Based off of the 1978 movie Overboard not the 2017 remake which in my opinion was completely uncalled for and will never top the original.
Natsu Dragneel couldn't believe his luck. It made him feel like prayers were always answered. A wealthy heiress named Lucille Heartfilia was offering him six-hundred dollars to remodel her closet. He needed this money big time because he had fallen behind on bills and his job as a carpenter wasn't really raking in any dough until today. He had to make sure that he did a good job or those bills would never be paid and he might get kicked out of his house. At nine'o clock in the morning he arrived at a private yacht which was owned by the millionare Dan Straight who at the moment was trying to shoot an arrow. He was large, strong, but not very smart looking at least not to Natsu.
"Excuse me." He said.
"You interrupted my concentration!" He snapped at Natsu. "Now I have to do my thinking process all over again!"
"Sorry but I'm looking for Miss Heartfilia."
"That's Mrs. Straight to you! She's my wife after all!"
"Then why does she still go by her maiden name?"
"She doesn't!"
"She did when she called me."
"Well she...I don't...Nevermind! Lucille! The carpenter is here!"
"Well it's about time." He heard a shrill, impatient voice say.
He looked to see a very beautiful and attractive blonde haired woman wearing expensive clothes and jewelry come down stairs. The rumors weren't exaggerated, she definitely was the Heartfilia family's most lovely jewel. But he would soon learn that her beauty was skin deep.
"So you're the carpenter." She said looking at him.
"Yes ma'am, Natsu Dragneel."
Her eyes scanned him skeptically. He was both what she did and what she didn't expect. She was expecting the carpenter to be a dirty, poorly dressed, pot bellied, and extremely unattractive old man and while he was indeed poorly dressed and a little dirty he definitely wasn't pot bellied, old, or unattractive. He was very young, about maybe twenty-six years old. Handsome, muscular, fit, and she would take it to her grave before she admitted it but he had a very attractive body.
"What took you so long?" She asked him.
"I'm not late ma'am, I got here at nine'o clock like you said."
"You got here at nine'o five."
"So I'm five minutes late it's not that bad."
"Nevermind, follow me."
He led her upstairs into her bedroom and then pointed him over to her walk in closet.
"As you can see my closet is no longer capable of keeping my clothes and shoes in order so I must have it remodeled."
"Alright I'll get started right away Mrs. Straight."
"It's Heartfilia!" She snapped.
"But you're married."
"So?"
"So wouldn't you take on your husband's last name?"
"My husband's last name is stupid, I refuse to be known as Lucille Straight."
"I guess I can understand that."
"I expect my closet to be done in two days, no longer than that or you don't get paid and while you are doing your work you are not to bother me, talk to me, or look at me. Just do your work and leave me alone is that clear?"
He didn't respond and looked away from her.
"Do you I need to repeat yourself?"
"No but you said I was not to talk to you or look at you."
"Not when I'm talking to you, you idiot!" She said coldly. "Now as I said you are to do your work in two days and during that time you are to leave me alone. Is that clear?"
"Crystal." He said smirking.
She then waltzed out the room and went to get a drink. Walking out she accidentally tripped one of her shoes and fell over causing the skirt of her dress the fly up and exposed her caboose to Natsu which he couldn't resist taking a peek at.
"Nice bottom." He wanted to say but he held his tongue. He noticed that she had a birthmark just a little ways under her behind that was in the shape of a heart.
"Don't look at me you pervert!" She snapped. "Get to work!"
Since she was born Lucille had been waited on hand and foot by servants and staff while given anything she requested by her father no matter how high the cost. She spent her days attending grand parties and dinners while being showered with nothing but expenses and finery. Now here she was married to an extremely rich millionare and living the life that many women dreamed of and she wasn't happy. In fact she was rather bored and aggravated with her life but she would never admit that so instead she acted out in a snobby and haughty way.
"So why did you hire that guy again?" Dan asked her.
"To remodel my closet how many times must I tell you that?" She answered annoyed.
"Your caviar Madame." Her loyal butler Makarov said bring her a sliver tray of caviar.
She scooped up some of the caviar into her mouth and then spat it into a napkin.
"Ugh! What is this gelatinous muck? Makarov caviar must be hard and round and should burst in your mouth at just the right moment. Throw that out!"
"Yes Madame." He said taking it back to the kitchen.
"Pst! Hey gramps!" Natsu whispered. "If she's not going to eat it I'll take it."
"Be my guest. Hate to see expensive food like this go to waste."
"Thanks." He put some of it in his mouth. "Oh this is good! Got anymore of this stuff?"
"Yes and we also have beef wellington if you're interested."
"Oh yeah keep it coming!"
For a day and a half Natsu worked non stop on Lucille's closet while dealing with her insults and her unbearable attitude. The only thing keeping him from going off on her and calling it quits was the money she owed him and the great food they had there. He didn't think those rich people should complain because the food served was incredible.
"You know forks were invented so man could make a pretence of separating himself from the apes." She snarked at him once as she watched him eat.
"So are thumbs." He mumbled under his breath.
"What was that?" She asked.
"Oh nothing just my stomach anyway you'll be happy to know that I'm finished with your closet."
She went into the back of her bedroom and found a mechanical closet filled with plenty of compartments to hold all of her clothes and shoes. It had a little switch that could move the compartments around and make room for future clothing and stuff she may buy. It was probably the best closet anyone had ever made but Lucille was not one for gratitude.
