Hey everyone! Sorry Rogue and Fro weren't really in this chapter! D: , they will be in the upcoming ones. I'm just trying to think when. But I'll be trying to add two more chapters tomorrow! :)

As Lucy woke up she noticed Sting had his arms wrapped around her. She turned and Stings face was inches away from Lucy's. He's so cute when he sleeps. WAIT. What am I saying!? She thought.

She then turned around to face Lector who had an evil grin on his face.

"You llllikee him!" Lector started making kissy noises and calling out Sting's name.

Sting woke up to the loud racket his partner was making. "Lector what are you doing?"

"Well you see Sting-kun; I was imitating Fairy-san before you woke up!"

Lucy's eyes widened smiling she said, "You liar! You're just like Happy!" Then the thought of Happy made her smile disappear. It was true no matter how many times Happy annoyed the crap out of her; she missed the little blue cat.

"You miss your friends don't you" Sting paused, "How about we go visit your guild?"

Lucy's eyes brightened as she went to hug Sting "Thank you! Thank you so much!" Tears of joy started streaming down her face, as she brightly smiled at him like the one she did at Natsu.

"Well let's just eat breakfast and then go!" Lucy said happily.

"Heh alright blondie. Whatever you want."

After breakfast Sting, Lucy, and Lector started heading towards the train station to catch the train for Magnolia. Lucy was thinking of what her friends will think when she comes back, or mostly what they will think when Sting is with her.

With Team Natsu:

Erza stepped out of the train, "Natsu, Gray we finally made it."

Gray then stepped out of the train, dragging a motion sick Natsu on the ground.

"Of course this idiot gets motion sickness." Gray sighed, "Flame-brain can't take some movement."

Natsu then got up immediately. He sniffed the air; there was no doubt about it. He smelled vanilla and strawberries, mixed with some unfamiliar scent.

"No doubt about it" Natsu cracked his knuckles, "I smell Lucy and she's close by!"

"Damn Flame-brain, that nose of yours it's like you're a damn dog."

"At least I'm not an ice princess!"

Erza started dragging Gray and Natsu on the ground, "Well Natsu lead us to Lucy!"

(Present POV : )

Lucy and Sting were pretty quiet the whole walk to the station. Until Sting broke the silence.

He sniffed the air around, Lucy thought Sting was just acting like a dog purposely.

"I smell Natsu, and he's not alone. He's with Erza and Gray."

Lucy's eyes widened, as she then finally saw Team Natsu coming towards them.

"LUCCCCY" Natsu screamed, he was running faster than he ever could.

"Natsu! Wait for us!" Erza and Gray hollered as they tried to keep up with Natsu.

"Looks like you friends came to you blondie."

He then stopped, and looked at Sting who just showed him a straight face.

"Luce, you smell different. Not your usual only vanilla and strawberries scent."

Sting smirked "That's because Lucy's my mate" he put his arm around Lucy, "That's right; I marked Lucy before you could Natsu-san."

Erza's mouth dropped all the way open, her eyes went completely white in shock.

"Mark? What the hell is he like a vampire or something?" Gray thought as he tried to picture Sting as a vampire.

They all looked at Natsu who was the most shocked. Natsu felt like he was paralyzed, he couldn't move or scream or do anything. His legs collapsed as he knelt to the ground.

"No, no you're lying" Natsu then looked at Lucy, "Luce please tell me he's lying."

Lucy looked at Natsu she has never seen Natsu this emotional. Especially to the point that he's kneeling on the ground, refusing to accept the truth.

"It isn't a lie Natsu..." Lucy said quietly, "It's true, Sting did mark me." As she finished her sentence she tried holding back the tears.

Natsu then stood up and walked over to Sting, "May I have permission to be near Lucy?"

"Eh, just this once I'll do something nice for you."

Natsu approached Lucy and then unexpectedly hugged Lucy. Sting then shot him a glare, and clutched his fist. He tightly hugged her and then released her. Natsu then smiled at Lucy and said,

"Lucy, I just wanted to finally tell you this. I've liked you since the start, wait not even like, loved. You were always that one girl that believed in me through everything. No matter how much of a knuckle head I was, you always were there. To be honest, I always thought I was going to be the one to mark you and make you my mate" he looked at Sting who was growling in his throat, "But you have Sting now, and that's all you need. You're my best friend after all. If this guy breaks your heart, be sure to tell me because I'll be sending him an ass whooping in no time. But, I wish you a really happy life with Sting! Honestly I do! Don't worry about me! Even though I can't be with you, I am your best friend!"

Lucy stood there tears streaming down her face, "N-Natsu thank you. Thank you for accepting this. That really touched my heart. You're honestly the best friend anyone could ask for."

Natsu then smiled the biggest smile he has ever done, "No problem Luce!"

Erza then walked up to Lucy giving her the biggest hug ever, "I missed my little sister." Lucy hugged Erza back, "And I missed my big sister as well!"

Gray waved at Lucy; he was a little paranoid at how Sting was looking at him, as if he was going to touch Lucy or something, so he just kept his distance.

As Erza and Lucy started to catch up on how things at the guild were going on, Gray walked up to Natsu.

"Hey retard, I can't believe that you actually confessed to Lucy."

Natsu looked at Gray giving him a slight smirk. He then turned his attention to Sting.

