The Perfect Plan

Chapter 3: Green's a Bad Color

Makarov read over Natsu and Lucy's wedding agreement with a wide, toothy grin. They both said they did not want an actually wedding, so this paper would have to do. Although, seeing Lucy's body in a form fitting wedding dress would make the older man smile from ear to ear. Expecially those boobs of her, he wiggled his eyebrows at his wild imagination.

Once he signed the envelope and placed the letter in his briefcase, he moved on to other necessary things. The old man walked to the door, sticking his head out and began waving to his secretary.

The silver haired beauty looked up from her computer, beaming at her boss."What is it Master?" she asked, giggling at the carefree man she worked for. "Mira-chan, can you get Erza on the phone for me?" he said in a childlike voice. She nodded and picked up her phone.

Makarov disappeared back into his office, hands folded behind him as he glanced at the large amount of pictures on his wall. Most were of Natsu and his cousins, none of which knew how to smile for a picture it seemed. There was one of Sting and Natsu, laughing as children while Igneel and Weisslogia (AN: He is the Dragon in Fairy Tail who raised Sting. Told ya I did my research.) stood behind them, laughing as well.

The largest one was one of Igneel and him in front of the sky scrapper that would become Fairy Tail Enterprises, smiling toothy grins and holding up gang signs. There was one of the company's logo beside it, Makarov picked the name while Igneel did his best to still tie in the Dragons influence on the company.

The Dragons, Makarov's face hardened thinking about the twisted group that Natsu was unfortunately bound too. The power hungry family who would turn on their own kind if a profit could be made in the end. Natsu and his cousins were the next to inherit the companies one all the Dragons past, and now Lucy was pulled into the mess too.

"Riiiiiiinnnnngggg." Makarov walked to his phone and picked it up. "Master? What is it? You know I'm-"

"Natsu got married." He said cutting the woman off. The other line went silent for a second before he heard her scoff in disbelief. "I'm sorry Master, could you repeat that for me? The waves are pretty loud here."

Makarov smiled, stroking his facial hair in pride, "Natsu just got married. Less than a week ago, actually." Again, the line went silent. "Is she a prostitute?" she asked and Makarov could just see the eyebrows raised in questioning. "I'll explain later, I just need a favor..."

~o~o~o~

"Why do I have to live with you?" Lucy whined as she watched the numbers light up above her indicating the floors that the elevator is passing. "Why do you have to have so much shit?" Natsu countered, glaring at her from behind four cardboard boxes full of Lucy's clothes. "Why is your hair pink?" she spat back, cocking her hip.

Natsu didn't answer, understanding her point of its inevitable for a girl to have a shit load of clothes like it was inevitable for him to have pink hair. Lucy watched the numbers, anticipating the number in which the machine would stop on.

Three days ago, Lucy and Makarov went to her father and proposed the marriage to him, in which he had no complaints. He happily wed off his daughter since it meant he could have money again. When Lucy was gathering up her things, her father did do something unexpected; he clasped a gold necklace around her neck, the same one her mother always wore. "Come home soon, Lucy." he had said before disappearing from her room.

Lucy nervously fingered the craftsmanship of the necklace, the small sapphire dangling from the end was the one thing the family vowed to never sell since it was so close to their beloved Layla. Natsu glanced over at his newly wed wife, dark eyes peering down at the necklace.

"If you're going to stare at my chest, you should do it more discretely." Lucy spat out of her mouth, looking at him with dangerous brown eyes.

"Ha," he began, "like I need to stare at you. Hell, you're pretty confident in your looks, aren't you blondie?" The pink haired man rose an eyebrow at her, noticing she had crossed her arms under her chest and pushed up on her chest. She had the most innocent look on her face. His dark eyes darted from her coffee ones to her chest, "Pervert." Lucy purred, shoving him away from her.

