Hello Fairy Tail lovers! I'm pretty sure we have a large amount of NaLi fans and NaLu fans here. I hope the both fandoms enjoy my fan fiction as there will be either a NaLi par or a NaLu pair, plus everyone's favorites and a probably never before seen pair in the history of Fairy Tail fan fiction! Yay! Anyway, I'll keep this short, this is not the original, but a revised version.

Time period: Most of the characters will be from the Edolas arc and back, because that is where was when I started writing this. There will be no Grand Magic games and Tenrojima will not create a seven year gap, at least not yet. Story starts two years after Lucy joined Fairy Tail and because I really don't know the time that Lisanna died, we will make it three years prior the beginning of the story.

Natsu-21

Lucy-19

Lisanna-18

Ill let you read now, enjoy!

Chapter 1

The plan

~Lucy~

Winter mornings had always been the hardest to wake up to for Lucy. The bed would always be warm and the sheets soft and fluffy. The rest of her little apartment would be as cold as ice, but not as cold as the outside.

Lucy yawned and sat up in her bed. She looked out the window and saw the blanket of snow that covered the town.

Bleh, I hate the cold, She thought as she snuggled back down in the covers, engulfing herself in the warmth that would soon leave her after she parted from the safety and protection of her sheets and made her way to her favorite place in the world: Fairy Tail.

Suddenly, yet softly, something under the blankets grabbed her waist and snuggled up against her. she wasn't scared; she knew who it was.

"Natsu. . ." Lucy slowly pulled back the covers, revealing Natsu's sleeping face. She had to admit, he looked pretty cute when he was sleeping; nothing at all like the fire breathing monster that destroyed everything everywhere he went.

"Natsu," Lucy brushed back the hair that covered his face. She leaned in real close, putting her lips to his ear. "Natsu," Her quiet and soothing tone seemed to relax the sleeping dragon slayer. "Natsu," she said again, a bit harsher than before.

No response.

Lucy used her finger to tickle the back of his neck, causing him to giggle. "Natsu," she said sweetly.

"nnnngh, yeaaaah?" Was Natsu's halfhearted reply.

Great, he was still asleep.

Lucy ripped the sheets off the bed and screamed, "Get out of my bed!"

"Five more minutes, Lisanna," he murmured. "Then, we can go hunt for snails."

Natsu pressed his head against her chest like a pillow.

"Kyaa!" Lucy screeched, detaching herself from the pink haired idiot. She tumbled off the bed, waking Natsu from his sleep.

"Lisanna?" Natsu looked up and around the room with a grin on his face, finally setting his eyes on Lucy. His smile dropped. "Oh, it's you Luce."

Lucy remembered Mira telling her about Lisanna, the girl who made Natsu smile. Her death had left him depressed and weary, that was, until Lucy came along a year after. Lucy wished that she had met Lisanna before she died, but life isn't fair and never was.

She looked at Natsu, noticing he was in nothing but a pair of boxers.

Natsu had quite the body: stunning abs, a deep tan in just the perfect shade, not to mention his perfect face. The dragon-like features that all the other slayers had, slitted pupils and dangerous teeth, that made Gajeel scary, had the opposite effect on Natsu. It made him attractive, sexy even. He was even better looking than the men that Lucy had dated. But, there is more a man than his looks, which Natsu obviously did not have. Though he did have a brain, and a pretty good one at that, he was very incapable of using it properly, making him the exact opposite of boyfriend material.

So, yes, seeing her best male friend half naked disturbed her. It was not her place to be seeing him like so, and she did not take any interest in seeing the previously mentioned.

"Natsu, could you please put some clothes on?" Lucy asked, picking herself up, grabbing Natsu's attire and handing it to him, shading her eyes in the process.

"Yeah," Natsu took his clothes from Lucy, "sure, whatever."

What happened to the cheerful Natsu?

…

Ever since Lucy had woken Natsu up, he had been in a dreary mood. She assumed that when he woke up, he had realized that Lisanna was gone once again. He had managed to put a smile on his face by the time they had both bundled up and left Lucy's tiny apartment.

Together, they entered the doors of Fairy Tail. Lucy saw Natsu trudge wearily over to where Gray and Elfman were having a burping contest. Ew.

Lucy was worried about Natsu and his depressed behavior. She went to the person who knew everything about everyone, Mirajane Strauss.

"Good morning, Lucy!" Mira smiled, "I saw you and Natsu enter together. You have a thing going?"

"Nah," Lucy replied. The only problem with Mira was that she often made incorrect assumptions. "I found the little pervert in my bed this morning, trying to keep warm."

"Oh, really?" Mira said, "It has been getting colder lately, but why didn't you kick him out like you usually do?"

"I tried to wake him up, but he just mumbled something about Lisanna and when he woke up, he seemed all depressed."

"Oh," Mira frowned, he cheerful attitude gone. "This is the fourth time this month he has had such an unpleasant disposition, each time having to do something about Lisanna." She poured herself and Lucy a drink and sat down. "I am actually quite worried about him. He seems to be missing her a lot lately," she sighed, "I don't know if this has to do with her eighteenth birthday coming up, but it is a possibility."

Lucy was unaware of Lisanna's age, but she had known that it was close to her own. "When would her birthday have been?"

"A month from tomorrow; they had planned on going to get a marriage license then." She paused with a smile on her face, probably imagining a bunch of Natsu and Lisanna babies. "I know it sounds odd knowing that Natsu would ever want to get married, but it is true. He deeply loved her."

"Burping is a man!" Elfman yelled from a distance, clearly stating his victory.

"Wow." Lucy said, ignoring the outburst. "I never knew that Natsu could love anyone like that. He seemed so care free when I first met him. He must be hurting deeply inside."

"Which is why I want to try to do something to make him feel better," Mira told her. "You and Natsu are best friends, no, even better than that! Like brother and sister! He needs someone close to make him feel better and take away the hurt."

"I don't think I can do much," Lucy looked down at her cup. "Mira, you should have seen how heartbroken he looked when I woke him up."

"You have to at least try!" Mira pleaded. "You are the only one who can do it. No one is as close to Natsu as you!"

Lucy thought for a moment. What Mira said was true. Who hung out with Natsu all the time? Who fed him? Who got dragged all over Fiore for Natsu's crazy activities?

Lucy stood up with a smile on her face. "Alright, I will try my best!" she said as she left Mira to look at the quest board. She closely examined each ad and took her pick. She knew she could make Natsu feel better. She was the person who knew him best. She walked over to the table where Natsu was watching Elfman and Gray were continuing their contest.

"Natsu," Lucy said as she tapped him on the shoulder, ignoring the disturbing sounds coming from the 'otoko' and the stripper. "You up for a quest?"
