Disclaimer: Sadly, I do not own Fairy Tail [coz if I did, it would turn out to be a more of a NaLu love story than that about magic, friendship, family, etc story. I think you get the point. Haha!] Fairy Tail belongs to the ever-awesome Hiro Mashima!

So…this is the first chapter of their trip to Destiny Island [yep, that's where Sora lived but don't blame me fore loving the place. You know, having vast oceans, white sand and paopu fruits! Haha!] I have prepared so many pairings here like Juvia x Gray, Levy x Gajeel, Erza x Jellal, Sherry x Ren, and whoever gets's to my mind! But most of it is Natsu x Lucy. Please don't kill me for having oh so awesome pairings! Haha! So…wanna begin? Of coarse you do, who the heck has time to read my nonsense feelings anyway? Well, here you go, impatient people. Don't forget to R&R later Okay?

Destiny's Christmas Gift

Chapter 1: Morning Madness

"But our waking life, and our growing years, was for the most part spent in the kitchen, and until we married, or ran away, it was the common room we shared." -Laurie Lee

It was already twilight, the cold breeze tickling her neck. She looked into those deep black eyes of the one she dearly loved. He looked back at her ever dazzling brown eyes that shimmered in the light of the setting sun. He placed half of his scarf along her neck line while the other half was still on his, lessening the distance between them. He wrapped his arms around her waist as she ran her fingers on the spiky rose-colored hair of the dragon slayer. Being wrapped in each other's warmth, the cold breeze could even get near the heat of their love. As the inches between them gets lesser, the breath of each other colliding with their face, slowly they are nearing to a warm, tender kiss on the lips. Just as their lips were about to touch-

"Lucyyyyyy," an annoying sound echoed in her ears. The blonde twisted from her sleeping position and covered her head with her fluffy pillow. It's 4 am in the morning and yet here he is already, the spiky, rose-haired dragon slayer she was just dreaming about, who obviously intended nothing else but to ruin her perfectly good dream. "C'mon Luce! Wake up already!". Realizing that she had just dreamed of that guy beside her bed, that guy waking her up right now, she blushed harder, causing her to bury her head more under her pillow to prevent anyone, especially him, to see her face burn.

Natsu kept on trying to wake her up, even though she is already mentally awake. After a few moments of trying so hard, happy thought of an idea. Lucy could only hear the murmuring then suddenly, silence filled her room. Thinking of what could be the cause of this instant quietness, she peeked from underneath her pillow and saw no one. Relieved with the thought that the two idiots had already left, she sat straight up then sighed, "What's up with those two? And… why would they come here… this early?" Lucy has been in the guild for more than a year now. She looked at the clock that has been ticking there on top of the study table just a few steps away from her bed. "4:37 huh? Have they been trying to wake me up for that long? What's that all about?" she said as she scratched the back of her head and stared out the window.

The cold wind of December started to flow through her open window sill, brushing off her hair from her face. She was still lost in her thoughts when suddenly a glass from somewhere broke. Lucy's eyes widened at the thought that the sound may have come from the kitchen. Her kitchen. She hugged her pillow tightly as her imagination ran wild. "W-who's t-there?" She cried out, slowly turning her head to the direction where the kitchen is supposed to be. But no one answered.

She tried to stand up from her bed when see noticed a black form walking in her kitchen. "W-who are y-y-you?" She shouted, pointing at the black image. Apparently, the "image" heard her and started walking to her. Fear climbed up Lucy's spine. She tried to gather enough courage as she could but she just fell on her knees, down to the soft covers of her bed. "S-stay away!" She screamed, throwing the pillow to the image getting closer now.

As the image slowly walked nearer, the light started rising from his foot up to his head. The image had a knife on one hand and red eyes that looked fierce. He positioned the knife like he was about to kill someone. Lucy screamed with all her might. All of a sudden, the pillow she just threw at the intruder went flying back to her, hitting her in the head. She shook her head and lost the fearful thought she just had. She opened one of her eye slowly looking at the place where the man should be. "Just my imagination," She sighed.

"Oi Lucy! What's all the screaming about?" Natsu's head suddenly popped in front of her. Shocked, Lucy pushed him to the floor and pointed "WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE?"

"What do you mean by 'still doing here'? We never left, you know."

"Then… the image in the kitchen was…"

"ME!" Natsu grinned raising his hand in which he held the knife in.

Out of instinct, Lucy kicked his hand, letting the knife drop down to the floor, "Why the heck did you scare me like that huh?" She angrily shouted at the pink-haired dragon slayer who was currently rubbing his sore hand.

"What did I do to you? And in addition, that did hurt you know. Thinking that Happy and I thought of a great idea to surprise you." He said looking up to the blonde.

"Serves you right for scaring me to death. And what do you mean by saying 'great idea'? That really wasn't great, you idiot! It nearly killed me!"

"It is a great idea! Don't call me idiot, idiot. At least I'm not the one who snored away the whole night."

"And what's great about your idea?"

"It was Happy's idea for your information! Right, Happy?"

"Aye, sir!" said the blue cat flying out of the kitchen.

"Well," she began, "I don't care. Just stop intruding my apartment and start getting out."

"But Luce! We're not yet finished with the-" His words was cut when Lucy's hand formed into a fist.

"GET OUT." She blurted pointing her other hand on the open window, "NOW"

Natsu picked up the knife, stood up then grinned at her, "If that's what you want, Luce! And gray thought I'm the 'hot-headed' one… probably he hasn't seen you like this, right?"

"I'm not hot-headed Natsu," She said placing her hands on her waist, "You probably don't understand, do you? I've never had enough sleep in days! And now that I've finally had the time to rest and sleep cozily and uninterrupted in my bed at my house, you and that cat of yours suddenly come along and start to scare me 'till my heart jump out of my own chest you idiot!" Emphasizing every word with the hope that he'll understand what she meant.

