Author's Note:
Ohayou readers! I'm back, not going to do much writing at the top cause I want you guys to read, YEAH! No but seriously the information is at the bottom, all I really have to say up here is, I still do not own Fairy Tail, characters, powers, etc. Okay I'm done, and I'm going off to eat my cookies. Ja ne!
"WHERE IS LUCY!?" he bellowed, Aries flinched at his stern tone, Jude marched over to Aquarius "Do I have to ask again. Where. Is. Lucy!?" he spat at her,
"Like I know where that brat you call a princess is!" she replied sternly, Jude glared at her, but she just glared back.
"Look Jude, if she's not here-"
"SILENCE!" he growled, interrupting Capricorn,
"P…please don't hurt anyone, if you're going to hurt anyone, it should be me, I…I've helped her escape, if anyone's to blame… it's me!" Aries announced bravely, she walked out of Loke's grasp
"Aries-san!" gasped Gemini.
"Aries," this was Loke.
"YOU LET MY DAUGHTER ESCAPE I SHOULD KILL YOU FOR THAT!" Jude yelled, Aries was shivering, she was so scared, Jude gestured to the guards to come in, but Loke stepped in front of Aries.
"DON'T YOU WANT TO FIND LUCY, THEN SEND OUT A SEARCH PARTY, DO NOT TAKE IT OUT ON ANY OF US!" screamed Loke
"That's right!" agreed Virgo, "We've done nothing wrong, we want to find her as much as you do!"
"So then do something about King Jude-ebi, you are the KING after all-ebi!" joined Cancer
"We are! Cancer's right, if you want to find her, take matters into your own hands!"
"YEAH YOU ALWAYS TAKE THINGS OUT ON US, IF WE STILL HAD MAGIC WE WOULD'VE KILLED YOU WITH IT BY NOW!" yelled Taurus
"SO SOMEONE DESERVING OF THE THRONE WOULD GET IT! LUCY COULD TAKE THE THRONE-MOSHI!" added Sagittarius,
"YOU DON'T DESERVE THE THRONE, YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE KING, YOU TREAT EVERYONE LIKE YOUR TOYS, AND WE ALL KNOW WHY LUCY RAN AWAY!" Capricorn exclaimed
"BECAUSE SHE'S SICK OF LIVING WITH YOU!" they all shouted in perfect unison, Jude was taken aback by all 10 of the original Zodiacs stood up to him, he gritted his teeth, not knowing what to say, then he figured out.
"FINE THEN YOU'RE ALL FIRED, GOOD JOB FINDING A NEW JOB, WHEN WORD GETS OUT THAT THE KING FIRED YOU PATHETIC LOT, THEN YOU'LL NEVER FIND WORK AGAIN!" Loke crossed his arms,
"Well I know one place that will hire ANYONE, because they don't judge people, they all appreciate each other, and they won't fire each other, they stick together through thick and thin, c'mon guys, let's go, good luck finding people to replace us Jude, because when Lucy finds out we're gone, I'm sure she'll do something about it, c'mon Plue!" Loke exclaimed before picking up Plue, putting an arm around Aries and walking out with the rest of the Zodiacs.
"So where're we going nii-san?" asked Virgo
"It'll take a while to get there, seeing as we're going to have to find a place to go, but within a week we'll get there, because we're going to Fairy Tail!"
4 days later…
I stood by the bar and served a few beers to people, "Lucy, Natsu's order is ready, he requested that you take it to him!" Mira shouted from the kitchen,
"Okay, I'm coming!" I called to her as I carried the empty tray to her, "Isn't Natsu working today?" I asked, Mira shook her head
"He asked if he could take a day off, Master Makarov let him, but he has to work double tomorrow, he doesn't seem too happy about it, will you work with him in the restaurant please!" she begged, I smiled.
