Chapter 10

No one POV

It was really awkward walking to the train station. There was WAY too much tension. All the male mages were glaring at the prince while, Ash Mar and happy walked ahead of all of the guys.

Unknown to Ash though was that the prince was staring at her with lust in his eyes, and of course the guys were jealous that he even DARE look at their Ash.

They finally made it on the train, and without any "accidents". The prince had gotten them all a room of 6 beds while he got his own room.

"wait a minuet" Ash said as all the male mages set their stuff on the beds, "there are only six beds and there is 7 of us. Where am I gonna sleep?"

"your welcome to sleep with me" the prince said slyly, making me blush, "theres plenty, of room"

The dragon slayers in the room growled,

"no I think one of us can make room for her," Rogue said putting his arm arouns Ashes shoulders. This made her get even redder.

The prince tsked, then rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Im going to my room don't bother me"

We all stood in silence till we heard the princes door shut. Ash turned her head to look at Rogue with confusion on her face, "what the hell was that?"

Rogue looked at her with his usual poker face, "I just saved you from a possible rape"

She laughed, "Yeah right, like a prince would even BOTHER with a girl like me let alone RAPE me"

All the men in the room looked confused. Did she not know the looks she got from guys they passed on the streets? Or the jealous looks of girls? She must be really blind to those types of things.

"Anyway. Where am I gonna sleep?" she asked sitting on a chair at a little table in the corner of the room.

"How about you sleep in one of our bunks with us? Honestly I don't trust the prince, even if he is royalty. Tonight you can sleep with me," Hibiki said actually taking action. The others agreed to his idea, happy that they could all get a chance to sleep in the same bed as Ash.

Till realization of what he last sadi settled in, they all started to protest at the same time.

"What!?"

"Who made you the boss?"

"She should get to choose who she sleeps with first"

"Yeah! What he said!"

"….."

"You guys liiiiiikkkkke her!"

All the boys got red. Even Rogue had a light pink tint on his cheeks.

Ash burst out laughing, "BWAAAAHHHAAAA… y-you g-guys are hil-hilarious! BWAAAHHHAAA" She clutched her stomach laughing so hard. She had to take mulitiple breaths till she had calmed to just giggles, "Man! I thought Lucus was they only romantic id get to know,"

The guys looked at her like she had just grown a second head, which by the way is totally possible. Lucus? Who was that? Was that someone she knew back in Haven?

"Umm… Ash. They don't know who your talking about," Her black exceed best friends said covering her smile with her paw, like Happy did when he was teasing someone.

Ash calmed down ans shook her head, "Fine. We will take turns sleeping. Ill put your names in a hat and choose randomly so you guys will stop fighting, fair enough?"

Some grunted, others said "fine" or "whatever". She rolled her eyes and wrote all their names on papers then took out a hat from her NEP. "and the winner for tonight is… Sting!"

She held up the little paper that had said mans name on it. Sting smiled triumphantly as the rest glared at him with hatred.

The train started moving and all the men in the room, excluding Grey and Hibiki, had become immobilized. I laughed and helped The fine boys get the dragon slayers to their beds, it was still pretty early so Ash decided to go take a shower.

She grabbed some clothes and soap from her NEP and went to the bathroom. They were all going to have to share a bathroom. She pulled her clothes off and took a quick shower. She used her usual shapoo and conditioner, along with a new body wash, it was green apple scented. She got out and dried her hair then put on some black sweat pants and a bright yellow t-shirt.

She walked out to the room to see, the boys all talking, which was a sight to see so she decided to not bother them and eves drop. She walked to the side of the door and listened.

"So, how are we going to do this?" a voice she recognized as Greys asked.

"We will take turns, and see how that goes" Hibikis naturally flirty voice said.

"And we will see who she chooses!" Natsu exclaimed, then I heard a a groan and smiled. It was followed by a groan from 3 others and a snicker from Grey and Hibiki.

"Your awfully quiet Gajeel" Rogue stated.

She heard a grunt. Gajeel was always quiet so she diddnt understand why Rogue thought it was weird. After a minuet of silence she decided to walk in.

"Thank GOD you're here Ash!" Happy exclaimed flying into her chest like she did to Lucy many times before. He had been feeling neglected the past couple month since Lucy had been going on Missions with her boyfriend, Laxus.

