(I understand I'll try to tone down the personalities. I don't know how I will but I'll try. :) So I changed this chapter.
''Uh yeah work it, work it girl fierce!'' Lucy encouraged herself strutting through the living room, Natsu and Jude laughed in their separate snack piles.
It was a Sunday night before Natsu & Lucy were scheduled to return to work in the morning yet they couldn't be any louder.
''I forgive you, I thought you were trying to come into my life and take it over..where you left off.'' she sobbed.
''This right here is this years next top model!'' Jude yelled in an announcers voice. ''Ooh me next.'' Natsu said excitedly from his salty snack pile.
He ran hurriedly behind the Chinese changing wall to dress in one of his pre-prepared outfits. Lucy sat besides her Father and leaned on his arm.
''No I didn't come here to change your life, I just regretted my actions so I came for forgiveness..so you can let this selfish old man go.''
''I wont I need you, that's why I hated you so much for leaving me.'' she choked.
''Natsu we can see your outline.'' Jude said calmly Lucy's head buried into his shoulder, the father-daughter duo burst into laughter, cause Natsu replied with a high pitched girly shriek.
He was too shy to come out now, but after he stepped out from behind the wall he was met with more laughter..he was dressed from head to toe as Mario. ''Its a me Natsu-Shi.'' he said, Jude walked away from the mess and Lucy responded with a childlike squeal.
''Baby girl, I just want you to be happy.''
''Father can't you see I am happy like this.''
Jude walked back into the living room wearing a Luigi outfit, after that Lucy could breathe no more she was laughing so hard.
they say laughter is the best medicine but they had this doctor dying.
'Ding Dong' the doorbell interrupted the fun of Jude walking back and forth as a graying model.
'Ding Dong'
''I'm coming just a second.'' Lucy said still laughing hard she slipped over Natsu's snack pile, she got up sticking her tongue out at him.
She opened the door still giggling. ''Hello-'' Natsu was in front of her with a sad look on his face. ''Wake up Lucy.''
Lucy woke up from her dream with a dazed look on her face, a dream where she made peace with her father..just a dream. ''Lucy I have something for you.'' Natsu said patting her with his one good hand. she looked at him with a sad look why was he sad in her dream? ''Come on it's not something mean again.'' he said hoisting her out of the bed and dragging her through the corridors that right now looked bleak in her sight.
''Ta da! look Lucy.'' Natsu calling her out of her raging thoughts, she clasped her hands over her mouth.
''A puppy.'' she tried her hardest to whisper because the snow like dog was resting in a doggies bed.
Natsu smiled at her solemnly he accepted her hugs but he wasn't listening to her words. ''Luce we gotta go to work, so lets get ready.''
''M'Kay.'' she said pouring food and water into the bowls by the dog bed, waking the always shivering puppy up.
''What's its name?'' she asked Natsu.''Hm you name him, Luce he is for you.'' ''I'll name him Plue.'' she said enchanted by his white fur.
Natsu accepted the name as perfect immediately. ''Okay we gotta go.'' Lucy declared though she really wanted to stay and watch the dog.
she pulled two lunches out of the refrigerator and ran to have a shower.
Natsu was sitting on the couch with a faraway look, ''You can still come to work Natsu.'' Lucy said urging him to come with her.
he didn't even have to work so long as he was there.
she shot a look at him while leaving the house/apartment. ''Have fun with my dad!'' she yelled driving off.
it took Natsu a minute to realize Lucy had called Jude 'dad' it was Jude's day off as well and Natsu would probably have to go somewhere with him.
he was right. ''Natsu.'' he heard Jude's voice gruffly call his name. ''I need to talk to you, so why don't we head out a little later.''
Natsu was already sweating like he did when he was using some form of transportation.
he didn't reply but he guessed he didn't really need to, he was going out with her father whether he liked it or not.
The frosty autumn air whisked through the streets of Hargeon town, the two men walked on without a word to each other.
Natsu was sure Jude take his car because he wanted exercise, he was fine with that but the elder walked slower than the master.
Natsu just wanted to pick him up and carry him but that would be like trying to carry the Grim reaper on your shoulders,
Jude walked off in another direction, Natsu didn't notice because he was being charmed by the streets that always left his already warm soul even warmer. He looked around when he no longer heard snail like footsteps behind him.
