I know that this story has not been updated for nearly a year, I am very sorry about that. I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.
Lucy POV
Me and the rest of my guild mates stood nervously outside of Sabertooth's hotel. I finally got annoyed with waiting and made my way to the front and shoved open the giant doors. Fairy Tail was greeted by the main members of Sabertooth, who had gigantic smiles plastered on their faces excluding Rogue who was too busy drooling over a embarrassed Nova.
"LET'S PARTY!" Cana screamed just before Erza knocked her out for being rambunctious. "Come on in guys! We don't bite… much!" Yukino cheerfully joked. While the rest of the guild was staring at the decorations, I gracefully walked into the building with Evergreen strutting proudly after me wanting to be a "proud fairy".
Noticing that my guild was taking forever to come inside I taunted while smirking "Hey Natsu-nii, are you scared to come in?" "HELL NO! I BET FROSTY BALLS IS THOUGH!" Natsu yelled excitedly while charging in after me.
Gray ran in at top speed with Juvia chasing him who was screaming "Gray-Sama, wait for Juvia!"
After the troublemakers were in, everyone else reluctantly followed them in. I turned to the tigers and said "You're welcome." Then I turned and headed over to Nova and Star.
Ash POV
Holy shit. I like her dress, it shows off her assets. Really. Well. "Uhhhh… Ash… you're brother is here." Yukino informed me. "Oh shit." I whispered. "Hey little bro! How you doing?" My tough, mean, big brother greeted gruffly. "Okay." I responded coolly, bracing myself for something I knew would happen.
"Is that how you talk to me?!" He raised his fist and punched me in the face. Hard.
From the look of horror on his face, he had seen someone important. "Lu-" the bastard started. "Save it Dan." A woman spoke, her voice colder than the snowy tundra of Bosco. "You okay Ash?" The woman asked me, her voice filled with concern. I caught a glimpse of her hair. "Blondie?"
"Yeah it's Lucy. How are you feeling?" She asked again, sounding even more worried. "Like I got hit by a purse." I answered. "I'm not surprised." Blondie muttered. "Can you see at all?" "No, not really." I heard a annoyed sigh "Nova, ice pack please."
I felt something really cold touch my face. I grimaced. "That's really cold." She snickers, offering no sympathy. "Lulu, why the hell are you helping him?" My brother asked rudely. "Why should I answer you?" She responded in a icy tone.
"Because I SAID SO!" He roars. "That makes me not want to answer you even more you know." Blondie said matter of factly. "Come on dude what have you been eating lately?!" Sting said as he tried to help me up from my place on the floor.
I felt Dan's fist connect with my face once again. Just after I was punched, a loud slapping sound caught my attention. "Go away Dan! NOW!" He stomped away. "What happened to him?" Blondie asked.
"He's always like that." I commented. "Phew, now I'm super happy I didn't go out with him." She sighed. "OH YEAH! Do you want your face healed?" "Yeah! Why wouldn't I?" I snickered. "Wendy can you heal Ash's face please?" I heard Blondie ask the sky dragon slayer.
"Okay Lucy-nee!" I heard a sharp intake of breath as Wendy examined my black eye and bloody nose. "Lucy-nee, get me a few towels." I heard Blondie hurrying to get what the sky dragon slayer needed.
My POV
Lucy quickly returned, carrying several towels and a small tub of water. Half the party gaped at the four fairies. However nobody noticed a glowering maroon headed man thinking deeply over at a small table with a mug of beer.
The small slayer instructed Ash to close his eyes and think about something that would not make him angry. Thus, he pictured Lucy smiling and happy with her friends.
When Wendy was done healing him, Ash said "Thanks for healing my face kid!" The tiny girl smiled shyly at him, feeling embarrassed. He playfully ruffled her hair which caused the sky dragon slayer to yelp and try to fix her messy hair.
His male teammates gaped at him until he finally began glaring and growled "What are you looking at?" The men continued to stare and Ash realized it wasn't him they were staring at.
They were staring at his brother and Blondie. The men watched the scene warily, as his hand was wrapped tightly around her upper arm and she stared blankly back at him. He smirked darkly, trying to be seductive and she made a gagging noise.
"Let's have a fight and if I win you have to quit Fairy Tail, become my wife, and begin to travel with me." She cocked her head to the side, her nose scrunched up in thought adorably. "What's in it for me?" Blondie asked carefully. "Whatever you want." She smirked dangerously.
"Ash gets to beat the crap out of your already dead body if he wants, and you will never lay a hand on any Fairy Tail or Sabertooth members ever again." Blondie said, smiling cutely. "Why would I be dead?" He asked stupidly. "Because our fight would have happened, that's why." The air around her dropped several degrees as her blonde hair shadowed her eyes.