The elevator stopped on the 16th floor and Lucy let her imagination run wild. What did his house look like? What was the color scheme? What was the décor? Were there artifacts from other parts to the world? Were there pictures of other woman around his house? When the door opened, it made a distinctive noise, exposing the most disgusting house Lucy had ever laid eyes on.

"Oh my god." the blonde tried to hold down her breakfast as the smell of rotting food and dirty laundry invaded her senses. "I'm going to throw up." she admitted in a airy voice, her eyes darting to the empty pizza boxes, piles and piles of clothes and dishes that relaxed on the couch.

"It's not that bad." Natsu said dropping her boxes by the door and picking up a piece of pizza, smelling it before shrugging. "Looks fine to me." he said before shoving the rotten food in his mouth. Lucy shrieked, jumping away from Natsu. "Gross!"

The pink haired man shrugged as he ran his hands through her hair, taking it out of it's gelled state into the messy, free flying form. Lucy had to admit, he looked better like that. The blonde watched her husband as he stepped over piles of garbage and stopped at a clothes pile.

"How can you live here? It's like a toxic waste dump." Lucy said as she carefully walked to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator. Empty. "Do you eat anything?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at her husband. "I usually eat out with Makarov or other business men. I rarely eat at home." he said nonchalantly, taking off his tie and throwing it on the ground.

Lucy shook her head as he disappeared into a room. She let out a sigh of disbelief, stepping away from the kitchen to walk around the apartment. The long leather couch was decorated with dark pink and red pillows, a dark mahogany coffee table a foot or two away from the furniture.

Decorating the walls were dozens upon dozens of pictures. One of the portraits that caught her eyes was one of a woman with long, pale salmon colored hair holding a small baby to her face, tears flowing from her large green eyes. The young woman was hooked up to large machine, obviously clinging to life after the assumed childbirth. A sudden stab of discomfort hit Lucy, remembering seeing her mother hooked up to machines that beeped and hummed. I wonder if Natsu lost his mother too...

The loud noise of Natsu shutting his door woke Lucy from her daze, her eyes traveling to watch her newly wed husband step inot the disastrous room, wearing a casual gray t-shirt and black jeans with a strange white scaled scarf around his neck. The blonde rose an eyebrow as he smelt it, smiling softly before meeting her gaze. "What?" he asked as if it was normal to smell scarfs.

"Nothing." she answered, walking to the couch and leaning against the frame. Her eyes traveled back to the refrigerator, sighing, "I guess I'll go out and buy some groceries...I think I need some fresh air after being in here anyways." Lucy went to grab her purse but Natsu toke it before she could reach it. "I'll go out. I need to pick something up anyways." Lucy protested, trying to reach her purse, but due to their height difference of 5'6" and 6'1" she was unable to get it.

"Natsu!" she shouted, clawing desperately for her purse, jumping to try and match his height. "You want it?" he asked, smirking with his canines present. "Fetch!" he said throwing it into a pile of boxes across the room. Before Lucy could save it from the filth, Natsu had already left.

"Asshole!" Lucy shouted, shaking her fist in the air. She scowled in defeat before looking around the house and shrugging. She was left with no choice.

~o~o~o~

"All done!" Lucy said with her large chest swelled in pride as she rubbed her sore hand. She had spent the last 2 hours cleaning the apartment and it looked brand new. All the garbage thrown out and floors scrubbed until they sparkled. "Good job, Lucy." she patted herself on the back before setting the cleaning supplies back into the bathroom.

The elevator rang, "Wow, I can see the floor for once!" Lucy looked out of the bathroom door seeing Natsu's black coat lightly covered with snow, his cheeks red and his hands inside thin gloves. "Is it cold outside?" Lucy asked as she walked out of the bathroom, taking the bags from Natsu.

"Not really, I just had to stand outside for a while because it toke the lady longer than I thought it would for these." Lucy looked up from the paper bags, seeing Natsu pull out a bouquet of snapdragon flowers from under his coat (AN: I know I called them Dragon snappers last chapter, but they are actually called Snapdragon flowers). "Aw, damn they're withering! Water, I need water!"

