Hey!

So this is my first story that I decided to write. Complete NaLu, rated T for later chapters and Language. Maybe other pairings

I've started to feel like a lecher after reading people's stories for ages and not giving anything back, so decided to write this.

Any criticisms accepted, and if you want me to include any ideas/couples then just tell me!

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail! (Struggled to say that, after all I really wish I did own it )

Chapter One – That Unexpected Thing

Natsu's POV:

"LUCY! Hurry UPPPP!

Jeez, what the hell is taking her so long" Natsu muttered under his breath. Why do girls take so long to get ready? I mean, I just put my clothes on then eat.

From Lucy's window he could hear her rummaging through her drawers, swearing under her breath. Her voice was then drowned out by a pissed off Gray.

"Oi! Why the hell are you out here flame-brain. We were meant to meet an HOUR AG...!" As this was being said Natsu turned and swung his fist in to Gray's face.

"What an unpleasant voice you have, Stripper"

"What the hell you squinty eyed bastard!"

A black aura appeared behind them quickly.

"Gray! Natsu!" When hearing the voice, Natsu and Gray leaped into each others arms hugging each other tightly, fearing for their lives.

"You shouldn't fight!" Erza walked towards them slowly. Her armour clanking together with every step

"We're not fighting! Are we N-Natsu?"

"A-Aye sir!" (Natsu's Happy impression=me laughing)

"Natsu, why didn't you and Lucy meet us at the guild" Erza shot a glare at Natsu "you should ALWAYS arrive on time!"

"Tch" Natsu put his hands behind his head and turned away from Erza, his nose turned up. Erza's eyes narrowed.

Gray's POV:

That idiot.

I watched as Erza landed a perfect hit (What else is expected from the mighty Erza) straight in his face. Sending him into the wall of Lucy's apartment block.

At the sight of Natsu's complete failure, a smile played on my lips and I let out an insulting snort towards the fallen Natsu. He shot me a glare and clenched his fists, but didn't attack me. After all Erza was watching, but I had no doubt that he would continue this later when Erza wasn't around. I was looking forward to it.

I watched as Natsu stood up and dusted himself off. "Yeah well, I'll go and get Lucy, then we'll be off, she's the one that isn't ready." After telling them this, Natsu jumped up to Lucy's window and then went inside.

Lucy's POV:

Where is it, where is it, WHERE THE HELL IS IT.

Oh Great! I glanced at my clock, SHIT!

I turned back to my room. I had dislodged everything, but still I couldn't find it. (if you are wondering what she's looking for then you'll have to read on. Mwah ha ha)

Outside of the flat I could hear that Natsu had been joined by two people, Gray and Erza probably, I quickly dismissed them and carried on with my search.

"AH, I FOUND IT, YES!" I looked at the crumpled letter in my hands.

Flashback

(What the Letter contained- what could it possibly say!? I don't know what it will be yet!?)

"Hm, where's this letter from?" At the bottom of the envelope "Two Friends" was written. Lucy stared at the letter. "Ew! Stalker letters" She chucked the letter into the bin and sat down at the table, opening the Weekly Sorcerer which had also arrived in the post. After five minuets of staring at the magazine, Her eye's travelled to the bin. "Well, it wouldn't hurt to see what they have to say, after all I bet they're just going to tell me about my amazing look's"(oh Lucy, why are you so big headed, just kidding!) Lucy collected the letter from the bin, her thoughts running wild at what compliments were waiting for her to read. She opened the letter. As she began to read, her face became worried.

Dear Lucy,

I know that is has been a while and that you probably won't remember us, but we wish to meet up with you again. We have heard about you leaving your farther and joining fairy tail, and about you disappearing for Seven years without ageing, so we would like too see how you are doing. Please meet us at your Guild on the 10 of February.

From

A childhood friend.

Hey Lulu!

I bet you don't remember us!

I'm not allowed to mention our names because it's meant to be a surprise for you so I'll just call the other guy Baka. Baka's terrible at putting together sentences isn't he Lulu! He sounds like a total stalker!

Anyway, Please, please, please meet us at Fairy Tail Lulu; I really want to meet all your new friend's!

I see you soon Lulu!

From the best friend ever!

(They're meant to be bad at writing and seem like stalkers)

When she finished reading the letter, her face was still.

"it couldn't be, could it?" A smile broke across her face.

