A few weeks after Gray and Lucy's first date, they were spending more and more time together without Natsu and Erza. Word slowly traveled across the guild about the new couple and some are taking it harder than others. "God why has it been raining so much and why is it only raining over the guild!" Evergreen complained trying to dry her hair. "Its cause of those love birds over there," Freed said pointing at Lucy and Gray sitting side by side at a table, "Juvia is taking it real hard that her beloved Gray is taken by quote 'that blonde whore'." "Well I think they're a nice couple but Evergreen is right the rain is a problem, the pool is over flowing into the guild." Bickslow pointed out. "Well I guess it's up to me to help our heart broken friend," Evergreen said waving them off. Freed and Bickslow look at each other and think, 'Since when did evergreen help people?'
"Hey Luce I was thinking about something and I want to know what you think," Gray said looking down at Lucy resting on his shoulder. "What is it Gray?" "Well I was thinking we could maybe do a job together just the two of us, you know so we can have some alone time without Erza or Natsu barging in." Lucy looked up at him and got even closer to gray. "I think that would be a great idea how about we go look for one," Lucy kissed Gray, and suddenly it started to rain even harder and dripping through the ceiling. Gray got up and went over to the request board; he looked around and saw one that caught his eye. "Break ins at a hotel in Oak town, and it pays 7000 jewels." Gray took it off the board and went back to Lucy, "How about this it is just enough for your rent." Gray said smiling, "But you should take some of the reward too Gray," Lucy said protesting. "Spending time with you is my reward." Gray leaned down and kissed Lucy, and the rain fell harder. "Ok, well I'm going to go home and pack and we can meet at my house." Lucy grabbed her stuff and headed out. Gray walked over to the bar and called Mira over. "Her Mira me and Lucy are going to take the Oak town job ok." Mira looked at Gray with a big smirk, "Ok Gray you and Lucy have fun." Mira went off to serve others at the bar laughing. Once Gray left the guild the rain stopped and a sigh of relief came from everyone inside.
Lucy was packing an overnight bag for the trip when she got a call from Levy. "Hey Lu I heard you and Gray are going on an overnight job together, you're going to keep it PG right?" levy said laughing, "I don't know Levy me and Lucy may get really dirty tonight." Gray said as he jumped into the room from the open window. Lucy turned to him with a disapproving look. "Well Gray just wear protection because if you get Lu…" Lucy hung up before Levy could make it anymore awkward. Lucy turned to Gray ran at him and fell into his arms. They kissed and then Lucy said, "You aren't getting any I hope you know." Gray laughed and sat on Lucy's bed next to the bag he brought. "Well I guess we are just going to have to wait and see now won't we." Gray smirked and Lucy gave him a glare. "You all ready to go?" Lucy asked packing the last of her stuff. "All done and I brought the train tickets." Gray pulled them out to show her. "All right then I'm all packed, lets head out." Lucy said picking up her bag. "You know Luce the train doesn't leave for another two hours there is tons of 'fun' stuff we can do before then." Gray said pulling Lucy closer, "Well I guess so," Lucy leaned in and kissed Gray, He crept in closer trying to make a move and Lucy pushed him back. "Nope not yet Gray." She said teasing him.
Lucy and Gray got to the train station only to be met up by Erza. "Gray!" Erza yelled with a look that showed she was out to kill. "U...um Ye...yes Erza" Gray said gripping Lucy's hand tighter. "I heard you and Lucy were going on a overnight job by yourselves!" Gray's grip tightened again. "Ye...yes that right." Gray said try keep his cool. "Well I came to say good bye and good luck." Erza said with a warming smile. Grays grip loosened. "Well thanks Erza." Gray said relieved, but it was short lived. Erza grabbed Gray by his shirt collar and pulled him up to her face. "But if you dare hurt her or let her get hurt Gray I personally will kill you!" Erza said returning to her death stare. Lucy laughed as Erza dropped Gray and came over to hug her goodbye, but she ended up hurting her because Erza still had her armor on. Lucy ran over grabbed Gray still faint from Erza's warning and dragged him along to the train.
