I am currently sitting first class on a plane. Everything is so nice and the view is astounding. Most of my friends sat at the front of the private jet while I sat several rows back. Natsu was sitting in the same row but across from me. He had a dark aura surrounding him and was in a bad mood but I was too excited to pay any attention. Everyone up front was whispering as they watched Natsu sulking in the back.
"Why is he in a bad mood?" Levy asked, getting the creeps from the aura he was producing.
"Does he not like where we are heading?" Gray asked Mirajane. She was the one who worked out the plans for the vacation.
"It was his idea to go to Hawaii." She replied.
"Then what's his problem?" Gajeel grumbled. He was getting annoyed at the constant mood changes that Natsu was going through. "Is he PMSing?" Our friends laughed at his joke. Little did I know how affected he was by my comment on the idea of him being in love with me. Even if I wasn't paying attention I could still feel the tension in the air around him. I wanted him to have fun on this vacation and enjoy himself.
"Hey Natsu," I called as he turned to face me. "Lets have fun, kay?" I smiled in hopes that my good mood would lighten his mood slightly. If anything he just seemed more annoyed.
"That's what I intend to do." Was all he said.
We were not in Hawaii. The ocean was a beautiful shade of blue as it reflected the light of the sun and looked golden. I couldn't wait to get into the water after we checked into the hotel.
"I made a dinner reservation for 7:30pm, until then you can do what you want," Natsu stated as he handed out the room keys.
"Lucy were should go sightseeing after we put our bags away. And there are a lot of places to shop at as well." Mirajane said and I readily agreed. Erza and Levy joined us. I found out the Gajeel had to meet with one of his fathers clients that was in town so he couldn't come and Gray wasn't interested in shopping so he decided to stay.
"What about you Natsu?" I asked turning to see him standing a few feet away now.
"I'm not in a very good mood so I'll be in my room."
"Come to think of it, you have seemed rather agitated today. Are you okay? I can get you some medicine or something." I offered.
"Who do you think caused it." His tone was cold, and accusing. I felt a shiver run down my spine. "Never mind. It's nothing." He then walked off without saying another word. I started to feel guilty for reason I wasn't even sure of.
"So now we just need someone to take the bags up." Erza said as she gazed at Gray and Gajeel with an evil look. It was clear that they had no choice but to comply.
After we went sightseeing. There so many beautiful places. We took several pictures, visited the largest mall I have ever seen and left with way more bags than we could carry. Gray couldn't even see where he was walking, the boxes were staked too high. In the limo all the bags took up the entire trunk and most of the side of the limo. We were in heavy traffic as the sun started to set.
"Wow, today was so much fun!" I exclaimed. Everyone easily agreed with me even Gray who was deemed as the bag carrier the entire time.
"Yes it was and tomorrow we are going to visit Gajeel's villa on Maui island. There is a wonderful beach there." Mirajane explained. I couldn't wait to see it.
It was the next morning as we stood outside Gajeel's villa. It was gorgeous with palm trees everywhere and the backyard was the beach! I have never seen a house like this before. Gajeel walked a few feet ahead of us and stopped us before we got to the door.
"Hey, I'm apologizing in advance." I think this was the first time I have ever heard him apologize. But why was he?
"Is there something wrong with coming to the villa?" Natsu asked. Gajeel nodded.
"Why what's wrong Gajeel?" Levy asked taking a step forward. Suddenly the door to the villa opened to reveal a girl around our age with blue hair just slightly darker that Levy's with deep blue eyes. Everything about this girl was blue. From her hair down to her clothes and shoes.
"I'm sorry, please forgive brother Gajeel. It is not his fault." The girl said. I never knew he had a sister. "It was mine. I was being selfish." She stepped forward as tears sprung from her eyes and she came closer. She was surrounded in a sparkly blue aura as she came closer. Very dramatic.
"Who is she Gajeel?" Levy asked, eyeing the girl up and down. You could tell that Levy didn't like the idea of Gajeel being around another girl. So in other words, she was jealous.
