Last Time...
"Alright Alright guys. One at a time. I' sure to take care of her and not cause harm. Also, no we have not come far Cana. And Mira I made up my mind. I'm gana give it my best shot to win her over. Even if I fail."
"Eeeeeee!" Mira squeals in excitement.
"I'm proud of you Gray. Your becoming a man." Erza patted him on the back.
"Was I not a man to begin with?"
"No." Everyone started laughing.
"Whatever." Lucy had came out of the bathroom.
"Alright Gray let's go."
"Cool. Goodbye everyone. See you later."
"Bye everyone! I'll miss you!" Everyone said bye to the leaving couple.
Everyone thought in unision. Goodluck Gray.
With Gray and Lucy
It has been about half an hour since they both left the guild. They were just about done with collecting all the supplies they needed fir their trip back to the grassy mountains.
"You think we have everything Lucy?"
"Yea I think so. We have enough food and water for the four of us. Our cloths we can get from our homes. There's no point in buying new ones." Suddenly something caught Lucy's eye. It was a beautiful royal blue dress that hugged every curve of your body but was stretchy enough to move in. It folded below the shoulders which gave it a nice classy look. It was simple, yet eye catching.
"What you looking at Lucy?" She turned her gaze away from the display window.
"Oh nothing just looking. We should get going before it gets late." They continued walking. Gray had dropped Lucy off.
"So we planned to meet Luna and her son around 9:00 a.m. at the train station."
"Alright. I'll set up my alarm clock. Goodnight Gray."
"Oh wait Lucy..."
"Yea."
"Is..is it okay...for me to give you..a hug?" He was blushing beat red. Lucy was just giggling from how nervouse he was being.
"Of course!" She wrapped her arms around his torso and gave him a comforting hug. He took a wif of her hair while hu hugged her in return. She smelled of vanilla and strawberries. He didn't want them to part, but sadly they did.
"See you Gray!" She went inside her home and shut the door.
"See you Lucy.." He continued his journey home to rest and dream about the blonde.
Lucy decided to take a shower write a letter to her mother before going to bed. It had been a while, but because of the drama that has been keeping her mind preoccupied. After her nice warm, relaxing shower she grabbed a pencil and paper and started to write.
Dear Mom,
How are you doing? Sorry I haven't written in a while. I've been busy with a few situations. Nothing I can't handle, but its been emotiinaly draining. Most of them regard of Natsu. I talked about him last time even I mentioned I started dating him. Right now we separated for a while. It doesn't mean I don't love him anymore. I still do. He will always be my best friend and nakama, but recent events are convincing me that we may not be right for each other in a romantic relationship. I thought our love is strong enough to make it through any obstacle, but right now it still hurts. I need time to think. I might be being selfish, but its best if we fworked things out before it got worse.
Its not all bad though. My friends are helping me through these tough times like Mira, Erza, Levy-chan, and Gray! Gray is helping me the most. He's there for when I need someone to talk to, to give me advice, and whenever I need a big hug. I don't know what I would do without him. There's some stuff going on with him but I'll mention it for another day. I love you mom. Take care.
Love,
Lucy.
She put the letter inside the envelope and sealed it like the rest. She put it inside a box where hundreds of other letters where placed. She stretched her arms up high and made her way over to her bed. She laid there below her cushions thinking about life and solutions to her problems. She then took notice that Natsu didn't call her through the lacrima today. She guessed he might of took the hint of not eanting tot all to him for a while. Why was he acting that way? He shouldn't be angry about hanging out with my nakama. I don't get overly angry she never he goes on a mission with another guild mate. Especially if its female. Does he not trust me? She didn't like that fact that he didn't trust her. She has always been loyal to him because they where together. I guess it didn't matter now since they aren't exactly together right now. Maybe that's what got him on edge. She decided she did enough thinking for one night.
Next Morning At The Guild
"So today's the day Gray and Lucy go on the trip." Mira was getting ready to start her day.
"*hic yea. I wonder if hell make a move on her hehe." Cana was just drinking a barrel of booze like always and reading her cards to predict any future events.
"Are you cards telling you anything of what the future holds for Lucy."
"Well it does say they she will have a happy ending and she still has strong feeling towards her current partner. But it seems that another has a chance if he plays his cards right. Her feelings are wavering, but it could still be either one of them. They will have some bumpy roads ahead of them which could threaten their friendship, but we know its strong enough to survive."
"That's good to hear. Its better if everyone ends up happy in the end."
"Hear hear Mira."
At Lucy's
Knock knock
"Lucy! Are you done yet!? Its 8:50 and where going to be later if you don't hurry up." Gray was waiting for Lucy for about 15 minutes. This girl takes forever. Its not like we are going on a date...yet.. He smirked at his thought. It still hasn't time for that action.
"I'm coming!" She hurried humerself down the stairs and outside." Sorry! I overslept a bit and needed to get my stuff together, but I'm ready. Let's hurry and meet uo with Luna."
