The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 42

•Lucy's POV•

"Come on horse, go faster!" Happy exclaimed while pulling at my hair. I was quite annoyed. No, not only annoyed, I was pissed. I have been dealing with this for about twenty minutes now. Yes, I have been counting.

I was trying so hard not freak out. I wanted to scream! Calm down Lucy, be nice to the cat. I've been trying to be nice and all. How's it working out for me you ask? Quite good. But inside my head I'm just so mean.

"Lucy, stop, you're too funny." Natsu chuckled as he grabbed onto his sides. I snapped my head to the right. I sent a glare his way. My pain is no one's humor! I guess I was wrong though. Natsu was laughing even more now that I made that comment.

"I really can never get enough of you." Natsu's laughs subsided. Natsu always finds some way to make me blush. Damn him!

"Lucy." Happy called. I shook my head from my stupid thoughts. I looked up to Happy, well I tried to.

"What is it Happy?" I asked. Happy has such a serious face on right now. Did he have something important to say? Did Happy know anything about the witch?! No, I doubt he would.

"I thought you could move faster." Happy sneered. That was it. No more nice Lucy!

"That's it!" I hissed I shot my arms up to grab him. Happy moved way faster than I anticipated. Happy flew above me, sticking his tongue out.

"Not this time Lucy!" Happy giggled. I stopped walking. Natsu bumped into me, I just stood there. Happy shivered when I began to glare. Happy flew behind us towards Romeo and Wendy. Natsu nudged me a little, and that's when I began walking.

"I didn't think you could be so scary." A voice chuckled behind me. I quickly grabbed onto Natsu's hand. I shoved my other hand into my pocket, pulling out a weapon. I don't know what made me do this, I just wanted to be prepared. I turned around to see the one and only Lyon.

"I didn't realize you could get even scarier." Lyon laughed nervously with hands up. I sighed as I let go of Natsu's hand. Natsu stared at me with a curious look. Lyon laughed as he took a hand and pushed my 'weapon' down.

I looked down to my weapon of choice, you could guess what it was. I groaned allowed. What if I was in real battle! A friking spatula is so not going to save anyone. Instead of dropping the spatula, I just held onto it.

"Sorry about that, what do you need?" I asked as I glanced towards Lyon. Lyon, Natsu, and I began to walk at a steady pace. So we were basically in the middle of the group. Lyon shoved his hands in his pocket, he looked away. I could have sworn I saw a blush.

Natsu and I looked at each other with eyebrows raised. At the same time we looked back at Lyon, he was blushing! Why was he blushing? Was he embarrassed by something? Did him and Gray get into a fight?

"I wanted to tell you, I'm thankful for your advice." Lyon rushed out. A smile grew onto my face.

"I'm glad to help." I gave Lyon a thumbs up. Lyon smiled, he was blushing again. I turned to Natsu, he was giving me some sort of look. Natsu quickly grabbed onto my arm, switching spots with me.

So now Natsu was in the middle standing next to Lyon. Natsu smiled and let out a sigh of relief. Hmm, Natsu's acting pretty weird, and so is Lyon. Lyon glanced over to me, but not for too long. Natsu gave him a huge painful smile.

"Wha'cha thinking about Lyon?" Natsu asked and slowly began to shift towards me a little. Lyon's blush grew. What was he thinking about? Looks like Natsu and I are curious about the same thing. Actually, I feel some sort of weird vibe coming from Natsu. What is that? Irritation?
