I just got back from a mission with Natsu, and Happy. The mission was simple defeat the dark guild, but it was different with Natsu. He got pissed off and ended up destroying four buildings. Most of the award money went to repairs.

"Man! Now how am I going to pay the rent, and its due in a week," I asked Mira frantically.

"Hey! Lucy cheer up I'm sure you can get the rent money just in time," Mira said smiling.

"Thats easy for you to say. You don't have to worry about a fire breathing dragon." I exclaimed. I felt something slither around my neck. I knew it was Natsu trying to comfort me. He always does this when I am feeling depressed.

"Hey Luce whats the problem," Natsu asked with a worried face. I pushed him away wanting some personal space.

"Could you please leave me some room. I am really frustrated now." I explained to Natsu. The only thing he didn't know was that he caused it. He stared into my eyes, and I felt a warm feeling creep across the horizon of my cheeks. He gave a stare that could send you up to the high heavens.

"So Luce why you frustrated," Natsu asked calmly. He had that face that made me you melt like ice in warm temperature.

My face was probably the same shade of red as Erza's hair. I couldn't even think straight. So I decided to turn back to Mira.

"Please leave me be for now, I don't want to get angrier than I already am," I stated quickly. He patted my shoulder, and went to where Elfman, and Gray were sitting and started talking.

(At the table)

"She's apparently mad at me," Natsu said confusingly to Gray. Natsu laid his head on the table all depressed. He saw Lucy laughing and talking to Levy and Mira.

"Natsu! You need to be a MAN!" Elfman exclaimed.

"Shut up Elfman you know nothing about manliness," Natsu stated as quietly as a Ninja can be. Even though he is not cut out to be a ninja. Natsu was frustrated as well because he couldn't decipher the aroma around him partner.

(Back to Lady Land)

"Hey Lucy here's your fruit smoothie," Mira said bringing the blonde her beverage. Mira set down the drinks and looked behind Lucy to the boys table. Where Natsu, Gray, and Elfman were currently sitting at. Mira had a plan coming along for month, and now was the big ticket in.

"Hey Lucy," Mira said. I answered back with a "Hmmm."

"You said earlier that you are having trouble with your rent!" I looked up at her with curiosity to hear what she was going to say next. I nodded, and Mira pulled out a piece of paper out of her pocket. She handed it to me. At the exact same time Natsu came over, and took the paper out of my hands.

"Hey! I was reading that!" I yelled at him. He read it and then went back to we're the boys were sitting. What was that for. He just Ames the paper out of my hand. Then walks off like nothing happened.

"Mira-San I would like to take the job!" I said to her. She gave me a heart filling smile before...

"Lucy, I have to tell you one thing. That is a duo mission," Mira said.

"Ehhhhh! Fine ill go around ask!" I said and stormed off to ask the others.

I went up to Gray and asked, but he said he was going on a mission with Juvia. I then went to Erza, but she is going to visit Jellal in jail. (Yeah he just got arrested.) I had no other choice went up to Natsu, and asked if he would like to come on the mission with me. Without warning he pulled me out of the guild, and he started to drag me down the street. I looked up at him his face was blank. No emotion. We reached my house, and for the first time in a century he actually used the door.

(Few Minutes Later)

I walked in from the kitchen holding to glasses of water. He quickly chugged it down, and placed the cup on the table in front of us. He turned is head toward me with a grin.

"Why did you drag me all the way to my house for?" I asked curiously.

He took out the paper from earlier and held it out to where I could read it. As I was reading the paper I saw the words couples, cruise, and worse of all 3 weeks. Damn It I am going to kill Mira!

"Are you sure you want to do this," Natsu asked me. I nodded my head at the lose of words. He put the paper back in his pants pocket and got up from the couch. He helped me up, and we decided leaving early in the morning. May I add without Happy! (YEAHHHH Screaming inside right now!)

(The Next Morning)...

I did my usual routine take a shower, brush my hair, pick out the most reveling outfit I own, and do my makeup. I walked to the train station; we had to go to Hargeon. I took a seat on a bench, but realized it would be another 15 minutes till Natsu got here. I got my favorite book out of my bag. Its called Starry Heavens.

I was sitting there for a good few minutes until Natsu came up to me witha big smile.

"Morning Luce," Natsu said.

"Morning Natsu! Ready to go?" I asked. He and I walked onto the train and he took a seat right next to me. When the train started to move he collapsed onto my lap, and groaned in pain.

(Natsu's Thoughts)

"She smells so nice; just like fresh flowers and Vanilla." I thought to myself. I want stay like this forever. I nuzzled into her and could feel her breathing. I can't wait for the cruise, but the enemies will be a problem.

(Lucy's POV)

The train stopped at the station, and the conductor announced that we have arrived in Hargeon. Natsu immediately jumped out of the seat off my lap. We robbed our luggage and made our way out to the harbor. It didn't take so long because I have been here a few times before.

"Hey Natsu! Remember the first time we were here?" I asked him. He gave me a puzzled look, and turned to face the other direction.

"Yes," was all he said. We stepped onto the boat, but he still was quiet. Is he angry at me for something.
Little did Lucy know that he was confused about his feelings for her.
