i know all of you want me to finish my other stories but i wanted to start a one shot thing, where i only post one shots like my first one shot. they're mostly going to be NALU based but their will be some other pairings like GruVia,JERZA, GajEvy, Miraxus, and others. I got this one shot idea by reading something on facebook and it was pretty cute though my friend begs to differ.

It started with a text

Summary: Lucy and Natsu's relationship dates back from when they were younger but they haven't seen each other in 13 years, Lucy is now 20 and she gets a text one day from her dates roommate who just happens to be Natsu. Will love find its way back to them?

'Bold italics' IS NATSU'S TEXTS

'Italics'IS LUCY'S TEXTS

I was walking along with my friends Erza, Levy, Lisanna and oddly enough Juvia. They where contempt in telling me all about Loke, a guy from their group of friends i didn't talk to since well, i don't like their boyfriends much. Erza's boyfriend Jellal creeps me out and the tattoo on his face near his eye just makes him more scary. Levy's boyfriend Gajeel is way too protective of Levy and he is also intimidating with the amount of piercings he has. Lisanna's boyfriend Bixlow just gives me the creeps because i can never see his face. And last but not least Juvia's boyfriend Gray, it's not that i don't like Gray, he's pretty cool he's like an older brother to me at times and i've known him for years and his stripping habit no longer bugs me that much, but Juvia is obsessed with him and if i talk to him i will be declared a 'love rival' until i get my own boyfriend. Anyway, as i was saying i was walking along barely listening to them talk about Loke because from what i did hear he was a big flirt who will break any girls heart just to make himself feel good, and i dislike guys like that. (just to clarify, i dont hate Loke at all but in this story i may have to make him act like a bigger ass hole than he is because it makes the story work, and again just to clarify the only people i hate from Fairy tail are Fairy Tails enemies)As i was walking i got a text which was rather odd, because i don't really text anyone other than the four i'm walking with and Lisanna's older sister Mira, But i know that non of the four could be texting me because their talking about Loke trying to get me to go out with him and Mirajane is on a date with Laxus. So i was utterly bemused by who could be texting me so i looked at my phone.

'Hello Princess'

How random, must be a wrong number, or did these 'matchmakers' give this Loke guy my number?

'erm, who is this?'

'ah, sorry, wrong number'

'dont go, i'll be your Princess;)'

Whoa, where did that come from?! Did i actually ask to become some random guys Princess? Lucy Heartfelia! Get ahold of yourself!

"Lu-chan~ you arent listening to uss~" Levy whined, I turned and gave them a sheepish smile.

"I dont want a boyfriend. i'm happy being single, if this Loke guy is such a great person why dont one of you Four date him" I replied shoving my phone back in my jacket pocket.

"LU-CHAN?! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssse~" Levy begged, ah, i now know why they want me to go out with this guy, to avert him from them so their boyfriends stop being so protective around him, hah, i could just lie but i am a terrible liar.

"Fine, but you four owe me big time for this, you know i hate flirts" i reply.

It's been a few weeks since i started to talk to this guy and he calls himself the 'salamander' i of course told him my actual name. He likes fire, i think he may be a piro, alas i want to go out with this guy, he's perfect for me, i think, but i have to go on this date with freaking Loke first, and that date... it's tonight. I tried so hard to get out of it, but alas, my friends are desperate. So right now we're shopping for said date... and i wish i hadn't agreed.

"Ohh, what about this one Lucy?!" Juvia Asked as she held up the sluttiest most revealing dress i have ever seen!

"No thanks" I reply plainly as i walk over to the place of my sanctuary called jeans and crop tops.

"C'mon Lu, you cant just wear a crop top and jeans... be a little more girly" Lisanna sighed dragging my back to the way to revealing clothes.

"not wearing anything that makes me look like a slut! i dont care if its what that guy likes, i am not sinking that low just for you guys" I said walking to the less revealing area, eventually i gave up and bought a skirt-an annoyingly short skirt- and a tank top. I began to walk towards the food court when i realised i hadnt talked to the 'Salamnder' all day, i'm sure he hasnt noticed but i should check my phone.

"What the hell! "100 messages?! Are you kidding me!" I exclaim as i walk behind my friends.

"Lu-chan are you okay?" Levy asked looking so innocent as she tilted her head.

"Y-Yeah, i just have to go home.. i have to get home and... uh.. bathe" I lied then ran out the mall and walked down the street towards my apartment.

'Lucceeee! Why arent you answering me!'

'jees, i was shoping... my friends dragged me out and if i took my phone out they'd take it off me... sorry'

'you worried me'

'aww, glad i'm missed'

'i've been so bored all daaaayy'

'haha, at least you havent had to be tortured. they wanted me to buy the sluttiest loooking dress i've seen in my entire life'

'haha, i'd pay to see that Princess, you wearing a dress. you dont seem like that type of girl'

'*Sighs* Finally someone understands!'

'Luce, would you wear a revelaing dress for me?'

I choked on the air, what the hell? i-is this guy? no.. he cant be...

'maybe, but that'd have to be after we meet and after this stupid set up date'

'when can we meet?'

I didnt know, i was thinking for a while, it must've taken too long because i found myself looking down at my ringing cellphone and 'Salamanders' id came up...

A few weeks prior...

A pink haired boy was looking on two phones and typing random numbers into his mobile. While he was doing this an oranged haired guy around the same age walked in looking rather agravated.

"Natsu! Why are you on my phone?! Again?!" he yelled at the pink haired boy. Said boy looked up and grinned in a cheeky manner.

"who's princess?" Natsu asked, he was curious, Loke usually just used the girls name.

"A girl i am going out with next week, Erza, Lisanna,Juvia, Mira and Levy want me to go out with her." Loke shrugged trying to take his phone back.

