''Uh... Do you like... ponies..?''

''What the.. ponies? Just what do you mean by that Natsu?''

''I'm just asking you whether you like it or not. It's just a simple question.''

''Okay..? I don't know what he's talking about right now...'' Lucy taught in her mind.

''Oh great.. What should I do now? How am I suppose to confess her, Happy?''

Happy starts flying out of the guild out of nowhere. He stops and flies to Natsu.

''What seems to be the problem, Natshuu?

''Well you see..''

''Come on just tell me or else I won't help you with your problem.''

Natsu whispers in Happy's ear.

''I want you to help me confess Lucy..''

Happy starts to grin. And whispers in Natsu's ear back.

''Hehe.. You like her, don't you, Natsu?''

''Well I um... It's not like that, okay?''

''You likeeeeee her...''

''S-shut up...''

Natsu looks away from Happy.

''I can help you with that Natsu. Happy smirked.

''Really? Thanks a lot Happy!''

''With pleasure!''

''How am I supposed to do this?''

Happy carries Natsu to the bushes.

''Just say I want to go fishing with you. Just the two of us alone.''

''What the..? Just what do you mean by that, Happy?

''Come on.. I'm sure you can do this, Natsu!'' Happy winked.

Happy pushes Natsu to Lucy.

''Just do it!''

''Okay Okay I will do it then!''

''Good Luck Natsu!'' Happy grinned.

Natsu walks out of the bushes and saw Lucy coming out of the shop.

''Hey Lucy! I didn't know you were there. Where have you been?''

''I went to the shop to buy some groceries. I just happen to run out of food. That's all!'' She laughed.

''May I ask you something?''

''What is it, Natsu?''

''Can we go fishing?''

''Fishing with who? Happy?''

''No. Just the two of us alone.''

''Huh..? What's going on here? Is this some kind of joke? Wait.. hold on a minute.. Is he trying to... Nah, he's nothing going to do something like that. I bet he wants to talk about me about something.'' She laughed nervously.

''Hey, Lucy. Are you day-dreaming?''

''Uh... No! I'm just coming along with you! T-that's all!''

''What's gone into her all of a sudden? Is she crazy or what?''

Natsu taught in his mind.

When they have finally arrived, Natsu took out his rod and started fishing by the river.

''Aren't you going to get some fish? I don't see any fish in your groceries bag.''

''Oh wait! I need fish. That's it. I want to eat fish just for eating because I'm starving right now...''

''Then, why don't you get your own rod?''

''Okay but how am I supposed to catch the fish?''

''You don't even know how to catch fish using the rod, Lucy? Okay fine I will teach you.''

First, you hold the rod using either your right hand or your left hand.

''I will use my right hand. Since I'm right-handed.'' Lucy replied.

Secondly, roll the handle like this. Just turn the handle.

''Uh.. How am I supposed to do this? This is so so hard!''

Lucy starts to become lightheaded.

''Come on, Lucy. Concentrate what you're doing.''

''I am concentrating! It's just that there are so many things in my mind right now!''

''Then why don't you stop thinking about all those silly things in your mind and start concentrating. Okay fine, let me help you with that.''

Natsu goes behind Lucy's back and holds his hand together with her hand.

''You hold like this and turn the handle like this.''

''What is he... Waah.. I don't know what's going on right now!''

She began to go red on the face.

''Oh wait.. Better concentrate! That's really important right now.''

''Are you waiting to catch the fish or you're day-dreaming?''

''I am concentrating and doing my best to catch the fish.''

Lucy made a face of honesty. Natsu starts to realize that Lucy was actually being honest with him.

''Lucy's doing well with this. Better not give up on me, Lucy.''

He smiled to himself.

Few minutes later, Lucy noticed that something was catching the bait.

''Hey! I think something catching the bait, Natsu!''

''Reel it in, Lucy!''

Lucy tries to reel it in and never gives up. She pulls harder and harder, rolls the handle, and out comes the fish.

