Hi again! I'm gonna get straight to it. Some of you are wondering about the brother sister bond between Laxus and Lucy. Don't worry about it. Everything IS going to be explained in a later chapter. I really can't say too much until a certain someone shows up. I stopped showing the tally because I though it'd be more exciting that way. Also, I don't know how everyone else writes their stories but with me it's like, 'Jeez, I'm bored. I guess I'll write another chapter today.' Nothing has been planned I sort of make it up as I go along… So enjoy the new chapter my lovelies!

-Lucy-

I watch Laxus stuff his face with everything in his reach. He didn't eat as much as Sting, but even Natsu didn't eat as much as him. I stir my straw around in my drink, thinking.

"Niisan?" Laxus looks up, mouth full.

"Numpf?"

"I-" I shake my head. What was I going to tell him? That I had the dream again? "I'm only paying for my drink." I say instead.

"NUMMAFUG!" He complains. I just laugh then gasp in disgust as food falls from his mouth. The people from the other booths stare, but between this guy, Natsu, Happy, Grey and Erza… I'm used to stares by now.

-Sting-

"That song that Lucy was singing," Lily says. "Why were you so interested in it?"

I shrug. "I've heard the tune before. But the words were different." The Exceed fall silent and continues cooking. After a few minutes he breaks the silence again

"I can smell it all over you." He tells me. I stare at the cat. He can what?

"How the hell do you know what it is?" I ask. He rolls his eyes and sets a stack of something he calls 'pancakes' in front of me.

"I live with Gajeel. Remember?" He sits opposite me. I lift a forkful of the sweet smelling food and shove it into my mouth. Tasted pretty good.

"Yeah." I say swallowing. "But he's younger than me right? He shouldn't have it yet." (A/N: They are not talking about anything perverted you'll find out what they are talking about in the next few chapters)

"Dragons mature at the age of 15. So, every time he's near her, his scent changes."

I look up. "Lucy?" I ask. If he was into her, then things were going to get so much more complicated. He shakes his head.

"Lucy's friend."

"Which one?"

"You don't know her."

"Which one?"

"Her name is Levy McGarden."

I sit back in my chair and think. Levy, Levy, Levy… I'd heard the name before… Ah, that's right, when I had tried to read the new pages of Lucy's book. She got pissed and yelled at me.

'YOU CAN'T READ THAT! I PROMISED LEVY SHE'D BE THE FIRST TO READ IT!'

Later that night I had found a picture of her and a petite girl with blue hair. They were hugging and looked really happy. On the back it had said, Lucy Heartfillia and Levy McGarden. I look at Lily.

"Blue hair? Really little?" I ask him. He nods in surprise.

"Yeah, that's her." I nod.

"I know what she looks like." I think about Gajeel, his long black hair, his piercings, his rough look, his size. They were total opposites! I voice my thoughts to Lily. He nods in understanding.

"I know where you are coming from but, and don't tell him I said this, but Gajeel has a gentler side to him than you might think."

"Really?"

"On Tenroujima, Levy's headband was torn. He gave one half to her, but kept the other secretly. She doesn't know, and he doesn't know that I know."

"Wow." I say. That guy would actually do something like that? He got mushy and stuff?

"What about Salamander?" I ask. He shrugs and begins to clear his plates. I devour the rest of my food so he doesn't take my plate too.

"What about him?"

"Does his scent… Change?" I ask. The Exceed laughs at me.

"You'll have to find out yourself." He says. "I'll tell you this as a warning though, if you wanted to take Lucy as your own, you'd better make sure she's in love with you. If you take her by force, Natsu WILL kill you. But, if she loves you, Natsu will still be mad, and he'd beat the crap out of you, but he'd be less likely to kill you because she's happy. But, he will wait in the wings, he'll wait for you to slip up, wait for you to make a mistake. He'll wait forever for that girl."

"What are you trying to tell me cat?" I ask acidly.

He turns around, expression deadly serious. "You need to work extremely hard, to get that girl to fall in love with you."

