Lucy just walked through the doors of Fairy Tail hall Smiling warmly at everyone but in the back of her mind she was trying to look for a certain group. She made her way towards the Bar area where Mirajane is usually found but when she couldn't find the older Woman, Lucy frowned and felt like she was on her own in finding Team Natsu.

The blonde haired beauty walked upto the S-class Area which was upstairs and stood on the balcony eyeing everyone from above. "Oi! Blondie! What are you doing here? This area is only for the S-class Mage." Lucy felt a sudden chill run up through her spine when she heard the regal voice behind her so she turned aroud nervously and smiled sweetly.

"Konnichiwa! Laxus!" She bowed down like Virgo in front of Laxus but when he didn't budge she started blabbering. "I am sorry! I just wanted to Find Team Natsu! But when I couldn't find them I thought Looking at the hall from the balcony area would help! I am-" She heard a roaring laughter which made her go meh?

There in front of her Laxus started laughing like crazy as he thought her antics were really very interesting. He grinned at her and said it was okay. Lucy couldn't believe the way Laxus had changed in months, He was more laid back and fun now. He was just teasing her! Oh My God! Laxus of all was trying to play a prank. She crossed her hands over her chest and pouted as he continued to laugh but then he stopped chuckling a little in the end.

"Come with me. I will show you where they are." Lucy smiled. Finally! He wrapped his right hand over her shoulder taking her down to a secret place in the S-class hall which Lucy never thought was there. He told her many things about the place as he led her through a small door where she heard some familiar voices.

"This is my Que. You are on your own now Blondie." Lucy smiled warmly at the tall Lightening slayer and hugged him thankingly. Laxus ruffled her hair and accepted her gratitude and left the corridor smoothly. She opened the Oak door and saw some faces she was dieing to see.

"You Three!? Seriously got Wanted posters Printed!? Are you out of your Mind!?" There in the middle of the room Erza was in her Heaven Wheels Armor butchering Gray, Gajeel and Natsu while Lisanna, Mirajane and Levy sat in the corner with Wendy looking at the three feeling sorry for them yet they knew Erza was right in this. Juvia just stood there crying for Gray-sama.

"Erza!" They all stopped doing their thing and stared at the door. The group of 9 people saw a happy blonde haired girl came crashing down on the Red head hugging the life out of the girl. She quickly changed into her normal clothes and hugged lucy back smiling. "Thankyou! So much guys! I love you all a lot!" At this Many of them flushed and some grinned like crazy but they were unaware about the coming storm.

She straightened up and lucy kicked Gray, Gajeel and Natsu on the face.

"What the hell! Bunny Girl!?"

"Luce! What was that for!?"

"That was really very painful Lucy!"

"You 3 idiots got Sting's Wanted posters printed!?" Everyone became silent and no one uttered a word after that. They had many questions as to She wasn't coming back for another week and how did she get to know about their plan!? She took a chair and became all princess like just the way Her maids taught her to be when some honorable guests came to visit her father.

"I found Sting. He is with me." Now it was their time to scream out a 'WHAT?'

"Yeah. Its a long story." Mirajane caught Lucy by the shoulder and said hurriedly. "We have time to know!" Obviously, trying to find some evidence for match-making. Lucy sighed and said, "Come home..I will tell you."

They all nodded but then Natsu started becoming all Clingy on Lucy because of seeing her after so many days. "It was their fault! I told them not to lie to you!" Lucy just patted his shoulders and said, "I know you are the first one to come up with a reckless Idea and don't worry I haven't forgotten your Brocolli chicken."

"Where is He?" Gajeel asked for the tenth time and obviously got ignored by Lucy all the ten times. She was walking ahead with Levy and Mirajane trying to find some Angle in her little story of how she found Sting while Erza walked behind them with Wendy, Lisanna and Juvia smiling contently that they won't have to go to bars and Listen to Mirajane's Disastrous Idea's Anymore. Gray and Natsu were commenting in between from the sides as they walked down the lake where boatsmen sailed smoothly.

"So, He saved me and I told him to Stay with me." She heard Mirajane and Levy Giggling at this. "Staying with you? Ara Ara Lucy!" Lisanna cooed and Erza just blushed while Wendy and Juvia smiled and the other one rejoiced. Natsu frowned and Gray just 'tsk'ed while Gajeel just felt that Levy was not safe in Mirajane's company. "Luce!? did he do something with you!?" At this Lucy blushed and kind of stuttered. "N-No! Not at all! He is very nice to me!" If you can Minus His Kiss from last night and talking back then He was very Obedient Lucy thought to Herself.

