Disclaimer - Fairy Tail belongs to Hiro Mashima & all things Pradesh belong to DESNA

A/N - Originally, I wasn't planning on continuing this into chapters so updates might be infrequent while I work on other pieces. This one is just too much fun to let go of though. If you aren't familiar with Desna's Pradesh family and universe, I highly recommend it. I will be using some of her characters without a lot of backstory. Anyhow, enjoy and please review!

Lucy was pretty damn proud of herself when both pairs had actually mated. She was disappointed that there wasn't an actual marking like she had written. Evidently, in reality it was a scent mark that other dragons or slayers would sense. She was watching Levy sit in Gajeels lap feeding him scraps of iron with a dreamy look on her face, wondering if she could talk the script mage into a tattoo.

"I can't believe it actually worked," Mira slid a fresh smoothie to the blonde mage. "You have a real gift and oh, I can't wait for the babies!" Mira sighed dreamily, leaning on the bar. Lucy decided it wasn't worth mentioning that she wouldn't be getting babies from Gray and Natsu. "So… Who do you have in mind next?"

She turned back to the demon bartender with a thoughtful look. "Juvia. She has not gotten over Gray yet and I feel a bit bad about that. Not that her obsession was healthy or anything." Lucy sighed. "I have an idea but it will be a two-parter. Complicated. I will need lots of help."

Mira nodded her head firmly. She loved to see the romance spring up around her and throughout the guild. "Hmmm. A good choice, but who to pair her with? To be honest, she was so stuck on Gray that I didn't even really think about others."

"I've been giving this a lot of thought actually. Juvia has some issues and needs someone with a massive amount of patience. They need to be calm and sincere. Gray was never a good pick for her, she was just excited about how their magics meshed and turned it into a falsely perceived sense of love." Mira nodded again. That made sense. "There are only a few I can think of, but the person I like best is actually… Jellal."

Mira leaned back and tapped her finger on her chin giving this a full consideration. Lucy was very observant of the others and tended to get a real sense of their overall needs and emotions. She had learned to trust her opinion on this. She thought about Jellal and had to agree he was steadfast and calm and a rock that Juvia could lean on. He also had patience in droves. A grin broke across her face, as she breathed out "Blue-haired babies."

Lucy giggled a little. "Yes, definitely blue-haired." She watched as the hearts grew in the bartender's eyes knowing she was shipping them for sure now. "But that leaves a problem to be solved first."

"Erza."

Lucy nodded. Erza and Jellal were an unhealthy couple. The relationship was more about penance than love. But Jellal would never betray Erza even if just in his imagination, so she would have to move on first. She sipped her smoothie slowly and leaned forward with a hushed voice. "I have an idea but it's a long shot."

Mira leaned in close conspiratorially. "Do tell."

Lucy whispered her plans to the barmaid, who had an unusually serious look on her face as she nodded periodically.

"What do you think they are on about?" Natsu asked Gray, looking over at the two girls. Gray ran his fingers through salmon colored hair, still amazed at how soft it really was. How had he never known that until now?

"I don't know, but it does look suspicious. Maybe I should go over-" Gray started.

"You don't want to do that," a voice called out from the corner. "Trust me you don't want to know." Gray shrugged at the poison slayer and went back to playing with Natsu's hair. Seriously, how did he never notice how soft it was?

Back at the bar, Mira pulled out her ledger tracking missions for her and Lucy to look through. "Looks like the Raijinshuu should be done in a day or two. I can come up with a reason to ping Laxus tonight to get an update. I will be right back." Mira ran up to the use the comm in Laxus's office.

"And what do you need the Thunder Legion for?" a sexy voice ghosted across her.

Not even turning she responded, "Don't you have anything better to do with your time than harass me?"

Vander shrugged and sat on the barstool next to the blond. "Not particularly. Kaleb suspended me for a week because of a minor incident with some dignitary's wife. She didn't mention she was married, as if I'm supposed to just know. Anyhow, I'm bored and you didn't answer my question."

Lucy sighed. "I don't need them all, just your brother. I need a favor, and no I won't tell you what."

"Bella, you know I'm more than capable of granting any favors you might need. You don't need Bixy for that." He smirked at her while she groaned in frustration.

"Please, I don't need that kind of help. Either way I certainly don't need your help. Isn't there a damsel in distress that needs rescuing or deflowering or whatever you do?"

He smiled and leaned towards her, breathing into her ear. "I know of at least one princess that needs deflowering. Keep your secret, I will figure out the mystery on my own sweetness." With that he disappeared.

"Is everything okay Lucy?" Mira asked having just returned to the celestial mage in a daze with a shocked look.

"He licked me! That man actually licked me!" Lucy yelled in outrage, rubbing her ear and cursing the shadowquip. Mira smiled and turned back to putting away the cleaned glasses. That was one ship she couldn't share with the blond, but oh how she wanted it to be real.
