Hello! This is my first fanfiction and I would appreciate any feedback whatsoever and hope this is a good contribution to NaLu. All right, happy reading!(:

Natsu smiled happily to a certain beautiful white-haired mage, "I can't wait to tell this to tell this to the guild!"

Lisanna laughed, but then stopped abruptly, "But what about Lucy? I have the sneaking suspicion that she'll be..." Hesitation.

"Naww, we're best friends! Luce'll understand, don't worry Lis!" he cheekily replied. She smiled beautifully, both teens laughing it off as if there was no care in the world.

And boy, was he wrong.

"Urgh, Levy-chan! I don't think I can do this anymore."

"Mm, don't worry Lu-chan! I'll be cheering for you in the sidelines. Besides, I think it's about time the two of you have gotten together," she spoke deliberately and reassured her for the thousandth time. Lucy sucked in a deep breath.

"You're right... I need to man up and tell him how I feel. Thanks Levy," she replied gratefully, feeling much more reinvigorated than before. As if on cue, the large guild doors were opened, or rather was slammed, by none other than Natsu with Lisanna following close up behind him. "Here goes.." she mumbled nervously. Gathering all of her courage, Lucy confidently strides towards Natsu. It took no longer than two steps before he shouted the words that she had never expected to hear in a million years.

"Me and Lisanna are together!" Almost everyone in the guild eyed Lucy cautiously before congratulating them both with pats on the back and bone-crushing hugs.

"Oh, Lu-chan..." Levy muttered sympathetically. Natsu marched in front of Lucy with Lisanna close by and gave her a gentle hug.

"So what do you think?" he asked happily. When no response came out, Natsu came up and flicked her forehead. "Lucy, you all right?"

After spacing out for a few moments, she finally went back to reality as she felt some harsh flicks onto her forehead. "Wha- oh, yeah! I think it's great that the two of you are together now! Congratulations, Natsu!" she replied quickly and cheerfully, trying her best to keep up with her happy façade. "Oh! That reminds me, I found this mission and I was wondering if you were busy or not. Lisanna is welcome to join as well?"

"Naww, sorry Lucy. Lisanna and I have all ready planned this mission of finding a rare jewel deep within the Purple Forest. You could come with us if you want!"

"Ahh.. I see. It's fine! I'll just ask someone else to do the mission with me. Thanks for the offer though!" With that, she left them before they could reply and started walking towards Gray to ask him instead.

"Sure, Lucy. But weren't you going to go with Natsu instead?" he asked. Her eyes suddenly found the floor interesting.

"Yeah.. but he was going to do another mission with Lisanna all ready, and I didn't want them to cancel it just because of me."

"All right, Lucy. So when does it start?" his eyes gazed onto her gloomy figure and silently cursed at the dense dragon slayer who had been the cause of all this. At his response, she perked up and answered excitedly.

"Meet me at the Magnolia Train this afternoon at 4! Thanks a bunch, Gray!" After talking and updating each other on what was currently happening with their lives, Lucy trudged home to prepare for the mission. As she lay on her bed in complete silence, she suddenly broke down and cried out every ounce of the despair she had been holding in until now. As she slowly drifted off to sleep, she numbly thought that no one in the guild would ever understand the true feeling of heartbreak.

Hehe.. yeah. Sorry about this short chapter guys. Also I would like to point out that I have particularly nothing against Lisanna and I apologize if I make her seem like a bitch as the story progresses. I still hope you enjoyed it and thanks for reading! GOO NALU