"I was planning on going to the restaurant to work tomorrow anyway, I never found out how Kinana's date went, she hasn't been in for 4 days now, I hope she's okay?!" said worriedly, Mia smiled
"She's fine, she's just spending time with her boyfriend; Cobra. She should be back by tomorrow!" Mira assured, I picked up the bowl of spicy ribs and chicken legs, raising an eyebrow to the meal.
"Does he always have such spicy food?" I asked,
"Yep, he is a fire mage after all!" she winked at me, I picked up a few extra meals on the tray and started walking out of the kitchen. "WAIT LUCY!" Mira yelled, I turned around,
"What is it?" she slid a pink letter onto the tray.
"I was asked to give this to Natsu, but I haven't seen what's inside, looks like a love letter!" she smiled, I was slightly intrigued, I wanted to read it, something was urging me it read it, but I couldn't.
"Umm, okay, I'll give it to him!" I put on a fake smile and gave out some of the drinks and meals, then I reached Natsu's table, he crossed his legs on the chair and he was having an argument with Happy.
"I CAN TOO BEAT THAT ICE CRAPPER, YOU WATCH ME!" Natsu yelled, and he stormed off somewhere,
"There he goes again!"
"Happy will you mind his food please, AND DON'T EAT ANY!" I yelled,
"Geez Lucy, you make me seem like some sort of scavenger!"
"YOU ARE!"
"Lucy!" exclaimed a voice, I jumped as I heard that scare-the-living-daylights-out-of-you voice of Erza's,
"H…hi E…Erza!" I stuttered, Erza stared at me, "What is it?" I asked, still shivering, 'damn she can be intimidating,' I thought, 'How is Jellal not scared of her?'
"Have you got my strawberry cake?" she asked in her sweet voice, I fell to the ground in disbelief, 'Did I just hear Erza's voice sound, sweet?' I tried saying, but I was utterly speechless.
"What's wrong Lucy?" I lifted my head up,
"You know what, if you break up Natsu and Gray's fight over there, I'll pay for your cake, okay!" I offered, Erza's eyes twinkles in delight,
"Of course!" she said in glee, then she turned around, caught a glance of Natsu and Gray and her cheerful aura was murdered, and an I'm-going-to-kill-you aura replaced it. She marched over to Natsu and Gray, knocked their heads together, killing them simultaneously, then dragging their corpses back to me, her eyes glowed a murderous red. "NOW!" she snarled, "Can I have my cake?" she asked sweetly, I swear I saw flowers around her.
"Yeah, but I didn't want you to kill them!"
"I have failed my mission, you can punish me now, I insist!" she offered, I just sweat dropped, I bent down with the pink letter in my hand and I placed it in Natsu's scarf, patting him on the head afterwards,
"There, there Natsu, I apologise for making Erza kill you, you too Gray!" I soothed before picking up the empty tray and walked back to the kitchen, to serve some more people.
"I enjoyed working the bar today Mira, but I think I'll stick to the restaurant, it's quieter!" I told Mira, it was cloaking time at the bar, but Fairy Tail was still open for another hour, so we were good.
"Hey Lucy, I forgot to ask, what was in that letter, you know the one Natsu was given?" she asked,
"Hmm, I don't know, I never asked!" I stuck my head out of the kitchen, "Hey Natsu!"
"Yeah Luce?"
"What was in that letter you were given today, the one I put in your scarf?" he raised an eyebrow, then loosened his scarf, pulling out the (still sealed) letter.
"Ooo! Look, a letter! I don't know, want to have a look?" he offered, I nodded, walking over to him, he yanked the letter open and stared at the paper, he seemed to be a bit confused.
"What is it, do you want me to read it?" I asked, he nodded, I unfolded the letter and started reading,
"'Dear Natsu, I'm sorry I'm writing a letter, as I know you can't read very well, but I'd like to tell you I love you," I read, I felt a small tug on my heart, there was more writing but I couldn't bring myself to read it, 'There's a girl, she loves Natsu, what does Natsu think about this, and why does my heart hurt when I think of Natsu with another girl?' I thought
"Luce, you okay?" asked Natsu, concerned, I snapped back,
"Oh, yeah, there's nothing much else here except that it's signed with a cursive 'L' at least I think it is, who do you know, who's name begins with L?" I asked, Natsu tapped his chin for a while.

