Lucy's P.O.V
We finally made it to the servant quarters. I was going to knock but Natsu kicked down the door. Literally.
"Hi everyone! I'm back!" He yelled.
"A Uh Natsu its pretty late don't-"
"Geez hot head can't you shut your mouth?" A man about my age, maybe a year older, with raven hair and with no shirt on said.
"What did you say ice-prick?"
"You heard me flame brain!" What is with the nicknames?
"Oh it's on ice princess!" The two started fighting. Is this normal? Should I break them up? I unconsciously took some steps back and I ended knocking someone over.
"Ack!"
"Oh I'm sorry!" I help the person up. It was a girl with short light blue hair. She was carrying at least ten books. I started to help pick up the books.
"I'm sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going and-" The girl laughed.
"It's ok. I take it that you're new here?" I nodded.
"I'm Levy!"
"Lucy." I said. I looked over to Natsu and the raven haired guy. Is that really the same Natsu that helped me pack my thing and showed me aro
und the castle?
"Uh should we break them apart?" I asked. Levy shook her head.
"No they do this all the time."
"Oh..."
"Levy have you seen Elfman?" A woman with long white hair asked.
"I thought he was with Lisanna."
"No she is with Erza."
"Oh what's she doing."
"Looking for Natsu."
"What?!" Natsu yelled. He was holding the shirtless guy in a head lock. "Mira! Why didn't you say anything?!" He dropped the guy and started running around.
"Man where do I hide?! She gonna kill me!" Then ran out the door leaving me behind.
"Natsu!" I said I can't believe he just left me like that!
"Are you new here?" The lady with white hair asked.
"Um, yeah. I'm Lucy."
"I'm Mirajane but you can call me Mira."
I smiled. "Ok Mira."
"Damn fire breath!' The raven haired guy said, picking himself off the ground. He looked at me.
"Who are you?" He asked.
"Uh Lucy..."
"Gray. So how much did pinky pay you to come with him?"
"W-what?" Blood rush to my cheeks.
"Gray-sama!" A voice said.
"Oh geez." Another bluenette came running to Gray.
"Gray-sama! Why did you leave Juvia behind?" She clunged to his arm. I assumed that they were a couple. Wait Juvia?
"Juvia can you get off?" Gray asked a little harshly.
"But Gray-"
"Are you the one taking care of the garden?" I asked her. She turned to me and she eyed me for a while then she looked to Gray then back to me. She let go of Gray's arm and said dramatically, "Is Blondie and Gray-sama together? Does Juvia have a new love rival?"
"Err what?"
She pointed at me. "You are Juvia's new love rival!"
"Wait no no I'm not-" I tried to convince her that I wasn't In love with Gray, but stopped when I realized there was no getting through to her. I sighed. I turned back to Levy.
"Um do you need help with these books?"
She nodded. "Gajeel was suppose to help me but I don't know where he is."
"Who is Gajeel?"
"Oh yeah you're new, he is my boyfriend."
"Oh. Ok so where do we take these books?"
"To my room this way." She nodded her head to her left. I grabbed as many books as I could and followed Levy to her room. When I entered her room I was amazed at how many books were in her room. She probably had more books then the library.
"Wow! You really like to read huh."
"Yes! I love reading! How about you?" I nodded.
"I'm even trying to write novel."
"Really! Wow! Can I read it?"
"Uh um it's not finished yet-"
"Well can I be the first to read it?" I smiled.
"Sure!" Then Levy and I were engaged in a conversation about our favorite books.
About an hour later there was a loud knocking at the front door. Levy and I walked back down the hall to see what all the commotion was about. We were about to turn the corner when I stopped dead in my tracks. In the doorway where the royal guards.
It was Mira that answered the door. Levy looked back at me.
"Is something wrong Lucy?"
"Huh? Oh uh no..."
"The Princess seems to have left the castle." The royal guard said.
"We are wondering if she came here."
"Not that I know of. What does she look like?"
"She's blond, brown eyes, and about 5'4. She goes by the name Princess Lucy Heartfilia." I didn't hear Mira's response, because I escaped out the back door before I could.
-X-
Levy's pov
'Princess Lucy Heartfilia?' I was stunned.
"Lucy are you-" I turned to where Lucy was only to find her gone.
"I'm sorry but no we haven't seen anyone new." Mira told the royal guard. Only Mira could get away with lying to the guards. Not only was she pretty but she could turn into the she-devil if you cross her. The royal guards left and Mira turned to me.
"Where is she?" She asked.
"I don't know she left."
"Hmm."
"So Lucy is the princess?" Gray asked.
"Aparently." Mira said.
"I wonder if Natsu knew." I asked.
"Well he did go to the Celestial Kingdom." Juvia said.
"Geez and that idiot didn't tell us?" Natsu then burst through the door like he heard his name.
"I saw the guards, what happened?"
"We're not telling you anything until you tell us about Lucy." Gray yelled. Natsu's eyes widen.
"Where is she?"
"She just disappeared." I said.
"Fuck! Luce!" Then he ran out the door again. Hmm how strange. Natsu hated royals. Why would he care about this one? I felt something rub against my leg. I looked down and saw Pantherlily.
"Meow."
"Lily? Did Gajeel forget to feed you again?"
"Meow." I sigh. I bent down and picked Lily up.
"Let's go find Gajeel." I walked around for a while inside then went outside. I went under a tree and sighed again. There was some rustling in the branchs and a head popped out. I screamed and Lily just meowed.
"Hi shrimp."
"G-Gajeel! Don't do that you almost gave me a heart attack!"
"Gihi."
"And where were you? You were suppose to help me with the books! Instead I had a princess help me."
"I was looking for Lily, but I now see he was with you." He jumped out of the tree. "Wait did you say a princess helped you?"
"It's a long story. And Lily ran off because you forgot to feed him."
"Oh." Gajeel started to pat my head. "Well everything is alright now Shrimp!" He said with a smirk.
"Don't call me that!"
