A/N: YOU GUYS REALLY DIDN'T THINK I'D LEAVE YOU HANGING LIKE THAT?!! ANYWAY BACK TO THE STORY :)

Sorano paced up and down the locker room hoping she could figure out a way to tell Lucy and Yukino of Lisanna's psycho plan without them not believing her and without Lisanna figuring out that she had decided to betray her after all.

She groaned and punched a locker door and immediately cried in pain as she slammed her back against the wall and slid down it holding her hand in agonizing pain.

She pulled her legs up to her stomach and dropped her head into the space between her arms. "Oh gosh. Since when was it so complicated to do the right thing. Oh yeah...always".

Sorano allowed warm tears to fall down her now hot cheeks thinking of all the horrible things she had been doing to people since the eighth grade. Lisanna introduced her to Sting and she immediately became enticed by his smile and unruly blond hair. Lisanna on the other hand fell for his brother who had unruly and unnatural salmon hair and a smile that could send you the moon and back. Lisanna told her that they had a chance to be popular and date the hottest guys in the school. She remembered that day like it was yesterday.

*FLASHBACK*

"O.M.F.G Sora!" 14- year old Lisanna squealed holding Sorano's hands in hers. "What's the matter Lis?" She asked concerned.

"We are going to be super popular after tonight!" She exclaimed letting go of her hands and beginning to do a happy dance around her friend.

"What do you mean by that Lisanna? Never in a million years would we be popular". Sorano said shaking her head doubtfully and popping another fry into her mouth.

Lisanna shook her head and grabbed Sorano's tray that consisted of two hamburgers, an extra large fries, and a large milkshake. "You're right Sora. Never in a million years would YOU be popular if you keep eating like every meal is your last". She finished with an eyeroll before throwing her tray into the garbage and dusting her hands off.

Sorano watched Lisanna in pure shock,"What in Mavis' name has gotten in to you Lis?"

Lisanna smiled at her,"It's called popular vibes hun. Get with the program!"

"But we're not popular Lis".

Lisanna grinned at her friend before sitting down beside her and crossing her legs,"You mean not yet. Today in history Natsu asked if we wanted to accompany them to the movies and watch a scary movie!"

"How is that going to get us popular Lisanna? Maybe they're just trying to get to know us better to have more friends at the school or whatever. They invited Gray and the others to a carnival last week so they can become friends".

"How fucking dumb can you get?"

Sorano gasped at her friends language. She had never cursed before, she had only used abbreviations or names of fruit to subsitute. She had never been so mean before...what made her decide it was cool to do it now?

"Honestly Sora. It's a SCARY MOVIE. Not a dumb kiddies carnival. They're inviting us there so we can cuddle with them when we get scared. And maybe at the end of the night we'll get our first kisses! I feel it".

Sorano realized what her friend was getting at and joined her for their celebratory dance. She stopped dancing and Lisanna groaned,"What is it THIS time?"

"What about LuLu and Yuki?"

"Who?" Lisanna said uninterested as she fiddled with a hangnail on her index finger.

"Them. Our best friends remember?"

Lisanna watched in disgust as Lucy and Yukino walked out from the doors with their hefty lunches in their hands. Lisanna cringed at Lucy's acne filled brace face and Yukino's chunky body and her deteriated nikes.

"What about them?" Lisanna asked confused.

"Aren't they coming with us to our newfound popularity?"

Lisanna watched Sorano in silence before she started laughing hysterically."You don't actually think those menaces to society will ever make it as populars do you? Wow that's the best joke I've heard all year".

"Of couse they would!' Sorano said screaming at her."Lucy is beautiful. She has amazing hair, the best figure, and she's super pretty. Yukino is pretty, charming, and has the cutest eyes ever. They are both super athletic and are maturing like goddesses".

Lisanna pressed her lips into a thin line and grabbed Sorano by her hair,"Listen you dumb bitch. Unless you want little miss brace face and the reincarnation of Fat Albert to destroy our image I suggest you keep all of these great ideas to yourself. Besides it's not like Natsu and Sting want them to be there. They asked us".

Sorano glared at Lisanna as she gave her a swift punch in her boob,"The next time you touch me or even talk smack about my best friends I swear on my parents' grave I will decapitate you. And besides I would never go out with Sting. Yukino has been talking about how she's been crushing on him for the past month. And Lucy has been talking about Natsu, how evil can you get to date our best friends' crushes? You're acting like a witch and I hate this side of you".

As Sorano began to walk away towards Lucy and Yukino, Lisanna looked up from her hunched position and called after her.
"So that's how it's going to be for the rest of your life huh? Following the two of them around for the rest of your life, letting them tell you they have crushes on hot boys and then you decide to let them have faraway crushes on those boys forever? You'll never get anywhere acting like that Sora. I get you! I want what's I best for you. What's best for us! And we need to get rid of the dead weight. Natsu and Sting don't need Lucy and Yukino following us everywhere when they want to be with us. Not them. So what do you say Sora?"

Sorano watched Lisanna thinking long and hard about what she said.
"I don't care for popularity. I don't care for boys. If I can't have my family and my friends then I'm out".

As she began to walk away once more Lisanna laughed and ran in front of her path,"I'm not too sure. I think you might want to reconsider that decision Sora".