Natsu POV
I watched the man attempt to manhandle my partner through narrowed eyes. I felt a large, strong hand rest itself on my shoulder. "C'mon Natsu, let go back and get a new room for just the two of us." A familiar unwelcome voice purred suggestively into my ear.
"Lisanna, how many times do I have to tell you. I am not interested." I said through gritted teeth. "Let go of me now." I demanded. She held fast. I roughly shook her off and ran to find Erza.
Lucy POV
We had walked outside to Sabertooth's Training Yard and stood facing each other in the center, the rest of the party was circled around us. Master walked to in between us and stopped. "There are 3 rules. Number one no killing, Number two no transporting to other dimensions, Number three no maiming. Am I clear? The fight will be over when one is unconscious or surrenders, AND NO FAKING SURRENDERING OR THE OTHER WILL AUTOMATICALLY WIN!"
We both nodded and then he smirked arrogantly "Lulu, I'm looking forward to seeing how good you are in bed!" He shouted to me.
That was it. No mercy. I'm gonna go all out using my weapons and reequip that Erza ever so graciously taught me and my keys. I smiled a deceitful smile "Master can we begin?" I asked softly. "BEGIN!" (AN: Play an epic song during the fight!)
My POV
Master Makarov quickly got out of the way and had Freed set up runes. The blonde stared at him with anger simmering in her russet eyes. He still kept a smirk on his face even as they both shifted into a more comfortable position for fighting.
"Lucy, I saw how much you hold back around people and your very own guild mates, so don't hold back, it was more fun then going against Titania." He requested loud enough for everyone to turn questioning eyes on her. "Well all of your guild mates except Salamander, Titania, Laxus-san, Gildarts-san, and the old man."
Lucy held out a key and said softly, her eyes mere slits. "Open gate of the Goat, Capricorn." A goat man wearing a black suit and tie appeared, a menacing aura filled the confined space. "You are despicable, Lucy-Sama even tried to become friends with you at first and now you threaten to take away her happiness? You are mere scum!" Capricorn spat angrily.
"How many times have you sucked his dick in order for him to say that Lulu-tan?" The arrogant man smirked as she quietly held Capricorn back from attacking him and her hair covered her face. "You bastard. You think I would defile my spirits like that? Do you really think that low of me?" The blonde hissed quietly in anger.
"Yes I do think that low of you, after all you are more fit to be on bottom because you have the shit beat out of you so many times I can't even count all of them using my hands and feet. Do you like it kinky?" He answered smugly.
The angry blonde lunged, her hair flying back from her face. The beautiful blonde's face was purely animalistic as her eyes held a feral rage, a sword materializing in her hand and Capricorn lunging at him from the opposite direction, Dan barely blocked both attacks. "Looks like I underestimated you." He taunted
He then kicked the goat man as hard as he could in the stomach, which caused Capricorn to dissolve into thin air because that kick would have broken a normal man's ribs. "Dan if you have breath for talking, you're holding back." She responded coolly, all traces of her previous anger gone. "You're right. It's time to get serious isn't it?"
Their magic power skyrocketed all the way to dragonslayer level easily. Everyone was forced to their knees from the raw magic power, except the dragon slayers, until Freed finally wrote a rune that kept the magic power contained.
The two stood barely a yard away from the other and stared for the long seconds before getting into close combat. They couldn't land a hit on the other no matter how hard or fast they hit. Lucy finally threw her leg out and he threw a punch and the two were forced apart from the sheer force.
They each slammed into one side of the rune barrier so hard began to the runes began to flash multicolored rapidly. Lucy launched herself at him the exact same moment he lunged at her, maniacal smiles plastered to their faces.
Lucy reequipped and this time was holding a mace that was producing waves of pure magic power. Dan grinned smugly "Shielding is my specialty, you know that sweetheart."
For the first time during this battle a confident smirk crawled onto her face. "Remember the damage my club caused when it was infused with my magic?" "Remember how much that wore you out?" Dan countered. Her smirk slid off her face quickly at that.
Her frown marred her face like a scar as she readied herself to unleash an attack using her mace. She held it in one hand and she swung the mace at him and his shield. To everyone's surprise, Dan's shield shattered from the impact at least 5 seconds after. The man was sent flying back from the impact and hit the wall painfully, and his wrist snapped and was now held at an awkward angle.
The once cocky man glared up at the blonde she advanced on him. Dan stared up at Lucy as she stood over him, "Do you surrender?" The blonde asked quietly. "Never." He snarled before sending a bone shattering kick to her face. She was sent flying back into the rune wall face first. A sickening crack was heard.
Lucy pulled herself back up. She gave him a frosty glare as blood dripped from her now broken nose. She tore a piece of her dress off and blew her nose with it. Then she placed a small hand on each side of her nose and quickly set it.
