Author's Note:
I am back sooner than expected but oh well, I REALLY wanted to update this, 'Chapter 2' has been sorted out, finally! I apologise for that, and this chapter is longer than my first, somehow?... oh well, please enjoy and I DO NOT AND NEVER EEEVVVEEERRR WILL OWN FAIRY TAIL OR ANY OF HIRO MASHIMA'S AMAAAZING WORK! Now, you can read! 😃😃😃😉😉😉😉😄😄😄😊😊😊😏😏😏
"Psst, Lucy, LUCY!" I felt someone prodding my cheek, I batted my eyes open, to see a pink blob,
"B…buzz off, it's too early, w…wake me up later!" I moaned and I turned on the opposite side.
"Man, you're annoying, hurry up! I have to go to work; and you're coming with me!" he pouted, I glared at him from over my shoulder,
"Why are you in my house?" I asked, he cocked his head.
"What are you talking about? You're in MY house, sleeping next to me, and I need to take you to Fairy Tail!" he demanded, I looked at him,
"Wait?" I paused, "I ACTUALLY SLEPT WITH YOU LAST NIGHT?" I screamed jumping up, Natsu shrugged,
"Yea, why?" he asked bluntly, hand balled into fists, and they swung at his face.
"PERVERT!"
"You're mean Lucy, why'd you attack me?" asked Natsu, he was currently lying on the floor, being treated by Igneel, he had bruises and cuts all over his face, chest and arms, and I decided to leave the bottom half alone.
"First, you slept with me last night, second, you're trying to take me to work with you, when I've already told you I don't do manual labour, and third… WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THIS OUTFIT!?" I screamed, I was wearing a white top that ended above my waist, with a blue heart in the centre, along with a blue vest with gold lining. I also had a short, REALLY SHORT, black miniskirt that on each side revealed my entire leg, along with the slightest but of my panties. Matching black boots and blue sleeves that weren't attacked to my vest, with a golden ribbon where my elbows were, my hair was also tied in two small pigtails at the back of my hair.
"Lushie, stop screaming, you're giving me a headache!" complained Happy, he was gleefully sitting on Natsu's chest,
"Shut it! You can't say much seeing as you're just a talking rat!" I snarled,
"NATSU LUSHIE'S BEING MEAN!" he whimpered.
"Luigi leave him alone!" scolded Natsu,
"IT'S LUCY!" I screamed,
"Sorry about the clothes Lucy, I sent Natsu out early this morning to get some clothes, but he decided to get some not-so-modest clothes for you Lucy, it seemed like he wanted to see some of your body, if you know what I mean?!" Igneel winked, my face started steaming up,
"W…what?" I stuttered,
"QUIT IT YOU PERVERT, GO BACK TO YOUR CAVE!" Natsu yelled jumping up, he grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the 'door' (which was basically just some boards stuck together with glue and nails).
"Good morning Natsu, oh who's this?" asked a girl with long white hair and bright blue eyes, she wore a long pink dress with a light pink satin material, around her waist and one her neck.
"Oh yea, this is Luigi!"
"LUCY!" I yelled, Mira tilted her head, "Oh sorry, Lucy, my name's Lucy Ashley, Natsu said for me to come here today!" I smiled,
"Well it's nice to meet you Lucy, my name's Mirajane!"
"OI ICE BASTARD, I'M COMING FOR YOU!" yelled Natsu as he ran off somewhere, 'what the?' I asked myself,
"Do you want to join Fairy Tail?" Mira offered, I nodded, "Okay, where do you want the insignia?" she asked,
"Can I have it on my right hand, and in pink?"