Then, he got an idea!
"LAXUS!" he yelled, everyone surrounding him dropped to the ground,
"I MEANT A GIRL!" I screamed in his face, he scratched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly.
"I knew that!"
"Of course you did!" I replied sarcastically.
"Hmmm, there's Lisanna, Laki, Levy, you!" he answered, my cheeks tinted pink and I raised an eyebrow.
"Don't flatter yourself, I never wrote you anything!"
"Okay, then if not you, then who?" he asked, I shrugged,
"Levy's already going out with Gajeel, which I'm totally against but still. Lisanna has got a boyfriend, from what I've heard, so what about Laki?"
"Everyone's scared of her, she's ranked 3rd on the 'Top 10 Most Dangerous Women Alive' list, Mirajane being 2nd, and the demon in armour over there is 1st!" he answered, he pointed to Ezra, who was currently indulging in a strawberry cake, whole Jellal was passed out on the floor. I was shocked,
"Mirajane is 2nd, she seems so nice and sweet though."
"Understatement of the century, especially when you get involved with her ships!" Wendy chimed, joining in our conversation.
"Yes, she used to be a complete demon, before everyone lost their magic, I knew her before Wendy see, I'd met her somewhere, and I figured out that with her powers she could even rival Ezra, in fact, I'm sure as a kid she challenged her once, but it ended in a draw!" Carla explained,
"A tie?" I asked, Carla nodded, "That's surprising!"
"Can we get back to the letter?" Natsu interrupted,
"Oh yeah, Wendy, do you have any ideas who it could be from?" I asked,
"Well there is one girl I know, her name is Lucy!"
"You mean Lucy Heartfillia?" I asked, though I didn't need to ask, I knew her answer, Wendy nodded.
"Yes, I heard she has a little crush on you Natsu, she told me after her party!" Wendy smiled, I was behind Natsu, waving my hands in front of my face, gesturing to Wendy to stop, but she wouldn't. "Me and Lucy, isn't that right Lucy-nee?" she asked, I sighed,
"She said something like that!"
"A princess, fancy!" Natsu grinned,
"What are you thinking about, you pervert?" I asked, Natsu's grin widened.
"I don't know what you're talking about Lucy?!" he faked, I just glared at him.
"LUCY!" yelled 10 voices, I turned around to see my familiar friends standing by the entrance of the guild, and I also saw Plue in Loke's hands.
"EVERYONE!" I shouted excitedly, I ran up to them all, beaming, Plue jumped into my arms.
"Lucy, you're with Fairy Tail?" asked Capricorn, I nodded.
"Only for a couple of days now," I lowered my voice, so no one would hear me "Are you guys here to take me back?" I asked worriedly, they shook their heads.
"We're actually here to join, King Jude kicked us out-moshi!" explained Sagittarius, my eyes widened in shock.
"He kicked you out?" they all nodded.
"We managed to retrieve this for you, Lucy-sama!" Virgo handed me my phone,
"But, what about my father, is he coming for me?" I asked,
"He might, we don't know for sure, but all we do know is that if he catches us with you, he'll jump to conclusions, and sentence us to death-ebi!"
"I won't let that happen, don't worry!" I reassured, Mira walked over to us.
"Hello Loke, how have you been, it's been a while!" Mira chimed, clapping her hands.
"Mira, still as beautiful as ever!" Loke was trying to charm her, but it wasn't working.
"Do you want me to call Laxus to kill you, 'cause I will!" she threatened, still maintaining a sweet smile.
"N…No, no I just wanted to ask if we could join Fairy Tail, t…that's all, PLEASE DON'T CALL LAXUS!" Loke begged,
"Whoa, you scared Loke, good job Mira!" I congratulated.
