Hey Guys! This is my new Christmas story. If you didn't already know, I have written other stories on here, but I'm not that great at updating them. I decided to write this story to help me improve at that and spread around christmas cheer. Don't worry, this is not a christian story. I figured that even though they aren't christian in Japan they still celebrate Christmas as a holiday to spread the mood of giving and all that, so yeah. I personally love Christmas and am so excited to write this. My plan is to write an update everyday, so wish me luck. Also, I decided to call this story Let is Snow fairy because Im trying to capture the feel of two songs. Let it Snow and Snow Fairy and write a story about it. I hope you enjoy! ~Mathmaddy
November 30-25 Days to Christmas
Lucy sighed as Natsu ran around her apartment destroying anything and everything in his excitement. "Natsu, calm down," she said pleadingly, pretty sure he wasn't capable of it. Luckily, or maybe not, for her, Erza and Gray also stepped into her house. At first, she was relieved for the extra help in containing Natsu, before she realized they were just as bad as her. Lucy just sweatdropped at the sight in front of her.
Natsu was still running around the room shouting, Erza was chasing him with her sword and destroying everything in her path, and Gray, well, Gray was on his own looking through everything in her apartment. Lucy felt her anger build up slowly, but it was the holidays, so she tried to keep her attitude least she wasn't alone for the holidays. That's when Gray pulled out her mother's favorite book. Erza's sword cut right through it and then, Natsu's flames incinerated the whole thing beyond repair.
"Everybody out of my house!" screamed Lucy, absolutely furious. All three rampaging mages turned to look at her before fileing out the door, all except Natsu, who used his usual method of the felt like crying, that was her last connection to her mother, the one thing she took before leaving, and now,since the heartfilia mansion had been burned down, she couldn't just walk in and take something to remember her mother by.
Lucy brushed away the thought of crying and went outside. The three were still there, but they all stood in silence. Natsu was the first to speak.
"H-hey, it's okay, Luce."
"It's NOT, okay, Natsu. Do you know how precious
that was to me? And now you just… just leave, and don't bother me anymore." Lucy turned away from them.
"I-I'm going to the guild."
"What! You said you'd help me pack!" Natsu's voice was full of hurt, but Lucy ignored it.
"I said I'm going to the Guild!Now leave!"
"B-But you promised you'd help me pack?" Natsu whimpered.
"You can do it yourself! Besides, I didn't promise, I offered to help."
Natsu started to cry, but Lucy didn't see it, she had already run off towards the guild. Natsu slowly stumbled to his apartment. "Yo, Happy," he greeted his cat half-heartedly, who immediately flew over to see what was wrong. Natsu slumped into their crummy and smelly chair that had more stains than he cared to count.
"Natsu, what's wrong?" asked the cat.
"Lucy broke her promise, no her offer to help me pack. And now she doesn't want to see me ever again."
"I don't think that's true Natsu, she probably just needed a break from you."
"No, she TOLD me she never wanted to see me again, and to leave her alone." Natsu sighed, before getting up, walking over to his closet, and shoving random clothes in the bag, not caring what he packed. He just threw the bag over his shoulder and headed off towards the guild angrily. "Come on, Happy!"' he called.
When he got to the guild, Mira immediately walked over to him.
"Do you have underwear?"she asked cheerfully, but not convinced he had packed some.
"Hm, yeah." he said, wondering if he had, not that he cared.
"Ok, let me just check through your bag then and make sure it's ready to go. You did follow the checklist, right?" Mira opened his overly stuffed bag.
"Umm, Natsu, you packed underwear, but um, that's ALL you packed."
Natsu's face flushed red with embarrassment as the rest of the people in the guild laughed at him. He looked at Lucy pleadingly, asking for help with his packing, but she just turned away from him.
"Come on, Natsu. I'll help you pack." They walked to his house through the mud.
"I wish it would snow, he mumbled."
"Don't worry. Where we're going I'm almost positive it will snow for Christmas." Natsu smiled at the thought of that.
