where am I? again...I am just freaking sure that I am not dead cause this time I just fell unconscious due to magic drain...but I am still not awake?

Lucy was standing in a locked room with no way out, wearing a white floral dress. She tried to get hold of her keys but much to her panic it wasn't there so she just waited for something to show up...

this room is just locked up...how did I even enter than?

confusion. She was confused...that's when a small light creaked out from the hole in the wall... whoa was that even there before? Lucy said to herself.

The light at first was small but with every second passing on...it became bigger and bigger engulfing the room in its radiance Lucy covered her delicate eyes with her hands but tried to figure out by peeking a bit in between from her fingers.

There was a muscular body...she can't tell who it was but sure she knew it was someone...the body was made up of the blinding light that hurt her to be looked at but than she became a bit comfortable and started walking towards the muscular body...but than again...

from the other side of the room darkness emitted...she felt shiver running down her spine. She immediately took a step back...towards the light but the darkness was spreading with speed...making her flinch a bit but then she saw two red eyes looking on to her with...love?

She remembered the color...red? at this precise moment she didn't knew if she should be scared of the darkness or be happy that there was still a ray of light...it was just too confusing...

she closed her eyes...what is happening? Lucy was standing in the middle of a locked room with just too choice to embrace the inviting light or get engulfed by the comfortable darkness...what to do ?

"what would you like to have key girl?"

key girl..? she gulped while from the darkness no voices came but this time she was damn sure that she saw a small smile...that spoke for it...something like...I would be happy with your happiness...

Lucy opened her eyes wide jerking her whole body upwards...blink...blink. She looked around the room panting "hotel room?" the blonde girl sighed and clutched her fast beating heart...what kind of dream was that?! light and darkness...? Lucy felt her throat getting dried up so she glanced at the bed side table that was covered up with get well soon flowers, medicines, water...and wait a second hot boiling mushroom soup with some kind of card.

Lucy took the mushroom soup in her hands it was just a small bowl not much fancied or anything to get suspicious about but than she picked up the card and inspected it all around; pink colored with something written on the inside that went like this...

get well soon princess...

with love,

your secret admirer. :)

Lucy blushed secret admirer? really? but than she read the not again just to be sure if there was some hint of it being someone she knew? "princess" who calls her a princess...Virgo? no way, she called her hime even If she thought of calling the blonde princess instead of hime. Virgo will never like the girl in that...sense!

Another Quick guess, Natsu? nope. He is too dense to be romantic. lets move on...

Gray..Naah! These days he just sit around the ocean bed and look into the water lovingly as If waiting to meet THAT special someone after the mission and Gray is like Lucy's brother come on! he always acted that way so...no point in thinking about him being the one.

Could it be loke? hmm lets see. Princess...yup! the lion celestial spirit always called his master princess...ohk and he must have felt bad that he was not able to help Lucy during one of her fights as she was on a date so this must be a sorry note too. So, final...

Lucy laughed and spoke to herself "it is loke"

creak...the door opened...

Lucy's eyes diverted towards the door it showed a guy with raven hair wearing a cloak over his dress that looked like more of a ninja...rogue.

His face was expressionless, he stepped towards the girl who was sitting on the bed holding a bowl awkwardly looking at him with a smile. "how are you?" they were just simple words but it hit lucy at the right place...in the sensitive part of her mind and all kinds of words started crowding her little blonde skull. "I feel good now..." She gave him a sweet smile again...smooth! thank god I didn't stutter...

He nodded and asked if he could sit next to her on the bed to which she just agreed without hesitation. "so Lucy I came here to thank you for yesterday" and handed her a sack of gold..She blushed a bit in the beginning but when he just took her hand in his own and handed a pink small bag...the girl became a bit amused. "oh no no! that was nothing! and what is this..?" she eyed the bag suspiciously and than when her eyes looked up to gaze into his blood red eyes..

something clicked...blood red eyes? just like I saw in my dream...rogue was staring at her without blinking that made her look away. "the half of our reward, the main thing was done by you"

Lucy laughed at his words "I didn't do it for reward...just wanted to see you guys were safe and in a way catching that guy was a part of my request as well" she pushed the gold coins bag into his hands...they were warm...snap out Lucy!

