Author's Note: Hello, everyone! This is my very first fanfiction (So please go easy on me). This fanfiction is also dedicted to Ai Lun, a very good and awesome friend, hardcore Fairy Tail fan and the very person who introduced me to Fairy Tail! Read and review! I'm planning on having about 7 chapters or so. Favs, follows and reviews are deeply appreciated. I would also like to vow to never ditch any story, and try my best to update every week. (I myself am pissed about other authors ditching their stories). Anyways, hope you enjoy! -TheFlyingNeko

It was a normal day in the guild. At least, until Natsu entered.

The guild dropped into a low whisper as Natsu banged the door open, announcing "I'M BACK, EVERYONE!"

Natsu was surprised at how quiet the guild was. He was gone for barely a day, on a solo job with Happy and THIS happens? Usually at around this time, the guild would be in chaos and people will be throwing things around.

Natsu spotted Cana with a barrel of booze as usual, but was extremely shocked when he realised that she had not touched it. Levy had a book with her, but it was closed, and instead she stared into blank space. Jet and Droy weren't fighting over to cheer her up or even try to start a conversation with Levy, but instead each of them were staring into their own blank space, not bothering to check on Levy. Wakaba wasn't smoking and Macao was idly playing with his sticky purple flames. The master was probably in his office and Mirajane was on the second floor. Elfman wasn't rambling about 'being a man'. Erza was sitting at a table, and had not even touched her favourite strawberry cake. Juvia wasn't obsessing over Gray, but instead, sat in a corner facing the wall, with ears as red as Erza's hair. Natsu guessed that her face was red as well, but it was well hidden by the shadows of the wall. Wait… Where's Gray? Lucy, who would be sitting at the bar at this time chatting with Levy or Mira was nowhere to be seen either. What was most scary was, the deadly silence of the guild.

"WHATTTTTTT?!" Happy and Natsu said in unison, breaking the silence, but no one bothered to turn their heads.

"Eh? What happened to the guild, Happy?" Natsu asked, earning a shrug from the just as puzzled Happy.

"Oh, welcome back, Natsu. How was the job? " Erza gestured for him to sit, easing the tension.

"Oh, it was fun! I bust them all up!" Natsu said, with a grin while taking a seat, as Happy flew over to Carla and the others.

However, the guild was still deadly silent.

"Mina!" Heads turned to see Gray finish pulling Lucy up on stage, both with huge smiles and blushing.

Wait... Blushing? Natsu thought. Meh, can't be anything!

"Um... We have an announcement to make..." Lucy said, shyly.

She stole a glance at Gray, who was just as nervous and he looked at her as well, with a reassuring smile and they both regained their confidence.

"We... Are officially dating." Everyone gasped, especially Mirajane, who looked like she was about to faint.

The entire guild started mumbling, saying things like 'It's true, then?", "Wow.", "Amazing." or "Its surprising".

"You... WHAT?! Mirajane screamed, silencing everyone as the only sound in the entire guild was Mirajane running down the stairs from the second floor frantically and running on the stage, then grabbing Gray by his collar. He wasn't shirtless, for once.

Mirajane was acting like Natsu, and it just so happened that Natsu was keeping quiet, which was what Mirajane usually would have done. Well, today was definitely a weird day.

"Hey, hey..." Gray said, somewhat scared of the takeover Mage, who had a love for matchmaking.

"But... What about Juvia..." Mirajane said, disappointed.

"I... I explained to her last night." Gray whimpered, hoping the furious lady in front of him would not get violent.

"Gray..."

"What...?"

"How could you!" Mira managed as she shoved him and left, extremely heartbroken.

"G-gray..." Lucy started, but was interrupted by Gray.

"It's alright, Lucy. Well, at least I think so! "Gray said, scratching the back of his head and regaining his confidence. "I hope everyone will give us our blessings and support!" which concluded the announcement as he held his hand to her and helped her down the stage, before walking to one of the benches, hand in hand.

The guild started to regain its normal noise, and some people headed to Lucy and Gray for congratulations.

Meanwhile, Natsu was utterly shocked by what had happened. Lucy and... Gray? What's going on?!

"I heard that Gray confessed to her last night." Macao whispered to Wakaba, oblivious to the eavesdropping Natsu behind him.

