A/N; As I've been having trouble with new ideas lately, I've decided to edit my stories to make them even better, grammar and spelling wise. I may also elongate some chapters/edit some places where needed.


*Loki's p.o.v *

I growled as I watched Hibiki pull Lucy's head onto his shoulder, while she fell fast asleep. My growl deepened as I noticed Eve asleep, with his head, in her lap. I wanted to hit something especially after all the events I'd witnessed today. Lucy blushing at almost everything Hibiki said, the way the two of them were so close to each other. She's MY master, My friend, damn it. MINE. I stood up, from where I'd been sat as I'd watched over the unfolding events, and started to pace around. This partnering was starting to make me nervous, what if Hibiki stole Lucy's heart then broke it? Because by the looks of it she seemed to be falling for the guy, and if I remember correctly, they had become extremely close over the last several weeks. The man was a known playboy..worse than me at times! I knew Lucy would never fall for me in that way I was just her friend and loyal spirit, no matter the amount of times I told her I loved her, she'd just brush it off...not hard to see why she turned me down either, as I was constantly on dates with other women. Suddenly I felt depressed no wonder she never took my confessions seriously, dating other women while confessing that I loved her. I was a horrible person/spirit! But oh well it's just who I am. (author: he sure bounces back quickly.)

"Are you spying on princess again?" Virgo asked, popping up on me outta nowhere and scaring the life out of me...again as was her way.

"What? No...well maybe a little, she's asked for my help on her current mission so I need to keep my ear out for when she needs me," I replied rather hastily.

"That better be the reason nii-san," The maid said in that monotone of hers. "Because if I find you peeping on princess while she's changing again, I'm telling!"

I paled at that, if Lucy found out I sometimes watched her have a shower or bath from the spirit world, spirit king help me...I was a dead lion. Obviously Virgo's threat gave her the desired reaction as she started to turn and leave. Returning to whatever she had been doing previously.

"Nii-san?" Virgo inquired turned back to face me. "What type of mission is princess off on?"

"Escorting a nobleman's daughter I believe," I murmured back at her as I saw Lucy, Hibiki and Eve depart their train and most likely head towards the clients home. Had three hours already passed in their world? It never ceases to amaze me, how quickly time passes here, especially after spending three years in the human world, living with their flow of time.

"Is princess wearing her usual attire?" Virgo asked. She sure was asking a lot of questions today.

I looked Lucy over and sure enough, she was wearing her normal mini skirt, tank top and boots, that left little to the imagination...I turned my head to virgo and nodded.

"Is she with team Natsu?" She asked.

"Nope she's working with Blue pegasus's Trimen for this one, as a fill in for a regular member" I explained, wondering why on earthland Virgo was so concerned about Lucy's clothing choices...she didn't usual care if Lucy exposed so much skin, I know I didn't!

"Then I shall take princess a decent change of clothes," She said and poofed away to Lucy's side.

I saw the whole thing play out, and by the spirit king was it hilarious! Lucy first shrieked and jumped a mile in the air, at having Virgo pop up without being summoned, then she looked rather annoyed at Virgo telling her to change, before looking towards Hibiki and Eve, which seemed to remind her, that she was working with the extremely well dressed Blue Pegasus members and was about to escort a nobleman's daughter, and which made her give in to Virgo's demands.

Hibiki and Eve for the most part were on the floor pissing themselves, much like myself, over the whole scene. Virgo then disappeared leaving Lucy very flushed and holding her change of clothes. I was still watching as she had gone into a toilet to change, when I felt two pairs of arms grab me from behind and blindfold me.

"Hey guys no fair!" I whined before giving in knowing full well it was Virgo and Aries. "Just let me go when she's finished changing," I sighed and then waited to be released. Why did those two always have to ruin my fun!


*Lucy's p.o.v *

Looking down at the outfit Virgo had given me, I mentally kicked myself. Compared to how Hibiki and Eve were dressed for this mission, I looked like a slut. This kind of outfit was fine for destroying dark guilds or my usual team missions, but escorting a nobleman's daughter...akkk! I was raised in that environment and knew very well what they would think if I had turned up dressed like that! Thank god for Virgo she really was like a guardian angel.

"Thanks Virgo," I whispered placing my hand over her key, feeling a warm glow of energy signaling that she had heard me. Before quickly stripping off my old clothes in favour of my new ones.

I walked out to where I had left the guys a few moments earlier. Rather pleased that I had managed to change so quickly.

"That was fast," Eve called noticing me, this also caused Hibiki to turn to face me. Huh did his jaw just drop?

"Is something wrong with the outfit?" I asked concerned, turning from side to side to see if anything was wrong with what I was wearing.I thought I looked pretty darn good, to be honest I always looked amazing in whatever Virgo brought me from the spirit world.

"No, no it's fine," Hibiki hastily replied, trying to look anywhere but at me directly, he eventually decided on looking at the floor. "It suits you."

I looked down to the skinny black jeans that had replaced my skirt, which had my belt in place so my keys didn't have to go in my bag, making them more accessible if a fight broke out. My tank top had been replaced with a sky blue silk button up shirt,left slightly unbuttoned so that chest didn't look unnaturally huge, with a black jacket on top, smart but casual. I also looked slightly older and more mature...who knew you could look this sexy with almost no skin showing.

