And now I am Mrs. Amber.

Review or message me if you want details!.

It seems that now that I have so much schoolwork to do, I can't stop myself from writing. I think I have skewed priorities. I may need help.

Attempt Six:

This plan is genius! I think as I make a note to see a friend of mine after my shift today.

Today is slow and probably going to be uneventful. Most everyone is hungover in the guild or sleeping in from last night's ball. Needless to say, I don't expect most of the mages to show up at all today. And I really don't expect any NatsuLucy progress to be made either.

Natsu never comes in the day after a party, especially when he drinks. I have noticed that Lucy does come in. I've asked her about that, and she always responds that it is the quietest place in the entire city when everyone is hungover.

I smile at Lucy as she enters. She waves and holds her thick book to her chest.

Gray stumbles and trips backwards, making his entire body collide with Lucy, pushing her into the bar. His butt lands on her back and he slides down her entire person before he ends up on the floor.

"Ow!" Lucy yelps quickly, pressing her lower back into the bar

"Jeeze, Lucy it wasn't that hard," Gray tries to roll his eyes, but ends up grasping his head with his hands. I can see that he is unaware of where he landed on her. I can see that his eyes are bloodshot.

Lucy crosses her arms and pouts. I can see tears welling up in her eyes, "don't let it happen again."

Gray shrugs and mutters a weak hungover apology before he meanders to a booth to sit down. He makes ice for his head and drones out into groans.

Lucy straightens her skirt and makes a bee line for the blue haired bookworm sitting down the bar a ways away from her normal spot. She wasn't hungover at all, but enjoyed the silence the guild offered the morning after a party.

Lucy sat down and tucked her head in close to Levys and started whispering back and forth.

I pay no mind to Lucy and Levy whispering back and forth. It is a common occurrence ever since they started reading this new book series together. They don't want many people to overhear their conversations. I listened in one time and it was all boring and they were referencing characters that I did not and do not have any interested in knowing about.

I prepare a drink for Bixlow and Freed. Apparently, Laxus needed to take care of some important business without his team today. Freed isn't taking being left out well and Bixlow always finds entertainment in seeing his distain.

I set down the glass and make a list of all of the other drinks that I need to make when I nearly jump out of my skin.

Levy, at the top of her lungs, yelled, no, screeched, "YOU DID WHAT?!"

I spin around to see that Lucy is as red as a tomato and trying to clamp a hand over Levy's equally red face. By now, all of the hungover mages in the guild are holding their heads and moaning or looking over with minimal interest or anger at the loud noise.

I could barely make out, "I didn't even realize it till this morning."

Where is Cobra when I need him to figure out what she is talking about?

Lucy, realizing that they weren't as quiet as they were before, looks up and around her while waving her hands to assure everyone that everything is in order and okay and to move on with their mornings. She sends Levy a harsh glance to stay quiet.

"How?" Levy squeaks out.

"The obvious way, don't you think?" Lucy states sarcastically. That isn't normal for the blonde.

Levy grins and bites her lip to hold back a squeal.

"You can't tell anyone," Lucy shakes her head violently.

Interest is at maximum peak. I need to know what they are talking about. It can't possibly be what I think it is, could it?

Last night, Lucy was stumbling out of the guild from drinking too much and Natsu walked her home without being asked. I guess that he is used to letting himself into her house so he was the fitting man for the job. They didn't even look like they were all that interested in each other sexually last night. Just the loving stares at the beginning of the night and the rest of the night turned into a drinking contest between the two of them.

Lucy probably doesn't remember it, but she almost fainted when she saw the cost of each of the shots. I know how much her rent costs and she would have spent two months rent on the shots. Except Natsu, yes, Natsu, paid for both his and her shots. She doesn't know how much that boy really loves her.

Wait, she was drunk and he walked out of the guild basically fine. And I have an idea of what might make this blonde so flustered.

I swear, if that little destruction magnet took advantage of Lucy last night, he will have to face the wrath of a thousand angry demons.

But, just imagine their babies! They will be so cute! They would have auntie Mira to look after them on weekends. I will give them sugar all day so that they keep their parents awake all night.

Focus, Mira! They are getting quieter.

"Are you sure he doesn't know about it?" Levy asks, leaning her head even closer to her best friend.

Was he really more drunk than he looked? How could I let this happen to my poor Lucy?! Neither one of them remembering their first time?!

"I'm pretty sure. He passed out and he claims to know nothing about it," Lucy looks from side to side.

I am going to kill him when I get my hands on him. I don't care if he remembers or not!

A hundred ways to castrate and kill the fire user pops into my head in a parade of despair. I am too busy seething to notice that the two lean closer to each other and are not talking at all. All that is left is the two bookworms glowing red.

"Can I see it?" Levy asks timidly with a burning curiosity laced in her tone.

.

Wait, Levy, what? what?

"No, no, no, no, no, no," Lucy says quietly.

What is going on here? Why would Levy want to see it? How would Levy be able to see it?

Lucy continues her protest and increases her volume as Levy starts to beg with her eyes.

Lucy leans back, trying to block out the ultimate weapon of her fellow bookworm.

"Please, Lucy!" Levy grabs Lucys arm and makes her look in her eyes.