"So, what happened between you and Lucy?" she asked, changing the subject knowing Natsu couldn't do the same. And she knew that Natsu would tell her everything she wanted to hear even if he didn't mean to unlike Lucy, who would keep everything from her.
"N-nothing happened between us. What makes you think that?"
"Well, I thought, Lucy was going to help you pack." Mira said ever so innocently.
"She was, but she broke her offer to help," he replied putting emphasis on offer.
"Oh, I see. So, why'd she change her mind?"
"She got mad at me, Erza and ice princess. You know, it's not fair."
Mira was surprised that Natsu had initiated a sentence on his own that he seemed to put a lot of thought into. She hadn't expected him to answer her questions on his own.
"What's not fair Natsu?"
"Well, Lucy told me she didn't want to see me again and wanted us to leave her alone."
"What's not fair about that. Weren't you in her house?"
"Well, yeah, but she wasn't upset before. She only got upset after we burned a book or something, but what's more unfair is that she didn't consider our, my feelings when she said that."
"What are your feelings, maybe if you tell them to her she'll understand a little better."
"W-well, I-I'm not sure exactly what I'm feeling, but I, I think that I want to see Lucy again, even if she doesn't want to see me, s-so I think it's unfair that she gets to decide."
"Natsu, I think"
"I- I think I'm in L-love with Lucy." he whispered, interrupting mira.
"That's what I think too." Mira giggled. "But why'd you whisper, no one's going to hear us here."
Natsu looked around and realized they were nearly to his secluded house. "I think you should tell her."
"What? tell who?"
"Tell Lucy you love her."
"I-I can't do that, she, she's still mad at me. And what if she doesn't love me? Or what if she did but she doesn't anymore? I, I need you to help me impress her.
"Sure, but first, I'll help you pack, after all, a good wardrobe is the first step to impressing a girl, especially if you plan on wearing clothes other than underwear.
Lucy stared at the clock. What was taking Natsu and Mira so long? What were they doing at his house what if, no. Lucy forced her mind off the topic, she didn't want anything to do with Natsu anymore. If anything, she should be worried that they would miss their train. Speaking of which, she needed someone to sit with since, yeah. She walked over to Levy.
"Hey, you make plans to sit with anyone yet?" She asked, trying not to let on her desperate situation.
"Oh, uh, I think I'm sitting with Gajeel." She tilted her face down to hide her blush.
"Ooho, Levy, I didn't know you were so smooth."
"A-Am not, besides, aren't you sitting with Natsu?"
"Nope, some uh, things came up.
"In that case, I can sit with you. Gajeel has pantherlily."
"That's ok, I wouldn't want to ruin the mood between you guys.
"N-No I insist!"
"Well, if you insist, I guess there's nothing I can do. Oh, did you hear the news Levy?"
"Huh? What news?"
"I heard that the winter resort we're staying at opened while we were, asleep? Lucy questioned the word before moving on. Anyway, I heard that a lot of powerful guilds vacation there every year."
"Really, like which guilds?"
"Well, I heard that Blue Pegasus goes there, mermaid heel, Lamia Scale, oh, and I heard that this year, for the first time, Sabertooth is going too. Aren't you excited! I've never stayed at a famous resort before, well, not really anyway. Not for fun."
They were interrupted when Mira and Natsu walked in.
"Well, if we want to get there before night, we better leave right away," she said calmly. "We are running a bit late after all. Of course, it's only an hour, so we should be fine."
"An hour, what about our train, didn't we miss it?" asked multiple people.
"Oh, we have a private train that we're taking since there are so many of us, and so many of us who would cause trouble. Well, hurry along, can't waste more time."
They all rushed to the station as quickly as they could, filing into the train and taking their seats before setting off on their journey to the mountain resort. Lucy, was slightly lonely and bored without the trouble-makers right beside her, but she just told herself that this was the life she wanted. A calm peaceful life, like riding this train, which was peaceful for once, without Natsu right there about to puke on her.
