The sun shines brightly in all of the Heartfilia manor. The manor was enormous and a dark yet shimmering pink. Inside the manor a beautiful sunny yellow blonde hair girl was in her hot pink room with a canopy bed and expensive furniture sprawled about. Writing material laid on her desk, for she wished to be an author. She loved writing stories of all sorts. No one had really read them, not her mother Layla or her favorite maid Aquarius. She wishes that there was someone out there who would read them. But definitely not Natsu Dragneel her arranged fiancé.

To keep the Heartfilia line growing, Lucy had to be wed at eighteen. But Lucy didn't want to be! She just wanted to be like other girls who would go to school, hang out with friends and date boys before officially marrying them before even knowing them. All Lucy knew was that she didn't like Natsu one bit. He was too rowdy and crazy for her. She only actually knew him because of his father Igneel Dragneel having close business ties with her own mother so that the two wouldn't bicker over who was wealthier and who was definitely better.

Lucy sighs as she sits on her comfy golden painted chair that had a red cushion on it so she could sit at ease. She writes furiously her feelings out in her pink diary as she grunts. Her maid Aquarius walks in, her long sleaks of light blue hair that would reach her waist was pulled back into a ponytail that swayed back and forth. She wears her moderate maid black dress with white ruffles as she takes a look at the young Heartfilia scribbling away her thoughts and feelings. She eases a smile as she walks over to Lucy.

"Lady Lucy, are you drafting up a story again?" She asks as she hands Lucy a breakfast plate. Lucy glances at it as she sees one stack of three fluffy brown pancakes with a slab of yellow solid turning into liquid butter and sweet syrup drizzled around. Two juicy savory fat sticks of sausage are on the side as blueberries are the yummy berries that complete the whole breakfast. Lucy's mouth waters as her milk chocolate eyes lighten up, forgetting about all the marriage drama in an instant. "Thank you, Aquarius-San!" She smiles as Aquarius smiles and bows respectively.

Lucy grabs a fork and a knife and indulges into her pancakes first as her eyes slowly loom over to Aquarius. "Aquarius-San, where is my mom, if I may ask?" Lucy says through bites. "Well my lady, your mother had a meeting with Sir Igneel. She seemed to be busy." Aquarius says smiling as Lucy blinks. "Aquarius-San, didn't you have a date with your boyfriend, Scorpio today?" Lucy asks as she finishes the pancakes and moves on to the sausages. Aquarius nods as she makes Lucy's bed. "But I postponed our plans. My priority is you, Lady Lucy."

Lucy swallows away her tiny blueberries as she looks down, feeling bad for Aquarius. "Aquarius-San, I give you permission to go out on that date!" Lucy smiles as she says this. Aquarius' lenient eyes widen as she looks at Lucy, before her eyes narrow and quickly close as she sighs. "Lady Lucy, your mother entrusted me with you, and I have a great respect for her. She means a lot to me and I don't want to fail Layla." Aquarius says before smiling warmly. Lucy blinks before walking over to her beloved maid and protector. "Aquarius-San go now!"

Lucy smiles as she hugs Aquarius. "I give you permission, plus I have Virgo-San and Aries-San!" Lucy assures her as Aquarius sighs, a huge part of her wanting the date with Scorpio so badly. She huffs as she has already lost the battle to Lucy. "Fine! But if anything goes wrong! Don't hesitate to call me! I'll be back in a jiffy!" Aquarius says as she unties her ponytail as her hair slowly falls to her waist. Lucy smiles. "You should shower and change to a beautiful dress!" Lucy says as Aquarius at least smiles at aiding Lucy.

After Aquarius changes into a beautiful turquoise dress and black high heels and her hair is all curled up and done to perfection as Lucy sprays Dolce and Gabbana perfume on Aquarius. "Now go get Scorpio, Aquarius-San and have all the fun in the world!" Lucy smiles as Aquarius blushes. Lucy quickly dashes downstairs to find Taurus her butler. "Taurus-San!!!" Lucy calls out as Taurus fixes his sunglasses. "Yes my lady?" He asks. "I want you to take Aquarius in the limo to go on a date with Scorpio!" Lucy smiles as Taurus is confused but quickly nods.