"Well, she's going to be my friend since you scared all mine away" Natsu grumbled quickly copying the number into his phone. Loke grumbled something under his breathe and Natsu chucked Loke his phone which Loke almost dropped.

"What did you text princess?" Loke asked curiously.

"I just said hello" Natsu shrugged. Natsu seemed intrigued by this girl and the nickname 'princess' brought back memories of his child hood and a small blonde girl he couldnt quite remember the name of. He remembers playing princess dragons and princes with Gray and this girl he just couldnt pin point her name. After Natsu and Lucy talked for hours Natsu began to feel like this girl was just like the girl he met as a kid. Though he only knew her for a short time, Natsu felt rather protective of that sweet innocent little girl and him and gray used to fight over who would protect her if her dad yells at her again. Of course they both knocked each other out by the time Lucy's father had found them. Natsu chuckled at the memory. He didnt want to reveal his identity so he named himself the 'salamander' it was the name people used to call him as a kid. He loves fire... Natsu didnt expect her to tell him her real name but i guess she got tired of the whole 'princess' thing.

Eventually he decided he liked this girl and wanted to befriend her but he gave Loke a warning.

"Loke, this girl reminds me of someone. if she turns out ta be this girl, run." That was all he said before going back to texting Lucy...

Back to Lucy' phone ringing

Natsu didnt know why, but he just wanted to call this girl. He wanted to hear her voice before Loke. He was now certain that this girl was in fact the girl he once knew. He still hadnt told her who he actually was, but he wanted to wait for Loke to bring her to the apartment because well, who wouldnt want to meet their room mates date? And yeah Natsu was a very nosy guy.
Natsu didnt expect her to answer but when she did his heart raced.

'H-hello?' Her voice sounded so angelic nd bright, now he was sure.. this was his Luce.

'Luce?'

There was a long still silence, did she recognize him? Was she afraid? Why was she so quiet?

'N-Natsu..' Her voice wavered as if she were holding back tears, she remembered him?! But his voice was so different and more masculine.

'That easy to recognize me huh Luce?'

'No, its the way you said Luce the only one who said it like that was you Natu'

'We havent seen each other in years'

'Your fault for disappearing, everyone thought you... you died...'

'Even you?'

'Not at first, i wouldnt believe it, i couldn't, the strong boy i knew wouldnt die without a fight and when they found no trace of you or Igneel i just assumed you left without saying goodbye,but as time passed i began doubting that was the case. So eventually i ran away from home and moved to magnolia, i was sad you were a very close friend of mine and you disappeared. Gray tried his best to fill in your shoes but the princess, dragons and knight game wasnt complete without it's salamander'

'Luce... i can explain-'

'no, it's alright, all that matters is that your alive' Lucy's voice went so soft and quiet it stunned Natsu, he hardly notice when the line went dead. Talking to her again was... amazing.

later that day...

Lucy was trying so hard to get out of this date, she did not want to go to Loke's apartment where Natsu would be. She also knew Gray knew Natsu was alive and was really pissed off at him for not telling her, she wanted to yell at him instead.

"Lucy! You have to go!" Juvia pleaded,

"One does not just stand up LOKE!" Erza said rather loudly.

"Why dont you want to go Lu-chan?" Levy asked in her sweet voice.

"Reasons" Is all Lucy would reply from the other side of her locked bedroom door. Everything was silent and the doorbell rang.

"Lucy! Go get changed NOW!" Erza boomed, All they heard was a squeak and then some rustling and suddenly out came a very unhappy looking Luce in a skirt and crop top. Her hair was curled and she had lip gloss on. The girls just sighed as they opened the door only to see not Loke but Gray. Lucy glared at him before leaving to go into her room slamming her door. she was like a moody teenager again, only moodier and more annoyed.

"Why did Lucy glare at Gray-sama?" Juvia asked confused,

"I will explain later but... i have a feeling she'll run off and ditch the date if i dont say something to her.." Gray sighed and walked into Lucy's room. He closed it softly. Everything was silent for a while until there was a few crashed and bangs and yells no one could make out. Gray then quickly escaped the room a bit battered a bruised.

"Hehe... she's kind of like a lioness... i think i'll leave now" He said before quickly leaving.

Lisanna sighed and entered the room, everything seemed calm and Lisanna dragged Lucy out of her room and literally tied her to a chair so the girls could do her make-up, Though they did get a few growls from the girl. After twenty minutes of that there was a knock on the door, this time it was Loke, and Lucy smiled (it was a fake smile, anyone could tell that) and they left in Loke's bugatti veyron. (i randomly searched car names)

"Hello princess" He greeted.

"uh. hi" Lucy replied she was obviously not wanting to be there. They talked a little then they drove to the nicer part of magnolia in silence, when they reached his apartment Lucy was hesitant to walk in but she walked and Loke brought her to the kitchen where he sat her down and walked out to get something. Lucy looked at her phone to see loads of messages she had been ignoring, she was happy Natsu was alive but... he left her without saying good bye and it was so horrible with out him with her.

"Luce?" A voice said slowly, Lucy turned slowly to that voice to see a pink haired male.

"Nat-su?" Lucy said so slowly

"LUCE!" Natsu yelled as he hugged Lucy tightly, his scent of flames and smoke seemed to be the same, calming as she remembered. Her scent of chocolate and strawberries drifted to Natsu's nose. They missed this, they missed embracing each other, now nothing was in their way. They could do what they wished for once and no one would stop them.

"Dont leave me again" Lucy whispered into his chest as she hugged Natsu back tightly.

"Never" Natsu whispered back, they lifted their heads and looked at each other, Both of them grinning like idiots. Natsu's head slowly going down and Lucy's slowly leaning up until they shared a sweet passionate kiss...
