Sadly, I do NOT own any of Hiro Mashimas' work, only the O.C's that come later!
(Lucy's P.O.V)
"Sup, Blondie. Do you need anything?" Laxus asked, while towering over me with his huge body.
"What right do you have to call me blondie, especially when your blonde too?" I questioned him quite irritated and putting a finger in the middle of his chest.
He smirked at my countered response and said, "OK, good point, so anyway…do I know you at all?" Laxus said with a confused and questionable face.
"Well duh, we WERE both part of the same guild, Fairy Tail, until you got excommunicated and I quit; so what are you doing in Hargeon?" I asked him.
He was inspecting me for a minute just trying to remember me until he had finally said, "WAAAIIITT, now I remember you! You're the Heartfilia chick that was with us during the Phantom Lord War when that Guild Master Jose wanted to kidnap you. Also, you were here during the Battle of Fairy Tail and turned to stone due to Ever's attack and also you defeated Bixlow! Now that makes sense. Plus, I'm here training so I can become even stronger." He said
"Wait, arent you already strong enough?" I asked confused.
Eh, its better to be stronger than weaker… But earlier, did you say that you quit Fairy Tail? What is all THAT about; I thought those Fairy Weaklings considered you their nakama and family out of all things." Laxus said in a rather serious tone now.
"Great observation skills! I QUIT Fairy Tail because I was ignored by my so called 'family' for 3 months straight since Lisanna returned back, then that stupid Salamander kicked me off the team just because I was a replacement for her and later broke my heart when they told me that they're in a relationship." I said to the also former mage of Fairy Tail.
"LISANNA IS BACK! That is good news, everyone was very sad when she died about two years ago on a mission. Well, I guess that most people were right. They did have a special kind of connection when they were younger. I mean they even played house all the time and had Happy as their child." Laxus said while trying to recover the memory of the couple.
"Wow, that really helps a broken heart trying to mend." I said sarcastically to Laxus, who had then realized his mistake.
"Anyway, when I went to get my guild mark removed my Master Makarov and exited the door, they surrounded me as soon as they could, and I ended up fighting all of Team Natsu. It was a good thing that I took care of them because I know that I would be on their bad sides if I had left without telling them. I just made quite the impression before leaving. So that's what happened to me." I said when finishing up my story.
"So you took on Flamehead, Ice Cube, and Titania and WON! Wow, you're waaayy stronger than I had originally thought, Blondie!" Laxus said impressed.
I puffed out my cheeks due to my new nickname before saying, "Again with the nickname Laxus? Anyway, nice to meet you, but I do have stuff to do." Then, I turned around and started walking until I felt a strong hand grabbed my wrist and stop me in my tracks.
"Wait a second, why don't I help and show you around town?" Laxus asked me with pleading eyes.
I thought his request over and replied, "Hmmm….sure, why not!"
We then walked around the town looking at stores, restaurants, and parks until we walked towards a magic shop. I looked up at the sign and it said, 'Haru's Magic Shop'.
As we walked in, we were greeted by the owner named Haru. He was a medium sized man around his late 60's with silver spiked hair and purple eyes, wearing blue jeans and a green shirt with the shop logo on the top right.
"Hello and welcome to Haru's Magic Shop! How may I help the wonderful couple today?" Haru had said while whirling and twirling around his shop.
"We are NOT a couple!" Laxus and I both said simultaneously to the crazy old geezer.
"Sure, Sure, so what can I get for you today?" He asked while getting behind his desk.
I spoke up to the man and said, "Do you happen to have any Celestial Spirit gate keys that I can add to my collection?"
"OH YES, YOUNG LADY! Also, you're lucky, I got these ordered just yesterday so BRAND NEW!" Haru spoke as he took out a box that was underneath his desk.
He was NOT kidding at all, inside of the box were about 30 or even 40 silver gate keys. I scanned through the box and found 3 silver keys that caught my eye the most.
First is the silver key Pyxis. Pyxis is also known as the Compass Key. It can indicate what direction that their master or owner is going while on a journey. It has beady white eyes, a circular body, small feet, and big wings that represent a bird.
Second is the silver key Caelum. Caelum is also known as the Chisel key. It's a robotic sphere with some halo-like ring at the top of its head along with one silver cannon that can activate when in a battle.
Finally is the silver key Appolis. Once known as a powerful god stellar spirit that specializes in music, healing, sun (light), poetry, and archery. He is a 20 year old looking man with a white toga that has a bright orange belt around his waist. He has brown eyes and black hair with tan skin. Honestly, he looks pretty damn good looking, that he can compete with the lion spirit, Loke.
"So how much for these 3 keys?" I asked very politely to the elderly man.
"That would be 75,000 jewels for these keys, PLEEEAASSEE!" Haru said. (EQUALS $750 in AMERICA)
I quickly looked to my right where Laxus was and gave him the, 'I-don't-have-that-kind-of-cash' look.
He bent down to my head and whispered, "Use your sex appeal."
In my head I'm saying, 'THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY?!' But I nodded my head and walked up to Haru while swaying my hips back and forth. I then go on top of his desk and make my head go closer to his ear and whisper seductively, "I bet you can lower the amount just a bit, now cant you?"
"Nice try but I'm a married man with Elie as my wife…however for your effort, I'll give you a 1,000 discount!" Haru had said with a smirk, while I hung my head low, and Laxus shook his head in disappointment.
I jumped off of his desk and walked back to Laxus who whispered in my ear, "Time for Plan B."
"What the hell is Plan B!" I whispered quietly back at him.
"Just sit back and watch, BLONDIE!" He said with a chuckle when he saw my face puff up again due to the nickname that I received from him.
Laxus walked slowly to the desk with volts of electricity flowing and surrounding his entire body causing Haru and I to shudder in fear of the blonde man.
"Now, would you want to give the little blondie a bigger discount?" Laxus had asked almost sinister to the helpless man.
"Y-Y-Y-Yesss…how about a 30,000 jewel discount?" Haru said frightened while stuttering his words. What I noticed was that he was now in a fetal position behind the counter, because he knows the power and great reputation of the lacrima dragon slayer if upset. (EQUALS $300 in AMERICA)
"Great, that's much better, don't ya think?" Laxus said while grabbing some jewels from his pocket and placing it onto the counter.
"Come on blondie, let's head out, and remember to pick up your keys." He said while waiting at the door for me to arrive. I grabbed the keys on the counter and walked toward Laxus before saying, "So soorryy Haaruu."
With that Laxus and I exited the store and headed out to another destination.
SOO, another chapter has been completed! Laxus and Lucy had just visited the magic shop and it was alright…for them at least. Lucy got some new and interesting keys for her collection. Also some of you may have realized that his name is Haru and his wife is named Elie…I loved Rave Master, but its not mine so I CANNOT take credit….Anyway, see y'all in my next chapter! PLEASE REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
