The chapter is going to be quite short but it will get longer as the series progresses. I will try to get chapter 2 up tomorrow. Don't come after me on Natsu's first name. That is part of the plan.

Chapter 1: The Confession

70 years ago, X784

"Lucy-san, please be my dance partner for the coming up dance." A man kneeled down to ask for her hand.

"Lucy-san will be dancing with me…"

"No, with me.."

A group of guys were crowding around her requesting to be her dance partner whom she rejected all.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I had already decided my partner." Lucy replied politely as she smiled mesmerizing all the guys. A man in designer's suit walked up to her.

"Lucy, shall we go?"

"Leo, here you are. I'm ready when you are." Lucy waved at him. The man was known as Leo. Without any warning, the hunk carried her in bridal style leaving all the rest in awe. At the door of the guild, two "mummies" were watching the scene.

"It's all your fault." The shorter "mummy" complained.

"Why is it my fault when you are the one who barged in to start the fight, to the extent of destroying my concert?!" The taller one retorted.

*Flashback*

Lucy Heartfilia is the heartthrob of the Famous Fairy Tail. She was very popular among most of the guys in the guild and outside the guild being known as the Princess of Fairy Tail, including the innocent Salamander, Natsu Dragion.

He was honoured when Lucy asked him to be his dance partner and Lucy handed him a bag with an outfit asking him to put it on on the day of the dance.

"Yes yes yes!" Of course he agreed. His heart was throbbing hard.

Natsu took the chance to ask Lucy out (to Natsu, this is really hard to finally ask her out, he did not know how he did it) to watch the fireworks together. The day finally came, he hope he will be able to take this chance express his feeling to her.

Natsu and Lucy settled down on a hilltop nearby. He was too nervous to even try to speak up and Lucy was not starting any conversation anyway as the fireworks was going to start.

Natsu's hand slowly started creeping towards Lucy's. As he was reaching her, a loud gasp from her and her removing her hand breaking Natsu's thought. Lucy was covering her mouth in surprise. She was staring wide-eyed at the sky. Natsu was confused as he looked up at the sky.

"I LOVE LUCY"

Lucy was blushing from embarrassment while Natsu was fuming in anger. He had his confession plan all planned out. And to have the fireworks confession to thwart his plan, he just cannot accept it.

Natsu clenched his fist and let out a heavy breath to compose himself. He cannot afford to let Lucy get worried about him and his "senseless anger". He could smell the culprit and he knew who was behind it. Natsu smiled and turned to Lucy informing her that he had something to do and ask her not to worry about it.

Natsu raced back to the guild and kicked the door opened.

"Gajeel, you bastard!" he yelled resulting in all eyes turning to his direction. Gajeel was currently singing to his heart content for his own concert with others "suffering in agony".

"I was finally able to find the right mood to confess to her and yet you had to destroy it." Natsu stormed towards the stage and punched the hell out of Gajeel who was confused what was going on.

Gajeel stood shakily from the impact. "What the hell was that for!"

"What was it for?! I haven't even gotten a chance to confess to her and yet you did it before me?! To think I was finally able to find such an ambiance for a date while wearing a matching outfit!"

"Huh?" Gajeel raised a brow in confusion. "What the hell are you talking about? "Gajeel know nuts about what Natsu had been whining about. Natsu approached him in a battle cry. To Gajeel, to disrupt his concert is a nono. He welcomed Natsu in his offensive stance.

And there they were, all hurt and mummified in the infirmary healing up. And as a result, Natsu was unable to become her dance partner being all hurt and immobile.

*End flashback*

"And I still don't know what are you angry at me about?" Gajeel mumbled looking down at the fellow "mummy".

On the other hand, a man in suit with afro hairstyle was gripping his tool which fired the firework tightly.

"Is that not enough to confess my love to Lucy?" This man had been trying hard to get her attention ever since falling for her at first sight. And he thought putting firework was the best way to gain her attention.

So much for the attention. But yet he was unable to admit that Gajeel, the journalist of the country of Edolas was the culprit of confession to Lucy. He had tried to woo her sister before with no avail.

Gajeel shuddered as he thought about how her sister "tortures" her good "boy" friend of hers.
