A/N: So I decided to update this chapter instead of doing my organic chemistry assignment. So please be extra nice to me and leave a review.

I don't own Fairy Tail. Mr. Mashima does

Chapter 5:

The sun beat down relentlessly as Lucy made her way to the Fairy Hills. As she walked on the path she was mentally reviewing her plan in order to retrieve her needed information from Evergreen. Luckily she remembered her tour from the previous visit so she knew the layout of the dorms. The only problem she could encounter and knew she would was the red haired S-class mage. Lucy knew sneaking away from her would be the hardest task of all.

However Lucy planned for this problem. All she needed left was some luck and it would be a sealed deal. "Hi Lucy," Erza greeted her, "I'm so glad you here early. I have plenty of things planned for today and even bought a cheesecake while we discuss your future relationship with Natsu." Lucy returned her friends greeting and went inside her room. Two hours later and Erza was still on the topic on her and Natsu's future relationship. The current subject was would their relationship affect the dynamics of the team. According to Erza it would not affect them so much as long as they kept the affectionate touches to the minimal and if they wanted some kinky time , the key was do it far away from the camp so she and Gray would not hear.

As Erza took a breath from her chat, Lucy quickly interrupted and asked: "Can I go to the bathroom Erza?" Erza quickly replied: "Of course, silly me. I have been such a terrible hostess. Please you should hit me on your return." Lucy sweat dropped at this response and fled the room. Hey she didn't claim her plan had an elaborate scheme with précised details. All it had to do was work. The bathroom excuse always worked all the time.

Using her memory as a guide Lucy quickly located Evergreen's room and knocked on the door. She heard a faint voice that called come in and entered. The room was exactly as she remembered a room filled with Statues and enormous and extravagant flowers. "Lucy. Hello I was not expecting you here. What can I do to help?" Evergreen said. Lucy replied: "Oh hello Evergreen. No I just dropped by for a visit as Erza needed to go check on something. We were just talking in her room." Evergreen nodded at Lucy reply and then offered her some tea to which Lucy gracefully accepted.

The tea was very exquisite. I t was nothing like Juvia's tea, cough, Spicy soup that she had drank from her last visit. On enquiring its flavor Evergreen told Lucy it was a rare flower found in the Snow Mountains. It seemed Evergreen was passionate about Flowers in all forms. Afterwards Lucy decided to begin the questioning.

"So tell me Evergreen how did you join Laxus's team?" She asked. Evergreen said: "Well , I remember it like yesterday. My home was a small town in an isolated range of mountains. We lived a happy life until one day Bandits attacked our village. They stole the children from our village for the Tower of Heaven project and murdered all the adults in cold blood. I tried to run and hide but two of the bandits found me. They were going to take me along when my figures eyes had activated. They became stone instantly and I ran horrified thinking I had killed them and I was now a murderer. Laxus found me after that and even though I told him repeatedly not to come near me and I was a murderer or he will turn to stone, he knelt by me and look me in the eye where absolutely no fear was present even though he witnessed those two men turned to stone by my eyes and asked if he would like to join him and his guild. His exact words I remember were "You are strong. I could use the help of someone strong like you "after that I have never looked back and ended being on his team till the current time."

Lucy was quiet after hearing Evergreen's story. It seemed like he had a good and kind character one she was beginning to see especially after Tenroujima. So after that Lucy asked Evergreen when was the last time she had been on a mission with Laxus. Evergreen replied that it was just over two weeks .However after Evergreen answered this question a suspicious light had entered Evergreen's eyes and she said: "Nah Lucy; Bixlow and Freed told me that yesterday you asked them about Laxus as well. Don't tell you are interested in him?" Lucy froze; she did not know what to say. Well what was the correct answer? Yes she was interested in him in order to get to the bottom of her mystery but it wasn't the interested that Evergreen had meant.

Lucy opened her mouth in order to reply when Evergreen seemed to take her silence as a yes to the answer to her question. She smirked lightly and commented: "Well Lucy, I never knew you were into the big muscle kind of type. I was always figured you like the lean ones with wiry muscle. Like Gray or Natsu. But that's good you know what they say about big boys. You guys will have a wild of a time"

Lucy felt a sense of Deja vu . It was the same feeling of banging her head on the table again and again .What was with her guild and their pervertedness? Never mind that what was her guild and pairing her with all the males members? Sure a girl wanted a guy in her life but she wasn't looking for one currently. And never mind the fact Laxus was exactly her kind of dream guy with the enormous muscles and amazing height. Lucy was sure that she wore her highest pair of heels she would only come up to Laxus nose. Wait what was she doing? He was a suspect in her investigation not some crush.

Lucy quickly collected her thoughts and told Evergreen who WAS STILL SMIRKING: "Erza will be looking for me. I better go." "Sure Lucy No problem. Your secret is safe with me don't worry; if you need help with getting Laxus attention come to me. After all I am the queen of Fairies. A little romance is nothing to me." Evergreen replied. Lucy muttered her good byes and left the room .She reached Erza room and apologized for her absence. Erza replied: " It is fine Lucy . I was just coming to see if you needed help. After all we are guild mates are we not? And guild mates help each other with everything." Lucy groaned to herself silently. Sometimes her guild took the word "help" way too literally.

That evening Lucy sat down to record in her logbook the case's progress .Surprisingly Natsu was not there, She wondered where he was but if he was not here more bed space for herself.

Logbook:

Entrance three: Day three after incident.

Motive: Still unknown

People involved: Laxus and Alex

Crime: Same as previous entrance.

Any Evidence: No new evidence. Today was really not a productive day in terms of progress for the case.

Note: Today I found out that Laxus really does her a kind nature that he seems to hide after hearing about Evergreen's story .Speaking about evergreen today she had the nerve to suggest I like Laxus. Laxus is my number one suspect in this case. Who has ever heard of a crime Detective falling in love with her suspect? No one it's a bizarre and unusual thing. Laxus may be a nice guy inside and out but until this case is solved there is no love in the nearby future for this detective. I need to make some breakthroughs in this case. I'm hoping Laxus will return tomorrow so I can question him. That would lead to some answer if not I think it's time to take a trip to the camp again.