Lisanna shoved a red book into her face and Sorano gasped. She reached out for it and Lisanna hid it. "Ah ah ah. I don't think so. Little miss Sora has a lot of secrets and she keeps them hidden in her little blood book".

"GIVE ME BACK MY BOOK LISANNA!" She screamed at her. "NO!" Lisanna screeched back into her face. "If you don't want everything in this book to get out to the entire school I suggest you dump those two crap heaps and get ready for our dates tonight", Lisanna sneered.
     As she began to walk away Lisanna turned around again.
"By the way Sora", Lisanna said. "Kick that pathetic little nuisance you call your sister out of your house by the end of next week. I'm moving in. My sister doesn't want me to date and it's not like I can't live without her anyway".

Sorano was crying at this time and she felt her magical core bubbling inside her,"You can threaten me and hang things over my head. You can destroy my self esteem and force me to turn against my friends. But I swear I won't let you make me hurt my sister!"

Lisanna chuckled as she opened the book to a creased page and looked up at Sorano with squinted eyes,"Are you sure? Cause I think that little Yukino would love to know what REALLY happened to mommy and daddy".

Sorano dropped to her knees and slapped herself in the head multiple times,"Stupid. Stupid. Stupid!!! Why would I even write things like that in a book!!??"

Lisanna shrugged as she began walking away,"Oh yeah and Sora? I expect to see a sexy slim figure at the end of the year. Not that weird pudgy body that has taken over. Also stop eating junk food, you'll switch to a vegetarian lifestyle and you'll eat meat when I say so. And start coming with me when I shop for clothes. I don't want Sting looking at you and all he sees is Bart Simpsons face on your shirt".

As Lisanna blew a kiss to Sorano. She looked up and saw Lucy and Yukino waving at them to come over. Lisanna flipped them the middle finger and they looked confused as they turned towards Sorano.

Sorano ran to the locker and locked herself in a bathroom stall. "Oh mom!", she cried out. "What have I done?"

*FLASHBACK OVER*

Sorano laughed to herself as she looked up to the ceiling with tears stinging her eyes,"I guess...this locker room has always been my safe place huh?"

  She stood up and wiped her tears before dusting herself off. She punched the code for her locker and grabbed a bag of chips from it. She made space for her butt and hopped up into her locker and sat in there. She chomped her chips as loud as she wanted because she was alone. Those times when she was alone she could think to herself without having to hear Lisanna's nagging voice reminding her of how fat she is or chipping her heart away when she is forced to insult her own flesh and blood. In her head she laughs when Lucy or Yukino roasts Lisanna, she cringes when Lisanna tries to throw an insult. And she internally cries when she hears Yukino rant to Lucy about how much hatred she holds in her heart because of them.

Sorano sighed as she stuffed her hand back in her chip bag and it was empty. She hopped out of her locker and entered the bathroom. She threw the chip bag in the trash and looked up at herself in the mirror and yelled in horror before laughing. Mascara stained her milky white skin, her eyes were red from crying, and her foundation was all over her sweater sleeves from wiping her face too much.

Sorano looked down at her feet and saw the shoes Lisanna had bought for her explaining to her they were stylish.

  "Ha ha ha. Stylish my ass", Sorano uttered before taking them off and throwing them in the trash.

Sorano wiped under her eyes only making herself look worse.

   "Wow. I look like utter crap!" She shouted.

  "Don't you always?" A voice said.

  Sorano screamed and watched in surprise as Yukino walked out the bathroom with her hands buried deep in the pockets of her oversized sweater looking Sorano with a blank face.
  Sorano could never actually look at Yukino directly since the eighth grade and now for some reason she felt more confident to do it.

   She admired Yukino curvaceous body, she glanced at her boobs to her face and tears began to form again. She yanked her sweater down to her wrists as she dropped to her knees and began to sob. Yukino still towered over her and her stoic expression soon turned to a sad one.

  "Why are you crying...Sora?"

   Sorano took time to peek up from her sleeves and watched her sister in surprise.

  "...Sora...?" She asked uncertainly hoping she hadn't misheard her on accident.

  Yukino smiled at her and got on her knees and the two of them began to cry.

  "Oh Y-y-yuki!! I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so sorry. Lisanna forced me and and and--!"

  "I know Sora...I know", Yukino said burying her head in her sisters chest.

  "Yukino!" Sorano said grabbing her by her shoulders. "You've gotta believe me! I never meant to hurt you! I-I".

  "It's ok love", Yukino said embracing her sister once more. "You need to work on your flash backing though. You said everything out loud between your crying. And I'm glad to see that you hate those heels as much as we do!"

  Sorano cried into her sisters head holding her tightly in her arms until she shrieked in realization and stood up pacing around.
  "You can't be with Sting tonight!" Sorano whispered to Yukino as she looked under the stalls and in the shower area to see if any of their minions were hiding anywhere.

  Yukino wiped her eyes,"Why can't I be with Sti--?"

   "SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Sorano scream whispered at her and she covered her mouth mumbling apologies.
   Sorano looked around once once more before dragging her into a shower stall.
  "I have to warn you and Lucy! Lisanna is planning to do something awful tonight in order to ruin your relationships!" She whispered frantically.

