"Oi, Lucy?" A purple headed Natsu said, towering 3 feet above the Celestial mage.
"Na-N-Natsu?" The mage stuttered looking up at the fire mage. "What happened to your hair? How'd you get so tall? What's wrong with Happy?"
The two turned to stare at a blue cat flying around in a circle saying "Aye Sir!" over and over again. Lucy sweat dropped and turned to face Natsu.
"Mleh, Lucy." The fire mage said, sticking his tongue out at the mage. "The question is how did you get so short. My hair has ALWAYS been purple duh." He turned his back to the mage and stuck his tongue out again.
"You two make me so mad!" She yelled and stormed off to be stopped by a now green happy.
"H-Happy?"
"You're not going anywhere, Lucy." The cat sneered, jumping in front of the startled mage.
"Yeah, Lucy." A now dark green Natsu taunted appearing from behind the cat.
"Guys?" Lucy stammered, backing up just a bit. Who were these strange people? Lucy thought. These aren't the Natsu and Happy she knew. What's going on?
"Poor Lucy." Natsu laughed menacingly, hand aflame. "No one is going to save you today. Say goodbye."
"AYE!" Happy smirked, drawing his claws.
The two stepped toward the frightened and confused girl. She reached for her keys, yet they were missing. She took two steps back and tumbled on a rock that appeared out of no where.
"Oh no." She whimpered, looking up at her 'friend'. "BACK AWAY!" She yelled "You're not Natsu! Or Happy! Get away from me!"
"On the contray," Natsu smirked, rearing his hand back. "That my dear, is where you're wrong." He thrusted his hand forward sending a fireball in her direction.
"STOP IT!" she yelled and then blacked out before it could hit her.
SMALL LINE
"OP T!" She yelled sitting up sweating lightly. She surveyed her surroundings and realized, it was just a dream. Sighing in relief she laid down on her comfy mattress to think. That, was a horrible dream. As a matter of fact, that was a nightmare. But Natsu is my best friend, why would I dream he would do something so horrible?
She turned over to curl up into a ball when her leg hit something.
"Eh?"
She blinked twice and lifted the covers.
"NATSU?"
The fire mage simply kept snoring ( a/n with a cute anime nose bubble ; ) ) and turned over the other way.
"No wonder!" She yelled a bit more quietly this time. She looked at the edge of her bed and saw Happy sleeping just as soundly as Natsu. She smirked, jumped out of her bed and walked to the side the edge of her bed.
Happy was curled up in a tight ball mumbling something about fish, Natsu, and Lucy being weird. She scowled, cupped her hands and bent down towards the Exceed.
"WAKE UP AND GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YA FURBALL OR ATLEAST MY BED!" She yelled into his ear.
"AHHH! LUCY IS SCARY!" He yelled and flew into the main part of her apartment sobbing.
"Heh," She smirked and walked over to the sleeping dragonslayer. She bent down into his ear, took a breath but the mage grabbed her hand before she could say anything.
"Now Lucy," he smirked sitting up. "Do you honestly think you could make that much noise and think I wouldn't wake up?"
Lucy sat up abruptly, blushing. So stupid! She thought.
"I was awake when you kicked me, baka." He continued yawning. When he finished his yawn, he stretched out and turned the other way.
"Oh," she said walking away. Well it was dumb of me t - wait. Nani? She turned around abruptly and went over to the dragonslayer.
"THIS IS MY HOUSE! WHY ARE YOU HERE? GET OUT OF MY BED!"
"Ow, Lucy dang." Natsu moaned, turning to face her. "Why'd you yell in my ear?"
"Why'd you break into my apartment and climb into my bed, not yours, in the middle of the night?"
"Because I missed you." He smirked, using the charm you rarely see from a buffoon like him. But Natsu knew that this face and that voice was a weapon that could be used in situations like this, and that weapon had to be used wisely.
"Wha-?" She blushed, then her face turned stone cold.
"Oh shi-" He yelled and then was punched in the face by an angry gorilla.
"You liar!" She roared, attacking the mage.
"HAPPY! HELP ME!" he pleaded, thrashing around while Gorilcy (a/n XD) 'mauled' him.
"NO! LUCY IS SCARY"
"PLEASE!"
"NO!"
"SHE'S HURTING ME!"
"TOO BAD!"
