First Chapter for my Second Fanfic. Completely different from my first fanfic, but I really wanted to write a StiCy. This will be Sting/Lucy and Rogue/Lisanna. So yeah, not going for the RoLe. I always like coming up with new things...

"I love you Luce." Natsu whispered into Lucy's neck. They sat at the edge of Magnolia forest, viewing the sunset over the shining lake that spanned in front of them.

Lucy was sitting in Natsu's lap, feeling completely content with Natsu resting his chin on her collar bone. Lucy turned to kiss him. Their lips connected. Lucy thought, I love this, I love him. His pink hair, his magic, his warmth, his personality, the taste of his lips, raspberry. Wait what? Raspberry?

Lucy dismissed the thought. She separated from Natsu and turned back to the lake to watch the rest of the sunset. Lucy breathed in heavily through her nose, Perfume?

Lucy wondered about why he smelt like the strange perfume, she shrugged it off expecting that it was just her perfume mixed with some other smells from around her. The celestial and fire mages sat together, sharing the occasional kiss, until the sun vanished under the horizon.

"I better go home." said Lucy.

Natsu nodded in silent agreement then said, "I'll walk you there." Natsu stood up, picking up Lucy and helping her to her feet. They started walking back through the forest. It was a full moon so they vaguely could see where they were going.

Lucy tripped occasionally, but Natsu always caught her. Lucy tripped over yet another root, "Damn it, I wish I was a dragon slayer so I could see as well as you." Natsu grinned at her, and lit his hand on fire. The surrounding area was flooded with the flickering light. Lucy smiled gratefully at Natsu and they continued.

About 30 minutes later they arrived at Lucy's apartment. "Thanks for walking me back Natsu, the date was fun." It was their 6 month anniversary, as they had gotten together just after the Grand Magic Games. "No problem." Natsu waved her goodbye and headed back to his house. Lucy smiled to herself and shut her front door.

The next day

"Morning everyone!" Lucy greeted the guild as she walked through the doors. "Morning Lucy!" chirped Mira, while cleaning the seemingly always growing stack of dirty mugs. Lucy headed towards the bar and sat down on her infamous 'Lucy's stool'.

"Hey Mira, can I get a-." "Strawberry milkshake?" Mira interrupted her. Lucy shook her head in awe. "Yes please, you really are too good at this Mira." Mira smiled and surprised Lucy again by pulling out a strawberry milkshake from under the counter.

"I made this a few minutes ago, you always come at the same time and order the same thing."

Lucy grinned, "Thanks a ton Mira!"

More and more people filed into the hall, a few people ordering something to eat. Natsu came in a near lunchtime and sat next to Lucy, ordering enough food to feed a large family for a week. While Mira rushed to get Natsu his food, Lucy leant closer to Natsu.

"How long do we have to keep this secret?" Lucy pulled back, Natsu replied with a grin, "I'll tell you when, just trust me ok?" Lucy grinned back, finding it impossible to be annoyed at her secret boyfriend. "Sure!"

Mira came back with Natsu's food, sliding the plates over the par. Lucy stared as Natsu consumed the whole fire chicken, the spicy salad, the steak, the meat sandwich, the fire pudding, and the fire martini that Mira had provided him with.

Suddenly Lucy stiffened, "Mira, what's the date today?" "The 11th, why?" "AHHH CRAP!" Lucy fell face first into the wooden bar with a loud bang. "My rent's due in a few days."

Her voice was muffled so Mira had to lean in closer. "What was that Lucy?" Mira questioned. Lucy lifted her head slightly, "My rent is due soon." Lucy mumbled. "Why don't you go on a quest with Team Natsu?" Lucy flinched at Mira's suggestion.

Lucy slammed her forehead into the table again. "We always end up taking ages, destroying something valuable, or fighting a dark guild or something." Mira nodded in understanding.

"Why not go on a mission with just Natsu and Happy then?" Lucy paled, the blood fleeing her face completely.

"With Erza not there to take care of Natsu, he always does something that makes it so we don't get our reward."

Mira nodded again. "I know!"

Lucy looked up again sceptically. "Don't give me that look," said Mira with a slight smile, "You can help me and Lisanna go shopping and cleaning around the guild!"

