Lucy P.O.V.

"Why does it have to start raining?" I said getting soaked by the water droplets that were now falling down.

Natsu asked me to meet him at the tree in the South Gate Park today. He said he had something to tell me.

As I approached the tree, I looked around for pink hair. I didn't see him.

Where could Natsu be? I wandered.

"Oh?" I said. I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see who it was. There was my pink-haired friend.

"Natsu, you're here. Finally. I thought you forgot we were suppose to meet today." I said to him with a slight smile.

"Lucy." Natsu said as he approached me.

"What is it Natsu?" I asked in confusion. Natsu didn't seem like his usual self today.

The rain started coming down a little harder.

"I have to tell you something, Lucy." Natsu said. He was acting really weird.

"You can tell me Natsu." I said to him, trying to lighten the mood somehow.

"I know you probably thought I was too dense to realize my feelings for a girl if I liked her. Well, I did realize my feelings. For you, Lucy." Natsu said.

I couldn't believe my eyes. Natsu said he liked me. He actually said it.

"Well duh, we're nakama right?" I said trying to deny the fact that he said what he said.

"No Lucy. I like you more than nakama."

I was shocked by this. Natsu shouldn't have been able to do this on his own. Mirajane must of helped him.

"Natsu..." I said simply.

I couldn't believe it. Natsu said it. He said he liked me. And at that moment, Gray passed by. He kind of stopped to look at us. Natsu either didn't notice him or he was tring to keep his cool.

Gray P.O.V

As I passed by the tree in the South Gate Park, I noticed Natsu and Lucy standing there. I remember overhearing Mira and Natsu talk about him wanting to tell Lucy how he feels about her. This was probably what he was doing with her right now. Maybe I can make things interesting.

Lucy P.O.V.

"Hey Flame Brain!" Gray shouted, walking over to us. What could he want now?

"Did you complete our bet?" Gray asked Natsu putting an arm around him.

"Bet?" I asked curious about this 'bet'.

"Yeah! Me and Flame Brain made a bet that if he could tell you he liked you, then I would pay him 20,000 jewel. I'll pay ya later Natsu" Gray explained and then walked off.

"This was all a...bet?" I asked, tears forming in my eyes. "You don't really like me?"

"No Lucy, Gray was lying." Natsu tried to say.

"You don't have to say anything Natsu." I said, tears streaming down my face.

I walked over to him and slapped him. Hard. Natsu was the worst person ever. How dare he lie to me and manipulate my feelings.

"I hate you Natsu!" I said as I ran away from him. Tears were now coming out of my eyes like the rain, that was now pouring down.

I ran as fast as I could all the way to one of Magnolia's hills on the outskirts of town. Once I got there, I sat down by a tree and cried.

I hate you Natsu, I thought.


Authors Note: So what did you think of my first chapter of my first fan-fic? Drop a review is you liked it, or hated it. And this is NOT a GrayLu story. It's pure NaLu, I think.

Natsu: Hey why did I have to get slapped?

Erza: Because you deserved it!

Natsu: B-but what did I do?

Erza: You hurt Lucy's feelings! Feel the wrath of my sword Natsu!

Natsu: Happy! SAVE ME!

Happy: Sorry Natsu I need to do the disclaimer. ScarletLillies does not own Fairy Tail, but she does own the way we act and talk in this story. If you have any suggestions on how to make the story better, tell us in a review.

Me: Happy?

Happy: Yeah?

Me: Get the fuck outta here!

Hehe, um... Baii!
