Okay, someone mentioned that I need longer chapters. I agree wholeheartedly, but I have exams, and Midterms, and my whole schedule is in chaos. So, sorry, but they're going to be short for a while.

Chapter 3: Morning, Laxus!

Previously:

Makarov stepped out of his office, and saw Lucy kneeling at the front of the guild, still crying, though it faded steadily as he neared.

"What is it, child?"

"I was, s-struck by l-lightn-ning," she said, hiccuping a bit. "N-now, I c-can't-t control my p-powers! What do I do?"

"Powers?"

"A beam of light, like Laxus' lightning appeared last night and decimated my bedsheets! I don't wanna hurt anyone!" The rest of the guild sympathized, but went back to their activities. Master Makarov literally had a lightbulb above his head.

"I know! Laxus can train you."

"WHAT?!" both Lucy and Laxus shrieked in horror, staring at each other, then at Makarov.

"You'll get along just fine!"

The Next Morning: —Lucy's POV—

I opened my eyes lazily. I had woken up to a crash! in the kitchen. I hopped out of bed, cracked my back bending as far as I could, and then rolled my shoulders. I then grabbed the 2nd-most-powerful weapon for a woman (a book) and silently crept to the door of the kitchen (A/N: I don't remember what her house is like, so I'm just gonna make it up.) I heard movement, and I closed my eyes and whacked the person there on the head. The person crumpled to the floor, and I opened my eyes slightly. There, on the ground knocked out, was Laxus Dreyar. Oh no! He's gonna kill me! I stared at him for a moment. The sun shined on his luscious hair, making it seem to glow. My eyes traveled down to his eye, his scar prominent against his slightly-tanned skin. I checked to make sure he was indeed knocked out, and slowly brought my hand to his scar, tracing it. He shivered slightly. I continued to finger it. I heard a beep, and immediately thrust my hand back.

I opened the microwave lacrima's door, and pulled out… oatmeal? It didn't seem like the type of thing he'd like. Did he make it for me? Well, I'm gonna eat it anyway. I grabbed a white bowl from the cupboard, and poured some in. Then I grabbed a spoon and a glass, and poured myself some tangerine juice. I spread the curious mix on top of the oatmeal: salt, honey, and peanut butter, and then mixed it in, humming contentedly to myself. I glanced over at Laxus every once in a while, finding it suspicious that the self-proclaimed "strongest mage in Fairy Tail" was out like a light when I hit him with a book. Although, it was a 5-inch one (on the history of Fiore). I wonder what'd happen if I used a woman's most powerful weapon (a pan) on him…

Laxus stirred, and I quickly spooned the rest of the oatmeal into another bowl, and set it on the counter. He opened his eyes, staring at me. I could feel my face heating up slightly, but thankfully not enough for him to tell, from his intense look. Then he looked away, and I cooled down.

"Um, your oatmeal's on the counter." He grunted in acknowledgment, and brought it to the table, sitting across from me. We ate in silence. I noticed my hands hadn't glowed yet, and relaxed slightly. Why did it not now, but it did before? Anyway, I'm grateful for that. What would've happened if I hit Laxus while he was sleeping. My gravestone would've said: The Death of Lucy Heartfilia was made by Laxus Dreyar, after attacking him in his sleep. I shuddered, and Laxus looked at me curiously. "It's nothing," I reassured him. He grunted again. Not a man of many words, is he. Though, knowing him, he's probably just not used to waking up so early on the weekend. "So," I said, not bearing the silence, "how are we going to do this?"

"Well, we're going first, to the woods, to see what you can do." I nodded.

"But, I can't tell when it's going to happen. I mean, it didn't happen while I was asleep, nor this morning, but it did when I went to the guild and went to bed…"

"We'll figure it out."

"Thanks for having such a detailed plan," I said sarcastically. He shoved on his headphones, smirking slightly, and ignored me. I pouted, puffing out my cheeks.

See? I told you it was short. I'm not completely sure where to go with this, so if you guys could give me some ideas, that'd be awesome.
