"Thanks for helping me." Lucy said fixing her hair that was becoming messy.

"No problem. I owed you anyway." Loke smirked.

"You owed me? ... Since when?" Lucy raised her eyebrow.

"Well you bumped into me a while ago, and I started flirting with you. Eventually you lectured me, and it actually really helped me." Loke shrugged.

"People tell me that a lot. I don't even try! That's crazy?" Lucy giggled slightly.

"People tell me I'm a pervert a lot isn't that crazy?" Loke chuckled.

"It isn't. But you're not half as bad as you come off as." Lucy commented.

"Uhm?" Loke thought about it for a moment, and began to laugh softly.

"Oh my god. I'm doing it again." Lucy held her face with a gasp.

"It's hard I know." Loke teased.

"You smell like Caramel apples." Lucy told.

"I appreciate your compliment." Loke laughed.

Natsu, and the others felt nervousness as they darted out of the school like jets. They didn't care for the punishment. Natsu declined the idea of travel through vehicle so they had a long way to go. The rest angered by his choice, dreaded the long way to go, but went through it without a whine.

-

Loke, and Lucy arrived at the big mansion. He saw it in view, and his jaw dropped.

"That's your house?!" Lucy jumped not knowing they were there.

"Stop the car!" She yelled, and he immediately came to a stop. The engine still ran making a humming noise.

"What's wrong?" He asked with worry, and confusion.

"How close are we? To the house?" She asked with quick words.

"The gate is a tiny amount of miles away..." He informed looking at her lost eyes, "Why, what's wrong?"

"I'm j-just uh... I need to take a breather." She told him quietly. They sat in the running car for a moment before she took a deep relaxed breath. She smelt the air around her house. It smelt of cherry blossoms. Just like it did at where she came from. Erza's house. The park. The school. They smelt of cherry blossoms too. But this reeked of it.

"Better?" Loke asked.

"Yes...." Loke started the car, "Let's get this over with." She muttered.

-

Natsu ran the quickest. A cold wind rustled past him. A blizzard sound entered his ears.

"Luceeeee!" He called as he slammed open the mansion door.

"Oh my! Good evening Mr. Dragneel, you startled me." A maid exclaimed.

"Where's Lucy?!!" Natsu barked, he soon coughed, and asked politely, but with extreme worry, "Is she here...?"
