Natsu's PoV
"Natsu. Erza. Gray. Happy. You will all be going with Lucy to find her dragon," Gramps said. He'd called us all into his office a while after Levy and Erza came out of the medical room. I was going to go in and hang out with Luce, but Erza said she was sleeping, and threatened my life if I went in there and woke her up.
A giant grin took over my face. I didn't try to contain it. "Let's go! What are ya guys waiting for?" I asked, jumping out of the chair and standing by the door.
"Slow down, idiot. Master's not don't talking yet," Gray said over his shoulder. My hand caught on fire and I was about to punch him in the back of his stupid icy head when Gramps' words stopped me.
"Somehow, a dark guild has found out about the dragon scale. The people that attacked earlier were only members to confirm the rumors, which they obviously did. On your mission, I believe that many people will try to kidnap Lucy and take her scale. The danger for her is now intensified as she has all twelve Zodiac keys now."
That severely pissed me off. If people thought they could hurt my Lucy, they had another thing coming. I'd destroy each of them, one by one, if they ever touch her. I told her I loved her, and she loves me too, so she's mine now.
"Who are they? How did the find out?" Boxer Queen asked.
"They are the dark guild Stone Heart. I don't know how they figured it out, but it's too late to worry about that now. All we can do is get Lucy to the mountain and hope everything works out."
"What mountain?" Gray asked. Could he shut up with the questions? Let's just go already!
"Lunar Mountain. Lucy should know how to get there, so don't worry," Gramps said.
"I've heard something about Stone Heart before…," Erza thought out loud. Gramps nodded.
"They have one of the strongest teams of any dark guild we know about. They are known as Team Perish. Look out for Takeshi; he is the most dangerous—," I'd heard enough. Sitting around talking about it wasn't going to do anything!
"Well, then let's go!" I said again, already walking out the door. The sounds of hammers and drills went on all around the four of us as we made our way back down to the medical room. I grabbed they shoe that had previously hit me in the head before we went inside.
"LUCE!" I yelled. Gray face palmed, and so did Levy, who joined us from the bar. I turned around slowly to see Erza. Her eyes were black as midnight, and I could see her shaking in anger.
"I told you she was sleeping," Erza said darkly. It looked like she was getting taller than me each second. There was a weird kind of purple haze around her.
"I'm sorry!" I yelled, running over to Lucy and hiding on the other side of her bed.

Lucy's PoV
I heard Natsu yell and opened my eyes groggily to see a very mad Erza towering over a frightened Natsu. After Wendy healed me, I made a contract with Pisces, the fishes. They seemed great, although they didn't talk much. All the crying with Erza and Levy, plus the stress of the day, wore me out.
Levy stepped into the room, maneuvering her way past the two easily. Gray still stood at the door, laughing.
"I'm sorry!" Natsu yelled, running over to me and hiding behind my bed. I couldn't help by laugh as well.
"What are you all doing in here?" I asked, trying to hold in my giggles. Gray walked over and held out a hand to me, helping me stand.
"We're all going with you to find that dragon," he said. "I've got your scale right here!"
"Besides me. I'm just here to see you off!" Levy said.
My legs were fine again, but a little stiff. Gray's arm helped me stay up. I'd only taken one step away from the bed when Natsu ran out of nowhere as fast as he could and head-butted Gray in the side, away from me. Without the extra support, I sat heavily back on the bed.
"What the hell are you doing?" Gray yelled.
"She's mine, so don't touch her!" Natsu yelled back. The butterflies in my stomach woke up and multiplied. He didn't have to go yelling stuff like that! Although I was flattered, my cheeks burned as I turned to face the girls.
"Erza, Levy, would you mind?" I asked sweetly. Erza nodded stonily, and Levy smiled. They were both going to take pleasure in this.
Levy took her pen out of her pocket and scrawled the word in the air. A giant stack of heavy hardcover books appeared and fell down from the sky, landing square on top of Natsu and Gray's heads. Erza requppied into her Fire Empress Armor, and pointed the sword at Natsu. Both boys were cowering in the corner, holding each other as if they were best friends.
"Don't make me use this," she said. Natsu pushed himself against the wall further, rubbing his head.
"A-Aye," Gray choked.
"Lucyyyyy!" Natsu whined.
"People are not objects. You cannot decide whether they are yours or not," Erza said.
"I'll help you back to your apartment to pack, Lu-chan," Levy said, holding an arm out to me. I took it gratefully. Erza transformed back to her normal attire now that her lesson was taught and took my other arm. Together, the three of us walked from the room and into the guild to say goodbye to everyone, leaving Natsu and Gray still sitting in the medical room, grumbling and crying to themselves.
"Get moving. We depart in two days' time."
Sorry for the short chapter Fairies. The next one should be much longer, so I'll make it up to you all! Thank you all so much for reading!
