Sorry it took me a country minute to get this out. My phone decided to throw a fit and delete like 1000 words. And again, I forgot to look over the whole thing to make sure it was still whole before saving it. I got so upset I couldn't bring myself to go fix it for a few days.

I am proud to announce that I finally own Fairy Tail. Wait... Cobra has informed me that was a dream and I'm an idiot. Hiro Mashima still owns all the awesome.

Lucy was one of the very few people Cana trusted to look in her bet books and not misuse the terrifying things she found there. There were three books. One was for 'Long Game' bets, whether Lucy would stay with the Thunder Legion or return to Team Natsu was in there. There were about even odds on that one and Lucy wasn't allowed to place a bet since betting on her own decision was just unfair. There was another for 'Minute Scrambles' or bets Cana expected to be completed in less than twenty four hours. The number of times Mira was going to faint on any given day was in there.

Then there was the 'Ship' book, which Lucy was currently flipping through. She glanced at the page that showed people actually betting that Laxus and Erza would turn out to be a thing and shuddered. What was wrong with these people? Gerza, Gratsu, NaLu, BixLu, Bixanna, Natsu and Lisanna, Natsu and Levy. She shuddered and thanked Mavis that the Gajeel Redfox and Levy Mcgarden signatures on the Gajevy page rendered the Gajucy page null and void.

Lucy had the book for several related reasons. She and her team had just returned from what amounted to a charity mission to rescue a farmer's daughter from a dark guild. Crime Sorciere had beaten them to the dark guild by mere minutes and watching Laxus and Meredy make hungry eyes at each other inspired her to add another page. Placing jewel on both Laxedy and Bixanna was also her way of telling Cana about herself and Freed. If she caught the subtle hint she would be able to gather in a hefty sum when FreeLu was officially announced. Laxus had gotten a call from Erza that morning and Team Natsu was due back today. Lucy was ready to talk to them and forgive them, but close proximity to Natsu and his big mouth ment bye-bye semi-secret relationship.

"Fifty on Laxedy and fifty on Bixanna." She dropped a handful of money onto the open FreeLu page before she handed the book back to Cana. The brunette stared down at the list of names on this page and grinned. Levy also had access to the books on occasion and Lucy had been placing bets for her team today too. Levy, Gajeel, Pantherlily, Laxus, Evergreen, and Bickslow all had money on this one, along with Wendy and Lucy's loyal spirit Loke.

"Lulu, you little bitch. You better not hold out on me much longer. I want details." Lucy hopped off her barstool and waved as she headed back upstairs.

"All in good time, Cana!" Her grin made Laxus nervous.

"What the fuck did you do this time, Blondie?"

"Why are you always suspicious of me? And I'm not blond, you are." She plopped herself on the couch and tossed her feet into Freed's lap.

"Have you met you?"

"Nope."

"Well imagine a person as crazy as Bix, as bossy as Ever, as smart as Freed, and as good looking as me. You're scary as fuck. It's why people call you Scary Lucy. And no matter what color that crab makes your hair you are blond."

"Mavis, you're an ass."

"To a certain extent Laxus is correct, Miss Lucy. You are a force of nature and any person not assured that you have their best interest at heart is wise to be wary of you. Especially persons who intentionally irritate and annoy you. Mavis only knows what sort of objectionable situations they could find themselves in."

"Why do I feel like you just threatened me, Freed?"

"You are well aware I would never sanction anything that brought you harm, Laxus."

"Doesn't answer my question."

"Aww, come on, Boss. What are they gunna do to you? Start reading again?" *read again, so sexy, please do, read to me.

"Fuck you, Bix!"

"We all know you don't-"

"LUCE!" Instead of looking toward the very familiar shout Laxus, Freed, Bickslow, and Evergreen looked at Lucy. They had talked about this. They all still wanted to pumble her old team and Lucy guessed they we're looking for some sign that she was going to let them do so.

"Be nice guys. I'm up here, Natsu!"

"Lushiiiee!" Happy dove face first into her chest as the other three scrambled up the stairs. "We missed you so much! Please don't hate us anymore!"

"I never hated you, Happy. I was just hurt and upset."

"We're sorry, Luce."

"Yeah, like the idiot said."

"You may strike us for damaging your home."

"And making you fall and break your nose."

"And setting fire to your hair."

"Well, Cancer fixed my hair and Wendy healed my nose and my shoulder, so I will forgive you. This time. Next time I won't protect you from whatever it is Freed wants to do to you." When all four of them looked at Freed he smiled. It wasn't the sunshine while she liked so much. This one was scary.