  "What?" Yukino asked surprised and Sorano shushed her once more.
"They could be lurking around and at any chance they'd love to run back to Lisanna and report her of my blasphemy. And before you even ask who I'm talking about I'm talking about the min--".

"Shhhhhhhhhh!!!"Yukino said while pressing her finger against her lips. Sorano nodded and they stood there in silence as they heard footsteps going up and down the locker room.

"I should punish you for this shit stunt you pulled!" Lisanna screeched from the other side of the locker room.

Sorano quickly pulled the main shower door closed and locked it. They both creeped to the sides of the doors and listened.

"We're sorry Lisanna senpai!" Many girls yelled.

"It's all Kawasaki's fault!" One girl spoke up.

"I'm sorry Miss Lisanna!" Kawasaki said. "But I could've sworn I saw Sorano-sama come into the locker room. And then Yukino went right in after her!"

"Wait a minute..." Lisanna said cautiously. Yukino and Sorano quieted their breathing as Lisanna's clip clopping shoes approached the bathroom.

A rumble of feet followed behind her and she screamed once more,"Don't follow me!! Disperse!!"

Lisanna gasped as she picked up Sorano's shoes and yelled out to her minions,"LADIES! CHECK IF SORA HAS HER SECOND PAIR OF HEELS IN HER LOCKER!"

  "THEY'RE IN THERE MISS LISANNA!!" They yelled back.

  "Okay. So her alibi checks out. Which means she is having sex with that teacher. Which means KAWASAKI YOU'LL BE HEAVILY PUNISHED!" She yelled angrily shuffling out of the bathroom.

Thunderous feet and high pitched screams slowly faded out of the bathroom. Sorano breathed out heavily,"That was a close one".

  Yukino fished her phone out of her pocket and began texting Lucy.

Yukino: 'LUCY! GIRLS LOCKER ROOM! MEET US IN THE SHOWER AREA NOW!'

Lucy: I got you fam

Lucy: ...

Lucy: Wait wait. Did you say us? Bro I'm not gonna be a part of no mile high in the sky club. That's not who I am.

Yukino: WHAT KIND OF WEIRD SHIT GOES THROUGH YOUR HEAD?!! JUST RUN HERE! CODE ROSE GOLD MAN!'

Lucy: 'CODE ROSE GOLD?!! I'LL BE THERE IN A SEC'

Sorano stood there awkwardly,"Texting Lucy?"

"Yeah", Yukino said putting her phone back into her pocket. "She should be here in a--"

*BAM*

Lucy gave the shower door one kick and it flew open. She ran to Yukino frantically,"What's the matter?! Where's the code rose golllllllllll..."

  Her voice trailed off at the sight of Sorano. Her eyes scanned her face examining her dripping and she turned to face Yukino and examined her puffy eyes.
  "What's going on here?" She asked cautiously inching her left foot backward into a half fighting stance.

  "You won the bet. I have 10,000 jewels for you", Yukino said with a smile.
  "What bet?" Lucy asked still watching Sorano.

      "Don't you remember?" Yukino asked.

  "Clearly not if I asked you what you're talking about", Lucy said with an eye roll.

  "Well...", Yukino started.

                                 *flashack*

"Hey boogerhead! Hey thunderdome!" Lisanna said with a laugh as she and Yukino approached Lucy and Yukino.

"Hey Lis! Hey Yuki!" Lucy said with a smile. Yukino gave her a slap on her arm and Lucy yelped . "Shut up Lucy! Those two turned against us and they're going out with the guys that we like. They don't deserve anything!"

Yukino looked up at her sister in fury,"Anything you have to say sis?" She sneered.

Sorano looked at her sister with glossy eyes and parted her lips to speak and yet no words came from her mouth. Yukino scoffed, "You don't want to stay in our 'shadow' and yet you can't seem to speak for yourself".

    Lisanna pursed her lips and slowly leaned over to Yukino and whispered," Say something before an ugly red duckling shows it's head".

  Sorano took a deep breath, " Oh! S-s-sorry Yuki-- I mean Yukino. I said Yukino. Yeah. Um. I just didn't want to bother myself with speaking to someone with your physique. It's embarrassing really".

Yukino watched Sorano in disbelief and Lisanna rolled her eyes,"Sora let's go".

As the two of them walked away, Yukino groaned as she ran her hand through her hair,"Jeez...It's kind of funny how it felt like just yesterday we were laughing it up with those two. Now they're snobbish, backstabbing pricks who need to go fu--"

  Lucy blocked her friends mouth and shook her head with a smile,"I'm sure this is a just a phase. Maybe someday in the future, at least one of them will come back to us".

  Yukino took Lucy's hand off her mouth and laughed,"I'm willing to bet 10,000 jewel just to prove you wrong. If one of them doesn't come back to us by the time it's senior year of high school you better pay up".

                            They shook hands.

                          "Deal!" Lucy agreed.

                        *flashback over*

      "Huh...", Lucy said watching Sorano. "You're back?"

    Sorano nodded and Lucy walked to her and hugged her tightly. "But why were you acting like that? Why did you just decide to go all bitch crazy on us?"

   "To make a long story short. Lisanna had been holding something over her head for years and now she can't just sit back and watch our love lives be destroyed", Yukino explained. "That's why tonight...we're going to go steal that book back!"