"She is the daughter of the client I told you about. Her name is Juvia Lockser." he explained.
"Lockser?" I said mostly to myself. Her eyes landed on Gray as they changed to the form of hearts. After that her eyes landed on me and narrowed. I felt a chill run over me as she glared. Suddenly her attitude changed once more.
"Thank you so much, I couldn't be happier! I was told that you will fulfill my wishes. You will become my family for the next two days right?" She clapped her hands in front of her as she mostly looked towards Gray. It was clear that she had taken a liking to him but she avoided looking at me after that.
"So Gajeel, we came all this way just to play house?" Gray asked. He thought that he had said it low enough for the girl not to hear but apparently she did because she dropped to her knee's and lowered her head in shame.
"Your right, I'm sorry. I am actually a burden on my family too. People don't really accept me. I guess the best way to word want I am saying is, I'm sorry that I was born." Juvia said and now everyone felt bad.
"Hey you! You should never apologize for being born! Everyone has a reason for living!" I shouted towards her.
"You really think so?" She smiled at me and I felt relieved. I don't like it when people look down on themselves.
"Yes! Of course!" I replied. "We shall become your warm and loving family."
"Okay then. I shall announce the family composition." She said as a gleam came to her eyes and a shadow formed across her face. "First Gajeel will be my big brother. This girl here with the blue hair will be the grandmother." She stated.
"Her name is Levy." Gajeel stated angrily.
"This man here with the raven hair shall be my uncle." She smiled at Gray as she looked towards him with hearts in her eyes. But she shook her head quickly and returned to what she was doing. It looked like she had some plan. "Brother Natsu shall be my father."
"Natsu you know her?" I asked. He nodded as Gajeel stepped forward.
"Should we tell them who she is?" Gajeel asked Natsu who shook his head.
"No, I don't think it's necessary."
"And my mother, the one who is married to my father shall be..." she glared at me as Natsu's head shot in my direction too. His eyes held something in them that I just couldn't place. I have seen that look more than once. "The red head over there!" Juvia shouted pointing at Erza.
"What!" Erza and Natsu shouted.
"That's a couple that is destined for divorce." Levy said. The tension rose and you could literally see sparks flying between those two.
"The white haired woman over there shall be my sister and for the final person." She walked towards me and stood a foot away. She looked at me for a long minute as I wondered what she was going to name me as. "You shall be the dog." She threw a head band with dog ears onto my head as my eyes widened.
"A dog!" I shouted in shock. This girl really wanted me to play the dog?
Afterwards we joined Gajeel in his villa in the living room. We were all sitting down talking.
"I'm sorry." Twice in one day Gajeel apologized. Must be a record. "Her parents are big clients of my fathers company and they asked if I could hang out with their daughter. They thought that she would like the idea of having seven friends to hang out with while she was here." He explained.
"It's fine Gajeel. We understand." Levy said, resting her hand gently on his shoulder.
"I agree." Mirajane added.
"I guess I'll do it since you never really ask for anything from us." Gray stated.
"Yeah, there isn't much of a choice." Erza said clearly annoyed. Her eyes were shut as her foot tapped the floor steadily.
"I don't mind." Natsu said. "What about you...dog?" Natsu smirked.
"I will not abandon something that I started!" I announced in defiance. First he would call me miss rank two now it's dog. Can this get any better?
"Thanks," Gajeel grumbled.
"What a good girl. Such a good doggy." Natsu said as he started to pet my head. Since he was calling me a dog, might as well act like one so I growled at him in return and tried to bite him.
For dinner there was a beautiful assortment of food scattered all along the large dinning table. It had elegant plates, silverware, napkins and a beautiful table cloth laying on it. As we walked into the room I noticed that there were not enough chairs. There was one missing. I looked around to see if I could find an extra one when I notice a dog bowl sitting on the floor, several feet away with food placed in it. It had a few things of everything on the table thrown into it messily, and all mixed together. Like it was table scraps. This was not going to be fun.
