DISCLAIMER: Fairy Tail Belongs To Hiro Mashima
Today was warm, sunny, and the perfect day for my birthday! That's correct, you heard it right people. It's July 1th and that means that it has been 18 years since I was born, well technically it's been 25 years if you include the 7 years stuck on Tenrou Island. But lets' not be so specific.
As I walk towards the guild I noticed that it was a lot quieter today, usually the guild was so loud you could hear it all the way across town. Maybe they have something planned for me.
I took out my mirror and fix my hair, you know just in case. What? You don't know what they could have planned. I push open the doors and was greeted with a chair in the face. Ouch! That really hurt. Seriously I was excepting balloons and streamers but not a full on brawl, I should've known better.
"Lucy!" They said panicked. Oh yes, I'll just sit on the floor while you guys shout at the top of your lungs. Do you sense the sarcasm in my voice.
As I pick myself off the floor I hear way too many people talking, something along the lines of "oh shit!", "what do we do!" and the occasional "Gray–sama."
All of a sudden a booming voice yells "Silence! Everyone just act normal."
I don't know what just happened but in a second everyone suddenly started acting like everything was normal. Definitely suspicious. I let out the breath I was holding and decided to play along, I walked up to Natsu who was eating a piece of meat. Nothing out of the ordinary.
"Hey Luce." ok. Smile, check. Eating, check. Cheerful attitude, check. He's not acting weird so it's fine right.
"Hey Natsu, do you know what day it is today?" he looked panicked for a second before it went away. "Of course I did, happy birthday!" He remembered! Yes!
"So what did you get me?"
"... Um here, you like the fatty part right?" he said while handing me a piece of the fatty meat he was eating.
"I DO NOT LIKE THE FATTY PART!"
"Eh? Didn't you tell me you liked it?" I was about to reply to him but Erza walked up to us and dragged him away by the ear. I looked across the room where they're whispering about something, and now I wished I had dragon slayer ears so I'd know what their saying. But since I didn't I'll just sit here until their done.
I guess I spaced out cause when I snapped out of it Natsu was right in front of my face waving.
"ahh! Natsu! Don't scare me like that."
"Lucy you're weird. I didn't even try to scare you, you just started screaming into my ears." Oh, well that was embarrassing.
"Oh, sorry."
"It's fine. Let's go." Go? Go where?
"Eh? Where are we going?"
"To your birthday present."
So in the end Natsu took me out for what I considered to be a date. We spent the whole day outside shopping and looking around the area and I thought it was pretty nice to have a day together with Natsu, we had so much fun we didn't notice the time. It was already 7:00pm so Natsu and I went to eat dinner, and of course we ended up getting kicked out after Natsu nearly burned the place down.
This isn't how I thought I was going to spend my birthday but it's was fun anyways so it's fine. I couldn't ask for a better one.
"Lucy?"
"Yeah?"
"I feel like I'm forgetting something."
"It's probably nothing."
~A Couple Hours Earlier At The Guild~
"Ow ow ow ow. Erza stop pulling my ear it hurts."
"Natsu I need you to do something for me."
"Huh?"
"Keep Lucy busy away from the guild until 12:00pm so we can fix the party."
"Oh, ok. But what do I do?"
"Take her on a date."
Hehe. I felt my face light up. "OK!"
~The Present~
"Yeah you're probably right."
Oh how wrong were you Natsu.
