Oh, and if you guys were wondering, there is going to be action in this story too, idk yet, but it may get graphic with the action. I want to get this chapter in before going on break for a week because of vacation. Hopefully there aren't too many spelling errors, and if there are, please don't kill yourself over my own mistakes. Nobody's perfect lol

And whoa this is a long chapter... 3,000 words!

Chapter 4:

"This dorm is gonna be too big without you... I have to decorate it all by myself. Hopefully everyone's nice. And did you hear? 'Cause this place has 'connections', I was able to leave my old job without having to give in a notice. Plus, we are allowed to leave this place, but I have to stay here a bit longer until my radar dies down... Plus, we're in a completely different town, we're on a mountain on the outskirts of Magnolia if I'm correct."

Lucy listened on to Levy's rambling with a smile on her face, holding on to the big suitcase she was given which she know's nothing of it's containment. She just hoped it wasn't filled with weapons. She was about to get on a private jet with Natsu and get flown to who knows where. Supposedly it was going to be constant too. Lucy sighed to herself as she and Levy exited the room.

"And it was so nice of Erza and Mira to get me some new clothes- Hey, you're gonna be alright, okay?" Levy reassured Lucy as they were escorted by someone who happened to work at Fairy Tail to the runway inside of the mountain.

The way the headquarters was laid, it was partially sticking out of the mountain, that was for the helicopter pad to be able to come and go and the rest of the building was built in to the mountian. The runway led out to an opening in the mountain that had a controlled gate, to close or open it.

When they got to the runway, they saw a private white jet with red outlines. Lucy could see Natsu and the man Lucy remembered as Gray hauling some more luggage on to the jet, while a girl she'd never seen before with a lighter blue shade of hair than Levy's and long wavy locks helped by handing them luggage.

She seemed really happy whenever Gray would take some from her.

"Lucy." Apon hearing her name, the two girls turned their head, seeing Erza and Mira standing there, along with Gajeel. Mira rushed up to Lucy and hugged her softly.

"Be safe okay? And if Natsu does anything, just tell me and I'll kill him." Erza said calmly beside Mirajane as she and Gajeel walked up. Lucy smiled awkwardly while holding on to Mira.

"O-Okay?"

"Don't worry, it wont be long until we see each other again!" Mira sang cheerfully, but when she pulled away, her face was covered in tears.

"A-Ah, Mira! Are you okay!?" Lucy panicked, watching as the white-haired beauty just smiled back at her.

"She's okay. She's just not that great with goodbye's," Gajeel laughed, placing a hand ontop of Mira's head. Levy looked at him, "So why are you over here?" Gajeel laughed, smirking at her.

"Because starting today, little Shrimp, we are officially partners." Levy stared at him before turning to Erza. "Is it too late to still be able to quit?" Gajeel wrapped his arm around her shoulder, pulling her away.

"Na-ah, I'm not letting you go anywhere. I've been waiting for a partner and I'm not gonna let her go that easily." Gajeel smirked at her. At his words, she couldn't help but blush, in a way, it was sort of romantic.

"Does every agent have a partner?" Lucy asked while watching Gajeel mess with Levy. Erza nodded, placing her hands on her hip.

"That's right, you see that girl over there helping Natsu and Gray? That's Juvia, she's Gray's partner, whenever an agent and specialized assistant have a high compatibility rating, they get selected to work together." Erza explained as the three turned their heads to watch them.

Lucy watched Natsu come out of the jet, smiling and chuckling at something Gray must've said. They seemed to be really good friends, she felt bad that they were gonna seperate because of her.

"...Who's Natsu's partner?"

"Lisanna! When she and Natsu don't have a mission, she's usually in the café with me," Lucy turned to Mira looking perplexed. "But I thought you and her were retired agents." Mira nodded with a smile, leaning on her heel.

"Yeah, but she's pretty good at what she does now too. Plus her and Natsu have a very high compatibility... They're very close." Mira smiled softly, almost lovingly when she spoke of the two together. Something inside Lucy couldn't help but scream jealousy when she thought about it. Did he have a higher compatibility to Lisanna than he did her? Lucy looked away from him.

"Speaking of Lisanna, where is she?" Lucy inquired, looking for said girl.

"She's holding down the café for me until I return." Mira informed, earning a nod from Lucy. They seemed to be done loading the jet and Lucy started heading over slowly with Levy and the others who tagged along. Gajeel still had his arm slung around Levy's shoulder, it looked like she had given up a while ago. From what Lucy could see, she actually seemed pretty happy to be partners with Gajeel.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye for now," Lucy sighed and looked at Levy once they arrived to the jet. Levy nodded, giving her a brief hug before pulling away. "Make sure you get some souvenirs for me." Levy added, making Lucy laugh.

