"That son of a, ugh! I can't believe him!" Lucy barged in the guild entrance with the face of a pissed off Erza. She stomped to the bar and slumped down in her usual position letting out a growling sigh.

"Oh? What's this? Not having a nice day?" Mirajane asked with a suspicious tone in her voice.

"Natsu and Happy ruined the mission we went on today, not like that's a surprise." Lucy groaned while burying her head underneath her arms. "Why can't they do one decent job without setting the place on fire or destroying the whole damn village?"

"Well Lucy, you cant expect Natsu to just change his habits. Natsu is Natsu and he will always be Natsu." Mirajane had a point. But still, Lucy just wanted some peace and quit for once.

"Oyy! Lucy! You left your bag at the train stop!" That flame brain idiot came running into the guild with Happy by his side like always and being as loud as ever.

"I left it because you guys were being idiots!" Lucy yelled back at Natsu, being a tad bit annoyed by his face.

"Nuh-uh! It was Happys' fault!" Natsu said pointing towards Happy.

"Ay- Natsu!" Poor Happy is being blamed a lot now these days.

"I don't care who's fault it was. You both owe me a months worth of rent now!" By this time, Lucy would've definitely burst with anger. "Ahhh- Whatever, just leave me alone" Lucy let out a long sigh and returning back to her position. She wasn't in the mood to deal with them right now. She wanted to figure out a way to get another job without the guys ruining it.

"But Lucy..." Natsu said, seeming a bit upset of the fact that Lucy didn't want to be with him. Lucy looked at him feeling a bit sympathetic for yelling at him before. I mean, it's like Mirajane said; 'Natsu will always be Natsu'.

"...Dont you want your bag back?" Well maybe that wasn't what Lucy was expecting him to say.

"Geez Natsu, at least say sorry." She said turning away from him.

Natsu went up to Lucy and plotted her bag next to her. "Here." He said. "We'll get your rent money soon Lucy" Lucy looked up at him for a second. "So don't worry, kay?" His grin always was comforting.

"Yeah" Lucy blushed a bit and looked away again. I mean come on, you can never stay mad at this bafoon!

"Oy Happy!"

"Aye!"

"Let's go fishing yeah?"

"Aye sirr!" Natsu and Happy went running out of the guild with energetic smiles on their faces, leaving Lucy to sulk in her thoughts. Lucy didn't really mind though, why would she want to go fishing with them anyways? They always make a mess either way. Lucy just sat there with eyes closed.

"They really take a lot of energy out of me huh?" Lucy whispered to herself, still with her eyes closed and mind in thought. She smiled and looked up at her bag that Natsu had set next to her. "How do they keep up with all that energy?" She said smiling. Lucy really is grateful for having such amazing friends.

Natsu and Happy were halfway to the river when something struck Natsu in the back of his idiotic head.

"Oh, wait Happy!" Natsu said,stopping suddenly.

"What is it Natsu?" Happy replied to him.

"...We forgot Lucy!" He ran back towards the guild with the stupidest grin as if he was laughing at himself for being so inconsiderate. "How can I forget Lucy?"

Yes! Finally! Lucy was asleep and comfortable for the first time in two days. Screw the missions for now, lets all sleep in for today.

Yes, sleep in while Mirajane stalks you from the bar and smiling her viscous smile as if she was about to send prince charming after you in your sleep. Now that there gave Lucy the chills.

"Luc-" Natsu was about to shout out her name when he saw that she was asleep at the bar. "Lucy?" He walked up towards her and sat on the stool besides her. He did nothing but stare at her. Now I know what you're thinking. "AW! He's staring at her! How cute!" No. Stop it. This is Natsu kay? And that means, he's staring at her in a "What the hell" type of way.

Natsu kept getting closer and closer to Lucys' sleeping face.

" Why is she sleeping right now? Earlier she was mad and now she's asleep?"

Natsu slowly crept his finger up to Lucys' nose and... poke.

She cringed a little but did not wake up.

"Nothing... Geez"

He poked her forehead this time.

"Nothing again."

Natsu brought up both his hands this time; holding them up near the sides of her face just staring at her.

"What the hell is that idiot doing?" Gray said to himself clear on the other side of the guild.

"Juvia has no idea" said, of course Juvia sitting beside Gray.

Smack!

Natsu smacked his hands on Lucys' cheeks while looking at her in a suspicious way again, holding his hands still on her face.

Lucys' eyes sprung wide open in surprise. A bit scared too.

Well, what would you do if you woke up to Natsu holding your cheeks and staring at you in a suspicious way while your cheeks were stinging with pain?

Lucy blinked twice while trying to focus on the situation while staring right into Natsus' eyes.

"Wake up" Natsu said to her in a stern voice.