Lucy lets out a defeated sigh. Before she answers what I assume could be conceiting to the booksworms request I walk up and place two large milkshakes in front of them.

"Goodmorning, what are you two talking about?" I ask with a sweet smile.

Lucy looks horrified and Levy smirks with the rare mischievous glint.

"Lucy was just about to show me her-" Levy is cut off by Lucy jumping up and putting a hand over Levys mouth.

I need to reward Levy with some useful information or an old book. If she gets Lucy to tell me what they are talking about, I will probably get her both!

"Show you her what?" I ask innocently.

Lucy flushed a deep red. She knows that once I get the smell of blood, I won't stop chasing till I catch my prey.

"Would you prefer to come in the kitchen with me?" I suggest, seeing that Levy wanted me to know and how reluctant Lucy is still being.

Lucy sags her shoulders in defeat and stands up. She awkwardly hops over the barstool and walks back to the door with Levy. I wave at Bixlow so that he will protect the bar from Cana and Makarov.

I lead them towards a back corner, near the recently cleaned stack of dishes and the sink used to clean them.

"So what is it?" I ask, expecting an answer now that we were away from the hungover mages.

"I know that you know I was really drunk last night," Lucy starts, avoiding eye contact with me. She mutters something about fueling a fire before she continues, "Natsu walked me back to my apartment and we both passed out."

She looks to Levy to alleviate some of the embarrassment, "But we didn't stay asleep," she trailed off and absent mindedly flattened her skirt.

My eyes widen in surprise and in fury.

Demon's wrath will descend upon you, Dragneel! He has no right to take advantage of a drunken Lucy! No matter how much the two love each other, that is not acceptable for a first time!

"Ugh, I will just show you," Lucy says. The normally articulate woman is at a loss of words in her embarrassment. Her behavior is really confusing me. That is the only thing that is restraining me from finding Natsu and beating him within an inch of his life.

Lucy sighs heavily and faces away from us. Levy looks excited and it is rubbing off on me. I have no idea what has both of these girls all riled up. I only know that it has something to do with Natsu. If it what I think it is, I will hunt Natsu down. But there is a slight chance that it isn't.

She lifts up the hem of her skirt to show us something on her backside. It takes a moment for me to register what I see.

"Is that. . . ?" I blink and let my jaw go slack.

Levy squeals and stamps her feet in an excited dance, "It is!"

"I am trusting that neither of you will tell anyone!" Lucy sternly drops the hem of her skirt and tenderly straightens it out.

"Well, you better start wearing pants. You know how rough the guild can be," I say. I really wouldn't want a lot of people knowing about that.

"That must have hurt," Levy says. She looks at the location of it, trying to see it thought the skirt.

"I didn't feel it at the time," Lucy said with another sigh and lifted her skirt up again to let Levy stare at it. "But it hurts a lot now."

"Do you know who did it, that looks amazing," I ask.

"I found the receipt from that place a few blocks away from Fairy Hills," Lucy pulls out a paper from her pocket.

"FreakShows Tattoo parlor?" I ask, grabbing the paper. "Oh, Rocky was your artist! I know him! He has gotten a lot better from when he did Laxus's tattoo."

"I just can't believe that you got a tattoo of a fire dragon on your ass," Levy smiles.

Lucy shakes her head, peaking over her skirt to look at it too.

"It is beautiful, are you going to keep it?" I ask. The tattoo is tiny, but the dragon is a beautiful mix of red and gold. The entire western-style dragon is perched on a key that looked eerily like one of Lucy's celestial keys. I could tell that Rocky put a lot of effort into it and it was highly custom.

Lucy blushed, "I actually really like it."

.

.

Lucy has gone home after revealing her tattoo to Levy and I. I don't expect to see any other action today, so I hunker down to start cleaning all of the decorations and the trash from the night before.

"Mira, have you seen a red envelope in the guild anywhere?" Natsu runs up to the bar with a frantic look on his face. "It is about this big." He draws a tiny letter sized envelope size in the air with his finger.

My eyebrows knit together in confusion, "No I haven't. Is it a letter?"

"Not exactly," Natsu frantically looks from side to side and ducks under the bar.

I am about to ask him further questions about the potential location as I lean over to see if he actually does find it on the ground at the bar.

"Oh here it is," he shoots back up, narrowly missing colliding with my head. He is holding a torn open envelope in victory. I do not fail to notice that he is holding that envelope with more reserve than any other piece of paper I have ever seen him hold.

He blinks and looks at it and notices the tear on the flap.

Natsu angrily sighed and pulled out the contents of the envelope to do something that I expected to be an inventory.

I can see the relief in his face when the contents were undamaged from a night in the guild. He lays out the content on the counter in order to try to fold the envelope into something that will hold it better.

I nearly drop what I'm cleaning.

"Natsu, where did you get that?" I ask, instantly recognizing the outline of the picture.

It is a tiny picture of a dragon sitting on top of a key that looks almost exactly like what I saw permanently etched into Lucy's backside.

Natsu looked over his shoulder, "What do you mean, where did I get it? I drew it."

.

Oh . My . Goodness.

He was out of the guild before my lungs caught up with my excitement.

TELL ME what you think in a REVIEW!
I always imagined that Natsu would have mad drawing skills. This is what happened.
