Hey. ;)

I decided to continue this anyway. Hope you'll like this chapter too. I just finished my other story - so I'll have more time to write this. :)

Chapter 3.

"Train-girl?" He said surprised and widen his eyes in surprise.

Lucy looked just as surprised, and their fathers looked at them in confusion. The boy still wore his baggy clothes (though his father had taken his cap), he didn't look like a son of a Duke at all. She had never though it.

"Have you two met before," The Duke asked and tried to recognize Lucy too. Had he seen her before too?

"No, never!" The boy hurried to say and grabbed Lucy's hand, "nice to meet you, Lucy Heartphilia, my name is Makoto Kaito of the Kaito family, but just call me Mako – everybody else does"

"Nice to meet you … Mako." Lucy mumbled. Their father's look satisfied.

"I knew your son couldn't resist my daughter." Lucy's father said proudly. Lucy rolled her eyes - he wasn't proud at all, he was just happy to be better friends with the Duke - they obviously had business plans together.

"If he just forget about that other girl." The Duke said and waved a rejecting hand. Mako looked down.

"Could I have a word, with my future … wife?" Mako said hesitating and the pain showed in his eyes, but disappeared as quickly as it came.

"Of course." The Duke said and gave Lucy's father a quick look, before they both walked out of the door. Mako and Lucy waited till the door closed, before Mako pulled his hand back and made a sigh.

"So your name is Mako?" Lucy said and pulled a chair out and sat down.

"Yeah … I guess." Mako responded and took a chair too and sat himself in front of her, "And your apparently Lucy heartphilia."

"Yeah … I guess." She copied Mako and they both smiled.

"This is perfect!" Mako said and an idea shined out of his eyes. Lucy eyed him unsure.

"What are you up to?" She asked.

"A fake wedding!" He said energetic, "- Then afterwards we can run away - and marry the ones we love." He smiled widely and expected her to agree, but instead she lifted an eyebrow.

"Are you sure, you thought that trough?" She asked suspicious.

"No, I just made it up, like two minutes ago." He said and scratched the back of his head, "What's wrong with it?"

"Okay, first – how'll you escape, without being noticed after the wedding? I mean, people will kind of expect us to live together, right?" She asked and could see his brain starting to work, "and second – It's just wrong."

"What do you mean?" He asked and looked at her in wonder.

"I mean the idea of a ´fake wedding´. It's just wrong. We'll trick a lot of people and make a ´false vow´ - doesn't that bother you at all?"

"Not if it means I'll be with Alica." He said determined.

"Is that her name?" Lucy said and smiled.

"Yeah … but don't say her name in public – my father is doing everything he can to find her, and by the way – I have a solution on your first problem!" He added and smiled widely. Lucy was almost surprised by his courage and … foolhardiness.

"You mean, how we escape afterwards?" Lucy asked unsure.

"Yes! We buy a house – really far away," He said and made large circles with his hands, "Then we start our own life – wherever we go – and when we live so far away, our fathers have to send letters and postcard, and then we'll know when their coming to visit!" He said happily.

"But if we're not in the house – how are we going to receive the letters?" Lucy asked and Mako again fell in deep thoughts. She made a tired smile and shook her head of him.

"That's a detail," He said begging, "But I'm tired of running – please help me." He took her hand in his, and looked her in the eyes, "you didn't seem trilled about an ´arranged-marriage´, either. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"N-no." Lucy said flustered.

"Oh … um … you don't – I mean … you are not in love with me, right?" He said hesitating.

"NO! No, no!" Lucy hurried to say. Mako almost became offended by her sudden answer, but quickly recovered and hurried to press her more.

"But you want to find mister-right yourself, right?" He said and waited till she nodded in agreement, "Then please, Lucy".

"Well … I guess it wouldn't hurt … but what do we do when they find out?" She asked silently.

"Um … we take it from there, okay?" He said and was suddenly afraid she would change her mind, but she nodded and his smile grew huge.

"Thank you, so so so much!" He said and pulled her into a hug, "you don't know how much we appreciate it!"

She didn't answer at first. She just pushed him away with one hand, her expression hard. He looked at her for a second. She didn't like the idea at all, but she was a hopeless romantic, so she couldn't just ignore him either.

"This is wrong … but I promise to help you, BUT …" She said, when he was about to pull her into another hug, "I have a few conditions"

"Anything." He hurried to say and smiled again.

"I'm not kissing you … the only exception is when we kiss in the church, is that clear?" She said with a raised finger. He hurried to nod, "And another thing – no one is hearing about this plan, not Alica either"

"But, she deserves to know! Why?" He said a little angrily.

"Because my father have done some horrible things to my guild Fairy Tail, once" She explained, "and I don't want that again. He would maybe forgive me if I just rejected you, but if we make a ´fake wedding´. Who knows what he'll do"

"Are you in a guild? That's so cool – what's your talent?" He asked - wow, he was quickly distracted.

"I'm a celestial spirit mage, it's really cool – wait … agree the terms!" She said taken off guard. He sighed and nodded then.

"Fine … fake wedding." Lucy had to get use to the words, "Oh and if I'm going to stay here, I'll have to make a call"

"To your Guild?" Mako asked.

"Yes"

"Say that to my face!" Gray yelled angrily at Natsu and clenched his fist. Natsu hurried to his feet too and clenched his fist too. They slammed their foreheads together and stared into each others eyes.

"You want a piece of me?" Natsu said and lighted a fireball in his hand.

Mira didn't even bother stop the fight. They had fought non-stop ever since Lucy had left. She just stood and cleaned a glass, humming a song she learned a long time ago. After only seconds Natsu and Gray fought wildly. Again.

"Boys." Mira-Jane just mumbled and rolled her eyes. Suddenly the phone rung beside her. She hurried to put the glass down and lifted the phone.

"Mira-Jane." She greeted, "Oh Lucy … How are you?"

Natsu and Gray immediately stopped fighting and rushed to the bar.

"Tell her to come back soon," Natsu said loudly, "We want to go on missions."

"Yeah – I can't stay here with that nuddelhead anymore." Gray said and pointed at Natsu. Natsu glared at him with flames in his eyes.

"That's nice …" Mira-Jane just said in the phone and ignored the two boys, "By the way – I should ask from Gray and Natsu when you'll be home …" She added and the boys stared at her. Mira suddenly became silent for a long time. She widen her eyes in surprise. Then she handed the phone toward the two boys without a word. Gray was fastest and grabbed the phone. Natsu made a mad groan.

"Lucy?" He asked, "When are you coming home?"

"Hallo Gray," She mumbled in the phone, "How are you?"

"Bored! I want to go on missions, please come home fast." He said annoyed.

"Whish I could. I think you, Natsu and Ersa should go on missions without me," She mumbled, "because actually … I'm getting married."

Gray lost balance on his chair and fell backwards, and slammed his head against the floor. He lost grip of the phone and it flew across the room, and landed in the other end. He hurried up and chased the phone, and when he finally caught it, he yelled down the phone.

"I better have had ice in my ears!"

Yeah ... I tried. Hope you liked and please tell me your thoughts in the reviews. :)
