Prologue:
The day started out like most others do.
Waking up Lucy looked over to what woke her; her phone was ringing insistently, grabbing it she answered.
"Yes?" looking over at the clock on her nightstand it read '5:30am', "and why are you calling me right now?" Lucy continued on in an irritated voice rubbing her fingerers over her eyes.
"Well since it's the spring holidays the gang was thinking off going to Magnolia for a trip." Levy said
"And you're only telling me now, why not a week ago?" Lucy asked shocked that her friends had kept her out of what was happening.
"It's meant to be a surprise." Levy whispered timidly down the line.
"For who?" Lucy asked thinking of whom it could possibly be for.
"It's a secret." She replied
"Oh come on you can tell me." Lucy said trying to convince the other girl to tell her.
"Secret." Levy reiterated a pout evident in her voice; she wasn't going to budge on the subject.
"Ok fine, but what about the trip; can you tell me more about that?" she asked "Or do I get a schedule or something?"
"Or something." Levy replied
"Meaning wha-"she started when her phone pinged telling her she had a message. Removing the phone from her ear she looks at the screen a little (1) above her email folder; opening it she read
Lucy get up and pack for two weeks away somewhere sunny.

Oh and we already have accommodation but they ran out of rooms and fairy tail (the place we are staying at) recommended the little cottage inn/costume place up the hill from them. The Inn is called 'Royalty in the green'
Erza
"Or Something." Lucy said aloud. Walking over to her wardrobe picking up a travel bag from inside the closet grabbing clothes and throwing at the bed. "Levy you still there?"
"Yea?"
"Well get your arse over her and help me pack!" hanging up Lucy walked over to her door leaving her room.
"Princess, you're up early." Virgo said respectfully bowing slightly as her Mistress entered the room.
"Yea, I guess I am." Lucy said walking to the breakfast bar in front of Virgo.
"What would you like for breakfast this morning Princess?"
"Levy is coming over soon so how about her favorite?"
"Miss Gardener?" Virgo asked; nodding Virgo looked back at her kitchen "ok so pancakes with ice cream and maple syrup and bacon." Seeing Virgo start at breakfast Lucy looked down at her phone opening it to find another message unlike the other it.
Hey Luce did those dicks wake you up like they did me?
Smiling at the message from her crush and best friend she replied
You too?
Yea but it's all good, a week at Magnolia can't wait.
Same do you know when we are meant to be going?
Not a clue did you get the email from Erza?
Yea but it just said what to bring with, nothing about when.
Mine said a bit more than that.
What else did yours say?
Oh just the pairs.
What pairs? Nobody said anything about this to me.
You're pouting, aren't you?
No
And now you're blushing.
No I'm not
You are I can see you through the front window; I'm at your door.
Dick!
Oh you know you love me, so let me in. ;)
Smiling Lucy walked over to the door, looking through the window she saw her salmon headed friend. Opening the door Lucy was taken into a huge hug his body making hers seem so small. Fighting down her blush Lucy asked
"What pairs?"
"The ones we have to stay in so no-one gets in trouble or lost." Natsu said with a figure in the air, seeming very matter of fact.
"Alright." Lucy said back grabbing his hand out of the air and bringing it down to his side. "So who are these pairs and whose idea was it?" she said walking back into the house with Natsu behind her.
"Collective I think."
"Meaning Erza and Mira" Lucy said turning towards the lounge and sitting down on the love seat, Natsu soon fallowed also sitting down upon the same chair.
"It always is isn't it?" Natsu said smiling at her with a cocked eyebrow.
Looking away from him Lucy muttered a confirmation. She always loved seeing that smile full of confidence and playfulness.
"What?" he said moving closer to her on the seat. "Are you feeling ok your face is going red?" bring his hand up to her face someone walked into the room.
"I didn't mean to disturb Princess but Miss Gardener is here, and breakfast is ready."
"Oh thanks Virgo." Lucy said moving towards the breakfast bar Natsu sitting to her right and Levy to the left.
"This looks great!" Natsu said enthusiastically digging into his food, not stopping till the food was gone.
Laughing Lucy and Levy looked at each other then at their pancakes and bacon smiling they started to eat.
…..
Up in Lucy's room later Natsu was sprawled out on her bed -not helping I might add- while Levy and Lucy where digging through her clothes; they'd been at the task most of the morning and were almost finished the exhausting job when Levy looked over at Natsu a idea forming in her head. "Natsu?" said getting his attention.
"Hmmm?" he murmured back
"I need to go can you help Lucy with the rest of her packing?" she asked in cute but strong voice, seeing his face light with shock she said "good, now I have got to go so see you tomorrow. Oh and don't you forget to pack too!" walking away she leaves him with his jaw hitting the mattress.
"What am I Levy mark 2?" he says aloud; rolling his eyes.
"Levy? I need some help can you come here?" Lucy called from the bathroom.
"Well LM2 (Levy mark 2) time to be the best-est girlfriend!" Heading towards the door to the bathroom he saw the door creep open, a blonde head of hair looking out at him.
"Where's Levy?"
"She left a short while ago."
"What, why?" she said half raising her voice
"Plus I think she told me when this impromptu holiday starts."
"Yea tomorrow; I know." She says walking out with a dress half done up and slipping from her bosom. "She told me when you where spacing out on my bed.
"Oh, sorry." He said with a goofy look on his face. "I didn't mean to fall asleep." He continued, cocking his head looking at her try to do up her zip.
Moving his hands to her back sliding the zip up.
"So, what do you think?" she said inquisitively swinging around to show off the front of the dress as well. It was a gorgeous blue summer boob tube dress that hugged her body until half way down her but and then jutted out into a loose breezy skirt.
"Great." He replied biting his lip to keep his mouth from spilling out what he really thought, he did think it was great but it wasn't only that.
"Good, god I think we are finished now!" Lucy exclaimed smiling up at her now abnormally silent friend. Latching onto his arm she tried to get him to be his playful self. "Hey I've got a new game on the computer you want to see?" she asked hoping that this would keep him entertained and bring him back from his thoughts. "It's a Sims games; it's called Dragon Valley." Watching his face light up she showed him how to use the controls and set it up. His smile was splitting his face when he created his first dragon and so was mine.
