Chapter 6: Bail
"Hey shrimp...Anyone can see right through your plan y'know" Gajeel commented to Levy as he stood in front of her cell protectively, covering Natsu's shift for the day. Levy glared at him. She hated being called short. "I don't know what you ever so mean" Levy replied in an innocent tone. "Geh, quit the act Shrimp. Besides, When Natsu comes back, Lucy is going to be here too!" Gajeel told Levy. Levy growled. "She WILL TOO escape!" Levy exclaimed while she now faced Gajeel in the eyes. She was holding on to the bars and was 5 inches close to his face. Gajeel smirked and leaned in, they were now 3 inches apart.
"Oh yea Shrimp?" Gajeel added as he tried to intimate her. There forehead's were now touching. Both were glaring fiercely at each other through the bars. "Care to make it a bet?" Gajeel asked. "Why not?" Levy challenged.
"If I win, you have to do the cleaning duty with me for the WHOLE prison." Gajeel exclaimed. "If you lose, you have to throw away that guitar!" Levy confronted. The guitar was Gajeel's pride, but to Levy, it was a nuisance when going to sleep for her and Lucy.
"Ahem" A voice coughed. Gajeel and Levy both turned to look at Lucy, who cleared her throat, by Natsu. Lucy had a bulky jacket over her and was holding a stuffed dog, while Natsu had a couple of punches and bruises here and there, he was also holding a stuffed animal. "Are we interrupting something?" Lucy asked as they both stared wide-eyed at Levy and Gajeel.
Levy and Gajeel immediately looked at each other. From Natsu's and Lucy's point of view, it sure look liked they were about to kiss and that the glaring looked more like gazing into each others eyes. They immediately backed away from each other. Gajeel turned around and looked intently away from the pairs of eyes watching him. It was obvious he was trying to hide a blush. "I win" He muttered before stalking off. Levy was in the back of her cell, a light dab of blush covered her cheeks. "Damn you" She mumbled.
"Thanks for the trip Natsu! I had a fun! Except at the Ferris wheel." Lucy commented with a real genuine smile. "No problem, let's do it again some time!" Natsu replied. He did have fun, despite being punched in the face for barfing on her clothes.
Lucy clutched on to her Plue doll tighter. If this was normal, this would be were she got walked home. If this was normal, she would've been a date. If this was normal, she would've gotten a good-night kiss... STOP IT LUCY! She forced herself to not think like that. It was just a day at the festival. A boy and a girl hanging out. Completely a normal hangout.
"Bye!" Natsu said as he began to walk away from her and towards his bedroom. "...bye..." Lucy whispered to him even though he could probably not hear her. "Lu-chan?" Levy asked to Lucy who looked like she was yearning for the pink-haired guard back. "LU-CHAN!" Levy exclaimed. Lucy finally snapped out of her daze. "Huh? What happened Levy?" Lucy asked, a bit jumpy from being brought back to reality. "Lu-chan..." Levy said, her tone serious.
"Hmm?"
"Do you like Natsu?" Levy asked.
"EEEEHHHH?" Lucy exclaimed. Her face quickly reddened.
"Tch...about time you knew!" A feminine voice called out. "Poor, poor Lucy." Another called out.
"Who are you?" Levy and Lucy yelled in unison.
"Name's Cana...I'm in the cell next to yours. Your not the only prisoner here too y'know." Cana yelled. "Even though prison sucks, it's nice I have a live action drama show. Right guys?" Cana shouted. Sounds of approvals were heard.
"Eh! My life is NOT a drama show!" Lucy exclaimed to all of them.
"But what about your love life with Natsu?" Levy pointed out, a bunch of ' ooooh's ' were heard. Lucy began to fluster up. "I...erm...egh" Lucy felt like she didn't know how to speak. "Natsu has a girlfriend!" Lucy managed to strike out.
"This show keeps on getting better and better!" Cana shouted.
"So your saying, if he didn't have a girlfriend, you would go out with him?" Levy cunningly asked.