"Lucy, did Freed remove your shoes?" He usually did if she didn't do it herself, though at the moment both his hands were on his book.

"Yes he did." Erza narrowed her eyed and hummed. "Oh, and another thing. You guys can't sneak into my apartment anymore. I officially moved in with Evergreen and passed my lease to Cana yesterday."

"What! Why, Luce!"

"Because I wanted to. And don't bother trying to sneak in. It's runed up tight and you can only come in if we specifically invite you."

"That is unacceptable! How will we be able to protect you if we can't get to you?"

"If for some reason a threat passed through my runes Miss Lucy is fully capable of protecting herself in most situations. Anything beyond the scope of her considerable abilities will be delt with by us."

"Wait just one fucking minute. You guys can't just steal my sister!"

"We didn't steal her. We adopted her. She's our sister too now."

"Awe! Thanks, Ever!"

"Goes for the rest of us too, Blondie."

"Except Freed. Cuz that would just be wrong." *wrong, not right, ain't no sister feels there. Natsu was audibly sniffing at her.

"Luce, why do you smell like Freed?"

"You know I'm sitting on him, right?"

"That's not what I ment! It's like- like- It's like Freed is inside you, Luce!" The silence in the guild was epic. Epic silence was a new thing around here. Freed and Erza both blushed red. Bickslow and his babies started cackling up a storm.

"Hey, LuLu! We'll get the best odds if you sign this right now!"

"Indubitably." She grinned at Freed's agreement. She hadn't gotten the chance to talk to him about it, but he knew she had been in Cana's books.

"Bring it up here Cana!" Erza was still to flustered to react much, Natsu looked confused of course, Gray, along with most of the guild, watched slack jawed as Cana brought the 'Ship' book up to the second floor and held it open for Lucy and Freed to sign. Freed's hands went to her feet when he was done signing their page. Mira walked up to them with the most dazed look on her face ever. She took the signed book and stared for a long moment.

"Blond-haired, green-eyed FREELU BABIES!" The takeover mage was literally shaking with how excited she was. "Precious, adorable, brilliant, little angels! Or green-haired, brown-eyed cuties! All the little picture books! How did I not imagine all the possibilities!" She collapsed to the ground with a solid thump.

"She was to busy planning a medical impossibility between Freed and the Boss." *boy babies, wasn't happening, babies blindness, bossy nerd babies.

"Shut the fuck up, Bix."

"STOP!" The entire guild froze and looked at Erza. "What is going on? Lucy, you- you are dating Freed? I- This has not been forced upon you has it?"

"Freed has done nothing I did not ask him to do."

"And this... Makes you happy?"
"I am exceedingly pleased with the situation, yes." She could feel Freed's theighs tense under her calves. She loved teasing him like this. There were few people in the guild capable of following their word play. Those that could either didn't care, like Bickslow, or chose to aggressively ignore them, like Levy. Though both of them would occasionally tease them it wasn't in a completely mortifying manner. "Freed is mine and that is way we both want it." His hands seemed to shake a bit when she called him hers.

This was shaping up to be a rather good day. Her old team was handling her being with Freed rather well in her opinion. Now she just needed to find a way to tell them that she was going to be staying with the Thunder Legion. It wasn't that they weren't her friends anymore, because they were. It was just that she was so happy with her current team.

Lucy fluffed her hair and admied her awesomeness one more time. She had been looking forward to tonight's Halloween party since her very first mission with the Thunder Legion. She might not survive this party, but it would be worth it. She adjusted her clothes one more time and walked into the living room.

"Oh My Mavis! Girl you are looking so fine!" Lucy hadn't told anyone, including Freed and Evergreen, what she was wearing. "You really wanna make him suffer, don't you?"

"Actually if I survive I think it will be hilarious. You'll get pictures, right?"

"Absolutely! Let's start right now." Evergreen pulled her down onto the couch. Her costume consisted of a more extravigant, sparkly version of her usual fairy get up. "Say sexy!" She didn't. Instead she crossed her arms over her chest and smirked. "Oh, that's awesome. You trying to stay in character tonight?"

"Yep. In fact... Would you mind if I flirted with Elfman?"

"Depends on who else you are flirting with."

"Freed of course. And now that we are officially together Juvia is cool, so both Gray and Natsu. Alsak and Gajeel, because Bisca and Levy know I'm not stealing their men. Bix will think it's hilarious, and if Jellal took our invite the other day seriously I bet Cobra would play along. Once you get past the poinonous death glares he's a pretty fun guy."