Ash held him in her arms hugging him. Lily, Lector and Froche looked left out and quickly flew into her arms also. There wasn't enough room so Happy and lily were in her arms while Lector and Froche were on her shoulders. She then felt a weight on her head and knew it was Mar. All the exceeds had grown to adore the slayer mage and always tried to be around her when they could.

Ash laughed, "What happened while I was gone?"

"You should sing! It will help their motion sickness. Plus they will all fall for you even more," Lily stated. Ash turned red, as did the boys.

"They liiiiiiike you" Happy, Lector and Mar all said in unison. I rolled my eyes they were hanging around each other too much.

"SHUT UP!" all the men exclaimed at the exceeds who just laughed.

"But could you sing Ash? Please, please, please, please?" Natsu asked before groaning again and falling onto his pillow.

Ash giggled which made the men blush, "I guess I could sing one song…"

She took out her phone and looked through the music. The Mages and all asked her what it was so she told them it was an angel thing and they didn't question any further. She saw the perfect song, and let the music play in her headphone which she put on, and started singing with the music.

I need another story, something to get off my chest, my life gets kind of boring, its something that I can confess.

Till all my sleeves are stained red from all the truth that ive said, come by it honestly I swear, thought you saw me wink no, ive been on the brink, so

This time, don't need another perfect line, don't care if critics ever jump in line, im gonna give all my secrets away.

My god, amzing how we got this far, its like were chasing all those stars, whos driveing big black cars, and everyday I see the news all the problems that we could solve and when a situation rises just to wite it into an album, send it straight to gold, but I don't really like my flow, no so

Tell me what you want from here, something that will light those ears, im sick of all the insincere, im gonna give all my secrets away, this time don't need another perfect line, don't care if the criticts jump in line, im gonna give all my secrets away,

Oh, got no reason, got no shame, got no family I can blame, jus don't let me disappear, ima tell you everything,

So tell me what you want from here, something that will light those ears, im sick of all the insincere, im gonna give all my secrets away,

This time, don't need another perfect line, don't care if critics ever jump in line, im gonna give all my secrets away,

I opened my eyes to see every male in the room including the exceed staring at me I admiration. I felt my cheeks heat up and hated myself for it.

"Wow Ash, I diddnt know you were such a talented singer," Hibiki said.

"Well what did you expect? She was trained by ANGELS!" Sting blurted.

"I loved that song. Ive never heard it before though," Grey put in.

"So what secrets are you gonna give away, Shorty?" Gajeel asked. That got everyone's attention.

She narrowed her eyes, "depends on what secrets you want to know"

…..

"Fine, look, all of you can ask a question and I will answer as truthfully as I can. Okay?" She said sighing. Please don't ask about my past, please don't ask about my past, she silently begged.

"What was your life like before you were trained by angels and sent here?" Hibiki asked.

She looked up, thanks a lot guys, she thought. "Well, before Masters trained me I lived with my mom and older sister. My sister had a condition where she couldnt help acting childish, so when she was at age 18 she still acted like a little kid. She apparently couldn't help it. At least that's what my mom used as an excuse whenever I would get mad at her. My mom was an alcoholic whom I thin would get along great with Cana. My real dad…. Well he wasn't a very good dad. And after I found out he was sick, I saw him even less. I have 7 sisters and one brother. None of them are my full sibling,, they are all either half or step. Im a middle child with 3 older sisters and 4 younger ones with a younger brother….. not sure what else there is to say"

They all had been listening inventively as she spoke. They were shocked when she said she had 8 siblings.

"who is the Lucus guy you mentioned earlier?" Sting asked next. She smiled softly at the thought of her old friend.

"He was my other best friend, besides Mar. We three did everything together, like the three muskateers. He was a year older than me and always protected me. Though he was quite a player," she said with a laugh.

"Definatly, He had a new girl every week! I dated him for about a few days, but then decided it was just awkward. Like dating your brother or sister you know?" Mar said also laughing at the thought of him. "I remember Ash use to have the BIGGEST crush on him, though he was oblivious to it. Hes just as dense as Natsu"

"Hey!"Natsu said offended.

"Don't worry, Natsu. No one can be as dense as you" Ash reassured him.

"Damn right- Wait!" Natsu said angrily, while the rest just laughed.

None of them had even noticed that since Ash had sung they hadn't had any problems with the moving of the train.
