Competition for a Heart

Chapter 1 "What a Morning for a Race"

It was an average morning in Magnolia; the morning light was shining in through the window of Lucy's apartment. She was beginning to get up out of bed when she suddenly got confused by how hot one side of her was compared to the other side. Sweat was coming off her face when she looked next to her to find Natsu clinging on to her arm.

"Natsu wake up, do you have no respect for my privacy at all", she yelled at him. Natsu quickly opened up his eyes to stare at Lucy which made her blush into a bright pink. "Good morning Lucy", he said very casually. "Well mine isn't starting off very good. I was going to take a shower and have a nice breakfast and now you're here", she stated while putting her hand on her face. Natsu kept staring at Lucy for a few more moments until he exclaimed, "Can you make me some breakfast, and I haven't had anything to eat in hours". She glared at him and said, "Glutton, you're going to eat me out of house and home". He looked very confused, "Is that a yes or a no", he stated. Her gaze lightened up from angry to just slightly annoyed. "It's a yes if you promise to not make a huge mess", she said softly. Natsu was pondering for a minute, "I guess I can do that", he stated.

An hour later after they were both done eating their breakfast and Lucy was doing the dishes. Natsu had a very happy look on his face, he turned to Lucy and said, "Thank you, I'll see you at the guild later". After that he jumped out her window and disappeared from her sight.

Lucy's Point of View

"Well he sure hurried off to the guild pretty quick. Probably going to pick another fight with Gray", she thought to herself. "I guess I better get ready too, knowing Natsu he'll want to go on a mission with me without discussing it first", she exclaimed. After another 45 minutes she was all showered up and dressed and ready to go. Suddenly she got angry, "I can't keep this up with him anymore. I can't ignore my feelings anymore. I need to let him know that I like him", she yelled to the heavens. Now bursting with confidence she ran out the door and headed for the guild unaware that some was planning on doing the same thing.

Normal

Lucy was almost half way to the guild when she ran into Lissana doing the same thing. They looked at each other, "Good morning", they casually stated to one another at the exact same time. Lissana looked at her and suddenly got a little worried. "Someone sure seems to be brimming with confidence, may I ask why she said. Lucy exclaimed to her very casually, "Today is the day that I finally tell Natsu how I really feel about him". A fraction of a second later Lisanna started to run away as fast as she could. She looked back at a confused Lucy and yelled, "There is no way I will let you do that before I do". On instinct Lucy stared to run faster than she ever had. They were now neck and neck with the guild now in sight. "Just a little further", they both thought. Now it was only a few feet away from them. When they touched the doors they opened them up without thinking. Everyone was looking at the open doors to see Lucy and Lissana. "Natsu I like you", they both yelled at the top of their lungs.

End of Chapter 1.

I promise that I will make the next chapter at least twice as long. Hopefully I will get better as I go along since that this is my first fan fiction.
