A Love Story
Once a upon a time, there was a beautiful princess who ruled over the country. She was indeed rich, powerful, and intellectual, not to mention kind. Also, she was known throughout the whole country, Fiore, and had a strict father. This certain princess, who is may known as the perfect human being, was named 'Lucy Heartfillia.' The Heartfillia family was in charge of the Love & Lucky hotel, which was quite succesful.
But all of a sudden, Princess Lucy was called upon her father. Her father informed Lucy that it was time to get married and have children, but Princess Lucy didn't want to get married to a person she barely even knows. Yet, the strict father insisted his daughter so that she can give birth to an heir. The next head of the family would have to take over the company, and be successful. The king and the princess fought and fought until...
"I'm sorry Lucy, you would just have to put up with it. I have already decided the candidates of your future finances. End of discussion." demanded her father.
"But-" Lucy hesitated, but suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." ordered the king. Then a rose-haired servant came in through the door.
"Your tea sir." said Natsu Dragneel.
Natsu Dragneel was a poor fire mage, who can barely pay for his own food, and water. He lives deep inside the Heartfillia manor. Natsu was also a secret mage from the powerful guild 'Fairy Tail' and does missions only during the night time; the reason for this is currently unknown. He also is in love with Lucy Heartfilia; I mean... she's beautiful, intelligent, and rich. Who doesn't want her?
"Put somewhere on my desk." said the busy king who just went back doing paperwork. Natsu put the cup of tea on his desk, and when he was just about to turn to the door he asked,
"Princess Lucy, do you want anything?"
"I'm fine, but thank you." Lucy smiled, and Natsu felt like he died and went to heaven. The moment Natsu found out it was just his imagination, he left the room.
'She's so cute.' Natsu blushed bright red and dropped his knees to the floor. Then he got up and did what a servant would usually do. Then while walking he bumped into someone on the shoulder and fell to the ground.
"Hey! Get up! Apoligize right now!" yelled a well-dressed squinty-eyed man.
"Huh? Oh I'm very sorry." Natsu bowed and apoligized.
"Aw, come on don't be hard on the pooy guy." smiled an orange-headed man with glasses.
"You're too nice, Loki." scowled the squinty-eyes man.
"And you're too mean, Gray." Loki said calmly as both men walked down the hall towards the king and the princess.
'What jerk.' thought Natsu as he dusted his pants and continued walking. 'I really hope that those two aren't Lucy's finances... or at least not the one called Gray.'
Both men walked down the long refined hall, trying to find their destination.
"Jeez, what's up with the place. My castle isn't even close to being this big." complained Gray.
'I'll say." agreed Loki. Then they reached a massive white door with gold carvings.
"This must be the place." said Gray.
"Definately."
Gray and Loki, both princes of faraway lands and childhood friends. Also, both princes are the official candidates of being Lucy's next husband. They are also physically powerful, for Gray is an excelled ice mage, while Loki can cast unique spells no human can do, quite unique if I say so myself. Gray, Loki, and Lucy all have the same amount of royal status, and power.
Anyhow, both knocked on the heavy door and was called to come in.
"Ah! It's you two!" said the king with pleasure. "I welcome you to our manor. I hope you enjoy to your heart's content."
Then Princess Lucy stepped in and smiled. "Welcome. I'm Princess Lucy, nice to meet you."
Both men could only blush and stare at the lovely princess, who could may become their wife.
"Hello." Gray and Loki bowed.
'I want her.' thought Gray and Loki in unison.
"Lucy." said the king, "These two are your official candidates for your future husband."
Lucy was wide-eyed, she didn't want to be rude and reject them both all of a sudden by saying she didn't want to get married. But what did she know about them, she'd would first have to know them both and choose at least one of them. Little did she know, the person she'll choose would be an entirely different stature.
-Night Time-
'Yet the day passed so quickly...' Lucy sighed in exhaustion. Then someone knocked on the door.
"Come in." said Lucy while regaining her posture.
"Sorry to bother you." said Natsu as he peaked through the open door.
"Oh, Natsu was it?"
"Uh, yea."