Lucy jumped up and clapped her hands happily. Natsu flinched at the loud and sudden noise. "How much money do you need Lucy?" asked Mira. "Ummm… considering I need money for food and stuff… I'd say maybe 20,000 jewels." Lucy's face fell as she thought about the amount.

"Ok!" cheered Mira. Lucy looked incredulously at her, "B-B-But that's so much!" Mira shook her head, "No, no, it's nothing, really!"

Lucy stared at her for a second, then said "Ok, but I'm working with you two for a week at least ok? Otherwise I will feel guilty." Mira smiled at Lucy's kindness.

"Are you sure? It is quite strenuous." Lucy just replied, "I must be even more so for you and Lisanna if you have to do it every day!" Lucy paused for a second in thought, then continued, "You know what? I will pitch in to help you and Lisanna out a bit every day from now on."

Mira burst into tears, surprising Lucy. "Mira! What's wrong?" "N-Nothing, you are just so nice and that is the first time anyone else has offered to help."

"It's nothing Mira. I'm happy to help! What should I do first?" Mira composed herself and said, "Lisanna and I are going shopping for the guild in about 20 minutes. You can join us if you want."

20 minutes later

"Ok! Let's go!" cheered Lucy and Lisanna at the same time. Mira smiled at the matching smiles on their faces and thought, "These two will become great friends."

The three girls first went to the fruit market, and bought bags upon bags of fruit. People, mostly males, were only too happy to help the three famous girls carry their shopping. After the fruit market, they went to the butchers and ordered stacks of steak, mounds of chicken and heaps of lamb.

After that, they went to the vegetable stores and bought a surprisingly small amount of vegetables. When Lucy questioned the two siblings as to why basically nothing was bought, Lisanna replied "Not many people want vegetables, normally they just get meat."

A few hours of shopping later, the three exhausted girls headed back to the guild for a very late lunch.

The three had spent much time talking and Lucy and Lisanna had formed a solid friendship in the short amount of time they hung out together during the day. "Hey Lisanna…" Lucy started as they were nearing the guild, "Wanna go on a job tomorrow together?"

Lisanna grinned in excitement, "Yeah! Sure! Sounds fun! I haven't gone on a quest in ages!" Mira stepped into the conversation with a worried voice, "Make sure it isn't too difficult. I want you two to be safe."

Lucy confirmed that she wasn't planning on a job with any fighting, which comforted Mira quite a bit. When they arrived at the guild, they put away the newly bought food, and sat down tiredly.

"Phew…" sighed Lucy. "That was…" Lucy paused, thinking of the right word, "Strenuous?" Lisanna suggested. Lucy and Lisanna looked at each other and started laughing… Very hard… They didn't know exactly what was so funny, but they couldn't stop.

Mira tried to keep a straight face, but gave up after a while and joined in the laughter. Once they had stopped laughing, Lucy excused herself, as she had to go get ready for another date with Natsu. "I'll be going now, see you guys tomorrow." "Wait Lu-chan!" Lisanna called out, "We still need to pick the job request!"

"Oh yeah! I can't believe I forgot that! Let's go choose it now!" the two mages left the storeroom and headed towards the request board.

"Hmmmm…" pondered Lisanna. "Capture a bandit clan… NO thank you!" "How about this one Lisanna? Escort a noble… Oh never mind, a dark guild is after them."

"This one seems ok. Collect rare and magical flowers. A few normal animals live near them, no real threat."

"Sounds good Lisanna! What's the reward?" "This one it is! The reward is 15,000 jewels."

"Cool! Meet here at say… 8?" "Good for me! See you tomorrow!" With the mission sorted out, Lucy headed back to her apartment to get ready for her date. Natsu took her out for a picnic dinner in the sunset near the same lake as last time.

It went smoothly and Natsu walked Lucy back to her apartment. Lucy fell asleep almost as soon as she hit her pillow, completely forgetting to set an alarm for the next day.

The next morning

Lucy mumbled in her sleep as the sun shone through her blinds and got her straight in the eye. Lucy slowly opened her eyes, but shut them quickly as the light almost blinded her.

She opened her eyes again, this time letting them adjust. Lucy glanced over her clock, 7:42. Lucy's half asleep mind didn't comprehend what the time actually meant until quite a while later.

"Oh crap!" Lucy yelled as she leapt out of bed, giving herself a head spin. "Oh crap…" she said again, "I'm so gunna be late!"