Lucy watched as Natsu pulled down a beautifully crafted vase and filled it with tap water. He set each flower in the water carefully before looking at Lucy, cheeks still red. "I saw you staring at the ones I have in my office so I decided to get you some. It's kinda like a 'Welcome Home' present. I hope that's okay."

Lucy stared at the crimson flowers, she couldn't remember the last time she was given flowers. "T-thank you." she said, touching one of the petals, pinching the bud and watching open like a dragon's mouth. Natsu watched her with a blank expression on his face, not noticing the hint of pink on her cheeks. "Well, I'm gonna take a bath first." he said with a casual shrug of his shoulders.

Lucy waited for the bathroom door to close before letting out the breath that got caught in her throat. "Why did he...?" This would not be a marriage for love. Lucy glared at the flowers, such a gesture could be taken the wrong way if it was any other girl. But since it was Lucy, she didn't take it that way at all. "They are beautiful though." she said, smiling softly.

Stop it Lucy, she mentally slapped herself in the face, he's just doing this to show off. This marriage is for his goal, nothing more, nothing less. This is for his company. Lucy couldn't help but feel a tug at her heart strings as she traced one of the fragile flowers with her delicate hands. Is this what it feels like to be married?

The blonde turned away from the flowers and continued putting the food away.

After clearing one of the bags, she found the other was full of several things of cat food, a cat toy and a small bag of cat nip. "Aye." Lucy lifted her coffee colored eyes to gaze up at a small cat staring at her from across the counter. A small blue cat.

"Aye?" it meowed again, tilting its head slightly, eyes looking down at the food before back at Lucy. Lucy held her hand out to the cat and began stroking it's chin, "I'm guessing it's been a while since you've been fed, huh?"

"Oh, I see you've met Happy." Natsu said as he rubbed his pink locks with a towel with one hand and fastened one around his waist. Lucy looked up at him about to speak, only to find herself lost for words.

Even from afar, it had to of been the best shaped abdomen Lucy had ever seen in her life. This had to of been the first time she had seen some flex their muscles by simply breathing. Even the ones in movies didn't compare to Natsu's finely carved muscles that morphed his crisp, tan skin. His pectoral muscles were pertruding out of his water dappled skin while his biceps flexed with every movement his arm toke. "What?" he asked, looking down at himself, "Do I have something on me?" He spun around like a dog chasing his tail, Oh god, his back is a toned as his front!

Lucy left Happy meowing on the counter, running past Natsu, hiding her red face. "I'm going to bed. Busy, busy day tomorrow, g'night!" she shouted from the guest room after she shut the door behind her. Lucy put a hand on her pounding chest, sliding down the door and collapsing to the floor. "What have I signed up for?"

~o~o~o~

"You look terrible!" Lisanna gasped in horror as Lucy sat down at her cubical, sighing in comfort at the familiar seat. "Gee, thanks Lisanna." she said in a sarcastic voice as she pulled her makeup back out of her purse. "She's right, Lu-chan, you look tired and kinda...sluggish this morning."

The blonde waved the two girls off, they had no idea the kind of morning this girl had. Not only did Natsu walk into the bathroom while she was showing, Happy just had to claw almost all of her nice blouses and pencil skirts. She managed to save a plain blue button up shirt and a black skirt from the buttom of her box.

The blonde sighed as she applied her usual makeup routine. About mid-swipe of mascara she heard her two friends fight off giggles. Lucy turned to face them, seeing Levy pointing right at Lucy, holding back laughter. "What?" Lucy asked.

"You got...uh...something on your..." Lucy raised her hand to where Lisanna was pointing on her own face. The blonde pulled whatever was on her face off, realizing what it was in an instant. Cat food.

"Is that cat food?" Levy asked, pinching her nose at the fishy smell. "Yeah, I guess it is." Lucy answered, throwing it in the garbage and rubbing her hands clean with hand sanitizer. It must have been from this morning, Lucy thought as she remembered running around the apartment with Natsu as they tried to catch Happy.

