~Luck of the Unwanted

Chapter 3

I woke the next morning already regretting what was going to happen today. None the less though, I gathered my clothes and went to take a shower. Once I got out, I dried my body of excess water and put on my clothes. I was wearing one of my best and favorite outfits today. Today I am wearing a pair of dark blue jean shorts and a pink and blue button up shirt with a pink cami underneath. I then had a pair of hot pink leggings accompanied with black combat boots. I then walked back in my room to do my hair. I didn't want to stay in the bathroom to long and upset someone.

I opened the door and walked to my desk where my hairbrush was located. I pulled my hair to one side and started to brush before putting my hair in a loose braid. My hair isn't that long in the front though so a few pieces fell out and framed my face.

I walked downstairs and noticed everyone was in the living room but Natsu. With the exception of Grandine who was in the kitchen making breakfast. I decided that I would go sit beside Wendy who was on the couch watching some cute idol anime.

'What 'cha watching?' I wrote after tapping her shoulder.

"Oh. I am watching this show called Aikatsu. It is about these girls that go to an idol school and train to be idols. My favorite is Ichigo-chan." She said with a smile.

'Cool. So where's Natsu?'

"Natsu? Oh he is probably still as-"

"Good morning everyone." Natsu greeted tiredly as he descended the stairs and walked into the kitchen grabbing a piece of toast Grandine had prepared only to be scolded.

"Breakfast is ready everyone!" Grandine said in a sing-song like voice.

I sat down at the same seat that I did for dinner last night. Along the table there was food everywhere. At first I was going to ask why she prepared so much food until I saw Natsu and Igneel pigging out. Ew.

In the mean time, Wendy and Grandine sat there and ate like there wasn't anything wrong with the picture. I watched until Grandine looked up and saw me staring with disgust.

"Oh Lucy dear, don't worry about it. As a matter of fact, you might better get used to it. They are like this all of the time." She said with a sigh.

After breakfast, Natsu went upstairs and came back in about 2 minutes. Gosh guys get ready fast. He was wearing a pair of jeans with a black hoodie that was half zipped and the hood on his head. Under the hoodie was a red t-shirt. To accompany the style, he wore a pair of black converse.

"Ready?" He asked in a bored fashion. In return I just nodded and grabbed my bag that contain a few things, such as my wallet, because I was almost certain Natsu wasn't going to buy me anything.

"We're leaving!" Natsu shouted walking out the door.

"Have fun!" I heard Grandine yell before I closed the door.

'Where are we going?' I wrote after walking a bit in silence.

"Well you see, this is how it is going to play out." He started out. I nodded to show I was listening.

"You are going to look around town while I go and hang out with my girlfriend and a few friends. Make sure not to tell my mom. Have fun!" He said quoting his mothers words. The nerve of that guy….

I was about to run after him since I have no clue where I am, but as I looked I couldn't see the slightest trace of pink hair. It was as if he disappeared.

I decided I would do as he said and look around a while. I walked for a bit before coming to a cute little bakery. Good thing I decided to bring my wallet because watching Natsu and his Dad kind of made me lose my appetite.

I walked in the door and was instantly greeted with the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries. I then found a seat and later a girl came up to take my order. She gave off a sweet aura but look like she could kick butt if needed. She had beautiful waist-length red hair and had a nametag that read 'Erza'.

"May I take your order? I recommend the strawberry cake." She said and I saw a little bit of… drool?

I quickly took a napkin and took a pen out of her apron.

'I would like just a plain crescent roll with a cup of tea.' I handed her with a smile.

"Oh I see. Your food will be with you in a second. I will be right back with your drink. Just as she said she brought my drink in seconds and only a minute later I was presented with a crescent roll.

I pulled pieces of it apart at the time and drinking a sip of tea every once in a while as well. I was reading a book that I had in my bag. When I finally finished, Erza came back over and gave me my bill, which I paid, and then exited. I decided I would walk around a bit. But that's when it hit me.

'I don't have a phone of any kind and even if I did, I don't have Natsu's number!' I thought as I crossed the street.

"Look out!" I heard as everything went black….

The next thing I remember is opening my eyes to find bright lights shining causing my headache to get worse and vision to be blurred. Slowly my eyes adjusted to the lights and I found myself in a room that was all white, unlike my room back home. I looked to my right only to find a sleeping Wendy and Grandine leaning on each other.

Slowly though Wendy awoke and her eyes met mine and they filled with tears.

"Lucy-San! I am so glad you are okay! She yelled awaking Grandine in the process.

"Lucy?! Lucy! Oh thank the heavens you are okay!" She said with relief. In return I smiled. I looked to my right and saw exactly what I was looking for: my whiteboard.

'What happened?'

"Well apparently you were crossing the street and a car came out of nowhere. Just as he was about to hit you though he swerved and somehow managed to not hit anything. There was a guy that saved you after you fainted and brought you here. He said he looked in your wallet for a form of identification and looked you up. He then called us and here we are." Grandine explained. I took a second to let all of the information sink in. Was god trying to kill me too now?

"but one thing…." She continued. "Where was Natsu?" She asked in confusion.

I looked down having no response. I want to gain Natsu's trust and let him know that I wouldn't rat him out like that. At the same time though I want Grandine to know that I am a trustworthy daughter.

I sat there in silence until I heard footsteps coming down the hall. Suddenly the door slammed open and in came a sweaty and exasperated Natsu.

"LUCY!" He yelled. He then saw Grandine there with her arms crossed and tapping her foot. Only one word came out then.

"Shit…"