A few minutes of crashing around her apartment later, she had her clothes on mostly correctly, except that she was wearing only one sock on her foot, the other was on the outside of her shoe. After taking the sock off her shoe, she put it on her feet, then did up her shoes.

She grabbed her belt, whip and keys before rushing out the door, glancing at the clock as she went. 7:53.

"Oh crap." She said yet again, before running out of the apartment and towards the guild. A few minutes later, she arrived at the guild. She burst through the guild doors and yelled, "I'M HERE!" Very few people were at the guild, and those who were looked at her in surprise.

Lisanna walked up to her, "What are you doing here so early?" questioned the white-haired mage. "Wha? Weren't we supposed to meet here at 8?" Lisanna giggled, "Lu-chan, it's 7 silly!" Lucy's jaw dropped, then ground together, "Stupid clock."

Lisanna giggled again, which made Lucy giggle as well. Soon they were on the ground clutching their sides in laughter. A few minutes later, after they had recovered, Lucy moved over to the bar and ordered a milkshake and some eggs.

Mira gave Lucy her prepared milkshake, then left to make the celestial mage her breakfast. Lisanna sat next to Lucy discussing trivial matters, such as how they were going to get to Clover town, which was near where the job giver was located.

Mira arrived with Lucy's breakfast, which she shared with Lisanna. After finishing, the two mages left for the train station. They walked together in a comfortable silence. Once they reached the train station, they bought tickets for the next train, which would arrive in 10 minutes.

They sat down of a bench next to each other and asked at the same time, "Does it feel like we are forgetting something?" They looked at each other for a second before jumping up and shouting, "Our bags!"

They sprinted back to the guild, running through the confused mages, grabbing their bags, and sprinting back out again. The guild was left in a state of confusion, two of the least violent girls in the guild (not that it says much) had just ran into the guild, bowling over several people, then run back out, knocking over more people.

Back to the train station, Lucy and Lisanna just arrived.

"Whew…" panted Lucy. "W-we made it!" gasped Lisanna as they collapsed into the seats of the train. The PA announced that the doors were about to close, then they did and the train accelerated out of the station.

After calming down their breathing, the two girls started talking to pass time.

"Lu-chan… Truth or Dare?" asked Lisanna.

"Truth." Lucy replied. Lisanna thought for a second. "Are you dating someone?" Lucy went red in the face, "Y-Yes." she spluttered. Lisanna giggled at her reaction.

"Fine then." Huffed Lucy. "Truth or Dare." "Hmmm… I'll do truth as well."

"Then I will ask the same question. Are you dating someone?" Now it was Lisanna's turn to go red and stutter, "Y-Y-Yes." They took turns asking each other dares and inquiring into each other's secrets.

"This is getting boring…" said Lucy. Lisanna nodded in agreement. They were quiet for a while, until Lisanna said, "How about we try and guess who the other person is dating?"

"Hmmm… He doesn't want me to tell anyone, but one person won't hurt right?" Lucy agreed to Lisanna's suggestion. Lisanna went first. "Ok then, what is his personality?"

"Hmm… Childish, playful, immature, and protective." Lucy answered. "You?" questioned Lucy. "Pretty much the same thing." was Lisanna's reply.

They went on and on, getting hints on who the other person was dating. "Argh! I'm never going to get this!" Lucy groaned in frustration. Lisanna sighed in agreement.

"How about we just tell each other at the same time." Lucy suggested. "Sure!" responded Lisanna. "Okay," they said together. "3… 2… 1…" they looked into each other's eyes.

"Natsu." They both said at the same time.

"What?" the exclaimed yet again at the same time.

"Did you say Natsu?" they asked together.

"Yes." They said again. They stared at each other in shock, before Lucy growled, "He betrayed both of us."

"You didn't know either?" said Lisanna in a low tone. "N-No, h-he told me to keep i-it a s-s-s-secret." Lucy could start to feel the tears coming at the same time as Lisanna did. They both burst into tears in frustration that they had been played.

Lucy and Lisanna hugged each other for comfort before falling apart in sleep, both experiencing nightmares about what Natsu did with the other.

A loud screeching sound woke the two mages up, both of them jumping an impressive distance into the air. After figuring out that they were on a breaking train, memories of why they were there started coming back.

