Kick Seventeen: Damn that Dan
Previously on FPG:

"I guess, but if any guy so much as walk by you, I'll kill him."

"Geez protective much?" Gray chuckled.

"That's because she's my princess, and the dragon always protects the princess, right?"

"How about I become the prince to save her then?" A voice interrupted, "Because you just muttered nonsense."

"Dan."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Dan."

The group of friends halted, staring at the brown haired male. Natsu glared, sending daggers of anger toward Dan. Lucy shook her head, gaining her composure.

"Wanna repeat that?" Mira sassily put her hand on her hip, glaring at him.

"You have ears," Dan shrugged, "You already heard me."

Lucy bit back her anger, inhaling a large breath, "Dan, I don't appreciate your commentary. Please stop."

Natsu continued to glare at Dan, making everyone look at him. Mira was fuming with rage. How dare he say that about Lucy's boyfriend? Mira glared with Natsu, Erza joining slowly after.

Laxus didn't do anything...seeing as he was beyond confused. He stood there, not showing any emotion. All he knew is that Mira's aura was growing by the second, and it was about to get heated...real fast.  

Lucy's eyes burned in fury along with Natsu, Mira, and Erza's. Dan grinned in satisfactory. "Oh Lulu, you don't scare me." Dan laughed, poking Lucy's nose with his finger.

"Don't touch me!" Lucy slapped his hand away, making Natsu grip her waist tighter.

"No touching," Natsu growled through gritted teeth, "She's mine."

"Lucy isn't some property that can be owned." Dan countered.

"Not unless I give him permission, and guess what? I do!" Lucy snapped, hugging Natsu.

"You'll be mine soon, Lulu." Dan grinned, walking away from the large group of people.

"He's horrible. How were you ever friends with that?"  Mira pointed toward the retreating figure of Dan Straight.

Lucy rolled her eyes, "It was a long time ago Mira."

"I don't like him; not one bit." Erza snipped.

"All those in favor that Dan is horrible, say I!" Levy yelled.

"I!" Everyone shouted in unison.

Natsu, Lucy, Mira, and Laxus all left from the group descending down the hall to the nurse's office. Mira held the door open, allowing all four to step inside.

"What do you brats want?" A pink haired old woman said to the teens.

"Hello to you to Aunt Porlyusica." Laxus groaned, taking a seat on the other side of the room, Mira joining him.

Lucy stood tall, looking Ms. Porlyusica in the eye. "Ms. Porlyusica, my eye is swollen, can't you see? Please take a look at my eye."

As Lucy sat down, Natsu was going from side to side, repeating the same question over and over. "Is she going to be okay?!"

"Natsu!" Laxus shouted, earning his attention.

"Sit down, shut up. She'll be fine. Let my aunt do her job." Laxus closed his eyes, knees crossed, arms crossed as he leaned into the chair.

Lucy rolled her eyes, focusing on the instructions given to her by Porlyusica. Natsu fidgeted in his seat, anxious to hear how his girlfriend was doing.

After twenty minutes of patiently waiting, Natsu finally received the answer he'd been waiting for.

"Lucy is doing just fine, it should heal within' a couple of days. NOW LEAVE!" All the teens scrambled to their feet, leaving the office in hurry.

"Well, isn't she a ray of sunshine?" Mira remarked sarcastically.

"No kidding, my aunt's a buzzkill."