"FINE THEN!" He smirked, or managed much as a person being attacked could smirk, and said, "Oi, ow, Lucy, ow, I just want you to know one, ouchie!, thing."
Lucy regained her composure and looked at the poor, beaten boy. "Nani?"
"Coming here was Happy's idea."
"Eh?" Lucy said, turned towards the door.
"Uh-oh." Happy gulped, dropping the fish he found in Lucy's refrigerator on the floor.
"Ha~ppy." She said in a scary tone with a dark aura.
"EEP!" The cat yelped and ran under the couch.
Lucy ran into her living room, looking around frantically. Where'd he go? She thought continuing to search the room. "You darned neko! Come out of hiding!" Finally she peered under the couch and came face to face with the Exceed.
"Found you! Hehhehheh!"
"AHH!" Happy yelped. "Lucy don't hurt me! Please!" He scooted up against the wall, shivering and shaking.
She stopped for a second then concluded that she shouldn't hurt the cat.
"Okay, Happy. I won't hurt you. Gomen." Lucy apologized, standing up to brush her legs off.
"OH THANK YOU!" Happy exclaimed grabbing onto Lucy's leg. "I'm sorry Lucy! I won't do it again!"
"N-n-n-n-n-NANI?" Natsu shouted running out of her bedroom. "If that was me, you would have gone ape and tried to kill me!"
"Well," Lucy said, "The difference between you and Happy is that Happy is a cat, most of the time it's your idea to come here, and Happy is well, a cat."
"Still…" He murmured, turning his back towards them.
BEHH! Happy taunted sticking his tongue out.
"THAT CAT IS NOT INNOCENT!" Natsu yelled turning around, pointing at Happy.
"Ne, Lucy," Happy grinned innocently.
"What is it Happy?"
Happy smirked at Natsu and immediately continued to grin at Lucy. Natsu eyes widened in horror when he realized what Happy was about to do. Natsu shook his head back and forth rapidly silently pleading for Happy not to do this. Happy just continued to smirk at Natsu and finally cast his gaze back to Lucy.
"NO Happy don't please!" Natsu begged.
Lucy looked suspiciously at the fire mage, then she glanced at the Exceed. She arched her eyebrows and bent down to the cat's level. "What?"
"It was Natsu's idea to give you nightmares."
Lucy's eyes widened and she glared at Happy. "WHAT?"
"Don't shoot the messenger Lushy!" Happy pleaded and flew into her room.
Lucy then turned her attention to Natsu, backed against the wall, shaking with a blue aura. (A/N you know when their scared and the background is like, kinda blue and they also have blue lines coming from their face? No? Yes? Maybe? Back to the story, gomen ne!)
"Nat~su" she said, death glaring at him with darkened eyes and a scary voice.
"H-Hai? I'm sorry Lucy, it just seemed so fun you know, and yeah, so, um, etto, like I'm, I'm so sorry, don't hurt me!" He babbled, backing up a bit more.
Lucy sighed and turned away, shaking her head. "Fine, whatever."
"Eh?" Natsu and Happy gasped.
Natsu walked up behind the Celestial mage, and tapped her on the shoulder. "What's wrong Lucy? Are you okay?"
"Don't make me slap you." She stammered, not turning around.
Normally that would have scared Natsu off, but he sensed there was something wrong. He frowned and backed up a bit, just in case. He motioned for Happy to come closer to him, and then they walked around to face Lucy. A lone tear was on her cheek and a scowl was on her face.
"Lucy!" Natsu and Happy exclaimed.
"I'm so sorry Lucy." Natsu stammered. " I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Was your dream really that bad? I'll never do it again I promise!"
Tears began to stream down her face. Natsu waved his arms around in a panicking manor and stepped a bit closer to the blonde.
"Oh my goodness, Lucy I'm sorry!"
"Natsu, I told you not to do it! But you did it anyway! Now look!"
"You helped!"
"You bribed me!"
"But you helped me!"
"But you made her cry!"
Natsu stopped cold. I made Lucy cry. He thought. The girl I have feelings for, is crying because of me. Wait, what? I don't like Lucy? Do I? I mean she's just a-
Happy interrupted his train of thought with an ahem. He looked down to see Lucy sobbing into her hands, back towards him.
"Lucy! Please stop crying I'm sorry!"
"Your, sniff, a meanie, sniff sniff."
"I'm sorry!"
