Lucy squeaked in surprise at Natsu's bold word choice. She had never seen him this jealous, even over someone like Dan. Like she would even consider being with that huge love craved creep. In front of her, Michelle gasped and hid her red face. Romeo just started at Natsu in shock, his cheeks also cherry red.
Happy laughed and held a paw over his mouths and teased Natsu, but it went through his ear and out the other. Natsu was in the middle of a silent battle with Dan. The man with the shield looked highly offended by his words while Natsu seethed in jealousy. Lucy had the notion to walk up to both of them and give them a piece of her mind. She then chose against it, not wanting to be caught up in their magic.
"How dare you say something so inaccurate. Lucy does not belong to you! Why would she choose a pink haired pyro like you?!" Natsu growled. He then attacked the man, but Dan only held up his shield from his fire. His fire attack going everywhere. Even hitting Lucy, she squealed and held her bottom. He ass was on fire. Her ass was on fire!
"Ah! My butt's on fire! My butt is on fire!"
"Let me spank it out!" Michelle suggesting, doing exactly as she said she would. Lucy sighed in relief when the fire was out. She turned to glare at Natsu for setting her onfire, but he completely ignored her, punching Dan's giant shield. Once again, his flames spewing everywhere. This created neccessary dust for their team to slip away from the Legion Platoon.
"Good thing we lost them." Lucy sighed.
"Well yeah, that's what I had in mind." Natsu said as if he really had that idea. Happy and Romeo rolled their eyes.
"You are such a liar!" Happy yelled. They turned to keep running, but ran right into Dan again. Lucy screamed and jumped back. Natsu ran up to her and shielded her with his hand. Lucy was going to say something but was stopped by Dan.
"Oh my Lucy pumpkin. How about we water our garden together, the garden of love!" Lucy held her mouth open in shock. What the hell does that even mean. Water their garden? That sounded like the stupidest pick up line she had heard in her life. She was really starting to get a huge head ache from all of this.
"Ugh that is the stupidest thing to say to a woman!" She yelled. Coco then appeared and looked at Dan, shaking her head. She crossed her arms and gazed at Dan's love struck expression. He was a lost cause by now. She didn't even know why she tried. She also wished she had gotten another partner.
"Dan we can't forget about the mission!"
"I could never forget about the mission. Mission of love!"
"See right there. That's what I mean." Natsu and Dan made eye contact. The brown haired man glared at the salmon haired dragon slayer. He turned to Lucy, his smile returning. Lucy sighed, he was actually attractive. But his personality was a huge turn-off to her and every other female on this planet. He was way too passionate about things, he barely knew Lucy.
"Loopy pie, I can feel our love growing stronger everytime our eyes connect. L.O.V.E!" Natsu sucked up some more fire and blew a fire dragon's roar his way.
"I am sick of hearing that!"
"Now you're really getting on my nerves," Dan shrugged. "Now get a taste of my magic spear!" Shooting bright green lights at Natsu, Natsu dodged. This was the same attack that turned him incredibly small. He did not want to get stepped on again by Happy. Natsu barely dodged the last wave attacks.
But it managed to hit Lucy. She squealed and felt herself growing smaller and smaller. Michelle looked huge, even Happy was ten times bigger than her. She was on the ground for a while, not having yet realizing what actually happened. Natsu stared in shock, Lucy's tiny form getting off ground.
"Oh no. No no no!" Lucy gasped and held her cheeks with her hands in surprise. "This cannot be happening!" She looked up at Natsu. He was so much bigger than she was. Just as he was about to pick her up, Dan stepped in. Natsu scoffed and stood back.
"Oh my, Lucy I am so sorry for what I have done! Now you'll never be my girlfriend!" He picked her up by the back of her jacket and held her up in the air while he cried on top of her head. She slowly felt herself get more irritated by the minute. She thrashed around in his grip and seethed heavily. It seemed he hadn't even noticed. She contemplated trying to attack him, but in this form she couldn't even kill a fly.
"That's right I won't, but change me back anyway!" He put her down and smiled. The situation looking up for the blonde. She crossed her arms and looked sternly at the man who held his spear to her body. Just as he was about to change her back, he suddenly stopped. "What's the hold up?" She asked impatiently.
He sat down and observed her. "I kind of like this small version of you," he held her in the palm of his hand. "You were smokin' hot before, but you're super cute now. I could carry you in my pocket and take you wherever I go." He grinned. Romeo could feel the sheer intensity of Natsu's heat beside him. Natsu wasn't even on fire yet. Romeo started to feel for Dan suddenly, Natsu can be a monster.
"That is not happening, put me down and change me back!"
"I'll only do it for a little while. I have the perfect place I can put you in my room so that I can look at you everyday!"
