Yeah. This is a thing now. After every arc, I'll do two chapters of break or maybe one if feel like it or the driest chapter is too long. So now that the Battle of Fairy Tail Arc is over, a short break. It's also going to be short because now I have a curfew of 10:30 so I have to be quick about this. I don't want to get in trouble.

THE COMMONER AND THE
   PRINCESS
    (AND THE THEIF)

~~~~Lucy

The sun has risen. Time for my day to begin. I got up from my bed and my Maids came into my room. The maids began choosing my outfit and helping me put it on.
"Are you ready princess?" My maid Meyrin asked. (Anyone get the reference?)
"If you mean to meet the man in supposed to marry than yes. Not like I have a choice." I sighed.
"I'm sure he'll be super nice, yes he will." Meyrin smiled as she finished putting on my dress.
"I hope so." I smiled back as I looked down at my pink and white dress. I sighed and began to walk downstairs. I decided to leave my hair messy and down. My hair was naturally curly so it looked as if I curled it.
  As I walked downstairs, I saw a man in a tux with orange hair and blue eyes hidden behind a pair of glasses stood tall talking to my father.
  "Good morning pa." I said in a sweet voice as I walked down the stairs.
  "Good morning sweetheart. Meet prince Loke. I've been talking to him and I believe he would make a great husband for you." My father smiled nudging Loke causing Loke to laugh a bit.
  "Good morning princess Lucy." Loke bowed.
  "Good morning Prince Loke." I smiled doing a small curtsy.
  "Let's take this conversation to the kitchen shall we?" My father asked.
  Both Loke and I nodded as we followed my father to the kitchen. We all sat down as the Maids and butlers made our breakfast.
  "So, back to what we were saying. Lucy, it's up to you if you want to marry him but I will say that he would be an amazing husband." My father said.
  I nodded. "I bet he will." I smiled. As we continued to talk. A loud crash went off near the front door. We all stood up and raced to see what was going on. We saw a girl in a dirty white dress. Her hair and face was covered by a sown on tan hood. She was holding a black scythe in her hands.
  "EVERYONE BUT YOUR HANDS UP!!! HAND OVER 30 THOUSAND JEWELS AND A WEEKS WORTH OF FOOD AND I'LL LEAVE PEACEFULLY AND NO ONE GETS HURT!!!" The girl commanded.
  I turned to my father and he simply nodded showing he would do as the file said. The Maids and butlers did as the girl said. They had the money in one bag and food in another.
  The girl took the two bags and looked at my father.
  "Thank you. I'm sorry." She whispered and took the bags then ran off.
 
~~~~Raphna

  I ran off with the two bags in hand. I decided to run to the nearest town. The town was pretty big. The crowds were bigger than the town though.
  As I ran through a crowd I bumped into a boy. He had pink hair and blue eyes. He was carrying a blue and white cat.
  I fell back, letting go of my bags.
  "Are you ok miss...?" The boy asked.
  "Yes I'm fine now move!" I yelled grabbing my bags and tried to run off but the boy caught my wrist.
  "Hey! No need to be rude..." He noticed my bags. "Did you steal those?"
  "That's none of your business!"
  "You did!! That's it! I'm turning you in!!" The boy yelled.
  I tried to swing my scythe at him but he grabbed it with his other hand. I noticed his cat was on the floor by him.
  "Come on. Let go." He commanded as he dragged me back towards where I came from. His cat followed.
  I struggled to get out of his grip but he wouldn't let me go!! "LET ME GO!!!"
  "No. Where did you get this stuff?!" He asked.
  "Like I would tell you. Let me go!!! You bastard!!!" I screamed as he continued to drag me.
  "Nope. I'm going to check the one place I know you can get this much money. The Heartfillia's." The boy sighed as his grip on my wrist and dragged me back to the castle. "Can I at least know your name...?"
  I sighed. I'm screwed either way. "Shadow Thief."
  "Your real name silly." The boy laughed.
  "Raphna."
  "Pretty name. I'm Natsu." The boy smiled. "You seem like a great girl but stole something so I have to do the right thing and turn you in. I'm sorry."
  "I understand..." I sighed.
