Lucy's P.O.V

When the carriage finally stopped Natsu scrambled to get out.I guess he hates traveling. I was about to jump out but Natsu's hand appeared. I took it and he helped me out.

"Thank you."

"No problem. And let me be the first to welcome you to the Sabertooth Kingdom." He smiled. I giggled.

"So what is it like here?"

"You never visited the Sabertooth kingdom?" I shook my head.

"The castle's walls are all I know."

"Why?"

"Well... my mother passed away while she was visiting another kingdom, someone attacked the carriage and ended up killing her..."

"Oh... I am so sorry, I should have never had said anything..." he said. "It's ok. You didn't know. And it happened a long time ago." I told him brushing it off. There was an awkward silence.

"Come on the Prince is waiting." He said at the same time I asked if he could show me around the castle.

"Uh well Prince Sting is impatient."

"How about afterwards?"

"Sure but wouldn't you want someone else to show you?"

"No for some reason I feel more comfortable with you." I said immediately regretting it. I felt my cheeks begin to heat up so I looked away. "Uh err I mean you remind me of Loke. Only less of a flirt." I muttered that last part.

"Who's Loke?"

"My friend, he has orange hair and wears glasses. He worked at the palace." Natsu was quite for a moment. "So where do we go?" I asked trying to get him out of his trance.

"Oh um over here." We began walking to the main hall. Once we arrived Natsu bowed to me and left me with Prince Sting.

"Hello again Prince Sting."

"You don't need to be so formal Lucy your my fiance." I flinched.

"I'm no ones fiance until I fall in love."

"Aww don't worry you are bound to fall in love with me. I mean come on look at me! I'm hot!" I said nothing.

"Anyway Servant boy will show you your room. I will see you at dinner. Don't try to run away now, your kingdom is a least a week away by foot." I was still silent.

"Your room is this way Princess." Natsu said. I nodded as he lead me away.

"That jerk!" I yelled stopping my foot.

"So we both agree on something." Natsu laughed.

"How could someone be that consistent? I mean it's rude that he calles you that!"

"Huh?" I looked at Natsu and he looked confused.

"What?"

"I thought you were upset because he called you his fiance."

"Well yeah but I was really mad at the way he treated you!"

"Oh... Uh thanks I guess." He said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Well enough about him let's give you a tour of the castle." He did his same toothy grin. I nodded.

"Yeah!"

-X-

So far I have seen the dining room, ballroom, kitchen, and library. And the library was my favorite.

"And here is the Infirmary." Natsu said opening the door.

"Ahh!" A small girl with long dark blue hair tripped, dropping all the papers she had in her hand. "Oof."

"Geez Wendy, are you alright?" Natsu asked the small girl, Wendy. He picked her up.

"Yeah I'm fine. Thanks Natsu-san." She smiled to him. I began to help her pick up the papers. Once I had them in my hand I handed them to her.

"Oh thank you miss...?"

"Call me Lucy."

"Lucy..." she looked at me for awhile then suddenly bowed. "Hello Princess Lucy! Sorry for the mess I have created!" I was shocked that she knew I was the princess.

"There's no need to apologize or act formal. Please just call me Lucy."

"Uh um."

"I have two questions though. May I ask?" She quickly nodded.

"You don't need to be so tense Wendy. She won't bite." Natsu joked. She nodded again.

"Ok well first how did you figure out I was the princess so fast?"

"Well you have a fancy dress on." I looked down at myself, I completely forget about my dress.

"Oh yeah... ok and why are you in the infirmary? Are you ok?"

"That's 3 questions." Natsu muttered. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes I'm fine. I'm here because I work here. I'm the nurse."

... 'What?! She is like 12 years old! How could she be the nurse?' I thought

"Yeah Wendy here is one of the best healers I know." Wendy beamed

"Thanks Natsu-san!" I smiled.

"Well it was a pleasure to meet you Wendy. I hope we can be friends."

"Sure! Oh gosh I need to go feed Carla! Bye Lucy! Bye Natsu!" She said before running off.

"Carla?"

"Wendy's cat."

"Oh."

"Come on we have one more stop." He said as he grabbed my wrist and began to drag me. We ended up outside at the castle's garden. They had so many types of flowers! They had roses of every color and there was a little stream with koi fish in it. And there was a garden maze too.

"Wow."

"Yup, Evergreen and Juvia take care of the garden. They do a pretty good job at it."

"Evergreen and Juvia? They did this?! On their own? I can't wait to meet them!"

"Well that's about the whole castle. So you should get back to your-"

"What's that?" I asked cutting him off. I pointed to a house a little away from the palace.

"Oh that? It's just the servant's quarters."

"Is everyone there right now?"

"I believe so. Why?"

"Can we go?"

"Huh?"

"I want to meet everyone today. Is that ok? I mean like do you mind introducing me to everybody."

"Um ok let's go." He started to walk off.

"Wait!" I grabbed his hand making him stop.

"Yeah?"

"Um well..." I realize I was still holding his hand and quickly dropped it. "I need something from my room can we go get it?"

"Ok." I smiled.

"Thanks."

Natsu's P.O.V

I was waiting outside of Lucy's room, wondering what she needed. I didn't understand why she wanted to go to the servant quarters. She already disobeyed by asking me to show her around when she was suppose to stay in her room. Click. Her door opened. I turned around and was surprised to see she changed her clothes. She was no longer in the expensive, big pink dress. She was now in a blue mini skirt and a white and blue shirt with a pair of boots. She took her bun off and replaced it with a half side pony tail. She looks cute...

"Uh does this look ok?" She asked. I was speechless for a moment. "Natsu?"

"Uh yeah. Yeah you look nice." I looked down to cover my face, I was probably getting sick. My face was hot. "But why did you change?"

"Well when you took me to the infirmary and I met Wendy, she tensed up because she realized that I was a princess by my clothes. I don't want anyone to treat me differently because I have a fancy title..."

"Hm well come on! I'm sure they will like you!" So I walked her back to the servant quarters. It was a quite walk and I couldn't help but to steal some glances at her. She really was different.

A/N: Hey humans -.-/ sorry for not updating sooner. I've been busy with school and well a family emergency came up and now that's taking up most of my free time. FYI I'll probably just update once or twice a month I'm really sorry about this but my family comes first. So till next time... LATER HUMANS!
