The Impossible Task

by FanTween18

During a strange dream Igneel contacts Natsu warning him that he has just one week to find a mate, who is willing to be his mate! Because when dragons "come of age" the they must find a mate for life. Natsu then realizes he has a week to find the girl he loves and make her his before the day, his birthday to be exact. On top off that there is a killer out to get fairy tail! R&R

1. And So It Begins

Hey waz up! right now its like 1:00 AM so there might be a few mistakes, but since I'm taking down My Misfortune, since not a lot of people seemed to really like it, I decided to write some more short storys and oneshots.

I dont own Fairy Tail in any way.. all rights go to the amazing Hiro Mashima.. who BETTER NOT KILL OFF MY NATSU-KUN!So enjoy :D

The Impossible Task

(Normal P.O.V.)

The pink-ette lay sprawled out on his hammock thinking of his previous day.

"God! That mission was so harsh on me and Luce... Oh right Luce, I hope she's doing alright, I mean she did seem pretty tiered..." He thought as his head began to whirl around the subject of a certain blond

"But she still looked so beautiful..." He continued in his mind before realizing what his last thought had been

"Wait?! What am I thinking!?" Natsu whispered sitting up carefully, making sure not to wake the sleeping feline next to him.

"God damn it, why has Lucy been taking over my mind lately?" The fire make questioned himself laying back down gently.

"Well whatever, I should get some sleep." He said to himself letting sleep consume him and his thought of the beautiful blond mage.

(Natsu's Dream)

"Natsu! Natsu my dear boy!" The red scaled dragon whispered shaking his son with a gentle claw.

"Huh!" The pink haired mage exclaimed sitting up as he gasped at the scene in front of him. He was back at the clearing with his father but he was still the same age he had been seconds ago.

"This is only a dream my boy! But I don't have much time... I'm communicating with you so I can explain something quickly!" The fire dragon began

"In about a week, when you turn 18, the time to chose your mate will come. You see, when dragons come of age they choose their mate and mark them. There must be someone you've been thinking about lately? Someone who is taking over your mind?" The beast asked as the pink headed mage began to understand.

"Well there is someone..." Natsu answered

"But how can I be sure it's her?!" He added worriedly

"Fuck! My times almost up! Okay you'll be able to tell it's her because you'll see your element behind her, now I must go! Be a good boy I'll see you soon.." The red scaled beast said as the dream started to fade

"Wait Igneel I have more questions! Wait..." Natsu yelled as the world turned into white nothingness

End of dream

"Igneel!" The pink-ette screamed as he sat up with his hand stretched out before him. Over his head a blue cat flew with a worried face and a scrunched up nose

"Natsu.." The Blue feline said laying a comforting paw on his partners shoulder.

"Oh... Sorry Happy I'm alright don't worry about it." The fire mage reassured shrugging of his best friend

"Well why don't be head to the guild for some breakfast buddy!" The dragonslayer suggested trying to change the subject as he stood up dusting himself off.

"Sure! Then I can offer a fish to Charla!" The flying feline exclaimed as he and Natsu began to race to the guild.

(At The Guild)

"Okay if what Igneel said was true, in a week I have to... Umm chose a mate." The fire mage whispered to his iron dragonslayer friend.

"Wait so you're telling me that Igneel didn't go over this with you before!" Gajeel said bit louder.

"Well yea. Did Metallicana go over this stuff with you!" The pink-ette shot back defensively

"Well yea no duh!" The black headed man said lowering his voice back to a whisper. After that the iron mage got up and began to leave, but before he was even half way to the door he turned around and said something that made Natsu freeze up.

"It's like getting married."

The poor pink headed boy was now begging to understand the intensity of the situation.

"Shit!" he cursed under his breath

"So I was supposed to get married before 18! That would have been useful information Igneel!" He thought throwing his hands in the air.

"Wait a sec! Oh shit! Igneel said my mate would be taking over my mind... Luce!" Natsu thought sitting up only to bring his head back down multiple times, crashing it against the table beneath him.

(Lucy's P.O.V.)

"I wonder if Natsu's done talking to Gajeel yet?" I asked Mira looking around, and noticed a certain fire dragonslayer sulking at a table in the corner of the rowdy guild.

"Hhmm? I wonder whats wrong?" The bartender asked herself aloud

"I'll go check on him!" I replied kindly, standing up and walking up to my best friend

Natsus Pov

I could feel her scent over powering me as she got closer. God she smelled good! Well this was the moment of truth anyway... if I saw fire behind her, she was my mate!

"Hey Natsu!" The blond greeted me with an angelic voice, looking up I braced myself, and just like I had predicted,

behind Lucy there was fire, every-where! Yup I was doomed! The one person I was in love with had no romantic interest in me what so EVER!

"Umm Natsu, is something wrong your staring at me!" she said, blushing furiously... wait blushing!

Lucy Heartphilia was actually BLUSHING because of me!

"Your still staring.." the smart girl remarked meekly

"Oh yea umm sorry.." I replied as calmly as possible, okay I needed to propose to Lucy Harphillia in less than 7 days.. OH SHIT!

TIIME SKIPXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

After ditching Lucy, witch I still felt terrible about, some serious thinking, and some talking and explaining to Mira, I had finally made a simple plan that would have me a wife by Sunday! My exact birthday! Now it was time to put this plan into action, it was only 3 in the afternoon anyway.

Step one : Dating Stage

(Lucy's P.O.V.)

"Hey Luce!" I heard an all too familiar voice yell from across the guild hall, turning around in annoyance I looked behind me only to find a certain pink headed dragonsalayer running toward me at full speed.

"AHHH!" I gave a loud wail as he reached me making me stumble back as my lower back hit the counter making me lean back into an arc shape.

When I opened my eyes Natsu had me pined against the bar counter, both his hands holding my arms lower arms against the hard counter as his body pressed against mine.

"Umm Natsu.." I whimpered as the guild went quiet, all conversations had stopped. And everyone's attention was on me and my idiotic best friend. The fire mage leaned his head in a bit closer, now our foreheads where touching

and his lips were only inches away from mine.

"Yes.." He replied calmly yet very strong and intimidating. You could hear gasps from all over the room and various girly screams, probably from Mira and Levy.

"C..can..yo..you..g..get off please?" I stuttered feeling the blood rushing at immense speed, my legs felt like jello, and I could feel my heart rising to my throat.

"Hmm.. No. Not until you do what I tell you to at least." Natsu replied playfully

"And what would that be?" I asked raising a curious brow and regaining my confidence.

"Go out with me Lucy Heartphillia."