"Now listen here Sting, you better treat Lucy as a princess. Treat her especially right. She's your mate after all. Stick by her side at all times, and don't let her get hurt. And most importantly don't break her heart or you're going to have to answer to me."

Sting watched as Natsu's fist started to turn into flames and then it went back to normal.

"So what're you guys planning on doing now?" Lucy asked her friends.

"Well the main mission was to come get you because we had a feeling you were in some sort of trouble, but looks like we guessed wrong."

"I guess it's time for us to head back ..." Erza whispered, "I'm going to miss you Lucy."

Lucy looked at Erza "Hey! Don't be sad! Sting and I were actually planning to head to Magnolia right now as a visit!"

Erza's eyes brightened, "In that case let's go!" She dragged Gray, Natsu, and Lucy while heading to the train back to Magnolia. Sting started following after Erza with Lector, he watched as Lucy laughed with her friends.

"Sting-kun, are you alright?" he asked as he watched Sting walk and stare at them at the same time.

"Yeah I'm fine Lector" he smiled a small smile, "It makes me happy knowing Lucy's happy."

"Oi, Stingy bee! Get on the train!" Lucy shouted happily waving her arm in the air.

Sting smiled, as he stepped onto the train. He sat down next to Lucy and on the other side of Lucy was Erza who was eating her usual sweets. Gray and Natsu sat in front of them.

"So are you like some vampire dragon slayer or some shit? Since you were talking about a mark earlier. Gray asked confused.

"No I'm not a freaking vampire dragon slayer; it's a dragon slayer's way of mating."

"Isn't that something that animals do?"

Then the train started to move, Natsu and Sting then fell to the ground both of their faces greenish with a tint of purple. They were out of it alright.

"I guess I was right." Gray said as he looked at them both squirming on the floor like worms.

"Say Erza, have you and Jellal stepped up to the next level yet?" Lucy said as she nudged her with an evil grin.

Erza choked on her strawberry, as her face turned the color of her hair, "N-no, but I think we're getting close to that."

"Don't worry Erza, it will happen! I mean you guys have known each other for a while now! So I don't see any other reason why not! I'll make it work Erza!"

Erza was getting so embarrassed she immediately looked out the window and pretended to fall asleep.

"Sting-kun is the best dragon slayer in the world he can beat Natsu any day!" Lector smirked at Happy.

"Hah in his dreams! Natsu is! He had the guts to go against your guild and fight your master!"

Lucy smiled as the two exceeds went backwards and fore ward sending statements on how their dragon slayer was the best by this achievement and how many strong people they've defeated.

Lucy couldn't be any happier right now, she was surrounded by the people she loved the most. And she couldn't believe herself but that included Sting as well.

Lucy started staring at Sting who was still squirming with Natsu, and she smiled at him.

"You lllikee him!" Lector and Happy said in unison.

"I was right, you both are alike. Having dragon slayers as your partners, both exceeds, and now you talk in unison."

Lucy then stood up and sat down in between Sting and Natsu; she gently grabbed both of their heads and laid them down on her lap. After all, when Lucy did this to Natsu he said it helped him with his motion sickness.

She smiled at them both, to think one was her mate and the other was her best friend. She then rested her head on the seat and drifted off.

.

"Hey! All of you! Wake up we're here in Magnolia" Erza got up and kicked both Natsu and Sting on the leg, "Oh stop complaining you too. The train already stopped we've arrived."

Lucy then woke up to the sound of Erza's wake up calls. It was nighttime and they finally arrived at Magnolia. I'm finally back home she thought. Once Lucy stood up, Sting grabbed her by the arm and grinned at her.

"After all it's natural for us to be doing this" Sting explained.

Lucy, Sting, Natsu, Erza, and Gray then started heading towards Fairy Tail. Of course, Sting was kind of worried. Not that he would get seriously injured or anything but since Fairy Tail and Sabertooth are rivals, he was wondering on how Fairy Tail will react when they see him.

They stopped at the entrance of the guild, and Lucy couldn't help but smile. She opened the door of the guild, and happily yelled "I'm home!"

The whole guild turned to Lucy and started welcoming her back and cheering!"

"Welcome back Lucy-chan!" Levy said happily.

"Bunny girl. Welcome back!" Gajeel said.

"Lucy! You finally came back!" said Wendy and Romeo in unison which caused them to blush.

"Well if it isn't Lucy. Welcome back kid!" said Laxus.

"Lucy! It's so good to see you!" said Mira and Lisanna.

"I told you Lucy would come back! Because she's a man!" said Elfman.

"Welcome *hic* back Lucy!" said Cana.

"Love rival! Welcome back!" said Juvia.

"Hey everyone" Lucy said cheerfully, she then turned back to Sting who just stood silent. She headed towards Sting and grabbed him by the arm, to accompany her.

Everyone's jaw dropped at the scene, "Yes it is what it seems. I'm Sting's mate, and I hope you all can accept this!"

"Of course we can Lucy! We're nakamas! We'll be by side you by anything! Everyone's family here. That even includes you Sting" Master Makarov continued, "Since your arrival and your new life as a mate I say we throw a celebration first thing tomorrow, you must be tired so you must get your sleep!"

"Whatever you say Master!" Lucy then waved everyone goodbye and goodnight, as she, Sting, and Lector headed towards Lucy's apartment.