  "Uhh sorry to ruin this special moment for all us. But Yukino tonight is when you know. We get it on!" Lucy shimmying.

   Sorano grabbed Lucy's shoulders,"That's what I mean Lucy! You can't 'get it on' with Natsu tonight. L--"

  *BBBBBBRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGG*

   "Oh crap! That's the bell. We gotta go Yukino!" Lucy said frantically grabbing her wrist. "It's been amazing catching up with you babes but Ms. Moonyoung and Ms. Ingui are expecting us in the gym right now!"

   "Not trying to ruin our moment again. But you guys know you still have to pretend you hate me right?" Sorano said with a frown.

  Lucy and Yukino looked at each other and nodded sadly and ran back once again to hug her and they ran out.

  Sorano nodded and leaned back against the wall. "And I have to pretend like I still care about Lisanna and her bullshit. Great! I'm going to figure what she's planning so I can stop her before it's too late!"

  As she headed out the bathroom she looked at her shoes in the garbage and sighed before grabbing them and putting them on.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

   Lucy and Yukino ran down the hallways at full speed hoping to make it to the gym in good timing.

  "We're so sorry we're late! Please please please, forgive us and train us!" They yelled as bowed to their teachers.

  "It's alright girls. You're only a few seconds late. Well let it slide", Ms. Ingui said with a smile. "Today I'm going to focus on you Lucy. Yukino you go with Ms. Moonyoung".

The girls trained hard. The teachers taught them how to channel their magic to make weapons. They trained hard to learn how to prevent your mana from running out and how to replenish it fast.

When they finished it was the end of the day. Lucy ran out of the gym leaving Yukino behind.

"Crap!" She said looking around as she saw that Lucy was no longer in her sights.

Yukino: MAYDAY‼️ MAYDAY‼️ MAYDAY‼️

Sorano: WHAT'S THE MATTER YUKINO⁉️

Yukino: LUCY'S GONE‼️ IT'S THE END OF THE DAY AND SHE'S SUPPOSED TO MEET UP WITH NATSU TONIGHT‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Sorano: I'M ON MY WAY‼️

Yukino paced back and forth around the gym before the doors were burst open and Sorano ran through.

  "Where did you last see her?" Sorano asked frantically.

Yukino looked at her as if she was an idiot,"I last saw her heading to the center of the earth", she said sarcastically.

Sorano rolled her eyes,"Now is not the time to be sarcastic!"

      "Well obviously the last place I saw her was in the gym with me training".

"Let's head down the hallway and ask around", Sorano said reaching out for her hand.

  Yukino frowned as she pulled her hand away to Sorano's surprise. "We can't be seen together remember? We'd blow our attempt to stop her from hurting Lucy if she knew we were together".

  Sorano dropped her hand and sighed remembering the people who kept her from spending time with her sister.
  "You're right. I'll find Lisanna and try to figure out her plan and stall her. You find Lucy".

  Yukino nodded her head and sighed as she hugged Sorano. "Good luck sis", she said breathing out heavily into the crook of her neck.

                             "You too".

   As they went their separate ways Yukino spammed Lucy with calls, texts, voicemails, facetime calls, etcetera. She asked around if anyone had seen Lucy and they all have the same disappointing answers...no. She paced back and forth as she thought about what was really happening.

  'Can I really trust Sora? I mean it's kind of weird for me to just forgive someone whose made my life such a living hell only to find it she's been doing it for me. But preventing me and Lucy from getting with Sting and Natsu...but...I know I can't cry on cue like that. And want to reconcile. Screw it. I'll ask her'.

   As Yukino looked up she saw blonde hair whipping around the corner. She gasped and began to sprint after her.
   "LUCY! LUCY!" She called out as she made a sharp turn at the corner.
   As she got closer, slowed only to frown at the sight of Mavis using the vending machine. She sighed heavily causing Mavis to turn her head to face her.

  "Not to pleased to see me huh?" She said while giggling only to have Yukino rub her neck in embarrassment.

  "No need to be embarrassed Yukino. I was just messing with you. But I do assume you're looking for Lucy", she asked earning a nod from Yukino.

   "I don't believe she's left the building yet. She popped in my office in a hurry to check what extra curricular activities she has before she leaves. She had dance, basketball, and her kickboxing class. Maybe you can catch at one of those places".

          Yukino smiled big,"Thanks a bunch Ms. Mavis. You're a lifesaver".

Mavis returned her smile and as Yukino ran away she immediately began questioning her actions.

          'Is Yukino trying to find Lucy to fight her?'

   As she thought about it some more she shrugged and continued to type in the number for the vending machine.

Yukino ran to the other side of the school as she burst through the dance studio. Everyone stopped to look at her.

"Ms. Marabelle! Have you seen Lucy?!"

"I did Yukino. She dropped by about 20 minutes ago to get the recording of next weeks routine for the assembly. She left in a hurry though. From what I heard I'd be in a hurry too", she ended with a wink and all the kids began to laugh.

Yukino forces a laugh and ran out the room. As she ran and turned a corner she ran into a wall. Oh wait... it's Sting!

