A whole week going...now that's skill. Eurgh. Back ar school now though; updates will be a little later now. :) \p
"Mom?" Lucy exclaimed. Natsus eyes jumped between the blond woman and Lucy. Did Lucy just call her 'mom'? Lucy looked so shock that Natsu didn't want to do.
"Pardon?" the woman furred her eye brows, watching Lucy in utter confusion.
The stellar mage saw how confused the woman looked and Lucy gave a deep sigh, falling back onto her legs. "I'm sorry." Lucy mumbled through her palms. Her head sat in her hands. Natsu sat up watching the blond next to him. As husband raised to touch the stellar mage, he noticed the blonde shaking. "Lucy," his voice turned into a quiet whimper.
"I just thought..."Lucy heaved a loud sigh. "doesn't matter," Lifting her head, Lucy gave Natsu a big smile. Even if a despair was turmoiling inside her, she wouldn't show in. With a sympathetic gaze he decided not i push it any further.
"Are you the patient with the headaches?" The elderly man with a black briefcase appeared in the doorway. Silver hair brushed a comb over, covering the shiny bald patch. Weak hazel eyes looked kindly at the celestial wizard. Dressed in a formal attire except the spotty purple tie covered in smiley faces. Lucy remembered when she was young, she had a doctor that looked just like hIm. Actually, he looked exactly, down to the to loose braces he wore.
"Yes," Lucy nodded remembering tp answer his question. Natsu turned to sit on the edge of thumbed as the blond shuffled to sit next to him. A dull pain still robbed in her mind. The may approached slowly, hands shaking as he set his breifcase on the bed. With the click of the rusted gold latch, the breifcase opened. Strange tools filled the box. From this inside pocket of his blazer, he pulled out a small torch. It flicked on and he pointed it in Lucys eye, moving away and back again. Lucy looked distantly as the man continued with tr little rutine; eyes, ears, mouth and heart. Even though Lucy responded to the mans commands, she seemed in a world of her own. She was right next to him but Natsu could help but feel she was miles away. In a unreachable place. The slayer didnt like feeling like he couldn't be by her side.
A warm, strong hand squeezed Lucys. Falling back into the world front of her, Lucy was drawn back to him. Eyes hand, they led to a pink haired slayer. A sorrowful look covered his face, he was like a shy child. Except, Lucy felt so guilty for making the dragon slayer look like that. "Have you being doing any stressful work lately?" A dry, warm voice asked besides her. Lucy turned back to he elderly man.
What had she been doing? Oh, thats right. She was in that experiment. And Natsu he was like holding her...and it all went white. Lucy gripped her arm remembering how her arm was spliced open. How could Lucy possibly tell him that? Quickly, she had to make up a lie. "I suppose I must myself in the fields." Lucy laughed weakly. Sadly, Lucy was only inspired by the lie because of her torn and dirty clothes.
"Very well. I'm sure it was just from exhaustion; you must be careful not to overworked yourself in the future. A steady pace is always the good way to walk long distances." The man packed up his brief case. From his pocket the man pulled out two lollipops; one pink and one yellow. He handed the yellow one to Lucy, patting her head with a big smile. "You were such a good patient." For some reason, Lucy felt like a dog getting praised. Afterwards, he turned to the eager Natsu. With another light smile he handed the dragon slayer the pink lollipop. "Take good care of your friend, make sure to get home safely," he beamed, picking up his suitcase and leaving the two. The woman insisted on seeing the doctor to the door. Instantly Natsus dissolved as he put it in his mouth.
"Don't melt it!" Lucy scolded the boy. Natsu gave her a foolish grin, laughing her off.
"Hey Luce! Gimme yours!" Natsu suggested lunging for hers. Lucy lifted it out of his reach.
"No." After another lurch forward the dragon slayer missed and fell over onto Lucy's lap. "This ones mine." Lucy popped the lollipop in her mouth with a greedy smile. Natsu rolled over on the stellar mages lap giving her the sad puppy eyes. Lucy groaned giving him a sympathetic smile. Off guard, Natsu reached for the lollipop in her hand again.
There was no fooling Lucy, she had already shoved it in her mouth. a mischievous and playful grin licked her lips as she glared menacingly at the worried slayer on her lap. With a thrust of her legs, the pink-haired boy went rolling off her lap onto the floor. lucy grimaced as he landed with a hard thud on the floor. Lucy have a amused laugh. Natsu laughed with her, rubbing the back off his soft head. Even if ot was just for a moment, Natsu hoped her could reach Lucy. Seeing her openly laugh, even with whatever was worry in her inside her head, he managed cheer her up.
