The Princess and Dragon
Chapter 2
Disclaimer~ I do not own Fairy Tail, my ships would have sailed by now if I did.
"What do you mean my daughter didn't make it to the Celestial Kingdom?" Jude asked. Bisca and Alzack looked back and forth at each other .
"W-well when we finally arrived at the Kingdom, we opened the door and she was gone." Bisca stammered. Jude looked off to the side then back at them but only sighed.
"Finally I got rid of the brat!" Jude yelled. Bisca and Alzack looked at each other with eyes as big as dinner plates.
"B-but sir that was your daughter you speaking about." Alzack stuttered out. Bisca gripped at Alzack's arm waiting for yelling, but it never came.
"She was nothing but a nuisance!" Jude scoffed. Jude had silently dismissed Alzack and Bisca out of his studies.
"How could he say those horrible things about Lucy-sama." Bisca said in a tone that sounded like disbelief. Alzack looked at Bisca and knew she was hurt, after Layla had died Bisca was kind of like second mom to Lucy. Alzack took a second glance back at Jude's studies, how could he do this, what if Lucy was hurt or even worse... dead.
Back at the mountain
I walked closely behind Natsu's tail, taking every turn and dodged his tail every now and then. I started to think about home, what would my father think if he knew I ran away to see dragons and live in the wild. He would probably yell or even worse not care at all, I still loved my father somewhere deep, deep down. I would only miss the staff there, they were the kindest of all people. When my mother had passed they had been there for me and tried to fill the hole in my heart, that still wasn't filled. If I kept thinking like this I will never get over my painful memories. Natsu suddenly came to a stopped walking which caused me to bump right in to his tail.
"Finally we are here!" Natsu said. I looked around Natsu to see a huge red door about five feet taller than me, but it was Natsu's perfect size.
"Where are we?" I asked. Natsu showed his teeth to me which I took as a smile.
"My room." Natsu said it like it was obvious. Natsu took his claws and carefully opened the door to reveal a nightmare. I didn't know dragons could be this messy, Natsu moved into the room then looked back towards me.
"Well what are you waiting for?" Natsu called back while moving in the hell hole. I maneuvered around ripped up pillows and burned objects. Natsu walked over to what looked like a huge bed except for dragons this bed was probably like a small room to them. I walked over to the bed in disbelief, the bed in my chamber was big but this was just an understatement. Natsu plopped onto the bed which made creaking sounds under his massive weight, I wasn't calling him fat, or maybe I was, hard to tell when I'm kidding or being serious anymore. As I stood in awe looking at the bed I felt a rush of air past by me. I turned around fast enough to catch the color blue. B-but then I heard a high pitched voice behind me.
"Natsu who's the girl?" Called the voice. I turned slowly but only saw a blue cat, a talking blue cat.
"A TALKING BLUE CAT!" I screamed out in surprise and excitement. First of all I it's a cat that's talking and its blue, things couldn't get any stranger today.
"I have a name you know!" cried the blue cat.
"We'll tell me your name." I said.
"Happy!" Happy beamed. I started giggling but held it in, it was a bit funny his name was an emotion but it was cute.
"Nice to meet you Happy, I am Princess Lucy Heartphilla." Happy's face went from well happy to surprised.
"Ahh... so Natsu finally got a Princess willing." Happy whispered. I looked at him quizzically about to ask him but was interrupted.
"Happy!" Natsu whined. Happy then went back to his original self and flew over to the lazy dragon.
"Natsu! you left me here all alone." Happy whined. Natsu then grinned and pulled Happy into a crashing hug.
"You were sleeping I couldn't wake you up." Natsu said. Happy had easily forgiven Natsu for leaving him and then fell asleep next to his snout. I stood there awkwardly next to the bed not knowing what to do with myself until I was pulled up by two claws and pulled into Happy and Natsu.
"It's been in a long day Luce lets sleep." Natsu muttered. I nodded my head but inside I was internally screaming. I'm cuddling with a dragon and talking cat, when I said today couldn't get any weirder, I stand corrected. I felt my eyes falling heavily and drifted off to sleep, only to be encountered by another memory.
"Bisca do you think my father loves me anymore." Lucy asked. Bisca looked at Lucy with wide eyes and hesitated, she didn't know the answer.
"I think he loves you, but he's just having hard times dealing with the passing of your mother." Bisca replied. I watched my younger self and Bisca talking to each other, these memories weren't as painful as the other ones. I now knew that my father doesn't care for me as much as I want him to, all I ever wanted was a life where I could have family. But I felt like that was a goal I could never reach, it was like a dream I could never catch. I looked back at the scene again but it was a different one, It was my younger self with not Bisca, but it was Natsu and Happy. They were there talking to me and holding me telling me it would be okay, I looked at the scene before me and felt my checks feel damp. I lifted my hand up to my cheek, I was crying but it was tears of happiness.
"I think I found my family, I'm glad I took that risk."
"LUCE WAKE UP!" Natsu roared right in my ear. I bolted straight up and clamped my hands to my head tightly.
