A/N Well here is part four and this takes place like two days after that last chapter. This chapter is Lucy centric and it is a confrontation between her and her dad.

When Lucy was summoned to her father's office she knew nothing good could happen. The only time Jude wanted to talk to her was to punish her or talk business. It was possibly the former since she snuck out and took his card for the day. Or because Natsu came over a few hours despite him being at work. The walk was agonizingly slow as Lucy shuffled down the stairs of her house to reach Jude's large office on the first floor. Despite living in one of the largest and most cities in the country, the Heartfillia's still managed to get a two story house close to most businesses. The sound of her own feet on the tile jolted Lucy out of her thoughts. In front of her were two ornately crafted wooden door. Carefully putting a closed fist on the door, Lucy knocked twice.

"Enter." Jude's voice was muffled through the doors but Lucy still knew to open the door. Her posture was perfect as she stalked towards the mahogany desk. Behind it was an old man with slick blond hair. A large computer was off to the side for business.

"You requested my presence father?" Lucy asked calmly. If she showed any signs of having done something wrong then Jude would pick up on it. The man couldn't care less about his daughter but he always knew when she was hiding information.

"Yes I did. Come look at this. It's a nice man who just turned nineteen. His father has a monopoly on all airways. Doesn't he seem great? If we merged companies just imagine the wealth. Too bad his father wants to keep things in the family. At least he isn't against a marriage…" Jude said slyly while pushing a file over to his daughter.

"An arranged marriage? Father doesn't that seem a bit archaic?" Lucy responded instantly. Ever since she turned fifteen her father had been trying to get her into an arranged marriage for business. Her answer was always no but Lucy had a sinking feeling in her gut that a marriage was already confirmed for her. It was just a matter of time until Jude said that there wasn't a choice. Luckily Lucy only had four months left until she was a legal adult and could leave.

"Don't be like that Lucy! An arranged marriage would be great for you." Jude coaxed.

"No. I have work to do so if you would please excuse me." Lucy dismissed herself before rushing out of the room with tears threatening to spill. Every time she went in there something bad happened. Lucy was almost hoping that he would talk about something bad she did just because that meant that Jude actually noticed her. When she entered the room Lucy flopped down on her bed. The tears began to fall onto her white pillows. Shaking her head Lucy sat up slowly.

"I won't let that jerk bring me down!" Lucy murmured to herself with determination layering her tone. The walk to her desk felt like it flew by as Lucy opened her laptop and clicked the Skype application. Next to the name she wanted was a small green dot. It took her all of two seconds to navigate the mouse pad and click down on their name. The familiar chime sounded for a few seconds as Lucy walked her computer out to the balcony. Balancing the MacBook on her legs, she flopped down on the small pink couch. The request was accepted and a kind face showed up on the screen.

"Hey Natsu…. Can we talk a second?"
