But Now I have 6 weeks off so hopefully I will update for often!... Hopefully..

Chapter 7- Fiancé

Its been a week since the day Lucy confronted Lissana at school. The two made up and even became friends.

Lissana would tell her minions to stop bothering Lucy, but its not like Lucy cares anyway.

She even reunited Mirajane and Elfman after all these years in Fairy Tail, which Lissana thought it was weird and probably reuniting in a graveyard would be more explainable than a pub.

She keeps asking questions to Lucy like, So How Did you know my brother and sister? or Are you dating Natsu?, which in return Lucy blushes every time shes been asked that.

"Wait. SO YOU GUYS ARE DATING!" Lissana yelled to Lucy."No! For the last time no!" Lucy counted and sighs, regretting telling her the incident of which when she encounter Natsu 3am at the convenience store. Well missing out 'cosplay' part.

"I'm confused" Lissana replied. Lucy looks up at her and opens her mouth to talk, before Mr Igneel comes back in for 5 period.

Lucy turns back around on her desk and opens her book to start reading.

"..So am I.." Lucy whispers what she was about to say to Lissana. Thinking what is the relationship between her and Natsu.

Are they friends or more than friends?

Period 6, the final period, suddenly overtakes 5. And soon the school ends and students began to leave.

Students exchange goodbyes, including Lucy and Lissana and walks out of the classroom.

Lucy walks out, with the pace of an old man, so she could be last and her driver can pick her up without being seen by the other students.

She waits outside the school doors, patiently while checking phone.

She then looks up, to see the boy she was just about to text, standing by the school gates.

The boy sees her and runs back towards the school. "Luce! Lets walk home together!" Natsu shouted. "I just sent you a text about it too!" He added and laughed, while her phone just vibrated in her hands.

Lucy opens her phone and see Natsu message. She smiles.. in her mind as the stubborn girl doesn't want to show any emotions.

"Sur-" As Lucy was about to say but was interrupted by her driver pulling up to the school ground. "Maybe next time?" Lucy replies. Natsu looks over to see the driver, understanding whats going on.

"Sure. See a tomorrow then Luce!" Natsu waves and leaves before her.

Lucy gets in the car, who her driver opens the door.

"I wanted to say sure.." Lucy mumbles at the back seat. Then blushes. 'Idiot. Idiot what are you saying!' She thought.

"What are you saying?" A voice suddenly said next to her, causing Lucy to jump a bit.

"S-Sting?! Why are you here?" Lucy asked, and Sting says nothing back.

"I feel like this has happens before." Lucy said and gets her lip gloss out of her bag.

"You've changed lately Sis" Sting said and looks at her. While Lucy puckers her lip gloss covered lips.

"What do you mean?" Lucy questions.

"Well.. the aura around you is more happy and bright compare to couple of weeks ago. " Sting replies. "Happy and bright?"

"Yup. Its much more better, trust me" He said as Lucy thought if its the doing of Natsu in her life.

"He wanted to walk home with you right?" Sting suddenly said. "I saw you two talking when the car pulled up"

"Yeah.." Lucy replied.

"Do you want to?"

"..Yeah.."

Sting turns his head back straight. "Remember your a Heartfilia. Don't fall in love with him easily." Sting assured.

"Yeah.." Lucy said again but this time with sadness in her tone.

Lucy looks at him and then suddenly gets her mind cleared. "Wait why are you here again?"

"Ah. I needed to go to the company building so I thought of catching this ride with you" Sting smiles, which Lucy knows he has another intention.

"Oh really?" Lucy said, not really expecting an answer.

Sting didn't reply, making Lucy's theory correct.

"Ah stop the car" He said to the driver.

The driver pulls over to the big building whilst Sting un-buckles his belt. Sting gets out and gives Lucy a smile before he leaves.

'I can't be found out' Lucy thought with invisible sweat running down her face.

The car moves and eventually arrives at the mansion.

Lucy walks in and goes straight to her room.

She opens her phone to see no messages and drops it on her bed.

Knock. Knock. The door suddenly made the noise.

"Yes. Come in." Lucy said.

The door opens entering the pink hair maid, Virgo.

"Princess. Master request you to wear this and see him." She said, grabbing the baby pink fabric of the other maid standing by the door.

"Father?" She walks up to her and inspects the fabric. Which turns out to be a dress.

"Why am I too be dressed?" Lucy asked.

"You have a guest, Princess." Virgo replies, monotone.

"Oh." She could only let out as 2 more maids come in and help her get dressed.

Lucy walks to her fathers room and knocks on the door.

"Come in." A deep voice came through the door.

Lucy opens the grand doorway to see his father and a unknown man.

"Sit down Lucy." Jude commanded and Lucy nodes and sits down, waiting for him to tell her who the man opposite her is.

"Lucy this man is Mr Cheney. Hes going to be your fiancé" Jude said with a serious face. Lucy heart then stops as soon as she hears the word fiancé.

"You can call me Rogue." The blacked hair man said while extending his hand. Which she hesitantly shakes it and nodes.

Lucy turns to Jude. "I appreciate father but you promise to give me time before I turn 17."

"Yes Lucy that's true but you only have three weeks. I'm just preparing for your future." Jude said. "You still have three weeks and this man Rogue is kind enough to give you a chance to find another man. But he is your husband if you can't find one."

Lucy feels a little disgusted at his father. Knowing that he wants her to marry for his business and not for her future.

"I will treat you well." Rouge said. "I can protect you" He added which made Lucy laugh inside as she is more than capable of protecting her self.

"Thank you but I believe in only marrying someone if I love them" Lucy chucked slightly.

"Lucy. Hes not lying. He will protect you." Jude suddenly coughed. "There's a rumor spreading. A violent gang named Fairy Tail is after the Heartfilia and they are mainly after you" He added.

Lucy chocked on the tea. The maid quickly cleaned her with a handkerchief.

Jude looks concerned a little.

"Are you okay?" Rouge asked, helping her too.

"I-i'm fine. Thank you" Lucy replies. 'What the fuck. What kind of rumor is that?' She thought.

"It is surprising but its true" Jude said. "Rouge is actually from Sabertooth. The rival gang of Fairy Tail."

"Sabertooth? A gang? Isn't that dangerous." Lucy said. Acting little scared to her father.

"Rouge and Sting have been friends and doing business for quite a while. Hes in my opinion very trustworthy so you should believe him." Jude said.

Rouge nodes in agreement and looks a Lucy. "Don't worry. I'm not that dangerous" He laughs. "Not as dangerous as the Fairy tail anyway. Especially their boss."

"Their boss?" Lucy asks. Secretly dying inside. 'Is this guy stupid. Does he not know I'm the Boss?!' She thought.

"They say that shes a female. A very vicious and manipulative woman, but she doesn't appear much in fights." Rouge says. Lucy slowly nodes. 'hmm... Is that what they think of me huh?'

"Anyways. Hes here for you to marry if in 3 weeks if you don't have a man for my approval." Jude confirmed. "OK. dismissed"

Lucy stands up and does a small bow to Rouge before leaving to her room.

She told the maid that was about to help her get out of her dress to leave the room.

Lucy walks over to her bed and face plants on the cloud like sheets.

Sighs and grabs the phone on her bed.

The screen lights up and shows 2 messages and 1 miss call.

The miss call is from Levy and the first message is from her too.

Lucy opens it.

Levy: Come to Fairy Tail tonight. Somethings come up.

"Another gang?" She questions and opens the next text, who is from the pink hair boy.

Natsu: Wanna go out tonight? :)

She smiles a bit and replies without even thinking.

Lucy: Sure.
