The Last Queen

&16& A Reason To Fight Already

One Week Later In Crocus
Lucy's POV

I open up the portal that lands us in an alley beside our hotel. I smile and look at everyone. "Ok you have arrived at The Sleeping Fairy Inn. I hope everyone enjoyed the ride and have a nice day."

Everyone laughs. Ezra hugs me then turns to face everyone. "Ok everyone!! You know the drill. Have fun, don't destroy anything, and be back before 12."

I step forward and waves my hand. A bracelet appears on everyone's wrist. "Well I was told by Master that you guys cut it really close last time. So I'm going to ease Gramps's heart, on your wrist is a transporter. When the clock strikes 11:50, no matter where you are, you'll be teleported to your room here at the Inn."

I smile over at Master and he starts crying, hugging, and thanking me. Natsu cheers. "Alright!!! Time for some fun!! Let's go!!!"

Everyone cheers and runs off. Ezra, Mira, and Gramps shakes their head and walks into the Inn. I giggle and turns to Laxus. He frowns and shakes his head at me.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm not carrying you around. You better get Unity to carry you around."

I pout and cuddles close to him. "But Laxus, I'm starting to stay up longer so you only have to carry me when I get really sleep. Please Lax!!!"

He rolls his eyes and starts walking away. I look at Unity. "Why is he being so mean to me Nity??"

She rolls her eyes at me and we start walking behind him. She leans over and whispers low enough so he can't hear us. I'm betting that it has something to do with the fact that you won't kiss him. He's been trying to kiss you for the past week now. He's starting to think that you don't want him anymore.

I blush hard. I whisper back. "Well he needs to wait alittle while longer. If I could then I would kiss him right now and we could be the happiest couple on this earth. I'm just following everyone's orders and waiting."

Unity walks forward and looks back at me. When has that ever stopped you before? Don't come back here and change who you are. Be that same person you were with your parents and everyone else. Remember Princess. You're...... Not........ Weak.

I smile and nods my head. I run up to Laxus and pulls him to a stop. He looks down at me. "Yes Lu??"

I blush and hugs him close. "Don't give up on me yet. Come with me please."

He stares down at me for awhile. Unity bumps him from behind. Just go with her dummy. You both need this before the games begin. You need your heads on straight if we're going to win this thing.

I look up at Laxus. He sighs and nods his head. I smile and opens a portal and we step through it together. He looks around and smiles softly. "Really? You took me here out of all places??"
