IMPORTANT NOTE

If you can't handle tragedy, or are sensitive around this kind of things, don't read.
I have warned you though, so if you get scarred.. it's not my fault.


Why? Why her? Why couldn't it been me instead?


The usually morning in Edolas was like mostly all other mornings has always been, the salmonette and known as the best driver in Edolas was like usual under his four wheeler, mechanical and screwing on different part with tools from the tool box not far away from reaching.
Humming low for himself, the legs was stable, but still moved in pace with his humming of a song. He was happy, damn happy, and it wasn't only because his car was fun to change or repair with, no. It was also some special - .

" NATSU! " , a loud yelling tone of a woman got the salmonette to froze under the car in his position, before the legs started to shake, afraid he would get beaten up like mostly times she was angry or pissed over something that included him in it as well. Yes, he was talking about his best friend and team mate, even secret crush - Lucy Ashley . And like he was saying her name in the head, the garage door swung up, before with one move angry but firm steps entered and stopped in front of his feet, as with one pull, the salmonette rolled out from the car, and was eye to eye with golden orbs to eyes, as the messy blonde hair was ruffled, but long enough for him to reach if he wanted to touch.

" Lu-ucy-y-san .. ", the salmonette named Natsu tried to talk so normal he could to the pissed blonde, even though he could swore inside his own car that she had found 'that' in his room again. Even though it was his own room and his own things and not even her business, she still lech him up like she was his own mother sometimes. Sure he was a teenager, and that was normal to have such 'things' in your room, but even so, Lucy didn't liked it in some way, and only that made the driver to think different if he should get rid of them or just hide them at Gray's place so long. Even though the third thought that always hit him right after, mostly got him to deep affected, knowing it couldn't be true anyway.

There was no way his best friend was having feelings for him, in the way he had for her in secret.

If she had looked though those 'things' she would had notice it by now, but being a tomboy to girl,
Natsu thanked deep inside she wasn't even close to discover it,yet.

" Natsu! What did I said about 'that' again HAH?! I don't like the way ya look in such filthy idiotic bitches in those magazines, even in the way they dress! It that the way you like ? A Girl showing off more then cover for only the guy she likes or want to show her body for can see the rest of the secrets behind the clothes? WELL!? ", Lucy's golden eyes lighted like sparkling bolts in anger and something more that Natsu had never seen before.

What was that dark shadow, the emptiness behind
those bolts sparks in those eyes of hers?

Natsu didn't knew .. either did he knew if it was worth asking about it either, as the fingers played with his jacket sleeve, to nervous and afraid what the blonde would do next , because he had no answer. She wasn't wrong, but still she was. God, it was so hard to explain anyway. And Lucy was known for her short temperament which mostly ended with one of her painful techniques in a punishment for being so 'annoying' or 'stealing her time'.

" .. Um .. L-Lu-ucy-y-san .. A-An..no .. ", he stuttered, tried to come up with something fast,but it was already to late anyway. " Haah?", the blonde rose a eyebrow up in confusion, before the forehead's vein pounded and she attacked him fast. " YOU ARE SO ANNOYING,DAMN IT! " , she yelled out, as the legs of his was around hers in a force, as the nails was dug into the shoulders of his, giving him marks and pain enough to yelp out in panic and disbelief.

" I'M SORRY! ", the pinkette's voice echo together with the feisty blonde's yelling, as he fall down to the floor like a pack of potatoes, telling she had drop the hold of him now. " Tch, next time I'll burn them all up, got that?! ", she growled, before with one move left the whimpering salmonette on the floor, which rubbed the arm of his to ease the pain a bit.
But even if the blonde had hurt him that badly .. he still couldn't help the 'liking' feeling he got afterwards. It was wrong, he knew that, but he still couldn't help it. It was like a urge she had called out from deep inside himself, which he didn't knew about before.

She was the sadist .. and he .. well he was a machinist in secret.


The later on that day, Natsu had got a errand from Levy to get some things she needed to build another invention she was having in mind like mostly times when she wasn't hanging around Gajeel and his writing on the magazines. Packing the car with stuff he needed, the salmonette got into the car, turned on the engine and was about to back out, but the feet hit the brake just in time as the familiar golden blonde locks flashed by open garage door, as the familiar steps with the boots hit the cold garage floor in sync to the car's low rumble, the salmonette hissed down the window on his side, as their eyes met. Golden versus Green Emeralds .

