Chapter 3

"Anti-social old git." He whispers His grin vanishing for a few seconds. "Now what would you like little girl" he says as his characteristic smile returns.

"Who was that!" she mumbles still shaking.

"We do not speak his name!" The shop assistant heaves.

"What's his name?" She replies, the corny statement making her voice sarcastic.

"We do not speak it!" He heaves once more. "Now are you going to buy something, or are you going to ask stupid question."He bellows while twiddling his moustache.

'It's only stupid to you, because you know' Lucy thought, hitting her head with her palm. "fine!"

She finally looks around the keys section. There was Pegasus, Lynx, Draco, Vela and Phoenix they were the expensive ones. Two she had Crux and Lyra. Finally she found the one she really wanted and it was quite affordable- Canis Minor.

"How much is this one?"

"Oh the Canis Minor huh. Hmmm I'd say about 20,000 jewels."

'That much' she thought turning around and biting her finger nails.

'There's only one solution.' Hitting her hand with her fist Lucy turns around flipping her hair.

"Are you sure Al. You don't mind me calling you Al? Right?"

"N-no of c-course" he stammers taken aback by the evident flirting.

"Why don't we take that price down a notch." She sits on the counter lowering her cleavage, and fluttering her eyes at him. His nose starts to bleed and he falls over.

"Fine! 18,000 I won't go no lower" He replies from the floor. Luckily this was on the higher end of her budget with 1,000 to spare. She takes it and leaves throwing her money on the counter. After another acquaintance with the dreaded rechargeable mop and other should be inanimate objects. She leaves shop scratched and bruised, to find a mysterious man with a green coat and sun glasses staring at her like she was the new witch idol. 'not another stalker' she thinks quite put out. She walks towards him slowly like you would if your saw an angry rhinoceros escape from the zoo. Then quicker then a flash he's gone with a blue and gold light strip left in his wake.

"Ok. This is seriously a freaky day " She says aloud in an almost secluded street except for an old women.

"You keep talking to yourself people are going to think you're crazy."

"Ya thanks for the heads up" Lucy yells angrily at the women.

"I wasn't talking to you" the old women says waddling off leaving Lucy confused 'but that means you were talking to yourself' she mentally says looking disbelieving.
