It was a day like any other at the Fairy Tail guild—Gray was lounging around naked, Erza was eating cake, Cana was drinking excessively, Elfman was proclaiming what it means to be a man, etc,etc. Lucy was at her usual place at the bar conversing with Mirajane while she waited for her pink-haired pyromaniac partner to come in. Maybe they could go on a job today, she thought. Although he was destructive and a bit of an idiot, Lucy loved her missions with Natsu. She got to spend time with him, improve her magic, and make money all at the same time! Just then the subject of her thoughts entered the guild hall with Happy following closely behind.
"Yo Lucy, I had a great idea!" Natsu yelled as he walked towards her.
"Okay Natsu, what's your great idea?" Lucy asked.
"Well, I was thinking that it would be nice to have a reliable source of fire to eat while we were on missions. Now, I know that wouldn't be a problem if we had Romeo or Macao or even Levy along, but most of the time it's just you, me, and Happy. Even when we add Erza, Wendy, and the ice pervert, none of you can make fire. Then I remembered, Lucy has those spirit thingys that make copies of people."
"Their name is Gemini, Natsu." Lucy interupted.
"Yeah them! Anyways, they should make a copy of me cause I figger since they won't really be me, I might be able to eat their fire. Plus two of me means I can take down the bad guys twice as fast!"
"That's an interesting idea Natsu. I might not be able to do it, but we can give it a try." Lucy said taking out her keys. "Open Gate of the Twins, Gemini!" Lucy shouted brandishing her key.
"Pi-ri pi-ri. What do you wish of us Lucy?" Gemi and Mini asked together.
"Okay. Do you see Natsu over there? Do you think you can make a copy of him?" asked Lucy.
Gemini thought for a moment before going over to Natsu and touching him. Suddenly there were two Natsus in the guild hall.
" Alright Lucy, i knew you could do it!" Natsu enthused. He turned to Gemini/Natsu. "Now make some fire so I can eat it."
Gemini/Natsu just stood there with a stange smile on his face. Everyone in the guild hall was watching by now, wondering what was going on.
"Hey Lucy" Gemini said "You should hear some of the things that Natsu thinks about you." Gemini started to laugh. "Naughty naughty Natsu." he admonished. "Shall I tell you some of them?"
Lucy just stood there shocked. The real Natsu on the other hand, leapt into action. "No!" He clamped his hand over Gemini/Natsu's mouth. "Close the gate! Close the gate, Dammit!"
The whole of Fairy Tail was in an uproar. There was suddenly alot of loud laughter and someone even started chanting "Let him speak, Let him speak."
"Oi Flamebrain, you really didn't think this through, did you?" Gray laughed doubling over.
"Hey Salamander, your face is redder than your hair." Gajeel jeered.
"He llliiiikes her!" Happy giggled.
Mirajane at this time had come around the bar and was fast approaching the two Natsu's. Realizing Mirajane's intentions, Natsu yelled out. "Lucy, help me out! Close the gate! Please!"
Lucy shook herself out of her stupor. "Gemini, you can go back now." Why oh why were her celestial spirits always so embarrassing? Why did Gemini think it was a good idea to say that to the entire guild?
If Lucy thought she was embarrassed, it was nothing to the way Natsu was feeling right now. He didn't think his face could feel more hot even if he was actually on fire. Great, now Lucy knows that I think dirty perverted thoughts about her, he thought.
"Natsu, that was hilarious." Gray said. "Did you forget that Gemini not only can copy your magic, but also knows what you're thinking?"
"Shut it, Gray!" Natsu yelled.
Natsu couldn't stand it anymore. He stormed out of the guild.
"How disappointing" Mirajane said sulking. "I thought we were finally going to get a confession out of him."
Lucy smiled to herself. Well, at least now she knew that Natsu felt something towards her. Maybe she ought to find out. "Come on Happy, let's go find Natsu and let him know it's okay.
"Aye Sir!"
Besides, if he still won't admit his feelings, she thought, I can always call Gemini back.
A/N: Okay, I realize that Natsu probably is stronger than Lucy and thusly she would not be able to copy him, but I feel Lucy is a lot stronger than we give her credit for. Besides, this is a fanfiction! Suspension of Disbelief people!
