The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 49

•Lucy's POV•

I tried to wipe the mud off my face with one hand. When I took a step into this ranch, I didn't expect this! I could still feel the mud on my face and I began rubbing my face frantically trying to get it off. I only realized a few seconds later, that it made it worse.

   "Nice mud mustache Lucy!" Gray gave me a thumbs up. Ah Gray, nice princess underpants. I pointed at his underwear, and Gray instantly freaked out.

   "I swear I did not buy these!" Gray laughed nervously as he pulled up his black pants. Juvia and Lyon giggled as they both gave each other a fist pound. Those two were just as evil as Mira!

I glared at everyone, only because I don't know who threw the mud at me earlier. Though, I knew who it was whenwhen I heard the culprit laugh. Natsu had his arms wrapped around his stomach as he chuckled. Gajeel was laughing along with him.

   "I will win this mud fight!" I exclaimed at I triumphantly put my hands on my hips. All the boys except Romeo and Thomas laughed.

   "Why are you laughing?" I pouted as I stomped my foot. Gajeel and Natsu continued to laugh even more.

   "You're too cute Lucy." Natsu panted out as his giggles subsided. I bet if I looked in the mirror right now, I would be as red as a tomato. Curse Natsu and his smooth moves!

   "You two have messed with the wrong princess today!" I hissed as I creased t arms. Gajeel smirked as he stood up straight and stared at me. I could see everyone waiting for someone to make a move out of the corner of my eye.

   "What are you going to do Bunny Girl?" Gajeel raised a metal brow. That was a good question. I still had a proud grin on my face, no way would I show an unsure expression on my face. Gajeel clutched some mud in his hand.

   "I'm going to, uh.." I gulped and gathered some mid up from the ground then attempted to throw them at Gajeel, but all of them missed him. One did hit Natsu though. I gave him a silent 'sorry.' Gajeel's grin grew as he bent down to roll a ball of mud together.

   "Take that!" Levy yelled from behind him. Levy sprinted over to him and smashed some mud in his face. Levy grinned at me as she tried to run towards me. She soon slipped on the ground, she came sliding towards me.

   "Thanks Levy-chan." I giggled. I gave her a hand to help her up from the ground.

   "Anytime Lu-chan. Gajeel is my favorite to mess with." Levy winked. I could hear Gajeel groaning.

   "That was so unfair Levy!" Gajeel hissed as he rubbed the his face. As soon as I gave Levy a high five, a war of mud broke out. Levy left my side and went to attack Gajeel with more surprise attacks.

   "Surprise attack!" Levy cackled as she threw some mud at Lily. Lily growled a little as he went into full man cat mode. I was still horrified by that. I remember Natsu's words a long time ago in the closet.

"That cat isn't what it seems to be."

   "It's not a surprise attack if you yell it out!" Lily shouted as he chased Levy around.

   "Surprise attack!" Natsu yelled behind me. I turned around quickly, only to have mud thrown in my face. I wiped away the mud and leaned down to the ground. I shoveled a pile of mud in my hand.

   "You want to go at it Natsu?" I cackled evilly. Natsu showed me a huge grin. I aimed right for his face. I missed. I instead hit Laxus in the back of the head. I gulped as Laxus turned around slowly to meet me.