"I'll make sure to get you something from everywhere I go," Lucy smiled, still holding on to Levy's hands before parting. Before Lucy stepped on the stairs, she turned her head over to Gajeel. "Take care of Levy okay, she's very important to me. If you even let one thing happen to her, I'm coming for you." Lucy tried to sound as threatening as possible. Gajeel smiled, unfazed.

"Like hell I'm gonna let anything happen to my partner." He laughed while using her head as an armrest.

Lucy nodded and handed Natsu her case, then taking his hand as he helped her up the steep steps. when she got into the jet, her mouth dropped. It was so extravagant, the interior of the jet was a soft beige color and the seats were comfy and reclinable. It looked like a small living room in here. In the back corner were cases filled with something and to the right, lead to a small kitchen with a bathroom on the side. There was a flat screen TV in the front before you entered the pilot's cabin.

"Who's piloting?" Lucy asked. Natsu walked over to a chair, slumping into it while she sat across from him, looking out the window and waving at Levy, watching as they all backed away from the plane.

"No one. It's remotely controlled from the headquarters. It's just you and me in this thing." Natsu spoke calmly but Lucy's heart began beating a mile a minute. 'Just you and me.', those words kept replaying in her head. Her alone in a private jet, with a super hot secret agent for a bodyguard? She didn't know if she could contain herself.

Natsu watched her scrunched up face in odd entertainment. "What are you doing?" He asked in interest. Lucy stopped herself and leaned against her arm, looking out the window as the jet started moving down the runway.

"N-nothing... I'm just not used to flying." She lied. Of course she was, she used to have to get on them all the time when her father had business meetings, events, or parties that were somewhere on earthland, but they were never close by, and she was always dragged to them.

"Huh. That's weird, I thought you would've been on them a lot 'cause of your father... But you're gonna have to get used to it quick since we're gonna be on this thing a lot." Natsu added, copying her position and staring out the window once they flew out the mountain. There was snow everywhere outside.

Lucy glanced at Natsu in curiousity, he looked bored while he stared out the window. Bored yet beautiful. Lucy shook her head out of her thoughts. She couldn't let the whole ride be like this; awkward. They're going to have to get to know each other since they're gonna be together for a while.

"...So... How'd you become an agent for Fairy Tail?" She asked, honestly interested. Natsu looked at her for a moment, making her a little uncomfortable. Why did he always do that? It was as if he was staring into her soul, or trying to figure out what she was thinking.

"My father used to be an agent here, I started training here when I was 17. My father died on a mission a year later, this place has been my family ever since." Lucy watched him carefully, trying to make sure she didn't pull a string on this topic.

"Oh..." She didn't know what to say, she probably just made it even more awkward for them. It was quiet again until Lucy stole another glance at him; something popped up in her mind.

"Ah, how old are you Natsu?" Lucy had actually been wondering this for a while, since he looked close to her age. She needed to find some topic to get them out of this tense atmosphere.

"I'll be turning 25 next September," Lucy nodded, he was just over a year older than her. He returned his curious gaze to her. "What about you?" Lucy blushed slightly, she didn't want him to think of himself as her superior when she told him her age.

"I'm 23 for now, I'll be turning 24 this July." It wasn't that far away since it was already the begining of January. Natsu smirked at Lucy, making her sigh.

"That means I'm-"

"Yes, I know, you're older than me. So what." Natsu laughed at her, making her huff.

"Why are you asking so many questions anyway?"

"That was only two and because I thought we should get to know each other. I want to trust you." Lucy mumbled. Natsu watched her, his eyes wide from what she said.

"You mean you don't trust me right now?" Lucy turned her head to him, glaring.

"That's because you shot me with a dart!"

"Oh come on! You're still upset about that? That was like a week ago!"

"No it wasn't! It was four days ago! I thought you were a pretty cool guy when you saved me from falling, but I changed my mind after you tried to shoot me with a gun, give me amnesia, and then end up shooting me with a sleep dart!" Lucy yelled at him, making him gawk at her.

"I didn't know it was you the first time! Or when I tried to give you amnesia! It's not like you were just gonna come with us willingly. Besides, you know how heavy you are, I had to carry the whole time besides when we were in a vehicle!" Lucy's face flamed.

"I. Am. Not. Heavy! And maybe if you guys had just explained to me what the hell was going on, I would've been more than willing to!"

The two looked away from each other angrily, acting like children. They sat there in a comfortable silence after that, or atleast tried to. Lucy was fuming while she glared out the window. How were they compatible? They couldn't even get along without arguing with one another. She huffed looking at the clouds from the window.

