Chapter 8
"You guys wanna play a game of hide and seek?" Lucy asked. "I'm up for it." Wendy said. "Just like old times." Gajeel smiled. "Natsu, you count while we all go hide." Lucy said. "Kay." Natsu started counting and they all ran off. Erza hid in one of the houses. Wendy and Carla hid in a cave. Happy was with Natsu. Gajeel, Lucy, and Lily hid in a tree that they used to hide in. Gray hid behind a bush. Natsu stopped counting and went to find them. "Found ya Erza." Natsu said. "Let's go find the others." Erza said. They walked around until Natsu smelt Gray. "I can smell Ice Princess." Natsu said. They walked toward the bush. "Hi Gray." Erza said. "Hey." He said getting up. "Time to find the others." Natsu said. "Aye!" Happy said. They walked around and spotted a cave. "Who wants to check?" Natsu asked. "You do." Gray said. Natsu ran up and got into the cave. "Hey Natsu." Wendy smiled. "We need to find Luce, Gajeel, and Pantherlily." Natsu said. The whole group walked around. "Do they know that they passed us six times?" Lucy whispered. "Dense flame idiot." Gajeel mumbled. "Hey Luce!" Natsu yelled. "The seventh time is the charm!" Lucy laughed. "Shut up." Natsu said. Lucy giggled. Gajeel jumped off the tree. Lucy jumped and Gajeel caught her. Pantherlily flew down. "Let's go. I'm surprised my dad hasn't found us." Lucy said. "Kay." Gray said. All of them ran (and flew) off. "I will get you here Forever Lucy." Jude said as he watched his black haired daughter run off.
At the Fairy Tail guild hall
"I hope Lucy is okay." Mira said. "Of course she would be. She is a strong girl." Lisanna said. The doors opened. "I told you that she was ok." Lisanna said. "Hey Lucy! Are you ok?" Mira said. "I'm just fine." Lucy said. "Dad is gunna worry if you aren't gunna see him." Gajeel said. "Then let's go." Lucy said. Lucy and Gajeel walked out of the guild to the field. "Good, Lucy is ok." Metallicana said. "Yup!" Lucy smiled. Lucy walked up and sat in front of the dragons. "There is a cave near by that you guys can fit in. So, you won't be out here the whole time." Lucy said. "We will check it out." Grandeeny said. "I am gunna go take a shower and then I'll be back." Lucy said as she got up. "Kay, don't fall into the river." Gajeel said. "I won't." Lucy giggled. She kissed his cheek and ran off. "Why would she fall in a river?" Metallicana asked. "She walks on the edge of the river and the fishermen tell her that she will fall in one day." Gajeel said. "Ah." He said.
At the apartment
Lucy turned the water on and got in the shower. She grabbed the shampoo and put it in her hair. She washed her hair and body then got out. She wrapped the fluffy white towel around her. She dried her body and hair. She slid on gray sweatpants, a white tank top, and a black hoodie. Her hair was down and she slid in a silver headband. She found a bracelet that Gajeel had given her as a kid. She smiled at her look and left her apartment.
At the field
Gajeel, Natsu, and Wendy where talking to their foster parent. Lucy walked up o the field. "Hey, those are my sweatpants and hoodie." Gajeel said. "Got a problem with it?" Lucy asked. "No, just saying the obvious." Gajeel said. "I got a new key a few weeks ago." Lucy said. "Which one?" Gajeel asked. Lucy pulled out they key. "Waterlily." She said. "I wanna see." Wendy said. "Open gate of the Waterfall, Waterlily!" Lucy yelled. A girl with a sky blue dress showed up. Her teal hair went down to her knees. (A/N: her hair looks like Hatsune Miku's hair). "Hello Miss Lucy, it's a pleasure to be in your presence again." She curtsied. "Hey Waterlily." Lucy said. "How are you?" She asked. "I am fine you?" Lucy replied. "I am doing just fine. Also, may I ask who are these people?" Waterlily said. "Oh, this is Gajeel, Natsu, Wendy, Pantherlily, Carla, Happy, Metallicana, Igneel, and Grandeeny." Lucy said pointing to each one. "It's a pleasure to meet you." She bowed. "She is a lot nicer than you other water spirit Luce." Natsu said. "She is a proper spirit. She was with some Mage is a town called London and picked it up there. She can make really god tea to." Lucy explained. "Ah." Natsu said. "You are really pretty." Wendy said. "Thank you, you are pretty as well." She said. Wendy giggled. "If I am not needed, I will return to my tea. Goodbye Miss Lucy." Waterlily bowed and left. "See, she is really nice." Lucy said. "She is." Wendy said. "I'm hungry!" Natsu whined. "When aren't you hungry?!" Lucy asked. "I want foooooood." Natsu said. "I'll go get Mira to make you something." Lucy said and ran back down to the guild. "You really do eat a lot flame brain." Gray said as he walked up. "What did you say ice prick?" Natsu asked. "I said you eat a lot. Are ya deaf or somethin'?" Gray yelled. "Do you wanna go ice princess?" Natsu yelled. "Bring it ash for brains!" Gray yelled. Natsu and Gray started to fight. "Is he always like this?" Igneel asked. "Yup. They have been fighting ever since they met when they joined the guild." Lisanna said. "Natsu! Gray! You better stop fighting or you won't get this food and I'll Lucy-kick you all the way to Hargeon!" Lucy yelled as she walked up with a tray of food. "A-Aye!" Natsu said. Lucy laughed and handed him the food. "They better be glad it was me and not Erza." Lucy teased. "She'd give them a beating." Wendy giggled. They all laughed for awhile.
A/N: Sorry for the short update. But I'd rather it be short than no update at all. I will try and update sooner, but school is in the way.
