SORRY I TOOK SO LONG! The review quota thing was actually to disguise the fact that I wouldn't update in a while, but you filled it it a few days and I couldn't do anything about it. I don't really talk about boys much with my friends, or when they do I tune out so I had no idea what to write. Anyway…

Erza: *Holding knife to my throat* You don't own Fairy Tail do you Rose?

Rose: NO!

Erza: And I get more Strawberry cake in this chapter right?

Rose: YES! *Cries*

Erza: I'm sorry! Rose-dono! *bows* You may punish me if you wish!

Virgo: Punishment time Princess?

Lucy: NO!

Fro: No, no!

Rose: Help me!

WARNING! This chapter will be ecchi border line hentai because… Well, because Cana's in it. Also a BIG HI, HI! to Sab-nee, Ta-nee, DB-chan and Sa-chan. Sab-nee especially because she's fun to tease about the next chapters! XD AND A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MISS OTAKU-CHAN! ^u^

-Lucy-

"Boy trouble?" Erza raises an eyebrow fork halfway to her mouth, while Cana rolls around laughing. I blush and nod, eyes dropping to the ground.

"Wanna drink?" Cana holds the bottle out to me and for some reason I don't question it and down half the bottle in one gulp.

"Lucy!" Levy's voice is appalled and she wrests the drink away. "That's a spirit you know! You're going to be so drunk in a few minutes!" I shrug and nestle back against the trees.

"May Juvia ask who you are having problems with?" My eyes narrow. I wasn't supposed to be telling them, but… It was these girls after all, it's not like anything bad would happen and they certainly weren't going to tell anyone. I give a resigned sigh and tell them everything that happened from when I left the guild to now. I don't omit the kiss I shared with Sting, or the fact that Natsu had mixed his scent with mine. I tell them that Wendy and Cobra are on 'teams' I don't tell them about the telepathy but I even tell them about the feelings I had for Rogue. When I finish they just stare at me for a while. Cana wordlessly passes me the bottle again and I tip my head back and drink. Ezra snatches it out of my hands and gives me a plate loaded with slices of cake in its stead. I lift a fork and chew as the girls ponder it for a while. Then Mira screams with excitement.

"This is wonderful Lucy! Natsu really does like you!"

"Don't be silly Mira." Snaps Levy. "This is terrible. He did that," She leans forward to pull back my shirt, revealing the red marks on my neck. "Without her permission. And he kissed her too!"

"Juvia doesn't know what to think. Juvia thinks Rogue-san cares more for Lucy-chan and will be careful with her. But Natsu-san is more aggressive and may not consider the health of Lucy-chan."

"What a silly thing to say Juvia. Natsu is always watching out for Lucy and taking care of her." Erza points out. "Not to mention he calls her 'Luce' and gets mad when anyone else does."

"Yes, yes!" Mira squeaks. "He does because he says it's 'his' name for her."

I raise my eyebrow. I didn't know that. It's kinda cute if you think about it that way.

"Don't forget about Sting." All the girls turn to stare at Cana, who's grinning so widely it looks like it might break her face. "He's fucking sexy! And him and Lulu would make pretty little blonde babies." Mira sits back and I can 'hear' her imagining all the different combinations of children we could have. Girl babies who looked like Sting but had my eyes. Boy babies that looked like me but had Sting's eyes. Awww… I wouldn't mind having a kid if they looked like that. I shake my head to clear it and focus on the conversations. "He looks like he'd do it rough. Shove you up against the shower wall, lick you all over, his fingers inside your-"

"CANA!" I shout flinching. She was practically shouting her thoughts. It was hard to ignore. Me in the shower, Sting walking in, me flushing and him saying something incredibly arousing. Me looking down-

"STOP THINKING DIRTY!" I screw up my eyes.
"How big do you think he gets?"

"CANA!" Erza brings her hand down and smacks Cana across the head effectively knocking her out, though the alcohol probably helped a little.

"Anyway… Who do you like more?" I sigh leave it to Mira to ask it straight out.

"I don't know Mira. That's why I ask you guys to come here, so you could help me…"

"We can't choose for you Lu-chan. It's something you have to decide for yourself."

"Juvia thinks so too."

"So does Fro!"

