IV. Spare Me, Misery

PS: Okay! We had an early update because my sister just can't wait to write .. hehe .. ^^

Monday came, but it was a holiday and Lucy's first day on duty as Natsu Dragneel's Personal Assistant. She came to Clive Complex where Madoushi Ouji-sama was staying.

"Good morning, everyone! I'm Lucy and…hmmm. I don't think this is the right line", Lucy was practicing her introduction.

"Maybe I should do hip-hop. Yo! Lucy's in the house!...Err.. That's not it either. Maybe being sensitive and cute is better. Uhm…hi… My name is Lucy. It is nice to meet you. Ahh! It's too polite!" the girl exclaimed, with both hands on her head.

She let out a sigh and tried knocking on the door, but before she could, the door slammed open and two guys came out fighting over what looked like to be the last piece of pizza.

"Give me that! You already had three slices, Gray!" exclaimed Loke.

"So did you!" Gray replied.

Gray and Loke noticed the blonde Lucy standing in front of them. The two guys immediately stood up straight and acknowledged her presence.

"Oh, you are Lucy right?" Loke said as he stroke his "beautiful" hair. There were glitters behind him.

"My name is Loke, but I'm sure you already knew", he continued with a smile, which secretly annoyed Lucy.

"The name's Gray. Nice to meet you", the Dark Prince of the band introduced himself.

"Natsu's inside", he added. Lucy bowed her head, thanked them and went inside.

As soon as Lucy was out of their sight, the two glared at each other and stated their make- believe special moves.

"Ice make…sword!" Gray exclaimed and positioned himself as if he was ready to attack.

"Regulus, grant me your power!" Loke also had his perfect stance.

Gray paused for a while.

-"Who the heck is Regulus?"

-"What's up with making ice?"

Before they could react, a blue stray cat snatched the last piece of precious pizza. They let out a gasp and stared angrily at each other. And they're at it again.

-"You shouldn't have been so greedy Gray!"

-"Hey, you were the one who last held the pizza!"

Jellal was wiping his electric guitar when he heard the racket outside their luxurious living room.

"Man, when would those two learn to keep quiet? I apologize for the racket, Lucy", Jellal said to Lucy.

"I'm done tying them up, Jellal!" Romeo exclaimed holding some spare rope. Lucy's eyes grew big when she saw Gildarts and Natsu being tied up, back-to-back.

"I'm surprise you even managed to tie them. I'm impressed", Jellal was impressed.

"I tied them when they were asleep. HAHA!" Romeo exclaimed as if he won over two large beasts.

Gildarts put on a sour face and Natsu's mouth was taped to keep him shut.

"This is kidnapping, Jellal", Gildarts said.

"It's called taking measures. Besides, you'll just run off the streets and scare every girl you run into", the lead guitarist replied.

"Well, excuse me! But every girl enjoys my company", their manager said, feeling impressed with himself.

"Hmmp….umph…umph", Natsu was furious.

"What did you say? Oh, I'll help you with that, Natsu-nii", with that being said, Romeo ripped off the tape on Natsu's mouth.

"Ahhhhhh! That hurts!" cried Natsu.

"These guys are incredibly outrageous and strange at the same time!" Lucy thought to herself as she stared at everyone in the room.

"oh… If it isn't orange juice?" Natsu just noticed Lucy in the room. Lucy looked at the pink-haired guy.

"Nice to be working with you!" said Natsu with a cheeky smile.

Lucy just smiled, but Jellal interrupted their stares and whispered to her.

"That literally means watch out".

"Eh?" Lucy had no idea what that meant, but maybe she'll soon find out.

"Oh, I just remembered! We already picked our outfits for tomorrow's gig. Natsu, you still have no outfit right?" Loke stated.

"We have a gig tomorrow? How come I didn't know?" Natsu tried to remember if someone had told him about their schedule.

"That's because you were sleeping when we got an invitation", Gray butted in while he was tuning his bass guitar.

"Alright. It looks like your first job is to find Natsu a suitable attire for tomorrow, Lucy", Jellal said with a smile.

Lucy hopped into the band's personal vehicle with Natsu. During the whole ride, the two of them had not said a word to each other until Natsu decided to break the deafening silence.

"So, where are we going, orange juice?" Natsu suddenly asked.

Lucy was surprised by his sudden enthusiasm.

"You surprised me! *sigh Jellal told me to bring you to your usual shopping center", Lucy replied.

"And my name is Lucy, not orange juice", she added.

"Screw what Jellal said! I've been to that place countless of times already. I wanna go to new places, see new stuff, enjoy and have adventures!" Natsu was enthusiastic about this idea. He said this while his right fist was on the air.

"And where would you want to go exactly?" Lucy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Hmmm… to the amusement park!" replied Natsu with a smile.

Lucy immediately thought of couples holding hands and eating cotton candy together. She thought of the little word called "date". She suddenly turned red.

"N-no way! Besides, we're going to buy clothes not teddy bears and stuff", Lucy stated with a red face.

"Aww come on, orange juice! I mean, Lucy. Jellal wouldn't even know! We're just gonna hang out in the amusement park for half an hour then after that, we could go and buy all the clothes in the world", to Natsu, this sounded very convincing. Lucy just gave him a straight face.

"No", she said coldly.

Natsu paused for a while. Suddenly, pink glitters surrounded him. He took Lucy's hands and said,

"Trust me. We're gonna have fun".