Lucy and Gray found their seats just before the train left the station. Lucy laid her head on Grays lap and fell asleep. "Well, well well lookie here." Gray looked up and saw Loki seating in the seat in front of him and Lucy. "Hey Loki how did you get here Lucy didn't open your gate." Gray said as he was very confused. "I used my own magic to get here." Loki said fixing his glasses, "Aquarius heard that Lucy was dating a boy and she refused to believe it so I came to check out myself, I'm glad it's you and not same asshole guy." Loki laughed under his breath, "Well you know me dude you have nothing to worry about." Gray said looking down at Lucy stroking her head. "To be honest Gray, I was quiet unset when I heard about Lucy dating someone because I do have feelings for her, but better you then me, I guess." Loki sighing, "But Gray if I get the chance to take her from you I hope you know I won't hesitate." Gray laughed, "I thought as much well we are almost at Oak Town." Loki waved goodbye and disappeared
The Train arrived at Oak town station, Gray woke Lucy up and the headed out to the Hotel. When they got there they both looked at each other and thought the same thing, "Phantom Lord." The Phantom Lord Guild was remodelled into a hotel the Phantom Hotel. When we walked in we emedeitly went to go see the manager at the front desk, "Bonjour I am monsieur Sol thee manager of Phantom Hotel!" a pencil thin green haired man said greeting Lucy and Gray, "Aren't you Sol of the Element Four?" Lucy asked remember the time she was kidnapped by Phantom Lord. "Indeed I am or was, and you are?" He said leaning forward examining them. "We are the Fairy Tail wizards here about the break ins." Gray explained while lifting his shirt to show is Guild mark, Lucy blushes at the site of Gray's chest and Gray laughs under his breath. "Oh But of course, we are currently tight on rooms rate the moment so we only have on available room for you to stay in while you are here." He passed them a key and a map, "On that map is where the break-ins have happened, they haven't hurt anyone or taken anything but it is still a major concern. Once you figure out who and why this is going on than inform me and I will handle it from there." Gray and Lucy took the map and key and headed straight for their room.
"Room number 874, let's get inside." Gray opened the door and to their surprise the room was small and had only a single bed. Gray gave Lucy a grin and nudged her, she looked at him and said, "So I get the bed and you get the floor." Gray's grin slowly turned to a disappointed look. "Come on Luce why don't we have a romantic night and share it." Lucy looked at him with a glare that just said 'No.' "Well we should check were the break-ins were taken place. " Gray took out the map and laid it across the floor. It had the layout of each floor and was marked with red X's were the break-ins were taking place. "It looks like they are all on the 14th floor." Lucy pointed out to Gray. "Well I guess we should start looking their then." Gray said getting up and heading to the door. "Um Gray your shirt" Lucy said. "Oh dammit were did it go!" Gray said looking around. "Don't bother I don't mind." Lucy said winking to Gray as she walked out the door. Gray smiled and followed her out.
Lucy and Gray headed up to the 14th floor. The floor was as you expected a regular hallway, nothing out of the ordinary except at the end of the hallway were gaping hole in the wall leading rate outside. "Umm Gray this seems odd don't you think." Lucy teased. "Well looks like we found where they broke in, I'm surprised the hotel hasn't fixed this yet." Gray got closer to examine the hole. "Gate of the Maiden, Gate Open!" Lucy summoned Virgo and she appeared rate in front of Lucy. "Yes Princess?" Virgo said awaiting her orders. "Virgo I need you to look around this floor and see if you find anything that can explain what caused this hole in the wall." Virgo rat away went off following her orders. "Hey what's this?" Gray reached out under the hole on the side of the building and pulled up a piece of dark blue fabric. "Whoever did this must have ripped whatever they were wearing." Lucy said grabbing the fabric from gray and examining it. "Do you want me to find whose that is princess?" Lucy jumped and turned seeing Virgo behind her. "Yes Virgo please do." Lucy replied. Virgo jumped through the hole down to the ground below. "She is really something." Gray said staring down below at Virgo "And what's that supposed to mean." Lucy said glaring at Gray. "What No! Lucy I didn't mean it that way!" Gray said with worry. "Oh relax I'm just teasing Gray." Lucy fell back laughing at Gray's expression. "Virgo is going to be awhile do you want to go ask around town about it, maybe grab some lunch?" Gray got up and grabbed Lucy's hand. "Sure, let's go." Gray and Lucy headed out.
Lucy and Gray headed down the main street of Oak town. Gray bought a rose for Lucy at a flower stand and they went to the Haunted Café. Gray and Lucy sat in a booth in the far back of the café to get some private. "Lucy once were done here what do you want to do tonight?" Gray asked giving her his evil smirk, "Oh I have few ideas Gray that I'm sure you will approve of." Lucy wicked at gray teasing him. "Hey there babe!" Lucy and Gray turned around and saw three goonish looking guys leaning over staring down at Lucy. Each one had a guild mark below their shoulders that resembled an apple. "Hey babe why don't you ditch this loser and come hang with us." One of the guys said licking his lips. Lucy got up and faced the guys. "Sure, I'll meet you outside." She said running his finger across his check. Gray was in a state of shock, the guys laughed and hi-fived each other on their way out of the café. "Lucy! What the fuck?" Gray said in disbelief. "Relax Gray I am just going to see if they know anything and if I get in trouble I have Loki and my other spirits that can help." Gray grabbed her hand and pulled her to him. "But what if they don't know anything, how would you know if they did." "Gray that guild mark they all had. Well it isn't a legal guilds symbol I know that for sure." Lucy leaned in and kissed Gray. "Let's meet back at the hotel lobby alright." Gray let go of Lucy hand and waved her bye. "I'm more worried about what Loki would do, then those goons." Gray muttered to himself.