"Then, Natsu. I have a request."
"Yes, of course. What is it?"
"Well, I some problems and I really need to discuss it with someone...so... will you hear me out?" asked Princess Lucy.
"Sure. I mean, I mean of course." panicked Natsu.
"No, no, it's alright. I actually want you to talk normally with me. Okay?"
"Sure, why not? You seem like a fun girl." grinned Natsu. Princess Lucy blushed as she saw the most wonderful smile ever. No one has ever want to make her smile by just smiling, except for her mother. Natsu soon grabbed a chair and sat down.
"So? What's the problem?"
"Umm... Right now, I'm sure you heard but, my father is forcing me to get married and have children. I don't want to get married to someone I barely know, and I barely love."
"To tell you the truth, I really don't understand, but I do know what you got to do: tell your dad."
"How? He's strict and never listens to me." Princess Lucy's beautiful face turned sorrowful. Natsu felt a little guilty.
"You have a balcony around here?" asked Natsu looking around.
"Yea, right over there. Why?"
"Follow me." Natsu walked over to the balcony and opened it wide open. Lucy followed and walked over where Natsu was.
"It's beautiful." said Lucy. Right now outside Lucy's balcony was a night sky full of bright stars, and the town was filled with wonderful lights.
"Ain't it?" Natsu grinned at Lucy. "I found this out when I went up on the roof secretly. You should go up with me sometimes."
"Yea I should." Princess Lucy replied. "Also, where do you live?"
"Here in the manor, up on the attic." Natsu pointed up on the ceiling.
"Oh, I never noticed now that I think about it."
"Well, I do wake up around 5 in the morning to get ready, and stuff."
"5?"
"Yup."
"I usually wake up at 8 sharp!" said Lucy who was now amazed. Natsu giggled.
"What is it?" asked Lucy.
"You can make funny faces. You see, everyone here in Fiore thinks you're beautiful, intelligent, and so... refined. I'm pretty amazed that...umm.. you can be amazed...hmmm... I don't think that makes sense."
"You mean you're amazed that I can be amazed of other things."
"Yea that! Wow, you are smart!" Natsu put his elbow on the hand rail and put his head on his hand, and smiled at Lucy. Lucy blushed and unconsciously leaned closer, slowly closing her eyes but then someone knocked on the door.
"Lucy. It's your father. I have something to talk to you."
"Okay father." said Lucy. "Natsu you have to hide here. Make sure not to make any noise."
"Umm... o-o-okay?" said Natsu. 'S-S-She was going to kiss me. She was actually tried to kiss ME! Today's the most happiest day ever~'
While Natsu daydreamed and drooled over the thought that Lucy tried to kiss him, Lucy was regaining her composure and said in a very sweet voice,
"Come in father."
"Ah, Lucy. I need to tell you something."
"Yes, what is it father?"
"About your fiances... I decided that you'll get married within the month."
"A month!"
"That's right."
"That's too soon!"
"Most people get at least 3 months."
"Well, my decision is final. Good night." Lucy's father closed the door behind him leaving Lucy with tears in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Natsu finally snapped out of it and entered Lucy's room.
"Hi Lucy!" Natsu said bursting in, but then seeing Lucy crying.
"What's wrong? Did I do something? Or was it your father? Come on, smile!"
"My father..." said Lucy trying to explained the situation.
"Your father what?"
"My father said to choose a fiance within a month."
Natsu became wide-eyed. 'A month? Lucy's going to get married within a month? Lucy's going to be taken away from me within a month? I absolutely cannot let that happen. Okay, I'll try to spend every moment within the month to get close to her.'
"Lucy."
"Yea."
"Before you know, you get married to some guy you don't know or love, let's have lot's and lot's of fun!"
"Really?~" asked Lucy with gleaming eyes.
"Yup! Anything you want!"
"Okay! It's a promise."
"Anyways, starting tomorrow, we're going to do anything that you want. So you better get some sleep." said Natsu.
"Right."
That night, Natsu tucked Lucy in, and he as well went back to bed. Also on that same night, both Natsu and Lucy smiled in their sleep.
