"And because of his hate for Christians, Nero was believed to cause the fire. The fire had a great impact on the Roman Empire, so you can see how knowing the cause is important." Lucy watched the history teacher turned around to write something on the board. She was sure she would die if she had to listen to another minute of a lecture on Rome.

Luckily, someone came to her rescue. The door creaked open, earning the attention of everyone in the room.

The teacher sighed. "Natsu, Loke, what do you need?"

"We just need to take Lucy," Loke said. He held up his student council band, forcing the teacher to let Lucy leave.

"Honestly, its the last period of her first day," the teacher mumbled under his breath. Lucy smiled and quickly grabbed her things, running out of the room

"You guys are the best," Lucy said, slinging her backpack over her shoulder.

"Don't worry, we know," Natsu said with a smirk.

The three walked to the Student Council room. Jellal and Erza were doing paperwork, Mira was talking to Lisanna, Gajeel and Gray were playing with a paper football, and Wendy and Levy had their noses in a book. Natsu and Loke joined the football game. Lucy decided to see what Levy and Wendy were reading.

"It's a book on The Cursed Child," Wendy said.

"What's that?" Lucy asked.

"It's an old myth," Levy explained. "There's all sorts of fictional books on it."

"Well what's the curse?" Lucy asked.

"It's different every time, but the idea is always the same," Wendy said. "There is always a cursed child. She has a gift relating to the dead. She usually predicts deaths, though."

"Does she find a way to break the curse?" Lucy asked. Levy shook her head. "Are you sure?"

"Here, you can borrow the book," Levy said, closing the leather-bound book. "You seem interested. They have a whole section at the local library about this, so you can go there to find more."

"Thank you," Lucy said with a smile. She put the book in her satchel backpack. When she looked back at Levy and Wendy, they were already reading another book. She sighed a happy sigh and went over to Natsu and Gray.

"You suck at this!" Natsu laughed, pointing a finger at Loke.

"Give him a break," Gray said. "Pretty boys aren't good at sports."

"Very funny," Loke said. His face brightened when he saw Lucy. He immediately stood up and put his arm around her. "Hey Princess, what's your beautiful face doing over here? Coming to see me perhaps?"

"Uh, no," Lucy said. She moved his arm off of her. "Gray, you need to take me home."

"Why me?" Gray asked, tipping his head back so he had an upside down view of Lucy.

"Natsu has a date, you pass by my house on your way home, and I don't know where I'm going," she explained. Just then, the bell rang, signaling the end of the school day. "Perfect! Let's get going." She grabbed the collar of his shirt and lifted him up. As she was dragging him out of the room, Gajeel made a whipping sound. She couldn't help but laugh at that.

"Thanks for walking me home," Lucy said.

"It's on my way, right?" Gray asked.

"Yeah," she laughed. "See you tomorrow!" She waved to him before walking up the three steps to her front door. The second she stepped inside, the smell of chocolate filled her nose. She skipped the kitchen.

"Hey, Luce," Laxus said. He was wearing a frilly pink apron, frosting a cake.

"You look cute," Lucy said, sitting on one of the bar stools.

"Shut up," Laxus said. "Someone destroyed my other one, so I had to use her's."

"I told you not to let me cook!" Lucy defended herself. "I told you I would burn your apron, but you didn't listen. You should really start listening to me."

"You're so bossy," Laxus said, throwing the frosting bag in the garbage can. "Remind me why I'm here?" He wiped the frosting off his hands and looked at the finished cake.

"For one, we're partners. And you're the one that requested that, because we were friends. And I quote! 'I'm not going to let you go with some old guy who won't be any fun.' It's completely your fault that you have to deal with me," she said. She ran her finger over the cake, scooping up some frosting. She earned herself a glare as she put the finger in her mouth. She smiled at the fact that he made a strawberry cake with chocolate frosting, her favorite.

"So did you finish?" Laxus grabbed a knife and started cutting the cake. He grabbed two plates and put a piece on each. He put a fork on both plates and slid one to Lucy.

"I still have to report a few more," she said. She picked up a piece of the cake and put the fork in her mouth, holding it there while she opened her backpack. She pulled out her notebook. She pulled the fork out of her mouth and set it on her plate. "We need to go to the park tonight."

"Which one?" He leaned over to look at the notebook.

"Lyon Milkovich," she said. "I saw posters on the way home about a mini festival at the park for little kids. I looked him up in the database, and he's eight. I'm sure he will be there."

"Pedifile," Laxus said with a smirk.

Lucy picked up her cake with her hands and pressed it to Laxus' face. "You know I have to," she said. He picked up his cake and threw it at her.

Thus, the cake war started.

"Ultear!" Gray yelled, chasing after his little sister. For a five-year-old, she ran really fast.

"You can't catch me!" she laughed. She screamed when he picked her up. "Gray! That's not fair!"

"It's not fair for you to run off," he said. He moved her onto his shoulders. She giggled and grabbed his hair for support. "Let's go find your brother."

Gray walked towards the benches. Dozens of parents were gathered there, talking while their kids played. He didn't understand the point of the festival, but Lyon wanted to go, so he brought him like the awesome big brother he is. He set Ultear down, and she ran over to Lyon, who was swinging not too far away with a little girl with pink hair.

"I still have cake in my hair!" he heard a man whine. He looked over his shoulder and saw Lucy walking with the blonde guy from that morning. She smiled at him and picked what looked like frosting from his hair.

Gray walked over to her. "Hey, Lucy," he said. She looked a little surprised to see him. "What are you doing here?"

"Big crowd, huh?" she asked. He found it odd how she quickly changed the subject.

"Are you a friend?" the blonde man asked.

"Right, this is Gray," Lucy said. "This is Laxus."

"Nice to meet you," Gray said. He felt a tug on his pant leg. He looked down and saw Ultear. He quickly picked her up.

"Gray!" she whined. "They won't let me swing! They said I'm too annoy'n!"

"Alright, I'll go with you," he said, which made Ultear smile. He looked back to Lucy and Laxus. "I'll talk to you guys later, okay?" He went over to the swings.

"Okay, let's go find this Lyon kid," Laxus said. Lucy pulled her phone out. She typed in Lyon's name. A picture of a boy with spiky white hair came up.

"Text me if you find him," Lucy said, showing him the picture. They quickly split up.

Lucy walked around the large park, dodging kids. There were dozens of kids, running around and laughing. She quickly checked the swings, not wanting to be seen by Gray. She thought it was adorable how he was so nice to the little girl, whoever she was. Next, she checked the slides. She saw a girl with pink hair talking to a boy with white hair, whose back was to Lucy.

"Excuse me," she said, tapping his shoulder. He turned around to face her and blushed. "Are you Lyon?" she asked in the sweetest voice she could.

"Y-yes," he stuttered nervously. He wasn't sure who she was, but she was really pretty, in his eyes.

Without hesitating, she grabbed his shoulders and pressed her lips against his.

Thanks for all the reviews! I decided to make Ultear and Lyon younger.