"Of course!" she found the stamp and dipped it in the permanent pink paint and stamped my right hand, "There you go, now you're officially a member of Fairy Tail!" she grinned
"Can I ask you something Mira, was Fairy Tail originally a magic guild?" I asked, Mira nodded,
"Yea, most magic guilds were disbanded and they abandoned each other, but we refused, no matter how many times the Magic Council, now the Anti-Magic Council asked, we wouldn't, one day we even raided the Conference Room, destroying it, and eventually they let us stay together, so, like some other guilds, we were turned into everyday shops, bars and restaurants, we own a bar, souvenir shop and we own a restaurant!" Mira explained,
"But what about Natsu, he has magic?" I asked,
"We've all sworn to keep that a secret, because if he was caught using his magic in the town, or in front of people other than members of Fairy Tail, and some of Lamia Scale and Blue Pegasus, then he might be killed, and we refuse to let that happen, but with no magic anymore, we can't really protect him, so we just have to stay silent!"
"He could die, no way!" I muttered, Mira leant down to whisper in my ear,
"So, you're Natsu's girlfriend eh?" she asked, my face flushed and I jumped backwards, waving my hands frantically.
"No, no nothing like that, I've only known him for two days now, we met at the Princess' birthday party, that's all!" I shouted,
"Now, now Lucy, no need to be embarrassed!" she cooed,
"No I'm really not his girlfrien–AHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I flew across the bar hall, and into a stool, "Oww!" I complained,
"Oh hello Gray, nice of you to drop in!" Mira giggled.
"Sorry, FLAME-BRAIN WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!" screamed a black haired boy, he picked me up into his arms, that was Gray, "You asshole!" he snarled at Natsu, Gray looked at me, "Hey aren't the Princess?"
"NO I'M NOT!" I yelled loudly, "My name's Lucy Ashley!"
"LET LUCY GO STRIPPER!" Natsu charged at the boy, 'Stripper, wait?' I looked down slowly and saw that Gray was naked,
"AHHHHH PERVERT!" I screamed, and kicked his face, knocking him out, he fell to the ground and I jumped away. But as he fell to the ground, I felt a darkened aura not far away, I reluctantly turned around and saw Juvia glaring at me from the window, I squealed, "J…J…Juvia!"
"Love rival!" she snarled, Juvia worked in Phantom Lord's piercing shop, along with 3 other men: Sol, Aria and Totomaru, and a few others.
"C'mon Juvia, we have to get back to work!" ordered Totomaru,
"So sad" whined Aria, Juvia glared daggers at me before walking away.
"Ha, great job Luigi, you killed the ice princess!" Natsu laughed,
"MY NAME IS LUCY, YOU HAD IT RIGHT YESTERDAY!" I yelled,
"Lucy-nee!" shouted a voice, I turned around to see Wendy and Levy sitting over by the bar, on Wendy's lap, was a small white cat, Carla. It was Wendy who had called me, I walked over to them.
"I didn't know you guys worked at Fairy Tail!?" I said, Levy nodded,
"Absolutely Lu-Chan, we work in the restaurant, along with Natsu, I didn't know you were talking about our Natsu here though!"
"I said 'Natsu Dragneel' I don't think there's many Natsu Dragneel's around here!"
"Oh, you told us his last name did you, huh, didn't realise!" Levy laughed awkwardly, so she basically meant she wasn't listening to me, nice to know I have friends who listen to my situations.
"Oh, sorry everyone, I have to go, my shift is starting, and I have to go early because I need to finish homework for the new school tomorrow!" Wendy explained,
"Are you sure you don't want any help? I'd love to help out Wendy!" I offered,
"Are you sure, I mean, you're a Princ-"
"SHHHHH, no one knows about that, and besides, I don't want them to!" I looked over my shoulder, I saw everyone laughing, drinking, fighting and looking so happy, I didn't want to ruin their fun, "They look so happy, they already have Natsu to protect, once word gets out that I'm missing, their fun will end, and they'll soon realise, and either try to protect me because I don't want to go back, or they'll actually go on another rampage, I've heard the rumours, Mira told me that they destroyed part of the Council, who knows what they'll do when the guards come after me!?" I looked down, 'Everyone around me looks so happy, and when they find out who I really am, who knows what'll happen?'
"We won't tell a soul, Lu-Chan!" Levy grinned, "You'll be just fine, you're dad locked you in your room, he'll probably send Virgo first, then he'll find out, but Virgo's on your side, she was your spirit when you were younger, so she'll always be there for you!"