"Really sorry?" She asked looking up at him.
Natsu bent down and cupped his hands to her face. "Yes, truly sorry." He said apologetically and brought her into a warm hug. When he brought her out of the hug, she was as red as a tomato. She's so cute when she blushes. Wait WHAT? Where did tha-? But his train off thought was interrupted when Lucy began to laugh. Natsu blinked once, then blinked again and then he just stared at her.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"That you would believe I would cry that much from you giving me a nightmare!" Then the Celestial mage cracked up again.
"You faked that?" He asked in disbelief.
"Yep," She giggled, "Its pay back for making me have that horrible dream! And it wasn't entirely fake, just to let you know."
Natsu sighed. I mean, I guess I deserved it, so I can't be mad at her, plus, it's better than getting beat up, and a lot less painful for me too. He shuddered at the thought of Lucy going gorilla on him this morning.
"Well, I guess I deserved it Luce, I'm sorry."
Lucy blushed and looked away. However, from the corner of her eye, she could have sworn Natsu was staring at her, with slightly pink cheeks.
"So, besides trying to give me nightmares," She said, rolling her eyes before continuing, "Why are you guys here?"
"Oh Lucy you reminded me!" Happy exclaimed excitedly. He flew toward his fish, grabbed it then flew over to Lucy, and sat on her head.
"Happy get down!" She yelled.
"No~," He drawled and munched on his fish. "Tell her, Natsu."
"Well, Luce," Natsu began taking a seat on the couch. "In two days, the Fairy Fourth Festival is occurring!"
"What's that? I've never heard of it."
"It's when we celebrate the foundation of Fairy Tail! It was founded long ago on July 4th. Every year on July fourth, we party hardy," Natsu did a small dance and continued to describe it. "Barbeque, drink, play games, win prizes, and at the end of the night, we watch the fireworks!" Happy made a loud spewing noise when Natsu said fireworks, startling the two mages. Natsu pouted, waggled his finger at Happy and then continued, "Master said something special is going to happen this year so it will be the best FFF yet! I can't wait! The whole guild starts preparing today! Everyone has to help, and the newbies, you, cough, cough, Gajeel bleck, Wendy, cough, Carla, cough, cough and Juvia cough, are given a special introduction on the day of the Fest!"
"Special introduction?"
"YEP!"
Oh no. Lucy thought. This is not good. I don't know what this introduction will be, but when it comes to special, Fairy Tail REALLY tends to go over board…
"Yep Lushy!" Happy exclaimed, flying off her head. "But don't think you can get off easy 'cuz you're new, we all know how lazy you are…"
"I AM NOT LAZY!"
"Sure…"
"Well," Natsu sighed, standing up. "If we don't hurry, we're going to have to run laps around the guild, and that'll be a pain for you since the guild has been remodeled."
For me huh? Lucy thought (A/N imagine her with the look on her face and the voice from the maid episode when she was like "I can hear you!")
"IKUYO!" (A/N Let's go! Spelled by ear, gomen.) Natsu shouted, taking her by the hand. They ran out of the apartment and down the street towards the guild.
"Aye Sir!"
"Jotto matte, Natsu slow down I'm gonna fall!"
"No time for that!"
"My shoe is untied! EEEK!" Lucy tumbled over her shoe lace and braced herself to hit the ground. When she didn't, she looked up and saw Natsu holding her close to his chest, bridal style. He's so warm. She thought. Wait what?
"Silly." He chuckled. "You should be more careful, so you don't damage that pretty face of yours." (A/N he used his hidden talent again! XD plus this time his hair is blowing in the wind! = D )
Lucy blushed and looked at Natsu. His chest began to vibrate and then, "BWAH HA HAHAHA!" He laughed loudly. "You should see your face, you're as red as Erza's hair!"
"OOOH!" She shrieked angrily. "URUSAI! Put me down!"
"But I have to carry you to the guild because you move so slow…"
"I do not move slow!"
"I'm not putting you down."
"Yes you are!"
"No!"
"Fine, Natsu."
"You like~~ each other."
"SHUT UP NEKO!" They both exclaimed.
"We don't have time for this," Natsu muttered and began to run even faster. "Keep up Happy!"
"Aye Sir!"
"Donchu drop me!" Lucy shouted against the wind.
"I won't." Natsu whispered softly so Lucy couldn't hear.
