Chapter 1: In Fairy Tales

Lucy's P.O.V.

'In fairy tales the princess gets kidnapped by the 'evil' dragon and the night in shinning armor comes and saves her, then slays the dragon. After the princess is carried off into the sunset on a horse with her prince charming to live happily ever after. But what would happen if the princess fell in love with her kidnapper though?' I was thinking this while daydreaming out the window in Fairy Tail my guild that I care so deeply about. From the name of the guild is when I started thinking about all of that princess and dragon stuff. " *sigh*… I wish there was something I could do" I said softly to my self. I forced myself to look away from my daydream when I saw the person I was trying to get my mind off of, (trying now, trying and failing) , my feelings toward this pink-haired mage has grown since I have first met him. I've been feeling so strange when I'm near him like I sometimes want to snuggle closer when I sit next to him. After a few weeks I realized that my love for the pink-haired mage was now past friendship it is now that I realized that I love him.

As the pink-haired mage walked closer to her she noticed that he had a big grin even more so then usual. I was about to ask why he was grinning so much when he came up to me when he said " Luce! I found a great job for us to do! We're supposed to guard the guests at a masquerade ball in a place near here! So we don't have to take any transportation we can walk there! Plus we have to dress up for it so the guests don't get suspicious about us!"

I was about to say that I wasn't interested because it would be like a date with us dancing and all dressed up. I was going to tell him that I'd pass on the job I made the mistake of looking up into his onyx eyes. They looked so happy and excited to do this I couldn't let him down. So instead I said" Sure! I guess I could go Natsu!" After saying it I immediately regretted it because next thing I knew he was grinning even more and coming closer to my face, that caused me to blush, then he said " Good! I'll pick you up at your house around 5 'cause the party starts at dusk!"

I went home after that a bit flustered because at the guild he was so close to my face I had to fight the urge to grab his neck and pull him towards me and … I stopped reminding myself " I got to stop thinking about him he's my friend I'm sure he doesn't think about me in that way!" . When I looked up I realized I was at my apartment already, I entered my abode to get ready for the mission and to try not to think about Natsu until he picked me up.

Natsu's P.O.V.

"I can't believe I did that!" Natsu yelled at himself, he was at home lying on his hammock and covering his face with his hands. He was mad at himself for going so close to her face, it was obvious that the stellar mage didn't want to go with him to this masquerade ball, but when he saw the request something came over him and he didn't want to let anyone but him and Lucy to do the request. Ever since he had gotten over his anger against Gajeel (note this is after the time Gajeel joined the guild and the whole Laxus happening) he started feeling something strange when he thought, saw, or smelled (her scent now) Lucy.

"When I'm near her I just want to grab her and never let go" then a fade memory of Igneel telling him something popped in his head, he knew that it was important, but couldn't quite remember what it was. Then Natsu decided to try to think about that later, right now he needed to get ready for the job and pick up Lucy.

'Maybe I could try sleep to remember the memory, I always remember memories of Igneel when I sleep' he thought as he got ready and dashed out the door to Lucy's apartment. He grinned at himself for the genius idea he just thought of. Next thing he knew he was at Lucy's apartment and knocked on the door and called her name to let her know that he was there to pick her up.
