I've noticed how quickly (for me) this story is progressing. So, updates after this will be more spread out. Maybe once a week… Unless you beg REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, REALLY, hard. ;P

Also: A quick note to Blazing Roses (Please get an account so I can PM you next time!) I am sorry you didn't like my Gruvia moment. I personally don't like Gruvia (sorry to those who do) either. But I needed to create that situation for a later chapter. Gruvia will probably not make another appearance.

-Person on the train with Wendy-

I could feel the little girl was staring at me again. We had switched trains twice in the past two days. Tomorrow we would arrive at our destination and see the others. I was told that Fairy Tail had supplied the 'Peacekeeper' I snort. I wasn't stupid. I knew, I knew who it was and what her real purpose was, I doubt anyone else did. But hey, there was nothing I could do about it. I look at the girl with one eye. She looks away, embarrassed that she got caught staring at me.

"How old are you?" I ask her. She seems surprised that I spoke to her.

"13" She informs me.

Thirteen, too young to be influenced by mating season. That's good. I can't deal with hormonal girls and a hormonal girl dragon slayer would be just too much.

I stare out the window, not really thinking of anything important. I hear her singing quietly to herself.

"Do you know the Dragons of Fiore~" I doubt anyone heard her but I could. She had a sweet little voice. She stops singing but continues to hum. I watch her queasily. Despite my protests she had cast a spell she called 'Troia' on me. It had worn off some time ago but I hadn't told her. She needn't waste her magic on me.

-Lucy-

I stand under the hot water. I really liked taking baths but this shower was almost as good. It had been stocked with heaps of different body washes and they all smelled really yummy. After a while I hear someone pounding on the door.

"Hurry up!" Yells Sting. I hear the door open.

"KYA! LAXUS-NIICHAN!" I scream.

"PERVERT!" I hear Laxus yell.

The door shuts and and I laugh to myself. Having Laxus around really had its advantages. I turn off the water and reach for my towel. I dry off my wet hair and look for my clothes. They weren't where I had left them. I search frantically, but can't find them. Behind the door I can hear Sting laughing. DAMN YOU STING!

That Saber Bastard had taken my clothes! Now I had to… I sigh. Then all over a sudden I decide I don't really care. I wrap the towel around myself and walk out of the bathroom. I see Sting leaning back in the chair laughing. Laxus and Lily are watching him, probably doubting his sanity. I throw my shoulders back and hold my head high. Sting sees me, wearing nothing but a bath towel and stops laughing, his eye bulge and face grows red. I smirk and walk over to him. I place on hand on each of the arm rests and lean in close. I feel his breath on my cheeks, he looks nervous. His eyes drop to my chest. I don't flinch though, I'm going to get under his skin with this.

"Like what you see?" I say quietly. He swallows. Laxus laughs.

-Laxus-

I laugh and raise an eyebrow. She's good. She knew exactly how to get under his skin. I don't think she knew that mating season was coming up, but she knew how to make him squirm. I can't see his face but I can smell his nervousness. Lily is beside me shaking with silent laughter.

-Lucy-

"There's no need to take my clothes Sting." I say suggestively. "If you wanted to see me naked, all you had to do was ask."

Laxus snorts. I straighten up and walk away. When I reach Laxus I bump his thigh with my hip and wink.

"Same for you." I tell him. I reach the bedroom and shut the door behind me. I can hear Laxus and Lily laughing loudly and I grin to myself. That should give him a lot to think about.

-Sting-

That girl, what was she thinking? If mating season had actually started… It the other two hadn't been there… I would've claimed her then marked her (A/N: There is a difference. Will be explained later) that girl is reckless. Someone needs to tell her, but it sure as hell isn't going to be me.

I get up. Those two are still laughing at me and I can hear her laughter harmonise with theirs on the other side of the bedroom door. Her scent is everywhere, suffocating me. I have to get out of here. I breath though my mouth and run out of the house. I run, if I stop I know I'll turn around. I need to get control over myself before I go back. I reach the lake and stop confused. This wasn't where I wanted to go.

I stop and sniff then I freeze. WHAT THE HELL STING! I scream at myself. Lucy's scent was here. I must have followed it without even realising it. I sink to the ground and put my head in my hands. What is wrong with me? I can't get her out of my head. I need to do something before I go crazy. Mating season hasn't even begun yet, when it does, she is going to need a body guard all day, every day. I look around. No-ones here, this place is pretty secluded. I stand and strip. I leave my shorts on and plunge into the water. The water blocks out all sounds and smell, leaving my head clear for a while. I swim around for a while then eventually have to come up for air. I dive down again and keep swimming. I do this for a while before I just let myself float on the water. My stomach growls and I stand up the water drips off me, a group of girls walk past and I hear them giggle and whisper amongst themselves.

"Wow! He's cute!"

"Think he'd be willing?"

"Oh Goddess! Did you see those abs!"

"Why can't my boyfriend look like that?"

"You mean boyfriends?"

"Shut up!"

They laugh and hurry away. (A/N: This is how the conversations with my friends go when we have swimming for P.E. They are all like *O*)

I sit at the edge of the river, the wind drying my skin, and think.

"Sting-kun?" I turn. Lector and Fro are standing behind me. A huge grin spreads itself onto my face.

"Hey guys long time no see!" I bump fists with Lector and pat Fro on the head. For wasn't my Exceed but I still cared for her. She was cute, a little awkward, unsure of her own strength and… Wait when did I start thinking about Lucy?

-Sting- ~Later~

I watch Lucy flit in and out of the room, cleaning. Fro is following her, every time Lucy stops, Fro bumps into her legs causing Lucy to squeal again and hug her. She smells so good… But, with Laxus over there, I can't DO anything. I grin remembering her reaction to Fro. She had stared at the Exceed for a full five minutes, then out of nowhere…

"CUTE!" She had hugged Fro so tightly I don't think either could breathe, but hey, Fro didn't seem to mind. In fact it seemed she rather enjoyed the display of affection. Actually, I think, looking out the window. He should be arriving soon. He said he was accompanying the little girl Dragon Slayer

O.O It WAS Rouge. I won't be able to update for a while. I have to clean my room -3- Sorry! It needs a full throwing out of clothes, vacuuming dusting sorting papers ect session. I'll try and do it super fast, but mum is holding on to my phone until then. : / SORRY DARLINGS!