Dan had molded a piece of his leg armor into a poor cast for his broken wrist and they were now glaring intensely at each other. This time Dan initiated the attack. He lunged at her, but what surprised everyone was that she lunged backwards at the wall without turning once and bounced back off the wall and straight back into him which caught him off guard.
He struggled as she pinned him to the ground strengthening her body with Taurus's magic. His body suddenly went lax and she let her guard down slightly. But it was enough for him to gain the upper hand. He kicked her in the abdomen and she was sent flying back into a portion of the wall the separated her from the Sabertooth members.
Everyone watched in silence as she shot the Sabertooth members a reassuring smile that was obviously painful for her. Every single person in the area wanted to scream for her to move as Dan approached her from behind, but were stuck watching the fight almost spell-bound.
Her beautiful smile disappeared as her leg suddenly wrapped around his calf and she flipped herself over him and tripped him while doing it. Lucy pressed a sharp, very sharp, (AN:AIIIIIIEEEEEEEE! DON"T COME NEAR ME WITH THAT THING LUCY!) blade to his neck and looked on coldly as a thin line of crimson blood bubbled up on his neck.
For the first time in forever, Dan was… laughing? (AN: WTF Dude?! You pissed her off and your laughing with a sword to the neck?! Granted I might have too, but STILL YOU FUCKING IDIOT!) "Do you know how hard it was to get to the level I am at now? Do you?" Lucy asked quietly, her face a beautiful porcelain mask, giving nothing away. His laughter subsided.
"I gave up everything I was taught, the only place I was ever known, and my only living family member to gain a new family that actually cared about me. One that didn't lock me in a room for a week with no food just for attempting to go into a garden without bodyguards." Her fingers on the blade were holding the handle so tightly that the wooden handle was cracking.
"Why then? You could have had the world on a silver platter, so why did you run?" Dan asked, his maroon eyes searching her own chocolate ones curiously. "Because that wasn't love, that wasn't family, that wasn't happiness, and it wasn't what my mother would have wanted." Lucy's words rang clear and true, to everyone's ears.
Dan stared up at her, his own emotions hid behind a carefully constructed mask "I surrender." His lips moved against his will. The blonde stared down at him, and then got up.
He struggled to sit up, until a pair of feminine hands helped him stand and Lucy helped him limp to the edge of the rune barrier. Freed dispelled the barrier and the two powerful mages walked gracefully to where the Sabertooth mages stood, both still maintaining an air of confidence and power, even after the fight.
"You know what you need to do Dan." Lucy's voice was calm and composed as the man sighed and shifted uncomfortably. "Ash….. I'm sorry, for everything, really…. That isn't how family is supposed to be…. I know you'll probably never forgive me, but I just want you to know that… I am sorry. I've been…jealous… you were always the handsomer, smarter, more powerful even, and you were a part of Fiore's best guild…" Dan had started to cry around the point where admitted that he hadn't been the best brother he could possibly be.
The Sabertooth members looked on in confusion, but Ash stepped forward to wrap his arms around his older brother. Dan let go of Lucy entirely because he fell unconscious, leaving her to stagger and try and keep her balance but was unsuccessful and crumpled to the ground the a wet paper doll.
Ash POV
I watched as Lucy fell towards the ground and was caught by none other than her partner, Natsu Dragoneel. He looked at her worst injuries first and quickly called over Wendy and Chelia to heal Blondie and my big brother. It was strange holding up the man who had sworn to hate my very existence. Did he really mean all of it?
My mind told me to forget that this ever happened and not to forgive him, but my instincts told me to forgive and to forget. Despite my better judgment, I decided to trust him. I looked at the woman in Dragoneel's arms, I felt my chest tighten, Blondie had done this for me. My inner dragon roared in approval.
I watched on anxiously as my older brother and my (soon to be) mate were being healed. Blondie's eyes fluttered open as soon as her broken nose had been healed by Wendy. She sat up, pushing off the people on her as though she had not just been in a fight and walked over to where Sabertooth's mages resided, along with Nova and Star.
A kind smile bloomed onto her weary face but she said anyways, "You're welcome Ash." Yukino was silent as she stared at her dress. "Lucy? You're dress is ruined…" Lucy's smile slipped off her face as Blondie intensely glared at my unconscious brother. "Bastard! Stop faking just avoid my wrath!"" She screamed in his ear.
"Hai, Hai….Bitch." Dan cracked open an eye and observed her. "You know it, Bastard." She sneered playfully. "Lets all head back inside, eh?" Makarov announced, with a twitching smile, probably thinking of the future damage cost.
"Alright" Lucy easily shrugged off Dan's glare "After all this, I am going to have an affair with Cana's hubby." I exchanged a confused glance with my fellow Saber's, but Nova rolled her eyes at Lucy and Nova giggled and whispered conversationally "Mind if I join in on the fun?"
