I'M NEVER GOING TO THAT EMO CORNER AGAIN! THANKS ALL! Though I has (misspelling intended) a special thanks to The Diamond Cross for taking Rose-chan out of her emo corner and taking her to the rainbows/unicorns/sunshine corner of happiness that was invented especially for Rose-nyan. You guys should go there! It's a magical place… *U*

What happened to all you RoLu, Lolu and Lalu fans?

-Lucy-

… WHAT JUST HAPPENED? I am sitting in the kitchen with Carla and Wendy. Cobra arrived a few minutes ago, but I don't care because… Sting Eucliffe just kissed me… And, I sorta liked it. NOOOO, don't think that way Lucy! I put my head in my hands and groan, this just HAD to happen to me, didn't it. MY first kiss was taken by that… that… I sigh. Even my vocabulary doesn't have the word I'm looking for.

"Asshole?" Says a voice from behind me. Cobra. "Jerk? Dick head? Douche bag! Lowlife? Son of a Bitch?"
"WATCH YOUR TOUGNE!" I scream at him through my fingers. Wendy is only 12 after all.

Sting comes in the room and instinctively I grab a key. I no longer needed to use words to summon a spirit-though it sounded pretty cool when I was showing off-this gave me an advantage, because my opponent couldn't tell which key I was going to use. I had also mastered telepathy with a few of the spirits I was particularly close to; Loke, Aries, Plue-He was actually really smart-Virgo and Lyra. He steps forward and I summon my friend, while the gate is opening I realise I don't know whose key I grabbed. I look down and the gold key in my hand and curse.

"Hey Lucy."

"Hi Loke." I greet tiredly. You should be more careful! I hiss at myself. Don't grab some random key. Look next time!

Don't you want me to be here?Loke's depressed voice sounds in my mind. I groan, the problem with the telepathy is I was connected to their minds the whole time they were in the human world. Is is unpleasant to be around me, Princess?

Wha- No, stupid! I tell him. Out of the corner of my eye I see Cobra looking confused. I just needed one of you to scare this guy off. I tell him gesturing at the perverted alien [A/N: Brownie points if you get that reference]

Loke looks at Sting.Why?

Well… Um… He… Without my meaning it to the image of Sting kissing me flickers in my brain. Loke is furious.

He violated you?

Crap. Sting was about to get in a whole, lot of shit.

Answer me. Loke's eyes flash protectively and I gulp. Much as I hated Sting he didn't deserve… Actually yes. Yes he did.

Yeah.

Loke turns on Sting and steps forward menacingly.

"I. Will. Kill. You." His voice sounds like a growl and I shrink back in fear. I remember all the times he truly scared me with his power and the time he fought Natsu after he'd kissed me and I hear Cobra snicker.

"I'd run if I were you buddy." He says. Sting looks at Loke's face and knows he's not messing around. Sting glances over Loke's shoulder and sees me.

"I came in here to apologise to you!" He blurts out, his face burning.

"Wait!" I say. I get weird looks from everyone in the room. "Wendy doesn't need to see this." I tell them. To tell you the truth, I didn't want to watch either. I grab Wendy's arm and pick up Happy by the tail. Carla follows us, and while Wendy puts on her shoes I snatch the Dragon book from the bed and we run out the front door.

-Natsu-

Today I have to leave Fairy Tail and go on that stupid mission.

"Luuuuuuucy!" I wail. "Mira! Why isn't she baaaack?"

Mira laughs.

"It's not funny!" I tell her, she leans over the counter and ruffles my hair.

She sighs and looks at me. "You are so cute together!" She proclaims.

The door opens and Gajeel walks in with an amber-eyed, pointy-toothed Levy clutching him arm. The wind blows their scent in my face and Levy's hair is blown back a little. I can see those little grey scales. The mark of an Iron Dragon. I smirk, Jet and Droy better keep their distance. She wasn't Gajeel's crush anymore. She was his property. They walk over and Gajeel sits beside me and Levy beside him. Her hair just covered his mark. I sniff, their scents were all mixed together. He must've claimed her as well.

"Flame brain." He greets.

"Tin can." I say half-heartedly.

"IT'S IRON NOT TIN!"

I see Levy put an arm on his bare shoulder and shake her head.

"Are you ready to go?" She asks. I nod. "Good!" She says brightly. "I'm going too!"

"Really? That's fun." I say, not caring.

Gajeel growls. "Don't talk to her like that."