Aquarius walks down the stairs in ultimate beauty as she smiles sweetly at Lucy. "Thank you my lady. I will return as soon as possible." Lucy slowly pushes Aquarius to the main doors. "Just go! And nonsense! Take all the time you need!" Lucy says smiling. Aquarius disappears into the limo as Taurus drives her away to her date. Lucy smiles brightly as she is about to walk back upstairs to get more beauty sleep. "Master Luc-Lucy..." Comes a soft voice as her hands are clasped together as she is wearing her maid uniform and is looking down a bit.

"Ah, Aries-San!" Lucy smiles as she turns to face her. "M-Mister Natsu is here, I just wanted to inform you..." Aries says meeting Lucy's glance. Lucy sighs in annoyance as she groans and looks down. "Please tell him I'm not here I don't want to deal with the dumb drama." Lucy sighs as Aries quickly nods and dismisses herself as she leaves. Lucy runs back upstairs as she runs to her room and slams the door. "LUUUUUCCCCYYY!" Lucy groans when she realizes who the person is. "Go home NATSU I don't want to see you!" Lucy yells.

Natsu kicks the door open as a huge goofy grin is plastered onto his face. Aries stands behind Natsu. "M-My apologies, Master Lucy, he stormed through before I could tell him!" Aries says as Lucy sighs. "It's okay Aries, at least you tried." Lucy forces a smile as Aries quickly nods and descends. Lucy quickly spins her head to face Natsu as she frowns in pure anger. "What do you want fool!" She said as Natsu jumps up and down. "Our parents want us to get married when we both turn eighteen!" Natsu grins as Lucy gasps at the news.

"What the! They can't do that! I don't want to marry you!" Lucy growls as Natsu puts his hands behind his head. "But you know me Lucy!" Natsu complains as Lucy grows in anger. "Only because my mom knows your dad! Leave my house! I don't want none of this!" Lucy growls as her ears perk. Footsteps were coming upstairs as her third maid with starry night eyes and dark pink hair walks in. "Hime, do you want me to kick him out?!" Virgo says as she folds her arms. Lucy immediately smiles as she nods and thanks her.

Virgo grabs Natsu with strength. "I'm sorry Mr. Natsu but you are disturbing Hime at peace, you must go!" Virgo says this as she kicks Natsu out of the house before bowing to Lucy. The blondie smiles as she jumps into her bed and rolls around. "Finally the whacked up weirdo is gone, he was getting on my nerves!" Lucy says as Virgo walks in. Lucy smiles once she sees her. "Thank you for doing that Virgo-San!" Lucy smiles as Virgo nods. "Of course. No one annoys Hime but her three maids!" Virgo smiles brightly as she says this.

After an hour or so, Layla Heartfilia finally returns. "Lucy Heartfilia what is this about kicking Natsu out?" She says in disbelief. Lucy sits up as she sighs. "Mother I am sorry but I don't want to see someone I'm going to marry by force!" Lucy defensively states. "Lucy, this marriage is for your own good!" Lucy scowls as she looks at Layla. "I don't want this life! I want a normal girl life!" Lucy says as they argue for a good minute and Layla comes to a conclusion. She sits down on Lucy's bed as Lucy looks at her.

"Fine, I'll let you go to a high school and live the life you want. No more studies and tutoring from your three maids." Layla declares as Lucy quickly nods. "But on one condition my dear daughter!" Layla says looking at Lucy. She quickly nods. "Anything mom!" She smiles as Layla grins. "You have to find someone else to marry before you have to with Natsu, introduce me to him and I shall seek that he is the perfect groom for my baby!" Lucy builds up in happiness as she immediately hugs Layla. "Thank you mother, I will find a groom!"

 "Thank you mother, I will find a groom!"