" Hi. ", her voice was soft, calm and she wasn't showing any trace of anger or bad mood, as the salmonette grinned back, the goggles on top of his head, making the hair messy but cute in some way, which got the blonde's lips to tug on a tiny smile in a pair of seconds, before it was gone, something that mostly was rare to happened, but only happened when they was alone like this.

" Hey, what's up? ", he replied back, the voice firm and no sign of stuttering on a long way, as mostly everyone knew he had a split personality when he was in the car, and when he was outside of it. " .. Doing some errands again? ", she replied back, head tilting a bit to the side, as the arms got crossed over the chest, which in same way got the salmonette to grin a bit more wider, knowing what she was trying, even if she would never say it herself, he could tell from the start. " Yea, I'll be back soon .. ", he replied back, as the feet glide from the brake, while right hand grabbed the gear, put in the back, as the car slowly rolled backwards out from the open garage.

The blonde's eyes widen for a sec, before teeth got clenched, lips trembled softly, as the bangs covered the eyes. " .. Take me .. with you .. ba..aka.. ", her voice was low, but he had heard her, as his feet hit the brake and the car stopped half out of the garage, as he leaned out a bit from the open car window. " Hm? Did you said something right now? ", yes he had heard her , but in some way he got more cocky and bit more teasing mood inside the car, like he was in some way revenging the things she did to him outside the car of his or something.

Lucy glared in sly at him, before the cheeks was slightly risen in light tone as the arms still was crossed over the chest. " Don't even think I'll say it again. ", she replied back, as Natsu sighed low, but gave a quick nod. " Hai Hai, get in then or I'm leaving without you, Lucy. " The blonde looked at him for a moment, before she walked over, opened the passenger door, got inside, shut the door behind and put on the belt, as the feet was like always on the dashboard, the hands behind the head in a relaxing manor.

Rolling the eyes, Natsu continue back out, before spun the wheel as he drove off smoothly, leaving some dust behind but not so much like he mostly did in the past of racing like non stop to beat the new record he got all the time. That was also one of the reasons he got the nickname Fireball. Like a ball of fire was the way his car and himself swished by, so strong, so powerful and skilled, not a single person dared to race against him anyway.

The ride was short, silent for a while, before the road on the way home was more warmly. " So I said, are you stupid or something? Stealing in front of the eyes of mine like that? You sure a idiot. And then he just yelped out in surprise, telling when I got him caught he hadn't even notice me, can you believe that? ", Lucy's voice was having a trance of humor in, but it was faintly but still, Natsu liked this part of her, even these moments she was around him, just those two, all alone, no one else. Yawning a bit, the salmonette nodded to the blonde's words, as he changed gear to four instead, easing the gas a bit, while Lucy was still continuing talking about all those odd missions she had done before she became the guild's master and all this.

The lights of the moon slowly shone up the road in front of him, which got Natsu to yawn once again, feeling the sleep slowly took hold of him , even though he tried fight it back. Lucy had already stop talking, as the eyes was closed, telling she was sleeping softly in the passenger seat beside him. " Must ... stay ... aw...wake... ", the salmonette tried to cheer himself up, but the sleep was slowly winning piece by piece. " ... st-ay .. a-awa-ake ... ", he mumbled again, as the eyelids slammed shut, head fall backwards to the neck pillow attached to the seat, as low snoring came from his lips. The car slowly wiggled side to side on the road, and then a bright light blended the whole driving window, as the blonde's eyes opened just in time, as her screams filled the car, but it was to late.

The car spun around badly, as the blonde smashed right out through the windshield, landed on the car hood, not a single sound came from her any longer, as Natsu woke suddenly up fast, staring in front of himself the mess of blood and broken glass on the dashboard and ..
His eyes widened big as they fell on the empty passenger seat covered in blood and glass as well, but it didn't stop, his eyes followed the trace of blood and broken glass splatter, before the eyes widened even more as he was the familiar blonde hair spread on the car hood, but she wasn't moving at all.

" L-LUCY! ", he yelled out, unbuckle the seat belt , as the legs stumbled out, showing of his wimpy whiny side, but still, his heart was beating double, tears treated to fall from his tear filled eyes, as he reached her, trying to find any sign of life. " No .. No please.. No .. Please .. ", the salmonette whispered, as he fell down on the knees, the tears streamed down the cheeks as he yelled out in a heartbroken scream which Eco in the cold night together with the faintly light from the truck some distance away from the spot they was on.

" LUUUUUUUUUUUCY! "