''Oh my gosh, I lost him! Luce is going to murder me.'' he thought aloud earning looks from the walking people his face blank when he said it,
then it sunk in and he broke out into a fast run sniffing the air as he went.
smelling the air for marshmallows and cinnamon buns wasn't so easy on this cold day, but that's the scent Jude gave off. Natsu closed his eyes retracing his steps until he came to an old looking restaurant named Porlyusica's after the owner. Natsu waltzed inside smelling Italian dishes and many different and fine cuisines.
He didn't need to sniff around because Jude was in full view kicking his legs at a table, Natsu stomped up and calmly sat across from him, trying hard to maintain his sanity, because oddly Jude was just like Lucy in some aspects of going wherever he pleased when he pleased.
He didn't have to ask him why he was here, he just said in his lazy tone. ''I was hungry.'' Natsu understood him but he could have at least said something. ''What do you want to eat?'' he asked forgiving him with a sigh.
''I dunno.'' Jude said watching other customers eat. Natsu mumbled under his breath something about how everyone is this family was a child. ''He'll have something tasty and also healthy..maybe like this.'' he said pointing at the tastiest looking item on the menu Taiwanese stir fry.
after spending time with Jude, Natsu realized he was the type to say what he wanted..when he wanted.
it was an awful awkward day, Jude had to feed Natsu who know how many pounds of food, since his right hand was hurt and he seemed to always be hungry. Natsu could've enjoyed the food if Jude didn't look him in the eye with a sour face, Like he had eaten concentrated citric acid.
Natsu was back in his head thinking about what Lucy might be doing right now when he stepped out of the restaurant, she was a haven for an always happy guy. Jude learned two things about Natsu in one sitting: He was loud, and he ate mountains of food.
Natsu also learned two things about Jude: He was very quiet, and he half the time had a sour face. Kind of like Lucy in her three years after Jude left but Natsu always stuck by her so walking around with Jude should be easy right? ''I am tired now.'' Jude announced randomly. Natsu didn't know what to say to him, he was just that strange to him.
''I'm gonna sleep on the grass.'' he said hurrying off to find his resting place. Natsu walked briskly after Jude hoping he wouldn't lay down in a random spot and call attention..he did right smack in the middle of a playground.
''He is not hurt, he is just resting.'' Natsu reassured parents and curious children. ''Is that your father?'' a small child asked. ''No he is my father-in-law.'' Natsu answered with out thinking, his face flushed at the thought, he looked down at Jude on the ground and he was met with the sour face. Natsu giggled slightly and flopped down next to Jude.
''You both are so weird.'' a pink headed girl called. ''Nah we're just two out of three of a kind.'' Natsu replied rolling closer to Jude who rolled further away. he was referring to Lucy as being this weird. ''He doesn't seem to like you that much.'' a kid called. Natsu sighed he was never going to get any sleep like this. ''What are you kids doing in the park so early?'' ''We're on a tight schedule.'' the loudest brunette replied. Jude only smiled to himself at Natsu's endless debate with children who talked about randomness like. ''What if elephants used to drive cars?'' and '' I bet Dracula liked garlic soup and people just got it all wrong.''
Lucy could only hear the sound of her shoes, she was flying across the hospital worried. ''It's too early!'' she thought to herself sliding open the light door of the panicking pediatric ward. ''Where is she?'' she asked to crying children. ''she was taken into an operating room.'' Zeref answered.
''How could they take her away I'm her doctor..what if something goes wrong? how could they not inform me.'' Lucy thought as she broke into a run, he memories always clouded her sight when she was worried or sad. she remembered the girl whose freckles were like stars on her beautiful face, a lovely soul behind lovely eyes, long ginger locks that hung framing her cute face.
she had promised this girl everything was going to be alright, and she couldn't believe the ward who had no jurisdiction over this girl would take her from her, they were so desperate to have a surgery that actually went well without intervention from the neighboring wards, that they abducted this girl out of her bed, this was a matter Lucy knew she would have to settle in court and remove Phantom Lord from Magnolia general for good.
I'm sorry as you can tell, I am not that good of a writer,
I was sick that is why I haven't been posting as I type this I am still sick,
That and I don't have my own computer, My oldest sibling 'shares' the internet with me.
But I hope to get better I hope you enjoy this story.
-Peace