"Since when do you have a cat? Isn't your dad allergic or something?" Lisanna asked, raising an eyebrow before sipping her coffee. "Maybe Lu-chan was at a boyfriend's house last night. Maybe Lu-chan has a boyfriend!" Levy gasped, blushing at the thought. Lisanna scoffed, "Yeah, right. I forgot about all those boys chasing her." Lucy turned to her desk and rested her head on her crossed arms, closing her eyes trying to ignore her friends as they laughed off the idea of Lucy having a boyfriend.

When Mirajane walked to the three girl's cubical, Lucy was mentally begging the beauty to take her away from her friends. "Lucy, Mr. Dragneel wishes to see you, again." Lucy was half way to his office before Lisanna could open her mouth.

Lucy spent a few moments outside the large oak door, tracing the carvings with her fingers before knocking. By the third knock, the door knob turned and the door flew open. Lucy was stunned to stare right at the enormous chest of a beautiful red haired woman."This is her? This your wife" the woman asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes Erza, now please close my door. I don't need the whole world knowing about this marriage." Natsu answered, not looking up from his computer. "Forgive me, Mrs. Dragneel, I just...find it odd that Natsu would marry so soon. Especially to someone so...plain." Lucy blinked, looking down at herself before the red head stepped aside from the doorway. The blonde entered the room, her eyes darting to the red dragon snappers on the far table before going back to Natsu and Erza.

Erza Scarlet was absolutely stunning. Her long, pin straight hair was tied in a tight ponytail that stayed in a pefect line straight down her back. Her curvacious body was hugged tight by a black blazer over a lace blouse. The pencil skirt she wore would make any man drop to his knees in front of her only to find themeselves gawking at a pair of three inch stilettos. She was threatening, confident, beautiful and work appropriate all in one.

Natsu raised an eyebrow at how quite his wife was being. "Lucy? Are you alright?" he asked, leaning back in his chair. Erza noticed the concern in her friend's eyes as he watched the blonde shift under comfortably. "Mr. Dragneel, that paperwork is due today, let's get it done as soon as possible, shall we?" Erza said, pushing her metal rimmed glasses closer to her face. "R-right, of course Erza."

The blonde shifted from one heel to the other, "Natsu, why did you call me in here?" she asked softly after hearing him begin his typing again. "Oh right," he stood from his desk, "Lucy, this is Erza Scarlet, Makarov sent her here to make sure this marriage of ours stays secret. The last thing I need is for people to know that I married an employee."

Lucy felt as if she had been shot in the stomach. "Oh, okay." she turned to leave, head cast down. This wasn't the first time she dealt with the emotion of disappointment, but it was her first with Natsu. It felt stronger, more painful than with her father. "I won't be home for dinner." Natsu added, not even bothering to look up from his paperwork, "have dinner with Erza, Makarov and a client. You understand, right?"

"I got it." she snapped before opening the door and slamming it behind her.

~o~o~o~

Lucy scowled into her palm as she watched Natsu and Erza walk across the office together. Natsu was listening with a frown and a bored expression on his face while Erza smacked him with a rolled up piece of paper, scolding him.

"She's so beautiful." Levy said in awe, her brown eyes wide as her and Lisanna peered out from the cubicle's walls to watch the couple walk by. "He's so handsome." Lisanna added, gawking at the pink haired president, "Don't you think so Lucy?"

"No." Lucy said bluntly before turning back to her computer. Looking weakly at the picture of her mother, Lucy managed to smile. "I think they look good together. Shes so tall and beautiful!" Levy added, making Lucy's smile fall instantly.

The silverette frowned, flicking Lucy on the forehead. "Green's a bad color for you, Lucy." The blonde met her friend's eyes, mentally cursing at the fact that she could be read like an open book. "I don't know what you're talking about." Lucy retorted, standing up from her chair and walking away, leaving her friends speechless.

