Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait! Hope this makes up for it.

I do not own FairyTail!

I'm sorry everyone, but this chapter is not edited, so please bare with me.


"We've finished Ma'am, the fire won't bother us any more." A man in a fireman's uniform informed a lady. The lady smiled at the news.

"Well, done gentleman, you can all go home except for you security. Good day." The lady dismissed.

"Will do, you too ma'am." All of the men went back to the city, while the men in dark uniforms stayed behind.

"Security, help me find my son." The lady ordered as she lead the way in a random direction, the rest of her company following. The crowd of people only walked for a few minutes until they came across a waterfall, straight and tall. "Impressive." The lady gushed. She then spotted something red laying next to the edge of the river. Curious, she traipsed over to the strange object and picked it up.

"What is it ma'am?" A man asked peering over the lady's shoulder. The lady then realised that the red cloth in her hands was a dress, a dress from her store, the dress that was stolen by that blonde girl. The smooth silk was covered in dirt and soaked to the bone, which made it heavy and stick to the lady's pale skin.

"What a waste. It's a nice little gown from my store in Magnolia. "

"Very nice indeed."

"Yes, now chop chop. Let's go find my son." The woman continued on her quest with the red dress in her arms.

...

Lucy jolted awake when she felt someone shaking her like no tomorrow. Her eyes looked at every corner of the room before they landed on the person who was guilty for disrupting the tired blonde's nap. Beauty sleep was important after all.

"Geez Lucy, you sleep like a log." Happy teased flying circles around the blonde.

"Shut it cat!" Lucy yelled, making the blue cat cower behind Natsu.

"You're finally awake!" The pink haired boy grinned widely as Lucy's angry chocolate brown eyes glared into his.

"Yeah, no thanks to you." Lucy grumbled, letting out a huge yawn with her mouth wide open. Natsu took this chance and blew into the blonde's mouth and she gave him the amusing reaction he was aiming for. "Natsu! That's disgusting! Your breath stinks!" Lucy wiped her tongue with her hands and then smeared her saliva on Natsu's shirt.

"Lucy! This is my favourite shirt!" Natsu tried to remove the spit by using Lucy and Happy as a cloth, but they, unfortunately for him, got away.

"It was your fault in the first place, so don't blame me!" Lucy giggled as Natsu scrunched up his face in disgust.

"Just because there's some stuff on your shirt, doesn't mean that it's the end of the world." Happy flew to the roof to get away from the crazy boy.

"Whatever." Natsu looked away with a pout on his face.

"Words of wisdom from a cat, a blue one no less. You're actually pretty smart." Lucy praised.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Happy lowered his altitude and landed on the blonde's head.

"Nothing. Why did you wake me up anyway?"

"Oh yeah!" Natsu began to run around in a panic. "My mum is going to be here any second now and I'm gonna be in so much trouble; she's gonna torture me!"

"Why are you in trouble?"

"Firstly, she knows I started that stupid fire! Secondly, I still haven't picked a bride yet!" Natsu waved his armed frantically in the air, almost hitting the blonde. Something then clicked in Lucy's head, Natsu looked awfully like that clothes store lady, and the lady did ask Lucy to marry her son.

"Natsu, your mum wouldn't happen to be the owner of the Dragon's Beauty company?"

"That's right, you know her?"

"Let's just say that we had a little encounter." Lucy trembled at the memory.

"I heard that she was coming to Magnolia, but I didn't think it was true!" Natsu was pulling on his pink hair, not knowing what he was going to do. The image of his mother sent shivers down his spine. There was no telling what she would do to him.

"Well now you know that it is."

"Come on Lucy, this is serious! She's going to tear me limb from limb!"

"It's not my problem." The blonde shrugged her shoulders.

"How can you be so heartless? Natsu's mum is scary!" Happy clung onto Lucy's blonde hair.

"Wasn't Natsu the one who started that monster of a fire and left me there to fend for myself?"

"Don't use that against me! It was an accident!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Speaking of the fire, how did you start it in the first place?"

"Natsu must have lost control of his magic while he was training." The blue cat suggested.

"He's a wizard?"

"Yup!"

"I'm a good one too!" The pink haired boy stood proud and tall like that time when he ran away from the fire.

"Can you use any magic Lucy?" Happy asked.

"You could say that..."

"What kind?"

"Well, I can use-" Lucy was abruptly interrupted by a loud yell. Happy, Natsu and Lucy could hear loud footsteps getting louder and louder.

"My son is in there! Bring him out for me." The trio heard a faint voice roar a demand.

"Ah!" Happy flew around the room, bumping into objects, knocking them over.

