I've been hurt too many times. I don't know if I can hold out anymore. Will there ever be anyone who'll love me for me?

A young blonde, lively 17 year-old girl walked down the street, smiling happily next to the person holding her hand. It seemed as though the man next to her said something funny which made her have a fit of uncontrolled laughter.

"Stop making me laugh, Yuji!" Lucy said, gasping for air after her fit.

"But I love to hear your laugh." "It's cute." he said.

"Whatever, heheh ok then, thanks for the amazing date." Said Lucy, while blushing uncontrollably.

"Its fine, by the way, thanks for the expensive gift!"

"It's nothing, really, bye!" She quickly pecked his cheek and ran off inside her huge mansion with her father waiting inside.

As she looked out the window, she saw her boyfriend of 2 months walking home. "He's the one, I'm sure! I don't want a boyfriend who wants me for my looks or my money; I want someone to love me for me."

Lucy Heartphilia was a young woman of high status. She grew up extremely wealthy with a loving mother, and a reserved father. Although her father hardly interacted with her, she knew he loved her all the same, until the tragic death of her mother, which made her father more reclusive than ever. He refused to look at her, never even greeting her as he used to. Her father saw too much of her mother in Lucy and it caused him so much pain. To Lucy though, it felt like she lost not only her mother, but her father too.

She soon learned that her father didn't want anything to do with her and learned to keep out of his way. As she grew older, she became cold and hardly responsive. Only with utmost importance would she speak.

Until one day, she saw a boy her age fall down from the tree she was under whilst drawing. She looked at him, startled.

"…."

"Ahaha….sorry, I wasn't spying you or anything!" Said the strange boy.

As usual, Lucy said nothing.

"….."

"Ummm…well hello! My name's Yuji! What's yours?"

She just looked at him, and started to pack her things, got up and started to leave. As she took her first step away from him, he grabbed her arm.

"Wait, don't go, let's play!" Yuji said.

She looked at him and pulled her arm out of his grasp and walked away.

That was when she was ten, four years after the death of her mother. It was just the beginning of Yuji's and Lucy's friendship. Yuji was relentless in trying to be friends with the young, cold, and beautiful heiress. It took Lucy two years until she would start opening up to him. Yuji was smart and kind, patient with her even when she was stubborn. He was strong too, like the time when Lucy went out on a walk after a petty argument over flowers with him, and stalked off, fuming into the forests around her huge estate.

She ended up wandering for a while, lost in her thoughts, not watching where she was stepping, until she ended up falling in a ditch.

"Ouch….that hurted..."

She looked up to where she was and stared at the huge hole in which she fell into. She knew there was no way she could get out of this, especially with her now, swelling ankle she received from falling down. She cried for help for hours, but to no avail. Suddenly, she sensed some movements and turned to look, and saw a forest Vulcan.

"Ooh-ooh, a WOMAN!" the Vulcan bellowed.

As he crept closer to Lucy, she yelled "Get Away from me!"

"No-No, girly, you're gonna be my wife!"

As he came up to her, she cried and then she heard a loud noise. "Owwww….

What a failure. So much for a grand entrance eheh…"

"YUJI!"

"Hey Lucy, sorry about earlier, but now's not the time. Now I have some savin' to do."

Yuji then picked up a stick and started attacking the green Vulcan. Of course, he was no match for the big monster. In a matter of a few moments, he was already exhausted. "Ha-Ha, you are no match for me, boy!" said the Vulcan.

"Shut up! I'm going to take Lucy back home!" yelled Yuji.

"No, the girly's gonna be my wife!" the Vulcan yelled back.

When he said that, Lucy suddenly thought about being the Vulcan's wife and holding a baby Vulcan, HER baby Vulcan, and started to gag. "NOOOOO!" yelled Lucy.

As the Vulcan turned around to see what the yelling was for, Yuji took the chance to hit him in his sacred spot. "Ha! Take that, now for sure you won't be able to have children! Mwahahaha!"

And then he ran to where Lucy was and carried her bridal style and ran all the way off, far from the enraged Vulcan.

Of course, those were the times when she didn't know Yuji was actually playing her all this time.