"Sting!", she said beaming up at him and he gave her a kiss on the nose.
"What's crack-a-lackin baby?" He said smiling at her. Yukino wrapped her arms around his torso and smiled into his chest,"Nothing much just you know running around the hallways. How about you?"

"Look...Yukino... we got to talk. I hope I don't bum you out", he said awkwardly taking deep breaths.
"Talk to me Sting", she said looking up at him with worried eyes.
"I don't think I want to...you know...mate with you tonight. It's just that it was supposed to be a surprise and magical evening just the two of us. And now it's a good gossip topic for chatty Cathy's to talk about".

Yukino looked up at him with loving eyes,"Aww Sting. I'm not disappointed in you. I'm really happy you want it to be special when it happens. Sting whenever the time is right just know I'll be ready when you are".

Sting smiled down at her and kissed her tenderly on her lips,"Thank you love. And tonight I'll make it up to you. How about dinner at Cana's? My treat".

"Of course. I'll meet you at 9:30. My doorstep?" Yukino asked looking up at him still.

"I'll be counting down the seconds until I see you again baby girl", he said leaving a lasting kiss on her lips before walking away backwards and blowing her a kiss and spinning around the corner. He had left her feeling weak in the knees as she smiled to herself and twirled and leaped down the hallway.

She sighed contently before almost choking on her happiness as she remembered she had a best friend who needed her help. She sprinted as quickly as she could to the gym and burst through the door while looking around frantically for Lucy.

"Hey Yukino!" Mira said as she waved her over.
"Hey Mira. Have you seen Lucy? She was at basketball practice today right?"

"Yeah. She came in here super fast and almost destroyed all of the starters. She left like five or seven minutes ago. If you see her remind her of the game".

"Ok. Bye Mira!" She said as she sprinted out of the room.

She checked the time on her phone and it was already 7:30. She took a deep breath and kept running. As she ran into the kickboxing class, she felt something coming towards her and she immediately grabbed it. She sharply turned her head and she saw a scared girl whose ankle she was grabbing.

"Oh crap", she said as she dropped her foot. "I'm so sorry I thought you were. I mean attacking me and. I'm sorry", her frightened face turned into a warm one as she giggled and continued her her training. Yukino looked around until she saw blonde hair. She stared long and hard at her until she nodded to herself.

'There she is. But she doesn't look like she's in hurry...', she thought as she slowly approached her. Yukino smirked as she creeped up on her and yanked her hair backwards only to find the full head of hair in her hand. She looked up and gaped at the sight of another girl with a wig cap on her head blushing like crazy.

"Oh my Mavis. Oh my Mavis. I'm so so so sorry", she said squatting there awkwardly as she stretched her arm out with the wig in her hand. She slowly reached for it only to realize that no one had seen her. So she quickly ran to the bathroom with it pressed against her head.

"Yukino...", a voice said sternly sending shivers down her spine. "Hey Ms. Ingui. How's it going nice weather. Yeah me too. Um is Lucy here? Yeah. Um. I didn't think so. Bye love you".

   Yukino ran out of the room as fast as she could and was panting heavily. All of a sudden Sorano came out of nowhere and grabbed Yukino's hand pulling her into an empty classroom.

     "Alright. I have good news and bad news. Um good news is that I found Lisanna and I followed her everywhere. Bad news is that I had eyes on her until she drove off in her car and left me. Did you find Lucy?" Sorano asked.

   "I searched for her in every after school activity she had today. And everyone said she only stayed there for a little bit and left quickly. There's a chance she's still here. But there's a greater chance she's already gone".

  As they looked through the window longingly and they immediately saw the free ice cream sign and a stand and looked at each other with ideas in their heads.

  "SHE'S AT THE ICE CREAM STAND!" They yelled at each other before running through the door and heading downstairs. They looked around through the crowd of people and gasped as soon as they saw Lucy driving away from the school.

  They ran as fast as they could but they would never catch her. Yukino was startled as her pocket was buzzing.

   "This better be good cause I'm in the middle of something!" She yelled into the phone.

"Well damn Yukino. You called and texted me but I guess it wasn't important. Anyway see you later! My phone will be off. Have fun tonight. Hehe".

"Crap! Lucy??!!! Are you still there?"

*no response*

   "DAMN!" Yukino screamed into the phone frightening everyone around her.

   "What?! What?!" Sorano asked her worried as she pulled her to a side.
  "I had Lucy on the phone. And I had her! Damnit Sorano! How could I've been so dumb?! She's going to get hurt so badly if we don't stop that wench!" Yukino said slamming her palms into her forehead.

  "It's ok Yukino. Everything will be ok!" She said comfortingly rubbing her arms.

   "NO!" Yukino yelled at her throwing her hands down. "I'm so sorry if you hate my crappy attitude but, there's nothing you can do about it. You know... this this is all your fault!" She said pointing an accusing finger at her causing a disappointed look on her face.

   "You and your crap! You've lived with Lisanna for over 6 years and you never thought of taking it back! You're so damn pathetic! And all of a sudden...all the beating up and the pathetic insults and destroying everyone else's lives and all of a sudden Lisanna devises a plan to destroy our relationships and all of a sudden you just decide to help us out? I don't think so!"

