Chapter 10: Ways To Make Things Fun
The following day, Lucy had woken up in one of the dorm rooms at the Sabertooth guild. This was her new bedroom, as well as where she would now be living, and it looked quite different from the bedroom that Lucy had in her apartment. This room possessed a brown tiled ceiling, light green walls, light blue carpeting that covered the entire floor, and the furniture was purple in color. The large four-poster bed was a royal purple with two soft pink pillows on it, and there was also a purple rectangular table in the middle of the room as well. A purple sofa stood behind the table, and there was a wide purple dresser next to a tall bookcase near the door.
The brown wooden door was across from Lucy's royal purple bed, and the blonde girl smiled happily while seeing a pink desk on the left side of the room with a pink heart-shaped chair to match it. There were two adjacent arched windows on the left side of her room, having red curtains that were moved away from the windows, and the sunlight beautifully shined into Lucy's dorm room. Really, this guild was definitely good with its ability to make the rooms look pretty stylish for every specific person. Sting had made Rufus use his Memory-Make Magic to make this room look awesome for Lucy, pretty much using another great tactic of flirting.
Lucy removed the pink comforter off of her body, and she raised her arms high above her head. She knew that Sting was a really great guy, but Lucy was very impressed with his thoughts for the design ideas. It was almost as if he had known what kinds of style would appeal to her in terms of design, but the white dragon slayer had mainly looked at how Lucy had made her outfits match with beautiful blends of colors. If she had used green, blue, and purple for her clothing, would it not look good to her in an awesome room that no one could break into?
The blonde mage got out of bed to look outside one of the arched windows, and Lucy noticed that she was on the seventh floor of the guild. That was pretty good, since Sting and the other members of his team were on this floor as well. Of course, Lucy did not know that yet. She quickly turned around to take notice of her room also having a bathroom that had a beautiful red tiled floor with some orange walls to match. She could see that the bathtub was large and elegant while it was white, and the cabinet near it had contained many bottles of body wash and shampoos for her to use.
Since Lucy did not really feel like starting off her day with a shower, knowing that someone could knock at any moment to possibly greet their new friend, and she noticed that there was now a purple plate of chocolate cookies with a cup of warm hot chocolate made for Lucy to start her day. The blonde mage looked a bit confused by the sight of this, hoping that there was not a ghost in her dorm room, but she did not know that Sting had used most of the guild's cash to afford automated technology that used the Memory-Make skills of Rufus to create breakfast for every person in their dorm room when they had woken up.
As Lucy walked over to the pyramid of fifty-five chocolate cookies, taking the first one from the top to eat it and smile while enjoying how great it tasted, she heard someone softly knock at the door. This is what she thought would happen, since it was the reason why she didn't take a shower, and Lucy had to wonder who it could be. She quickly went into the bathroom for a brush, fixing her hair nicely to look good for a possible first impression, and the brown-eyed girl ran back out to open the door. Whoever wanted to see her, it might be a good first meeting.
"Good morning, Lucy-sama. I hope that you slept well last night, and you'll truly like it here. Sting is a really wonderful guild master, and I'm glad that he got his first kiss from someone who is nice like you. Anyway, he wanted me to take you on a job with me to the town of Goldenrod. It will be a really fun job, Lucy-sama, but that's all that the flyer said. Also, you might not want to go out like that." Yukino greeted and explained to her friend in a kind tone of voice, giggling a bit while she was hiding a bit of a surprise because she was following Sting's orders.
Lucy curiously looked down at her current attire, before blushing a light shade of pink at the fact that she was in her orange lacy bra and orange lacy panties, prompting her to quickly close the door to change clothes. She did not want any pervy guys passing by to see her in her underwear, and Lucy wasted no time picking out something to wear. She picked out a red T-shirt with a scarlet red miniskirt to match, and her flat shoes were orange. Lucy styled her hair into a ponytail on the right side of her head, and she also tied her hair together with a purple ribbon.
The blonde mage opened her brown door once again to see Yukino, and she replied in a calm manner while smiling happily, "I'm ready now, Yukino. I'm so happy that Sting wants me to go with you on a job, and I'm glad that the people in this guild seem so kind. You're all so fashionable and up to date on technology, so I guess that my outfits from Magnolia are good until I can afford the clothes here. Really, I even saw a store selling many of their entire outfits for 800,000 jewels as the lowest price. High-class elegance deserves expensiveness, I guess."
