Ok everyone I'm back with another chapter! Thank you to everyone who reviewed, followed, favorited, etc. I will be completely honest and say that I just had to go re-read the last 3 paragraphs from my first chapter because I banged them out at like 2 am last night and I was kinda drunk. *shrug* sue me, I'm well over the legal age to indulge. Anyway; like I said before, I'm running behind and I hope to catch up here soon but it is Independence Day here in the USA and I will be blowing shit up. Natsu would be so proud! To my fellow Americans stay safe and have a wonderful 4th of July! Now on with the story!

The Guild hall was just as busy and rowdy as usual when Lucy made her first appearance for the day. She smiled at one of the wonderful constants that she could always rely on; Fairy Tail would forever be Fairy Tail, meaning loud members who loved to fight and get drunk. The blonde glanced around for her pink-haired partner but after not catching a glance of salmon locks or fire anywhere she ascertained that The Salamander was not currently in the building. Lucy then proceeded to make her way over to the bar; their resident demon of a barmaid would likely know where her dragon partner was.

As Lucy took her seat Mira came up to her with a smile; she was wiping a glass with a rag and seemed just as cheerful as usual. "Hey Lucy! What can I get for you today?" Lucy grinned back at the pretty girl "I'll have a strawberry daquiri and lemon basil chicken with quinoa please." Mira pouted, "I'm sorry Lucy but we're out of quinoa right now. Droy decided to go on a diet and he's been replacing all his noodles and rice with it." Lucy hummed for a moment in thought then gave Mira a reassuring grin, "That's ok Mira I'll just have it over arugula instead." Mira nodded, "Ok coming right up!" The white haired Over Soul Mage left momentarily to relay the order to the kitchen then proceeded to make Lucy's daquiri. "Hey Mira?" the barmaid glanced up from her work, "Do you have any idea where Natsu might be?" Mira placed her index finger against her lips and looked to the ceiling. "Hmm…I think he mentioned something about fishing with Happy."

Lucy sighed, of course, Natsu would completely forget that they had planned on meeting at the Guild today if Happy begged him to go fishing. Mira could see the disappointment on Lucy's face and frowned. "If everything ok?" Lucy grinned weakly up at Mira's concerned features. "Yeah Mira, it's fine. Natsu and I had just planned to meet up here is all; but I'm not overly surprised he forgot." Mira's shoulders fell a little and she looked a little crestfallen, "I'm sorry Lucy, if I had known I would have reminded him for you." Lucy waved her hand at the sweet she-demon, "Don't worry about it Mira. It's not your fault." The white-haired girl regained her smile. "Well how about I make your drink on the house to help brighten your day." Lucy perked up herself and grinned, "That would be great!"

Lucy was half way into her meal and was sipping on her lovely free daquiri when Cana claimed the stool next to the Celestial Mage. The brunette turned towards the blonde, placing her elbow on the bar and resting her face on her fist as she smirked at Lucy. Lucy swallowed her drink then gave the resident drunk and fortune teller a hesitant smile. "Hey Cana, what's up?" Cana's smirk took on a devilish glint and Lucy blanched a little. Whenever Cana looked like that it usually never meant anything good. "Lucy, Lucy, Lucy," Cana practically purred and Lucy sweat-dropped, "You are a very lucky girl." The Celestial Spirit user looked at Cana like the card wielder had finally lost her mind. "Um… not sure what you mean by that. I'm always struggling to pay my rent, I get my butt kicked in fights all the time, and my partner up and forgot about me today." Cana just grinned more, "Are you sure about that last one?"

Lucy narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms over her ample chest. "Uh yeah! We were supposed to meet here this morning and he ditched me to go fishing!" This was finished by throwing her arms in the air in exacerbation. Cana removed her face from her fist and leaned into Lucy's face until the poor blonde could smell the alcohol wafting from the older girl's pores. "Well my cards never lie, and they told me that you would receive a wonderful surprise today from the man closest to your heart; and we all know who that man is." Lucy blushed prettily. It was no real secret that she had a crush on Natsu; the slayer himself was the only one who seemed oblivious to it. Lucy sighed and looked down to her lap. "I don't know Cana, he either has no idea I like him or he just isn't interested." Cana reached forward and rubbed the younger woman on the back. "It's the former, I'm certain. If Natsu had any clue that you were into him, he'd be glued to your side indefinitely."