"Where are we going?" Lucy asked, some irritation still left in her voice.

Natsu shrugged. "Wherever they land us," Lucy watched Natsu's bored face as he began flipping through channels on the TV, Lucy's only been on a few jets that actually had really good wifi and satellite. She wondered if he was thinking about Lisanna right now. Probably. Mira did say they were close, she wondered how much though.

"What are you thinking about?" She asked, watching him shrug again, making her become a little annoyed.

"Stuff." Lucy huffed, she wasn't getting anywhere with this guy. She really did want to get to know him, she felt left out since everyone else that she met seemed to be close to him. Lucy then wondered how Lisanna was, hopefully she wasn't mad at her for needing to have Natsu of all people as a bodyguard.

"Sorry about this," Natsu looked down from the TV to the blonde sitting across from him. "About what?" He asked, confused and still probably irritated like her. Lucy sighed, leaning against the window again.

"For... Dragging you in to all of this. I'm pretty sure you'd rather be at the headquarters right now with your friends..." Lucy murmured. Natsu sighed in comfort, leaning back into his chair to get comfortable.

"Well, you're not wrong about that," He agreed, not noticing how Lucy looked down in embarrassment. "But, it's something that I wanted to do. Not just because of our compatibility, but because... When I first met you, I felt drawn to want to know you more before all the chaos broke loose. You're a very kind person, and I want to protect you."

Lucy looked up at him from where she sulked, noticing how he avoided eye-contact with her, he must've been embarrassed saying that. Lucy blushed, laughing. "What are you laughing at!?" Natsu yelled, making Lucy quiet to a giggle.

"Thank you Natsu. I really want to get to know you too. It's just... Whenever we talk, we always seem to get into some kind of argument, so I was just a little worried that we would end up not liking each other." Lucy smiled, feeling cheered up and reenergized after what he had just said to her a moment ago.

Natsu's face tinted a light shade of pink, but Lucy didn't notice because of his tanner skin tone. For the rest of the ride, they actually did sit in a comfortable silence, conversing here and there, but it was only small talk. But, even though it was small talk, it still made Lucy happy that they were finally even able to talk at all without arguing.

Soon enough, the jet was landing. When the doors opened, Lucy was welcomed by what seemed to be a different agent headquarters. An old man dressed in woman's clothing and makeup took her hand, helping her down.

"Hello, Ms. Heartfilia, welcome to Blue Pegasus, I'm the head for this headquarters, but you can just call me Bob. Don't fret now, we are alliances with Fairy Tail." Lucy found herself relaxing at her words while Natsu walked off with his and her personal luggage.

"I recieved a message that you two will need to stay here for about two days before you really set off, your jet needed to get worked on before the big take off. Makarov finally knows by now that our agency has better mechanics than even some professional ones you may have heard of" He smiled at Lucy while Natsu just stared at the old man weirdly. Lucy lifted a brow. Big take off?

"I'm sure you two must be tired after your long trip, I'll have you escorted to your room." Bob smiled before grabbing his phone and texting someone. After he did that, he smiled once more and then excused himself to attend to some "important" matters. Wait, she was sharing a room with Natsu?

Moments later, a young man around Natsu's age, maybe older, came into the runway that was somewhat similar to Fairy Tail's."Hello, young beauty. I'm Hibiki, and I'll be escorting you to your room." He smiled at her, grabbing her hand and kissing it. Lucy blushed and began feeling uncomfortable when he didn't move from his position, she looked at Natsu and he seemed to have taken the hint.

He grabbed Hibiki's head and just pushed him off, catching both him and Lucy by surprise.

"What the hell was that!?" Lucy whispered over to Natsu once Hibiki started guiding them through the massively different building. Natsu just smirked and shrugged, "Hey, he moved, didn't he?" Well yeah, but he didn't have to be so straight forward about it though...

Blue Pegasus was more... Colorful on the interior, Lucy wondered if they even took their job seriously. They arrived at a lavender door, it was a little helpful since every single door was a different color or shade, so she could find it easier if she ever left the room.

"This will be your room, and if you are hungry, you can call the chef from our personal phone book and you can get something." Natsu's stomach growled at his words while he opened the door, letting Lucy in first before following after with their luggage. Lucy stared at them.

"Wasn't there more lugagge on the jet?"

"Yeah, but those were just filled with weapons and stuff," Natsu said casually, placing her stuff by her bed and the same for his. "I feel like this place is more of a hotel than a secret agency... This place always gives me the creeps whenever I'm over here." Natsu muttered, grabbing the phone and ordering a shitload of food.

"Uhh, don't you think that's a little too much for us?" Natsu looked up at her.

"No, why?"

"Never mind..."