  Sorano looked up at her as she paced around until she opened her mouth again,"And I'm so freaking surprised as to how I let you back into by life so quickly! Damn Sorano how can I even trust you! How do I know this isn't a part Lisanna's shit plan and you're joshing me only to rip my wellbeing into shreds? Huh? HUH?!" She kept shouting only to have Sorano hug her and Yukino dropped her body into her sisters embrace.

"I get it. I get it ok. You're scared. Lucy has been the only one who has been there for you and all of a sudden I waltz back into your life warning you that Lisanna has something evil planned. And you know what I don't even care that you don't believe me. All I want to do is help you protect Lucy. Ok?"

   Yukino nodded and suddenly she began face palming herself until Sorano intervened by grabbing her arm. "What's the matter?" She asked.

    "I just realized. Instead of finding Lucy we should've been looking for FREAKING NATSU DRAGNEEL AND PREVENT HIS HUMPING ASS FROM BEING WITH LUCY TONIGHT!" She yelled as she punched the brick wall only to press her lips in a thin line and suck back up the tears begging to come out.

  "Let's roll. Now". Sorano said suddenly taking the lead as she strolled over to her car and the two of them hopped in.

  "Step on it". Yukino said buckling her seatbelt.

  The two drove in silence as they sped down the street and pulled into the highway only to be greeted by traffic.

"DAMMIT!" They screamed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Lucy smiled to herself as she poured some body wash. She hummed the lyrics to Rihanna's Sex With Me as she spent over 20 minutes in the shower. And she scrubbed and washed and shaved. She sat on her bed as she whipped out her blow dryer, a comb, and a brush as she detangled and dried her hair until it was smooth, wavy, and bouncy. She strutted over to her mirror as she summoned Virgo.

  "Hello Princess", Virgo said with a bow. "How will I be punished today?"

  Lucy smiled to herself as she blushed a little,"I think we should be thinking about how I'm gonna be punished ViVi", she said.

  Virgo looked at Lucy as if she were mad until her eyes opened in shock,"YOU'RE HAVE SEX WITH MASTER NATS--". Virgo began to say quite loudly until Lucy blocked her mouth and sighed.

  "Mhmmmm. And I need you to help me pick an outfit for tonight!" She said standing up straight popping her boobs out.

Virgo grabbed Lucy's towel and ripped it off her body. Lucy was too high on dreams to even notice.

  "Which sweatpants will be the most comfortable for your evening of pleasure Princess?" Virgo asked as a variety of of joggers and baggy sweatpants appeared.

    Lucy shook her head and Virgo was shocked,"You would like to wear lingerie for the evening of love Princess?"
As Lucy nodded Virgo began to tear up,"They grow up so fast!"

  Virgo grabbed Lucy hips and spun her into a human tornado. She threw in a robe and Lucy came out looking like this.

Lucy rested back on her bedside as she bit her lip and smiled. "Princess! You look amazing!" Virgo said jumping up and down as she clapped.

  "Thank you so much Virgo", Lucy said with a smile. 

  "Knock 'em dead Princess!" She screamed as she disappeared in puff of smoke. 

"Hey there dragonslayer", she said seductively to herself as she flipped her hair over her shoulder and pouted.
  "You've been such a good boy that I'll let you open a special gate", she said reaching for the ribbon holding her outfit together.

  "The gate to my panties!" She bellowed laughing to herself as she noticed Virgo hadn't even given her anything to wear under.

  She pulled them from out of her drawer and put a panty and a bra on. She sat in front of her mirror for a while just building her self confidence up. Before she heard a door slam. She got up and put her slides on as she almost glided down the stairs. She opened the door and peeped out and gasped at she what she saw in her gaze.

   There she saw a trail of white, pink, red, and yellow roses leading to the front step of Natsu's house. Candles were lined up around the trail that spelled out L. Lucy blushed as she closed her from door behind her and began to walk across.

             (Just in case you didn't get the visual)

  She giggled as she passed a couple of footprints.

  'What a clumsy boyfriend I have'. She pushed the door open and close it behind her. She breathed out as her feet was greeted by the same trail but some of the candles were blown out.  

  She became scared as turned around and reached for the door handle but quickly composed herself as she thought her sudden fear was because of the big step they were taking in their relationship. She stepped out of her shoes and breathed out. She dropped her hand from the door handle as she quickly walked in front of the shut window and untied her kimono belt and presented herself out there. She smiled at her body she had no longer found a reason to cover herself up. Natsu made her feel special. Made her feel beautiful. He inhaled all of her insecurities and took them hand in hand. He always put her first. Never had he ever made goggly eyes at another girl unless she counted herself.

Natsu would never cheat on her. She was more than willing to take their relationship to the next step. As she ran up the stairs she heard mumbling and noises and she slowed down a little bit.
   "Huh", she whispered to herself. "I guess he's prepping himself too". After thinking about it she giggled and smiled as she lightly placed her hand on the door knob.

She opened the door with a smile on her face only to have the smile stuck on her face as her body began to shut down.

  There laid Natsu on top of Lisanna who were sharing a sensual kiss.

Sensual...

Sensual.

Sensual.