The blonde walked to the bathroom, splashing water in her face. Calm down Lucy, you're letting this Erza chick get to you, you're better than this, Lucy reassured herself, smiling at herself in the mirror. Plain, ha! I'll show her, she thought as she let her tight bun out, her long golden locks cascade down her shoulders. Her confidence shot up as she smiled at the beautiful blonde in the mirror.

"Mrs. Dragneel, what are you doing in here?" Erza asked as she entered the bathroom. "Erza!" Lucy squeaked, watched the red haired beauty walk to the sink beside her. "Please forgive me if seemed rude this morning, I just found it quite a shock that Natsu was married, especially to someone so..."

"Plain." Lucy finished her sentence for her, spitting out the word as if it was poison. Erza stared at her for a moment before nodding. "Exactly. Oh, and you should tie your hair up, it's quite unsightly for the work place." Lucy was the first to leave the bathroom, turning down a deserted corner and leaning against the wall.

Plain, Lucy frowned at the word. Erza was right, she wasn't anything special. No wonder she doubts Lucy and Natsu's marriage. The blonde toke her time getting back to her cubical, fastening her hair into a loose side pony tail. She frowned, noticing everyone had gone out for lunch. She noticed a green sticky note hanging from her computer screen.

Meet us at Lamia Scale Cafe. We'll wait for you - Lisanna & Levy

Lucy smiled and tore off the sticky note, revealing another one below it.

Lucy, Mr. Dragneel asked you to retrieve documents from the basement. He needs them before the end of lunch – Erza Scarlet

Lucy groaned, even her handwriting was beautiful! Her coffee colored eyes looked at the clock, eventually squinting to see it was already 12:13. "Damn." Lucy grabbed her black pea coat and her purse before heading to the elevator. "Fucking Natsu, why doesn't he get Erza to do his shit for him. I'm not his wife here." she mumbled to herself, pressing the first floor buttom of the elevator.

If she found this document within ten minutes, she would make it just in time to place a order for take out. Lisanna and Levy were probably going to harass her about Natsu or how she's been so secretive lately, but she couldn't tell them what was going on. At least, not yet.

The elevator stopped on the first floor, making Lucy have to take the stairs down to the basement. "I'm going to ring out that man's neck when I see him." she snarled, flicking on the light and seeing the towers and towers of boxes and filing cabinets. "Damn."

~o~o~o~

Natsu looked at his watch before tapping his fingers angrily on the desk in front of him. That damned woman was doing this to spite him. Natsu stood, taking off his blazer and throwing it in his chair before walking to his door and leaving his office, not noticing he left his cell phone back at his desk.

He walked out to the cubical section of his company, searching around for some clues on which one was Lucy's. He stopped at one with a stainless steel picture frame glistening in the office light. Inside the frame was a picture of a beautiful woman with long blonde hair and large brown eyes.

Lucy?, Natsu thought but when he got a closer view, he noticed the woman was holding a small baby in her arms. A baby he automatically recognized as Lucy. The pink haired man stared at the picture before carefully setting it down. He noticed the two stick notes that were place on her desk.

The sound of her phone vibrating on the desk caught his attention. Lisanna. He stared at the phone, if he answered, she would question why he had Lucy's phone. Without Erza, he was a bad liar. He decided to ignore it. "Wait a minute." His sudden epiphany made him run to the elevator. Lisanna wouldn't be calling Lucy if she was with her! She must be in the basement.

Natsu smiled at his brain power as he pressed the 1st floor button.

~o~o~o~

"I'm going to fucking kill him!" Lucy shouted from behind several boxes of papers. "These papers probably don't even existence! This is probably a test" The blonde kicked a box in her rage, looking down at her watch. 12:46.

"Ugh, I left my phone on my desk so I can't call Lisanna or Levy. They're going to kill me!" she whined, clawing at her hair. In the silence, Lucy heard a strange sound. A sound that sounded like someone inhaling...

