Chapter Eighteen

Since that day Lucille talked to her friends about Shizuka's words, they went on a few missions. They weren't anything special, just simple missions. However, Lucille couldn't give her all. Still perturbed about why she was needed. Her biggest fear being, that they needed to sacrifice her for their plan. Shizuka didn't seem to know all the details, otherwise, if she did, surely she wouldn't go along with it. Shizuka seemed to truly and genuinely care for Lucille, even though Lucille didn't remember her.

Sighing, Lucille sat up in her bed and stared at the door. She kept having dreams of herself being taken from everyone. She couldn't get it out of her head. That's when she decided. "I can't just worry. I need to do something. Something that could help me figure all this out." She nodded and began getting dressed. She decided she'd go see Yukino-san. She truly didn't want to worry her mother, so she'd go to Yukino-san first and see if she could help Lucille out. It had been awhile since she last saw Yukino and the Sabertooth guild members. Yukino and Sting ended up getting married and had two boys, Leroy and Zane, and just recently she found out they had a little girl, Yuuna. She hadn't seen the boys in a long time, and had yet to meet Yuuna. The reason being because she had been in the Spirit World and because she didn't want to be around the boys. Leroy was such a womanizer, it became draining to be around him. Zane wasn't too bad, but he seemed to be quite attracted to Lucille and Natalie, for different reasons. He was attracted to Lucille because of her knowledge about the constellations that Leroy never bothered to learn about. And he was attracted to Natalie because of her hair. Saying she had such glossy hair, and that it amazed him that her hair was "perfectly spikey at the top and smooth and straight on the bottom." Being around them was pretty exhausting, especially since they didn't see them that much anyway.

As she walked out of her room, she walked into the kitchen where Natsu was cooking. He turned to look at her and smiled. "Mornin' Lu! What do you want for breakfast?"

Lucille smiled. "I'd like some eggs, sausage, and toast, please."

"You got it! Would you mind telling Natalie her breakfast is ready? She's out in the back." Natsu asked.

"Sure." Lucille walked to the backyard and saw Natalie sunbathing, wearing only a red bikini that had orange hearts as the pattern on it. Natalie always tried to get a tan, but never could. She had their mothers fair skin. So when she did get a tan, it was faint and only lasted for a couple of days. Lucille gained Natsu's complexion and could tan fairly well. Walking up to her sister, she spoke. "Hey, dad says your breakfast is ready. Getting an early start on sun tanning?" She asked with a hint of a chuckle.

Natalie opened one eye, and scowled at her. "I know, I shouldn't try, but I felt like basking in the sun. It helps to fire me up, ya know? Like replenishing my magic." She said as she stood up. She finally noticed Lucille was dressed and looked ready to go somewhere. "What's up with you? You look ready to go somewhere." She stated suspiciously.

Lucille cursed herself and sighed. She should have known she wouldn't get past Natalie. "Ok, you got me. I am going somewhere. It's not a mission or anything. It's.." She faltered, and Natalie, not to Lucille's surprise, read her mind as she finished Lucille's sentence.

"About the thing with Shizuka. Right?" She asked crossing her arms.

Lucille only nodded. "Yes. But I'll tell you later, let's eat breakfast first." She said cutting any more of the discussion. Both girls walked in and saw Lucy sitting there with eggs, toast, and orange juice. Lucille and Natalie's plates all ready. They sat down silently as Natsu came to join them with pancakes and eggs of his own. The table was silent as they all ate their breakfast. Lucy was the first to break the silence.

"So girls, what's on your agendas today? Going on another mission? You guys have been doing really well lately." Lucy said smiling.

Lucille stiffened but Natalie just shrugged. "Not sure yet." She smiled as she took a bite of her pancakes. Lucy only eyed them but nodded as she finished her breakfast.

"So Lucille, how have you liked being able to use your magic to summon spirits? Is it hard?" Natsu asked curiously.

"Oh! And which is your favorite spirit?" Lucy chimed in.

Lucille smiled cheerfully. "Yeah, I definitely like being able to use my magic. At first it was difficult choosing certain spirits for each opponent but, it's getting easier! As for my favorite spirit...hmm.." Lucille took a bite of her sausage as she thought. She loved all the spirits, especially after training with them in the Spirit World. She closed her eyes. "It's hard to choose because I love them all, but..I think my favorite out of them all would be a three way tie between Loke, Capricorn, and Aquarius." Lucille laughed.

"Hey! Dad said your "favorite", as in one spirit. Not three!" Natalie exclaimed.

Lucille laughed. "I'm sorry! After spending time with them in the spirit world, it's hard to choose just one!"

Natsu laughed. "Hey, that's alright. Although I'm not so sure I like the thought of Loke being one of your favorites. He is a womanizer.." He said as his fatherly instincts kicked in. Lucille pacified her father's worry as she explained she thought of Loke as an uncle, and that he'd never be attracted to her since he has Aries. Of course, Natsu was still skeptical, which caused Natalie to chuckle.

Lucy smiled happily. She loved that one of her daughters shared her love of the spirits. Plus, she got to bond with them, so Lucille possibly loves them even more than herself. Done with her breakfast, Lucy stood up and walked over to hug her daughter.

