Mystery guy (fairytail fanfic )

Running away

"Are you done, princess?" Virgo asked outside my dressing room. "Just a minute," I responded. "Alright."

I came out of my dressing room "What do you think, Virgo? ...Virgo?" I glanced up to see Virgo looking at me like she had just seen a ghost, and Aquarius was actually laughing. And I never saw Aquarius laugh.

"What?!" I exclaimed. "What's so bad about my clothes?" "I've never laughed so hard before kiddo!" Aquarius responded. "Turn around and find out!" "Okay..." When I turned around, I immediately regretted it. I looked awful.

I was wearing big glasses that I didn't need, a big, fat, blue t-shirt that obviously been worn before, and a long skirt with green and red stripes. To top it all off, my hair was in braids. Now, don't get me wrong, but these are horrible. "Aquarius, you planned this." "Maybe," she said slyly. "I did say you were dressing up as a nerd."

"Ahhhhhhh! Can I change into something else?" I whined. "NO!" Aquarius insisted between chuckles. "You're still making me wear this so you can laugh, huh?" I asked. "Well, yes," Aquarius admitted, "but I want to to out of this mansion fast because your meeting is at 6. Right now, it's 3 so you have to go now. There's no time to change. Let's go!" I sighed. "Okay " I said, finally giving up "Let's go."

"Okay, so first thing's first. You're going to act as the knew servant your father ordered to tidy the rooms, but you lost the way, so I brought you with me. After that, you'll just have to wait and see." "What?" I inquired. "Why won't you tell me?" "It can't look like a skit! This way, they won't doubt," she explained. "Okay, but how many days should I be out?" I asked. "Maybe a year..." Aquarius pondered. "A year? I can't do that!" I exclaimed. "No way! I always stay away for only about 5 to 6 days! I can't run for a year."

"Lucy, Lucy, Lucy," Aquarius said tiredly. "Go out and have some fun for once. All your life had been boring; all you do is study and read. It's boring, and you know it! Do you really want to spend the rest of your life studying and reading? Have fun for one day and you won't get out of that prison. You'll get married to a fat, short guy that's a perv if you stay! Do you really want that?" "W-well, uh, no, but-" I stammered before Aquarius cut me off. "But WHAT?" "I...nothing." I gave in. "See? that's what I thought." Aquarius crossed her arms triumphantly. "Now let's go." "Alright."

"Princess?" I turned around. "Yes, Virgo?" "You look good," she continued hesitantly. "Virgo?" I asked while staring at her through my goofy glasses. "Yes, princess?" "You don't have to lie."

~~~~~~<<<~~~~~~

"You ready, Lucy?" "Yep."

Aquarius and I walked up to the guards. "Hey, guards!" she called. "YES MA'AM!" they responded in unison as they stood up stick straight. They looked utterly terrified. "I found a maid that got lost. She was supposed to clean the rooms, but since she get lost, I'd like to know where the rooms are." "It's on the right after you go inside," one of the guards quickly answered. "Can you show me?" she persisted. "My apologies, ma'am, but Mr. Heartfilia said I can't leave my spot. What if Lucy-sama runs away?" He looked horrified at the thought. I guessed punishment was in store for them if, or when, I escaped. I felt a small pang of guilt. "She won't," Aquarius insisted. "Besides, she's dressing for the meeting. I was just in her room." "I don't know-" the guard argued. "Are you saying I'm lying?" Aquarius asked in a menacing tone. "NO, MA'AM!" the guard squeaked. "Then show me!" "Okay!" he agreed as he nodded vigorously. "Let's go! this way."

"Oh I almost forgot," Aquarius added sweetly. "She's a bit shy, so just show me while she feels safe here. I'll bring her there when you're done showing me the way." "Okay," the guard said. Suspicion crossed his face and seeped into his tone of voice

As Aquarius let the guard walk ahead of her, she waved back to me. This was my chance. I ran to the gate "Yes! It's open!" I whispered to myself excitedly. "Oh, of course it is. The guests will be here soon. I gotta get out of here!"

~~~20 Minutes Later~~~

"Ugh, the ma'am finally understood where the room is!" The guard groaned. "Yeah," his colleague sympathized.

The latter guard glanced over at the gate. "Hey, why's the gate open?" he asked. "What?" the other guard scolded. "You didn't close it?!"

"No," the first guard whimpered. "Well, good thing Lucy-sama is dressing," the second guard said in relief. Aquarius' escort just sighed. "Yeah."

~~~~~with Aquarius and Virgo~~~~~~

"Good luck, Lucy," Aquarius muttered to herself as she gazed out the window. "When are you going to confess that you love her?" Virgo asked, overhearing her. Aquarius turned to her and gave her a grim smirk. "Never will."