"So where is he Sleeping?" Wendy asked from behind that made Everyone stop on their track. Lucy laughed Nervously at that question. "Obviously in my room." but then when she saw some teasing looks she rephrased the line and continued walking, "I mean! He is sleeping in the room and I am sleeping on the SOFA!" Natsu looked at the flushing girl in disbelief.

Lucy was very peculiar about sharing her bed, She always kicked those whoever wanted to sleep on her favorite pink comforter Bed but she allowed the Light slayer to sleep there? She was changing. He just whistled with his hands behind his head and walked alongside Gray who was also busy musing about the things Lucy was talking about. "Okay, Here we are but don't start asking him questions..And please don't make him feel uncomfortable." Levy whispered something into Erza's ears about someone being too caring about a blonde haired guy which didn't go unheard by most of the people including Lucy who just flustered opened the door to her apartment and everyone automatically made themselves feel like home.

"Sting!" Lucy called out to him thinking he must be feeding himself in the kitchen because he didn't open the door and has been inside since Last night. So she left him a note on the refrigerator and left for the guild. When she didn't hear his cocky voice back she grew tensed and knocked on the door but still when no reply came she tried opening the door and much to her surprise it was already unlocked. Lucy tip-toed into the room thinking he must be in the Shower but when she saw the shower empty her heart started beating faster.

"What happened Lucy?" Erza enquired as she felt like something was wrong with the celestial mage who just stood there in the middle of the room thinking where the hell He could go? "I can't Find Sting.." Gajeel snorted and said, "You were lying to us bunny girl?" At which Mirajane glared at the iron dragon slayer and went to comfort her favorite Blonde. "Don't worry Lucy! He must have gone out to take a walk." Lucy had her palms hiding her Face, She shook her head and answered, "He doesn't go out to walk.. Its not his thing." Juvia looked around the room while Natsu did the same but the only difference was that he was smelling the room trying to figure out a spot where Sting's Scent was the most. He stopped at the dressing table and looked at an ear piece. Lucy stood up and started crying, "He will not come back.. He left again to drown in alcohol! I am sure." Levy and Lisanna felt sorry for their friend and started consoling her while Erza felt like piercing Sting's Head with an arrow.

"He will come back Luce." Lucy looked through her hair at the smiling dragon slayer who tossed the diamond shaped ear piece in the air to show it to everyone and then handed it over to the girl who just waited patiently for a theory that would support his statement. "He left this to let you know that he will be back." Wendy looked down at her feet and thought about what Natsu was saying. "Like My Scarf. His precious thing is his Ear Piece. So stop crying Weirdo!" Carla who had been silent till now patted Wendy's shoulder. "Its okay, You have me that reminds you of Grandine." Wendy stared at the Neko and then suddenly cracked a smile nodding.

Meanwhile Levy thought about the scarf and Ear piece theory and then looked at Gajeel who just stood in the corner looking at Natsu boringly but then Gajeel shifted his attention to the blue haired short girl with his blood red eyes and smirked. "Its my Piercings Shortie." She blushed a deep shade of red thinking about how can it be? I mean he had peircing all over his body. The black haired slayer's smirk widened as if he read her mind and winked at Levy beofre turning his attention back to the Salmon haired teenager while Levy stood there evaporating.

"So he will come back?"

"He will."

Silence held the atmosphere after that but then Natsu thought of breaking it.

"Don't tell me Luce, you are falling in love with Sting." Lucy narrowed her eyes and blushed slightly, "No way! I am just concerned!"

"Is that all?"

Lucy felt her volcano burst. "That's it! No food for you! rest of you follow me, I will serve you food."

"I am sorry Luce! Luce! LUCE!"

"You shouldn't have asked that question Natsu. she is still in denial mode, More like confusion mode." Lucy saw Gray consoling His frenemy and her face turned into a creepy expression. "You two are not getting any food!"

