Lucy sighed, and placed her head on the bar counter. "What am I going to do Mira?" The pretty white-haired barmaid set the cup she was cleaning down.

"What's wrong Lucy? Having troubles getting Natsu to notice you?" Lucy jumped up and turned bright red. Flailing her arms around, she gasped.

"What?! No!" Sitting back down, she hiccupped.

"If you say so." Mira giggled. Lucy hiccupped again."What? That's it? You just have the hiccups?" Mira asked as she went to go sit down with Lucy. "Or is there something else?" Lucy placed her head in her hands, hiccuping again.

"Yeah. I -hic- got it yesterday. I don't know why -hic- it's lasting so long, but I haven't been able to -hic- sleep." Now that she mentioned it, Mira noticed Lucy had heavy bags under her eyes. And her hair wasn't having one of it's good days. "I've tried everything Mira. Except -hic- something to scare me. It's hard to surprise myself!" Just then, Natsu walked up and sat on the side opposite of Mira.

"I can surprise you." He said. Lucy sat up and turned to Natsu.

"Really?! Can you really?!" She asked in a pleading voice.

"Yeah! In fact, I'll do it right now!" Lucy was going to ask how, but was cut off by a warm set of lips connecting with hers. Natsu was kissing her. She struggled for a few seconds, but then eventually sunk into the kiss. The guild erupted into cheers, Mira fainted, Juvia was rejoicing, and more.

When they pulled away, they waited for a few moments, and when no hiccups were heard, Lucy celebrated.

"Yes! Thank you Natsu!" She turned to Natsu, only to find him hiding his face under his scarf. "I'm grateful, really, but why did you kiss me?" She blushed, but it went unnoticed.

"Well, I really wanted to kiss you and this seemed like a good time..." He mumbled into his scarf, still refusing to look at Lucy.

"Well I love you too, you flame brain." And with that, she pecked him on the cheek.

That night, a couple got together, the biggest party Fairy Tail has ever thrown has been thrown, and a fainted Mira needed mouth-to-mouth CPR from a certain lightning dragon slayer.