Gray wondered around town talking to people about the break in but they all said the same thing, 'before each break-in the wind pick up and build up to unbelievable speeds.' Wind magic? Gray thought but still why would they want to break-in and not take anything, it just doesn't make sense. I should head back to the hotel and make sure I didn't miss anything.
Lucy was playing those goons like a violin. "So you guys are part of a super badass guild." Lucy said rubbing against one of the guys. "Oh ya we are members of the Cursed Apple guild, the most powerful independent dark guild in Fiore." He said bragging. "So what are you guys doing here?" Lucy said trying to act cute. "Our boss's son is behind the shit going on at the hotel; we are here to help him." "Oh really, why are you guys break-in to the hotel." The two other guys behind Lucy looked over at each other with a worried look. "The hotel used to be the Phantom Lord Guild, and there is something that master Jose left that out master wants." The goon explained. "Well I'm sure he wanted you to go because you are so strong." Lucy flirted. "Oh look at the time I have to go." Lucy turned around only to be stopped by the goons. "Where's the fire babe?" the goon said grabbing her arm. "Do you really think we didn't notice the fact you are part of an official guild." Lucy grabbed her keys and took out Cancers key. "Gate of the Giant Cra…" They grabbed the key out of her hand. "Oh I don't think so." They grabbed Lucy's hands and held them behind her. "Hey these are glowing!" Lucy's keys were glowing and shone so bright it blinded them. "Lucy are you alright?" Lucy opened her eyes and saw Loki carrying her away from the goons who were still stun by the light. "Loki thank god you're here." Lucy said relieved she was safe. "Loki I have to get to the hotel and quick I have to tell Gray about what's going on." Loki ran carrying Lucy to the Hotel.
"Gray!" Lucy ran into the lobby yelling tackling Gray to the ground. "Excuse me madam but why are you yelling in my lobby?" Sol said irritated. "Sorry but I know who was behind the break-ins." Lucy explained getting up off Gray. "Really Lucy who was it those goons you went with?" gray said while get up off the floor. "It's the Cursed Apple guild; they are looking for something that master Jose left behind before Phantom was disbanded." Sol's mouth dropped and he went in to complete shock. "C…Cu…Cursed Apple!" he screamed. "Who are they?" Gray said confused. "Cursed Apple is one of the most dangerous dark guilds in all of Fiora!" Sol said freaking out. "We must evacuate the hotel at once." Sol yelled over to the staff at the front desk. "Ok Lucy let's get up stairs and wait till they retu…" Gray paused and looked outside. The wind was picking up fast. "We need to get up there now!" Gray grabbed Lucy and ran to the stairs.
Gray and Lucy busted down the door to the fourteenth floor. There was a new hole in the wall and standing there was a boy that looked around there age. He was wearing all black and a torn dark blue cape with the same apple like symbol on it the goons had. When he saw them he yelled out. "Oscurità hurry we have to go!" A man wearing a black robe and hood covering his face fazed through the wall next to the hole. He was holding a small wooden box. "That's it lets go." The boy said. "And what of them Dan?" The man asked. "I'll handle them just get the shadow gate ready." He replied. Gray pushed Lucy behind him. "Lucy stay back, I'll protect you." The boy reached out his hand and spoke. "Venomous Fog!" Thick purple fog shoot out of his hand rate at Gray. "Ice Make Sheild!" Gray made an ice shield around them keeping the fog out. Once the fog cleared Gray took down his shield but the two wizards were already gone. "Shit they got away." Gray said punching a wall, He looked over at Lucy and pulled her in tight. "But at least you're safe." He said smiling. Lucy rapped her hands behind his neck and kissed him. "It's ok Gray, we should go and tell Sol that they are gone.
"Oh you are ok, did you defeat those fends." Sol said relieved. "Not exactly they kind of got away." Gray said trying to act casual about it. Sol's eye started to twitch "What do you mean they got away!" Sol was pissed and he didn't care about not snapping in front of his guest. "They took what they wanted and left." Lucy explained trying to calm him down. "Get your things and leave you are no good to me and don't even think about asking about the reward!" Sol stormed off in rage. Gray sighed, "So much for our overnight trip, sorry Luce." Gray said disappointed in himself. "Gray its fine at least we got to have some time together without Natsu or Happy bothering us. Let's go get our stuff and go home." Lucy grabbed Gray's hand and they went to get their stuff.
The train ride home was quiet, Gray fell asleep and Lucy didn't want to wake him up. Lucy wasn't able to get that Cursed Apple guy out of her head, there was something about him. His fog attack, she had read about magic like that but they were all acidic so it should have melt the ice shield. It was almost like he didn't want to hurt them. The train arrived at Magnolia station and as soon as Lucy and Gray walked out they heard Happy cry out. "Lucy!" Happy flow to her a hugged her chest. Gray gave him a disapproving look. They meet up with Natsu and Erza and when they told Erza about the Cursed Apple guild she got worried and told them to tell the master but for rate now they headed to Lucy's house for a much need sleep and alone time.