"In that case, yes. You may flirt the socks off my boyfriend. He might freak out and run though. He's really shy that way."

"I'll be gentle. Shall we go?" Lucy offered Ever her arm and the two skipped to the guildhall. Lucy took a deep breath and rolled her shoulders once they got there. Evergreen readied her camera.

Lucy put a bit of magic into her hands to make up for her lack of brute strength when she shoved the door open. They strode across the guild with Evergreen's camera clicking away as jaws dropped and conversations stopped at the sight of Lucy's costume. By the time they reached the bar most of the guild was staring at them.

"Mira! My usual."

"Sure thing, L-" Mira froze as she finally looked at Lucy. "Oh my. How bold. One usual coming right up!"

"Luce?"

"Hiya, hot stuff." Natsu looked beyond confused.

"Damn, Lucy. He just might kill you for this." She gave Gray her most exaggerated lecherous smirk.

"You better put some cloths on, Popsicle, unless you Want me to lick you?" Juvia wasn't the only one that gasped. Gray just grinned and chuckled.

"Yep. He's gunna kill you."

"I'd like to see him try." Really she wouldn't but she was trying to stay in character here.

"Here you are! One usual!" Mira handed her a big wooden mug filled to the brim with strawberry milkshake. Lucy smirked and winked at her, causing her to giggle.

"Lucy's a man!"

"Damn right I am!" That got a few laughs from her braver guild mates, most of those nervous.

"Like living on the edge, don't ya, Tink?"

"Cobra!" She sounded way happier than she ment to. Then she turned and leaned against the bar. "Didn't think you'd actually show up. You gunna let me suck the poison out of you later sexy?" Cobra flashed his sharp teeth at her in a grin and leaned closer.

"You're crazier than me." She just smirked and took her strawberry milkshake toward the stairs, stopping to flirt along the way. Laxus was glaring at her, she was sure of it, but she didn't look at him, because if she did she would chicken out.

She sat down and tossed her combat booted feet up onto the table. This left her bare legs on full display all the way up to her black mini-skirt. The skirt and the purple top she had worn to the GMG, sans cute white bow, had come from her closet. The black boots were new, but she had been planning on getting some for missions anyway. The soundpods were only mostly new, having been purchased with the reward from her first S-class mission. Virgo had made her coat, casting subtle spells on it to make sure it didn't fall off her shoulders. Cancer, bless his heart, had slaved away to get her now long, and thankfully blond again, hair into the crazy mess it now was, along with using makeup for the black swirls on her skin and the raised scar across her right eye that completed her look.

"Lookin good, Boss Lady." *boss lady, super sexy, bad ass babe.

"Shut up, Bix." Bickslow cackled up a storm while Laxus continued to silently glare. The seith mage loved Halloween, and his costumes were always detailed and dramatic. This year he was looking like some sort of werewolf, the actually scary kind. Laxus, on the other hand, had probably been tricked into wearing the black and yellow stripped sweater that made him look a bit like a bumblebee. Meredy was sitting next to him dressed as the cutest pink witch ever and obviously trying not to laugh at the situation.

"Where's Freed?"

"Your Think-Demon is letting Drag Queen and Swan Whore add a couple details to his look." Cobra dramatically flopped himself down onto the couch. "Damn this thing is cumfy." She reproduced Laxus's response to the couch and gave him her best scowl.

"It's a fucking couch. The guild is a stupid place for a couch." She then said her prayers and glared at Laxus. "The fuck is your problem, Blondie?" He zapped her. At least he tried to, but she had prepared for that and had her pockets loaded with a secret weapon.

"Damn, Boss Lady. You make Laxus look sexy!" *sexy boss, so funny, do it again.

"Bix, unless you are going to use that tongue put it away." He left his tongue out and laughed harder. Her secret weapon was loaded now, so she threw a marble sized lacrima at him. It wasn't as strong as Laxus magic, but when it hit his tongue it zapped him hard enough that he yelped and fell off his chair. She caught the corner of Laxus's mouth twitching and decided if she did that often enough she wouldn't die tonight.

She almost fell right out of her own chair when she saw Freed follow Midnight and Angel out of Laxus's office. The changes in his look were all subtle, but added together he had her blood heating up instantly. His normally burgundy coat was black, his slacks grey, and everything else, including his cravat was blood red. Midnight and Angel had apparently been helping with makeup, because his skin was a shade paler than usual, his lips a couple shades darker and there was black around both his lips and his eyes. He had a braid on either side of his head, holding his green hair back just enough that she could see that he had magicked up pointy ears somehow. It was the horns that tipped hein off though, little ones that just barely peeked through his hair.

