My sweet 16

by Limetrea

It is one week until Lucy is finally turning 16 years old. As one of the wealthiest families in Magnolia, naturally, she will be having a sweet 16, and there is one person in particular she wants to invite. Lucy has been drooling over Natsu for weeks, not knowing how to ask him out. She decides to ask his good friend Gray for help, which means spending lots of time together.

This is my first ever fan fiction, so please be kind. Also, english is not my native language, so I apologise for any errors.
Fairy Tail does not belong to me in any way, neither does the characters. Sadly...

Chapter 1: The perfect plan!

-So… have you gotten any closer on asking mister dreamy out? Lisanna asked with a smile.

Naturally, she knew the answer. If Lucy had gathered up the courage, and on top of that gotten a yes, Lisanna would have been the first to know.

-It's not that simple, though! Lucy complained, feeling quite sorry for herself.

Lisanna jumped up behind her and caught her in a squeezing hug. A few people shot them some looks as they hurried to class.

-You just have to do it. No short cuts!

But a short cut was just what she was looking for. A simple way for knowing whether or not he would say yes. Natsu wasn't exactly known for dating a lot of girls. Or boys, for that matter. As most people at school he'd had some romances, but they never developed into anything. A lot of girls had tried too. Maybe I can make him fall head first in love, was a common phrase heard whispering amongst giggling girls. Lucy wasn't above them, as shown by her deep interest. She could not possibly fall in love with anyone else ever again, this was her big love. She was sure to convince Lisanna of this at least once a day.

-If you girls don't hurry, you'll be late.

A shirtless guy looked down on the two girls –And I doubt oh mighty father would like that, he continued with a smirk in Lucy's direction.

Lucy smiled back at her childhood friend. After his family died in a fire he spent much time with them. He had his aunt, but she worked a lot and wasn't that much home. Therefore he had spent many days with Lucy, playing and such. They had been quite close growing up, but lost contact over time.

-If it were up to my father, I would be at the private school, not here, Lucy said with a small laugh –Should I tell him you said hi?

-Yeah, you do that, he nodded before he ran off.

He had caught up with his pink haired friend, whom he nearly never was seen without. Natsu. As Lucy watched them head to class an idea formed in her head.

-What's that grin for? Don't tell me you have a crush on Gray-sama as well? Lisanna laughed, somewhat confused.

Lucy did not answer her question, simply let out a small, giggling laugh. It was perfect! Why had she not thought of this before?