"No wonder! Lucy was extremely happy yesterday night. You should have seen that look on her face when she left the guild." Wakaba replied.

"They look pretty cute, actually!" Macao stated.

"Yeah, let's go congratulate them!" Wakaba said as he and Macao left the table, heading towards a now crowded Lucy and Gray, who just stepped off the stage.

Natsu was dumbfounded. He had no idea they had that kind of relationship!

"Natsu, are you okay?" Erza said with her formal tendency.

"Yeah... I'm just really shocked!" Natsu grinned, scratching his head.

"Let's go congratulate them, Natsu. They are our teammates, after all."

"Of course I will! They're our Nakama!" Natsu beamed.

Wait... He isn't affected by it? Erza thought to herself.

"Erza, what are you waiting for! Let's go!" Natsu said, Erza realising that Natsu was already on his feet.

He definitely isn't... Erza thought again before replying Natsu.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

A while later...

After many congratulations from the guild, Gray and Lucy sat down on a bench as Lucy rested her head on his chest. It was cold and cooling and it felt even better when Gray put an arm around her, and stroked her hair with his other hand.

"Gray…"

"Yes, Lucy?"

"I… love… you…"

Natsu happened to be nearby when they said that to each other and he froze. Was that the Lucy and Gray he knew? They were so… intimate…Well… they are dating now, so there's nothing wrong about it! I just have to get used to it! He thought as he walked away to where Happy, Carla, Wendy and Lisanna were to say hi.

"Yo! How's it going?" Natsu said with a huge grin as he sat down at the table.

"Natsu! What brings you here at this time of the day?" Lisanna asked with a small smile.

"Hm? What's wrong with me being here?" Natsu asked, puzzled and wondering why today was so weird.

'Well… Umm… You don't feel… Affected?" Wendy said.

"By what? Geez, what's wrong with the guild today?" Natsu muttered.

"Aye…" Happy said, with his usual response.

"Don't worry, Natsu. It's nothing!" Lisanna said, smiling.

"Oh. Anyways, how was your day?" Natsu asked, completely oblivious to the situation.

Meanwhile, the couple was having lots of fun, in their own private space.

"Lucy... Since when was your hair so smooth?" Gray teased, stroking her hair while she lay on his lap.

"Gray!" Lucy giggled, obviously having a lot of fun.

"Man, today's a great day, isn't it, darling?" Gray asked.

"Mm, especially with you here, Gray." Lucy said, snuggling herself in his lap.

"Yeah." Gray said, with a soft, deep and affectionate smile.

An hour later,

"Hey, Natsu." Mirajane called him out, after a while of chatting and having fun.

"What, Mira?" Natsu asked, puzzled.

"Well... Do you think Gray is happy?" Mirajane asked, with a slight frown on her face.

"Of course he is! Just look at him!" Natsu said, pointing at him and Lucy sitting at the corner, giggling away.

"What about Lucy then?" Mirajane asked again, shooting him a curious look.

"Isn't that the same thing? Of course they are both happy! Hey, what are you driving at, huh Mira." Natsu replied, puzzled.

"Nothing." Mira said, with a dark look.

"Oh." Natsu replied, as if nothing happened.

"Wanna go fishing? Happy, Lisanna, Wendy, Carla?" Natsu asked as he whipped around, earning a few enthusiastic grins, except from the white exceed.

"Aye, sir! The one who catches the largest fish will get the honour of me eating it!" Happy announced enthusiastically.

"Don't get it, but okay!" Natsu said, giving Happy a thumbs up.

"If you're going, Wendy, then I have no choice but to tag along." The female cat sighed.

"Wait... Aren't you gonna invite Lucy?" Lisanna asked.

"Oh, yeah!" Natsu said, casually walking over to Lucy and Gray, who were still snuggling and hugging.

"Luce!" Natsu said with a beam, catching the couple by surprise. "Wanna go fishing with us?"

"Um, Natsu…" Lucy said, while sitting up from her previous position

"What?" Natsu asked, with an innocent look.

"We're having some private time here, so would you please excuse us?" Gray told Natsu, emphasising on private.

"Oh yeah, popsicle?" Natsu said, picking a fight with Gray.

