Hello minna! AnimeLover784 here. I have to say I am so sorry! I have not updated in forever! * sweatdrop * I have gotten a lot of reviews with people getting on my back so...cookies for everyone to apologize! Anyway I have been on vacation and away from my computer. Then I got lost on the path of life. (Hint, hint. Wink, wink) Without further ado, the next chapter of my story!
Chapter 5:
Straw-hat ship, Lucy's POV:
After we set sail, I immediately felt drowsy. I set Happy down on the deck (Yeah that's a great idea Lucy! Lucy: Hey, I was sleepy! Me:Hay is for horses :p) and went below deck to claim a room. I took the first one I saw, dropped my bag on the floor, and face planted on the bed. I feel asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Luffy's POV (Bet you weren't expecting that!):
'I really like my new nakama. She seemed very nice. Maybe she can cook! Though she seems more of a fighter with what happened earlier. I am curious about that blue cat we saw her carrying. I don't see how it could be her friend. I feel very hungry. I bet no one would notice if I ate some meat.' I smiled then started walking towards the kitchen.
*Timeskip *
Lucy's POV:
I woke up and noticed by the sun shining through the window that it was late morning. I got up and changed my clothes, pushing away the feeling that I was forgetting something as I looked at myself in the mirror. I wrinkled my nose as I took my appearance in. These clothes had to go I if I wanted to forget the past and make a new start. I resolved to buy a new wardrobe of clothes, maybe a different style, at the next port. Then I suddenly remembered what I had forgotten. I had left Happy, on the deck, when he didn't know any of the crew! I raced up to the deck and looked frantically around for the cheerful blue cat. I didn't see him anywhere, only Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. I couldn't remember where I had put him the night before. " Has anyone seen Happy?!" I asked them in a slightly panicked voice. You can't blame me, I mean my best friend had disappeared. Nami stopped staring at the crow's nest and looked at me. ' Why was she looking at the crow's nest?' I thought confused but brushed it off. " He woke up about 5 minutes ago, freaked out when he saw us, and climbed up into the crow's nest. I tried to use fish to lure him down but he didn't even show that he heard me. So this blockhead," Nami pointed at Zoro who I just noticed was nursing a huge bump on his head, sitting on the floor next to Luffy who was doing the same thing. " Decided it was a great idea to threaten him. He said if, Happy was it, didn't come down he would slice him up and use him to make stew. Happy just squeaked in fear so I hit Zoro upside the head. Luffy laughed at him then the baka sugggested he climb up there and bring Happy down and tie him up until you woke up. So I hit him on the head too." I stared at the 2 boys on the floor then sighed and said, "You should have just woken me up." I turned back to Nami. " Has he said anything yet?" "What?" I just shook my head and took the fish from Nami. " I'll go get him." I started climbing with the fish in my hand. It was hard but I made it. I stepped in the crow's nest. " Happy?" "Lucy? Is that you?" I saw his head peak out from behind the pole and heard him scream, "Lushee!" before feeling him barrel into my chest. I stumbled back a little from the force. " Lushee! I'm so glad your here! I woke up and I saw strangers but I didn't see you so I ran away! And one said they would cut me up and make me into stew! I don't want to be stew! Please don't leave me again!" He cried. I calmed him down then said," Don't worry Happy. Those were just my new friends." I gave him the fish and he thanked me before eating. While he did that, I looked over the edge and saw that Zoro and Luffy had recovered and all three of the straw-hats were looking up worriedly. I waved to show them everything was good before turning back to happy just in time to see him finish the fish. "hey Happy? Could you fly us back down to the deck so I can introduce you to my friends?" He nodded and his wings appeared. Happy wrapped his tail around my waist before flying down and setting me in front of Nami, Zoro, and Luffy before landing on my head as his wings disappeared. I smirked at them as they gaped at Happy. I couldn't wait to see their reactions when he started talking if they were surprised he could fly. I think Happy was thinking the same thing because he laughed before saying, "Hello! My name is Happy!" their reactions were priceless! Nami freaked out and backed up quickly, Zoro pulled out two of his swords and got in a defencive stance, and Luffy's jaw dropped and his eyes grew huge before he smiled. "That's so cool! My names Luffy, will you join my pirate crew!?"
*Huge Timeskip *
It had been 3 weeks since Happy and I joined the Straw-hat Pirate crew. Nami and Zoro have gotten used to Happy and for that I am thankful. Happy and I have slowly gooten used to the lifestyle of pirates. In a way it was like being on a ship with Team Natsu. The thought of my old friends still felt like a fresh wound. I haven't told them about my past life yet, though I have a feeling that I will have to soon. I HAD told them about me being a mage and intruduced all my spirits to them. Right now, I was thinking about what type of clothes I should buy at the next port. My current clothes reminded me of Fairy Tail and how they had treated me and broke my heart. I often wondered if they had noticed I had left yet and if they felt worried or upset if they had. Every time I would shake my head and mentally scold myself. Like I was now. 'Don't think about them Lucy. They don't deserve it for the way they treated you!' (Damn straight!) I was broken out of my thoughts when Nami yelled, "Lucy! We found land!" Happy cheered and I smiled before he landed on my head and I made my way to the upper deck. Luffy was bouncing up and down in excitement. "MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!" I felt a tick mark apper on my head. "Lucy KICK!" I yelled as I kicked Luffy and he flew across the ship. "10 points!" Happy, Zoro, and Nami said simultaneously, each holding up a sign that said '10'. I laughed as Luffy shotup and raced towards me screaming. I got into a fighting stance. Nami and Zoro had taught me hand-to-hand combat and sword fighting. In fact, I was planning on getting a katana or two when I got some new clothes. I was just about to 'Lucy Kick' Luffy again when Loke(Leo) showed up. He punched Luffy in the face with one hand while pushing his glasses up with his other. Then he turned to me and asked, " Are you hurt princess?" But he backed away as a dark aura surrounded me. "I was handling it fine on my own! You didn't need to butt in!" I yelled at him. Then we started arguing.
Nami's POV:
Zoro and I laughed as Lucy and Loke argued and Happy tried to stop them. About a week after she had joined the crew, Luffy had asked why she had keys on her belt. She explained she was a celestial mage and them introduced her spirits to us. I could tell she cared deeply for them and they felt the same of her. 3 days after that, she had asked Zoro and I to help her fight so she wouldn't have to rely so much on her spirits. I also had seen her training with her spirits. It was obvious she felt she was weak, and I felt it had something to do with her past. When ever we asked her about it though, she would always get a pained look on her face and her eyes filled with tears so we stopped asking. I don't see how she could think she was weak. She was actually really strong.
Zoro's POV:
I have really learned to like Lucy. She feels like a little sister to me. And she is great at sword fighting too. She is so good I bet so would be able to beat me in a full out fight. She is best with two katanas but still good with just one.
Ok another chapter done! I am sorry if some characters seem OOC. It might be a while before I update again because I really need ideas for what the letters should say. *sweatdrops * I didn't think that far ahead so... Cookies and cake to those who can help my with ideas! Ja Nae!~