"Not at all Nova… In fact I would love if you joined me." The Blonde purred softly. "Lucy stop teasing them and just tell the what you mean." Star snorted, tossing her wavy hair over her shoulder. "Alright, you win. Cana is addicted to alcohol-"
"Shut up, Lushy! I'm not going to invite you to our wedding. AND YOU WILL NOT BE HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH MY HUBBY!" The previously mentioned woman wailed at the top of her lungs.
"I'm pretty sure all of you are smart enough to fill in the blanks. So if anyone needs the three of us just know that we will be having an affair with Cana's hubby." Blondie stated, her face the picture of calm, cool, and collected.
Lucy winked at me before grabbing Star and Nova and sauntering off to the party. I stared after her, eyes fixated on her hips as they swayed back and forth. "Hey Ash, wipe the drool off of your face, if you want to get her, I'll gladly give you some tips." Sting smirked at me before returning to staring at Star's ass.
"Let's head in." Rogue's quiet monotone cut through the awkward silence easily and smoothly. "Alright!" Sting whooped happily. We joined the mass of people making their way (AN: I really wanted to type, "Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass" Anyone get it?) into the party once more.
I caught sight of Lucy talking to Rufus, who was serving as the DJ tonight, about something. He nodded his head and Lucy smiled at him, thankful. "Okay ladies and gentlemen, I am sorry to interrupt the music, but we have a performance scheduled by a very lovely young lady and a destructive young man, you'll know them as the troublemaking duo. The light of Fairy Tail, Lucy Heartfilia and Fairy Tail's Salamander, Natsu Dragoneel." Rufus announced, throwing his arms out for a dramatic affect.
Fog crept over the stage as the silhouettes of two people standing back to back, as the large speakers began to boom electronic music. (AN: Lucy is in italics, Natsu is underlined. I am also changing a few words in the song, but it is still recognizable)
H-Heartfilia!
Red One!
Mr. Worldwide!
From Miami!
Morocco!
To Australia!
To the world!
Run 'em like, we run 'em
Got it!
Run 'em like, we run em
The two figures separated, spotlights landing on them both revealing them and their flashy outfits. Lucy flipped one pigtail over her shoulder and began to sing.
When the sun goes down, down, down
Boy are you afraid of the dark, dark?
And when the lights go out, out, out.
Tell me, do you know where to start, start?
And when the bass gets loud, loud, loud.
That is when I feel apart, part.
Blondie stretched her arms out as far they could go to represent part and slid in to the splits quickly and somersaulted up.
And when the world sleeps sound, sound, sound.
Well, the sound is the key to my heart, heart.
We run, yes we run the night, the night.
We run, yes we run the night, night, night.
We run, yes we run the night.
We-we-we run, we-we-we run, we-we-we run-run
We run, yes we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni.
Run the night.
Run em, run em.
Run the night.
Run em, run em
Lucy stepped back, allowing Natsu to have the spotlight.
From the bottom of the map
(Miami!)
To the land down under
(Australia!)
You feel my draft
See my vision

As my money gets older,
Theirs get's younger

We run, yes we run the night.
We-we-we run, we-we-we run, we-we-we run-run
Run 'em like, we run 'em
Run 'em like, we run 'em
Natsu pumped his fist, then ran forward and back flipped to his original spot
Feeling like a rush, rush, rush.
Pushing past me all over my skin, skin.
I can't get enough, 'nough, 'nough, 'nough.
'Cause the beat keeps pullin' me in, in.
Takin' me so high up, up, up.
Place that I've never been, ahh.
Lucy twirled quickly, nearly flashing the audience in her little black dress.
Party, party all night, night, night.
Sleep all day then do it again, 'gain.
We run, yes we run the night, the night.
We run, yes we run the night, night, night.
We run, yes we run the night.
We-we-we run, we-we-we run, we-we-we run-run
We run, yes we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-ni.
Run the night.
Run 'em, run 'em
We run, yes we run the night (We run),

We-we-we run, we-we-we run, we-we-we run-run
We run, yes we run the night, the night, ni-ni-ni-night.
Run 'em like, we run 'em
The partner's stood side to side and took a deep bow. "Thank you all for being such a wonderful crowd tonight!" Lucy smiled brightly. "If anyone ever wants a performance, call Fairy Tail and schedule one!" Natsu chimed in, his trademark grin in place.
So what did you guys think? I have been reviewing my past chapters and am not that pleased with them. I really am sorry about the long wait, If I was the reader I would probably be really annoyed at the wait. I got this done last March but the computer was being an asshole and decided that it would refuse to connect to the internet and then once it reconnected, it refused to connect to Fanfiction and I was only now able to upload it.
