Here's Chapter 2 guyyyyss! Really short, but you know what? Deal with it, cuz long chapters aren't my forte. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: Obviously I am incapable of making something as amazing as Fairy Tail. So bye.
"I'm back!"
Lucy looked up to see a certain pink haired guy giving her a toothy grin. "Told you I would," he said.
Lucy blinked. "I didn't actually think you'd come back," she answered, a little shocked. Natsu plopped down beside her as she inspected him. "You look like a popular type; a jock or something," she thought aloud. "Don't you have practice or whatever?"
Natsu laughed. "Not bad, Luce!" He shrugged. "In fact, I do have football practice, but I'll just skip it."
But she didn't know that he skipped it for her.
Lucy jumped up, alarmed. "Natsu, you can't!"
Natsu looked surprised by her sudden outburst. "Whoa, whoa, calm down Luce. Why?"
Lucy shook her head. "Natsu, you signed up for a football team and you're expected to take on your responsibilities, you can't just skip like that!"
Natsu stared at her, then snorted. "Looks like you're a goody two shoes, huh?"
Lucy turned red for a brief moment, then rolled her eyes. She grabbed Natsu's arm (which felt very muscular) and pulled him on his feet. "Come on, I'm taking you there. What school do you go to?"
"Fairy Tail Academy," he responded.
"Good, that's not too far from here." Lucy nodded, took Natsu's hand, and forcibly pulled him along with her.
"What? Luce, you don't have to walk me there. I'll go if you really want me to," Natsu said. "Besides, do you even know where it is?"
"Of course!" she said, looking at him. "Right next to my school, yeah? Sabertooth Academy?"
"You go to Saber?" Natsu asked, scowling. "Ugh, that means your school has the most arrogant football team know to man,"
Lucy giggled. "Yeah, they're pretty bad. Every time they face another team at a game, I secretly root for the other side because our jocks are so cocky and stupid."
The two branched off into another world of conversation, discussing the small inquiries of life to just simply laughing and smiling. As Lucy walked along side Natsu, she got a feeling in her chest that made her feel the same wonder and security of sitting under that precious sakura tree, the same feeling of her safe little world away. How strange.
The illusions and fantasies slowly came to an end as they arrived at the entrance of Fairy Tail after their short seven minute walk. The yells and the piercing whistle could be heard in the distance, coming from the field behind the school.
Natsu grinned. "It's a good thing you brought me here, Luce, now that I think about it-Coach Gildarts would've skinned me alive if I skipped practice completely."
She smiled in return. "I'm here to help, I guess, but you might wanna get down there, because you're already twenty minutes late."
Natsu's eyes suddenly grew two times larger, and his expression represented pure terror. "Oh, my gosh," he began, "Holy CRAP! I forgot that Erza was our manager – she's gonna KILL ME!"
Faster than Lucy could even process, he was already gone. After a few short moments, he heard rather loud yells and a scream that resembled Natsu's voice.
Lucy spun on her heel, not wanting to know what they do to the poor members of their football team. She quickly left, collecting all her thoughts into her head. But oddly, only one thought came to mind:
I want to see you again.
Yes? No? Eh, whatever.
BYEEEEEEE
