(AN)I don't own Fairy Tail or any of its characters.

Also I understand that there a lot of stories like this but I have thought of everything myself and have not copied from anyone. The characters and Fairy Tail itself are not mine but the story is.

Chapter 1 WHAT!?

Lucy Heartfilia was sitting in class with her best friend Levy McGarden. Lucy was only a few months older than Levy and had just turned 17. It was only two days until spring break and the girls were excited.

"What are you doing for spring break, Levy-chan?" Lucy asked.

Levy blushed and said, "Gajeel invited me to go camping with his family since my parents are gone right now."

"How cute!"

Levy's blush darkened when Gajeel walked into class, with his cousin Natsu. Gajeel winked at her and she let out a little squeak. Lucy looked up and saw Natsu. A sour look replaced her sweet one and she rolled her eyes. Levy laughed and took her seat next to Lucy.
Natsu and Lucy glared at each other until Mr. Gildarts walked in.

He smirked and said," Please save your weird flirting for after class."

The two students looked at each other then back at him and yelled, "We're NOT flirting!"

The teacher just chuckled and the other students tried not to burst out in laughter. For the next hour the two of them were in a bad mood, only looking up to give the other a death glare. Natsu couldn't believe he actually thought they were flirting! He would never flirt with HER. She was annoying and emotional. He looked over at her and figured she was thinking the same thing. Lucy had that angry look on her face. Her eyes burned, her lips pulled into a pout and her small nose scrunched up. Cute. Wait...what? No! Bad Natsu. Not cute! She's not cute! She's LUCY!

When the bell finally rang Lucy jumped up and dragged Levy with her.

"Hey Lu-chan?" Levy asked.

"Yeah?"

"Do you like Natsu?"

Lucy almost tripped over her own feet and yelled, "No! Why would you think that?"

Levy looked at her and responded, "You two have known each other since freshmen year and pretend to hate each other, yet you don't seem to have any good reasons why. What's wrong with Natsu?"

Lucy quickly said, "There are plenty of things wrong with him! He's loud and obnoxious, and he's stupid and weird and funny and-"

"Funny?" Levy asked with a smirk.

"N-No!" I mean he tries to be funny...but...but he sucks at it!"

Levy giggled and headed to her next class, leaving Lucy behind fuming.

After school Lucy walked home alone thinking to herself. When she arrived at her house and walked in a servant named Loke greeted her.

"Hello Lady Lucy, May I take your bag," he said with a wink.

"No thanks Loke I got it," she said with a smile.

Lucy made her way up to her room. She hated being waited on like that, even if the servants were nice. Her father, Jude, Owned the big Heartfilia Company and made sure everyone knew about it. She lay down on her bed and read for a little while. She was having a crappy day and couldn't think of anything that could make it worse.

About an hour later Lucy's father came home.

The second he got in the door he yelled, "Lucy, come down here, we need to talk."

Crap. Last time he said they needed to "talk" she found out her mother had died in a car crash. This could not be good. She made her way down the stairs and was filled with dread as she faced her father.

He looked at her with a blank expression and said," The Heartfilia company is losing profits and we need to merge with another company. I have arranged you to be married to Igneel Dragneel's son, Natsu. This will not be discussed as I have already decided for you."

It took a moment for this to sink in. In 3...2...1...

"What?!"