The one word. The three syllables. The seven letters that broke her heart. The kiss was returned. Lisanna had planned to ruin their relationship but what she hadn't planned was for him to kiss back. For him not to push her away. For her to get the satisfaction that she won and she prevented them from getting back together. AND she got herself a little boy toy until her man came back from his trip abroad. She won. Lucy stood there without making a single noise. Maybe Natsu would eventually push her away. Maybe he'd remember he had a girlfriend who loves him very much and was about to take the next step in their relationship with him.

Maybe just maybe.

Maybe. A word with many meanings. If you ask your mom for something and she says maybe while she isn't paying attention to you that almost certainly means no. Your mom tells you to ask your dad that almost always means no. If you're being looked at with the most loving look of all time it means yes. Yes. YES. YESSS!!!

But this isn't what was happening. This maybe was a solid shitty no. Natsu wasn't gonna stop the the kiss. And while we're at it let's answer another couple of maybe definitely no questions while we're at it.

No. This isn't gonna end well.

No. Lisanna will never stop feeding off the misery of others.

Well. In this case yes. Lisanna saw Lucy. She gave her a side eye glance and Lucy saw it too. She deepened the kiss just to push her buttons. The only problem was that her buttons couldn't be pushed as she saw the scene unfold in front of her. Her body had completely shut down.

Lisanna saw Lucy's face and she smirked into the kiss as she suddenly pretended to push Natsu away.

  Lisanna screamed,"GET OFF OF ME NATSU!" As she kneed him where the sun doesn't shine and hopped off of his bed.
   Lucy stood there in complete shock as Lisanna and Natsu finally noticed that Lucy was there. All color drained from Natsu's face. "L-Luce", he whispered.

  Her body finally restarted again and this time she was furious. As she tied her belt together covering herself up again she looked Natsu dead in the eyes. "Do. Not. Fucking. Call. Me. That".

  As soon as Lucy looked at Lisanna she stalked over to her and raised a fist. Lisanna cowered in fear and with all of Lucy's might she couldn't find one piece of her that was angry at Lisanna. She pitied her. The fact that this girl took her precious time to plan her downfall. While she has a boyfriend and her acting is all kinds of terrible. She lowered her fist and sighed.

      "I can't even. I can't fucking even right now".

As she made her way across the room to Natsu she stepped on a piece of paper. She bent down and picked it up. Her heart was suddenly swept into a pile and slowly put back together one by one.

      "As long as you have at least one person caring for you, life isn't a waste. So when things go wrong and you feel like quitting, please remember you've still got us. And if we don't adore you and if we don't cherish you, then we surely don't deserve you. You came into our lives when all was dark, but you gave us the light and we found our way. Together. Life without either of you is truly unthinkable. So can you do us the honor of allowing us to take you out on our official first day. Step out your home at approximately 6 o'clock and our journey of together shall begin"
           -Love Natsu and Sting

Lisanna stepped from behind her and gushed,"Natsu you still kept the note from our first double date together. Awww!" She purred and Lucy was fed up.

   "I'm fucking done", she said as she threw the paper aside and tried to show no emotion and walk away without looking back.

  "Wait Lucy...", Nastu said grabbing her wrist. "It's not what it looks like...".

  "Oh shit! He speaks!" She said in complete horror as she tried to yank her wrist from his grip. "You know what I don't understand Natsu is why. If it isn't what it looks like tell me why Lisanna was the one to fly you off of her. Did her 'ruining our relationship plan' back fire cause you actually wanted to to sleep with her. I'm fucking disappointed in you", she said as tears brimmed her eyes.

   "Look Luce...you came in at the wrong time you were supposed to come later. I-i didn't mean for you see that. It's not what it looks like I swear! I only love you".

Lucy looked at him in disbelief,"Are you serious?! I came in at the wrong time. You didn't mean for me to see that?! This is just gold! Well let me apologize. I didn't mean to walk in on you cheating. I trusted you! I did a whole thing where I confessed and told you I was glad you weren't like the rest and you're actually standing here telling me I was supposed to come later! I FUCKING HATE YOU NATSU DRAGNEEL!" She screamed in his face with tears pouring down her cheeks.

As she whipped around Natsu grabbed her and hugged her. Tears began to roll down his cheeks,"Lucy she tricked me. I swear I only did all of this for you Luce. I love you".

"Get off me!" She sobbed as she pushed him away with all her might causing her to stumble back and fall on her butt. Lisanna began to laugh and Natsu turned around to look at her unamused,"I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE STILL HERE! GET THE HELL OUT YOU FUCKING NUISANCE! I WISH I NEVER BELIEVED YOU AND YOUR SHIT! OUT NOW!"

You didn't have to tell Lisanna twice as she ran as fast as she could out of the room. The two of them stayed there in silence until Lucy got up and tried to walk away but Natsu ran to her and grabbed her and hugged her. She banged her hands on his chest as she screamed and shouted her frustrations at him.

She suddenly gave into his hug and kept on crying. He lifted up her chin and kissed her. She jumped back and wiped her eyes.

"I hugged you! Dammit I didn't forgive you Natsu! What is it that Lisanna had held over you that couldn't have told me when I was in denial?!"

  Natsu looked down and Lucy raised her head a little higher already knowing his answer.
   She balled her hands into fists and looked down at them and there she saw the promise ring Natsu had given her. A single tear dropped from her eye onto the hand the ring is on. She scrunched her face up and yanked the ring off of her finger.