"I know that, our jobs in a way were intertwined so the hotel manager is letting us stay over here too for helping him out indirectly" He pushed the gold coins while saying this to her. Right now they were sitting so close to each other with both hands clutching onto one another...for someone who was unaware of the fact that their was a bag in between their hands would think they were holding hands lovingly.

"that's good" Lucy looked at her hands and blushed again at the state and retreated looking away while rogue did the same. Lucy swore she saw the guy blushing a bit! "I am not bugging you am I?" Rogue asked but this time he didn't make eye contact just waited for her to reply, Lucy was taken aback "oh no! Rogue! you are my friend and its nice to see that you care about me"

The raven haired teenager was looking outside the window straight at the gleaming sun "how? I just came here to give you the gold" oh...just the gold? and I thought... Lucy felt a bit embarrassed and sad at the same time. "just to give the gold.." the words slipped out of her mouth, he was now looking at her immediately causing her to cover them tightly with slender fingers gazing wide eyed at the now amused guy.

"I should get going" Lucy relaxed a bit..how? I just came here to give you the gold... the words still clouding her mind. She looked at his retreating figure ever so calm...back straight that's when he turned around "so how's the mushroom soup?" It was so sudden that she was out of words, Lucy was not even able to taste it as She got busy talking to the shadow dragon slayer. He smiled gently and left.

awkward.

"now I am feeling fresh as ever~!" It is noon and the sun was shining like always making the mage giggle as she inhaled the little breeze that tickled her face ever so lightly. After Rogue left she finished up the soup and went straight to the washroom and had a bubble bath and at the present moment She was brushing her golden locks wearing a dress that was prefect for the beaches and not to forget a thin belt that looked more like an ornament around her waist to carry the keys.

She jumped into her flip flops and made way to the lobby giggling and smiling all to herself that without knowing she just bumped into someone "ouch! sorry!" Lucy was the one being careless here so she apologized and looked up to the person who became the victim of her carelessness "Hanna?"

The girl was no longer Fragile but more of a lively person with a calm disposition "Lucy!" The raven haired was overwhelmed to see the celestial spirit mage that's when Lucy asked her about what happened? at which the girl explained that as she and her brother were just puppets of Jeremy they no longer had to go to jail but they did some really bad deeds in the past so they will have to work as protector mage's of the hotel for quite some time.

Lucy was happy! after all everything was coming into a nice end. Hanna bid her farewell saying that she had some errands to run and will say hi to Hades on behalf of her.

As she walked further a proud smile crept onto her lovely face. till some years ago I was so weak...that I wasn't even able to do anything without my keys and had to be dependent on my friends but this quest...I defeated two guys on my own! and even saved the duo! I mean I SAVED DRAGON SLAYERS! I am just so happy at my achievement!

"I am the hero!" Lucy stopped in front of Erza's room and did a victory dance before opening the door with a wide grin plastered on. there she saw Natsu , Lisanna all the gang assembled in the same place. Now she won't have to go to each and every person's dorm individually...glad.

"hey~! guys!" Lucy waved a hi towards them and took a sit next to gray, they all did the same. Lucy tried to absorb the chat the group was having before she came and noticed that it was about beach games and all.

"so Lucy you ohk now?" Gray asked at which Lucy stood up and did a little dance to show that each and every bone in her body was healed thanks to Wendy's Healing magic and some good caring. The group laughed at her cuteness.

"As you see the mission ended in a nice way. We can stay here for a while so what do you say how long?" Erza was as always sitting on the bed like a boss. She took turns to look at everybody that's when

Gray spoke out boringly "how about we go back tomorrow?" Lucy and Lisanna's jaw dropped together "no no no! At least five days! I want to stay here for a while" lisanna stated glancing at Erza who was nodding. Natsu was not interested as long as HE got food he was in. As for lucy she was also happy than Erza made her final decision "we will stay here for ten days" making everyone make a face like what?-we-planned-for-five-days!

"what!? My opinion doesn't matter huh?" erza said sulking in the corner on which Wendy comforted her. grey and Natsu were in a way disapproving so As you all know...Erza started to equip into her purgatory armor...and suddenly..

.

.

.

.

"we are in!" they both said in unison hugging each other. The girls and the exceed laughed a bit at the lively gang, never do they make them feel each other that it's a mission or anything..Its always lively with fairy tail. no matter where you go!