"Oh no! It's my mum! Quick, let's run!" Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand and Happy's paw. He took off, while the blonde and blue cat trailed behind him. "Hurry, before they get here!"

...

"My son is in there! Bring him out for me." A lady ordered the men surrounding her as soon as the tip of a shack came into view. The men did as she said and knocked down the door when they reached the small structure, not caring if it would fall off or not. A few men made their way into the shack, only to face curiosity when nobody was found.

"Ma'am he's not in here." One man informed the lady. The lady scratched her chin, an annoyed expression on her face.

"So he wants to hide? Well two can play at that game. Men!" The lady caught the attention of all of her security guards. "It's time to play hind and seek."

...

"Natsu! I understand that your mum is scary and that you want to get away, but why am I with you?" The blonde complained, using the back of her hand to wipe away the sweat on her forehead.

"Cause you're my friend Lucy." Natsu smiled at the blonde. A faint blush crawled it's way onto her cheeks.

"You like him!" Happy exclaimed, rolling his tongue.

"Shut it cat!" Lucy tried to grab Happy, but was then pulled down into a bush right when she got a hold of him. "What the-" A hand covered her mouth. Lucy looked up and was relieved to see that it was only her pink haired companion. Lucy then knew the reason why they were hidden as she heard footsteps approaching. The three friends waited for people to appear, but none ever did.

"I wonder why no one is showing up." Natsu said.

"They're afraid of Lucy, that's why." Happy whispered teasingly, making the blonde glare at him.

"Shut it cat!" She whisper yelled. All of a sudden, the three heard a small sneeze, alerting them of another presence.

"Come out now! We know you're there so there's no point in hiding from us." The pink hair boy shot up from his position forgetting that he was supposed to be hiding, Lucy and Happy followed his lead. A barely audible curse was spoken, proving that the three were not alone.

The three took a few steps back, inching closer and closer to there doom. The forest was now as silent as a shadow. The ground below the trio began to shake and they fell right through the surface. They found themselves in a shallow ditch in the ground.

"'Ouch, well that hurt...a lot." Lucy groan. Who would set a pit fall trap right in the middle of nowhere? This was ridiculous!

"Aye!" Happy agreed.

"See! I told you it would be funnier than just ambushing them!" A high feminine laugh reached the blonde's ears. A pair of hands reached down to picked Lucy up and set her on the ground. She recognized the person, it was one of the security guards that chased her the day before! That could only mean that the laugh came from the shop owner! Oh no!

"I will not marry your son and I won't go to prison either!" Lucy roared at the lady, building up her confidence as she spoke. The older woman smirked, her eyes were shadowed by her bangs.

"Oh yes you are sweetheart. Security!" All the men surround her like a school of fish. She slid through a tall man's legs and made a run for it. Before she could escape, one of the men tackled her. The lady laughed again.

"Wait, what's this about? Now you want me to marry Lucy?" Natsu questioned his mother.

"Oh darling, I haven't had this much fun in a long time." The lady said, completely ignoring her curious son.

"For the last time..." The lady pulled out her phone and lifted up the dress in her arms, successfully cutting Lucy off.

"Hello? I have a report to make. This blonde girl stole one of the most expensive dresses in my store."

"No! Okay, I will marry your son!" Lucy pleaded, very desperately. The woman smiled putting her phone away. Natsu just sat there, confused as ever.

"So you do like him!" Happy gasped.

"Shut it cat!"

"I knew you would do what I say eventually! Oh, and dear, why did you leave this beautiful dress lying on the ground and run away with those ugly pajamas on? Before I forget, welcome to the family! I am your new mother!" Lucy slapped her forehead, she had completely forgotten about the dress. She had thrown it in a random spot when she stripped to have a bath. Her efforts to takes the dress were for nothing.

Lucy the remembered the problem she was in. A solution for her marriage problem formulated in her head, she would say that she was marrying Natsu and then when she could, she would make her escape. The blonde grinned.

"You know your face is gonna get stuck like that if you don't stop grinning so creepily." Happy warned teasingly.

"For the last time, shut it cat!" Lucy yelled.

"That's it, I can't take it anymore we're leaving!" Natsu yelled, grabbed his two friends and ran off, leaving his mother behind in the dust.

"Ma'am, would you like us to go after them?" A security guard ask.

"No, we've had enough fun for today. I'm getting tired. Let those kids do whatever for now, we'll get them next time, and that'll be when the wedding is." The lady yawned and smiled at what she said.


Thanks for reading! I realised that Happy doesn't say a lot, so I'll make sure that doesn't happen next time.