"Well we better get going or we'll be late," I smiled grabbing Hibiki's hand and dragging the slightly dazed man behind me as Eve lead the way!


*Time skip to later that night*

*Hibiki's p.o.v

The meeting with the client had gone smoothly, we had explained our plan about using Gemini as a decoy and both the man and his daughter were happy about this. It also turned out that the girl and Lucy were friends from Lucy's time as an heiress. So that made the meeting much more comfortable. I knew bringing a girl along would ease any worries the father would have about leaving his daughter in our hands, though I hadn't mentioned that piece of information to Lucy. And the fact that they already knew each other, was very convenient, even if it had been a total accident.

Our meeting had run on well into the evening so, we had decided to stay at a hotel for the night and then depart on the 6am train in the morning, hoping that we could depart unnoticed and have an uneventful time. Lucy was slightly more worried about this mission now as she knew first hand how people who were bad guys or just desperate for money, liked to target rich families' children in hopes of a huge ransom, or how the kidnappers can have inside members who leak the when and where to their friends, so that the can set up an ambush...which could be tricky. The only one's in the room, besides Lucy, Eve and Myself had been our protectee and her father, so hopefully no-one else overheard our plans about having a decoy. If they had heard the time and place, it isn't too much of a big deal, we'll just hand them their behinds on a silver platter.

I gave up on planning could be events and strategies and turned my attention to Lucy. I watched the blond mage making our booking for the hotel and decided that seeing as it was only 7pm I would ask her out for dinner, and start on my plan to make her mine. She walked back over holding a key card, presumably to our room...wait why was there only one?

"Gomen guys the receptionist said they only had one family room left, and everywhere else is booked. Theres some sort of festival on this weekend it seems," She told us shyly. Did she think we'd be mad at her or something?

"No worries," Eve winked "I'll sleep on the sofa..unless you want to bunk with Hibiki?" He inquired evilly. I most certainly wouldn't mind! I shouted mentally already imagining the feel of Lucys warm body surrounded in my arms as she slept.

"EKKKK" Lucy shrieked, "I cou...couldn't pos..sibly..."She stuttered turning a new shade of red I do believe.

"Lucy calm down," I said plucking the card key from her hand. "Eve's just teasing you," I reassured. As I started towards the elevator I heard Eve laugh and push the still rather shell shocked mage behind me in an attempt to get her to follow. Aw they're acting just like brother and sister!

After we were settled into the room, managed to make the sofa bed up so that everyone had a bed to themselves...much to my dismay! Eve suddenly sprang up from his bed grabbed his wallet and ran off out the door saying he would be back later and not to wait up. I knew what that meant, either he was off out to check out the festival, giving me alone time with Lucy, or he was off out to chat up woman and maybe score, both were highly likely senarios. My guess was on both.

"Ne Lucy," I say looking at the girl who was watching the retreating figure of Eve as he left, somewhat confused. "Would you like to go get some dinner with me?"

This brought her attention straight back onto me, those brilliant brown eyes of hers shining with something I couldn't quite recognize. She nodded at me before standing up and sorting the few things she'd need out of her bag to get ready, a change of clothes and her toilet bag.

"A friend date or a date date?" She inquired looking at me with hooded eyes...was she trying to seduce me?

"Hmm..well..what would you be comfortable with?" I finally managed to spit out, why dear kami did my smooth tongue always seem to dry up around this woman.

"Well," She said pulling her finger to her full lips and tapped it there...my eyes were glued to that point and wouldn't move, not matter how hard I tried. Body do not betray me now, I begged as I felt my body heat up imagining what it would feel like, to tread my fingers into her golden hair, tilt her head back and ever so slowly place a tender kiss on those wonderful peach lips of hers. I shivered in delight at the thought.

"Did you get any of that Hi-bi-ki-kun?" She teased. I snapped my attention away from her lips and back up to her eyes. Blushing like a madman for been caught zoning out like that. Oh crap she must think I'm a huge perv now.

"Um...no can you repeat it please," I whispered sheepishly. She giggled at this before reaching up and kissing me on the cheek.

"I said how about we call this a trail date and then when this jobs over and we can relax, you take me on a real on," She said beaming at me.

I lifted my hand to my cheek where just moments ago her warm tender lips had been. I was somewhat confused by this sudden turn of events but I was no way in hell going to complain. If this was a dream please don't let me wake up, I had been wishing to go on a date with lucy for a few weeks now, so this most certainly was a dream come true for me!

"That sounds great," I smiled back, finally finding my voice only to notice the somewhat worried look in Lucy's eyes. Did I say something wrong? All the worry in her heart shaped face disappeared though as she heard my response, her bubbly smile returned to her face as she grabbed my hand and started pulling me towards the door, dropping her change of clothes and her toilet bag. Guess she didn't want to change anymore...well that meant more time for our date, and she looks amazing in that outfit that Virgo bought to her anyway.

"Let our trail date begin!" She declared laughing happily as we exited the room and made our way to the restaurant that was in the hotel lobby, seeing as we had an early morning we couldn't be up to late. But that didn't mean we couldn't enjoy our first kind of date. I smiled at that and I smiled at the feeling of Lucy's small warm hand in mine. I was truly happy, whenever I was with this wonderful, kind,caring woman. With that thought I let myself get lost in the magic of our amazing evening!
