CHAPTER 2- A SMALLER TWIN SISTER (Normal)

"Natsu, I think you're freaking her out a bit." Happy whispered to the pink haired dude as he observed Lily intensely with curious, black eyes. Lily just kept her mouth shut as she looked at him, then at her sister, then back at him again

"So you're Lily, huh?" he asked while grinning at his new found friend.

"Yeah. And you're Natsu?" she replied.

"Yup! How did you know me, by the way?"

"Well, Lucy tells me a lot about you. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT." She answered sarcastically then turned to the blue feline, "Ah, this must be Happy!"

"Aye! Nice to meet you, Lily!" he greeted her. He was Happy to know that Lucy's sister wasn't as grumpy as her.

"I don't think I said THAT much about Natsu." Lucy said, suddenly joining the conversation.

"Oh yeah? Then why are most of your letters all about him?"

"That's just because I stay with him more often and he does a lot more things than the rest of my friends!"

"I do?" Natsu asked.

"He does?" Happy was the next to ask. But

"Whatever," Lily muttered, "wait a minute, Happy, are you thinking what I'm thinking? Maybe, just maybe,"

Happy understood immediately and cooed, "They liiike each other!" he continued Lily's sentence while she giggled softly.

Natsu, being the curious type as he is, was listening and overheard. He gave a reaction that was half-shocked and half-embarrassed. Lucy couldn't help overhearing too and was unable to speak as her face showed PURE EMBARRASSMENT.

Natsu's face relaxed and he said, "Well, they're right, you know." He told Lucy. Hearing this, she felt her blood rush to her face and felt her heart beat faster and faster

"W-what do y-you mean? Lucy asked Natsu with the best straight voice she could manage.

"You kidding? I like you as my nakama of course!" he answered with his usual signature grin. Lucy just couldn't explain why she felt quite disappointed but still smiled back and looked away to hide her pink cheeks from them. She didn't notice that Natsu was staring at her smiling when happy asked a question.

"Does this mean that Lucy likes Natsu too?" Happy smiled with an innocent face and Lily couldn't help but snicker behind him. Natsu just looked at her and waited for her answer.

"I...well...he...but..." Lucy sighed in frustration, "Yes. I do too." And with this comment, the four of them seemed contented and stayed quiet throughout the walk to Lucy's apartment.

=IN LUCY'S APARTMEMT=

"Ahh...Nothing's more than eating with two of my favourite nakama!" Natsu said, patting his stomach,"And Lily too, of course!

"Why in the world did I even let these two eat in my house? Gosh, Lucy, you are an idiot!' Lucy thought as she watched Natsu grabbed another chicken leg and Happy and Lily laugh at him. She was about to stand when another thought crossed her mind.

"Oh, I almost forgot to ask! Lily, why did you decide to go home this year?" she asked her sister, who was still laughing.

Lily stopped laughing although she was still smiling and answered, "You see, looks like I'm gonna have a looong day-off sice my boss is gonna do some stuu and a couple of repairs in the shop."

"Shop? What shop?" Happy asked and Natsu stopped eating to listen.

"Well, Lily works in a flower shop as a florist. But obviously, that's the least of what she can do!" Lucy answered for her sister with a beaming face. Lily turned her face away to hide her embarrassment.

"O-Of course it's only part-time!" she said immediately.

"I like flowers!" Happy exclaimed.

"I think it's cool!" Natsu said, eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Anyway, that's not my only reason of coming here." Lily said as she looked down.

"Then what is?"

"I also came here," she continued, "to visit Mom."

Natsu and Happy fell silent because they knew that it wasn't really the time to talk. Lucy just nodded and there was a long silence when...

"Wait a minute! How long exactly are you going to stay here?" Natsu asked. Lucy and Happy both groaned. Lily just smiled.

"Maybe about eight months, I guess..."

"EIGHT MONTHS?" Happy and Natsu looked REALLY tortured with her answer, "Lucy, what have you done?" they mumbled in unison.

"No more yummy snacks."

"No more fish."

"No more delicious fires."

"No more fishing."

"No more comfy bed."

"No more cozy tub."

"No more warm Lucy." Natsu stopped abruptly when he realized what he just said. Even if he had no actual reason for feeling ashamed, he just did.

'What the heck is this freaking feeling?' he thought. He felt warm whenever he was with her. So what if he did? She was his nakama, so it was normal to feel that way. He shook his head and cleared the thought but didn't even notice that he was staring at Lucy's brown eyes when he saw that ALL eyes were on him now.

"Ehehehe," he laughed nervously," err-at least we have a new playmate now!" was the only excuse he could use.

"Aye! The more, the merrier!" Happy said, unintentionally backing Natsu up. Just then, the two of them glanced at Lucy, then Lily, and back at Lucy again. They smiled and Natsu spoke up.

"Ne, Lucy,"

"Hmm?"

"You are aware that your sister looks exactly like you right?"

"Well, duh, isn't it obvious or you're really just dumb?"

"Probably both!" he replied while grinning, then continued, "Could you tie your hair up like Lily's?"

Lucy tied her hair and the boys were amazed at what they saw. Even Lily was speechless.

"Sis, your me!" Lily exclaimed.

"No, I'm you!" Lucy corrected her and the three of them laughed.

"Aye! You two could pass for twins! Lily could grow up a bit more, I guess. No offense." Happy told them.

"None taken." Lily smiled.

"Wow, what a night! Well, Lucy, I think we better leave now. Thank you for the meal!" Happy told Lucy, who was starting to pile up the dishes.

"What? We can't leave yet!" Natsu protested. Lucy took this in and thought about it.

"Sis, why don't you let them sleep here?" Lily whispered to her sister. "They seem nice, after all."

"What? Of course I won't! They cause too much trouble!"

"Please, sis?" Lily looked at her sister with pleading eyes. Lucy hated it when she does that!

"Don't you dare give me those eyes!" but to no prevail, she did. "I said don't! Lily, I can't- ooh alright!"

"Thanks, sis!"

"Whatever." She turned to the boys and said, "Alright. You can stay and sleep here." And quickly added, "But only for tonight!"

"Alright!" Natsu jumped on the sofa and said, "I get the sofa!"

After washing the dishes, Lucy showed Lily to her bedroom and said goodnight to her. She went back to the dark living room and went closer to the boy and his cat on the sofa. She smiled and whispered to his ear, "Goodnight, Natsu." and went to bed.

that's all for now! pls review! tnx! :)