"You naughty little Imp." Freed's eyes widened.

"M-miss Lucy? Y-you... You are Laxus."

"Yep. The supreme asshole himself." Suddenly Freed looked a bit sad.

"Do the boots have to stay on all night?"

"Fuck yes!" Laxus slammed his fist onto the table to emphasize his statement. "For one fucking day you two keep your kinky nerd shit and those accursed foot rubs out of this damn guildhall!"

"They could be doing so much worse, Spark Plug. I'd let them have their foot rubs unless you want some of the other shit I've heard to be brought in here." Lucy took that as a suggestion and beckoned Freed closer with a single finger.

"You have two choices." She spoke softly enough to keep the conversation at their table. "Either I lift that rule for the night and allow you to touch any of my exposed skin you wish to or you can be a good little Imp and I will talk to Virgo about actually chaining your hands to my feet tomorrow." Freed shuddered and Laxus blanched.

"Mavis. For fucks sake take the damn boots off and stop talking about that shit!"

"Fuck no. Leave my damn boots alone!" Laxus growled at her, but she ignored him. "Well, Freed? What is your choice?"

"I- I'll be a good Imp, Miss Lucy." She grinned and Laxus began slamming his head against the table. Cobra cackled in delight. Lucy was starting to really like the poison dragon slayer. He came off as an asshole, but once you got to know him he was smart, funny, and loyal. She bet he would make an awesome friend if he actually trusted someone.

"Tink, cut that unicorn shit out before I get cavities." She grinned and started thinking really hard about pelting him with sparkly, rainbow globs while dressed as a unicorn. "You are so, just, wrong."

The third time Laxus zapped her it overloaded her marbles, blowing one up in her pocket and making her hair go absolutely nuts. She pulled back after that and was more careful. Bix wasn't though and he ended up receiving most of her marbles. He dodged a few though, one of which hit Cana, starting that nights second brawl. At some point during that fight Lucy lost her hair tie, and with all the electricity about her person she was totally rocking the same basic hairstyle Laxus had during his short time as a chick.

She fought it, tried to focus on the party and their other friends, anything that wasn't her Imp. It was just.. Freed was looking so delicious. Of course Laxus deciding any little sister of his had to at least know what good Scotch tasted like might have had something to do with her lack of self control. It was listening to him discuss celestial magic with Jellal that finally made her snap. He was so damn smart and so fucking sexy. She yanked him right out of his conversation by his blood red cravat and tackled him onto a table to kiss him breathless behind a veil of her unbound blond hair.

"Get some, Lulu!"

"Damn. Bunny's eating him alive."

"FreeLu babies!"

"That'll teach him not to tease Cosplayer in public." *tease, punishment, call Virgo, public displays of lust, PDL.

"Better let him breath, Tink. Don't wanna take him home in a casket."

"Blondie, you cut that the fuck out! Go the fuck home for that shit!" She broke the kiss and gasped for breath.

"How fast can your runes teleport us out of here?" He smirkes and lifted a hand to his glowing eye to better channel his magic. Lucy sat up where she was straddling his hips and grinned at Laxus. In her defence her newest big brother had gotten her really drunk.

"Awe. Poor wittwe Waxus is aw upset. Jealous I make a hotter bitch than you did?" Freed's runes had started swirling around them as soon as she started talking. His efficiency was the only reason she didn't get herself seriously hurt. As it was when they materialised in Freed's home her hair was very alive and a bit singed. "Mavis, that was awesome!"

"Are you satisfied, Miss Lucy? I doubt we will be able to leave the safety of my home for at least two days."

"Hmm. Can you adjust your runes to keep him out?"

"I wrote the changes into the teleportation spell. There was a possibility that he could have instantly followed."

"Good. Because I am far from satisfied. I might be if I truly have you at my mercy for two whole days." Freed's eyes were wide. The muscles of his chest quivered under her fingers, and when she rolled her hips she was thrilled with how hard he was under her. "After all... You were such a good for me tonight. Weren't you, my little Imp?"

"Yes, Miss Lucy." She planned to ride him till they were both unconscious tonight. Hopefully her hangover wouldn't be to bad and she could make them both a nice breakfast in the morning. Then she had two days during which she could keep Freed either chained to her, or to his bed, or some combination thereof. She planned to enjoy every second