''I finally did it! I caught the fish for real!'

''Good job, Lucy! You did very well catching the fish today.''

Natsu pats Lucy on the shoulder.

''Thanks Natsu..''

Lucy smiles.

''You're welcome, Lucy.''

He goes closer and closer and starts hugging Lucy against his chest.

Lucy began to blush and something strange had gone into her mind all of a sudden.

'' (Is this some kind of a c-confession? Why is he... doing this?)''

Lucy went red in the face and started running away from the river.

''Hey Lucy! Wait...''

It was too late for Salamander to catch up with her. Unfortunately, he failed to confess Lucy saying that he loved her but instead he hugged her making Lucy run away from him.

''I failed to confess, Lucy...''

Natsu felt disappointed that he was not able to confess Lucy in the end. He went back with an uneasy feeling. He went back to the guild and saw Happy flying around the guild. Happy stops and flies to Natsu.

''What seems to be the problem, Natshu?''

''To be honest with you, I failed to confess Lucy... It's too bad that she's not facing me...''

''Don't worry! She will come into her senses sooner or later! I'm sure of it! Just stay calm and wait until she gets back. Say you want to fight with your own rival Gray, Natshu?''

''Nah.. I'm not in good condition to fight him right now. Sorry if I have to say that to you, Happy.''

''Oh... I understand how you feel..''

Happy smiles a bit.

''It's best for you to wait for her. I will support you. I know you can do it, Natshu!''

Happy winked with pride.

When Happy winks with pride once more, Natsu made his usual big smile and finally came to his senses. He told Happy that he would never give up until he had finally reached his goal. Happy was glad that Natsu came to his senses.

Happy took out a fish from his green bag which was right at the very back and started eating it.

Natsu stayed calm and waited patiently for Lucy to come back.

While Lucy was walking back feeling all red on the face, she slowly went back into her apartment and took a bath. She settled the bath tub until it was warm and ready to go in it. Lucy slowly went in and started to think about Natsu.

''Natsu... He's been my friend ever since I started to join Fairy Tail. Even those missions, I could have swore that he was protecting me all this time like the previous mission with the octopus and all that. That was one stupid octopus, alright...''

Lucy started to come up with all kinds of crazy thoughts in her mind.

''Waahhhhh! I don't know what's going on right now! What if he would simply push against his chest and hug me again? Does he love me or what? If he does... He should at least be brave enough to tell me...''

She began to blush. She does not know what to do with the lovey-dovey kind of thing. This happened since the 50th Episode of Fairy Tail and this lovey-dovey thing happens to be true for your information.

''That idiot hasn't changed at all.. I wonder why he didn't tell all about this since the very beginning. He should at least tell me. I don't know what to do now!''

Lucy went out of the bathroom and changed to her night clothes.

''It's best for me to sleep now.. It'll wear off my blush. Okay better calm down. I bet it's not going to happen.''

Lucy lied on her bed and realized there was some mysterious object inside her bed. When she took the blanket out of the bed, the mysterious object inside the blanket was in point of fact, Natsu.

''Waahh! What's he doing on my bed? He better get of my bed this instant! Oi, Natsu! I want you to get off my bed right now.''

''Aww.. But it's warm and cosy inside..''

''Fine but I can only let you in my bed once, okay? Now good night!''

She switches off the switch in her bedroom and goes straight to her bed. She started to rest peacefully and felt like nothing was disturbing her. Well there was something disturbing her, Natsu goes closer and closer and started hugging her. Lucy opened her eyes but it was dark, she could not see in the dark.

''Oh it's just my imagination..''

She went back to sleep until the next morning. She went out of her bed and yawned.

''I can't believe it's actually morning today...''

She opened her eyes and sensed a touch which she could not get out of bed.

''Okay I don't what's happening right now.. Don't tell it's Natsu doing this.. That guy always gets in the way!''
