Hi, my name is Lucy Heartfilia. I am currently 17 years old from which my birthday was celebrated last year around 3rd July 2011. Well, do you really want to know who I really am? I am a Celestial Spirit Wizard. That's who I am! I own the 12 Celestial Gate Keys of the Zodiac. The Gold Keys from the Zodiac are; Gemini, Sagittarius, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius, Aries, Taurus, Capricorn (maybe?). Other than the Gold keys, I own the silver keys. The Silver Keys are; Lyra The Harp, The Southern Cross Crux and Nikora. Nikora is a dog. I called it Plue. Sounds cute, isn't it? Sorry for not telling you the rest of the golden keys because there's a lot in my mind right now. Anyway, I usually go to this guild named ''Fairy Tail''. Been through many countless arcs and I have a strange feeling about Natsu. He was the first person to meet in Fairy Tail. He can be crazy sometimes but he's a good friend to rely on.
''I wonder when he will come back for me... I haven't seen him around much... Maybe he's just busy with missions? Well who knows?'' Lucy sighed with discomfort.
While Lucy was walking, she saw a blue cat passing by out of nowhere. The blue cat stopped and stared at Lucy.
''Hey, Is that you, Lucy?''
''What do you mean? Of course it is! You don't know I was here?''
'' No! I was just wondering where you were. That's all...'' Happy felt single-handed.
''What's the matter Happy? Anything wrong?'' Lucy asked.
''I feel abandoned when I'm not with Natsu right now.''
'' I knew you would talk about Natsu!''
'' You knew it?''
''I've been thinking about him ever since I was at my apartment.''
'' Hey Lucy... May I ask you something?''
''What is it Happy?''
''Are you head over heels with Natsu?'' Happy taunted.
''HUHHH?! Are you trying to make fun of me, Happy? He's just a friend. I'M NOT LIKE THAT, OKAY?''
''Hehehe...''
''You're not serious, are you?'' Lucy puffed.
''Yeah?''
Happy tilts his head.
''Look, if you try mocking me one more time. I will swear I will kill you next time, Happy.'' She glared.
''Waah No No No Please Don't! What are you? Erza?''
''I'm not Erza! Just stop with the silly jokes and continue the conversation.''
''Okay Okay!''
''Good. Let's continue then. How are you and Natsu doing, Happy?''
''We're doing fine as friends!''
''I see. Do you really miss him a lot?''
''Yeah I missed him too much, Lucy'' He sobbed.
''Don't feel that way. I'm sure he will come back.''
Lucy pitied the blue cat and started hugging him tightly.
''Lucy..'' Happy burst his tears out of his eyes.
''Do you want some fish?''
Happy stares at Lucy with astonishment.
''Aye!''
''Have as much as you want, Happy!''
Lucy smiled with delight.
Blue cat eats the fish and stops eating it with shock.
''I think something's coming!''
''What is it Happy?''
Lucy was shocked when an octopus came out of nowhere.
''What should we do when Natsu's not around? The octopus looks tasty but dangerous to catch.''
''I know! I can use of one of my gate keys! Gate of the Water Bearer I open thee! Aquarius!''
Aquarius glares at her.
'' What do you want with me now?''
''Don't ask me with that expression! I want you to defeat this octopus right now!'' Lucy yelled.
''Pfft. As if I listened to you. You're stupid because none of the boys like you.''
''Huh? Just what the heck do you mean by that?!''
''Nothing!''
She sticks out her tongue.
''Grrr.. Just attack the octopus, for goodness sake!''
''Sorry I have a date with Scorpio.''
She disappeared in an instant.
'' She doesn't have to be so rude to me!'' Lucy shouted with irritation.
''That fish looks scary.''
''Uh.. That's not a fish.. It's Aquarius, Happy.''
''Since Aquarius won't listen to me. I will have to use this key then. Gate of the Maiden, I open thee, Virgo!''
''Do you want punishment?''
''I didn't say I want punishment. I want you to help me defeat this octopus which keeps bugging me.''
''Understood that, princess!''
''Princess?''
Happy laughed quietly.
''You don't have to laugh, Happy!''
''Sorry! My bad!''
Lucy sighed.
Virgo attacked the octopus by going down the hole until she went out the hole where the octopus is located.