As Yukino and Lucy shared a laugh over how expensive the clothes were in Rustboro, the blonde mage was really happy to notice that one of the guild members was actually talking to her and being open with her. Yukino was much better than any of her former friends from Fairy Tail, not being totally quiet about things, and she had even told Lucy that Sting was hoping she'd like this job. It would be pretty good for Lucy to go to a place that might be pretty fun, and she giggled happily while Yukino led her to the doors of a nearby golden elevator for them to descend down to the first floor to exit the Sabertooth guild.
While the girls were now headed out on a job, they did not notice that Rufus had been watching from in the air vent above the hallway. Their departure meant that the plan was proceeding nicely, and Rufus used a spell known as Memory-Make: Teleport to reach Goldenrod Town in a flash. He was happy to be helping Sting with this second date, even if the masked man thought that this would be a weird way of asking a girl out on a second date. After all, would Sting really just wait for her to reach the location of their date and say that it was a big surprise? Well, that was one way to make Lucy be amazed. Sting was a good strategist, that's for sure.
Meanwhile, at the Fairy Tail guild...
Lisanna had just finished changing Natsu's bandages while he was in the guild's infirmary, having bandages to cover up the bruises on his face, arms, chest, and legs, and Lisanna had also let Gray check up on the fire dragon slayer. Erza had come along as well, not to check on his condition, but the scarlet-haired mage was really disappointed in Natsu for starting a fight with Lucy and saying such horrible things that he probably couldn't take back at this point. Erza also hated the fact that she had to see her best friend leave the guild because of the tension, too.
Gray had also been displeased with Natsu for causing that stupid drama with Lucy, knowing full well that she had already been saddened by him cheating on her for supposedly being inferior to Lisanna, and the ice mage could not believe that the fire dragon slayer just did not know when to keep his mouth shut. If he had not been so rude to Lucy, she would probably still be in Fairy Tail. She didn't even enjoy his presence, not wanting to see that dense idiot again, and Gray really wanted to freeze Natsu solid to really put his attitude on ice.
While the black-haired male had glared at Natsu for what happened yesterday, he also turned his glare towards Erza for not even being a real friend to Lucy. Gray had not really cared much for Natsu's affair with Lisanna in the beginning, thinking that his dense rival would one day spill the truth to his former blonde lover, but Natsu had been very lucky to slide by with his slick lies. He had even told the guild to keep quiet about the affair, but they did not have to follow his command. Erza could've said something to Lucy, but many people knew how sensitive she could be.
Even if she would get emotional from having to hear the full truth about how her boyfriend had been nothing more than a cheater, would that not be better than leading her on with fake love? Gray had always known Lucy to be a nice person, really kind and sweet, but the ice mage also knew that he was also at fault for not thinking more of Natsu's romantic affair with his mistress. He had really overlooked the possibility of Natsu spending enough time with Lisanna to know that losing her would leave him with something that he didn't value, but at least karma made that jerk lose to Lucy.
The guild hadn't exactly been in full attendance when the fight had transpired, so people like Gajeel and Wendy would have no idea that Lucy had left the Fairy Tail guild. Erza didn't want to have to make her leave, and she looked a bit saddened while knowing that she had played a role in betraying someone who was really kind. However, she began to look at the circumstances from another angle as well. If Natsu had just been honest to break up with Lucy while just telling only her that he loved Lisanna, then the Celestial Spirit Wizard would not have felt like the guild of friendship had now turned into a guild of liars.
"I still can't believe that a crybaby like Lucy managed to put me in this condition! If it was Laxus or Erza, I'd have no problem with it! I can take them on anytime, but I want to crush Lucy for roasting me with fire! I eat the stuff, for god's sake, so how the hell did I lose?! Burning her after pouring alcohol on Lucy should've meant that I won, but how did she turn the battle around on me?!" Natsu exclaimed angrily while flames began to surround his body while he breathed heavily, only to see the flames burn out quickly before he felt intense pain once again.
Gray sighed in an annoyed manner, narrowing his dark blue eyes at the fire dragon slayer, and he almost felt like making a hammer out of ice to hit Natsu on the head with it. After what he did to Lucy for Erza to make her leave Fairy Tail and get in the way of her personal business that was presumably with Makarov, was he seriously still thinking about himself and being a total idiot? He had been so physically and verbally abusive to Lucy, bullying her and calling her a traitor for helping Sabertooth do a good thing, so now he was acting like there was no blame to be put on him? On top of that, how could that hypocrite call Lucy a traitor when he had been the one to betray her?
