I couldn't think of anymore little side stories, so I'm just gonna go on to the next Platinum key. Gomendasai! And AnimeWriter___ was the one who came up with his personality, so she is also the creator of Mercury! Congratulations! You now have a two children!

"Natsu?" Lucy coaxed. "What is it now, Lucy?" He asked. "Can you please get on the boat?" Natsu crossed his arms over his chest. "No." He answered. "Please!" She asked as she pulled on his arm. "No! I'm not not going onto that death trap!" Natsu whined like a young child.

"Don't make me summon Venus!" Lucy threatened and Natsu visibly paled. "Fine." Natsu sighed in submission and let Lucy drag him onto the boat. Happy hung over the side of the boat and looked sick. "Don't tell me you got motion sickness too!" Lucy sighed in exasperation. "No. Whenever I think of Venus it makes me want to hurl!" Happy cried.

"I don't know what you think is so bad about her. I think she's awesome!" Lucy exclaimed. "She's scary." Natsu cowered. "She is really obsessive." Happy replied. "And weird." Lucy sweat dropped. "Says the flying, talking, blue cat." Lucy answered.

"Hey, Natsu! Hurry up! I want to get that key fast!" Natsu and Happy dragged along behind her. "Why don't you slow down!" Happy whined. Lucy stopped at a small house and knocked on the door. A young woman opened the door widely. "Are you wanting to buy my key?" She asked. "Yes ma'am!" Lucy smiled brightly. "Well, you can have it, but it won't work." She replied.

"What do you mean it won't work?" Lucy asked. "Well, I'm a celestial wizard, but it wouldn't open for me." The woman answered. "Of course it didn't! A celestial wizard can't open one of these keys!" Lucy giggled. "Open! Gate of Hermes, Mercury!" She pronounced as an orange haired young boy appeared. He wore a light orange toga and sandals that had feathery wings on the sides. "How did you do that? You didn't even have the key yet!" The woman exclaimed.

Natsu and Happy suddenly burst through the door. "Lushee! Why don't you wait up for us?" Happy whined. Mercury smirked and looked up at Lucy. "You've sure grown. I kinda thought you'd stay a short little girl forever." Mercury jeered. "You seem to have grown shorter, Mercury." Lucy replied. Mercury tried to measure himself and Lucy laughed. "Hey, stop messing with me!" He cried.

"How do you know him?" The woman asked. "My mother used to own his key." Lucy answered. "Then why did it work for you and not me?" The woman continued. "Only a god or goddess can summon another God or goddess." Lucy replied.

"You mean to say that you are both gods?" The woman asked. "Can we leave Lucy? This lady isn't even that pretty. I want to see Venus! She's the prettiest lady ever!" The boy whined. "That's rude. Say you're sorry." Lucy ordered.

"I'm sorry miss. But it's been so long since I last saw Venus' beautiful body!" Mercury answered. The woman seemed a bit shocked that a young child would say something like that. "You're way too young to be crushing on girls." Lucy scolded. "No! I'm over seven hundred years old!" Mercury whined. Lucy ignored him and turned to the woman. "How much do you want for the key?" She asked. "You can have it for free!" The woman said nicely.

"Are you sure?" Lucy asked. "Yes. Here's the key!" The woman handed her the key. Happy flew onto Mercury's head and curled up into a ball. Mercury tried to detach the cat from his head and failed. "Lucy, can you get this cat off my head?" Lucy just smiled and petted Happy. The foursome left the house and thanked the woman. "When do I get to see Venus?" Mercury asked. Happy suddenly flew off his head and gave him a disgusted look.

Lucy pulled out Venus' key. "Open! Gate of Aphrodite, Venus!" Venus suddenly appeared and Mercury latched onto her waist. "I thought I'd never see you again my beautiful maiden!" Mercury cried. "Get off me, perv!" Venus yelled at Mercury. She looked ticked and Natsu and Happy cowered in fear, but Mercury stayed latched to her waist. Venus detached the little leach and threw his head into the pavement. "I still love you, my beautiful rose!" He said. "Well I already have a boyfriend!" Venus proclaimed. She grabbed Happy out of the air and hugged him to her chest. Happy looked like he was about to cry.

"Happy is my soulmate and not you!" Venus yelled and Mercury started to cry. "You left me for a flying cat?!" Mercury said in between sobs. "Yes. Now deal with it!" She stomped away with Happy.

"So I guess they are actually a couple now."