Natsu just stood there, his expression blank. "Hey, did you even understand what I just said?" Lucy continued, raising her hand in front of his face, "Oi Natsu! Earth to Natsu! What's wrong with you? Mind still processing huh?" She joked.

Natsu's eyes widened in realization and blurted out, "I'm gonna be late! Erza's gonna kill me! No… Erza's gonna kill us!"

"Why would Erza do that?" Lucy asked, curiosity filling her face, "Why would Erza kill us… for being late?"

"I don't have time to explain it to you, you wouldn't understand it anyway. Just get your stuff fixed, take a bath already, pack your things and head straight to the port, okay?"

"Wha- Why? What's with all the packing?"

"I can't believe you forgot! Look at your memo pad sometimes would you, that's the use of it right? Gaaaah! She'll kill me if I'm late!" Natsu cried scratching his spiky hair. "Okay! I really have to go now, see you later Luce! Happy, let's go!"

"Aye!" Happy replied taking Natsu by the shoulders then started flying out of the window. But before they could get far from it, they came back, "Hey, you're still standing there? Snap out of it and get yourself fixed. You have only ten minutes left Luce. If you're late, I'll be so sorry for you." Natsu laughed.

"Natsuuu! My magic's about to run out! And you too, have to fix your stuff don't you?" Happy cried, struggling in carrying the laughing mage.

Natsu stopped and started panicking. "Oh yeah! Wait for just a second, just a mere second, okay happy?" He faced Lucy, who was still staring blankly at the two, "Luce, don't forget to brush your teeth after eating your breakfast okay?" He smiled, "Alright happy, let's go." And just like that, they disappeared into the light of dawn.

"Breakfast? What does that mean?" Lucy said, snapping out of her thoughts. She walked into her kitchen; a shocked expression can be seen on her face. Her table was filled with scrumptious food, banana sour cream waffles, apple cinnamon empanadas, apple yogurt parfaits and baked apple and cheese casserole. "How did he do all these? I didn't know Natsu is great at cooking. Well, to start it, I didn't even know he could cook!" Lucy's blank face turned into a sweet smile, "Erza would love to have a taste on this."

Her body suddenly shivered as she remembered the reason why Natsu and Happy bugged her early in the morning. As soon as she remembered, she ran to her study table and took a peek at the calendar.

December 24

A trip to Destiny Island with Fairy Tail. Gonna depart from Harjeon port at 5 in the morning. Don't forget to buy gifts from the stop-over in Christmas Alley.

She forced her eyes to look upon the clock beside her. 4:52. it seemed to her like her clock was insulting her. If it had a mouth and tongue, it would have said I told you so, else, it would have turned into erza's face, her eyes burning with anger and shouting Get your sorry ass here right now!

And with those thoughts, she ran speedily across her apartment, as if it was rush hour. She ran fast, going to every room, picking up stuffs she would need for the trip. She entered her closet and threw all her clothes to the waiting luggage beneath it. Finally, she took a quick bath just to clear her face from that I-just-woke-up look that she would really hate if anyone, besides Natsu and happy, would see it. She brushed her hair, fixed her dress and when she was finally contented with her look, she took her luggage and locked the apartment.

She happily trailed down the path near the canal going to Harjeon port. Smiling at the thought of spending and entire week with Fairy Tail on such an incredible time of the year, she couldn't have wished for anything better. She still had 3 minutes left before the appointed time of meeting. Her tummy rumbled and she remembered the food Natsu made for her this morning. With the feelings of regret and fear fighting in her head, she thought of going back to get the food he made.

Just the thought that he cooked the food for her made her blush hard. And just like that, she ran back to her apartment. She packaged the food beautifully on a bento box. She blushed again at the thinking that this was all his doing. Him… Natsu… her Natsu… "No, he's nakama. He's just… my best friend." She sighed.

Suddenly, the image of an angry Erza wearing her purgatory armor popped in her thoughts. 5:01. "Stupid clock," Lucy murmured as she literally flew out of her apartment into the open streets as the sun showed signs of rising. "I'm…late…I'm late...Erza's…gonna…kill…me!" She said in between breaths. And there she is, the blonde celestial mage, running for her life towards the rising sun, looking forward to new memories to be made.

Well there you go! Chapter one's done. I had a lot of ideas when I was writing this story,so I guess some parts were kinda confusing, I know -.-" .. Well that was because of those ideas that keep on entering my mind whenever I type new sentences.

I already have a plot for Chapter two, but your reviews can add up to the heat! I'm all fired up! So don't forget I take criticisms positively since they can help me improve but don't try to get on my nerves to much with those flaming words okay? Else, Natsu's gonna burn your sorry head to ashes! Haha! Kidding.

Well, 'till next Chapter!

Chapter 2: Port Problems

Levy: Well, here we are at Harjeon port! We're still waiting for everyone here. It's still early, but I guess some people just don't know how to wait!

Gajeel: Are you talking 'bout me, shorty?

Levy: Of coarse not! I'm talking to myself you know. Don't be too obviously pointed out.

Gajeel: Shut it, shrimp. Geez, why do the troublemakers have to come early? Can't they just come late and be punished? I just can't wait to leave this place now!

Levy: Well, you should learn to wait, Mr. Grumpy. Lucy's not even here yet!

Gray: Shut up both of you! I couldn't concentrate beating up this flame head!

Juvia: Gray-sama. You could concentrate on looking at Juvia if you would like... :''

Natsu: Shut up all of you! I'm all fired up for the next chapter!