"LOKE! IT COULD BE FROM LOKE!" Natsu screamed at the most inconvenient moment.
"ARE YOU A FREAKING IDIOT?!"
2 days later…
"I REALLLLLLLLLY want to find out who this letter is from!" Natsu complained, for the 50th time in the past half hour,
"Natsu, we aren't any closer to finding out who it's from, so will you just keep quiet for one minute please, it's been more than a day now that you've complained, so shut up and let us think!" I retorted, Levy had invited us over her house for a sleepover, but Natsu, Gray, Romeo, Jet, Droy and Gajeel just HAD to tag along, but Levy was going to make them go home when we were going to bed.
"But I really want to know, I could get a girlfriend, then MIRA OVER THERE could finally leave me alone!" Natsu protested, Mira giggled in the corner.
"I bet Mira knows who this is off and she's not telling us!" Wendy exclaimed, Romeo nodded in agreement.
"Mira-nee, please tell us, or at least tell me, I am your sister after all!" but Mira shook her head causing Lisanna to pout.
"I can't tell you, but if you ask me for answers I'll gladly give them to you, but it can't be 'Who is the letter from?' it must be something like: 'Is the person into the guild? Is it a boy or girl?' cause it might be a boy!" Levy tapped her chin
"Thinking about it, Freed likes men so there might be others!"
"You may be right Levy-Chan, Juvia what do you think, huh? Juvia?" I asked, but she was sitting on Levy's bed gripping Gray's arm while he tried to get free. "GRAY GET SOME CLOTHES ON!"
"CRAP NOT AGAIN!" Gray went rummaging through Levy's drawers
"In the second drawer, on the right!" Levy instructed, and Gray soon found the clothes, and got them on.
"Do you always keep spare clothes for Gray Levy-Chan?" I asked, Levy nodded.
"She does, we always hang around at Levy's house, and it's just a habit now!" Erza explained, joining our little conversation, I sweat dropped.
"Remind me to not tell you guys where I live when I buy my own house!" I sighed.
"CAN WE GET BACK TO THE LETTER, THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON WE'RE HERE ISN'T IT?!" Natsu bellowed, getting really pissed off now!"
"No, the reason we're here is because we're sleeping over Levy's and you're going home after!"
"I'm getting bored, I'll give you a clue, it is a girl in the guild!" Mira smiled,
"What about the end of the letter, is it an 'L' or and 'R' cause it looks a bit like both?" asked Lisanna.
"I'm not answering that, but I will tell you this also, she doesn't have a boyfriend!"
"Well, it's obvious now!" Natsu announced, we all stared at him in confusion,
"You already figured it out?" I asked, Natsu nodded, he pointed at me.
"It's you!"
.
.
.
.
.
"EHHHHHHHHHHH?" everyone screamed, including me, while Natsu just stared and Mira grinned.
"NATSU FIGURED IT OUT!" she chimed,
"BUT I DIDN'T WRITE THE LETTER!" I screamed at her, she nodded.
"SO LUCY DIDNLT WRITE TO LETTER THEN WHO DID?" Natsu screamed in annoyance, we all sweat dropped, I tuned to Mira, glaring. She knew I wanted an explanation, so she was going to give me one.
"I know, I know Lucy, but I thought you needed a little helping hand in your relationship, so I wrote the letter myself, you wouldn't write it yourself so…" she trailed off.
"Explains why it was such bad handwriting, we couldn't decipher the cursive letter!" Gray stated, Mira's eyes were welling up with mini tears, and she went over in a corner and cried, why I was trying to contain my anger,
"Oh look, bunny girl's getting angry!" Gajeel laughed, I pulled the lamp out of the socket and I actually threw it this time, causing him to fall backwards out of the window.
"Bulls eye!" I chuckled to myself, Levy ran over to the window to check on Gajeel, but she saw something much, much different.
