So, I'm still trying to get the hang of actually writing fanfiction. It's hard when you favor certain characters over others, like the case of Peyton. He's a goofball but the way he talks is so awkward to work with for me. With that being said, I will try not to screw this up! Or if I have, whoops.

Disclaimer: I own literally nothing that you can recognize. :D

And away we go!

~~This Is A Chapter Start?~~

Harmless Delusion

Chapter 2

Lucy vs Krystella

Tom and Sarah were watching a match as they waited on their friend Kaz, as Peyton was on a ScanQuest of his own in the Mipedian Desert for another good location. "So any idea what's up with Kaz? He's been a bit more jumpy lately, and not just because he nearly was set on fire with H'Earring at the Lava Pond."

Sarah asked Tom with a raised eyebrow, drinking some of her soda that she had left. "Well, I have an idea of wh- HEY!" Before Tom could finish his sentence or train of thought, he was tackled out of his seat by an overly energetic Lucy, her bell ringing as she laughed. "Pffft, your face gets more and more priceless! I should've went 'Rawr!' to make it better."

Sarah had to blink a few times, to fully understand what she was seeing now. Tom, one of her best friends, was on the floor. With what she could tell was essentially a female Kaz sitting on his spine, except she wasn't as scrawny. "Ah! You're a cute one! Cuter than this fucker right here that's for sure." And this female Kaz was completely insane to boot.

She won't have any problems fitting in, that's for sure. Sarah thought as she smiled at Lucy, standing up and offering her hand in greeting. "It's nice to meet you, I'm Sarah. I can see you already know Tom, and I'm going to guess you're related to Kaz." Sarah released a yelp as Lucy not only yanked her down, but also hugged her in greeting.

"You're my first female friend, am I on an acid trip here? I'm Lucy, Kaz's younger twin." The ginger said with a grin before standing up, bringing the two with her as well. "Least you're not a bitch like Krystella is~ she's still furious with me from when I hit her." The bell ringing softly when she spoke, and the laughter that Lucy released after this statement really didn't match her happiness.

Hearing how the wicked witch had a 'battle injury', Tom couldn't help but snicker at this, while Sarah noticed the bloodied knuckles on Lucy's right hand. "So you're the one that did to her? I don't blame you, but why?" The blond asked as she sat back down at the table, followed by a snickering Tom as Kaz came running up to them, slightly out of breath.

"Lucy, you need to stop running off like that." He told his sister as he exhaled in relief, sitting down across from Sarah while Lucy took the seat to his left. "You still haven't told me why you got into a fight with Krystella yet." "In time, in time, Sarah just asked me about this. Do you really wanna know?" Her amusement was clear in her voice at the memory, the small bell accompanying her words.

"Of course we wanna know! I've wanted to hit her for so long, but I'm not the kind to throw fists. I would, however, shoot her with Danian battlegear though." Sarah chuckled at the end of her sentence, nodding at Lucy as the ginger girl laid her arms on the table, resting her chin in her palms. "Well, it started when I was on a walk back home..."

~Two Days Prior~

Lucy was in her own world on what she called 'Majestic Strolls', listening to her music as she went on her walk. Reaching the park entrance, she saw Krystella and originally didn't pay her any mind to it. That is, until Krystella had tried tripping her. She did stumble, but she caught herself before she could fall on her face.

Moving her headphones down to her neck, she looked at the brunette with a smile. "Krystella! What a pleasant surprise, I didn't know you were into girls like that. Did you want me to fall head over heels for you?" At this, Krystella sneered as she chuckled. "In your dreams, you enjoying your time out of the looney bin?"

Keeping her smile, Lucy shook her head. "I am, I get to see that a patient is having a lovely day. Are you ready to go back to the white walls?" The soft bell accompanying her seemed to irritate Krystella, as the brunette rolled her eyes. "Please, with how you and your loser brother act, it's a miracle you aren't already sedated in a straight jacket."

"Better to be delusional to everyone else, then to be a little bitch to her own family." With that directly pointed remark, Krystella glared at the other. "You better watch it, or will I have to call the sanitarium to put you where you belong? You and your brother would do the world a favor by being locked up. It would be so much more pleasant."

"You're so silly, perhaps they need to give you stronger drugs. Maybe then you would be able to find someone who loves you." Lucy continued to smile at her, only to jump in surprise as Krystella lashed her nails towards her face. "And you need to learn your place, slut." The brunette was getting angry, as she glared at the ginger with a harsh gaze. "You and your whore brother need to go back to your corners, where you belong."

At her dear brother being called a whore, when he was by far more innocent then she was, Lucy threw her right hand, curled into a fist, straight into Krystella's left eye.

"You bitch!" Krystella cried out as she held her face for a moment, nursing her wounded eye before lashing out her claws once more, managing to reach Lucy's collarbone. She even drew a little blood there from her sharp nails.

"You can make fun of me all you want, I'm immune to that. But don't you ever call my brother that, or I'll actually break one of your bones. Which would you prefer, a broken arm or broken leg? I can't break your back, that's Klay's job."

"Oh bitch, please. You think you can keep him safe from everything, don't you. He's a weakling, just like you were." Krystella sneered at her as moved her hand in, aiming to strike Lucy's face. Only, instead Lucy ducked under her claws, and punched her square in the mouth, busting her lip.

"Before I lose my temper, I'm going to leave now. My time is better spent doing more productive things, than dealing with a bratty little girl like you." Lucy's tone was oddly serious for once, lacking it's usual joking nature as her soft bell contradicted her mood.

Her gaze was cold, almost as cold as the ice that would've been Krystella's heart.

Pulling back from the stunned brunette, the ginger then bolted off, seemingly forgetting that she was still bleeding a bit as her bell became harder and harder to hear.

~~Present Day~~

"You actually made her bleed? For a while I didn't think she was capable of bleeding, given how she doesn't have a heart." Tom said offhandedly at the end of the story, completely used to the fact that the female ginger was as strong as he was.

"Of course she's capable of bleeding, she's not as bad as Van Bloot...yet." Sarah said as she chuckled, smiling at Lucy. "What's with the bell? It doesn't quite make sense on you to me." She asked her as finished her drink, curious of the small bell.

"That, is a story for another time. I still need to help Ma make dinner, otherwise Kazzy won't be able to eat anything." The younger twin teased her brother before she stood, taking her leave of the table before she started walking away, moving quick enough that her bell actually made sounds.

"I worry about her sometimes, she's just out there enough to try and visit Mount Pillar for the heck of it." Kaz said with a sigh as he fixed his glasses, knowing full well his sister would end up at the Danian stronghold before he could blink.

"At least it won't get boring around here, she can keep all of us entertained. Or get us all killed." "So basically she'll fit right in?" "Exactly. Though, I'm curious how she'll act when I bring her to Kiru City…"

As Tom and Sarah started conversing again, the adorable humans they were, Kaz couldn't help but worry about just how Perim would react to Lucy. Not everyone would welcome her, expressive terms or loud behavior.

As long as she doesn't get into trouble...oh who am I kidding, she'll get into more trouble than I ever did. Kaz thought with a chuckle as he watched Tom and Sarah's calm discussion turn into a heated debate about the better Earth creature.

~~This Is A Chapter End?~~

Just as with the other chapter, this too was edited on...

Again, I apologize for how it may come across. I'm quite rusty, and I'm avoiding writing anything with Peyton speaking, though the next chapter will have him meeting Lucy, and perhaps a rather pleasant Mipedian as well. I'm going to try not to play favorites with this, but, I can't make any promises on it v_v

But, farewell for now!