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN DOING DOWN HERE?!" Natsu shouted from a few feet behind Lucy, making the blonde jump, tripping forward into a array of boxes. "What the hell is wrong with you?" she shouted back, putting her hand on her chest I shock.

He crossed his arms over his chest in his defense, "I asked you a question first." He's such a child!, Lucy glared at him. "I have been trying to find your damn paperwork, which I should tell you, does not exist!" The pink haired man returned the glare, taking the sticky note she was waving in his face. He read over Erza's wishes.

Lucy watched as he walked straight to a filing cabinet, and pulled out a baize file. "Here." he said holding it out to her. The blonde shoved his hand away from her, grabbing her coat and purse and stomping away to the closed door.

"Where do you think you're going?" he growled, following after her. "What does it look like? I'm-" she yanked on the door. Nothing happened. "It's locked." she mumbled, pulling a few more times just to make sure it was stuck. "What did you say? I can't understand you when you mumble." The man said from right behind her.

"It's locked!" she shouted back at him, slamming her forehead on the metal door. "What?" Natsu asked, pushing her aside as he started pulling on the door. "Shit." he finally said, his arms dropping to his side. "What does that mean exactly?" Lucy hissed, folding her arms across her chest.

Natsu turned to face her, running his hands through his gelled hair, messing it up unintentionally. "It mean's that we're stuck."

~o~o~o~

Natsu and Lucy sat against themselves against a filing cabinet, sharing sips of Natsu's orange juice he managed to steal from Levy's cubical. "She won't mind." he said with a shrug.

Lucy glanced at her husband, "Why don't you just call Erza?" the tone of her voice caught Natsu's attention. He patted his pants pocket, frowning slightly. "I don't have my phone on me. If I did I would call Erza, what about it?"

Lucy shrugged, turning away from his gaze. Before he could say anything, it suddenly got dark. "Ugh, it looks like Elfman forgot to check the wiring down here, it's such an old-" he stopped abruptly, looking down at the hand that was now clasped onto his button up shirt. Natsu's brows creased together, peering down at the delicate hand belonging to the shaking girl beside him. "Lucy...?" The blonde's body might've been visibly shaking but her voice was still strong. "What?" she spat, gripping the cloth tightly between her fingers.

Natsu scowled, wrapping one of his arms around her shoulders and pulling her close to him. "I didn't know you were afraid of the dark." he mused, smirking in the darkness. Lucy punched him in the side, making him let out a playful 'ow', "Shut up. I'm not afraid of the dark."

Not even Lisanna knew of the time that her parents went out for dinner and left Lucy alone with intentions of a babysitter coming. Her parent's never got the call about the baby sitter bailing so Lucy, at age 4, was left alone while a hurricane warning went through the town.

They came back to find her shaking while sitting in the corner of the living room, pale as a snowy day. Layla swore to Lucy she would never have to be alone in the dark ever again.

Lucy found the silence oddly comforting, even in the dark. Natsu was producing so mush body heat it was warming her up like he was a furnance. The blonde found herself leaning into the warmth, sighing in comfort, swearing she felt his grip on her tighten as well. Maybe Natsu was afraid of somethings too...

"Are you jealous of Erza?" Natsu asked nonchalantly. Lucy looked up at him, her eyes wide, "N-no! Why would I be? I mean, she is beautiful, and smart, and closer to you than I am..." Lucy trailed off, leaving Natsu's smile widen in the dark.

"Everyone thinks you two are fucking." she added last minute, making the pink haired man's smile fall. "WHAT?!" he shouted, jumping away from her. His eyes had adjusted enough to see her close her pair of chocolately colored orbs and hug herself at the loss of is touch. He frowned and toke her in his arms again, feeling her sigh in comfort and relax her body.

"It's obvious," she said, leaning into his touch again, "you guys look good together." Natsu scoffed and turned away from Lucy. "Yeah, I'll fuck Erza when hell freezes over." Lucy opened her eyes at this, looking up at him and pulling away from his comfort to kneel in front of him.

