Natsu Dragneel was a very lonesome boy to say the least. He enjoyed painting beautiful scenes of nature and people, one of which was his crush, Lucy Heartfilia. Natsu went to Dreyar Preparatory School in Magnolia, Fiore. For summer vacation, his parents decided to send him off on a cruise that lasted the entire summer. When he first caught wind of this news, he was quite frustrated. However, he learned that it would be traveling around the coast of Fiore. This immediately excited him for he had wanted to paint scenes of different areas of the country, other than just Magnolia. Little did he know a special someone would be on the same ship, the S.S. Fairy Tail.

Lucy Heartfilia was a very popular, and pretty girl. All the guys flocked to her, but she always rejected even the most popular, because they only 'loved' her because of her voluptuous breasts. At the moment, she is talking to her best friends, Juvia, Erza, and Levy on Skype when they bring up a cruise around Fiore. Juvia, Erza, and Levy had bought tickets when they found out that their boyfriends, Gray, Jellal, and Gajeel had mentioned that they were going. Lucy, being as rich as she was, bought tickets that day and began to pack, because the boat left two days later.

June 15th, the day of the cruise, Natsu woke up early. Natsu had packed the day before so he decided to jump in his 2014 Ford Explorer and head to 8 Island for the breakfast of champions. Natsu was salivating just thinking of his order, two bacon, egg, cheese and pancake sandwiches (like a McGriddle), two sides of hash browns, and a Cinnamon Melt.

On the other hand, Lucy, who woke up late, rushed to get her bags and have her butler, Capricorn, drive her to Hargeon in her Land Rover. Lucy was starving but had to wait until she was on the boat.

At the port, Natsu was jumping up and down in excitement. When he was about to go on board, he caught a glimpse of brown eyes and blonde hair that could have been no one else but Lucy.

While Lucy was wandering around, looking for her friends, she saw tufts of pink hair and immediately thought, 'Oh God, that weirdo is here.' However, when she was staring at Natsu, someone snagged her purse and began running through the crowd. Natsu, who was ever vigilant, dropped his bags and ran after the thief. Although Natsu wasn't known to be athletic, he was quite fit, but he didn't show it. His lean frame allowed him to catch the perpetrator quickly, taking the bag and returning it to its' rightful owner.

"Hey, Miss, I got your purse for you," says Natsu.

"Oh thanks," Lucy replies while turning, "Holy crap!" she exclaims when she sees Natsu.

"Hey, Luce."

"Don't call me Luce, that's weird Natsu."

"You know my name?"

"Of course, I'm not that shallow."

"Well I have to go get my stuff, would you like to come with me so no one decides to steal your stuff again?"

"I would love to Natsu."

Over the next few hours while they were looking for Levy, Juvia, Erza and company, Lucy and Natsu got to know each other quite well. When they eventually found them near the pool, Gray was the first to say something.

"Hey, Flame Brain, what the fuck are you doing here?

"Popsicle Bitch, you better knock it off I was just escorting a pretty lady so I will be on my way now."

"Hey wait, don't you want to hang out with us?" Lucy questions.

"I have to go to my room to call Igneel, I'll probably start a new painting while I'm at it. I might catch up with you tomorrow. See ya later."

"Hey wait," Lucy calls, "Here is my number."

"Thanks. I'll see you guys later okay?"

"Can't wait!" they all say except for a grumbling Gajeel.

When Natsu arrives at his room, he immediately wonders why there is a shade next to the door, for obvious reasons. When he unlocks the door and walks in, he notices a large white and red bed in the center of the room, a wooden desk, a balcony complete with a table and two lawn chairs, and finally and odd looking hole in the left corner of the room, roughly 3 feet high and 4 feet wide. He ignores this for the moment and goes to the desk, where he finds a note. The note is from the Cruise Liner, Magic Chariot. It reads, "We are very sorry for the inconvenience, but due to a lack of rooms and a very influential guest, you are going to share a room with them; however, your meals will now become free, as payment for your sacrifice." 'I wonder who it could be' comes to the forefront of Natsu's thoughts.

Then, his door handle begins to jiggle and Natsu hopes that his new 'roommate' will be fun to live with. Natsu is astounded due to the fact that the person opening the door was none other than Lucy Heartfilia.

"So you're my roommate," Natsu states, startling Lucy.

"What the fuck Natsu, why are you in my room?"

"Well, due to lack of space, it looks like we will be bunking together for the next 3 months."

"This is going to be interesting."

"Quite. If you don't mind, I will be on the balcony, painting."

"So much for relaxing." Lucy mumbles.

On the balcony, Natsu begins to paint the waves, beachfront, and sky in painstaking detail. Lucy wanders out onto the balcony to see his progress from the last twenty minutes. When Lucy steps into the sun, she see a canvas filled with all of Natsu's talent.

"God damn you're a good artist."

"Shit Lucy, you scared me." Natsu shrieks. "I'm glad you think so, but maybe a 'Hey Natsu beautiful weather isn't it' would have been nice."

"You want to go do something?"

"Uh yeah, just give me a little bit to check out what is in that weird ass hole."

"What hole?"

"That one," Natsu points.

"That is really weird while you check it out, I will call guest relations to see why it is there."

"Okay, sounds like a plan."

While Natsu is crawling into the gaping hole, Lucy calls guest services. What Natsu and Lucy find out is quite a terror instilling. The hole leads to a small, 15 by 20 foot room, which includes a bed, small bathroom, and a mini fridge, stocked with waters and food. Lucy's findings were even creepier. According to the staff, there was a creature of great danger aboard the ship. Its' location is unknown; although, it is well known that it is quite dangerous, so the rooms are installed for the safety of the passengers, and the shades and to make the door blend in with the wall, effectively hiding the guests.

"Oh my fucking god, Natsu this is insane, I'm glad that I am sharing a room with you now."

"Luce what happened?"

"Apparently, the is some thing on this ship that can kill us!"

"Oh, that's what the room is for, isn't it, to make sure we don't die."

"Basically," Lucy cries.

"Lucy, don't cry, come here."

Lucy then walks over to Natsu and allows herself to be embraced in his strong arms. 'Oh my god, her boobs feel so good against my chest' Natsu thinks. 'Damn, he is so muscular, keep it together Lu, don't blush' Lucy thinks while her face heats up.

"I got you, Luce, I won't let anything happen to you."