Gray and Juvia, also Mirajane were somewhat of ''bystanders'' and just witnessed Natsu do a childish and cruel way to wake someone up.

"That idiot, she's going to kick his ass and I'll be laughing mine off when it happens" Gray said, returning to his meal and ignoring the flame headed moron.

"Gray-sama laughing his ass off?" Juvia went into her usual daydreams, trying to figure out how that would happen.

"Natsu?" Lucy was confused. "What the hell Natsu? I was sleeping! Don't you have any respect?" She said to him in anger. Poor Lucy. Right when she was in dreamland.

"I want you to go with me and Happy" Natsu said, still with his hands on her cheeks.

"I don't want to go fishing" She said, pushing his hands away and laying back down in her same position. "Leave me alone, I'm tired."

Natsu let out a irritated growl and set his hands on the stool looking away towards the guild door.

"If your going to pout than go pout somewhere else" Lucy said trying to go back to sleep.

Natsu turned his eyes to look at Lucy. Then he squinted while looking at her in a stern way.

I dont know. Was he mad? Come on Natsu. Lucy can't always play with you.

"Fine" He shot up from the seat and went towards the other side of the guild.

"Lisanna!" he shouted out to Lisanna who was talking with Elfman about who knows.

"Yeah Natsu?" she replied to him.

"Come fishing with me and Happy?" He asked.

Okay! Whoa! Lets stop here. Why is he asking Lisanna? I mean... WTF bro? Just because Lucy wants to take a twenty minute nap? Come on! Okay okay. Natsu isn't that type of guy though right? So let's move one.

Lucy opened one eye to look at what Natsu was doing. She didn't really seem to care though. But she was a bit surprised that he went to Lisanna.

"Sure! I'de love to go fishing with you guys!" Lisanna exclaimed.

"Natsu! You left me alone!" Happy came gliding in and feeling a bit angry with Natsu for leaving for so long.

"Oh! Sorry Happy! I came back to get Lucy." Natsu explained.

Happy looked towards Lucy. Lucy quickly closed her eyes to pretend sleep.

"But she's sleeping Natsu..." See! Even Happy knows that she's asleep, which means not to wake her up! Stupid Natsu.

"I know, that's why I'm inviting Lisanna instead. If Lucy wants to sleep then I'll let her. I don't want her getting mad at me again."

Lucy looked at Natsu again. "I see..." So that's why huh?

"... Natsu, Don't tell me your using Lisanna as a backup for Lucy?" Happy said, looking up at Natsu with a worried look.

"Wah?! -" Natsu was actually shocked himself. "I wouldn't do that! Don't be messed up happy!" Of course Natsu would never do that. Lisanna is a part of the guild. They're all family.

"Haha, don't worry Natsu. I'm not offended if that is what you're trying to do. But know that I can never replace Lucy." Lisanna was a nice person after all. She herself can see that Natsu and Lucy had a close relationship.

"Whatever let's go fishing now! I'm starving!" Natsu shouted while marching towards the exit.

Lisanna and Happy followed behind him and Lucy watched as they left the guild, still trying to pretend she's asleep.

Of course Lucy felt a bit upset that he couldn't of been content with just him and happy. "I mean, they've went fishing alone plenty of times. Why all of a sudden, does it need to include a third person?" She thought.

"I'm going home everyone. See you tomorrow." Lucy said while walking out of the guild with her bag. "Hopefully tomorrow is a better day" She sighed and walked home on the edge of the river like always.

"Lucy! Be careful!" the random fishers in the river are always so concerned for Lucy.

Lucy let out yet another sigh. She raised her key up in the air and - Poof.

"Puuuun"

"Hey Plue" Lucy lifted Plue up and held him in her arms while she walked towards her apartment door.

"No Natsu or Happy today I guess." She said, looking around her apartment just in case they were hiding. "Agh! Why do I care! Of course I knew sooner or later I'd be replaced!" Lucy stopped. Noticing what she just said, she was a bit shocked. "Am I being replaced?.." She slowly sat down in her bed trying to think of what she herself was even thinking.

"Puun Puun" Plue said, struggling to get up on the bed.

"Oh, sorry Plue. Here you go" Lucy said, picking him up and sitting him besides her.

"Puuuun"

"Do you want some sweets? I think I have some in my bag... That is if Natsu didn't get to them first" She got up and went looking into her bag. "I thought I had more than one?" She said while peeking in there. She took out the lollipop and noticed it had a note.

We saved it for Plue! Aye!

Lucy smiled. "They're such idiots." She got up and handed the lollipop to Plue. "Here, at least they had enough sense to know you'd be here"

"Puun Puun"

"I love them too" Lucy said, letting out a soft smile to Plue.