"Erza I will go and meet Sting" Lucy was not asking it was more like she told her what she was going to do cause The girl knew Erza won't mind but a certain pinkette started whining as soon as she left from the door "how could she?" throwing his arms and legs in the air "I didn't even get to spend time with her during the mission!" Everyone sweat dropped at his idioticness.

Sting was lying on the bed...well some people would be thinking right now. How did Rogue got all better and is walking around having good time with lucy while Sting is Lying on the bed half dead..well the reason is that during the fight he used a lot of light magic and even got beat up on the other hand Rogue was using shadow power and it was night time so odds were in his favor.

.

.

the blonde guy was feeling much better than yesterday but it was even after Wendy used some of her magic to heal him still his bones were quite deeply injured that the magic was not enough it needed time. "hey Sting" he recognized the voice, the same voice he was longing to hear it was of lucy.

He gazed at her she was really looking beautiful in the sun dress, she came in elegantly with a smile on her lips and sat besides him. "how are you?" Sting stayed silent looking down this time, that made Lucy a bit concerned so she touched his forehead to see if he had fever or not while doing so Sting caught her wrist stopping her in between. "I am...fine"

She waited...1 sec...2 sec...He isn't loosening the grip on her wrist instead he pulled her closer to him into a deep hug. Lucy blushed, He was holding her in such a nice way...The hug wasn't much tighter or looser..it was perfect. She heard small sniffs making her eyes go wide. is he crying...? Lucy scooted closer hugging him back but her hug was more that of a patting his back. "Sting? what happened? why are you crying?" He didn't say anything but just buried his face on the crook of the girl's neck. She felt hot tears making contact with bare skin of her neck.

"STING? oh god! stop worrying me! tell me what happened?" he at last let her go but the guy was too embarrassed to cry in front of a fairy more like in front of lucy he wanted to show her his tough, tsundere side instead He started crying like a baby. This girl is really breaking his walls... "I am sorry...Lucy" the words came out in a hesitation and when Lucy gulped down the scene and concentrated on his face she saw a deep blush ornamenting it.

This vulnerable side of Sting was new to Lucy...If she laughed right now it will damage his pride, If she stayed silent than he will find it weird and the situation will become awkward. So lucy did the most wisest thing , A small smile to wash away all the problems like they say a small curve on the lips can make everything straight.

"why sorry?"

"for my rude behavior...towards you...and the note...I left at your house"

"geez...Sting you are such a softy inside but what about rude behavior? you were not rude at all the past days"

"I was in the beginning..."

"I forgave you. now show me that stupid grin of yours" she said while giggling and he blushed a bit more. oh god..! he should stay this way! so cute! the girl thought.

"I still don't thin-" Lucy cut him off in the middle "ohk. lets start from the beginning..just think we never met and this is our first time meeting" he nodded and the blonde mage brought her hand in front of him.

"hey! I am Lucy wanna be friends?" Sting smiled and took her hand, shaking it. Lucy pouted when she didn't hear a reply "not cool you didn't answer me"

"Sting eucliffe, of course I would like to be your friend" and did his signature grin. maybe this is the starting of something new and special in my life... the blonde slayer thought in his mind while he saw the girl started talking about an incident she had with happy once to keep him entertained.

The sun has gone down and it is 6:00 in the evening, that's the correct time that Lucy remembers when she left Sting's Dorm. He kept on whining about not leaving him till he fell asleep and even Lucy's most boring of the stories interested him, there came a time she was feeling asleep herself so as expected from an intelligent lady she summoned Lyra to sing him a lullaby and it only took a minute or two before he closed his eyes and went to deep slumber.

"Luce aren't you coming to the party?" She heard natsu asking her at which she raised an eyebrow "what party?" He grinned, Lucy stared at him Sting and him has so identical grinning style... Before Sting's Grin reminded her of natsu but for some reasons natsu's grin reminds her of sting instead.

"Luce you are so dumb and weird~!" he said, Lucy frowned look whose calling the kettle black! "Mr. kazama is holding a party tonight to celebrate the victory of catching the criminal at last" Lucy clapped her hands together in happiness making Natsu grin again. "the party is already started! lets get going!" The celestial spirit mage, was wearing the sun dress that looked cute on her and even her hair were nicely done so there was no need to change so she jumped in excitement with natsu.

He led the way behind Lucy following him "you know what luce.." Natsu said without looking at the girl "I missed talking to you...like this. I missed your presence" he turned his head a bit to see Lucy smiling sadly at him.. he wanted her to say something as well..something like I missed you too... or anything! there was this feeling of emptiness inside him cause she was spending so much time with the saber's, he missed his best friend.

"you know what Natsu.. I missed you too" that's it, his lost energy made his way inside the body. Natsu was back to the goofy salamander again. He was glad that Lucy didn't forget him.

what a boring party...! the blonde girl thought who was sitting on the coach in the corner with a strawberry milkshake. She was excited to be a part because she wanted to have some fun with her friends but it looked like they were already into something. Erza was doing a slow dance with a guy wearing a cloak wait a second...why does that guy look like mystogan...? she quirked her eye brows.. indeed. It was mystogan but didn't she loved jellal..? the way she is blushing in his arms and...wait how the heck he is here !? anyway?! this is why she wanted to stay here for 10 days !

She thought Natsu and lisanna were also doing slow dance but when she looked at the disco side of the party, they were there doing idiotic dance steps that made her laugh. poor lisanna..she will never be able to have anything romantic with that guy..I wonder if he even kissed her? but even though lisanna was the lucky girl here..she was the unlucky here but somehow it didn't hurt anymore just a bit of sadness over that natsu never loved her but no..pain.

Grey was watching over Wendy as many drunk guys were hitting on her and as being the shy girl she wasn't able to come up with good excuses.

than there was Lucy, doing nothing drinking milkshake and getting fat. "hey princess" princess...? princess! PRINCESS! just a simple word but it was making revolt in Lucy's mind the note ~! she didn't look up... I didn't even open loke's gate and I can't feel his presence either..! it means it was not loke !

"you ohk there princess?" the masculine voice came again...it was not a familiar voice but not a stranger's either. Lucy looked into his eyes...they were RED! she started to think about guys who had red eyes... first person rogue... no he can't be..he had blood red eyes and these were simply red.

Gajeel...? who am I kidding !?

she wasn't able to look into his face clearly cause it was covered with a face mask...you know the one that we use in ball room parties. the mask made him look out in the whole crowd... he was handsome in the black tuxedo with a blue shirt inside..some of its buttons were not fastened. She totally forgot that the guy was waiting for her answer like a fool "I am fine" she stuttered... damn!

He bent forward and took my hand in his hand "will the princess like to have a dance with me" how bad it can get? haha he is a nice guy haha I guess... dance eh.. "no problem...lets dance" and she started to walk towards the place of more informal dancing you know the one in which natsu and lisanna were doing idiotic stuff. that's when she felt a tug in her hand "not there princess...lets dance on that one"

She followed his gaze and gulped down a little slow dance...is he crazy !? "haha ohk" he led me towards the dance floor, the light was so dim that they could hardly see anyone besides them. He waited for Lucy to get comfortable to the environment which she thought was nice of him.

He slipped his hands around her waist pulling the girl closer to him, she slipped her own hands one on the back of his neck and the other gets intertwined with his free hand. They look into each other's eyes before starting to dance. why does his touch feel so...comfortable...? why do I feel like I have touched these same hands before...? looking into his red eyes all she saw was comfort...these eyes reminded her of the dream.

"so princess how was the soup?" he whirled her around "It was good but how did you find me?" stupid question... lucy... he chuckled a bit much to Lucy's surprise "find you? you were the one who found me...not nice princess already forgot me..?" they were again in the same position just like in the beginning but this time when he pulled her closer he buried his nose on her neck, she was about to answer when he continued saying something "not good princess...I can smell another man all over around your neck" she blushed.

smelled..? and another man? it must be Sting's scent cause he was the last person who hugged me and is he a layer or what? "smell?" Lucy questioned the guy who was breathing in her scent. He pulled back and placed a finger on her lips "hush...princess don't jump into conclusions." they stood their like for 2 minutes with one hand intertwined and a finger on her lips, they both were lost in each other's eyes, a mixture of brown and red...

He knelt down closer to her face slipping one hand pulling the girl closer from waist. Her lips were light pink...Lucy knew what was coming but for some reasons wasn't pulling back but just let him do what he wanted to. They were few inches apart from kissing, hot breathe was tickling his skin, he parted lips only invited the guy but he just kissed her cheek and smirked "not now princess..After I claim you, save your first for me"

Lucy blushed, she can't remember how many time she blushed today but this guy was making it even harder to stop. He bowed down and in the blink of an eye...he was gone.
