Lucy's POV
I sat on my bed and looked at my new keys. I really was great full to Sting and Rogue for giving them to me. They were both silver keys and very rare. The first one had a face with tentacles at the handle and was Cetus the sea monster I remember Crux telling me about him and his powers but I'll have to ask him just in case I forgot anything. I hope he's not as picky about the water I summon him in as Aquarius is. But I'll summon him in the ocean just in case.
The second one had what looked like a scales on it. This one was Dorado, the golden fish. I wonder what he would be like. I read in a book that Levy-chan got me for Christmas that he's an extremely fast swimmer but most people aren't fond of him because they don't see that as a worthy skill but I see so many possibilities.
It was about four in the afternoon so I figured there was enough time to make a contract with them. Since they are both water spirits I should go to a lake. I stopped my thoughts right there. I'll go and summon them in the ocean just in case they are like Aquarius. There was a nice clear beach in the next town wasn't there? I grabbed my keys and headed out of the house determined on going to the train station. I felt arms grab my waist.
"Where are you going?" Rogue asked me. I turned to see him with Frosch on his head. Which I thought was rather cute. Frosch was holding onto his hair to make sure that he didn't fall off. If he was pulling on his hair, Rogue didn't do anything about it.
"I'm going to make a contract with my new keys. Do you want to come? I'm heading over to the next town where there's a beach" I offered. I didn't think he would come because of the train but he said yes. So I grabbed the bag I took on my mission because I was too excited to look through it for my purse.
"Why can't you summon them in the lake?" he asked me on our way to the train station. I told him all about Aquarius, he was quite shocked.
We sat in the train. Rogue was on my lap and Frosch was on my head so I had to sit still and contain my excitement even though I felt really bouncy.
The train ride wasn't long; it was only about 10 minutes. I dragged Rogue to the beach before he had a chance to recover. I then stuck the key in the water.
"I am linked to the path to the world of celestial spirits, now o spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate, gate of the sea monster I open thee, Cetus"
The water swirled and a giant sea monster appeared before me. It had tentacles on its face (looks like Cetus from Sinbad) he looked down at me.
"Are you my new master? And you summoned me in the ocean I see, I am quite pleased" he asked me. I nodded. That answers my question about the water.
"Please call me Lucy Cetus. You are my friend not a tool or a possession" I told him "would you like to make a contract?" I asked. He looked shocked but nodded.
We made a contract, I was allowed to summon him three times a week but he has one week off every month, I can also summon him if it's an emergency.
His powers were quite impressive. He could use his whole body to crush things from ships to rocks that were in the way. If we practiced enough he said I could ride on his back and with a bit of magic he could blow an air bubble that humans could breathe in but that would take practice.
"Can you be summoned in any water?" I asked him.
"Yes, but it has to be a big body of water and I won't be as powerful as I am when I'm in the sea and I prefer it" he told me. I nodded and dismissed him after thanking him. Rogue walked up to me holding Frosch.
"Pretty simple, but I suppose it's very important still" he said.
"Yup now I have to make a contract with Dorado" I told him.
"I am linked to the path to the world of celestial spirits, now o spirit, answer my call and pass through the gate, gate of the golden fish, Dorado"
A fish appeared in the water. It looked like a Dorado but about five times the size and was gold.
"Greetings master" he said.
"Please call me Lucy" I told him. We made a contract and I found out that Dorado was really fast in the water and was really strong too. Apparently he liked to head butt people in the water when he was feeling mischievous.
I turned to Rogue when I was finished. It was now about 6 o'clock and the sun was setting and it was getting very late. He was standing next to a hole in the ground and was covered in sand along with Frosch. Frosch was even more sand covered than Rogue.
"Frosch tried catch a crab and nearly buried himself, I had to dig him out and he thought it was a game" he answered my unasked question. Frosch was currently trying to build a trap for the crab by digging multiple holes.
"Why don't we head back? Then you can wash off the sand" I asked him.
"Third train ride today" he mumbled, he didn't look happy about it. I forgot about his motion sickness.
"Or we could stay at an inn for the night and go home tomorrow" I offered. Rogue looked at me and smiled. I nearly melted at his smile. It's such a rare sight.