When the woman returned, she to follow her. The pair did willingly. Lucy couldn't help but feel uneasy around the woman who resembled the mother she lost so menu years ago. One other thing Lucy noticed was the interior of the house. She didnt remember how she ended up in the house from the garden, but one looking at it nostalgically. It looked just like her old home. Yes it looked a little new and the art was different but it, from where they passed, had similar interior as her old home. Could it be replica? Many houses in the aristocrats houses had been.
Lucy felt even more sure it was her own home as thy were lead up the main stairwell. Yes, it had been a while since she was home, but she could swear this was definitely her home. The woman stopped on the top of the stairs. A smaller woman with curly brown hair appeared. " Spetto, please could you assist these two to change?"
"Of course Milady." the woman bowed.
Spetto! This woman also resembled the old servant from her home. She looked younger but that was definitely her. Now this was getting weird. Natsu and Lucy followed the short woman through a few wide hallways until they approached two tall mahogany doors. Another maid waited outside the door. Curly brow hair bounced on her shoulders. The shirt lady stopped. "This is renelda, she will assist you in changing " The woman gestured to Natsu to the maid. "please follow me." to Lucy opening thwarting right door.
Lucy disappears behind the door, her eye brows furred in somekind of troublesome thought. Natsu sighed, following the younger maid in through the left door.
Lucy had forgotten how tight a corset was. Its hugged her chest so tightly almost crushing her lungs. Or at least changing the organization of her internal organs. Never the less, Lucy's attention was completely absorbed into the little woman pulling jerk corset strings, idlelly chit-chatting with her in a welcoming manner. There was no doubt this was peco from her home. "So, is that boy your fiancee?" she asked curiously. Her gaze was soon over as she realised the question.
"Erm...No. He- He's just a friend." Lucy panicked. The celestial mage mind slapped herself about how suspicious she was of their relationship. The woman gave a devious grin.
"I see how it is," she chuckled. Oh dear, she had completely misunderstood. If peco would at all try to tease Natsu and mention that she had said they were in somekind of secret relationship, who knows which random and embarrassing way he'll misinterpretation it.
"Even Lady Lalya thought you were a couple." Spetto smiled.
"Lady Layla!" Lucy gasped.
" Lalya Heartfilia is the woman of the house." Spetto added. So... It really was her mother. a sudden thought occured to her.
"May I ask what year it is?" Lucy spontaneously asked. Spetto gave her a raised eye brow.
"Year? His could you possibly forget what year it is?" The woman exclaimed. Lucy jadnt to think of yet another lie, she might as well go with the flow.
"The truth is, the pink haired boy is my husband. My father idnt approve of the marrage and said he'd hurt him if I continued to date him. In the end, we ran from my father so we could be together, but we've been on the run so long that even a years could of passed. " A untruthfull tear rolled from her eyes. Quickly Lucy covered her face, wiping away her tears. "Im sorry, I didn't mean to ruin the atmosphere." she apologise shyly. Poor Spetto, she was on the brink of crying. Tears watered her eyes. With a weak cough, she cleared her treated and dried her eyes.
"Its year X767." Spetto replied. Poor, poor Spetto was always took in by a sad romance story.
Just as Lucy presumed.
Once Lucy had finished dressing, she hurried into the neighbouring door. Luckily Natsu was alone. Being dressed in a morning coat and formal attire really made Natsu look handsome. But something else took over Lucy's mind at the time. Therefore there was no checking out Natsu for now, no matter his good he did look.
"Lucy!" Natsu exclaimed. Scanning her up an down the dragon slayer was in awe. Lucy looked beautiful. Dressed in a oceanic blue dress, studded with pearls and a matching necklace with her hair flowing in beautiful curls down her back, Lucy definately stunned Natsu,sending his heart to jump shipping beats at a time. Lucy smiled, walking to fix his bow. A pout pasted on his lips. "I don't like this; it feels weird." he complained. Lucy pulled out the white, dragon scale scarf from behind her back, wrapping it around the boys neck. As she smoothed her hands down over the his chest, her eyes looked saddened. "Lucy?" he whimpered, catching her attention. Something was troubling her. "What is it?"
"I know where we are." she replied, switching her gaze to the dragon slayers dark onyx irises. A worried look filled her brown orbs. "-or should i say when." she corrected herself.
"What do you mean Luce?"
"Natsu we haven't been transported somewhere. We transported back."
"You're speaking in riddles," Natsu moaned, anxious to understand.
"Natsu we went back in time.
Bum Bum Bum. So Lucy finally figured out that they have been throw into the past? What will happen now? Will the be able to find a way back?
