The rest of the day, the two mages sat as far away from each other as they could with little contact. On the second day, Lucy just had to get out, finding it too stuffy in that cabin with her body telling her to do things that her mind did not agree with. Sure, Lucy has had urges before and has been with a few guys but this is different…
Once on the deck, Lucy gladly breathes in the fresh air.
She smiles nicely at the other passengers before laying down on an empty beach chair, listening to the other passengers having fun. "Careful James. Teddy, make sure James doesn't get too close to the edge." A middle aged ginger woman calls out as the boys run off laughing. Pulling her sunglasses over her eyes, Lucy takes off her yellow shirt and short denim short shorts to reveal her black bikini with yellow stripes and stars, in hopes to put some colour on her bones.
"Punishment princess?" Lucy jumps, moving her pink sunglasses on top of her head. She smiles at her maid spirit Virgo who is lightly sitting on her legs in a black and white bikini. "No punishment Virgo. What are you doing here?" Lucy laughs as she hugs her spirit. "We came to keep you company princess." Two strong hands lightly guide Lucy back into her chair by her shoulders. Staring upwards, Lucy smiles lightly at Loke. Like Virgo, Loke was also in his bathing suit, sporting red and orange swimming trunks and the familiar lady-killer smirk. "Thanks. That's very kind of both of you."
After asking about the other spirits, the trio all lay back relaxing in the heat. Virgo lays by Lucy's legs, Loke lays next to his princess, wrapping his arm around her. He trails his fingertips lazily up and down Lucy's arm as he rests his head on her shoulder. "Loke, we have talked about this-" The cheeky lion moves closer to her. "Princess, you saved me. I am forever in your debt and every day I am in your service, I will make it up to you. You are my nakaman." Water fills Lucy's eyes as she smiles upon her friends. "We all feel the same mistress Lucy." Lucy hugs Virgo again and squeezes Loke's hand. Both iris share mischievous looks before tackling her to disperse those tears.
A shadow appears over them. "Having fun Blondie?" The spirits stop their assault as the trio stare up at the large figure of Laxus Dreyer. "We're on a mission, not a vacation for you, your kitty cat boyfriend and the pink maid chick." Lucy immediately jumps to her feet, fists balled. Laxus' glare is harsh as it seems to be aimed mainly at Loke. "What did you call me lightning brain?"
"Can both of you go back to the spirit world please? I have some things I need to discuss with Sparkplug here." Slightly reluctantly, the two spirits leave. "How dare you speak about my spirits that way! They are my friends and should be treated with respect like anyone else!" Lucy moves closer towards Laxus, unaware that her voice was raising in volume. "If you dare insult them again, I will make sure you pay for it. Do I make myself clear?!" Shocked and slightly amused at Blondie's sudden explosion of angry, Laxus crosses his arms over his broad chest and stares down at her. "Loke isn't my boyfriend either."
"Help! Help! James is falling off the boat!" One of the boys, the slightly older one, shouts towards the red headed women as he attempts to climb over the bar surrounding the perimeter of the boat in an attempt to save James. Without a second thought, the Fairy Tail mages are running in the direction of where James struggles to keep a hold as he cries out for his mother.
"You save the younger one, I have the older one." Laxus says before turning himself into lightning and appearing next to the boy named Teddy.
Whilst running, Lucy reaches for her keys. "Aries! Taurus! Aquarius! I open thy gates!" Ignoring the angry expression on Aquarius' face, Taurus' comments on her half-naked form and Aries apologising, Lucy jumps into action. "Aquarius, calm those waters. Aries, make a pile of wool on the deck. And Taurus, throw me over the edge." Before Laxus can object to Lucy throwing herself into the oceans rough waters, her spirits are already fulfilling her requests.
With one throw, Lucy is flying through the air but it seems as though the bull spirit has put too much power behind it as Lucy passes the edge where the boy is and is going further out to see. Flicking her whip, it wraps itself around the bar, pulling Lucy back towards the boat.
She lands next to James, wrapping her arm securely around him and making sure that he is okay.
Laxus tells Teddy to close his eyes as he turns back into lightning and teleports safely back onto the deck as the red hired woman rushes over to him.
Lucy pushes off the side of the boat with her feet, making her travel closer towards the sea and Aquarius mutter a insults or too under her breathe. Flexing the magic within her whip, Lucy makes it shorten in length, and with Aquarius sending a jet of water towards her, Lucy and James are lifted into the air and over the deck. Letting go of James at the exact right time, Tarius was able to catch the boy before they both fell comfortably into the pink wooden wall that Aries had created.
Passengers who had gathered begin applauding the mages, causing Lucy's face to turn bright red as well as Aquarius having some signs of blush too. "Thank you Aries, Taurus and Aquarius. You were all a fantastic help. Rest well." Aquarius flouts next to her celestial mage and glares down at her. "Next time you get yourself into trouble, make sure it is when I do not have a date." She closes her gate before Lucy could even protest that she wasn't the one who was in trouble, however not before sending a wave to drench Lucy in sea water. Her other spirits nod respectfully before leaving to go to the celestial world too.
As Lucy unwraps her whip from the bar, the red headed women walks over with Laxus and smiles at them as the boys are with her husband, a middle aged man with messy black hair and glasses. "I knew you were the mages I saw during the Grand Magic Games! I want to thank you both for saving my son James and my godson Teddy. Here, as a token of our thanks you can have this." Reaching into her pocket, she pulls out a hefty set of notes. Lucy stares at the quizzically as Laxus shakes his head. "We are Fairy Tail mages. We don't save people just because of the reward. Keep your money." The woman smiles brightly at them. "At least let us buy you both a drink."
After a few drinks on deck, both Laxus and Lucy walk back to their cabin together, their moods a lot lighter than yesterday.
Jumping onto the sofa, Lucy smiles as she stretches, happy that they were able to help people. "We made a good team today Sparkplug." He shrugs, running a hand through his hair. "Yeah. We do. Look, Blondie, about earlier-" Lucy gets to her feet and walks closer to Laxus smiling brightly. "I trust it won't happen again, so it is water under the bridge. But you will have to apologise to them personally tomorrow though." Her soft laughter fills the room.
Laxus watches her, amazed at how true the stories Mira had told him about the celestial mage are true. She always said that she is the light of the fairies and seeing her forgiving him and laughing like this, Laxus can see exactly why.
The mages smile at one another, their eyes locking. The temperature begins to rise.
Lucy's face flushes as she just realises that Laxus is wearing black swim short and nothing else, making his chest seem irresistible. The intenseness of Laxus eyes seem to increase as they slowly travel down Lucy in her bikini before locking once again with her wide chocolate eyes.
Shaking themselves, they move away, Lucy muttering about taking a bath and Laxus muttering about going to the bar to order them dinner.