The attack didn't work. The octopus slapped Virgo away from her.
''No! She's been defeated by it! I will have to try this key.''
''To tell you the truth, my brother Leo told me he's busy with missions, princess.''
''Huh? That idiot... Fine if he's not here to help me I will have to ask Taurus to help. Gate of the Golden Bull, I open thee, Taurus!''
'' I love your nice body, Lucy!''
Taurus shakes with enthusiasm.
''Why don't you just give it a rest already? I want you to defeat that Octopus right away.''
''Don't worry! I will not let anyone take Lucy's precious body.''
Taurus strikes the octopus with his axe.
The axe bounced and the octopus clouts Taurus. The perverted bull collapsed onto the ground.
''Taurus! Another celestial spirit defeated! I'm running out of magic power.. I feel weak..''
Lucy falls in a faint.
Happy jolts.
''What should we do? This is the end of the world!''
Octopus came nearer to Lucy and grabs her tightly.
''What's the octopus going to do with me? Is it trying to kill me? I'm sorry Natsu, Erza, Happy and the others. This is the last of me. Goodbye everyone..''
''I will not let you do that!''
Salamander appears in the flash and kicks the octopus.
''Natshuuuuuuuuu! You're back!'' Happy cries with excitement.
''Happy! Sorry to have kept you waiting, Lucy.''
Natsu carries Lucy.
''Huh? What the heck are you doing Natsu?'' Lucy felt giddy.
''What do you mean? I'm here to save you, Lucy and Happy.''
''I know but why are you carrying me?''
''Because you're running low of magic power. You wait there by the crates while I defeat this guy.''
''R-right..''
''You likeeeeeeeeeeeee him!''
''NO I DON'T!''
''You. Stupid. Octopus! Be gone!''
Natsu kicks the octopus with iron fist.
''Hahaha! That was easy!''
''Alright!''
Happy jumps by Natsu's side.
''You did it Natsu..''
Lucy smiles and falls into a faint.
''LUCY! Better head back to the guild now.''
Natsu carries an unconscious Lucy and Happy follows him back to the guild.
Later on, when they were inside the guild.
''Hey Natsu! Want another fight?''
''No not today... I have something to care with.''
''Care with? With what?''
''It's none of your concern.''
Natsu pulls the curtain and goes straight to the medical room.
''Grr! That stupid squinty won't listen to me!''
When they were in the medical room, Natsu carries Lucy to her bed.
''Is Lucy going to be okay?'' Happy felt worried.
''Don't worry! She'll be okay, Happy! Why don't we go outside and wait for her then?''
''If you say so!'' Happy answered back.
Natsu went outside the medical room.
''I've been looking for you! You haven't answer my question my yet.''
''What question do you mean, droopy eyes?'' Natsu retorted.
''I mean who are you waiting for? Huh?''
''I'm waiting for Lucy to heal and you should stay away from her. She's still low on magic power. You better not disturb not her. Is that understood, droopy eyes?'' Natsu glared at Gray.
''Lucy? Why didn't you tell me? You could at least tell me, idiot!''
Gray shakes Natsu and Natsu stops him from shaking.
''I didn't tell you at the very beginning because I was carrying her for god sake! Geez, are you dumb or what?''
''No! You're the one who's dumb!'' Gray argued.
''No you're the one who's dumb!'' Natsu argued at him back.
''Please don't fight!'' Mirajane answered at the boys' argument.
They kept arguing and arguing which made Erza more irritated. She felt irritated more and more until her anger was burst.
''THAT'S ENOUGH!''
''Erza...'' Gray replied.
''We appreciate Lucy being in our guild and please don't make too much noise while she's sleeping. Is that understood?'' Erza glares at Natsu along with Gray.
''Yes Erza..'' Gray and Natsu replied at Titania's words.
''Good. I will go and check on her.''
''I hope Lucy's doing okay.'' Natsu hoped with ease.
Erza goes inside the medical room and found out that Lucy was staring near the window.
''Lucy.''
''Huh? Oh hey Erza... I didn't know you were here.''
''You feeling better now?''
''Yeah I'm feeling much better after that long rest.''
''That's good. Everyone is waiting for you outside, Lucy.''
''Oh right! Better check on them then!''
''Right.'' Erza smiles.