"I'M HUMAN YOU KNOW, I HAVE SENSTIVE EARS!" I yelled unintentionally. I think my hearing has be damaged for life.
"Lucy! you get to meet the family today!" Happy beamed.
"There's more dragons?" I asked. I didn't think there was more than just Natsu.
"Well of course you get to meet my dad and cousins also uncles." Natsu said. I looked down at my clothing and then back at Natsu. No way was I going to meet anyone looking like this, my clothes were ripped and torn in place's I wish they weren't.
"Natsu, by any chance do you have any other clothes for women?" I asked shyly. I stopped myself right there, why did I care if Natsu was just a dragon not a man. Natsu glanced at my clothing then thought to himself.
"I don't think you should change." Natsu said. I twitched a bit then tried another way of asking him.
"Do you really think your Family would want to see me in these clothes?" I whined. Natsu looked in the air taking a claw and scratched his snout.
"You've got a point, I'll have Wendy make something for you." Natsu said.
"Thank you Natsu!" I cheered. I was about to hug the huge dragon but thought for a second, was there a catch?
"What's the catch?" I questioned. Natsu put on a devilish smile.
"Ah! so your smarter than you look." Natsu inquired. I sent a glare his way.
"What the hell are you trying to imply?" I asked fuming. Natsu chuckled to himself but never answered my question. Fine, if he was going to be like that then I was going to ignore him too. I got to the edge of the bed preparing to jump off, when suddenly two claws grabbed me from the back of my dress.
"Luigi where do you think you're going?" Natsu asked. I looked back at him only to glare at him then to stare at the wall. The wall would be better conversation than Natsu, the wall doesn't talk.
"I think she's made at you Natsu." Happy spoke. I had totally forgotten Happy was even here, I really need to pay attention to my surroundings from now on.
"What! what did I do?" Natsu whined. That's right Natsu, whine all you want, I'm not backing down.
"I think she thought you called her stupid." Happy stated. Natsu turned me around so that I was facing him and brought me extremely close to his snout. I turned my head so that I didn't have to see his puppy eyes, seeing him do that would surely break me.
"Lucy I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that, I was only teasing," Natsu took his claws to my face and turned it to look him directly. "Please forgive me." Natsu begged. There it was, the puppy eyes, I broke.
"Fine, but don't call me Luigi!" I snapped. Natsu took me in for a bone crushing hug, and when I say bone crushing, I mean my limbs felt as if they would come off.
"Natsu y-your crushing-" I didn't finish my sentence, my face was in a dragons armpit at the moment.
"Natsu I think your killing her." Happy giggled. I was dying in a dragons armpit and he was laughing, I'll get that cat. Natsu relinquished me from his grasp and finally letting me breath.
"Oh Luce the catch is you have to help me cook." Natsu sang. I looked at him for a really long time then busted out laughing.
"Oi! Lucy what's so funny?" Natsu asked.
"I love cooking, you made it sound like it was bad." I replied. Natsu began chuckling, what was he laughing at?
"Lucy this isn't some simple meal." Natsu smirked.
"How bad could it be to make some food." I questioned. Natsu's expression went from happy to painful.
"If I get this year's dinner ruined again they'll kill me." Natsu murmured. What the heck happened last year?
"Lucy I need you to help me make food about for eight dragons," Natsu gulped. "And you have to make sure that each dragon gets the meal they want." Natsu explained. I needed to sit down, I have to help him cook for eight dragons and make sure they get what they want, WHAT DO DRAGONS EVEN EAT?
"U-um what exactly do you guys eat?" I stammered.
"Well me and my dad eight spicy types of food, and Gajeel and his old man eat metal, I can't forget about Wendy and her mom they are vegetarians, and last but not least Laxus and grandpa like surprise." Natsu answered. What the heck did I get myself into, I could do this right... right?
"I already have an idea of what I'm going to cook you and your dad, also Wendy and her mom but the rest are going to be tough." I stated. Natsu looked at me with wide eyes.
"What?" I asked.
"You've just got everything figured out don't you?" Natsu replied. Well at least someone finally acknowledged my abilities. I started thinking about what I could do about the rest, I could always find metal pieces. The last one though, what would I do about them?
"Natsu, I think I've got an idea of what to do for the rest." I stated. Natsu started cheering and lifted me up and then l-licked me.
"N-Natsu what was that for?" I quaked. Natsu started chuckling like a maniac, what the hell was he laughing at?
"I just got a bit excited sorry Luce." Natsu chimed. Natsu looked as if a huge weight was lifted off his chest. I looked over to Happy to see him with eyes wide as dinner plates, what was wrong with him?
"Hey Happy what's up?"
"Natsu's never done that before." Happy stated. I wondered what the big deal was, it was just a lick.
Authors Note: What did that lick mean? hmmm... looks like you won't know if you don't continue. And Jude doesn't care about Lucy. The next chapter will consist of cooking, Nalu, and the best of all food. Well hope you enjoyed this chapter, until next week or sooner ( Hopefully sooner ).