"Ah!? Mom..?" Lucille asked as she just finished the last bit of toast in her mouth.

"Mmhmm. I'm just happy is all." Lucy replied, warding off their worry. She then kissed the top of Lucille's head and proceeded to put her dishes in the sink.

Lucille swallowed and drank the rest of her orange juice as she looked at Natalie, who just shrugged her shoulders. The girls and Natsu put the dishes in the sink and Lucille and Natalie walked out to the front porch.

"So, where you planning to go?" Natalie asked as she sat down and began juggling a fire ball that she created from her magic.

Lucille leaned against their house and looked at the scenery. "To see Yukino-san."

Natalie almost dropped the fireball, which would have been bad cause she didn't want to burn their house down. She almost did that when she was younger. Although her dad has done more than that before. She looked up at Lucille. "You serious?!" Lucille nodded. "But! You know those boys will never let you have a chance to talk to her! They'll suffocate you!" Natalie said with worry and terror in her voice.

Lucille scoffed. "Don't I know it. But I gotta. Maybe she can help me out. Plus I'll get to meet little Yuuna!" She said smiling.

Natalie gazed at her and sighed in defeat. "Well, guess I'm going too then. No way am I letting you go alone with those two boys there."

"But what about Zane? You know how he gets around you. Cain will be furious." Lucille said as she smirked slyly.

Natalie blushed but recovered and smiled. "Why don't we bring the whole team?!"

"Ah, well it's not like we're going on a mission.."

"So? It'll be fun! Plus, maybe Lydia can help distract those boys." Natalie said as she waggled her eyebrows.

Lucille laughed and sighed with a smile. "Alright, we'll bring the whole gang."

"Great! Let me go get changed. You let mom and dad know!" Natalie said as she ran inside.

Lucille bit her lip nervously. She'd have to casually tell them she just wanted to visit. Breathing in, she walked inside and strode over to her mom. Natsu was helping her with the dishes. "Hey, mom, dad? Me and the team are gonna go visit Sabertooth. We'll be back probably in a day or two. Don't worry. Love you, bye!" Lucille said in a rush and almost made it to her room to grab her bag and keys, and walk out the door without being questioned, when Natsu stopped her.

"Woah, woah! Visiting 'Sabertooth'?! Why do you want to visit them?!" He said sternly.

"Well, I haven't seen them since I disappeared. I miss them." Which wasn't a total lie.

Natsu eyed her. Was she on to a new guy since her mate bond was suppressed? Lucy filled him in on all that happened so he worried she may begin to want to date other guys. Yes, it didn't make sense, but his fatherly instincts were worried so of course he thought of the impossible. But he saw genuine feelings in her eyes. Of course, she missed them. He sighed, Lucy putting a hand on his shoulder.

"Alright, you can go." Natsu mumbled. "But if those boys do anything to you or Nat-"

"Don't worry. We got Cain, Ray, and Lance with us! Plus, Lydia might help distract them." Natalie said as she entered the conversation, dressed and ready to go.

Natsu looked somewhat relieved on hearing that. He groaned and tipped his head back. "Fine. You can go." He caved and the girls smiled, about to walk out when Lucy stopped them.

"Hey! Where's our hugs?" She said with hands on her hips. Lucille and Natalie giggled as the rushed over to give their parents hugs. "Be careful!" She shouted after them as they left. She sighed.

"Can't get used to it either, huh?" Natsu asked as he hugged her from behind.

Lucy huffed as she shook her head and leaned against his shoulder. "No. But we kind of have to. I don't want to admit that they are growing up and won't need us anymore." Lucy said with sadness in her voice.

Natsu placed a kiss on the top of her head and leaned his head against hers. "Me too. But they'll always need us at some point."

Lucy smiled as she closed her eyes, leaning into Natsu's abnormal warmth. "I hope you're right."

When the girls got to the guild, they walked straight to each member of the team and gathered them together. "Okay, here's what's going on." Natalie began. "Lucille is going to visit Yukino-san to see if she can help figure out this whole thing that Shizuka was talking about. Or at least give her some leads."

"Wait a minute..if you two go, won't those two be all over you guys." Lance commented. They all knew who he was talking about.

Natalie scratched behind her head and nodded. "That's why we, well, I was hoping you guys would come along. Especially, Lydia." She said nervously.

Lydia's eyes widened in surprise, then she smirked, understanding where she was getting at. "I gotcha. You want me to be the distraction and use my womanly charms, hm?" She asked, not at all bothered by the idea. The boys seemed to snicker I bit but shut up real fast when she gave them a death glare, much like Mirajane's.

"Yeah, so, will you guys come? I really need to get going now if I wanna make it at a decent hour." Lucille said, not meaning to be impatient.

Cain, Ray, Lydia, and Lance nodded and said they'd go. Natalie and Lucille waited for them at the train station so they could get some clothes to stay the night. Once they were all gathered, they hoped on the train and made their way to Sabertooth's guild. Natalie, Lucille, and Lance dreading it along the way.

'Kay, I know this is really short but I've been dealing with some stuff. Plus, I decided it'd be better to not have them arrive there and then end it in the middle. So I hope you're okay with it being short. And yes, I'm for Sting x Yukino. Please don't hate me. Lol
