Life Beyond Fairy Tail; Without Natsu
Author's Note is at the bottom of the page...
Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail. Sadly, Hiro Mashima does. It is he, who owns the awesomeness...
Previously on Life Beyond Fairy Tail; Without Natsu:
'She would never do that!'
'He's so funny sometimes.'
"You better get ready. We have a job to do today!"
"I...I'm a... I'm a Dragon Slayer..."
"I'm actually kind of glad that you left Fairy Tail..."
"Me too..."
'I just can't wait for the job to start...'
'Lucy...'
"Don't get me wrong, I still miss them, but it was because of them that I was able to meet you!"
'Lucy...?! She couldn't be here!"
"it's him! He's here... Natsu!"
"This way."
"Who are you?"
' I hope I did the right thing.'
"I mean, doesn't it seem a little off that Lucy would join another guild?"
" I was jealous all these years, so after she told me her story, I killed her!"
"I'll avenger her... I'll kill you. I'll kill you!"
"If only she would think the same about me..."
'Ah! Stop it Lucy! You're team mates, not love birds! Besides, he probably doesn't like you the same way you like him!'
"Ok, let's go."
Now to the story...
(Normal P.O.V.-Lucy's P.O.V.)
Sting and I walked to the local amusement park, talking in a friendly manner like we usually did. I lightly punched him in the arm, which shoved him to the other side of the street.
"Oh, shut up bastard!" I shouted. Sting stood, wobbling just a bit, then charged back at me. Sting punched my arm. I yelped and tripped, falling on my knees.
"Lucy, go home. You're drunk." he joked at the way I was swinging around, trying to regain my balance. I finally regained it and glared at him.
"Whirlwind of the Ice Dragon." I whispered, turning a finger. I smirked as Sting gave me a confused look. He yelped in surprise as a cold breeze frosted the ground and swept him into the air. The col air breezed around him and I could see him shivering. I finally dispersed the spell and Sting crashed to the ground in a frozen heap. I giggled and put my hands on my hips.
"Now we're even!" I said, smiling like an idiot. I walked over to where Sting was an stuck out a hand. He looked up with a slightly pale face, then grasped my hand. He gasped softly when he realized how cold my touch was. I hoisted him up and he began to shiver again.
"You-You're cold!" he whined with clattering teeth. I nodded.
"Ever since I learned Winter Dragon Slayer Magic, I've been cold both mentally and physically. Surely that seemed obvious?" I teased, giving him and extra light punch. He let go of my hand, after I realized we were still latched to each other. I could feel my cheeks turning a slight shade of pink, as Sting looked around. He pointed down an alleyway, to where a huge Feriswheel stood in the background.
"There's the park." he said. "Race you there!"
Had he just challenged me to a race? He had no idea how fast I could run, could he? I smiled and shook my head, and ran after him. I started to catch up to him easily.
"Winter Floor!" I shouted, a cool breeze escaping my hands, the cobblestone road streaming with a sheet of blue ice and skin white snow. Sting yelped as he felt the ground slip from under him. I laughed as I passed him, his yellow hair completely covered in silver snow. I could hear a faint growl escape his lips as he got up and ran again.
"White Wind!" Sting shouted behind me. A blow of blindingly white air crashed into my body as I was swept into the air for a mere three seconds.
"Sting!" I yelled as I hit the ground. He laughed maniacally as he passed me. I got up quickly and winced as I noticed the slight ache in my right arm. I eyed around me looking for a clue of how to stop Sting next.
" Uh... Hmm... Aha! My keys!" I thought. I grabbed one of the Gold keys from my latch.
" Open! Gate of the Horseman! Sagittarius!" I called. A puff of orange smoke appeared from the key as a man in a horse costume popped out, saluting me.
" Moshi Moshi! What can I do for you, as it is?" he asked. I pointed towards the running Sting.
"Aim for his feet, but don't hurt him." I commanded.
"Moshi Moshi! Here I go!" Sagittarius raised his bow and arrows and lined up with Sting's pattering feet. I lined myself up as well, waiting for the moment to run. I heard the stretch of the bow wire and the arrow was left flying through the air. I took that as my cue and ran off after Sting. Arrow after arrow flew past me, hitting the ground where Sting was. He jumped and swerved, small squeaks coming from his mouth on surprise. I finally caught up to him and passed him as another arrow but the ground, making Sting trip and loose his balance. I looked over my shoulder and stuck out my tongue. I smiled and turned my head around again. I grasped Sagittarius' key.
"Forced gate closer." I commanded. The key glowed as Sagitarius was returned to the Spirit Realm. I giggled as I heard Sting's footsteps behind me. This was just the beginning of my healing session.