"I don't mean it like that. I just want to know what you think."
Levy's nose screws up, a habit she got from me, the way it does when she's about to say something someone might not like. "To tell you the truth Lu-chan. I know you love Natsu to pieces but I don't think he's the best choice for you."

"I don't love him to pieces!" I object. "I have never-"
"Not that way! I just mean, he's your best friend and everything and you guys are really close."

"Oh." I guess it could look like we were dat- My thoughts cut off and my head jerks up to where a figure is standing. I can't see them properly but I know they are there. Then they vanish and I turn back to the girls.

"From what you've told us Lucy, though he's a Saber, Rogue seems like the best choice. He hasn't pressured you and respects your boundaries."

"Rogue-kun loves Lucy!" We all turn to look at Fro.

Mira picks her up and settles Fro in her lap. "How do you know that Fro-nyan?"

Fro giggles. "Rogue-kun said so! He talks when Fro and Rogue-kun are alone and he said he loves Lucy but won't do anything to her before she's ready! Fro then asks Rogue-kun what happens if Lucy does not want Rogue-kun."

"What did he say?" Erza prods.

Fro looks worried. "Fro is not sure whether Fro should be saying these things."

"Did Rogue tell you not to tell?" Asks Levy. Fro thinks then shakes her head.

"Rogue-kun did not! Fro can tell now?"

We all nod. "Rogue-kun said if Lucy is happy then Rogue-kun is happy! Fro then asks if Rogue-kun will really be happy and Rogue-kun smiles and tells Fro 'it's okay, Rogue-kun will still love Lucy, but because Rogue-kun loves Lucy soooooooooooooooooooooo much (imagine a little kid talking) more than the man that loves Lucy. Rogue-kun can let her go. Rogue-kun says Rogue-kun will not try and take Lucy by force. Because if Lucy is not happy, Rogue-kun will not be happy! But if another Dragon Slayer takes his Lucy by force, then he will fight them for her because he will not let her be unhappy. Rogue-kun believes he can make Lucy happy. And Fro thinks so too!" Fro finishes talking and is smiling widely.

Silence.

"That must be the sweetest thing I've ever heard!" Mira cries, clasping a hand over her heart. "How sweet! He must really love you Lucy!"

"Kinda cute I guess…"

Fro climbs out of Mira's lap and comes to mine instead. "Lucy okay? Lucy is red."

"She lllllliiiiiiikkkkkkeeeeessssss him!" Cana has woken up and effectively stops any arguments about whether or not I like Rogue. "But seriously, what about Natsu?" She continues. "It's clear he likes you, and you sorta like him so what was holding you back?"

My blush deepens. "Nothing." I say. Cana reaches over and pinches my cheeks stretching them out.

"Are you lying to me with this mouth of yours?" She says harshly.

"Stop that." Erza slaps her hands away. "But you have to tell us Lucy, it could solve a few problems for us."

I cast my eyes downwards and mumble something unintelligible. No-one could have heard unless they were a Dragon Slayer. Or a Dragon Slayers mate.

"I'm not sure about that one." Says Levy.

"Juvia is confused."

"Lisanna." Levy says. The girls nod and give me sympathetic looks. They knew how close Lisanna and I were, we'd bonded really well and had a lot in common. I wouldn't say she was my best friend, but she was right up there with Erza and Gray. Levy and Natsu taking the top spots of course. If I started dating or if I mated Natsu, she'd be heartbroken.

"And he's my best friend." I continue. "It'd be weird."
"Dragons mate for life Lu-chan. If Natsu claimed and marked you, he wouldn't be able to leave you ever. You could leave him, but it'd be like killing him. You need to tread carefully Lu-chan."

"Juvia thinks Lucy has not considered not 'mating' with any of them." Levy shakes her head.

"That won't work Ju-chan. Lucy has to mate with someone and it has to be a Dragon Slayer. An ordinary wizard won't do. The boys will fight over her and it will be a fight to the death until she picks one of them. And if she picks the wrong guy…" She draws a line across her throat. "It will end very badly."
The transportation lacrima blinks.

"It's nearly outta juice." I say.

"What happens when it runs out?" Mira asks.

"We'll be sent back." Levy answers. "We'd better make this quick. Erza?"

