AT NATSU WORKPLACE

Natsu leans on the wall. He's in a room with Gajeel, Levy, Gray, Juvia, Jellal, Mira, and Laxus. Waiting for Erza to get there. " So she's staying with you? " Mira asked. " For the time being " He said.

" I always wondered why she keeps running away " Levy said.

" It's because of her mom " Natsu said. " What does her mom have to do with it? " Jellal asked.

" Lucy doesn't like her mother, ever since she was young " He said.

Erza walks into the room. To see that they are all here. She closed the door and locked it, then closes the blinds. Confusing the rest of them. Erza only does this when it's a very confidential topic.

" What's up? " Gajeel asked. " Well, you all know Lucy right? " She asked. They nodded. " Yeah " Levy said. " Well, remember how she never like to talk about her dad, because he left her and her mom? " She asked.

" Yeah, I always wanted to beat him up for it " Juvia said. " Well, she wasn't angry because he left them. She was angry because her mom drove him away, and he left her with her " She said.

" Woah, that is tea " Mira said. " And even more, we've believed that he died in a car accident when she was 15, but he is actually still alive " She said. " How? " Natsu asked. " He made the whole thing up " She said.

" Why would he hide from his daughter though? " Gray asked. " Well, we have reason to believe he has been involved in some activities to go against us " She said. " What?! " Levy almost yelled.

They all shushed her. " Sorry, but why would he be doing that? " She asked. Erza starts to pace. This only happens when she is stumped. And she is almost never stumped. This is a real problem.

If Jude is actually alive, and he is working against them, he will have to die. Then they will have the problem of who is going to tell Lucy that her father was actually alive, but they killed him because he was opposing them.

They stayed there almost all night. They got so close. But then the trail just went cold. They decided they would pick this up tomorrow, and head home.

AT NATSU HOUSE

He opens the door. " Where is she? " He asked. " She is sleeping in the bed master " Misaki answered. " Thank you " He said. He takes a shower and gets dressed in a plaid pyjama pants.

Then he brushed his teeth before getting into the bed with Lucy. She turns around, and Natsu got scared, because Lucy is definitely NOT a morning person. But she was still asleep.

He let out a sigh of relief. She snuggles close to him. " Warm... " She muttered. He chuckled. " You used to say that all the time " He said. Then he wrapped his arms around her.

Even if their not together, this still feels right. They both miss it, but would never admit it.

~The next day~

Lucy wakes up, and still is in his arms. She blushed deeply. " G-get off me you pervert! " She said pushing him away. Still blushing madly. Natsu wakes up to her yelling. " Hey, you made the first move, so who is the pervert really " He said.

" I was sleeping, I don't know what I did, but you were awake so you have no excuse " She said with a pout while she crossed her arms. Natsu let out a soft chuckle. She was right, but also wrong.

He gets up and goes to the kitchen but stops at the bedroom door. He turned his head to the side. " Well, are you coming? " He asked. " Coming for what? " She asked. " Breakfast " He answers.

Lucy never really has breakfast anymore. Her mother says it will make her fat. " Mother-- " She was saying but then realized something. She isn't here.

She nodded and gets up to eat breakfast with Natsu. After they finish natsu gets a call. They got another lead to see where Jude is. " Okay I gotta go " He said. Lucy waves at him.

Lucy gets a call.

Hello???

Lucy it's me

Oh...

I have a question

Ask...

...

...

...

He-

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR DAMN MIND?!

Okay first of all, ow that hurts my ears. Second, no I'm not I'm perfectly fine why do you ask?

You've run away again!

Okay and?

You know you shouldn't do that! Your-

A famous model, yeah yeah, Natsu already gave me that crap

Natsu? Lucy are you sleeping-

No I'm not. My mom hired him to find me, and he did

So why when I track your phone through GPS your at his house?

Mom locked me out of the house and we have reinforced windows, and she doesn't trust me at home alone

All fair points

Anyways why are you calling me?

You need to come down for a photoshoot

And once again someone points out the reason I keep running away

Stop complaining, this is what you wanted so it's your fault

---

Lucy sighed " But it's not what I wanted " She said. What she really wanted was a family. A nice husband to settle down with, and to have kids. She didn't know who it would be, but she wants it to be natsu.

What do I have to wear?

She texted her.

Wear something Cute but sexy! And something for fall!

Lucy sighed. " Eileena I have to go to work now " She said. " No... " She said. She thought Lucy was gonna run away. " Okay fine, but you need a bodyguard " She said. " Why? I've never had a bodyguard before " Lucy asked.

" Because your famous, people can come after you, especially after you are staying with Natsu " She said. Lucy shrugged. " Okay fine " She said. Eileena called Elfman. A beast. 6'8 and 680 lbs of pure muscle.

He comes over, and Lucy hugs him. They know each other of course. He's mira's younger brother. Lucy gets dressed in a white spaghetti strap t-shirt, with a white knitted sweater over it, blue jeans, brown Knee-high boots, and a plaid scarf. She curled her to look like(in media) and reaches her waist.

" Okay I'm ready " She said. " That took a long time " Elfman said. " I know right " Lucy said annoyed. " But anyways we need get going, oh I almost forgot " She said. Then called Natsu. He might be worried of she's not there when he gets back.

Hello?

Natsu, I have a photoshoot today

Well wait, I'll get someone to watch you so you don't run away

Dont worry, Eileena called Elfman

Yeah! A real man is here to make sure she doesn't run away!!

Okay

They both hung up and then went back to what they were doing before.