Lucy looked up at her friend and smiled. "Are you sure about that?" Cana scoffed, "Of course I am! Look at your rack! Any guy would go stupid if you liked them!" Lucy blushed again and started laughing. "If you say so Cana! Did your cards say anything about what his surprise is or when it's supposed to happen today?" "Nope." Cana spout back, popping the P. Lucy sighed, "Of course not. Well thanks for the heads up anyway, I appreciate it." Cana nodded and smacked Lucy on the back. "Don't mention it!" she then climbed down from her stool and wandered back over to her barrel of booze. Lucy just shook her head good naturedly at her friend's antics and returned to her food.

Lucy proceeded to spend the rest of her day at the guild hall. She caught up on books with Levy, they had both recently read the same romance novel and gushed over how wonderful the hero in the story seemed. She helped comfort Juvia after Gray's latest refusal of the Rain Woman's advances; and she also just people watched, gathering inspiration for her novel. By the time, Lucy was on her way home she was in a great mood, completely over being dumped by Natsu for fishing. She was humming softly to herself when she unlocked and entered her apartment, and stopped dead in her tracks. Lucy's house keys fell to floor while she started at the image in front of her completely dumbfounded. The kitchen table was set for a romantic dinner for two, complete with candles and there was a bouquet of red roses in a crystal vase as the center piece. Lucy now realized that Marvin Gay was playing softly in the background and a wonderful aroma was wafting from the kitchen. However; what caught her attention the most was the delicious site of Natsu in a suit that was tailored to fit his amazing body like a dream.

Said man smirked and walked forward to take her hand and draw her closer. "Hey Luce." Lucy could only gape up at him, "What?...what is going on?" Natsu grinned and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "We're having dinner you weirdo. What else does it look like?" Lucy looked back to the table and nodded, still trying to figure out what was happening. "I can see that, but why are there candles and flowers? And why are you all dressed up?" She turned her questioning gaze to him and Natsu blushed while rubbing the back of his neck. "Can't I just do something nice for you?" Lucy peered at Natsu as if he was something growing in a petri dish. "Who are you and what have you done with my best friend?" Natsu blanched, "Luce! Come on! I can do nice things when I want to!" Lucy nodded at him. "Yes, I'm not denying that but last time you had to wear a suite you complained endlessly and I was certain that Hell would freeze over before you even put another one on again."

Natsu blushed again and looked pretty sheepish, "Yeah well I remember you saying that I looked handsome and I wanted tonight to be special." Lucy felt her heart flutter in hope but she wasn't ready to just jump and believe that he was truly acknowledging her. "Why do you want tonight to be special Natsu?" The pinkette looked down and locked his green eyes with her warm brown. "Because you're special Luce. You're the most important person in my life, you're my best friend, and I'm in love with you." Lucy gasped and clapped her hand to her mouth in shock. Her eyes started to water as the emotions over ran her. Natsu panicked and proceeded to rub her arms and fuss over her. "Hey! Why are you crying! If I upset you, please don't worry about it! It's ok if you don't feel the same." Lucy could only smile and shake her head at his antics. "You baka! I fucking love you too!" Natsu stilled and just stared at her for a hot second and then a shit-eating grin spread across his face. "Really?" Lucy giggled and nodded enthusiastically. Natsu laughed then grabbed her and spun them around the living room.

Once he stopped he took Lucy's face in-between his hands and kissed her senseless. Lucy responded enthusiastically, delving her hands into his hair. Natsu broke away and rubbed his nose against hers. "I love you Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy smiled, "I love you too Natsu Dragneel" and then in true Natsu fashion he gave a wicked smirk and proceeded to whisper into his love's ear. "Now let's Marvin Gay and get it on." He leaned back to waggle his eyebrows and Lucy laughed while she hugged him tightly. He may be the biggest idiot ever, but he was her idiot, and she wouldn't have him any other way. As they headed for the table to start their meal Lucy made a mental note to tell Cana she had been right.

So, there it is. Much shorter than the last but I was really aiming for something sweet and a little funny, and if I had kept going they would have really "Marvin Gayed" it on lol. Because I'm obviously a total pervert and smut fanatic ^.~ Love it, leave it, do what you want. Later peeps! Stay awesome!