"I think Natsu would protect you well. He's alway been there for you and is already one of your best friends. You know each other very well and you wouldn't have to find out much about each other. That said, Rogue seems awfully sweet and has your best interests at heart. He seems like the sweet kind of guy you used to talk about having as your boyfriend. So, I think you'd be better off with Rogue." I stare at her. I didn't think she'd give it so much thought.

Levy nods. "Okay so Team Rogue: 2, Team Natsu: 1, Team Sting: 0. Cana?" (A/N: Wendy and Cobra's votes as well.)

She shrugs and slips a full bottle inside my bag, winking and I thank her silently. I have the feeling I was going to need it later. "I dunno. Personally I'd prefer Sting, so if you don't want him, I'll take him off your hands Lulu." She winks again, then turns serious. "I think he's confused. I reckon he likes you but doesn't know what to do with those feelings so he ends up half-crazy while trying to think of a way to tell you he likes you. That's why he kissed you and stole your clothes. Little boys always tease the girls they like. Give him a chance and I'm sure he'll come good. So, Sting for me."

"Rogue: 2, Natsu: 1 and Sting: 1. Mira?"

She presses a finger to her forehead and thinks hard. He brain is working so fast I can't keep up.

"Lucy, do you love Natsu?" She asks.

"I don't know Mira. That's-"
"I don't mean are you in love with him. I mean… Do you love him?"

I think. It was a pretty complex sort of question. Of course I loved Natsu, he was my best friend, the one who introduced me to Fairy Tail. The one who catches me when I fall. The one who treats my house like his own, the guy who is so comfortable around me that he can tell me anything. And I can tell everything to him. Sometimes, words are not even exchanged, we are so in tune with each other, that we just know. We know what happened, or why they're upset, why the other is happy or scared. Natsu has a sixth sense apparently. He calls it his 'Lucy sense.' He knows when I'm in trouble, when I need help and how to find me. I sigh and face the facts. I loved him. But I couldn't be sure if I was in love with him.

"It's okay." Mira says breaking me out of my thoughts. "I think you and Natsu have something going for you. I don't know if it's because you are best friends or whatnot, but you can't deny that you are so…" She seems to be searching for the right word. "In sync. But, as Erza said, Rogue wouldn't be a bad choice either, he does seem rather sweet. The thing you've got to think about is how your choice would affect Natsu. If you picked Rogue, I'm not sure he'd get over it. I know for a fact and can tell you right now that Natsu Dragneel is in love with you." I stare at Mira, she thought of all of this in a few seconds? "But, then again, if you picked Natsu, I think you and Rogue could have a good relationship as friends, Rogue said he'd still love you. So I think he would still want to protect you and may even quit Sabertooth to make sure he can." Mira stops to breathe. Then nods, as if satisfied with her answer. I didn't know Fairy Tail had such deep thinkers.

"Vote?" Asks Levy. Mira smiles.

"NALU IS MY OTP!" Her declaration is met with silence and confused stares. She blushes a little. "Natsu."

"Okay… So, Natsu is on 2 tied with Rogue and Sting is on one. Ju-chan?"

"Juvia thinks Sting-san might like Lucy-chan as Cana-san said. Juvia thinks that Lucy should pick who she feels most comfortable with. Sting-san may just we worried that Natsu-san will take Lucy-chan away before he gets a chance to woo Lucy-chan. So he does silly things to make Lucy-chan notice him." Juvia's tone is very matter-of-fact. She know what she's talking about. "Lucy-chan said they have to train?" I nod. "Juvia thinks you should spend sometime alone with each of them and figure out which one Lucy-chan likes best. Sting-san may just be scared and threatened that Lucy-chan and Natsu-san already have a good relationship. Juvia thinks Sting-san should be given a chance but Juvia also thinks that Lucy-chan should not rule out the option of Natsu-san and Rogue-san. Juvia thinks Sting-san."

"Really?" Levy's eyebrow rises. "I would- No, we are not judging. So the boys are all equal."

"What about you Levy?" I ask her. She shrugs, and lacrima blinks again. We have about five minutes until they are sent back

While I wait for her answer I let my eyes roam the park. I squint and see the same figure as before. There's no way it could hear us from where it is, so why would- Unless they were a Dragon Slayer. Levy opens her mouth to speak.

