Recently, I've been feeling inspired to write so here you go, a new chapter. I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does. Enjoy and review.

Chapter 7: The Wise and the Wet

Lucy's POV

It's been two months since I began to train with Laxus and obtained Ares and Aphrodite's gems. Since then, no god has appeared but I'm not in much of a hurry because of my training. So far, I can summon three zodiac spirits at the same time for an hour without getting tired, my physical endurance has gone up a lot because of all the training that Laxus puts me through, and I almost have the magical capability to cast Urano Metroia by myself, without Gemini's help. I am also able to summon a god for half an hour before I begin to get tired. So far, I'm proud of how I've improved but I also know that there is a long way for me to go before I can be satisfied.

Around 6:30 I woke up ready for another day of training. Ever since I began to train with Laxus, he's made it clear that everyday I would have to wake up at 6:30 but since he wants me to get enough rest, he lets me go to bed around 10. Sometimes I'm still tired because sometimes I stay up either reading or writing more to my parents and adding things to my novel.

While getting ready for the day, I noticed that Laxus was still asleep. This gave me a great idea and I silently walked over to the sink and filled a bucket full of water. I silently walked over to where Laxus was laying asleep and murmured to myself, "This will show you to sleep in when you don't let me sleep in." I then poured the water all over his face and he immediately woke up and began coughing to get rid of the water that got into his mouth. "Damn it Lucy, what the hell was that for?!"

"It's not my fault you decided to sleep in. This will teach you to sleep in when you don't let me sleep in." Laxus's eyebrow twitched, probably out of annoyance and then said, "You will regret doing that Lucy. I was planning on giving you the day off today and letting you go into town to shop but now not only are you going to train, but it will be twice as hard as usual." "Wait Laxus, I'm sorry! Please please please let me have the day off! I promise not to do this anymore." He just stayed there for a while not saying anything and I knew he was thinking about something. I started getting nervous when he began to grin and turned to me and said, "All right you can have the day off, but tonight, we will go to dinner and you will have to pay, so make sure you leave enough money for that."

I didn't have to think about it for more than a second because a day off is what I really need right now. "Deal. Now come on, let's go to the beach! I haven't been to one in a long time."

"The beach? I thought you would want to go shopping?" I laughed at that and said, "That too, but first let's go to the beach! That way when we go shopping we can immediately go to dinner after I'm done."

"Hold up, you mean to tell me that you plan to spend ALL of your day off shopping and at the beach?"

"Of course silly! It's been a long time since I did either." I laughed as he had a look that said that he was regretting giving me the day off, and even though he tried to hide it, I managed to hear him say, "This is going to be a long day."

Timeskip to Beach

"Look Laxus! Isn't the beach pretty!" I was so excited about this. I hadn't been to a beach for a long time, so obviously I was acting a lot more crazy than most people. I was running around the beach laughing and splashing Laxus whenever we got close to the water. Behind my back, I heard Laxus yell, "Oi Woman calm down. You look like a five year old running around like that. Just relax and enjoy the beach like an adult." I turned and smiled at him, saying, "Sorry, It's not my fault I haven't been to a beach in a long time. I'm just excited, is all." "Fine but come over here, It's time for lunch." As I was walking back to where Laxus was sitting with out lunch, I couldn't help but think how this looked like a date, which of course got me blushing a little. Before I could reach Laxus though, something shot out of the water and landed in front of me, while at the same time, something else appeared next to it. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the thing that came out of the water was actually a man wearing a cloth like Zeus's, except his barely covered his chest, showing off his chest. He had blue hair and in his right hand, he held a trident that was about the same size as his entire body. He had blue eyes and was currently kneeling down in front of me.

Next to her, was a woman that looked like she was in her mid thirties and forties. She had beautiful blonde hair that went down her back. It was tied in a bun at the top which meant that straight, her hair would probably reach all the way to her butt. She was wearing the same type of clothes that Aphrodite wore, except that she was wearing a red cloth with a beautiful diamond necklace around her neck. She had beautiful and perfectly smooth white skin. In a nutshell, she was a gorgeous looking woman.

After I recovered from my initial shock of someone jumping in front of me, I realized that not only were these people still kneeling down in front of me, but that Laxus was now next to me, standing protectively, ready to take anything that these people would throw. Before he did anything though, I spoke up and asked, "Who are you?"

The man was the first to speak. "Hello milady Lucy. My name is Poseidon, the God of the Sea. I am here to join Zeus and the other gods. As the God of the Sea, I am able to control not only water, but any creatures that might be there. I can also be called on land and can fight even if there is no water around, since I can summon my own." After finishing his explanation, the woman spoke up. "Hello milady. My name is Athena. I am the Goddess of wisdom and the arts. I am also Zeus's daughter. I have psychic powers, allowing me to move things with my mind, but I can't control humans or living beings for too long, since they have their own conscious. I am more useful to protect you from incoming objects and attacks, but I am also an excellent tactician, so if you ever need a tactical plan, don't hesitate to call me."

I was surprised at first since once again two gods showed up at the same time, so I couldn't help but ask, "I'm sorry but are you two in some sort of relationship. The only other time that two gods showed up together was when Ares and Aphrodite showed up and they were in a relationship." I heard Laxus snicker at this and quickly elbowed him to be quiet, which got me a grunt as a response.

After a few moments, Poseidon was the one to answer my question. "No milady. The only relationship that Athena and I have are as comrades and fellow gods. We just happened to arrive here at the same time is all." "I see, well it's a pleasure to meet you both, although you did show up right before I was able to eat any lunch, which means that I am a little hungry right now."

This time, Athena was the one to speak up, "A thousand pardons milady, we shall hurry up with the oath so that you may return to your lunch." They both stood up and began to chant, "I, Poseidon/Athena, God of the Sea/Goddess of Wisdom and the Arts, hereby swear my loyalty and strength to your cause and swear upon my life that I will follow you through any and all obstacles you may face in the life of my new master, Lucy Heartfilia." After finishing the chant, they both turned to gems and appeared in the necklace next to the other gems. Poseidon's gem was blue with a trident in the middle of it, while Athena's was a clear colored gem with a beautiful diamond in the middle of it.

After I finished admiring the new gems, I turned to Laxus and said, "Well let's eat! I'm starving! Then we can go shopping and at the end of the day, we can go to dinner, which I have to pay." I said that last part with a pout but then remembered why exactly I had to pay for dinner and decided to be quiet. Laxus on the otherhand, simply grunted about going shopping and said, "This is going to be a long day."

Timeskip to after dinner

Laxus and I were walking bath to our house, with Laxus carrying over fifteen bags from the shopping, while at the same time complaining about how I probably wouldn't even use half of the things that I bought. I simply turned around and smiled at him but then felt a little bad when he almost fell from all the things, but that was it, just a little bad. Once we got home, Laxus dropped all the bags and after sighing in relief, said, "never again." "Aw come on Laxus, it wasn't that bad, I promise that next time I will be easier on you." Inwardly though, I was smirking because it would only be the same, maybe worse if I didn't have to pay for dinner next time. "Besides, you have to admit all that shopping was fun."

Laxus POV

"Besides, you have to admit all that shopping was fun." "Well I wasn't bored." Under my breath, I added, "especially with all of your jumping around." After a couple of minutes of arguing, we decided to get ready to go to bed. Lucy showered first and then it was my turn. After finishing showering, we both got into bed.

"Good night Laxus. Today was really fun."

"Good night Lucy. Sleep well. Tomorrow we restart your training."

"Uhh… right. Well you sleep well too." After a few minutes, Lucy fell asleep and I got up and went up to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead and said, "Of course I will sleep well, you're right here next to me."