-Wendy-

I look at the man opposite me. He hasn't said a word to me, the only interaction we've had was a nod when we met at the platform. It takes two days to get to where Lucy is. Master told me that her, Sting from Sabertooth and Laxus are already there. The Magic Council have give us orders to speed up our arrivals. Attraction attention is not something we want to do, but the mission is becoming more dangerous every day. I look down at the book in my lap. It was thick and particularly heavy. Levy had insisted I give it to Lucy. I run my finger over the words on the front. Dragonology. The outside of the book is fairly plain. Black in colour, the title in gold and the 'y' had been crafted to look like a dragon tail. It curled under the bottom of the word and along the spine then stopped. I thought it was a very interesting looking thing to read. Levy had told me there was a note inside for Lucy and instructed me to make sure she read it. I hear a soft groan and look at my partner. His hair flopped across his eyes and his face was slightly green. I had offered to cast Troia on him, but he had declined.

"Are you okay?" I ask hesitantly. He hadn't spoken yet so why would he start now? He lifts his head from the window and watches me with one eye.

"Yeah." He says. His voice takes me by surprise. It is soft and quite gentle. Completely different from his appearance. "You don't get sick?" He asks. I shake my head.

"I'm immune." I inform him. The train takes a sharp turn and he rolls off the seat. He lands on the floor.

"Ow." He says, like it didn't really hurt him, but he needed to make the noise. I giggled. He looks up at me and gives me a sort of half-smile. It looks funny, like he doesn't do it often, but I found it rather endearing. Natsu told me lots of bad stuff about this guy. And he doesn't have the cleanest track record… But I think he's a lot nicer than he looks.

After a few hours, his eyes drift shut and he falls into an uneasy sleep. I lean back against the chair, shut my eyes and hum to myself, the words flitting past my closed lids.

'Do you know the Dragon of Sky,

Soaring higher than all the rest.

The nurturing nature of this selfless beast,

Is what makes it adored by all~'

Without realising it, my body shuts down and I too, fall asleep.

-Lucy-

By the time Laxus had finished eating, it was already eleven in the morning. Most of the shops were open so I decided to take *cough* drag *cough* Laxus shopping. I found the cutest shirt. (A/N: I was about to update this when I realised it said shit not shirt. O.O that could have been a disaster) it was a dark red halter, it gave off a bad-ass aura so I loved it immediately. Lately I had been trying to find clothes that didn't make me look so… well, like a prostitute. I made Laxus carry it while I looked for a pair of pants to go with it. I found a pair of jet black shorts with a matching vest. The vest reached the bottom of my rib cage and I found the coolest pair of black boots with gold studs. The outfit would match my cloak, now I just needed a new pair of gloves. I purchased the outfit and was looking for somewhere to buy some when I saw a very sober, very grumpy looking Cana.

"Cana!" I shout, waving my arm. She looks over and flicks her wrist, acknowledging my presence but not caring. I stomp over to her.

"Are you ignoring me?" I demand. She grabs the front of my shirt.

"Do you have any alcohol on you?"

"No." She lets go and runs a hand through her hair.

"I haven't had a drink in a whole 24 hours! Guildarts won't let me after that little episode." She complains. I laugh, to Cana, this was the worse kind of disaster in the world. Her eyes focus on something over my shoulder. I look and see Laxus standing there looking bored.

"I'd ask what he's doing with you, but without any kind of booze in my system I don't really have the energy to care." She informs me factually. Laxus slings his arm around my shoulder.

"She stayed with me last night." He says suggestively, winking at her.

I frown.

"LUCY KICK!"

I have to end it there. Mum wants me to hand in my computer but I thought you would be sad if I didn't update today.

Laxus: Why do I have to be Lucy kicked? It actually does hurt you know.

Me: *sigh* I DON'T HAVE TO JUSTIFY MYSLEF TO A PERV LIKE YOU!

Laxus: Hey! If anyone's the pervert it's Sting over there.

Sting: *drooling over Lucy* What?

Laxus: *Smug* told you so.

Lily: Rose doesn't own Fairy Tail.

Frosch: Fro thinks so too!
