It was the last day for Thanksgiving break, Sunday, tomorrow everyone will return to school. Lucy was in her room waiting out the day, she didn't want to confront her father. It was only afternoon, she had Virgo bring her lunch to her room. A while after she finished there was a knock on her door. Before she answered , it opened. Her father stood by the door way. Virgo walked passed him bowing politely before walking down to the kitchen to get the dishes cleaned. Her father's face was emotionless but she knew he was serious.

" Father?" Lucy looked at him questionably.

" Lucy come to my office I have some important matters to discuss with you."

" Yes father..."

When her father left she waited a while before following. As she walked over to his room she wondered about what he could possibly want to say, though she knew for a fact that she was defiantly not going to like it. She stood before her fathers room and opened the door slowly. She walked in and stood in front of his desk. Instead of the emotionless face he was showing earlier he was now slightly glaring, he studied her before talking.

" As you know I'll need a heir for my company soon to take over and keep it going," She could already tell what he was going to say next," I will have you marry a man-"

" An arranged marriage!" She practically shouted. He glared at her.

" Yes an arranged marriage, you'll have a child and that child will be the heir to my company, I'll have more information by the next break you come back."

" No..."

" Excuse me?"

" I said no. I will not get married to some guy that I don't know, that I probably won't like for your own reasons, If you want an heir so badly then why can't you just wait until I find someone I actually like!" She yelled. Her father stood up.

" Because, you will get a man who is not decent enough, I will choose who it'll be and that is final!"

She was disgusted by this, her father arranging a marriage for her, she'll have to spend her life with someone she won't love. ' maybe he'll be over protective ...' She she sighed at the thought. She faced the door.

" I won't, I will not get married."

" If you don't, there'll be consequences that you won't like." He said. ' I bet it won't be as bad as getting married,' She thought but said nothing. She went for the door and opened it.

" I'll give you until Christmas, if you have anything to say, say it then and if you refuse," He laughed lightly still glaring at her back, " Then you'll be punished, and I promise it will be far worse than getting married."

She left she almost slammed the door but she closed it slowly before it had the chance. She quickly walked away from the room up to her bedroom. She locked the door behind her.

" My father," she whispered, " All he ever cared about was money and his, his company, he's never once thought about my feelings he's neglected me, I've been alone, and to top that off he's getting me married to a man I don't even KNOW!" she yelled out the last part. She sat on her bed in silence. " I just wish he'd actually love me, like a parent should. " She laid down on the bed. She fell asleep before she knew she was actually tired.

Lunch at school started off normal, until Natsu came up with his ' brilliant' plan. Everyone at their table knew that kids who were seen with Lucy that were flirting were beaten up by Daren's gang. They couldn't prove it, since the kids who were beaten didn't clearly see the guy, most of them were attacked from behind.

" Its despicable! They did no harm to anyone." Erza said.

" We should be careful, this Daren, he's been around Lucy a lot lately, when we come to get her he blows up!" Loke said glancing at Natsu, " And I don't mean literally exploding." He added as Natsu imagined Daren exploding into a billion pieces.

" I don't think it be that bad if he actually explodes." Natsu said. " Any way I was thinking-"

" You were thinking? Now there's something." Gray muttered Natsu glared.

" If he attacks anyone who hangs out with Lucy then we should fight back."

" Obviously, why wouldn't we fight back?" Gray asked Natsu ignored him.

" We should have a little group were we learn how to fight good ya know? But not in an actually class."

" Good idea, if we join a class he might find out fast, we'll just train ourselves." Loke said.

" So who actually learned how to fight, like martial arts kinda thing?"

" I have." Erza, Loke , Mira said.

" Mira?"

" Yeah I've had little training but still, you never know when you might need it right?" She smiled.

" So we'll teach you guys,"

" Juvia thinks that's a great idea."

" Okay so after school, where should we meet?" Erza asked.

" Gym? Thats the only place I can think off right now, if someone comes in we'll just pretend where having a little chat." Gray said.

" Alright sounds good."

Lucy walked in followed by Levy. Lucy looked a bit sad but other wise she was herself.

" Hey guys whatcha talking about?"

" Nothing." Loke said. They all knew it was best not to tell her, besides she didn't need to fight, it was her the guy wanted but they doubt he'll attack her.

" Oh okay."

After school everyone but Lucy , Levy, Jet, Droy, and Lisanna, meet at the gym and began training. Natsu and Gray trained with Loke, Juvia and Elfman trained with Mira, Gajeel trained with Erza. At the end of the day the one who got the worst beatings was of course Gajeel.

" You had to choose Erza didn't you, look what you got." Gray laughed.

" She's the strongest, I will fight only the strongest." Gajeel said.

" Yeah well you lost." Natsu said.

" I bet you'll lose to her too." Gajeel said.

" Are you kidding I won't lose to her!"

" Yes you will, dude Erza's scary you shouldn't even want to be around her in training." Gray said.

" Or dancing, Man she's scary when she dances." Loke said. They laughed.

" I'll try her tomorrow." Natsu said.

" Yeah good luck on that. "