"Guys, you going to want to see this, especially you Lu-Chan!" we all rushed to the window, I was surprised at the sight, there were hundreds, thousands of guards walking down the street, one of them was questioning Gajeel, I saw him glance up at me for a split second, then he sighed and gave the guard an answer. After the guard left he walked back into Levy's house, we all ran downstairs to see him.
"What did they ask?" Levy asked, Gajeel sighed.
"They asked if I had any info on where Princess Lucy is, she's gone missing!"
"What did you tell them?" I asked, a bit scared. I never, EVER, wanted to go back to the castle, because going back meant no more friends, no more freedom, and I'd probably be welcomed home with a row, and someone showing up in my room, a man my father was expecting me to marry, before I turned 21, so before my coronation, when my father steps down that is.
"I told them, that I didn't even know her, let alone, know where she was!" I sighed in relief,
"Thank Mavis!"
"Where do you think she could be? You guys are friend with her, and you're her cousin Lucy!" Natsu said. I shook my head.
"I have no clue where she is, all I know is that for now, she's safe, because what I do know, is that she's with a guild, with people who'll protect her, at least I think they will!" I said
"Well, what do you think will happen to the people who've been protecting her?" asked Wendy
"I, I have no clue, but I doubt it'll be good, I'll have to tell her soon, but for now I don't think we need to worry, I'm going to bed, I'm tired today, and I'm going to look for a house tomorrow!" I exclaimed, trying to get everyone off the topic, I walked back into Levy's room and lay on my sleeping blanket.
"Luce, does that mean no more sleepovers for us?" Natsu asked sadly, I nodded, "Then can I at least sleep here tonight, or I'll find your house and sleep there, us dragons have great noses!"
"Ask Levy, it's her house!"
"LEVY-CHAN!" Natsu begged. But Levy was adamant, she was NOT having a boy sleep in her house, although Gajeel hat slept there hundreds of times before.
"No!" she yelled.
"Got any kiwis?" asked a voice, I looked to see a black exceed sitting on his shoulder.
"There's too many of those animals around!" I said.
"Levy! Why is Gajeel allowed to sleep here tonight, if Gajeel stays, Natsu stays for Lucy, AND GRAY-SAMA FOR JUVIA!" Juvia screamed, Levy sighed
"There's no coaxing Juvia when it comes to love is it?" Juvia shook her head, and Levy gave in. "Okay then, the boys can stay, but my parents are coming back in the morning, so if you boys are all still here by 10 then I'll murder you all, Erza, you'll help me won't you?" Erza nodded.
"I haven't killed anyone in a while, Jellal won't let me, so it should be fun!"
"I get more and more scared of you every day Erza, you know that?" I exclaimed, Erza raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, really?" she go down on her knees and bowed down
"Eh?"
"I APOLOGISE LUCY-SAMA PLEASE PUNISH ME!" she begged, I screamed a bit at first but in the end, I ended up lightly tapping her on the head and calling that her punishment.
"Guys I'm seriously tired now, night!" I said before lying on top of my sleeping blanket, which was a huge mistake. Sometime after most of the girls fell asleep, I felt something warm against my back, then the warmth engulfed my whole body, I thought it was a another blanket, but turns out, it was just a pervert.
"Mmmm, Lucy" Natsu sighed happily, as soon as I felt his hand grope my left breast my face turned so red it could rival Erza's hair, and I snapped.
"YOU PERVERT!" and after that the night was peaceful, with a fazed Natsu flying over the moon.
Author's Note:
This chapter was a bit rushed because I actually want to get into the story, and it only took me 3 days to write, but it wouldn't let me upload it (damned thing). But anyway the NaLu will start kicking in soon enough, I'm crap at writing romance scenes, let alone kiss scenes, and I honestly CANNOT deal with sex scenes so none of that here (if a story is rated M its probably cause of the violence, I like writing those sort of things 😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁) but anyway, review of you're still reading, and I will be back soon (right now I am halfway through chapter 7) Sayonara minna!