And then she shut the room fuming with the two of them screaming apologies from the other side. She looked at juvia and said, "I am sorry Juvia for Doing this to your Gray-sama but he also needed it and you too Lisanna." Lisanna just smiled still feeling sorry for her Naive boyfriend and his loud mouth. On the other hand, Juvia shook her head saying it was okay and thought in her mind, This way Gray-sama will get to know that Lucy-san doesn't like Gray-sama and Gray-sama will come to juvia. Her eyes sparkled by the far fledged thought.

"Yukino?" Rogue called her name out for the fifth time today but to no avail. She was nowhere to be found and even Frosch was missing which he wanted to believe that they both were together. He got fed up and searched for her keys if they were not in her bag then it just meant she was safe and would be able to protect herself from the bandits that surrounded the area. He opened the bag and saw her Keys. He took a long breathe and thought about extreme things like getting caught by dangerous people. He hurried out of the inn and started following her scent.

Her scent was a combined form of Cinnamon and Vanilla.

"Rogue-san? Why are you running around?" He was already out in the open trying to catch her scent in some particular direction but as soon as he came next to the shops he halted and heard her voice. Turning around the black haired Teen saw the girl with Four to Five Shopping bags along with Forsch sitting on her shoulder smiling brightly at his Best friend. "Rogue-san look out of place? Is Rogue-san Okay Yuki-chan?" Rogue sighed and hugged the girl tightly. He has never felt this scared ever in his life, He knows how much dependent Holder-type Mages are on their Magical things As Lucy always told him this. So it really got him twisted up from inside.

"You shouldn't leave the Inn without telling me!" Rogue lost his temper and started scolding the two of them hard. "We are here on a mission to kill 20 underground Bandits! they would have killed you knowing that you are ungaurded!" Yukino was on the verge of crying as well as Frosch. They both stood in front of the fuming teenager looking down. Rogue saw how the white haired Mage trembled a little at his use of loud voice to make understand things so he calmed down and put on his poker face again. "Atleast, keep your keys before going out if you don't find me."

Yukino Nodded and the three of them started walking back to the inn quitely but this time Yukino didn't try to have a conversation, Rogue found it intriguing in many ways. If he had scolded Lucy she would have scolded him back saying she can take care of herself and is not weak to always rely on her spirits but Yukino just nodded and agreed to Rogue's conditions. He looked at her sad figure walking next to him and suddenly his mind filled with pictures of Lucy walking next to Sting with an Angry expression on. Sting was the only one who always got Lucy worked up and Angry. She was never sad.

For the First Time, He felt like Yukino Was Different than Lucy. That she was not just someone who reminded him of her but she also had qualities that made him see the real her and not just as someone's reflection. "Rogue-san? Are you Angry on me?" Rogue was obviously taken aback by Yukino's question but he shook his head telling her that he wasn't. From the corner of his eyes, He saw her breath in relieved and he couldn't help but smile to himself. Yukino was so Innocent and Child like. "By the way Rogue-san I brought you something!" He could sense that her sad Aura was replaced by the Happy Go Lucky one again.

She handed him a small present which he accepted after many denials. After coming back to the inn, He opened it when Frosch literally started crying to convince him to open the present. He saw a Bandana and quirked his eyes, There was a small letter next to it as Yukino was taking a bath so he took it out and started reading it.

I know Bandana isn't Rogue-san's Style but this is to keep your hair from falling on your eyes. It will make people see your expressions clearly and also make them understand that you are not as cold and mean you look like. :) the real Rogue-san is hiding behind his bangs! :)

Rogue closed the letter and placed it in his pocket before turning his attention to the black coloured Bandana that is used to keep the Hair from falling on the Face. He touched the small soft piece of cloth and wrapped it around his Forehead a little higher to keep the bangs away. He looked cute instead of Mean and hardcore. Somehow He could see himself pouting for being so obvious now. His face was now more clear to look at with the bangs held up with the Bandana. "Rogue-san looks so Cute!" Frosch yelled out at which Rogue flushed and NOW his expressions were clear for everyone to see.

"Rogue-san looks so cute flushed!" Forsch said while clicking his tongue. Yukino came out of the shower with a top and leggings on and blushed looking at the New Rogue cheney. The Item of attention turned his attnetion towards the blushing girl and smiled thankingly at which she blushed more and stuttered, "N-no Problem Rogue-san!"

Now that the Bangs were away from his eyes, He could see the Yukino Agria instead of Lucy's reflection.