"Not all the way." She says, she is about to say something else then thinks better of it. "There's something I really want to see. I'll go with you all the way, stay for a while, then do some jobs on the way home. I'll talk to Mira about whether or not there are jobs in between the towns."

Gajeel continues to glare at me.

"How was last night?" I ask, I wanted to fight to forget about Lucy for a bit. I still can't believe she up and left without saying goodbye! And I'll be gone for six months… I regret my spoken words though, once I see the colour of Levy's face. Gajeel slings his arm around Levy's shoulder and… he kisses her. I can practically hear Jet and Droy's hearts shattering. I did that at a party with my special Luce once. She thought I was drunk. I wasn't.

"You can't talk buddy." He tells me. "I know." He says smirking. Don't feel bad." He laughs loudly.

"About what?" Now I'm confused.

"That I mated with Shorty before you mated with Goldie Locks!" (A/N: Didn't wanna use the old 'Bunny-girl' cliche) He starts laughing and it really pisses me off. So I do the only thing I can think of. I sit up straight and...

"Who says we haven't?"

Levy gasps, Gajeel's smirk slips away and Mira shrieks happily and claps, dropping a whole tray of drinks on Macao in the process. What the hell? How did she hear me? She's on the other freaking side of the Guild!

"Well, that's a surprise." Says Gajeel appraising me. "Didn't think you'd have the balls to do it."

Levy stares.

"What?" I ask.

"But… But…"

"But what?"

"You're so dumb!" She wails.

Ouch. "That's mean Levy!" I protest.

"I mean how did you even know what you were supposed to do?"

I just laugh. That's what she was distressed about? "I read [present tense] Lucy's collections of books when I wait for her to come home. You do pick up a few things." I wasn't lying.

Levy blushes.

"Don't worry!" I say cheerfully. "I won't tell anyone they were your old books!"

I walk out the door.

"See you at the train station in thirty minutes!" I call.

-Levy-

"He's lying right?" I ask Gajeel. He frowns.

"Not sure."

"How could he tell?" I ask, lip trembling. Was it that obvious? I had wanted to tell Lucy first. That was why I wanted to go. I had nearly said, 'to see someone' but I wanted it to be a surprise for Natsu when he got there.

Gajeel leans over and taps my lips with a finger. "Teeth, eyes, scent." I breath in his scent.

"You smell good." I sigh. Then I realise what I've just said and turn away blushing. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me onto his lap. I blush harder but he just snickers. I can't see him but his lips are pressed against the back of my neck, twisted up in a satisfied grin. I turn my face and he captures my lips with his. I ignore the catcalls though Gajeel seems to revel in them and kisses me harder.

"Get a room!"

At this his stands and looks at the offender. Poor Gray, he was going to have the crap beaten out of him but Gajeel just smirks.

"What a great idea. We do have half an hour before I leave and I'll be gone for six months." My eyes widen at his next words. "Better cash in while I can." He picks me up, not bridal-style (Again to avoid cliches but can you really picture him carrying her that way?) but by the back of my dress and tucks me securely under his arm. I sigh. It was going to be an exhausting thirty minutes.

Random, and kinda pointless, but I wanted to reassure you all that Natsu was on his way! I've decided that I'll keep the voting lines open a little longer. Poll will close on the 20th of April. And also, I've had to wait up really late to write this so I could update for you all, so because of my grounding, chapters will be updated randomly and-like the rest of my story so far-will be unedited. And one more sorry in advance. School goes back for me on Monday so chapters will also be delayed because of that… WHY DOES SCHOOL GET IN THE WAY OF EVERYTHING? Don't forget a review because they keep me motivated!

Laxus: She doesn't own Fairy Tail.

Me: I HAVE A NAME!

Laxus: Fine. Rose-baka doesn't own Fairy Tail.

Me: ONIITAN WHY ARE YOU SO MEAN *Sob*

Lector: Thank God she doesn't!

Me: WHY MUST YOU SAY CRUEL THINGS TO ME! *Goes back into emo corner and cries*

Lector: You'd make Happy and Carla a pair!

Me: *Comes out of emo corner because it's hard to talk with the depressing atmosphere* And? They like each other right?

Fro: Fro thinks so too!

Lector: And you'd make Fro a girl and make me and her a couple!

Me: I think it'd be cute!

Fro *Shy and quiet* Fro thinks to too...

Lector: O/O

Much Love,

Rose-chan