"And if things then get out of hand, we'll call on the guild, don't worry, we're all here for you Lucy-san, and that also means Juvia!"
"Thanks guys!"
"I really have to go now, Lucy, are you coming?" asked Wendy, I nodded,
"Yeah!" I cheered,
"C'mon Carla!" Wendy said, as Carla jumped up on her hind legs and grew wings on her back.
"You never told me Carla was an Exceed!" Wendy nodded
"You never asked!" she replied, I sighed. "NATSU-SAN, IT'S OUR SHIFT, HURRY UP!" yelled Wendy as she ran out the doors, Natsu abandoned his fight with Gray and ran along behind us.
"AYE!"
"NATSU STOP EATING THE FOOD THAT'S FOR THE CUSTOMERS!" screamed a girl with short white hair and blue eyes, her name was Lisanna, Mira's younger sister.
"But itsh tashty!" Natsu complained with his mouth full of chicken,
"He likes to talk with his mouthful doesn't he?" I said to Wendy as we both sweat dropped, at the moment, Lisanna was yelling at him constantly.
"He sure does, good thing Lisanna-san has him under control!" I looked at Lisanna and Natsu, 'They seem to be pretty close, should I ask Wendy?' I pondered, "Lucy-san?" Wendy snapped me back to reality.
"Hey Wendy, who is Natsu to Lisanna, like what's their relationship?" I asked,
"They go out!" Wendy replied, I felt my mood drop,
"Oh" I muttered,
"You know I'm joking right?"
"Oh, yeah, course I knew!"
"Sure!" Wendy said sarcastically, "Lisanna has a boyfriend, but it's not Natsu, we've been trying to get Natsu a decent girlfriend, but they either think he's weird!"
"He is a bit though"
"A pervert!"
"He's definitely one!"
"Or just strange,"
"Don't really know how to respond to that one!?"
"Most girls won't go out with him because of his pink hair, his short temper, his dad being a dragon, or sometimes just because of his mannerisms. They all get scared of him, or they just think because he's from Fairy Tail, they shouldn't get involved with him, it's really sad, there's so many stereotypes about Fairy Tail, and about Natsu, and it's really pathetic!" Wendy snarled, she picked up a tray and slid some drinks on it, then she walked out of the kitchen and served a table. I picked up a tray and placed some drinks on mine, then I followed Wendy out, to the table she was serving. I placed the drinks on the table, there were ten people sitting there, I got out a notebook.
"What would you like to eat?"
I hung up the white puffy apron and dress as I got back into the clothes that Natsu bought, "I really enjoyed working today, maybe I'll join Mira in the bar tomorrow, hmm?" I asked myself, I tied my hair back up into two small pigtails.
"Hiya Lucy!" greeted a feminine voice
"AHHHHHH!" I screamed, Mira stared at me,
"What's wrong?" she asked,
"You scared me, that's what's wrong!"
"Sorry, here!" she held out her hand, I took it. "So, thinking of joining me in the bar tomorrow, we will be short of staff, seeing as Kinana is going on a date tomorrow, I'd love to have your help!"
"And I'd love to help you, tell Kinana I wish her a great date, I promise not to be late too!"
"Good, and I will!" she smiled, "Lucy, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, sure go ahead!"
"What do you think of Natsu, I know Wendy was telling you that we've been setting him up with tons of girls, and how they think he's weird, but what do you think of him?" she asked,
"Before I tell you my answer, can I ask why you're asking me this?" Mira nodded,
"It's only because, well Natsu's only close friends, who are girls are me, Wendy, Lisanna and Ezra, he hasn't many, he's always carefree and happy, but I've never seen him happier than when he's with you. Just ten minutes ago, he was complaining about you still working, he's currently waiting for you at the guild, and he asked me to check up on you, see if you were going to hurry up. He loves hanging around with you Lucy, even though it's just been two days since you met, he thinks of you as a friend he's had for years, most girls think he's strange, but you don't have that impression, so I just wanted to know if you felt the same, so Lucy, do you?"
