CHAPTER SIX:

LUCY POV:

Knock. Knock.

"Who is it?"

"Me, Father."

The deep voice said something to someone and suddenly the large doors to my father's study opened.

"Leave us, Kerin."

I watched as the dark haired servant scurried out in her long, plain brown robe. She dipped her head to me before closing the doors behind me. I faced forward and took a deep breath. "Father? You summoned?"

I curtsied as he turned around in his high-backed chair and scrutinised me for a good ten minutes.

"Yes," he spoke at last, apparently pleased with my appearance.

I straightened up and looked at him, "What about?"

He seemed to hesitate, a rare sign that he was nervous… unsure of how to go about something. Which meant bad news for me. He cleared his throat. Really bad news.

"Father?"

"Ah, yes," he nodded to himself and turned his dark eyes on me, "I have found you a suitable husband."

My mouth dropped open, "What?!"

"Close your mouth Lucy," Father frowned in disapprovement, "It is most unappealing."

"You're forcing me to get married?!" I yelled, even as I did as he said.

"Do NOT yell, Lucy," Jude said irritably, rubbing his temples, "And calm down. It is my job as a father to make sure you find a suitable husband to provide for you and make the company grow strong if you are to take over one day."

"Your JOB?!" I was fuming, how could he do this to me?! "HOW IS IT YOUR JOB TO MAKE ME MARRY SOMEONE I DO NOT KNOW?!"

"I OBVIOUSLY SET UP A TIME FOR YOU TO MEET HIM!" Jude was now shouting back at me and I flinched and cowered under my father's rage, "THE WEDDING DAY IS ALL SET, SO THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO TO RUIN THIS FOR YOUR FUTURE OR THE COMPANY! I SWEAR, YOU ARE SO MUCH LIKE YOUR MAVIS FORSAKEN MOTH-"

He froze. I froze. From outside the door, I could sense Ms. Spetto and her nosey trio freeze. He recovered however and refused to meet my eyes as he spoke lowly and dismissed me with a wave of his hand.

"He will be here tomorrow. I expect you to show him good courtesy and don't try to scare him off."


MY POV ^W^

"Lucy," Levy said as soon as Natsu walked into the Fairy Tail's Computer Lab where she had been checking out the DNA samples on the black and pink gun her salmon-haired gang member had brought in. "Her name's Lucy Heartfilia."

Natsu frowned as he sat on the table besides the bluenette. "Heartfilia?"

"As in the rich man who owns over half of Fiore?"

They both swerved their heads to the door where a certain redhead and black haired stripper were currently peeking from around it.

"Yep," Levy said as she pushed her red glasses back up her nose, typing fast into the keyboard. "Apparently she's the richest heiress in all of Fiore."

Erza Scarlet let herself in and stood behind the bluenette, leaning on the chair, watching the computer screen.

"Wow," Grey sat backwards in a chair so he could watch the screen as well.

Levy pulled up a picture of the said woman in no time. A beautiful blonde with big chocolate eyes in a purple and white dress at the Yattle's wedding.

"She's so pretty!" chirped a little blue headed girl with long pigtails, "Is she your next target, big brother?"

Everyone looked to surprise at Wendy. When did she sneak in? Natsu bent down, "We're not sure yet, Wendy." He pushed her to the door and locked it before sitting back on the table. He sent her out with a, "Go play with Happy and Carla."

"What's she doing being an FBI agent?" Erza wondered out loud.

"Yea," Grey said, scratching his naked chest, "She has all the money in the world."

"Clothes," Levy said distractedly as she scanned the Magnolia Paper's website. Something she saw caught her attention. "Look here!"

They all leaned over and read:

WEDDING OF THE CENTURY!

Lucy Heartfilia of the Heartfilia Konzern and Sting Eucliffe of the Eucliffe Empire

Join them at their PUBLIC wedding June 25!

Match made in Heaven?! The two are to bring the biggest companies together!

"Well… there's that…" Grey muttered…

"But look here," Levy type a few words and pulled up another page with an on going conversation in place, "People are saying it's an Arranged Marriage." She typed a little more, "Lucy apparently just had a falling out about it with her father."

They went silent… "Maybe she's rebelling against her father then..?"

Levy whirled around in her seat, her blue curls bouncing. "Exactly what I was thinking," She told Erza.

"So what do we do now?" Grey sighed, scratching his head. His pants had disappeared, "We can't rid someone that important and high in society."

"And we wasn't going to, Ice Brain!" Natsu hissed.

"What was that, Lava Breath?!" Grey growled. They went head to head before Erza punched them into the door, "Shut Up! And put some clothes on! I'm thinking."

The guys whimpered but still shot each other death glares. Levy giggled.

"I got it!" Erza pounded her fist into her hand.

"What?!"

"We make her join us."
