Normal POV
Lucy woke up early in the morning smiling.
"Ah, it so pretty out…" Lucy muttered, but in all reality, it was 6:30 in the morning and still somewhat dark.
Lucy got out of her bed and threw on some random clothes and left the cave.
"I'm going to the guild," she called to the still sleeping girls.
Knowing that there wouldn't be an answer, Lucy took of jogging threw the wood and then to the border of it.
Once Lucy was at the outside part of the woods, she grabbed her ipod, and went to her karaoke playlist, and began to scroll thru it.
"Fallen Angel: Three Days Grace
Painkiller: Three Days Grace"
Lucy was stuck between the two, but eventually chose Painkiller.
She turned the playlist on shuffle, and began her run singing to the music as she went.
"You know you need a fix when you fall down
You know you need to find a way
To get you through another day
Let me be the one to numb you out
Let me be the one to hold you
Never gonna let you get away
The shoulder you cry on
The dose that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
You'll love me till it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dose that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
I know what you want so desperately
You know I'll give you one for free
Forever you're coming back to me
Now I'm gonna give you what you need
'Cause I know what you fiend on and what you lean on
And what you lean on
The shoulder you cry on
The dose that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
You'll love me till it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dose that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Did you find another cure?
Did you find another cure?
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
You'll love me till it's all over, over
'Cause I'm the shoulder you cry on
The dose that you die on
I, I can be your painkiller, killer, killer
Painkiller"
The song stopped and so did Lucy. Well her singing stopped, her running slowed down but that's it.
Before she knew it, the other song she had been debating with came on,
"Late at night I could hear the crying
I hear it all, trying to fall asleep
When all the love around you is dying
"How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save
A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel
You do it all for my own protection
You make me feel like I'll be okay
Still I have so many questions
How do you stay so strong?
How did you hide it all for so long?
How can I take the pain away?
How can I save,
A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel, just let go
You don't have to be alone
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
I was right beside you
When you went to hell and back again
I was right beside you
When you went to hell and back again
And I, I couldn't save, a fallen angel
A fallen angel, in the dark
Never thought you'd fall so far
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel, just let go
You don't have to be alone
Fallen angel, close your eyes
I won't let you fall tonight
Fallen angel"
Once the song finished, she realized that she was at the guild and she ex-quipt out her her running clothes before she went into the guild.
"Hey Mira!" Lucy called walking in to the guild.
"Hey Lucy! Want that milkshake?" Mira asked pulling out some food.
"Yeah, and pancakes and bacon."
"Sure, Laxus' food is done, can you take it to him?" Mira asked handing her the plate.
"Um, sure...?" Lucy held the plate and headed upstairs with it.
Once she was up there, she knocked on the door.
"Come in," She heard Laxus call.
"Okay," she muttered.
Once she did, the sight shocked her. Laxus looked dog tired and was filling out papers.
"Hey. I brought food." Lucy said putting the plate on top of his paper that way he could see it.
"Thanks..." He rubbed his eyes and yawned.
"How long have you been here?" Lucy asked sitting down on a black leather chair that was behind her.
"Since 4 am," He sighed the started to dig into his breakfast.
"Wow, that's pretty early..." Lucy gaped.
"Eh, in a way, yeah it is, but I see it as part of the process..."
"What are you talking about?" Lucy asked.
"Nothing, Jiji wants me to be guild master once he's done, so yeah... That's it..." Laxus said nonchalantly.
"Laxus! That's a big deal! How come you didn't tell me last night?!" Lucy somewhat scolded.
"I didn't tell you because it was a date, not social hour and update time," Laxus' voice was full of rudeness, and he sounded grouchy.
Even though he got up a little over 3 hours ago...
"Whatever, I gotta go eat, see ya..." Lucy pushed herself up and out the door quickly, but she didn't want to be in there anymore.
...
Downstairs
1 Hour Later
...
Laxus had come out of his office by now and was talking with this team and Lucy had eaten and began to avoid Laxus, considering that she was quiet pissed at him.
"Hey Gajeel, hey Lily" Lucy walked over to Gajeel and Pantherlily and sat down by the said exceed.
"Hey Bunny, what's up?" Gajeel asked scooting over to make room for her.
"Not much, just bored as fuck... Wanna take a job?" She asked.
"Why would I take a job with you, eh Bunny?"
"Because we made a deal and you said that you would be on my team... Gajeel..." Lucy pretended to start to cry, "Did you forget?" A false tear slipped out of Lucy's eye making Gajeel and Pantherlily fall right into her trap.
"W-well... I..." Gajeel scratched the back of his head.
Before Lucy could speak again, someone joined them.
"Hey."
"Hey Freed, what's up?" Lucy asked whipping the false tear away so that way he wouldn't worry.
"Nothing really, can I ask you something?" Freed said grabbing his hair and started to put it in a low, loose ponytail.
"Sure what is it? Is everything okay?" Lucy asked genuinely concerned.
"I was wondering if... I don't, Lucy Ashley Heartfilia, would you like to go out on a date with me tomorrow...?" A rose appeared in his hand and he held it out to her in hopes that she would take it.
"Freed..." Lucy spoke, "Of course I would love to go on a date with you..." Lucy accepted the roses with much happiness.
Yeah... I know, it's kind of short, but(!) I was having troubles with my computer so, yeah... I did what I could...
Love you all,
Love always.