"I honestly don't think Natsu's that bad. He's really kind, he's saved me from dying once, he let me stay at his house when I couldn't go back home, and he's not weird. So he has magic, so his dad's a dragon, that shouldn't make someone's view on him different. Yes he's different, he's the son if a dragon, that doesn't make him strange, that doesn't mean he's a bad person, if anything he's better than most boys, he danced with me when I was on my own, when I felt alone, and I needed a friend, he seemed to be there, so yeah, I do feel the same, I think, I haven't met many boys in my life, but the ones I have met, are either complete douchebags, or they're my cousin's friends, so I can't really speak from experience, but yeah, Natsu's nice, kind, there for me, so I do treasure him as a friend!" I told her, Mira's eyes were glistening with what looked like small tears.
"THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL LUCY," she held up her right hand "I MIRAJANE STRAUSS PROMISE TO MAKE SURE THAT NATSU AND LUCY STAY TOGETHER FOREVER, GET MARRIED AND HAVE NALU BABIES TOGETHER, BECAUSE NALU IS THE BEST!" she swore, "Excluding JeRza obviously, they're just as amazing" she added.
"M…M…Mira that's a bit much don't you think, the 'together' part isn't too bad, but marriage, babies, NaLu, you even have a shipping name for us, do you do this with everyone in the guild, or people from other guilds with ours?" I asked,
"Let's see, first things first there's NaLu, then JeRza, and GaLe, GrUvia, BixAnna, ElfGreen, RoWen, some people class me in MirAxus, hmmm? Yeah I do this with everyone, isn't it great?!" she smiled.
"Mira you need serious help!" I told her, I started walking out of the staff changing rooms.
"I do not, Lucy, you know you love him, DO NOT INTERVINE, MAVIS HAS ALREADY CHOSEN YOUR PATH, FOLLOW IT AND LOVE NATSU!" she screamed after me, I was gone already, but I could still hear her, I walked along the road to Fairy Tail's main building, the restaurant was the next street over from there.
"Mira-nee?" Lisanna asked as she saw Mira
"Looks like you will need a little push Lucy!" Mira started giggling menacingly, while Lisanna started cowering in the corner, Mira could get a little psycho when it came to romance, as I was just about to find out.
I opened the guild's door and saw Natsu arguing with Gray, while Erza was eating some strawberry cake, Levy was reading a book, Wendy was talking to Carla, while Carla was rejecting one of Happy's fish, walked over to them, "Hey everyone!" I sat down on a stool. I was greeted by Gray, Erza, Carla and Happy saying "Hey Lucy!"
Levy saying, "Hello Lu-Chan!"
Wendy, "Hi Lucy-san!" and Natsu, just ignored me.
"What's wrong with him?" I asked Levy,
"He's a bit down because you hadn't come back earlier and he heard that you're not working in the restaurant tomorrow Lu-Chan!" Levy explained,
"Sorry Natsu, but I promised Mira I'd help her tomorrow, Kinana's going on a date and she needs some extra help, maybe you could hang out with Lisanna?!"
"NOOOOO!" he whined, "She complains about me eating food!"
"That's because it's the customer's food!"
"Whatever I'm not mad about that, I'm mad that I'm not allowed to help!"
"I'm not surprised you did hospitalise Mira for a month last time, and you destroyed the guild, we had to rebuild it!" Erza said calmly.
"THE WHOLE GUILD DID HE USE THE DRAGON'S ROAR!?" I screamed, Erza shook her head.
"Nope, he just tried washing a glass mug and within a split second, poof! Mira's in hospital and the guild is up in flames!"
"Shut it!" snarled Natsu, Erza's aura darkened.
"What did you just say to me?" she growled, her eyes started glowing red, 'I thought that only happened in anime?'
"N…N…NOTHING!" stuttered Natsu.
"Here Erza, eat your cake!" Gray slid Erza's plate closer to her, to try and calm her down, which oddly enough it did.
