Disclaimer: I donnot own Fairy Tail of any of the characters, if I did why would I be even writing this?

Author's note: Well, guys this is my first try at writing any fanfic, so please review. Constructive criticism is greatly appreciated.

This is the first chapter of a story I have in mind, but I have no idea of how long it's going to be. Expect some fluff in a few chapters ^^

I'll try to update as frequently as possible :)

ENJOY!

The guild was quite calm; it seemed like almost everyone had agreed on going out on a mission, leaving Fairy Tail submerged in some sort on peaceful silence –silence considering this was Fairy Tail and there were still quite a few mages around.

The former S-class mage looked around, Makarov, as usual, was asleep on the counter, Droy and Jet were sulking –in a very loud manner, of course- at the other end of the guild while Levy was out with Gajeel and Natsu… well he was being too still. The bartender wondered if he was even breathing.

"Hey Natsu, what wrong with you today?" the white haired mage gave a warm smile to the boy sitting across from her on the counter. "You're looking a bit down."

"I'm just bored… Gray's out with Juvia on some mission and Erza's out too…", his face however, didn't fit with this mood and Mirajane knew it. He looked annoyed, sulky, even sad.

"OHHHH, come on Natsu. You know perfectly well you can't lie to me. You can't fool me with that. Does this 'boredom'" she said making it clear that she in no way believed he was just bored, "have anything to do with Lucy being out for a date today with that guy she met the other day at the book store?"

Natsu eyed his feline companion wondering if he should tell Mira about what was really bugging him. Of course that meant confirming what she had just asked and confessing the fact that it was him who uprooted the Rainbow Sakura so his partner wouldn't miss the Hanami Festival, which would only result in Mira eyeing him suspiciously and pointing out that his actions were a very clear sign of what he felt for her… but was it? Lucy had mentioned nothing about it, well not that he had seen her since he dropped by her house to find her sick, but still…

Damn why could she tell so easily when something was up to between him and the steller spirit mage?

"Well…?"

"Natsu's just hasn't seen Lucy for the whole weekend because she was sick and… erm… well… wanted to really go on a mission today. He's just been feeling a bit inactive recently and wanted some fun… It really is just that…" Happy was just trying to excuse his friend, he of course knew perfectly well what was wrong with him and why.

"Oh… is it really that. Well I'm sure I can make something about it. What about you help me out with the bar today?" The bartender knew perfectly well that wasn't the matter, but still she wanted he young mage to feel a bit better. She hope that at least this would keep the dragon slayer's mind away from Lucy and her very cute sounding date –because of course her blonde friend had told her very detail about this guy who was having the privilege of inviting her friend for a coffee. "It's not to busy today, so it should be no problem for you no?"

"That sounded very much like a challenge didn't it Natsu?"

At hearing the words coming out of Happy's mouth, the pink haired mage's head shot up, a huge, childish grin on his face. "It did, didn't it?"

"So… I'm guessing that's a yes?"

"Of course it is. Count me in!"

Natsu jumped over the counter to Mira's side, the smile still not leaving his face but not fully reaching his eyes. He still has Lucy on his mind, Mira thought but still couldn't help but smile at how easy it was to get the fire mage entertained.

(At the same time in a small café of Magnoila)

"What do you want to drink?", the tall, young man looked down at the beautiful woman who was sitting down looking through the window at nothing -or so he thought-, wondering if she was listening to him.

No answer.

"Lucy?"

She looked up to her date, Riichi, who looked at her questioningly. "Oh, erm… yeah I'm sorry. A Thai Latte with ice, please." She replied and then turned back to looking at the blooming Sakura tree just outside the window.

God. What the hell is wrong with me? I finally get a date with a guy that doesn't look like a complete ass and looks at my eyes more than at my boobs and all have in my head is that Rainbow Sakura sailing down river in front of my window.

She still was wondering who was responsible for that because she just didn't wasn't to believe what came to her mind the moment she saw the tree, Natsu.

No, she didn't want to think he was responsible for it. She had locked her feelings for him months ago when she realised he was just that amazing and caring with everyone, with all his nakama. However, that lock had received a striking blow that weekend when she saw the multicoloured petals flying into her room.

She had to focus on her date, bring her mind to this café and act as if she wanted to be there and not back at Fairy Tail demanding some explanation from her teammate.

"There you go. An iced Thai Latte for this very beautiful women." He flashed an enchanting smile at her that managed to break her train of though, bringing her back to reality.

"Thanks." She replied blushing slightly at his compliment, not being accustomed to such subtle and not boob-related comments.

She took a sip of her mug and smiled at the handsome man sitting across from her. Her mind was now in the café, she felt ready to properly start her date and forget all that nonsense about Natsu, the tree and her feelings…

…Well forget them until the date was over at least.

(Back in Fairy Tail a few hours later.)

"Jeez, Mira. I seriously don't know how you manage. It's so confusing who orders what, not spilling anything…" the bartender chuckled at her confused looking friend.

"It's okay Natsu, you've done very well for being your first time." Of course Mira was just being nice, in reality the fire eater had done that well, but it was to be expected, after all he was Natsu. "You can leave it to me now if you want."

"I thought you were never going to say that!" Fairy Tail's Salamander grinned, "still it was a nice experience… I guess."

Happy eyed his friend and yawned. "We better get going, looks like nothing's really happening today."

"Yeah, see you later Mira!" the fire mage flashed another of his childish grins and started walking towards the door of the guild with his blue companion flying beside him. "How about we grab some food? Some nice fish for you hum?"

"Aye!"

And so the pair of them left the guild just a few minutes before Lucy entered through he door rushing towards the counter, her face revealing a mixture of contradicting emotions and of course this didn't go unnoticed to the bar tender who was ready to start her questioning.

Shit. Lucy knew what was coming to her now, but Mira had already seen her and her face, and so avoiding her questions was now impossible. The summoner just hoped her friend would settle for her lies and didn't ask for too many details.

However, the Demon Mirajane was ready to make her appearance in the scene if Lucy wasn't cooperative enough.
