Hi guys! Here is chapter 9 of Lucy's Fairy Tales. Enjoy!

[3rd POV]

Wolf, with his head against his head, sighing, said, "Girlie...I knew you were weak, but I didn't know it was this bad…"

Wolf let out another big sigh. He looked at Lucy with a disappointed look. Then he closed his eyes, shaked his head, and let out another sigh.

"Stop sighing or you're going to become older!" Lucy exclaimed, smiling.

"I think I aged ten years watching you work out… or trying to work out," Wolf replied.

"Heyyyy! It wasn't that bad…" Lucy said, fidgeting with her fingers. "Was it?"

Wolf looked at her again, and sighed even louder.

"Oh, okay," Lucy said, and started frowning.

"Look, girlie," Wolf said. "It's fine. You're weak. You have no stamina. You are completely out of shape. So what? That means you can become more stronger, increase your stamina, and get into shape. So don't be so hard on yourself, okay?" Wolf ruffled Lucy's hair, and walked towards the pile of ashes from yesterday's fire.

Lucy's face reddened, as she touched her hair, remembering how Wolf's hand on her hair felt. When she realized what she was feeling (A/N: LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE!), she quickly pulled her hand away and shook her head, as if to think that it would help her forget what just happened.

Lucy stood up and slowly walked towards where Wolf was inspecting the dead fire. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"Hmm? Oh, I was just making sure if the wood I burnt last night was okay," Wolf replied. "It wasn't cold when you were sleeping, right?"

"Um… yeah, it was fine." Lucy replied.

"That's good…" Wolf whispered softly, but loud enough for Lucy to hear.

[At that moment, in Lucy's head]

Suspicious Lucy: Wait… is he worried about me being cold at night?

Excited Lucy: OMG YES HE IS!

Romantic Lucy: Aww that is soooo nice of him~ *closes eyes and starts daydreaming about having Wolf's babies*

Logical Lucy: Guys, we almost killed him and then threatened to kill him. Do you honestly think he legitimately cares about us?

Mature Lucy: Yeah, guys. He might just leave, just like that, like everyone else.

Child Lucy: But… but I like uncle Wolf! He is so nice! I don't want him to leave… Also, I'm pretty sure he likes us :) Lucy and Wolf! Sitting on a tree! K-I-S-S…

All the other Lucy's: STOPPPPPP!

[Back to Reality]

Wolf stood up, and then went to his sack and pulled something out. He walked back to Lucy, and handed her an object.

"Here, for you." The object was a handheld dagger. It hand a bronze luster, and had a comfortable handle.

Lucy held the dagger in her hands and examined it. She fell in love with it instantly.

"Wow, this is the most beautiful weapon I've ever seen. And that's saying something because I have seen a lot of weapons," Lucy said, still admiring her blade.

"Heh, I'm glad you like it, girlie. Also, I already named it for you. I'm sure you'll love it," Wolf said.

"What is it?" Lucy asked.

"Its name is Andromeda."
