It's so sad T.T I love it.

Well, buckle up, cause we're taking a trip on the feels train!

…Natsu won't be too happy about that XD

NeonTiger101:

Sounds good so far. At least Lissanna isn't evil.

True. She's going to fight for Natsu, but she won't be doing it in a bitchy way, she's just fighting for his affection. Friendly competition :D

{~•~•~}

It was a sunny day in Magnolia, no cloud in the sky with birds chirping their song. Some find it beautiful; some find it annoying because it wakes them up from their slumber.

To Lucy, though, it was another long day of avoiding Natsu and Lisanna. She felt bad about it on a level nobody could understand, but what could she do? If she hung around them, she would end up saying something out of jealousy and end up ruining their friendship on a bad note.

Lucy got out of bed and headed to her bathroom to take a shower. When she was done, she dried herself off, wrapped a towel around her and went back into her bedroom. She almost jumped out of her skin when she saw her window open and Natsu sitting on her bed with Happy on his head.

Her face returned to an emotionless state as she said, "What are you guys doing here?"

Natsu's eyes widened at the sound of her monotone voice. "I want to talk to you."

"Get out." Lucy said firmly.

"Why?" Natsu replied in confusion.

"Get. Out."

"Fine." Natsu huffed as he jumped out the window with Happy, who surprisingly didn't say anything. Since he had an apologetic look on his face, Lucy guessed he knew what was going on.

That makes two.

She walked to her dresser and grabbed her clothes. She was wearing a pink tank top with blue jean shorts and pink flip flops. Lucy made her way over to her desk and tied her hair into a single ponytail at the side of her head and the rest hanging down.

She grabbed her belt with her keys and whip and buckled it around her hips. As she made her way out the door, she locked the apartment up and left for the guild.

{~•~•~}

Lucy opened the guild doors and walked inside, immediately hearing chatter from her guild mates. She smiled wholeheartedly as she made her way over to the bar and greeted Mira.

"Hey, Lucy. What can I get you?" She asked.

"A strawberry milkshake, please." Lucy smiled.

"Alright. While I'm making that, you can tell me what's going on in Natsu and Lucy land." She wiggled her eyebrows.

Lucy groaned and Mira laughed as she walked away. Lucy felt a tap on her shoulder and turned around to be greeted my Levy. "Hey, Lu-chan. How are you?" Levy said as she sat down in the barstool next to Lucy.

"I'm fine. How are you?" Lucy replied.

"I'm good. Jet, Droy, and I were wondering if you would want to come on a job with us?"

Mira walked back over and handed Lucy her milkshake. Lucy said thank you and began drinking. "Sure, Levy. I can go now if you want." She answered when she was done.

"Okay." Levy said as she got up.

"So you guys are going on a job together?" Mira asked when Levy walked to the job board.

"Yeah, I don't have anything to do today and my rent's due soon." Lucy answered.

Mira smiled. "So what's going on with you and Natsu?"

Lucy blushed. "N-Nothing. I-I just need space, t-that's all."

Before Mira could say anything, Levy came back over with Jet and Droy in tow. "You ready, Lu-chan?"

Lucy smiled and nodded in agreement. She jumped, startled when the doors slammed open and in came Natsu and Lisanna. Holding hands. Laughing and giggling. Lucy felt a surge of jealousy spike through her chest and grimaced when they started walking in their direction.

Lucy looked at Levy for help and she nodded in understanding. She, Jet, and Droy walked slightly in front of her towards the guild doors. But, sadly, their efforts failed.

"Oi, Lucy!" Natsu called.

Lucy flinched and started walking faster toward the guild doors as she said, "C'mon guys, let's go." She grabbed Levy's arm and bolted for the exit with Jet and Droy trailing behind.

When they left, Natsu frowned. He was hurt that she deliberately ignored him. He walked with Lisanna over to Mira. "Yo, Mira. Where are they going?"

"They went on a job." She answered shortly.

"Damn, I was gonna ask if she wanted to go with us." Natsu pouted.

Mira smiled. "Maybe next time." She walked away to attend a guild mate sitting at the bar.

Lisanna nudged Natsu with her elbow. "We can still go together, right?"

Natsu turned to her and smiled. "Yep, let's go choose one." Lisanna pecked him on the cheek and they walked over to the job board. Natsu was happy, to say the least. He wasn't happy about Lucy avoiding him, no, but he would get her talk to talk to him one day. Today was just not that day.

The only thing that was on Lucy's mind during the whole job was Natsu, and the only thing on Natsu's mind was Lucy.