"Stop talking!" I hiss. The girls stare at me confused and I nod my head over at the figure. The girls look over and stiffen. How long had he been standing there?

"Who is it?" Asks Mira.

"Does it matter?" Cana snaps.

"It does if it's one of the boys." I say quietly. I stand and pull out a key. "Open! Gate of the Larger Dog! Canis Major!"

Sirius steps out of the magic circle and beams at me. "Yo! What's up?"

"How fast can you run?" I ask him, he raises an eyebrow.

"How- What?"

I point the the retreating figure. A small black dot was following behind it so I'm sure it was a Dragon Slayer. I just need to find out which. If they know, I know about mating season, I could be forced into making a decision quicker than I expected.

"Catch him. And bring him here."

"No." Says Erza. "Just run and tell us what colour the Exceed is."

"The what?" Sirius turns and looks at Erza.

"The flying cat." I explain.

"Ah. Sure thing!" He bounds away and I can see the power behind each stride. He was made to run. Well, he was a hunting dog after all.

-The Peeping Tom-

Shit, shit! Shit, shit! That thing's fast! I jump over a fence and land in someone's garden.

"Get off my lawn you rapscallion!" A woman charges at me, brandishing a broom.

I don't answer and keep running, I jump onto the lady's roof and run with long strides.

"Damn, I haven't run this fast in ages."

"Oi! Flying Cat! Come 'ere! What colour are you?" I stop. Huh? The man catches up with us and I see he has a tattoo on his neck that reads, Alpha.

"Lucy-mistress wants to know what colour you are." He states. I look at him, he's pretty fit, I wouldn't mind fighting him and he's not even the slightest bit out of breath.

"Can't you tell just by looking?" I say pointing to the my Exceed.

"Nup. I'm colour blind see?" He waves a hand in front of his face. "Nothin'!"

This guy, is stupid.

"Orange." I tell him. "With pink stripes." If Lucy found out I was eavesdropping on her she'd Lucy Kick me into next week.

"Okay!" He says cheerfully, he turns and runs back to his master.

-Lucy-

I stare at Levy. "Really? I would've thought-" The lacrima blinks again and the girls vanish. I didn't think Levy would pick him. It's her opinion that counts the most… She is a mate of a Dragon Slayer after all. She knew what she was talking about. I think it's time to read that book again.

Erza stands, bows and leaves saying she should get going so she doesn't have to drive in the dark. She offers Cana a ride home but she shakes her head saying she was going to stay with me for the night and asked Erza to tell her 'daddy' where she was. I sit with Cana, her drinking, me eating cake and Fro, who was surprisingly quiet for the most part, who had fallen asleep. Sirius came running toward me and tackled me to the ground.

"Mistress! Mistress! I completed my task! Orange and pink!" He yells excitedly. "Do I get a reward? Do I? Do I? Do I?" Fro had woken up and rather than get mad at being disturbed she simply moved from my lap and went back to sleep beside Cana. Sirius's hair was slightly longer and he had a pair of brown dog ears poking up from the top of his head (A/N: Inuyasha ears).

"Reward?" I ask. He was still on top of me, legs straddling mine and hands on either side of my head. Orange and pink? There were no orange or pink Exceeds… Dogs are colour blind. I could've slapped myself but I refrain for Sirius's sake.

"Yes! Pet me!"

"Pet you?"

"On my head!"

"If you get off." I say. His eyes widen and he laughs. He rolls off me and pulls me into a sitting position on his lap. He bends his neck so I can reach the top of his head and I stroke his gently. He makes a low growl in the back of his throat, the exact same noise Natsu does when he's comfortable. "Good boy." I say. He laughs again and disappears. Cana tips back her last bottle and stands.

"Let's go!" She says. I sigh and pick Fro up off the ground. Cana helps me pack everything away and I start to walk back to the house.

"Are you really going to stay? We're missing 3 beds you know."

She shrugs unconcerned. "I'll sleep with Laxus." Then she grins. "In more ways than one!" And she cracks up laughing.

"Ugh." I say. "I did not need to know that. Just keep it down okay? And remember Wendy's going to be there."