The ice mage responded coldly, folding his arms while looking down at Natsu as he stood across from his bed with a stern glare on his face, "You really have to be kidding me, flame brain. Even after taking all that damage and being burnt badly by Lucy's flames, you still don't get it? She probably came to Fairy Tail for the removal of her guild mark, but you got in the way of that and starting disrespecting her for no reason! She does not have to say hello to the guy who cheated on her, and she has the right to not take all the bullying that you spewed at her! You caused the drama to get physical, and Lucy simply put you in your place!"
Natsu looked angered by his rival taking Lucy's side on this, defending her like she could actually be better than Lisanna in some ways, and Natsu refused to accept the loss that he had experienced. He just could not believe that Lucy used fire on metal arrows to blow up her own flames, and the fire dragon slayer could not believe that their level of damage had also burnt off his clothes. The flames and the blasts may have been enough to censor Natsu, but most of the girls did not find him hot like Gray. Stripping was the ice mage's thing, and he had actually looked good when he did it.
"Gray, you didn't see how Lucy slapped me one day for simply crossing paths with me! I don't know how she found out about me cheating on her, but I'll find the snitch who did it! I bet that it was Gajeel, since he's always hated my guts, and I'll have to take him down for spilling my secret affair to Lucy! He's always saying how I'm stupid, and maybe that guy influenced Lucy to leave the guild! When I find him, he's going down!" Natsu shouted back at the ice mage, refusing to accept any of his words, and he was just way too dense to replay his memories to see that he was responsible for Lucy finding out because he had a big mouth as well as leaving the doors wide open.
That day was something that Erza had been thinking about while she had stayed silent, and the scarlet-haired mage had actually heard the sound of someone jumping into a bush to make it rustle. The blueberry bush was the closest one to the guild's staircase, and Erza came to the possible theory that Lucy must've seen Natsu and Lisanna walking towards the guild while she had gone home to get her keys. After all, wouldn't every girl observe the strange scene of her boyfriend laughing and smiling while his arm was around another woman? This was ironically the correct theory, but Erza had only guessed it because she hid in the bushes when she saw Jellal walking into Fairy Tail with Ultear once. They weren't cheerful, but Erza had been miffed to see Ultear giggle when one of Jellal's hands rubbed her rear.
Erza responded to Natsu's words in a stern tone, feeling angry about the fact that Lucy had to leave the guild because of the fire dragon slayer and the white-haired mage having an affair, "Listen, you stupid idiot! The snitch who let Lucy know about your affair is named Natsu Dragneel, and he is you! The guild's doors were open wide for her to hear everything while she hid in the blueberry bushes, and I think that she even saw you two kiss! Now we can't even get Lucy back, and she could be anywhere by now! That means apologizing is nearly impossible for us to do, and it's all thanks to you!"
Gray and Erza were both upset with Natsu for still thinking of only himself, not even trying to see this whole thing from a different perspective that was wider than his own, and both mages left the room in silence while leaving a few heavy footsteps behind. Natsu scoffed at them for yelling at him like he was the main bad guy here, which he certainly was, and his attitude hadn't just been affecting them. It was actually putting quite a strain on the entire guild, his arrogance and recklessness making the reputations of everyone look bad because they were part of his plan, and Lisanna gulped a bit while having regret in her blue eyes.
Even though the blue-eyed girl had wanted to be in a relationship with Natsu, she did not expect Fairy Tail to implode because of the secret that they helped him keep secret for nearly seven months. Their anniversary was going to be coming up soon, the day where the happy couple would have a wonderful romance together, but it seemed like nobody would really care now. They had all witnessed Natsu start the fight with Lucy, and she had even openly scolded them for not telling them a thing. If Natsu's secret made himself look bad, the resonating words of Lucy made everyone else look really bad as well. Reps were important to uphold, and most people did not want bad gossip to be spread about them. Lisanna looked frustrated while wondering how to fix this, and she had to admit that Lucy's final move in Fairy Tail was incredibly impacting.
In Goldenrod Town...
Lucy and Yukino had taken the Magnet Train from Rustboro to reach the town of Goldenrod, and the blonde mage's cocoa brown eyes twinkled with delight when she saw that a large part of the city was an entire amusement park with its high-speed roller coaster, Ferris wheel, casinos, prize booths, photo booth, restaurants, cannons, and other attractions. This town was pretty lively, since the concession stands were also having people lining up to play games and win prizes. In a fun place like this, Lucy thought that Yukino's job must really be great for the day.
