Lucy Heartfilia just had the most wonderful bath. She had returned home after a week-long job and decided to treat herself with a hot bath.

After changing into her satin pyjamas, she walked into her kitchen to find 2 Fairy Tail mages sitting at her dining table. "Natsu! Happy! What have I told you about coming into my apartment?" She yelled. Happy flinched at Lucy's raised voice, but by now he was mostly used to it.

"Hehe... Luchee! We came to give you your share of the bounty!" Happy giggled immediately smiling once again. "Here you g-"

"But if you don't want to, Happy and I'll just use it to buy fish!" Butted-in the salmon-haired dragonslayer, Natsu Dragneel. Lucy huffed, "I'm taking the money, thanks!" She snatched a red envelope from Natsu's hand causing him to flush red. "No!" Lucy was surprised by the sudden envelope. "That's... personal business..." He muttered looking at the floor. Lucy could tell Natsu wasn't happy to tell her what was inside.

"Fine," she said, "Happy. The money!" The blue cat quickly handed her a fistful of crumpled up notes. "Bye Luchee!" He called far to quickly as he hoisted Natsu up by his waist and out of Lucy's house. Completely confused, Lucy crossed off February 1st off her calender. "Oh! It's almost Valentines day," thought Lucy as she climbed into her soft bed, which, unfortunately, constantly smelt of Natsu.

The next day, Lucy, oddly, was determined to find out what was in the envelope, but she had no need to look as she found it sitting right on the dining table. Natsu had forgotten the envelope during his hurry to rush home.

Lucy placed her perfectly manicured finger-nails on the red envelope, but paused before opening it. Anyone would think about snooping into their best friend's business.

"Sorry Natsu," Lucy thought, "But you shouldn't leave your stuff lying around at other people's houses!" In fact, Lucy had once found Happy's backpack underneath her pillow. The worst part was the smell of fish that wouldn't come out of her favourite pillow! She banned Happy and Natsu from her house for a month. A one. Whole. Month. Poor Happy. He was gutted because it was all his fault.

Lucy peeled back the top part of the envelope and pulled out a piece of paper covered in almost illegible writing. She held her breath as she read the letter.

Hey Lucy!

As you might know, we've been friends for ages and you're a pretty cool person. Just wondering, do you want to meet me at my place on February the 3rd. I want to talk to you about something. No need to bring anything. Come if you want.

Hope to see you there,

Natsu

PS Don't ***********************************************

The last part of the letter was extremely illegible, to the point Lucy couldn't read it. She just hoped it wasn't important.

"Maybe Natsu didn't leave this here by accident..." Thought Lucy who was grinning at the thought of Natsu Dragneel writing a letter, "He's probably going to ask me to come with him on a mission, but usually he crashes into my place." Lucy gave the letter no more thought as she travelled to the guild.

Lucy immediately walked over to the table filled with Levy, Juvia, Wendy and Lisanna.

"Hey, Lu!" Chirped Levy as Lucy sat down, "Juvia was just telling us about her Valentines day plans." Lucy turned over to Juvia who was still babbling to Wendy and Lisanna. She didn't even pause to look at Lucy. Although, Lucy wasn't surprised. Juvia had always considered Lucy a love rival to her crush, Gray Fullbuster.

"So, Juvia thought she would surprise Gray-sama at his house every single day from now with a gift for Gray-sama! Then Gray-sama will love Juvia's gift so much he'll fall in love with Juvia and marry Juvia!" She squealed.

Lisanna and Wendy smiled as if they were clearly enjoying what Juvia had to say, but Lisanna surprised Lucy by saying, "Juvia, that sounds wonderful! Would you like me to help?" Ever since they joined forces during the S-class wizard trials, they had become great friends.

Levy, like Lucy, had had enough with Juvia's babbling and decided to change the subject, "So... Lucy, what are you doing for Valentines day? Gonna hang out with Natsu?" She giggled and winked at Lucy. Lucy turned bright red and discovered that Lisanna had flushed a deep rose colour as well. "Um... I'm going to go hang out with Big Sis. Okay? Bye!" Lisanna said quickly and dashed off to the bar where Fairy Tail's angel, Mirajane was serving drinks (to mainly Cana.)

"That was weird..." Whispered Lucy to Levy, because Juvia had gone off to chase after Gray and Wendy went to talk to Charle. Levy nodded and new that something was going to happen on Valentines day. She didn't even need Cana's fortune telling to think that.
