
