"What?" she asked, her eyebrows raised in surprise. "I said I'll fuck Erza when hell freezes over. Until then, I'll give that right to her husband." The blonde felt her mouth drop into a O shape. "H-husband? But, why is she so protective of you and rude towards me?" Natsu chuckled and ran his finger through his hair, knowingly messing it up even more.

"Erza has been married for three years, they just had their anniversary last week. Anyways, Erza is like a sister to me, I've never looked at her in that way." Lucy felt her face go hot with embarrassment. She accused her husband of openly having an affair with someone who was like a sister to him. "Oh, and she thinks I married a gold digger, that's why she doesn't like you. Our dinner tonight is when Makarov and I are going to explain our marriage to her."

She could barely see his face in the darkness, but the young woman just knew he was wearing his famous grin. This type of Natsu was the one she could potentially get a long with, maybe even fall in love with.

"I'm sorry for accusing you." she said softly clenching the rim of her pencil skirt. "Hey, look at me." he lifted her chin to look at her face. "With us being married, that means you have to trust me, okay?" Lucy stared at him and for a moment forgot she was in the dark, locked in a room and starving to death.

Natsu leaned closer to Lucy, feeling her cool breath on his face. His hands untied the ponytail, gripping the looses locks and bring her face closer to his. "Natsu..." Lucy sighed, her hands gripping the fabric of his shirt, pulling herself closer as well.

Their noses brushed together and as if on cue, the door slammed open revealing the red head staring straight at the couple. "Natsu?" she asked, squinting her eyes trying to make out the figures in the dark. "Erza! I am so happy to see you!" Natsu said standing up, smiling from ear to ear.

Lucy remained sitting, her eyes wide and her hand glued of her chest. Was he going to kiss me? She could hear Erza scolding Natsu in the background, even the sound of his being tossed into some filing cabinets, but she couldn't find the ability to care. Her heart had never pulsed at this speed before, it actually scared her a bit. She looked up at her husband, for once happy that the lights were out so he couldn't see the blush on her face.

Natsu rubbed his head, whining in pain before noticing the still sitting Lucy. Her husband helped her hand and brushed off the dirt from her gray blouse before taking the file from her hands. "Are you okay?" she nodded, eyes cast down to the floor, "You may return to work, Miss Heartfilia."

Lucy nodded, running past Erza and disappearing down the hall. The red head watched the blonde run before turning to look at her boss, a thin eyebrow raised. "Everything alright, Mr. Dragneel?" The watched the younger man raise a hand to his hair and slick it back with a smile present on his face.

"Yes Erza, everything's fine." he said picking up the file from the ground and looking it over. "We sent out Sabertooth Inc. weapons last month to Fiore's army base, why do we need this?" he asked, raising an eyebrow to is secretary. "We don't." she mused before turning away from him and began walking off.

Natsu stood there, dumbfounded for a moment for shouting after her with a faint blush on his cheeks.

AN: I spent all day writing this chapter. I tried making Erza not bitchy, but looking out for Natsu since she has no idea who Lucy was. How would you act if your best friend got married to a complete stranger, I don't know about you, but I'd be on the fence about the whole thing. She will lighten up and actually become very important in the outcome of this story.

I feel pretty good about how I wrote this, in a different draft, I had Natsu and Lucy kiss but I like this version better. Now the tension at home will be greater then before hahahaha! And I don't know about you guys, but snapdragon flowers (I've heard them be called Dragon snappers too) are my favorite flowers and I think it's perfect that Natsu would buy Lucy some. If Hiro Mashima did that in the manga, I'd cry tears of joy :)

Now as you see I mentioned Sabertooth Inc., and yes, this is another company in Magnolia. Not all of the guilds in the manga Fairy Tail will be major corporations, as you read with the Blue Pegasus Lounge and the Lamia Scale Cafe. Only a choice few will be companies, you'll just have to wait to find out which ones.

Don't forget to review and favorite! Until next time my pretties- Akaasha