Lucy and Erza went outside the medical room. When they were out of the room, Happy was astonished that Lucy felt better now.
''See? I told you she'll be okay!'' Natsu grinned.
''Hehehe You sure did!'' Happy replied.
''Everyone in the guild are happy that I'm better again.''
''Of course! We love to have you in our guild, Lucy! Your family now is Fairy Tail no longer your parents!''
''Natsu.. I didn't know he said something like that.'' I thought.
''Thanks a lot, Natsu...''
''Nah, it's no big deal!'' Natsu smiles at her.
''You two are in lo- ''
Lucy quickly covers the blue cat's mouth.
''Shhhh! He will hear us!''
''Huh?''
''Uh... It's nothing, Natsu!'' Lucy pretends to not know about it.
''Natshu's curious about you!''
''Well, you're the one who said it in the first place you stupid cat!''
''But he thinks you're the one who said it not me...''
''Liar Liar Pants On Fire! It's not me, it's you, Happy! YOU!''
''What is going on here? And Lucy what did Happy said to us again?''
''Uh... (Oh no! I don't want to talk about love here. It's disgusting. Yuck!) He's talking about his fish!
''Yeah Yeah!''
''Fish? Well that's Happy for you.''
'' Yeah!''
''(Thank goodness I thought we would talk about love. By the way, Natsu is not my lover. He is just a friend of mine.)''
''Uh.. Lucy you doing okay?''
''Um... I'm okay! No need to worry about me! Haha...''
''Natshu, Are you curious about Lucy again?''
''No, not likely being curious. It's just that there's something wrong in Lucy's mind which I'm not sure of right now...''
''Oh you were curious about that! I see... Then, why don't you ask her out or something?''
''Like how?''
''Just ask or do you want me to ask me for you? I can help you if you want!''
''Sure, just tell her.''
''Aye sir!''
Happy spreads out his wings to search for Lucy. Few minutes later, Happy found her near the place where Mirajane is.
''Do you have any problem, Lucy?''
''I don't know... It's just that something's bothering my mind right now...''
''Could it be love?''
''Huh? Love?! How do you know about that?''
''Well, I heard other people get bothered by it too.''
''I see... No wonder I feel the same way as them.''
''Do you have a lover?''
''No, I don't have one.''
''I know! You and Natsu are lovers!''
''Since when did you come up with that silly idea?!''
''Because you two get along well with each other as close friends meaning...''
''Meaning...?''
''Meaning the close friendship will evolve into romance!''
''WHAT? This can't be happening... What should I do?''
''You can confess him.''
''Confess? Like I do something silly as that!''
''Just do it! It's either you run away from him or just confess saying you love him.''
''I don't really love him but I've been dreaming about Natsu and I being together as lovers.''
''The dream might come true. You will never know!''
''I can't stand it anymore! I will just tell him to be my friend instead.''
''It's up to you to make a choice not me, Lucy.''
''Yeah I know, Mira...''
Happy flew away slowly back to Natsu.
''So what did she react?''
''I didn't bother to talk to her because she was talking with Mirajane about something...''
''About what?''
''About Love and she said she wanted to be your friend not lover.''
Natsu was bolt from the blue what Happy said to him and he ran outside to think what will happen. The blue cat follows his master.
''Natsu, wait up!''
''No Happy. You stay in the guild while I go outside to have some time thinking about Lucy.''
''Aye...''
While Natsu was outside, he began thinking...
''Lucy was my friend ever since we met at Hargeon Town. She joined the guild and we did many missions with her. I wonder why she doesn't want to tell me she loves me. Lisanna is the one who loves me the most. She even tried to confess but I refused to go out with her because she's a nuisance. Maybe I will just go inside the guild to ask her to go outside with me.''
Natsu ran back inside the guild to look for Lucy. The blue cat told him the way to Lucy.
''Lucy is over there, Natsu.''
''Okay thanks for helping, Happy.''
''With pleasure!''
Natsu smiles at him and goes to the place where Lucy is.
''Hey Lucy, can you go outside with me? I want to talk to you about something.''
Salamander grasps Lucy's arm and runs outside with Lucy.
''Natsu? Where are you taking me?''
''Just do what I say, Lucy.''
''What is it you want to talk about anyway?''