While she would happy to help Yukino out with whatever she had to do, Lucy still had to wonder where Sting could be. She had not seen him on her way out of the guild, nor did she see Lector or any of the other guys in his crew. Lucy hoped that they were okay, hopefully not lost in a desert somewhere, and the blonde mage was driven out of her thoughts by the fact that a black and white jack-in-the-box was bouncing towards her. She could see its handle, obviously needing to turn it, and Lucy did not know that Yukino was having such a cheerful smile on her face. She was really good at not revealing the surprise, especially since Rufus had made that jack-in-the-box as a little trick.
As Lucy squatted down to turn the handle, she looked a bit curious to see that it was playing an eerie jack-in-the-box version of some creepy music while the handle began to turn on its own. Lucy quickly backed away while seeing the box spring up into the air, and then she looked totally shocked from witnessing it explode in a white puff of smoke. Yukino kept smiling, however, and the blue-haired woman watched Sting, Rogue, Lector, and Frosch appear from the sky while they landed on their feet. Rufus walked over to them with a white chocolate cake on a plate that was in his hands, making Lucy now look really confused about what was going on here.
"Surprise, Lucy! I totally wanted to give you a great second date, since you only had half of a good day yesterday, so I planned out this strategy with the others to totally make you happy! I hope that you really like having fun in the morning because that's what this day shall be! Please tell me that you're not a hater of amusement parks, Lucy." Sting explained to her with a happy smile on his face while his blue eyes twinkled, as he did many poses of success to show his date that the great Sting Eucliffe was never one to disappoint a woman that he liked.
The blonde girl replied nicely while blushing a light shade of pink, looking very pleased and happy that her great friend had gone out of his way to throw her a surprise date, "Wow, Sting! You are such an awesome guy, and I'm glad that you want to have fun with me! You're such a thoughtful person, always making me feel so calm, and I love how you even made Rufus get my favorite flavor of cake as well! I honestly don't care if you're stalking me for info, because all of you are the greatest friends in the entire world! Thank you so much, everyone! Let's go have some fun!"
Before anyone could decide where to go, Lucy took Sting's hand in hers while she was eager to try and win prizes at a concession stand that she could see in the distance. Rufus and Orga went to one of the restaurants for some food to eat, leaving Yukino and Rogue to simply go get some ice cream from a nearby parlor. This would be a very interesting day of fun, especially since Lucy loved to be at amusement parks. She had never gone anywhere like this with Natsu, since he was just a cheating jerk, and Sting was a much better guy. This day would be filled with surprises, that's for sure.
Sting and Lucy arrived at a concession stand to try and win prizes, and all that they had to do was knock down a stack of bottles with a baseball. Sting looked pretty confident while picking up a baseball, and he actually threw it at the wall in a curved trajectory to make it bounce around the stand a few times. The man managing the stand actually ducked for cover, and that one baseball had managed to knock five stacks before it hit the soft dirt on the ground to cease its bouncing. Lucy gasped in amazement at the fact that Sting was not only cocky and smart, but he was sporty as well. If that had been an event in the Grand Magic Games, he'd definitely get ten points.
Since Sting had actually knocked down five stacks of bottles, he got to choose five prizes. The first prize that he chose was a cool item for Holder Magic, and it was a bag of white marbles. These were actually Light Balls, little marbles that could create explosive blasts of light whenever they hit something, but Sting did not know what they were. He had given them to Lucy, since she might need them someday, and Sting picked out his second prize. He had actually decided to not get anymore prizes, but he surprised Lucy by pulling the red spell book out of the right pocket of his blue vest. He also gave her the ten golden keys, making Lucy see that this date was really full of surprises.
She loved being on this nice date with Sting, finding it to be just as great as the time that they went to the cafe together, and Lucy really had to thank him for being so cool and caring. He had encouraged her to never give up, letting her know that she could eventually beat Shelly, and the blonde mage had to give Sting a nice present for being such a great guy. She gave him a quick kiss on the lips, blushing happily while wrapping her arms around his neck, but what happened next in that moment would cause their kiss to be cut short by a few seconds.
In a sudden moment, the sight of a yellow sphere going up into the air got everyone's attention. Lucy looked very curious about this, wondering who would illogically shoot up fireworks during the daytime, but her eyes saw something different than fireworks. A person stood on the highest point of the town, standing all the way up on the highest rooftop, and she smirked a little bit while a yellow aura began to surround her body. She moved her hands in a psychic manner, watching the yellow beams explode in the sky, and they exploded into numerous yellow meteors that would come down to the ground.
