"I'm fine" Lucy reassured her friend for the tenth time. She was obviously not fine but she was not about to tell that to Erza. Knowing her she would chase down the guy and beat him till he becomes pulp, or something close to that. She had just been dumped via text, the lowest of the lowest ways that one can be dumped. It wasn't like she crying her eyes out, but It left her somewhat disappointed and she knew it would take me a few months to get over this guy. It was always like that, always getting excited and ahead of herself when it came to dating and then next thing you know either they dumped her or she dumped them. She had only dumped someone once, and that was because they were moving away. It was her who was always the one to be dumped, she was considered to expectant, with high standards and what not. Yes she did have high standards, but she wasn't about to lower them, one can never settle when it came to these things. Besides it wasn't like she asking for someone who looked like a super model, but for someone humble with a heart and who cared for her as much as she cared fore them. However to the male population she was unrealistic.

"Lucy, twenty minutes ago you couldn't stop that potty mouth of yours, and now you're telling me you're fine? I know how these things go, first you curse the guy out, then you go through a numb state and then you fall into depression. Iwould know since I've seen you go through it plenty of times already."

"Erza I'm fine really, I was just...surprised. Nothing more, not disappointed nope, just surprised."

"Alright then, but if you need me to punch someone, you know where to find me." Actually she didn't know where to find her, since she had yet to go over her house. Lucy only knew she lived near the school, where a bunch of other kids from their school lived.

"You know Erza sometimes I want to live in the Forrest with a bunch of bunnies and a whole pile of books, it just seems much more peaceful."

"Wanting to finally go off to your natural habitat Lucy? Except of course, you're more of a mutated bunny rather than a normal one," said a mocking voice from behind her. She knew that voice, she knew it so well, but Lucy couldn't bring herself to even begin to get her hopes up.

"Natsu! Whatthehellareyoudoinghereohmygosh!" Before he could even decipher what she had said she threw herself at him with the full force of her body.

With an ompf, he cought her and gave her one of his signature grins before saying, "Nice to see you too Lucy"

"But what are you doing here! You never told me you were going to visit."

Natsu was her best friend since highschool, she arrived over at fairy tail highschool in the middle of freshman year. They met by accident when a stupid senior tried hitting on her and when she ignored him he began to get getting touchy. Then natsu came and started to punch the guy in every place possible. Naturally Lucy should have ran away, but Lucy was anything but normal or same for that case. Once natsu had finished and the guy laid in the floor holding his stomach and coughing, she went over and kicked the guy in the guts. Natsu looked over at her and the hint of a smirk began to form in his face.

Lucy turned to him and nonchalantly said, "I could have handled him you know"

"Oh really? What were you going to do? Stab the with your bunny hair clips?"

Lucy got red, and for a moment Natsu swore he saw smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils.

With a humph Lucy turned on her heels and stomped away form Natsu. A chuckle managed to escape natsu's mouth, but then he followed right after Lucy.

"I was joking, besides you could have never taken him down," he saw Lucy's face and figured he was only making it worse. "Don't get me wrong, you look like a healthy strong girl, but he is quarterback of ther football team and ther best wrestler in he wrestling team," he explained.

"Yeah we'll I know a thing or two myself," Lucy counter argued. Her anger began to fade she had to admit she could not have possibly taken the beefy guy that was now laying on the hallway floor. Even though she knew karate, she wasn't even a blackbelt yet.

"Whatever you say princess."

Lucy froze on her steps and turned around to Natsu. "What did you call me?" Her anger began to boil once again.

"Woah there," Natsu exclaimed with his hands up in defeat. "I was just reading off from this note, it says 'have a great first day princess.' I guessed that was your name." In his hands he had a yellow sticky note, and then he gave it to her.

Lucy looked at the note, which she guessed was from her father. It was still weird for him and her to be on good terms. She had a rollercoaster type relationship with her father. "It's from my dad," she muttered, and then in a louder voice said, "princess is not my name."

"So then what is your name?" Nastu asked as he hurried after her.

"Lucy," said the girl.

"Hmm, I don't know, I like Luigi better, has a better ring to it." Lucy looked over at Natsu and ,gave him a look that could potentially kill him, if looks killed.

"Haha, I was joking Lucy. Besides you're not worthy of the name Luigi."
Natsu ran before Lucy could grab him and begin to stab him with her bunny hairpins. As Natsu ran he was laughing, but Lucy's blood was boiling beyond natural temperature. From that day on both teens stayed side by side, even if Natsu did make Lucy's blood boil from time to time. Eventually she grew to love and care for him as a best friend.

Lucy still had her arms around Natsu, and Natsu's lack of air began to show. Erza had to pull her off, otherwise they would have a dead Natsu and an even sadder Lucy.

"I'm not here to visit," Natsu's voice showed confusion.

Lucy then pouted and said, "Well then why are you here?" Natsu went to college at the other side of the world. Lucy hated it, she hated having her best friend so far away-even though they talked everyday, and he was the reason for her expensive phone bills-she woke up everyday missing his idiodic ass.

After highschool Natsu had wanted to study abroad, typical Natsu wanted to explore and go everywhere. He called them missions, and in a way they were, since he went and did charity work. Lucy remembed the picture Natsu had sent her of the house he had help built. She could not believe all the adventures he had, and she was happy for him but she still wanted him back. And when he showed at her college one year later she almost died of excitement, happiness and confusion.

"Now Lucy is that the way to greet your best friend?" Natsu teased. He sucked in a breath mentally preparing himself for what was to come. "I transferred colleges, and so now I will be studying here for the next three years."

All Lucy heard was ringing in her ears for a few minutes. And then her brain had processed what Natsu had just said. She screamed first, one of those ear piercing screams that girls gave. Now Lucy was not a screamer but considering the news she had just received, nothing, mattered. Then came the hug, and Natsu swore this would be the day he would die. She wrapped her arms around his waist, using all her strength to embrace him. Erza just stood by the side looking at the somewhat cute and yet disturbing scene.

"Oh Natsu yey! Oh my god, I can't believe this! Oh everything holy and sweet in this world, I am so happy!"

At this point Natsu was red both from the lack of air, and from the sudden rush of blood that overcame him. It was a good thing Lucy's head was snuggled into his chest so she could not see his blush. "Yeah Luce, I wanted to surprise you. And I have another surprise."

Lucy raised her head up to meet Natsu's eyes, and her eyes sparkled with excitement. "Oh another one? What is it?" As Lucy asked the question, she was bouncing on her feet.

Natsu wanted to pick her up and pinch her cheeks and swing her around like a doll, she is so damn adorable he thought. However he didn't know if Lucy would like the next surprise. "We'll you see, my decision was kind of spontaneous and I didn't plan anything I just did the paperwork to transfer schools. But I honestly only have my clothes and a few bucks. So I thought maybe I can crash over at your place for a while...?" He left the sentence open as he watched The excitement of Lucy's face slowly disappear.

Natsu knew how Lucy was about personal space. He would always invade it in highschool when he constantly crashed and broke into her house. The year he was away was the only time she never had to worry about anyone walking in on her when showering or changing. She wasn't upstuck, just special about the whole privacy thing, that was why she didn't even have a roommate. Now Natsu was asking for the impossible.
