Fire
Lucy sighed yet again, watching the rambunctious pinkette chase after Gray, hollering at the top of his lungs. "It was only an accident, jeez. Ugh, boys." Levy giggled from beside her, holding a hand to her cheek with a flourish. "Oh the whims of the male mind, it was only a chair this time. Could've been a table like last week." The two girls exchanged a look before laughing. Lucy glanced at her watch, before letting out a string of muted curses. "Dang it, I'm late! Loke is going to SKIN me! Gotta go Lev, tell Natsu that I'll still cook him dinner tonight, he'll just have to wait. Though-" she broke off, looking at the blur of blue and pink that the two raging males had become, "he probably won't even notice that I'm gone any time soon." She let out a second, nearly inaudible sigh, before getting up. "Bye!" The blonde waived, before quickly making her way out how of the guild.
Levy shook her head. "I'll bet ten bucks that Natsu will be out of here in less than five Mira." The pretty white-haired girl behind her nodded. "Make it two and I'll add in an extra ten." she giggled.
The loud crashes stopped abruptly, the two males tumbling apart as Natsu stood up. "Hey, where'd Lucy go?" The two girls exchanged a look. "Well, speak of the devil. That's a new record" Levy commented, and Mira hummed in agreement. "With Loke" the bluenette called offhandedly. "Don't set him on fire this time." Natsu growled, pouting as the guild chorused with chuckles. "You said you wouldn't tellll" he whined, trudging over to the bar as the laughter continued. "Eh, whatever" Levy shrugged, turning back to her almost forgotten milkshake. "You know what happened last time you joined Lucy on her training mission. You got jealous within the first ten minutes. It was a total disaster." Levy commented plainly.
"Aww" Mira cooed in the background. "Natsu got jealous again! How sweet!" Feeling his face redden, Natsu pulled his scarf farther up. "Did not" he mumbled, looking at the floor. Levy just rolled her eyes, stirring her milkshake with her straw. "I know you're gonna go spy, so just go and let me drink my shake in peace!" Natsu glared at the back of her head, but did as he was told anyway.
Lucy trailed after her spirit, gazing at the trees that they passed. "Are we deep enough in the park yettt? We have been walking FOREVER!" Loke sighed, shaking his head. "I'm just trying to get far enough away from Natsu to hopefully salvage my hair this time. It took an eternity to grow back out!" He sniffed, carefully patting his orange mane. Lucy groaned but couldn't argue - Natsu did create quite a mess last time. Fire everywhere. She was still paying for that incident. "I don't suppose there are any firefighting spirits that I can form a contract with right?" Loke shook his head. "Sadly, no."
Natsu followed the scent of his favorite Celestial Mage down the winding forest trails before finally arriving at the edge of a small clearing. He plopped down behind a nearby tree, watching closely as Loke demonstrated a variety of moves, then stepped back and let Lucy try. His eyes narrowed any time Loke's hand got close to her, but forced himself to stay (relatively) calm. He should know better, they've done this before. But it still made him a little bit bitter that she chose to train with Loke instead of him. He would've been a much better teacher but she was adamant. And unfortunately he just couldn't say no to those big brown eyes. Curse her for being so pretty.
Watching as she mirrored Loke's spin perfectly, Natsu found himself in awe as she called forth Taurus, still rotating, causing the light to spin out from the key in all directions, almost like a tiny meteor shower. The bull landed in the sparkling light as gracefully as he could, turning to Lucy for approval. "Moooo did great Luucyyy!" The blonde smiled, extending her hand for a high five (or as close as she could get). "You too Taurus! Your balance is improving!" She laughed, and her spirit couldn't help but join in.
Natsu grumbled to himself, looking distastefully at the bull. Sure, Lucy did great but Taurus didn't do anything particularly spectacular. He still didn't like him much, and was only relieved when Lucy sent him back before he could make any of his usual comments. But that relief only lasted a second, as Loke picked Lucy up in a wave of happiness, spinning her around while she laughed. "You did it! Finally!" He placed her down, ruffling her windblown hair. "Your mother would be proud" he murmured affectionately, touching his forehead to hers. Lucy smiled, feeling her heart tighten at the mention of her mother. She finally figured out her special move. And it meant the world to her.
That is, until her nose crinkled. "Is that... FIRE?!" Lucy pulled away, before wailing aloud. "NOT AGAIN!" She ducked out of the way in the nick of time, just as Natsu came barreling straight for Loke. "FIGHT ME YOU B-"
