The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 32

•Lucy's POV•

   "Finally you two arrive!" Gray exclaimed over-dramatically as he flung a playing card at Natsu and I. I dodged it with ease and stared at my friends...except Natsu wasn't so lucky.

   "Gray you stupid ice bastard!" Natsu cried as he clung to his eye. I quickly went to his aid and pushed the card out of his eye. Natsu stared at me with only one eye open, the other was in pain apparently. It was hard not to laugh.

   "And this is why I love you Luce." Natsu sighed as he slouched into my touch. I laughed as I lightly went over his eye with my hand. Natsu winced a little but put on a smile.

   "Well please try to avoid flying cards next time." I giggled as I turned around to look at everyone. This is what they were doing with their time, playing a card game. Everyone was sitting on the ground in a circle, except Mira and Erza. I could feel a prick of annoyance at my brain, who knew what those two were doing!

Hopefully Erza and Mira weren't fighting, I certainly remember the last time they did that. I winced as I remembered the pain that was once there. Thank god for Natsu and his powers. It had left a scar but it wasn't that bad. Natsu somehow made it look like a dragon, which was amazing to see.

Natsu tried to act tough when telling me what happened. I knew he cried, Mira and Erza had the pleasure to tell me that. I remember Natsu's grin as he traced over my scar, he decided to give me a tickle attack afterwards. But that earned him a Lucy kick to the gut, but he still smiled like an idiot. I'm pretty sure my kicks hurt! I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard laughing.

Cana laughed as she sat next to Laxus, she pointed out she had won the game. Laxus pulled out a hand full of cards and chuckled to himself. He had actually won. Gray and Juvia were of course sitting next to each other.

Juvia giggled as she poked his nose, accidently squirting him in the face with water. But Gray didn't mind that much, surprisingly. Usually Gray would freak out at something like this. Gray smirked as he shot an ice cube down Juvia's dress from her chest. Okay that's enough of looking at them.

Wendy laid on Romeo's shoulder and was snoozing away, I could see pink dusted upon his cheeks. Carla sat back to back with Happy. Way to go Happy! Then there was Panther Lily was munching away on some fish as he watched Laxus and Cana play cards. Jellal sat there pouting. He did not look happy at all. I glanced over to Natsu who was next to me a minute ago, only to realize he wasn't there.

I was about to panic until I heard Gajeel's voice behind me. I turned around slowly to see Gajeel and Natsu knocking foreheads with each other, fighting about shrimps and bunnies? I sure did pick a keeper! My eye's wandered around to see where Levy was, she was now teasing Romeo.

   "You like Wendy don't you!" Levy teased while poking Romeo's cheeks, which were now red. Romeo pouted as he looked down at Wendy and blushed. He is so in love with her! I support their love a hundred percent! I put a thumbs up and winked at Levy, she winked back and went back to teasing Romeo.

   "I don't dislike her." Romeo grumbled. Levy clapped her hands and rubbed them together, sometimes she can be like a little Mira. Levy raised her hands above her head and pretended to be some kind of puppet master, I have some weird friends. But the weird ones are always the best.

   "I bet you want to kiss her!" Levy cackled while making kissy faces at Romeo. Romeo pulled back with a horrified look his face, but soon regretted it. Wendy began to fall onto the ground, but Romeo stepped in to action. Romeo sighed in relief as he laid Wendy's head onto his lap without her waking up.

I giggled to myself. Such young love! I sound a bit like Mira, which kind of scared me. Romeo looked at Wendy with such a peaceful look on his face. Romeo hesitantly put his hands into her hair, so romantic. I have no idea why but, looking at this makes me extremely happy.