"Well what do you think?" He asked her.
"What's it made of?"
"Oak."
"Oak?"
"Yeah is that a problem?"
"Yes! Closets need to be made of cedar wood otherwise we get months."
"Well there's not a huge moth problem on the cost but if you want me to rebuild it in cedar I can do it but it's gonna double the money you owe me."
"Double it?"
"Yes."
"Why on earth would I double my price?"
"Because I've already done this."
"I'm not paying for your mistake. That closet was supposed to be made of cedar."
"You may have wanted cedar but you didn't ask for it."
"Why should I have to ask? Any dolt with half a brain knows that all closets are made of cedar."
"Not when they're in a boat by the sea. So you can either pay me the six hundred you owe me or you can double it and I'll redo it in cedar."
"How about this you're fired."
"What?"
"You heard me. You're fired."
"But I need that money."
"Not my problem now get out of here."
"Fine just give me the money you owe me and I'm out of here."
"The job was not done to my satisfaction so I have no reason to pay you for anything."
"Oh I got news for you lady nothing is ever gonna be done to your satisfaction! I've seen you, you have more money than God and you live like a queen but you're so damn bored that you have to invent things to complain about!"
"That's quite enough!"
She walked out of the room and outside on to the boat but Natsu wasn't done with her yet. He was determined to get the money she owed him so he followed her.
"You aren't happy with your life and you don't wanna admit it so you act like a pain in the ass to everyone! The closet was fine you just needed something to take up you're nail polishing, toe polishing, rich bitch, sun tanning day!"
"How dare you!" She cried angrily shoving him off the boat and into the water.
"Damn you!" He shouted swimming back up.
"That'll teach you not to speak to a lady like that!" She retorted.
"Lady my ass! You get back here and give me the money you owe me!" He demanded.
But she just threw his tool belt and tool box into the water.
"No! Not my tools!" He shouted as he watched them fall in. "You crazy bitch! I need those tools to make a living!"
"Ask me if I care!"
"You'll pay for this! If I ever get my hands on you you're dead! Do you hear me?! Dead and buried!"
Lucille didn't know this but Natsu desperately needed that money. Ten years ago he had gotten his sweetheart Lisanna pregnant so they married young and would be living a difficult life together but they were happy because they had each other and their happy family. But then Lisanna died from cancer six years later and now he had to raise their four children by himself. They lived in a small house on the side of a dirt road that had little electricity and plumbing. He had a small amount of money so he had to always work making it nearly impossible for him to take care of the house or spend time with his kids. He had three sons and one daughter. His oldest Igneel was ten years old and the leader of the group who would often led them into trouble, after him was the twins Tobias and Gale who were eight and constantly at each other's throats, and finally there was his youngest and only daughter Nashi who was six years old and a tomboy. They also had one pet cat named happy who was a lot smarter than most cats and would often try to take care of the children when Natsu was a way but there was only so much a cat could do. The only person who could possibly control his kids was his friend Erza who would sometimes baby sit them but she had a busy schedule too.
"Yeah that's it keep scrubbing!" The angry red head shouted to the four children she was forcing to wash the floors. "Next time you'll think twice before putting glue in my shampoo bottle!"
"Hey Erza." Natsu said when he got back. "Thanks for watching the kids while I was gone. They didn't give you too much trouble did they?"
"Oh yes they did."
"Sorry about that."
"Don't feel bad I can handle them so how did it go."
"Horrible."
"What happened?"
"Well the lady who hired me turned out to be a stuck up bitch who likes to ruin people's lives and she ruined mine by not paying for all my hard work and throwing my tools into the ocean."
"You lost your tools?"
"Yep now I have no way to feed my children or my cat."
"Don't worry I'm sure Jellal can loan you some tools."
"Gee that's sweet Erza but I can't keep relying on you two to help me, the kids, and Happy."
"Hey if you're worried about giving us trouble it's not trouble at all. Granted your kids are wild animals but we love them like our own."
"Thanks but they're my kids and I need to take care of them."
"Look I gotta get back to work. I'll see you later."
"Okay bye."
He sighed and went to sit down on the porch of his house. His cat happy, sensing his discomfort walked over to him and nuzzled his leg.
"Thanks Happy. I really needed that." He said while stroking the cat's ears and wondering how on earth he was going to support his family.
Meanwhile back on the yacht, Dan had decided to go sailing that night to different areas of the world.
"I don't get why we have to go sailing." His wife complained. "Why can't we stay back at my mansion?"
"I've gotten bored there sweetness." He said. "I want to see new places, see new people."
"That's what the news and television is for. I swear Dan you have such- Dan my wedding ring."
"What about it?"
"It's gone. I've lost it, go get it for me."
"Not now Lucille my show is on."
"Fine I'll just go get it myself."
She huffed then got out of bed and went up on to the board of the yacht and began searching for her wedding ring. She found it stuck in a small crack by the edge of the boat. As she tried to reach for it she accidentally tripped and fell overboard.
"Ahhh!"
SPLASH! She landed right in the ocean.
"Makarov! Dan! Help!" She screamed. But Makarov at the moment was listening to music so he couldn't hear her but Dan could hear her just fine however he just ignored her. "Help! Help! Help!"
But no one on that boat would be helping her and she would soon find herself floating toward a new home, a new life, and a new man.