I turned and looked at the ocean. The sky was a lovely shade of pink and orange.
"Rogue, look at the sky" I told him.
"It's quite beautiful" he stated. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. I started to walk back but I fell in the hole that Frosch had made. To make matters worse, a wave had filled the hole up with water so now I was sandy as well as cold.
Rogue laughed at me and Frosch was giggling too. He held out his hand to help me up but a wave hit him and knocked him on me. This time it was me who laughed.
"Stop laughing" he pouted. It was the first and probably last time I'd seen him pout.
"Make me" I managed to say. I suddenly felt his lips on mine. I was quite shocked but gave into the kiss and kissed him back.
We moved in synch and his tongue asked for entrance which I gave him. Our tongues fought a battle for dominance which I lost. Unfortunately we are human and require oxygen. We broke apart breathing heavily.
"That's quite an effective way of making someone keep quiet" I stated with a blush on my cheeks.
"I thought so too" he said with a smirk on his face. I nearly forgot that we were stuck in a hole.
When we got out of the water filled hole Rogue went to find Frosch.
"Lucy I can't find him" I heard him shout. This feels like déjà vu.
We followed his footprints but that plan soon failed when we discovered that he went into town.
"I thought that he was catching crabs? Why would he go into town for that?" I asked.
"He was, but it's getting dark so we have to find him" Rogue sounded really panicked.
We were searching and before we knew it, an hour had passed.
"Lucy-sama, Rogue-sama, Why are you here?" We turned around to see Yukino.
"Yuki-chan" I said while giving her a hug. "Have you seen Frosch?"
"No I haven't I'm sorry, I'll help you look though" she said, we thanked her and resumed our search.
"Rogue, look" I said while pointing at the ground. There was a trail of sand leading out of town.
"There must be sand stuck in his suit" Yukino suggested. We followed the trail but it soon ran out. By then we were out of the town and on a one way path leading to the next town. We headed in that direction.
"So Yuki-chan what were you doing in Lavender town?" (Don't laugh T^T) I asked her.
"I finished my training so I wanted to join a guild" she told us.
"Why doesn't she come to Fairytail?" Rogue suggested.
"That's a great idea!" I squealed.
"Can I?" she asked nervously.
"I'm sure master would agree with it! Plus then we can work together with our spirits. I just got two new ones" I trailed off as I realised where we were. Rogue and Yukino were as shocked as me.
We were in Lomber town, where the Sabertooth guild was.
"What's he doing here?" Yukino asked. Both Yukino and Rogue were kicked out of Sabertooth so I imagine that they weren't too happy with being here.
We headed into the town and searched everywhere but we avoided Sabertooth. It was now midnight and Frosch must be exhausted. We had searched everywhere. We were up the road from the Sabertooth guild and I was cold and tired but we had to find him. I could see that Rogue was panicking now.
"Are you cold?" Rogue asked me. I nodded and I soon felt him put his cloak around me. I smiled at him. We heard a gasp and saw Yukino staring at us. She grabbed me by the shoulders and started shaking me.
"Tell me everything Lucy-sama! You two make such an adorable couple! Why didn't you tell me sooner? You could have sent a letter! How long have you been together? Don't deny it! Tell me all the details!" I blushed at her rant but I was getting dizzy from being shaken. Who would've thought that Yukino was like Mira? I just hope she doesn't start asking about babies. I briefly looked over her shoulders.
"There's Frosch!" I saw the exceed standing outside the Sabertooth guild crying his eyes out. Yukino stopped shaking me and we started to run to him.
"He made it to the wrong guild again. This is beginning to become a habit of his" I heard Rogue say and Yukino agree. I was confused. Has he done this before?
"I'll explain later Lucy-chan" Yukino told me as we ran to Frosch.
"Rogue, Fro missed you! Fro tried to make it back but Fro failed again. Fro always gets lost" he started crying even more which broke my heart. If he cries anymore I'll start crying too. Rogue picked him up and comforted him and he, thankfully, stopped crying.
"What is trash like you doing here?" I stiffened.
Is this a good chapter? Sorry I'm not so good at the romantic scenes…
If you're wondering why it took so many chapters to get to the romantic scenes it's because I love it when they slowly fall in love.