End of flash back

Natsu's POV:

Why's Lucy ready? And what happened to her room!?

The sound from Lucy grapping the letter drew Natsu's attention to it.

That note in her hand, I've got a bad feeling about it.

"Hey, Lucy what's that?!" I asked suddenly.

Lucy's head whipped round towards me, it was obvious that she didn't know I was there. For some reason I got annoyed, I mean she wouldn't notice me because of that letter!?

A huge pain in his gut stopped his thoughts. (Poor Natsu! Can't even think in peace) Lucy had given him a flying kick to the stomach, sending them both out of the window and into pavement outside, next to Gray and Erza.

"Lucy!" I shouted. Not only had she kicked me out of the window, she had also used him to soften the impact for her (She's standing on top of him with her feet together and arms towards the side- that's gotta HURT)

10 Minuets later

(she's finished explaining about the letter and her suspicions to who they may be- I'm lazy so deal with it, plus I want you to wonder who the "childhood friends are" he he)

Erza's POV:

"So you see why I can't go on the mission today right?!"

I sighed, "Fine Lucy, we can easily do the mission later"

"Wait, what? Oh, no you can do the mission without me, I mean you need the money right!?" Lucy exclaimed loudly.

I smiled, thinking 'She tries so hard not to be a burden to us, but I can see the worry in her eyes'

"hey Lucy, I'm sure we all want to see your old friend's so don't worry about us, we have enough money to last us till we go on the mission' Lucy smiled and I smiled back, after all she was the first close friend to go on missions with me and show me about being girly.

I glanced behind me, Natsu had been hanging back and was now glaring at the back of Lucy's head. I made eye contact with him, telling him with my eye's not to do anything stupid.

What the hell was wrong with him!? He had been acting weird since they got back from the large group mission (The large group contains Natsu, Lucy, Gajeel, Levy, Gray, Erza and Lisanna- can you guess what happened on the mission!?send me your ideas)

Natsu POV:

Erza was glaring at me. I didn't care. I dismissed her and carried on glaring at Lucy. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed that Erza seemed shocked; she turned her head to face the front, seeming worried. I grinned inside, enjoying the brief happiness of making Erza nervous. Soon my brain was n filled of thoughts of Lucy again. But I was still questioning my feelings which had surfaced on the last mission. I felt possessive, annoyed, pissed off and depressed; all because she was more interested in some childhood friends! After a while of thinking I still had no idea how to get her attention away from them.

A small voice surfaced in the back of my mind

'Scare them away, hurt them so bad that they'll never look at her again, let alone speak to her'

Yes, that would work. Natsu grinned evily, thinking of how he would accomplish this task. Never once questioning the voice in his head.

Gray POV:

Lucy seemed nervous. But that was to be expected. What worries me though is Natsu.

He had discussed it with Erza a few days ago. They had both agreed that he had been strange, he wasn't doing anything differently from normal but something was wrong. He was more intense when around them. Instead of being Happy, he was super happy, not mad but really mad and so on. He also became worried when Lucy wasn't there, but that could be said for all of them, after the mission. (Ooh the plot thickens)

As they entered Fairy Tail Gray dismissed the thoughts of Natsu and instead focused on Lucy who had ran towards Levy, who was sat at one of the tables with Gajeel and her team mates, Erza soon joining them. He could see her avidly explaining the situation to her, the crowd around her slowly growing larger until the whole Guild knew about her situation. Everyone had changed after the mission; they all had varying degrees of interest on their faces, but all showed worry for the Celestial Mage. Well not all, Lisannas face showed no worry for Lucy, but we had all put it down to her trusting in her more. But while thinking that Gray still was uneasy of her, after all they all trusted her more but stilled worried for her.

The Doors of the Guild opened.

Everyone stared at the Two Figures which were there, then back towards Lucy too see her expression

Lucy launched herself towards the figures, grabbing them into her embrace. All three of them fell over, Lucy on top, they returned her hug almost immediately. Behind Lucy the whole Guild shouted there feelings, some wolf whistling, others just screaming their approval or what would happen if Lucy cried.

In the back corner of the Guild, Natsu was hidden in the shadows; he cracked a smile in anticipation of what he had planned.

Sooo, leave me your reviews and ideas along with any requests.

Hope you like Dark Natsu, don't worry though, he becomes puppy-like soon…maybe.

I spent a whole day on this story! And I think i did good too!