Lisanna and Lucy looked at each other with sad eyes. "I don't think I want to be with Natsu anymore." Lucy stated, "He is all yours." She continued as she looked even more downcast.

Lisanna shook her head, "No, he doesn't deserve either of us." she said in a sad voice. The two friends lost themselves in their thoughts as the grabbed their bags and left the train.

"Let's get this job over and done with quickly." Lucy suggested. Lisanna nodded in agreement,

"That's a good idea, it will keep our minds off HIM." Lucy nodded solemnly, "I can't believe he did that to us. It… It's just…" "I know what you mean."

The two girls returned to their silence as they walked out of the Clover town train station and towards the outskirts. They arrived at a small potion shop and entered. A wizened old woman with long white hair and a walking stick saw the two young mages enter, noticing their Fairy Tail marks, she said "Are you two here for the job?"

Lucy and Lisanna nodded and handed the old woman the job paper. "My name is Lucy, and she is Lisanna." "Hello Lucy, Lisanna… My name is Anda."

"It is nice to meet you Anda." said Lisanna, "Can you please just tell us what we need to do; we both want to finish this quickly."

Anda peered at the two younger women, then said "Are you two ok? I can see the tear marks on your faces…" Lisanna and Lucy started to tear up again, before more tear started to slide down their cheeks.

The old women's heart melted at the sad sight, she immediately left to make some strong, herbal tea, motioning for Lisanna and Lucy to sit down.

She grabbed the herbs she needed, and then boiled some water. She was back within two minutes and gave the tea to the crying mages.

Once Lisanna and Lucy got their crying under control, Anda asked "Do you want to tell me what happened? It might help."

Lisanna and Lucy took explaining and crying in turns, by the end of the story, Anda was clenching her fists in anger. "Lucy," she said, said mage looked into Anda's gentle brown eyes, "How long were you dating this… this… thing?"

"S-S-Six months." Anda gasped, "And you Lisanna?"

"A-About the same." The white haired mage cried. "So this man cheated on both of you for SIX months?" The two girls nodded.

"What are you planning to do." Anda questioned. Lucy spoke up while hiccupping, "W-We don't know, n-neither of us really want to g-go back, but we need m-money and we have o-other friends back home."

Anda looked at the two sobbing girls then said something that will change the rest of her life, "You can stay here if you want. I can take care of you and you can work her in the store until you feel ready to go back."

Lucy and Lisanna stopped sobbing and looked up at her, before pulling her into a bone crushing hug, "Thank you thank you thank you thank you!"

Later that day

Lucy and Lisanna looked at the small room that they would be sharing for a while. There was a single wardrobe, two small beds, a desk, and a medium sized window on one wall looking out over the forest near Clover town.

The two of them had just unpacked and were preparing to send a message to Master Makarov. Lucy sat with a pen and paper, tapping the pen against her chin in thought of what to write. Lisanna sat on one of the beds, also in thought. "Ok how about this…" started Lisanna, Lucy started to write down what she said.

Dear Master Makarov, sorry for not saying goodbye in person, but Lucy and I are staying in Clover town for a while. We have our reasons so please make sure no one comes looking for us. Say goodbye to Mira, Elfman, Gray, Erza, Levy and Happy for us ok?

You can tell them where we are, but as for everyone else don't say where we went. As for Natsu, just tell him this please: We are leaving for a while because of you Natsu, and you know why.

-Lots of Love, Lucy and Lisanna

"Sounds good!" complimented Lucy. "Now that that is done, let's go do the job. We can send the letter on the way." The two girls exited their room and headed into the kitchen to find Anda who was making dinner.

Lisanna and Lucy offered to help, so while they cooked they talked about the flowers and what they were used for. "These flowers," Anda explained, "are purple with black centres and dark blue outlines. They have powerful healing properties and a quite valuable. You can normally find them near a water source, which is why wild animals may be around."

Lucy and Lisanna absorbed the information. After they had eaten, Lucy and Lisanna headed to the post office where they gave the letter to a mail bird.

They headed back to Anda's small house and slept. Their sleep was interrupted by nightmares and bad dreams. Both girls found themselves waking up crying during the night multiple times.

Good or not? If you are a StiCy hater, don't hate, just don't read. (I'm aiming that at someone I know IRL) So yeah, R&R and yeah... Dunno what else to say...