  "TAKE YOUR DUMBASS PROMISE RING BACK YOU BOZO! MAYBE YOU CAN GIVE THAT TO LISANNA!" She said as she threw it at his face and ran out the door and slammed it.

  He bent down to pick up the ring and admired it in his palm. He examined the engravings on the stone of it. 'Natsu and Lucy. Together forever'.
Tears welled up in his eyes and he pressed his fist against his face.

  "LUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCYYYYYYYY!" He roared as he flung himself onto his bed and balled himself up into a fetal position.

   As Lucy reached the bottom of the stairs she stopped to look back up the staircase as she heard Natsu yell her name. She put her foot on the first step and squeezed her hand on the doorknob and ran out as fast as she could. Maybe. Just maybe. If she ran fast enough, she could fight the temptation to look back. The temptation forgive him. The tempting feeling of continuing with their night of togetherness. She crossed the lawn as fast as she could. Suddenly a boom of thunder frightened her and rain came pouring down. She looked down at her feet and sighed as she wiggled her toes in the now wet grass.

"This isn't my fucking day!" She shouted and she looked up to the sky and screamed. Natsu heard her and roared in response. The ex couple screamed into the night for what seemed like forever. Yukino heard roaring in the distance as they waited at the gate of their neighborhood.

"Don't tell me...", Sorano whispered. Yukino's eyes bulged out of her head as she slammed her foot on the gas pedal. The two girls watched as they sped down the street. Yukino's heart dropped as she Lucy crying on the front lawn of their house.

She heard Natsu screaming Lucy's name and Lucy looked up and screamed in response and ran inside of the house.

Sorano watched the scene unfold in front of her,"What did she do...?" She asked horrified.

Yukino looked around frantically until her landed on Lisanna walking out of a store humming to herself as she opened up her umbrella.
"That fucking witch!", she bellowed scaring Sorano. "I'LL KILL HER!"

Yukino hopped out the car with a dead look in her eyes as Sorano reclined the chair and slowly peeked up to see Yukino running to Lisanna.

"Crap! Yukino!!" Sorano yelled as she struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt and hopped out of the car and tried to catch up to her.

"Oh hey wombat", Lisanna said grinning at her but Yukino didn't respond. She kept running to her.
"Got no comeback boob?" She asked stopping to watch Yukino.

Yukino didn't waste no time to grab her by her hair and yank her towards her and fling her into the wall.

"Crap!" Lisanna yelled in pain as she looked up at Yukino annoyed. "What the hell is up Yuki?!"

"Your fucking body", she said before grabbing Lisanna and throwing her up in the air. Lisanna screamed as she quickly used her animal soul powers and turning her arms into bird wings and floating down. "You really don't wanna mess with me Yukino. I'm a lot stronger than you look".

"Right...because that makes so much sense", Yukino spat at her getting pissed off by just looking at her.

Sorano ran up to Yukino and stood in between them,"Stop it! Both of you!"

"Ahhh. Woman of the hour. Sorano beat up your sister for me so we can head on back".

"I'm not beating up Yukino, Lisanna. I'm done being the pawn in your little game", Sorano said breathing out before watching her with dead eyes.
Lisanna smirked,"Well Sora let's let Yukino know how Mommy and Daddy died shall we?". As Lisanna whipped out the red book, Yukino's glare hardened as the book suddenly was snatched away from her and put in Yukino's possession.

"Manipulate this Lis", Yukino tightened her grip on the book and it disappeared and Lisanna's jaw dropped.
"Now can I get back to her annihilation or is there gonna be another interruption?"

"Yukino...", she pleaded. "I get it. She hurt Lucy. But who really needs us right now. Our crying friend or this lousy bimbo who's just gonna keep stirring you up until she can sue you for assaulting her".

Yukino stopped for a second and reminisced on what she saw before. Lucy was completely broken. She couldn't even run inside without her knees buckling under her weight. She needed her. Lisanna was completely irrelevant at this point. She wasn't worth it. She deserved it but, Lucy needed her more.

  Yukino sighed as she calmed down and watched Lisanna for a little longer before running across the street into the house. Sorano and Lisanna stood face to face in the rain.

   "You betrayed me Sora. Our minions will never forgive you. You're my best friend you can't leave me...", she said with a frown.

   Sorano turned her back to her and looked back,"Look Lisanna. You've spent most of your school time wanting us to be feared. You never realized how much you'd need me if I left you. Well I hope you enjoy your life Lisanna. You're really gonna be miserable".

  "Not as miserable as you'll be with those two bitches you're picking over me", Lisanna said screaming at her.

  Sorano had enough. She walked back to Lisanna and didn't waste no time to punch her as hard d as she could in the face. Lisanna flew back into a wall and she screamed as ran off into the night.

  "Wow. Years of manipulation ended in a few seconds", She whispered to herself as she ran across the street and the house. She bounded up the stairs and entered the room where she saw Lucy crying in Yukino's arms. Sorano covered her mouth as Lucy looked up at her. Her eyes were bloodshot red and mascara stained her cheeks and her lips were white.

  "Oh Lucy", she said running over to them and joining the hug. "I'm sorry...".

                          "I'm so so sorry".