Lucy's eyes widened in shock at the fact that this person used such a reckless technique, probably not knowing that they could hurt people with this if those meteors were real, but she looked even more appalled to see the person look down towards her while putting her hands together. This caused some of the meteors to now go straight towards Lucy, honing in on her, but Sting used his Holy Ray attack to cancel them out. Many miniature yellow blasts of energy transpired, and Sting had to wonder about who could be attacking Lucy. The blonde girl knew that Laxus couldn't use a move like that, so who could it be?
"I've finally found it. Little girl, I want you to hand over that red book right now. If you don't do as I say, then you're going to see how electrifying my magic can be. I can even make blazes with my lightning, and the fires of my guild will burn you to a crisp. It will be a great pleasure to vanquish you, Lucy Heartfilia, and my name is Courtney Kagari from the guild known as Magma Groudon." A female voice explained in a brash manner, as they seemed to be jumping down from somewhere to meet the blonde mage. This day of fun had definitely turned into a day of drama once again, and Lucy growled in frustration while wanting to know who would attack her.
The yellow smoke cleared up quickly to let Lucy see that her opponent was wearing a red hoodie with horns on it, and this hooded outfit was long enough to be like her T-shirt as well. She had her stomach exposed, and this woman wore red boots that reached up to her knees. She had possibly known about Lucy's name through the files that some guilds had on Fairy Tail, keeping an eye on her as well, but what in the world did she want with the red book? It was certainly not a lost item, but this book seemed very valuable if somebody had been searching for it. This woman had violet hair and brown eyes as well, making Lucy really wonder who she was.
Lucy asked Sting about who this woman could possibly be, and the white dragon slayer looked stern while letting her know that the Balam Alliance was merely the main focus of the Magic Council. He let her know that Magma Groudon was the villainous team that opposed Aqua Kyogre, and these guys were experts with pyrotechnics. They also specialized in creating Fire Magic, making Lucy groan at the fact that she did not want to fight two flaming jerks in a row. Sting also knew that Lucy wanted to have fun on this day, and he knew that they couldn't fight recklessly to risk destroying the town. Since Magma Groudon was in Fiore, Sting smirked a bit while having a bit of a plan.
He let Courtney know that she could have the red book, but there was one condition. Since they were in such a beautiful town like this, not wanting it to be ruined, Sting let the opponent know that Lucy challenged her to the rules of the Grand Fiore League. The rules stated that relentless attacks were forbidden, especially if they were capable of killing any competitor in a match, and the rules for this battle made it be a five-on-five battle of spells. If a spell is broken through, the opposing spell wins that round. If a move is used and it misses, then that also counts as a loss for that round. The last rule stated that a draw will occur in a round, if the two spells cancel each other out, and Sting moved to the side while standing in the middle of the distance between both girls. Lucy and Courtney both stepped back a few feet to obey the rules, and Sting announced for the Contest Battle to begin. Since it was turn-based, Sting smartly let the antagonist go first to let Lucy see what she could do.
Narrowing her eyes, Courtney used a simple spell known as Lightning Beam to start things off. She fired a yellow beam from the index finger of her left hand, but Lucy dodged it while opening the red spell book. She used the fourth move known as Fire Trick. It caused a cherry red sphere of energy to be fired from Lucy's mouth, and the sphere bounced when it hit the ground and headed towards Courtney while bouncing in a zigzag motion. The collision of the two spells caused a miniature golden blast to occur, while six fiery explosions transpired as a result of the sphere bouncing six times to reach its opponent. Each explosion seemed to be more powerful and louder than the last, and Lucy's larger attack had won that round.
In the second round, the purple-haired villain had simply moved at lightning speed to start moving incredibly fast. She jumped high into the air, before spinning rapidly while she unleashed a much larger beam of electricity from her mouth. This attack was known as Lightning Pierce, and it could clearly pierce through anything. Lucy had tried to counter it with the fifth spell known as Fiery Punch, but even her left fist engulfed in flames was not enough to stop the beam when the two attacks had collided. Lucy had been pushed backwards, before the beam of lightning struck her directly with immense power! It sent the blonde mage flying back against the wall, and Lucy slid to the ground before standing up again.
"Man, that was a pretty strong attack. This girl has got skills, and it looks like she can use electricity as her type of magic. I don't know what she wants with my book, but I'm not handing it over to her." Lucy said aloud while looking fierce, knowing that she would have to use a few new special moves in these last three rounds while she ran back to where she was originally standing.
