"Natsu, Naatsu... it's time to wake up. " Natsu heard a soft voice calling him. The said boy only groaned and turned around, still sleeping.
The person signed. " Guess we'll have to try the hard way, huh? " the voice sounded a lot like his step-mother's.
" Natsu, last warning. Wake up. " Natsu once again groaned.
" Only 15 more minutes. "
When he heard footsteps fading, he thought that they left him alone so he can sleep. They made the right choice.
Or so he thought.
Suddenly, someone splashed a bucket of icy cold water over him. Natsu jumped from his bed, screaming like a girl. He ran around his room like a maniac, trying to warm himself with Igneel and Grandeeney on the floor, holding their stomaches from laughing so much. Finally, when he calmed down, he glared daggers at the person who did that.
" WHAT THE HELL, OLD MAN! "
When Igneel calmed down, he grinned. " And good morning to you too, sunshine! "
" Did you had to do that? Couldn't you just wake me up like a normal person?! " Natsu sounded pissed.
" When it's you, it's impossible. It was like trying to wake up a grizzly bear. " Igneel laughed.
" Okay, come on you two. It's time to get ready. " Grandeeney smiled. She gave Igneel a peck on the lips and kissed Natsu's forehead before leaving the room.
Igneel looked at Natsu. " Get ready, we're leaving in 30 minutes! " he said excited before walking out of his room.
Natsu groaned and walked to his bathroom to take a shower. After he was done, he brushed his teeth and exited the bathroom. He put on a black T-shirt, white shorts and his favorite scaly scarf before walking downstairs with his suitcase.
Happy ran to him and jumped in his arms and licked his face. Natsu laughed and patted his cat.
" Morning Happy. " the cat meowed in response. He walked into the kitchen, greeting Wendy.
" Morning Natsu. Are you excited? " Wendy asked smiling. Natsu sat next to her.
" Not really. "
" You're not a morning person, are you Natsu? " Grandeneey asked serving breakfast on the table. Natsu thanked her and began eating.
" He's grumpy every morning. I even once heard him saying Lisanna's name a few times while he was sleeping and he had that big smile on his face. " Igneel laughed and Natsu blushed madly.
" Shut it, old man, or I'll kill you with this fork! " he threathened.
" Well, let's see you try, son! " Igneel challenged him, raising his fork.
" No playing and especially no fighting with cutleries on the table! " Grandeeney yelled, making both men shake in fear.
" Y-yes ma'am! "
" Good. " she smiled proudly. " Now finish your breakfast. "
After they were done, they put their luggages in the back of the car. They got inside and were about to take off.
" Sorry Natsu, I wish I could help you with your transportation sickness, but I don't know how. You'll have to survive for the next 3 hours. " With that, they took off with Natsu holding his stomach, feeling ill and his face green.
" I thuihnk I'hm guna be suick. " he managed to say, laying down.
" Hey, I've got an idea! " Grandeeney beamed. " Why don't we sing a song? "
" That's a good idea honey! In 3, 2, 1... "
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! *clap clap*
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands! *clap clap*
If you're happy and you know it then your face will surely show it
If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
Poor Natsu has to survive the travelling, not to mention their horrible singing. Man, how he wished for this trip to be over, he couldn't take it any longer.
And after 3 long, agonizing, stupid Barney songs hours, they made it. Natsu crawled out of the car, when he recovered, he yelled in the sky.
" YES, IT'S FINALLY OVER! " With Happy jumping in the sky, meowing in response.
" Well, here we are. Ocean City! " Igneel said, looking around the place. " Now let's go to the hotel and unpack. Then we can go to the beach! " he said excitedly.
Grandeeney giggled. She turned to the others. " Come on, kids. We don't want your father to do something stupid, now do we? "
" It would be funny if he could humiliate himself. " he mumbled, but Grandeeney heard him and gave him a glare. Natsu gulped. " I'll be with you in a minute. "
The woman smiled. " Okay Natsu, coming Wendy? "
" Yes, mom. See ya later, Natsu! " she said before following her mother.
Natsu signed. Suddenly, a ball hit him on the head, making him feel dizzy.
" Oh my God! I'm so sorry, are you okay? " he heard a female voice ask him.
" Yeah, I'm alr- " Natsu couldn't finish his sentence because the moment he looked up, his eyes widened. He was staring at the most beautiful girl he has ever laid eyes on. She looked to be around his age or a year younger than him with long golden hair in curls, wearing a two-piece white bathing suit with a pink flower on her left breast, with a perfect body, long creamy legs. Her big brown eyes stare at him with worry and curiosity. Natsu realized what he was doing and looked away, blushing madly.
" Uh, it's alright. I'm fine. " he picked up the ball and with shaky hands gave it to her. " Here. "
The girl smiled, which made his heart beating fast, taking the ball in her hands, their fingers brushing against each other. " Thanks. "
Natsu smiled. " My name is Natsu by the way. And what's your name? "
" My name is Lucy. Are you new? I've never seen you around. " the girl asked curiously.
" Yeah, we just arrived. We're setting in. " he scratched the back of his head with a slight blush on his cheeks. Lucy laughed at his cuteness.
Happy meowed, making both teenagers to look down.
" Oh! " he picked up his cat. " Lucy, this is my best friend, Happy. Happy, this is Lucy. " he introduced them.
Lucy giggled and patted the blue cat's head, making the cat purr at her soft touch. " It's nice to meet you Happy. He is so adorable. " Natsu smiled in agreement.
" Hey Lucy! Are you going to talk to your boyfriend or are we going to continue playing?! " a brown-haired woman yelled, making both teens blush madly.
" He's not my boyfriend, Cana! And I'm coming! " she turned to Natsu and smiled. " It was nice meeting you. I hope I see you around. "
Natsu nodded and smiled. " Yeah, me too. "
" Bye Natsu! Bye Happy! " She turned around and walked away, looking over her shoulder and smiling before running towards her friends.
Natsu watched her figure disappear. He couldn't believe what was happening. Her beautiful face still on his mind.
Now he knew why people believed in love at first sight.
