It was an ordinary Monday morning.
Well, ordinary for everyone besides Lucy Heartphilia.
She was currently snoozing away in her large queen sized bed, pink sheets wrapped around her petite little body. Drool was sliding down her chin as she dreamed about Channing Tatum and his proposal to her in Hawaii.
"Channing I thought you'd never ask…" She says sleepily, a delirious smile on her lips as she hugs her pillow close to her chest.
It was such a peaceful morning as the birds were chirping outside of her apartment window and the colorful fall leaves were blowing gently in the whispering breeze.
That is until her alarm blares like a madman.
"W-WAH!" Lucy squeaks, jumping five feet in the air as she abruptly awoken from her magical dream with Channing.
She sits up in her bed, her hair a complete and absolute frizzy mess as she takes the rosy pink sleep mask that has "Queen" written across the front with gold letters off. She shakes her head and lets her tangled gold locks fall onto her bare shoulders.
Her face twists in annoyance.
"We were just about to kiss." She pouts, plopping back down on her bed. Her head hits the fluffy pink pillow and she stares up at the ceiling.
Drowsiness washes over her and her lids become heavy.
"Pucker up…baby…"
She's dreaming about Channing in less than a minute.

Her honey brown eyes flutter open and her vision focuses on the white ceiling of her apartment.
Groaning, she stretches her tired arms and sits up in bed.
Her brain still disoriented, she gets up and out of bed ready to start her morning.
"Wait…" She whispers to herself once she's in the bathroom with a toothbrush in her mouth staring at herself in the mirror. Her hair was a mess, sticking up in all different directions and some nice bags adorned her pale complexion.
For some reason, there was something nagging her inside of her brain.
Was today…important or something? She thought as she continues to brush.
Her chocolate eyes widen to the size of watermelons as makes an "o" with her mouth, toothpaste dripping from her opened mouth.
"IT'S THE FIRST DAY OF UNIVERSITY!" She screams to herself, spitting out the toothbrush and shoving her mouth under the sink.
After successfully rinsing all of the toothpaste out of her mouth, she checks the clock in her bedroom and sees that she has 10 minutes before her first class starts.
She pounds a palm against her forehead and mentally curses at what an idiot she is.
In a flash, she races to her desk chair where she'd draped her clothes the night before. The blonde throws on her outfit, combs through her beyond tangled hair, and finds her white colored backpack, which she flings over her shoulder and races towards the bedroom window of her apartment.
She opens the window and sees that the light of the window directly across from hers across the street is still off.
A smile curves on her lips.
So he overslept too.
At least she wasn't alone.
Looking around her bedroom she finds a tennis ball, who knows why she has a tennis ball but she doesn't have time to think about that at the moment, and she shoves it in her backpack before racing out the door.
Once she's out on the busy streets of Magnolia, she races across the street without looking both ways and angry drivers honk at her as they slam the brakes to let the blonde beauty pass.
"Sorry!" She squeaks, smiling apologetically as an older man who drives a cherry red pick up truck gives her the middle finger.
Rude…
She thinks to herself as she makes it to the other end of the street and is in front of the apartment building just across the street from hers.
Smirking, she tosses the tennis ball up and down in her palm before aiming for the window on the second floor.
"Here goes nothing."
And with that, she backs up a little swinging her arm in a pitcher like fashion before running and whipping the ball as hard as she can at the window.
The tennis ball flies through the air, but at the same time the window opens.
Lucy watches as a male sticks half of his body out the window,"Oh hey Lu-" and the green tennis ball hits him right in the face causing him to fall backwards and emit a very loud "OW!" A loud thud and some things falling are heard from the second floor.
The blonde blinks a few times before bursting out in laughter.
"What'd you do that for?!" The male asks, sticking his head back out the window and rubbing his forehead, which is tinged a shade of red and has a round mark on it.
Lucy laughs even harder upon seeing him and just how ridiculous he looks.
"Stop laughing! You're going to get it." He says, squinting his eyes at her before slamming the window shut and retreating back into his apartment.
Lucy's sides hurt from laughing so much and she wipes tears that fall from her eyes.
He looked like a complete idiot! Oh, she hopes that the surveillance cameras on the sides of the street got that.
Checking her rose gold watch, she sees that she now has only seven minutes before class starts.
"Shoot." She mutters under her breath realizing that her injured companion and her teacher were both going to kill her.
She needed to move.
But before she can do so the doors to the entrance of the apartment complex fling open revealing a pink haired male dressed in a grey t-shirt and well fitted jeans along with high-tops.
The look on his face is devilish and Lucy gulps.
"Sorry?" She says cutely.
He begins advancing towards her cracking his knuckles dramatically and Lucy high tails it out of there, running down the streets of Magnolia.
"GET BACK HERE LUCY!" He yells loudly, loud enough to wake up the whole town, as he chases her to school.
She laughs the whole way there knowing that he'd catch up to her eventually and fling her over his shoulder just like he did every day in highschool.
Oh and the guy she hit with a tennis ball?
That was her best friend.
Natsu Dragneel.