"I'm not some kind of action figure you weirdo!" He grabbed a small piece of string from his pocket and tied it to her and then to his waist. She sat there in silence for a second, shock still coming over her. Natsu felt his shoulders tense in irritation. Romeo was finally able to run away from the man and towards Happy. Happy shrugged and looked at the tiny Lucy.
"There, I'll just keep you here for the time being." Dan laughed.
"Woah he turned Lucy into some kind of good luck charm!" Romeo gasped.
"Hey, at least she's a lot cuter here."
"I want a little Lucy too!" Michelle squealed in happiness.
"Will you all stop and just help me! Take this guy down!" Dan stepped forward and held up his spear to Natsu. This whole time, Natsu was either seething in anger or waiting for Dan to stop chatting and fight him. After all this was over, he hoped to never see Dan again. He didn't even want anyone to speak his name. Dan laughed as if Natsu was at a disadvantage.
"Now that my tiny beloved is by my side, I feel like a mighty lion about to take down the cowardly gazelle!" Natsu made a small noise in shock and stared at Lucy. She was doing her best to get out of her position. She eventually gave up, her cheeks turning green. It seemed his movements were making her sick. Natsu turned back to the brunette.
"Your beloved my ass! If anything she should be by my side. She's my partner after all, not yours!" Natsu whined, running up to Dan to try and swipe Lucy away from him. Dan managed to flinch away and back up a few feet away from the dragon slayer. They started to fight again, twirling Lucy around in a circle.
"Dan we need to leave right now to find the clock peice!"
"I'm in the middle of something, you go find it!"
"I can't, Samual gave you the location, I don't even know where to start!" Dan looked a little annoyed with Coco but said nothing. He continued to shook off blasts of green light to Natsu, the poor man having to dodge every single one of them. Happy blinked and realized what they were getting themselves into. They had no idea where to go either. Both groups were completely useless right now.
"We need to leave now and find the pieces!" Happy announced.
"But he can't," Michlle countered. "Not as long as Lucy is in her tiny form. She wouldn't be able to do anything." Everyone looked to Lucy, the poor girl still being spun around. Her eyes swirled as she felt herself wanting to pass out. Michelle cried in despair as she watched Lucy. She felt as if she should do something to help, but she was sure she would only get in the way. Luckily, Lucy finally came up with a plan.
"Oh man I'm going to hurl! Oh wait I have an idea, open gate of the Archer! Sagittarius!" The small horse man appeared on the ground. He looked around the room for a moment. But then noticed Lucy up above him. She looked smaller, but she was still above him. That's when he saw the furry blue paw next to him.
"My lady what is going on! I have shrunken in size!"
"Oh man even my spirits have shrunk, what kind of messed up magic is this?" Sagittarius still got into his regular stance and looked up at the enemy that dared attach his master to his side. He pulled back his bow and arrow and put one arrow in.
"I still shall serve my lady to the best of my ability!" He shot the arrow but it only landed on Dan's cheek. This faltered Dan's movements and he froze for a second before grabbing the small arrow that stuck into his cheek. He looked at it for a moment before gasping happily. Sagittarius watched in horror as Dan stuck the arrow in his mouth.
"Wow, this must be the best day of my life! I've had this piece of fish stuck in my teeth for a while and it's been driving me crazy." He picked out his teeth with the arrow and looked at the man who shot it. Sagittarius's eyes widened at what Dan did.
"My arrows have been reduced to toothpicks, this is pathetic!" And stepped forward and lifted his foot to the small horse spirit.
"Thank you for the toothpick weird horse guy. Now I'll repay you with a quick death." Sagittarius backed up as he was about to be squashed by Dan's foot. But it seemed Happy was already on heading towards the spirit, tripping and then stepping on Sagittarius. Crushing him under his paw. Lucy sighed and allowed the spirit to disappear. Romeo slapped his forehead.
"That might of just done more harm than good."
"Sorry guys. It seems I am literally no use it this battle. I can't even get up to use my dragon slaying magic. It's like being shrunk has messed with all of my celestial magic." That's when Michelle finally had gotten an idea. She clapped her hands together. Running up to Dan, the smile that spread from cheek to cheek worried Lucy. Natsu stood there in silence. He didn't even know what was going on half the time.
"Since you two love birds are meant to be, why not just get married right now! You both are in a beautiful church which has a lot of history behind it. Which is absolutely wonderful, it has a very aesthetic feeling to it!" Dan went along with this idea. His nose blowing out steam at the mere thought. Having a wedding with both members of Fairy Tail and the Legion Platoon attending. Them taking a honeymoon across the sea. Him declaring his love to Lucy over and over again.
"How romantic!" Dan shouted.