"NO! THAT'S NOT IT!" Lucy exclaimed. She would get teased on forever. She then realized something that might save her.
"But Levy..What about you and Gajeel, you looked like you and Gajeel were having a moment there" Lucy slyly told Levy. Levy began to blush. The teasing directed away from Lucy and towards Levy. As Levy tried to stop the rumors going on about her, Lucy went to her bunk bed. She lied down and covered the blankets over herself. She didn't love him. She couldn't love him. It was awful to fall in love with the enemy.
…
"Lucy...Luce...Luig-" Natsu called out as he began to shake Lucy awake. The moment Natsu was about to say 'Luigi' a fist came in contact with his face. Lucy arose from her bunk bed and yawned. "What is it Natsu?" Lucy asked and then began to scan the room for a certain bluenette. "Where's Levy?" She added.
Natsu gave a small frown. "Levy went to go help Gajeel clean the prison..." He paused. Lucy knew something was off. "What's wrong Natsu?" Lucy asked worriedly. "Well Lucy..." Natsu started.

"You got bailed"
…
Lucy and Natsu strode down the hallway, lined with cells. It was awkward. We didn't bother to pretend we will see each other again. Or at least Lucy thought so. Natsu's mind was in a different world.
They finally reached into the lobby. Natsu looked at the man who bailed out Lucy. He was sitting in a chair and Mirajane was waiting at the front desk, she also had a small frown and narrowed eyes. The man was tall, rich-looking, and have blonde hair. Natsu turned to face Lucy. Her face was utterly horrified.
"Lucy..." The man said as he took notice of Lucy's appearance and began to walk his way towards her. Lucy took a step back. "F-Father! What are you doing here?" Lucy asked, her eyes remained wide. Natsu finally knew it was Lucy's father.
"I've come to take you back Lucy...Honestly, what were you thinking! Running away to go fight a foolish war. You are a lady, not a ruffian. Now let's go. Your wedding has been put off for too long now! Sting is growing impatient, now hurry up! You know how long it took to locate you?" Jude yelled. Natsu could feel Lucy tremble, he didn't like this man. Yet, Natsu widened from this new information. Lucy was engaged to a guy named Sting.
"I am not going to marry him! We never even talked and he mistreated my friends. What makes you think I would get together with him?" Lucy snapped back. (I find this funny cause it is true in the anime/manga as well.)
"It doesn't matter what you want Lucy. It has already been decided anyway's. Now let's go!" Jude shouted as he began to grab Lucy's hand, gripping it so hard Lucy shrieked in pain. "The limo is waiting for us. The marriage will happen two days from now." Jude calmly explained. He proceeded to drag Lucy out the front door but Lucy began to resist. "Immature ruffian! You could have anything you want!". "I want freedom!" Lucy snapped back.
Natsu appeared and grabbed a hold of Jude's wrist, which was holding Lucy's hand. "That's not how you treat family sir." Natsu said. "Shut up, you lousy maggot. Learn your place!" Jude replied, his face burned with fury.
"I am Natsu Dragneel. Son of Igneel Dragneel." Natsu stated his tone serious. "Your funny. Why would a successful man be working here?!" Jude sneered. As if on que, Gray and Erza came rushing in and took a hold of Natsu. Pulling him back.
"We will take our leave from this prison." Jude announced. Lucy screamed and Jude proceeded to get out an injection needle. He stabbed it into Lucy, and Lucy stopped resisting. She was drugged. This got Natsu even more enraged. "LET ME GO!" Natsu screamed as he tried to get a lose on Gray and Erza's grip.
After 15 minutes, Natsu calmed down and went to his bunker. He flopped on his bed and grabbed his stuffed cat, Happy.
"What am I going to do Happy? With everyone?" He asked the doll. He pulled the string. Instead of saying the usual "Aye sir!" Happy replied with something else.
"Me!" The stuffed cat piped up.
Natsu thought about it for a while as he clutched the doll tighter. He found his answer. He was going to make everyone like the stuffed cat, and to do that, he had to save Lucy.
He was going to make everyone happy.
