Lucy's POV

"You came like I asked."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, now what do you want? I would be dead if any of my friends found out so make it quick," I said impatiently.

"Hehehe," he grinned a sinister grin that sent shivers down my spine.

"STING YOU BASTARD JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT TO TELL ME!" I screamed.

"Gee blondie, I didn't know that asking you out was going to be such a headache," Sting said, and I could tell that he looks annoyed and his cheeks were red.

"…Nani!" I screamed in disbelief.

"Look, I'm sorry that our team beated you up like that, well on mine and Rogue's part we're sorry, but I don't know about the others. Just go out with me and get this over with," Sting replied while blushing. And to be honest, the blush was noticable, ( aha! finally the romance part :D )

'Should I go out with him, maybe this is a trap, oh he's blushing of course he likes me and wants to go out with me. But wait, the incident with Natsu, man I was such a moron! Ugh, I'm so confused.' I had a million thoughts swirling around my head and black swirls around my eyes.

Sting just stared at me and waited for my answer, I could tell that he was getting impatient.

'Wait, maybe if I went on the date, he would tell me more about Sabertooth and their plans and true intensions about coming to this mission. Or future plans about what their team might do to us,YES! Hehehehe, I'm such a genius, good job Lucy, good job.'

I smiled so sinisterly in my head and looked over to Sting with a straight face, "Yes."

He looked over at me and smiled, I gasped because, I don't think that I have ever seen Sting smile like that, except when he was smiling and laughing the crap out of himself watching me get beated to a pulp. (=.= that part was not cool)

Sting started to walk away and waved, "See ya tomorrow at noon Blondie," he smirked.

"You're blonde too!" I puckered and frowned at him while he walked away.

*Sigh* 'Maybe I might like him, nah~' I thought, and started to skip back and find Erza and the others.

Erza's POV

"Hmft, that place wasn't so bad now was it Natsu?"

"Yeah, that place had some good eats. Too bad they didn't wanna go," Natsu slung his arms around his neck and started to walk carelessly. That idiot...

"I'm going to go back to the inn, you go find Lucy and the rest. I'm planning on doing a little research about this 'Elemental Amulet.'"

"Kay, see ya," he dashed away from me trying to track at least one of our nakama's scent.

~~~flashback~~~

"Yes master?"

Master looked up at me with concerned eyes, "This mission seems kind of fishy. I smell and ominous power coming from this paper. You and your team are to take this mission with caution, but don't tell any of them about this. It is yet too soon for them to know."

"Yes, master. Good night master."

"Good night Erza, good luck on your mission," he replied with that famous mustache smile of his.

~~~end of flashback~~~

Gray POV

"Damn, this place is so hot. No wonder old Ash Breathe is enjoying this place," I scoffed at the thought.

"Yo Ice Princess!"

"Gray! Hurry up!"

"Huh? Oh it's just you guys. Coming!" I ran to them and looked at the sky. It was getting dark already.

'I'm going to beat that Dense idiot to a pulp'
