Chapter 1- Slow motion moments…
Lucy's POV
The sound of music aired through the streets and the dancers swarming in the whole city dancing, singing, and most of all having the fun times of their lives, but for me and my friends, that time we were just playing our favorite sport, basketball.
They say that life is "fast and loud."
There is a constant sound…
And a beat to follow,
There's motion to be accompanied.
Me and my friends were playing basketball in our original basketball court. Natsu and I wore some kind of mustache to represent our team, while Gray and Jellal just wore their regular basketball outfit. The first quarter was nearing to an end and I had the ball. I looked around for Natsu, my best friend, and saw him getting checked by Gray.
"Best Catch!"I called out to Natsu, her Best in other words.
Natsu caught the ball and drifted away from Gray. Both of our opponents yelled out: "Guard them! Faster!"
I then found another way to get away from Jellal and headed closer towards the basket. She heard Natsu say, "Here!"
"Best!"I did a close to perfection layup and shot our last shot for the first quarter.
Natsu coming out of nowhere, smacked the ball out of the court in happiness as the ball slid down the hoop.
Natsu and I chest bumped. "Whoa! That's it! Woo!"
After taking a short break, we continued to play basketball.
Natsu had the ball and made his way to the hoop, he did a perfect layup, yup he did, and dunked the ball.
On the other hand, Juvia, my other best friend cheered by a bench.
We again, chest bumped. "Woo! See that?"
But sometimes there are moments that's slowing,
moments when it feels like the world stops,
the sound is weakened,
the motion begin to slow,
When the opponents tried shooting the ball, Natsu blocked it and caught it.
That was the slow-mo that somehow happened.
I couldn't move, I was staring at my childhood best friend that was running in slow motion with the ball in his hand.
That was the moment my father kept telling me about,
He said that, you will know that you're in love,
When your world suddenly becomes a slow motion,
According to him, the same thing happened to him when he first met my mother.
That's how he knew that he found the girl he will marry,
Time stopped and the whole world disappeared,
Because he only sees the queen of his heart.
That time, my father was in a basket ball tournament and lost that year because he was too fixated at my mother.
But my father felt that he won the jackpot because of my mother.
He also said, that his world also became slow motion when he first saw me.
Love at first sight too.
"Wow you look just like your mom, beauty queens!"My father said in awe.
But sometimes, the happiness that my father feels in every slow- mo moment…
I really don't know when it comes to me, I feel sadness and fear.
"Princess Lucy, stay here okay? I'll just buy something…"My mom said as she held onto my shoulder.
The first time I felt my slow-mo was the last time I saw my mother.
"MOMMY!"
Because I felt scared.
I chased after my mom, ran as fast as my legs could, but even my running became slow.
Weeks past and I was left alone with my dad, that day my dad told me to play outside for a while so I did.
A basketball came rolling and I picked it up. A guy with pink hair, red shirt and shorts, and a scarf came running and said "Oh, I'm sorry!" He then took the ball from me.
I smiled at him, I had no front teeth so I looked kinda funny.
His friends then came laughing at me, I hurriedly covered my mouth in embarrassment.
"AHAHA! DENT TEETH!"
The boy then turned around and screamed at them, they ran away in fear.
"What? Is that okay?"He asked.
I still covered my mouth. "Come on smile! They're gone already!"
"Look at me…Here like this!"He pinch his cheeks while smiling, it showed his teeth.
I copied what he did.
I lost my mother but,
I've got a best friend!
Years past, Natsu and I became best friends.
"Here catch!"
I caught his shoes.
"Oh? What will I do with this?"I asked Natsu. He walked up to me.
Maybe it seems like that when you're having fun.
"You should wear this when you play basketball."He said as he shows me the details of his Jordan shoes. Did I forget to say that I'm the tomboyish girl? No? Then now you know. But I'm girly, just in an excessive way.
I looked at details of the shoes and smelt it."YUCK! IT'S STINKY!"
"IT SMELLS REALLY BAD!"
"Oh really?"He rapidly kneeled down and took my shoe off.
As I try to take my shoe from him, he keeps turning in a different direction.
"HEY GIVE IT BACK!"
"What stinky? Yours smells bad too!"Natsu said laughing.
"IGNEEL! IGNEEL!"Grandine, Natsu's mom yelled out.
Natsu and I stopped what we were doing and looked at the scene that was rapidly happening in front of us.
"Talk to me Igneel! It's embarrassing to our neighbors!"Grandine said to Igneel, who was currently piling his things in the compartment.
Igneel stepped into the car and drove off leaving Grandine crying.
I looked to my best friend who had a sad expression plastered on his face.
That day wasn't happy…
another slow-mo moment…when I first saw my best friend cry.
"Best!"I said.
He wiped off his tears and looked at me. I placed his Jordan shoes down and pinched my cheeks, expanding it enough to show off my teeth.
He looked at me chuckling.
(*´▽`*)
Another slow-mo moment with Natsu is when we were playing basketball, as I re-phrase.
I got easily nervous…
Because I've never had a happy slow-mo before!
"LUCE!"
I thought that there's something bad that might happen again.
But that moment, I felt different.
I've seen nothing, only him! My best friend…
"LUCY-CHAN! WATCH OUT!"Juvia yelled out.
"LUCE!"Natsu yelled out as he throws the ball.
But why was I just standing there?
The ball came closer and closer.
Natsu looked really worried.
THE BALL HIT ME RIGHT IN THE FACE.
"OWWW!"I groaned in pain.
But really, I fell to the ground looking up at the sky, not giving any attention to my friends who were worried sick, I was thinking about Natsu…
"LUCE!"He ran to me. It looked like he was pinning me down but really, he was kind of on top of me, looking at me straight in the eyes.
"Are you okay?"He asked calmly.
"I love you!"I said.
He looked at me confusingly.
Our friends were laughing at me and so was he.
He took off my mustache while chuckling.
I then smiled, confident. "I love you, Natsu."
That was my slow-mo moment…Moment that I want to fast forward so badly!
To forget it, and to consider it a really bad dream!
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it!(:
