Living a Double Life

C16: A Dragneels dilema

In the Royal kingdom of Slayroy

everything's going well the Kingdom's still in one piece but its not the kingdom I'm worried about actually its, its ruler that troubles me Zeref has been working non-stop since his father passed, it;s starting to make me wonder whether or not he's really coping with it or not but as days go by i see him less everyday, sometimes we don't even speak, i try to get him to go out and see the city with me but he refuses it's kind of depressing maybe if i can get him to open up to someone he trusts and get him to have fun!, these thoughts plundered my brain as i gazed around the room for even the slightest thing that might give me an idea of what to do to help my beloved king as my eyes then roam then room and land on a photo frame which made a light bulb go off in my head, "i have the perfect idea!"

Magnolia, royal mannor

"Natsu! have you seen my sister?" I question as i poke my head into my room then into his, "nope haven't seen her since breakfast, maybe she went to the mall with Levy and Juvia?" he asks as i reluctantly shake my head, " levy and Juvia said that offered but she declined, saying she had something to do today" i say placing my hand on my chin gazing up, I wonder where she could've went it's not like Michelle to just up and disappear like this. as i contemplated these things my thoughts where not soon interrupted by the ringing of the phone, "i got it!" i yell as i approach the phone, "Hello?"

"Hi LUCY!!, it's so nice to hear your voice"

"L-Lady Mavis?" i sayin in a nervous panic as i see Natsu sit up from his bed and looks at me with a scrunched up face as i simply shrug my shoulders, "oh Mavis is fine dear- or maybe Nii-san?" as she continued her rambling I start to get nervous, "u-uh is that really neccecery?" i asked, "of course after all we're going to be family soon right !" im face turns instantly red as i clear my throat and laugh nervously before interrupting, " ah so Lady Mavis what did you call for?" I as as Natsu then walks up to me as i turn the phone side way s so we both could hear," oh! actuall I wanted to invited you and your friends to come to slayroy for the week!" she says as Natsu and I look at each other confused, "uhh...Thats a very generous offer lady Mav-"

"Just Mavis!"

"ah-...Mavis, but its to short notice and we have school and we don't really have the funds to travel to slayroy right now but thanks for the invite." i say declining as i turn to Natsu as he nods his head in agreement to this being the right decision, "oh hoho~ don't be silly, of course we'll pay for allthe expenses and I've already called your school to let them know you all will be taking a leave of absents and i also contacted your two friends from Sabortooth Academy and let there teachers know as well and their already extatic about the idea!" she chanted as our faces went pale at how already planed she was for this event as Natsu then leaned the phone over to him, "-And my brother knows all about this?" he asked as we heard a chuckle on the other line, "Why of course, it was all his idea he wanted you to come back and have a more fun memory then.... the last time you were here." she says in a low sorrow filled voice as we all were engulfed in silence but not to long was did it take to be broken, "OK I bought all your friends train tickets and the train station is already aware of your arrival see you soon byieee." said the overly excited women as I look at Natsu to see his face completely blue, "Natsu Oi Natsu what's wrong?" I question as i feel his forehead and hold his shoulders , "d-did she said train." I forgot Natsu hates and mode of transportation unless its flyin with a dragon that is so i guess where going to slayroy then i think before letting out a sigh this is going to be a long trip i can feel it.

Magnolia Train station

So many thoughts are rushing threw my head right now like for one why the sudden inventation when I met Natsu's brother Zeref he didn't seem like the type to want his little brother and his friends to come to their home land to 'have fun' more like a work now play later type of person, but then again how much play time can you really get being the king and all, as thought after thought goes threw my head i soon feel a warm presence on my hand as I automatically blush aw Natsu must know I have a lot on my mind and is trying to comfort- before  could finish my thought I soon come face to face with a now green faced Natsu as if he's ready to blow chunks and the train hadn't even begun to move yet, " l-...Lucy d-...don't think so hard...mk every things going to b-" I knew what he was trying to say so him not finishing his sentence because he was about to throw up didn't disgust me in the slightest, "will all passangers please take there seats now" said the counductor as i then sit awaiting Natsu's precense's next to my as I turn to look out the window at the trees, "wow Natsu lo-" I tap the hand in the seat next to me to feel it more soft and feminie as i turn my head to see, "Michelle! what are you doing right here?" I question as she smiles, "well i felt like I would be a bother to your friends and I didn't want to be a fifth wheel so I thought i'd just sit with you!" she said with a bright smile as i turn to see Natsu leaning his head on some random buff guy and I let out a slow sigh and smile at my sister lovingly, "sure Michelle why would you be a wheel anyway" i say with a nervous chuckle fifth wheel? more like a seventh wheel i think before the train the pulls off the slayroy as I'm engulfed in the warm prescense of my sister instead of my fiancé.