"Alright let's go!" They both started to run towards the train station. As they started to arrive they still didn't see Luna in sight.
"Guess shes not here yet."
"Yea. Probably is going to take her while since she is bringing her and her son's supplies."
"Gray! Lucy!" They heard a faint Voice coming from the other side of the tracks. They saw Luna holding on to a little boy's hand. They where waiting to safely cross the tracks to the other side. They had had crossed just in time before another train was passing.
"Sorry if I kept both of you waiting. I needed to get both of out things together." She bowed apologetically.
"Oh no. We just got here ourselves. No need to worry. So is this your son?"
"Oh yes. I'm sorry. Let me introduce you to my son, Toni. Say hello sweetie."
"H..hello. Its nice to meet you." He scooted behind his mother slowly.
"I'm sorry. He's every shy around new people. He starts talking more once you are him longer." Lucy just smiled at the young boy. He was every adorable. He looked like his mother in terms of brown hair and green eyes. He look about seven tears old.
"Hi Toni! Its nice to meet you. I'm Lucy."
"I'm Gray. We where looking forward to meeting you." He gave a grin. Toni still stayed silent. Still afraid to speak.
"Hey Toni what do you like?" Toni's attention was caught by Gray's question.
"I..like animals."
"Which one is your favorite." Lucy was frying to see where he was going with this.
"I like...pandas." Toni was a little embarrassed by his answer. He thought it was more normal if boys answered with an animal that was more tough or big.
"Cool! I love pandas too. They are really cute." Toni was surprised to find a grown man liking pandas like him. Before his eyes Gray had used his ice magic to make a small ice panda bear.
"Here you go. It will last you for about a week. Its not too cold for your fingures to go numb." Toni smiled by the panda that was in his hands.
"Thank you. I love it."
"Its so adorable. Thank you Gray." Luna 's heart melted to see his son smile so quickly at a stranger. Lucy smiled with a tint of blush by Gray's actions. Gray is such a sweet heart. He will be a great father.
"Oh the train is coming everyone. Toni get your things ready."
"Okay mommy."
"You ready yo go Lucy?"
"As ready as I'll ever be."
They all entered the train and took their seats in one cabin. It will take about 4 hours to reach their destination.
With Natsu And Gajeel
After trying to Wake up the dark mage Natsu knocked out, it want hard for them to make him spill some information. The mage didn't want to relive the brutal beating Natsu had given him. It is said that the dark guild he was a part of where the dark dragons. He said they considered themselves like dragons that had no heart and could kill without any tinge of regret. They believed that all dragons where born to destroy and kill. Of course Natsu and Gajeel where not going to stand for it. They where both dragon slayers, both raised by dragons that had the kindest hearts. They didn't want their parents be known for false facts.
"Where is your guild located?"
"We..we don't stay in one area for long periods of time. We move throughout our different locations we have hidden."
"Where are all your locations located? Its hard to say without a map. Also, I don't know all of them. I'm barley a new member that joined a couple of months ago."
"Alright then. We gotta take you to the magic council and have them make you point to where the locations are. Let's go salamander."
"Alright."
They tied the dark mage up and carried him to the magic council. They had no idea they where being watched by a few other members of Dark Dragons.
"This is going to be a problem. Don't you agree Shou?"
"Nothing we can't handle Mari. Well just ask master if we can handle this ourselves. Well probably get recognition for this later."
"Your right. Let us inform him." They where off to their secret location.
"Oi Salamander. Did you hear that?"
"Yup. I could smell them too. They sent good at hiding."
"Should one of us follow them?"
"Na. Well meet them soon enough. We still gotta take this guy to the magic council."
"Wow. Can't believe your taking this job seriously and carefully gihi."
"Have too. So then I can see Lucy again faster."
On The Train
Luna and Toni had fallen asleep around the second hour of the train ride. Lucy was also asleep and laying on Gray's lap. He gently stoked her hair. He gazed at her as she sleeped. He never gets tired of it. He just keeps thinking of how amazing it would be to be with her, hug her constantly. Being able to to call her his, kiss her, etc. He was desperately in love with the celestial mage.
Luna came to and wioed her eyes to see Gray staring at Lucy with loving eyes. She smiled at how caring he looked.
"Didn't you say you guys werent a couple?" Gray jumped at her sudden spoken voice.
"Oh you scared me. And yea we aren't together."
"But you have feelings for her?"
"Its pretty obvious already. Yea I am in love with her."
"Why have you not claimed her."
"Well like how I told your grandmother, she belongs to another."
"Oh I'm sorry. That must be tough."
"Yea, but they have been having issues. They had separated for a while. I barley decided to take the chance to win her heart. I want to follow my feelings and act upon them. I want to prove to her that I can make her happy. That's all I want for her. I want her to be happy. Wheather it be with me, him or with no one."
"That's the sweetest thing I ever heard. I wish you luck and even though I no nothing of the other, I still wish him happiness. You all deserve to be happy."
"Thank you."
I just hope she gives me a chance to prove it.