"Sorry, Natsu. I've got no time for childish brawls. Lucy here, needs my time." Gray said coolly.

"Lucyyyyyyyyy..." Natsu whined.

"Now, now, Natsu." Lucy sighed as he started to walk away.

"Fine then. But I'm coming along" Gray said.

"NO WAY I'M GOING FISHING WITH DROOPY EYES!" Natsu screamed, shocked that he even suggested it.

"It's to protect Lucy here, and I already told you, we're no longer children, so just shut up already." Gray said, surprisingly maturely.

"Hmph!" Natsu walked back to Happy and the others, who were ready to go.

"It'd be good if it was just Lucy..." Natsu mumbled, with a pout.

"Oh, really?!" Mirajane asked, suddenly basking in hope.

"Of course. She's my best friend, right?" Natsu said, raising an eyebrow at Mira.

Mirajane sighed and walked away, full of gloom. Natsu eyed her curiously but quickly dismissed it as today was a 'weird day' anyway.

"Let's go!" Natsu said.

"Aye, sir!" Happy replied.

A while later, at the river in the East Forest

Gray and Lucy, who shared a fishing rod, sat nearest to the bottom of the river, followed by Wendy, Carla, Happy, Lisanna and Natsu nearest to the top.

"Happy, look, I caught one!" Natsu said excitedly, standing up and pulling the fish out of the water.

"Really?! Let me see!" Happy stared at the fishing line until… a tiny fish showed up. "Meh, Natsu. Anyone can catch one bigger than that"

Natsu was disappointed as he sighed and put the tiny fish he caught in the bucket.

"Lucy, we've got one!" Gray shouted, reeling up the fish.

"Gray, you're awesome!" Lucy said as Gray pulled up a large fish, definitely much larger than Natsu's.

"Whoa, look, that's more like it!" Happy said as he eyed the fish, drooling.

"Here, Happy." Gray threw Happy the fish as he grabbed it, staring at the fish in awe.

"Geez, Happy, get a grip on yourself." Carla commented.

"I'll get you a big one too, Happy!" Lisanna said, concentrating on fishing.

At that point, everyone had already caught a fish, even reluctant Carla, except Wendy.

"Sigh. I'll never get a fish." Wendy sighed, in her soft and shy voice.

"I'll help you, Wendy." A voice said from behind. Heads turned to see Romeo, smiling.

"Romeo!" Wendy exclaimed.

"Hello, Natsu-nii, Wendy, everyone!" Romeo said as he ran over and sat beside Wendy.

Romeo's hand reached out for Wendy's and held it there, eagerly anticipating a fish. Wendy blushed, and was shocked too, but when Romeo beamed at her, she smiled. Somehow, she felt safe, and his hand was warm too. She felt Romeo edge closer to her, and her blush deepened.

"Wendy, your hand is shaking. If you do that you're gonna scare the fishes away!" Romeo said as he held her hand even tighter.

"I-is t-that s-s-so?" Wendy stuttered.

"Mm. Don't worry, Wendy. I'll make sure you catch a fish bigger than Natsu-nii's head!" Romeo grinned.

"Eh? Did someone say my name?" Natsu said, hearing a 'Natsu' pop up somewhere.

"Hehe!" Romeo whispered to Wendy, who giggled.

"Ro-Romeo…" Wendy said, feeling embarrassed.

"What is it, Wendy?" Romeo looked at her curiously.

"W-why did y...ou ch-choose t-to help… m-me? N-Natsu-san t-there n-needs help… t-too…" Wendy managed to say.

"Well…" Romeo was lost for words, but lucky for him...

"Ahh!" Carla felt a huge force pulling against her fishing rod as she let go, letting the rod fall in the water with a splash. "That was a heavy one!"

"It's okay, Carla. You can share with me!" Happy went over to her and they both grabbed on Happy's fishing rod. "This way, no fish will get away from us!"

Carla was taken aback for a second but then nodded, blushing.

"Fine, but you better not do anything fishy." Carla tried to cover up for her mistake, but instead only caused them both to giggle.

"Carla…!" Happy suddenly said, surprising her.

"What?" Carla asked, shocked.

