Once upon a time in Fairy Tail, Lucy was asked to do an interview with a, how shall we say it, 'famous' interviewer.
"Hello Lucy! Thank you very much for accepting this interview"
Lucy shook her head. "Oh, don't worry about it. I was kind of surprised though that you only wanted to speak to me."
The interviewed laughed mischievously in response. "That's because Natsu and the others have had their share of fame. I thought it was about time for good old Luce." the weird woman gave an extra thumbs up to emphasize her statement and Lucy laughed awkwardly.
Then the interviewer turned thoughtful. "And of course there is that other reason too."
Lucy cocked her head curiously, but otherwise stayed silence. A short, fairly one-sided glaring match ensued, before the interviewer threw up her hands in the air. "Ah! I can't hold it anymore. Spit it out, what do you think of Natsu?"
Lucy coughed out the water she just had been drinking.
"I didn't mean it literally." the interviewer laughed while patting Lucy's back.
"W-what do you mean?" Lucy finally asked when she regained her breath.
"Playing dense now? Come, come, Lucy, we know you better than that." the interviewer shook her head and Lucy had the feeling she had just asked the wrong question, because an evil glint appeared in the eyes of the other woman. "Okay, let's start easy." The woman began, tapping her chin as if in deep thought. "How would you describe your relationship with, let's say, Erza."
Lucy's mouth made a perfect o-shape, relieved that the question actually wasn't that bad and answered "I guess like a big sister."
"Then, how about Mirajane?" the interviewer continued, now idly picking her nails.
"An aunt?" Lucy almost asked. "Although you could say she's an older sister also."
"I see, I see." the interviewer said. "Gray?" She inquired.
"Err, not really like a brother..." Lucy pondered.
"What about a distant nephew?" the woman filled in almost impatiently.
"That's kinda harsh." Lucy protested, but was ignored.
"So!" the interviewer leaned forward and grinned like a cheshire cat. "How about Natsu?"
Lucy turned slowly red and ducked her head. "W-well, he is..."
"He is?" the woman asked, getting closer and closer.
"He is..." Lucy whispered.
"Go on, go on!" the interviewer urged, now almost sitting on Lucy's lap.
"H-he is..." Lucy stuttered, tried to shake herself out of it and tried again. "He is-"
Right at that moment, Natsu bursted through the door.
"Luce! Let's do a job!" he yelled. Lucy had become beet red and was determinately not staring at her teammate. Suddenly it was as if a small light bulb had gone on above her head and she shot up.
"Y-yeah, let's go!" she yelled back. She turned to the interviewer and bowed slightly. "I'm sorry, I have to go, I hope you have your answers."
"Well, actually-" the peculiar woman began. She was, however, cut short by Lucy's quick retreating steps.
"Hey!" the interviewer yelled after the girl, but Lucy was already at the door and grabbed Natsu by the arm.
"Whoa, you are really red Lucy." Natsu laughed loudly.
"N-no I'm not." Lucy defended and quickly pulled her teammate after her, disappearing from view.
The shoulders of the interviewer slumped. "Aw, I was so close." She wined
"Who are you anyway." Marco muttered in his drink, and then yelped when he was given a 'friendly' kick under the table.
My first english one-shot! I know it's really short. I guess it's somewhat an experiment ≧▽≦
