Lucy had just woken up from a peaceeful sleep. She didn't want to get up; She was warm and comfortable, and under her fuzzy covers. She lied there a few minutes, enjoying the warmth, before slowly pushing herself up with the palms of her hands, and getting up, not realizing the fluffy pink hair that had been next to her.

She walked over to her wardrobe and picked out a lime green T-shirt and a little pink these really work together? She mentally asked herself. Shrugging, she headed over to the bathroom to get ready.

She took her toothbrush out of the little tin it had been placed in, and applied a pea-sized amount of her favorite minty toothpaste. She put the toothbrush in her mouth and scrubbed until her teeth were clean. Then, she brushed her hair and put a little blue stretchy band in it to give hrr a nice little side ponytail, while some of her hair stayed down. She'd decided not to take a bath that day, since she had just took one last night. Instead, she put on a few sprays of her vanilla-strawberry perfume. She slipped into her new outfit before adding a touch of eyeliner. But hey that was all she needed.

She checked herself out in the mirror before quietly saying to herself, "I am lookin' good!" She smiled and walked out of the bathroom.

She was about to walk out the door when she heard a strange noise. Grrrrrrrr... Grrr... After she heard it she felt a sharp pain in her stomach. Haha, looks like I'm hungry. I should just eat here quickly so I don't have to pay to eat at the guild.

Smiling to herself, she opened the fridge. Grabbing two eggs, she closed it and proceeded to make herself breakfast.

After she ate her omelette, she looked over at her bed when she heard a grunting noise coming from it. Why is the blanket on my bed... moving?

She instantly knew who was in her bed. "RRRRRRRRRRR! NATSU...! GET OUT OF HERE!" If it were any other guy, she would've been blushing like crazy, but she was so used to Natsu doing this that it had no effect on her.

Ignoring her, he sniffed the air and said, "You made eggs? Where's mine?"

"Yeah, I made eggs! But that was before I knew you were here!"

"Aren't you gonna make me some?"

"No!"

"Awww, why not?" He whined childishly, "I'm so hungry!"

"THEN EAT AT THE GUILD!"

"But I want your cooking, Luce!" He pouted.

"Ugh. Fine, but just this once." She said, an annoyed look on her face. There's just no arguing with Natsu.

He flashed Lucy a toothy grin before saying, " Okay! Lets go!" He dashed into the kitchen. Lucy sighed, trudging slowly after him.

While she was getting ingredients from the fridge, she felt Natsu's eyes on her. He was also staring impatiently at her while she was cooking his breakfast.

Finally, he sighed. "Come on, Luce! I don't care if it gets burnt or not! Just turn up the heat so it'll cook faster! I'm STARVIIIING!" He complained.

"Be quiet Natsu, don't you want it to at least taste good? Isn't that the whole reason you wanted MY cooking?"

"Well yeah, I guess..." He trailed off. Suddenly the room became silent, almost awkward.

"Ah, your food is done..." She said, putting the plate down in front of him.

"YAY!" He yelled happily, before scarfing down the omelette in 3 bites.

"NATSU! T-that was a FOUR EGG OMELETTE!" She was astounded by the speed of his eating, almost as if it were a skill.

"Aaaand, your point being...?" He asked nonchalantly.

"*SIGHS* Never mind. Let's go to the guild."

"Okay!" He exclaimed.

While they were walking to the guild, Natsu couldn't help but feel annoyed at how slowly Lucy was walking. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

"Lucy," He stopped walking and murmured her name in a deep, serious tone.

"Y-yes?!" She asked nervously, surprised by the sudden change in his tone.

"..." He stared intensely into her eyes, causing her cheeks to turn slightly pink. "Race you to the guild!" He said in an enthusiastic voice, laughing.

"Jerk!" She said and punched his arm, "I'm not racing you."

"Hmph." Natsu tried to think of another way to get there faster. "Oh!" He accidentally said aloud, earning him a strange look from Lucy. He just grasped her hand tightly and started running towards the guild.

"ARRRRGH! NATSUUU!" Lucy yelled angrily, trying to break free of his grasp, but failing.

When they got into the guild, they forgot that they were still holding hands.

"Awwww," Mira said, obviously pleased, " So you're a couple now?"

Lucy pulled her hand away from Natsu, "I-it's not what it looks like!" She yelled, her face turning red.

"Actually," Natsu said, "It's exactly what it looks like." Everyone looked surprised when he said that. "I mean, if Gray was standing by us then all three of us would be a few. Because a single is one, a couple is two, and a few is three, right?" Everyone sweat dropped.

"Sure, Natsu, sure." Lucy groaned, walking to go sit at the bar.

"So," Mira said sweetly, an evil smile plastered along her face, "Do you liiike Natsu?"

"Of c-course I don't like Natsu! H-how do you even think of things like this?" She said, flustered.

"Naaaatsuuuuu!" Mira yelled, " Come here!"

Oh no. Oh no. OH NO!

Natsu walked over at sat at the stool next to Lucy. "Yea?"

"Natsu," Mirajane smiled sweetly, "Do you liiike Lucy?" CRAP! CRAP! CRAP! Lucy thought to herself.

"Yeah, sure!" Natsu said happily, and Lucy felt her cheeks get hot. "She's my best friend!" Mira facepalmed, but suddenly smirked.

"Oh? Well Lucy here said that she didn't like you..."

"What?" He looked at Lucy with confusion and hurt in his eyes. "You-You don't like me, Luce?"

"Ah! Well! I-I like you, Natsu, but just, just not in that way, ya know?"

"What way?" He asked, curiosity in his voice.

"Ugh! I like you Natsu, as a friend."

"No, as a BEST friend." Natsu corrected her, and she rolled her eyes. "OOOF- GRAY! WHY'D YOU JUST PUNCH ME?!" Natsu yelled and pounced on Gray, who punched Natsu, sending him flying a few yards back, and he collided with Lucy, and they both fell on the floor. Natsu was on all fours over Lucy, who was lying on her back.

"Oops, sorry Luce, that ICE BRAIN just punched me really hard."

Lucy tried to sit up, accidentally scooting forward an bumping her own nose into Natsu's. But the fact that their lips were touching took them a little while to notice. Lucy's face reddened to a deep crimson before she got up and ran out of Fairy Tail.