"No, I've got a plan! To catch fish!" Happy's eyes sparkled, while Carla just raised her eyebrows.

"It's probably something stupid, but what?" Carla asked, doubtingly.

"Well…" Happy said, before whispering the plan in her ear.

"Eh? That's not a bad idea… Wait… I am doing THAT?" Carla said.

"Aye! Well, I'd do anything for fish!" Happy said, before picking her up and launching her in the air.

"Hey!" Carla screamed, before being thrown in the air.

Everyone turned to look at Carla, high up in the sky. However she quickly used her Aera and stayed up in the air. One of her hands were on the pole of the fishing rod, the other on the line. Happy also used his Aera, Holding the edge of the pole as well.

"Let's go! Make sure it goes smoothly, Carla!" Happy said.

They both started moving downstream from the river, where most fishing rods can't reach. Carla made sure the hook cut swiftly through the water while Happy would move it. They both stopped after flying a few meters, and held the fishing rod, keeping it from being washed downstream. Soon after, they had caught a fish, and it was large.

"Whoa, this works!" Carla exclaimed, surprised.

"Mm, there are a lot more fishes here than back there, because its hard to fish here. Plus, there's no riverbank and the current is strong, so it'll almost be impossible to fish. But with both our strength combined, catching fish will be a piece of cake! Also, all the big fish come from here! Only they can cut through currents easier! You see, Gray is stationed nearer downstream so there would be big fish, while Natsu is upstream, where there would be less and smaller fishes." Happy said, proud of himself.

"When it comes to fish, you surely are formidable." Carla said.

"Aye! As expected from Professor Happy! Right?" Happy said, winking.

"Geez, Happy." Carla said, but hearing his foolishness only made her smile.

"Oh, another one!" Happy shouted, with a huge grin spreading across his face as yet another huge fish was caught on the line.

"That was fast!" Carla said.

Meanwhile...

"Gray, let me try, now!" Lucy said enthusiastically after Gray had caught yet another fish.

"Okay, but be careful." Gray said as he handed the fishing rod over to Lucy, who was eager to fish.

"Natsu… Are you okay?" Lisanna asked, noticing that Natsu has been dead quiet for a while.

"Shhh! I'm trying to focus so I can get a bigger fish than Gray!" Natsu whispered to Lisanna, putting on his concentrated face again.

Lisanna giggled and went back to fishing.

"I GOT ONE!" Lucy and Natsu screamed and stood up together.

"Eh?" They said in unison again.

They both tried to reel up their fishes when suddenly…

"Ahh!" Lucy screamed and nearly lost her balance, but Gray caught her.

"I'll help." Gray said as he put a hand on hers and pulled.

Natsu hasn't reeled his up as well, and is also struggling as hard as them.

"Damn. What's with this crazy heavy fish." Natsu said, gritting his teeth.

Both Natsu and Lucy, along with a bit of Gray, pulled as hard as they could when something emerged from the water and ended up dangling above the head of poor Wendy. Two hooks were on its mouth and Natsu was pulling on one of the lines while Lucy was pulling on another. The pitiful fish, that had tried to eat two baits at once was being pulled in both directions, both lines with formidable tension. They were both surprised when they saw it, and released the pole at the same time due to shock, causing the fish to fall towards Wendy. However, Romeo quickly stood up, which blocked Natsu's view of Lucy and likewise, and flicked the fish away along with the rods that were still hooked on it... in Gray's direction. Lucky for him, The rods didn't hit him, but the fish went right smack onto his face before falling to the ground.

"Oops. Sorry, Gray-San!" Romeo apologised.

"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Gray said to Romeo, while trying to wipe his face.

"A-arigato, Romeo!" Wendy said, a smile forming on her face.

"Wendy, you're safe, right?" Romeo asked worriedly, as he sat down, allowing Natsu and Lucy to be able to see each other again.

"Ack!" Gray ran to the river and cleaned his face, as Natsu and Lucy stared at each other, surprised.

"Is this what they call 'fate'?" Lisanna commented.

In an unknown area, 5 hours later.

"Interesting… That happened? Ahh well, it's not working."

"But as we thought, we didn't have to tell her at all."

"She's a natural."

"But this is definitely not working."

"Tomorrow, then."
