The Missing Princess

Chapter 6

"Lucy! Where have you been?!" Everyone shouted, making Lucy cover her ears and flinch.

"Please don't scream, I'll explain okay?" Lucy lied. Then she head towards the bar and sat down on her stool. Everyone was still looking at her.

"So explain now" Erza demanded. "But first remove you cloak, it makes me feel uncomfortable" Happy said. Lucy then removed her cloak revealing her outfit.

She was wearing a plain white long sleeve shirt with a blue sleeveless vest, a blue skirt with white lines on the side that reaches mid thigh with a white belt, white leggings and blue combat boots. Then Erza's eyes widened in seeing on what hanging on her belt.

"Lucy is that a sword?" Erza asked pointing to the sword. Everyone looked at her surprised while Lucy eyes widen in shock. She had to think of a lie right now.

"Shoot, I forgot to give it back" Lucy said, face palming herself. "Why do you have a sword with you?" Mira asked. "I was hunting with a friend, and he gave me a sword to defend myself" Lucy lied. "Do you even know how to use it?" Gray asked. Lucy just

hummed in reply.

Then the doors open and everyone looked and saw a man with orange hair, wearing glasses, a green jacket, a orange shirt, jeans and shoes. His look made most of the girls in the guild have a crush on him.

"Loke!" Lucy said in surprise. "Hey Lucy" Loke greets. "What are you doing here?" Lucy asked, standing up. Then Loke gave her a 'just play along' look. "You forgot you bag, I had to give it back to you of course" Loke said, showing Lucy's bag on his hand.

"Oh yeah I forgot" Lucy said. Then Loke threw it to Lucy and she caught it. "Oh yeah I forgot to give you back you're sword" Lucy said as she holds the sword.

"Nah keep it, you're gonna need it" Loke said. "Geez thanks" Lucy said sarcastically. "Oh come on I know you love me" Loke said as he appeared beside Lucy.

"Yeah sure" Lucy said sarcastically. Loke had his jaw dropped, for his flirting didn't work. "You need to go, I bet you need you're rest" Lucy said. "Yeah, yeah sure, I see you" Loke said as she walks to the door.

"See you later Lucy" Loke said as he leaves the guild. "Playboy" Lucy muttered. "So Lucy, did you and that Loke guy had fun at his house?" Cana asked, nudging Lucy with her elbow.

"What? Are you-?" Lucy finally understood what she meant. "What? No Cana it's not like that" Lucy stated. "Oh yeah but how come he had you're bag with him, huh?" Cana asked. "Well obviously he found it in my own room" Lucy emphasized 'my own'.

"Oh really?" Mira teased, raising a brow up. "Yes, look we just stayed together for a week, what's the big idea?, we didn't even sleep together" Lucy said. "But I bet you wanted too" Levy teased.

Lucy faces the other way and crosses her arms. "For your information I don't, I'm not into playboys and plus he more of a brother type figure than a boyfriend type" Lucy stated. "Oh really?" Levy asked.

"Okay fine I love him" Lucy said. Her friends squealed while a certain someone went out the guild, looking sad. "I love him as a brother, nothing else" Lucy explained. This made her friends stop squealing.

"Oh come on Lu, you almost had us there" Levy pouted. "Yeah, we all know that every man is dropping on their knees just to be your lover" Erza said. "You think I don't know that?" Lucy said, annoyed.

"Well it is true, Lucy you're already turning eighteen this year, becoming a woman already, you better find a man to at least have a future with" Mira said, wiping the counter. "Oh yeah how about you?" Lucy asked.

"Oh I'm with Laxus now" Mira informed. "Wait what?! When? Where? How?" Lucy asked, pulling Mira closer to her. "It happened three days ago, Laxus asked me if I can go with him for a walk and I did, then before we went back to the guild, he confessed and asked to be his girlfriend and of course I said yes" Mira said.

"Why? Why must Miraxus become canon when I'm not around?" Lucy cried. "Oh come on Lucy, at least it's only one of you're friends that only started a relationship, it's not like all of us are dating and you weren't there to witness it" Erza said. "Speaking of friends, where's Natsu" Happy asked.

Then they looked at the place Natsu was siting earlier and noticed it empty. "Probably he went home" Lisanna guessed. "Yeah probably after all it's getting late" Makarov said.

"He left without me!!" Happy screamed as he flew out the door. Everyone laughed at him. Lucy stands up and fix herself and carries her bag.

"Well I think I'm gonna go now, I'll see you guys tomorrow" Lucy said as she head to the door. "Bye Lucy" the guild said. Lucy waves at them as she leaves.
