Dragon Boy and Princess

Chapter 29

Hi everybody! I cannot believe it has been so long! So sorry! Please don't kill me! I have to have fun on my vacation too ya know! Now I sound like Naruto... Awesome! OK, enough of my craziness. I was going to upload this three days ago, but we suddenly arranged to go to a friend's chalet in the mountains and to my knowledge there was no wifi, and I wasn't allowed to bring my computer with me anyway, sooo yeah. Oh, guys, would you guys be interested in a sasusaku vamp fanfic? If you are, please let me know in the comments or by messaging me. Anything works. If so, I'll work on that immediately. Now, without further ado, on to chapter 29!!

          After Lucy got cleaned up and Aquarius reapplied her makeup for her, they went to join the others in the big salon they were seated in. It was an elegantly furnished salon with rich red couches, gold-bordered white curtains and a mosaic floor.

          As soon as they walked in, all heads turned to them.

          "Well it's about time you two got here! Loke wouldn't tell us how he became prince until you arrived!" Gray exclaimed.

          Erza promptly smacked him over the head, hard.

         "Ow!" he yelped. "What was that for?!"

          "For being insensitive," Erza said icily as she gave Gray a withering look.

          Gray immediately retreated and cowered behind Cana who was doing her best not to laugh out loud. Then Erza turned to Lucy and Aquarius with a gentle smile on her face.

          "So, is everything okay between the two of you now?" she asked.

          "Everything is just fine," Lucy said, smiling at Aquarius.

          "Good because you took my babe away from me for too long. We are!" said a man as he walked up to them and snaked an arm around Aquarius' waist. Aquarius made a small squeak sound and blushed.

          Lucy's eyes widened as she took in the gesture. The newcomer was tall; just a bit taller than Aquarius, with slicked back hair that was red on one side and white on the other. He had tan skin with strange white triangles under his onyx eyes. Lucy could tell he was quite muscular mostly because he wasn't wearing a shirt, and his pants were sort of baggy, like Natsu's pants, with a red zigzag running along the sides. He had two pistols hanging from his belt that had some sort of cool design etched into the metal. Over all, he looked badass, totally matching Aquarius in that area.

          "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch your name," Lucy said politely as she couldn't help but grin like an idiot because she saw that Aquarius had found someone.

          "Scorpio's the name. One of Loke's appointed guards. Great to meet ya, Lucy. I've heard a lot about ya. We are!" Scorpio said amiably.

          Lucy's smile grew at the informality; she liked him already.

          "Scorpio!" Aquarius hissed, clearly embarrassed that Lucy now knew that she talked about her.

          Scorpio just laughed and pulled Aquarius closer. Lucy couldn't help but start squealing at the cute couple.

          "W-What is that sound? Stop it at once, Lucy!" Aquarius said flustered.

          Lucy started laughing and everyone else's laughter seemed to mingle with hers. As everyone was laughing at Aquarius' expense, Lucy noticed a woman who was quietly laughing to herself that she hadn't noticed before. She guessed that that was Loke's third guard. The woman had bubble gum pink hair that curled at the end and was held back by a cream colored headband, and doe brown eyes. She was wearing a long sleeve beige shirt that had a small black design along the neckline and cuffs, and she was wearing black pants along with black ankle boots. Lucy thought she was very beautiful.