Courtney laughed evilly while she was still up in the air, and that gave Lucy an idea. She noticed that her opponent smirked while spinning around in midair while she descended to the ground, and this spell was known as Drilling Shock. Much to everyone's surprise, though, Lucy countered that spell with a small fireball known as Saliva Flame. This move made Lucy spit out a ball of fire, and it landed on her drilling opponent. Nothing seemed to happen at first, until Courtney started screaming from feeling her lightning now become actual flames that reached the temperature of boiling hot magma. She immediately dispelled the lightning move, something that got rid of the flames as well, and Lucy's move could convert anything other than fire into fire when necessary. Quite a good conversion spell, right?
With only two moves left for both sides, the antagonist looked a bit frustrated while charged up a large ball of electricity in her hands. This was known as Electric Blast, and Courtney threw the yellow sphere at Lucy. However, the blonde mage suddenly began to spin around fast to create a large twister of red flames around herself. Courtney's attack made contact with the twister, trying to push through it, only to be absorbed at be reflected back at her in the form of numerous fiery drills. They all struck her head-on, creating many red blasts of fiery energy, and Sting could tell that his plan had definitely been working.
Only one round was left now, both sides having dished out some fierce attacks, but Courtney could tell that there was something interesting about Lucy. She used the spells in somewhat unorthodox ways, being a bit unusual, and the purple-haired woman ultimately decided to end this battle by firing a spiraling beam of electricity at Lucy. This beam grew extremely large, absorbing most of the electricity from a nearby arcade, but Lucy quickly used the Saliva Flame spell again. She watched the entire attack turn into a spiraling beam of flames, and everyone looked surprised to see Lucy inhale the entire move. Since Courtney's attack had technically missed, Lucy won the match.
"Well, I guess that's it. Due to your rules, I will leave you with that red book. Lucy Heartfilia of Fairy Tail, you really surprised me today. I thought that you'd be using your keys, but it looks like the red book really helped you out. You are pretty strong, so I'll tell you about myself. I am Courtney Kagari, a top commander in Magma Groudon, and it looks like this lightning is going to be worthless now. Even my worst enemy named Shelly could probably fizzle it out." The supposed antagonist had explained in a calm manner, disappointed in the fact that she was weak.
Lucy replied in a pretty shocked manner, not expecting to hear the name of her new rival, "You're an enemy of Shelly? No way! She's my rival now, and I'll show her what it means to deride me like how she did at the Oceanic Museum! My Fire Magic will take her down, Courtney! You'll see!" (The reason that Shelly is Lucy's rival is mainly because I plan to get the Alpha Sapphire version of the Hoenn remakes, and any of you Pokemon-loving viewers know that Team Magma were more like your neutral allies in the original Pokemon Sapphire.)
Since this fight had really no meaning to it, since the girls were technically allies for now, Courtney vanished in a flash of lightning to leave the scene. Lucy and Sting were both stunned to see her disappear like that, but they were both glad that the fight was short. That gave them more time to have fun together, enjoying each other's company, and the growling of Lucy's stomach made Sting chuckle a bit while guessing that those flames she ate would come out in the form of flatulence. They surprisingly came out in the form of a large belch that shocked everyone, and Lucy blushed pink while looking embarrassed.
Knowing that sh was really hungry, Sting ran off with Lucy to get that white chocolate cake from Rufus. It had surprisingly appeared in his hands, as Rufus also took the light balls from Lucy while him and Orga were watching them through the restaurant window, and Sting was delighted to know that the cake was now here. He used a thin white beam of light to split the cake in half, taking one half of the delicious cake off the plate, and Lucy simply ate the other half of it. While Rufus discovered that the Light Balls were actually just chocolate fudge balls painted white for a scam, Lucy smiled happily while she walked around town beside Sting.
Not only would every day be great with him, but Lucy had joy in her brown eyes while she now found herself in a guild that truly knew the meaning of friendship. Yukino and the others had been so nice to help Sting with this surprise, and the blonde mage knew that things were now getting better for her. Since Natsu wouldn't be bothering her anymore, Lucy could now focus on the romance that she would build up with Sting. He was such a good person, wanting to plan a great day for Lucy, and she rested her head on his shoulder while knowing that Sting was the guy who shined light into her life.
How was the 10th chapter? Did you like it? Sorry if there wasn't enough StiCy, but I planned to save the rest for later chapters. Lucy will end up having that lightning, but she won't receive it in the usual way. There will also be NaLi, and that will have its bumps in the relationship. Anyway, will Wendy find Lucy's letter? Will Lucy get seen by somebody? Standby for the update!