"Hey guys, do you think it'd be alright if I slept at one of your houses tonight, I currently have nowhere to go!?"
"STAY AT MY HOUSE AGAIN LUCE!" shouted Natsu,
"Wait a minute Natsu, so Wendy and I live at Fairy Hills, along with Carla, Levy is expecting a visitor tonight!" Ezra explained,
"Well Levy-Chan's is out then, I will hit Gajeel next time, I swear!"
"I'm currently being stalked by someone called Juvia, I met her at the Princess' party!" Gray explained
"I apologise for my friend's madness Gray, she can get a bit like that. Not always but sometimes!" I sighed,
"I don't really think you'd like to stay with Mira, she has Lisanna and Elfman, who you've yet to meet" continued Wendy.
"MAN!" yelled someone from behind me, I screamed and fell off my chair.
"Speak of the devil!" Levy smiled, I looked up at the muscled man,
"My name's Elfman, AND I'M MAN!"
"Heh, yeah!" I trailed off, "I'm Lucy!"
"Hey aren't you Princess Lucy, Heartfillia of course!?" he asked,
"Is there something wrong with everyone, just last night my dad asked the same thing, geez, her name's Lucy Ashley, not Lucy Heartfillia, can everyone get that in their heads?" asked Natsu, he had not just a hint, but his entire voice was filled with annoyance. 'C'mon Luce, my dad will be expecting me home soon, and your sleeping on my couch again!" he lifted me up off the floor and grabbed my hand, practically dragging me out the doors of the guild.
"Natsu you're late! Oh hi Lucy!" Igneel greeted. I waved.
"Evening Igneel, Natsu invited me here again, if it's not a bother!"
"No, you're no bother, if anything you're a blessing, I was planning on cleaning the house today then I realised you cleaned it, you didn't have to by the way!"
"Oh no, it's just fine, if I'm going to stay here, I'll feel bad if I don't help out a bit!" I smiled
"So old man, watchya got for food?" asked Natsu
"This is why I wanted you home early, you have to go get some food, there's none here and Happy's eaten all the fish!" Igneel shouted, Natsu sighed,
"Can't Lucy do it?" he asked, 'Nice to know the guest does all the work here!' I thought, I didn't want to seem rude as I was sleeping here tonight.
"Son Lucy's not doing the work, she's out guest and she done the work last night, she cleaned your cesspit, so you'll find the food!"
"Fine, fine I'm going, wait here Luce!" Natsu told me before walked out the newly boarded door.
"Thank you again for letting me stay here Igneel, seeing as I can't go back to the castle, but I promise as soon as my dad realises I'm gone and sends out the guards I'll leave!" I exclaimed,
"Lucy if the guards come for you, I'm sure Natsu won't let you leave, knowing him, he'll keep you here until the guards have left, or until he's wiped out the lot of them, dragons are really protective, as are dragon slayers!"
"Thanks again Igneel, knowing that I have you, Natsu, and all of Fairy Tail to help me, I'll be okay!" Igneel grinned at me, I sat down on the couch and waited for Natsu…
Meanwhile at the castle…
"WHERE IS SHE, FIND HER, SOMEONE PHONE HER, WE HAVE TO FIND HER, JUDE'LL KILL US!" screamed Gemini, them and Virgo, Aries, Loke, Scorpio, Aquarius, Capricorn, Cancer, Taurus and Sagittarius were all frantic at my disappearance,
"No good, her phone's right here!" Virgo pick my phone off of the table and held it up.
"King Jude will fire us all, he might even sentence us to death, he's done that to someone before!" exclaimed Leo, he was holding a crying Aries,
"What'll we do? It's my fault Lucy-sama has disappeared, I stalled Jude when she first escaped, it's my fault we're all going to die, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'M SORRY!" wailed Aries.
"We have to find her before-" Loke was cut short, the door burst open, and an angry Jude Heartfillia emerged from the crowd of guards.
"WHERE IS LUCY!?"