"Sure!" We reach the house and I can smell Rogue's cooking. Fro wakes up and wriggles happily. Cana sniffs appreciatively.

"Smells good." She says.

"Rogue-kun is cooking again!" Cheers Fro. He must be feeling better. I push open the door and see Sting setting the table with Lector holding some spoons. Laxus is sitting on the couch watching a martial arts show on the lacrima vision. Cana waltzes over to him and sits in his lap, facing him, her legs straddling his. She's wearing a short skirt for once and when she sits it rides up to the top of her thigh.

"Hey sexy." She says seductively. I see him grow red and I almost laugh but what happens next shocks me. Cana leans forwards and crushes her lips to his. His eyes widen then he kisses her back, placing one hand on the hem of her skirt and the other on her head. Fro squeaks and I cover her eyes while she starts to giggle.

"Kissy, kissy!" She says happily. I try not to laugh as I walk into the kitchen.

"Hey Rogue!" I say. He turns and smiles at me. He's wearing a black apron and I don't know how, but he looks incredibly sexy.

"Welcome back, Lucy." He tacks my name on the end, like he was afraid to say it. He turns back to the stove.

"Need help?" I ask.

"No, thanks it's all good. Laxus and Sting ordered new beds. One came today but we are still two short."

"Okay."

"Lector bought back pots and things, so we are all okay in that area. We need more towels-"

"How about you make a list?" I say. "Then I can go and buy everything later."

He turns back to me. "Alone?"

The door slams and a loud, "We're home!" Echos through the kitchen.

"Natsu'll take me." I tell him. He nods and goes back to whatever it is he was doing.

"Where am I taking you?" Natsu comes up behind me and slings his arm across my shoulders.

"Shopping." I say looking up at him. Then I let out a small scream and turn around. He has a scar running from his temple to his jaw. "What happened?" I ask. I prod it gently and he winces.

"Cobra and me were fighting, nothing to serious." He shrugs it off but I force him to sit down so I can inspect it. It's still bleeding slightly so I find disinfectant-with the help of Rogue-and clean it. When it makes contact with his skin, he hisses and screws up his nose. I smack him on the arm and he sticks out his tongue.

"If you didn't move it wouldn't have hurt so much!"

He mumbles, but allows me to clean the blood from his face.

-Laxus-

She tastes really good. I pull my lips from hers and stare at her, I can smell it on her. She wants me. She wants everything. She draws me back in and sticks her tongue in my mouth. She expertly does things that make me groan into her mouth. She nibbles my bottom lip and swirls her tongue around, sucking and licking. Her hands leave my shoulders and trail downwards, she fingers the hem of my shirt and when I shift she grins into the kiss. She pulls away and leans in to whisper in my ear.

"I have a hotel room." Without hesitating I scoop her up and kick open the front door. Took her long enough. There was no way I was going to miss out on this.

-Lucy-

I hear the front door open again and a few minutes later, Cobra walks in.

"Where did Cana and Laxus go?" Natsu asks.

"To her hotel room." Cobra smirks.

"Why?"

"They are gonna do it." Says Cobra.

"Do what?"

"Laxus is gonna slam her."

"Huh?"

"Screw each other?" Natsu just looks more confused. "Shag? Get laid? Bang? Nookie? Get some? Intercourse? Doing the deed?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"ARE YOU SERIOUSLY THAT DUMB?" Cobra yells, totally frustrated.

Sting looks up from setting the table, frozen mid-action. Rogue pulls off his oven-mitts and leans against the counter smirking slightly. Fro is sitting on the cupboard looking confused while Lector is shaking his head at Natsu's stupidity. I sigh and put my hands on Natsu's shoulders. The poor guy looked hopelessly lost.

"Laxus and Cana are going to have sex." I tell him. He frowns and glares at Cobra.

"Why couldn't he have just said that in the first place?"

I pull back feeling the corner of my mouth twitching. I start shaking and Natsu looks back to me concerned.

"Luce, are you oka-"

I burst out laughing and he stares at me with a strange look on his face.

"Lu… cy?

"Sorry Natsu." I ruffle his hair and walk out of the kitchen, Fro jumps onto my shoulder and I make my way into the bedroom.

Because I didn't update in awhile, I made this one a bit longer than the rest. ^_^
