A/N: This was written for another writing prompt from tumblr. The prompt is "NaLu, Amusement park, elation, map." I really tried to keep this short but alas, Natsu and Lucy on an amusement park makes your imagination run wild. Enjoy reading!

"Thank God for Wendy and Troia. Really, God bless that kid." Natsu thought to himself as he came down from Magnolia Land's Teacup ride. He extended his hand to Lucy to help her get down the stairs.

"Thanks Natsu." Lucy smiled at him brightly. Her face was still flushed from laughing so hard from their previous ride.

Natsu grinned at her, satisfied to see her enjoying herself. "Awesome right?"

Lucy nodded happily then read the map they got upon entry in the amusement park. "Let's try this next!" She showed him the Roller coaster, excitement making her eyes sparkle.

"Again, thank you Wendy." Natsu thought.

This trip is really worth it if she's smiling at him like that. He was originally opposed to the idea of going to Magnolia Land. Part of the reward from their last mission was the two complimentary tickets to Magnolia's newest amusement park. Lucy did not want to waste those tickets since they were really expensive so she insisted that they go. She also suggested to have Wendy cast Troia on him so they can enjoy the rides as much as they want.

"I thought we're gonna have the roller coaster last?" He asked Lucy.

"This guide said to take the thrill rides first and then the slow ones." Lucy replied. "We're taking the Ferris Wheel last."

"Aye sir!" Natsu changed his pitch, trying to imitate Happy's voice.

Lucy laughed again at his poor imitation. "By the way, why isn't Happy with us today?" Lucy inquired.

"He said he's tired of third-wheeling for us so he's staying with Wendy and Carla today." Natsu answered, not really understanding what Happy said.

"Th-Third-wheeling?" Lucy stuttered, a light blush creeping on her cheeks.

Natsu nodded. "What's that supposed to mean anyway?"

Lucy shrugged nervously. "I don't know! Hahaha!" Her pink cheeks got redder. She hid her flaming face behind the map and pretended to read it again.

"You're acting weird again, Lucy." Natsu remarked, coming closer to Lucy. "And your face is still red."

Lucy's face just got redder at Natsu's words. "Let's just go to the roller coaster!" Lucy exclaimed, as Natsu steps closer. She grabbed his hand and started to run to the roller coaster.

"Man, I wish Troia's effect would last longer." He had his arms crossed behind his head, stretching his back while seated. They were sitting on a bench near the Roller Coaster's queue.

"You realize you're missing a lot with that motion-sickness, huh?" Lucy looked up from the map. They were resting right after the roller coaster ride. They were both screaming their lungs out during the ride and she couldn't believe how much of a screamer Natsu was. Her eyes were spinning and she felt disoriented after the ride but the dragon slayer was just whooping and laughing, clearly showing he enjoyed the ride.

Natsu nodded at her. "You people have it good. Normally I'd get sick just by looking at a moving ride." He pouted, his face cradled on his hand. "If only Troia can last forever I won't have to deal with my motion-sickness. It sucks."

"That's why we have to make the best out of this trip." Lucy folded her map and slipped it inside her bag. "Let's have one last ride before the day ends." The night was coming. She could see the beautiful streaks of pinks and oranges on the twilight sky. She grabbed Natsu's hand and pulled him along as she stood up.

They walked together to the Ferris Wheel. Natsu noticed that Lucy never let go of his hand as they strolled in Magnolia Land, not that he was complaining. Her hand felt good, making him wish that she'd never stop holding his hand.

A vendor came up to them, carrying Magnolia Land's signature hats. "Would like some Magnolia Hats, sir?" The man asked Natsu. "I give discounts to young couples!"

"Couple?" Lucy was embarrassed. "Do we look like a couple?" she asked herself. Then she noticed that she was still holding Natsu's hand even if they had stopped walking.

Natsu had to stifle whine when Lucy let go of his hand. He felt himself blush as she saw Lucy's reaction to the vendor. Her cheeks were pink again.

"We're not a couple!" Lucy denied strongly, shaking her head at the man.

"Really?" asked the man. "That's a shame! You look good together!" The man laughed heartily. He pulled out two hats from his stocks and put it on Lucy and another on Natsu. "I'll still give you youngsters a discount!"

"Really old man? We'll get them!" He laughed heartily at the vendor. He handed their payment and the man pulled Natsu's hand to whisper, "Son, if I were you I won't let that pretty friend of yours out of my sight. She might get snatched away if you don't act fast." The old man ended his advice with a knowing wink. He left Natsu and Lucy laughing out loud, very amused with Natsu's flustered face.

To say that Natsu was blushing was an understatement. He was redder than a ripe tomato. He tugged his newly-bought hat, pulling it until it reached his eyes. Stupid old man.

Lucy's cheeks were a perfect match with Natsu's. She heard what the man told Natsu. "Do we really look like a couple on a date right now?" she asked herself. She glanced at her partner and sighed. They may not look like a couple before but right now, with their matching hats and blushes, they really look like a couple on a date. Her thoughts were interrupted when the line ahead started to move.

"Next please!" She heard the Ferris wheel staff call out. The line started to move again. They were almost near the end of the queue.

"Let's go Lucy!" Natsu tugged her hand. "It's gonna be great for sure!"

He grinned at her which gave a calming effect on her nerves. There's no point in worrying if they looked like a couple to others right now. What's important is that her best friend is enjoying himself riding a moving vehicle probably for the first time in his life.

"I know, I know." She said with a laugh. "You don't need to rush so much. We're almost there."

It was already dark when their turn came. Sparkling lights illuminated the whole park, giving it romantic feel. The sparkling lights and dancing shadows fell on Natsu. It made his face softer and warm. Not that she was secretly staring at him. No.

"Welcome to the Ferris Wheel!" The staff greeted and opened the door of the car. "This way please."

Natsu was practically jumping in excitement, grinning at her from ear to ear. He got in first and assisted Lucy as she followed him inside.

"Enjoy the ride!" The staff said as he locked their door.

"Lucy, it swings! Look!" Their car moved and wobbled as he moved around the car.

"Natsu, sit down!" Lucy complained. "We're gonna get dizzy!"

"Nah, Troia's still working on me." He smiled wickedly as he moved the car again.

Lucy groaned. He was getting playful again, like what happened in the Teacup ride. "Natsu, please stop. Let's not end this trip with trouble, okay?"

Natsu sighed. "Okay." The car finally stopped moving after a few moments.

Lucy smiled. "Thanks."

They both got quiet then. He could hear the humming of the Ferris wheel's motor from below. He could hear her breathing, in and out, slowly. Then a loud boom echoed from outside.

"Oh." He heard her say softly. She was looking outside the window behind him. He turned his head and followed where she was looking and saw lights bloom in the sky. Fireworks.

"Whoa." He said.
Lucy nodded. "It's beautiful." She said softly, as if talking loudly would lessen the beauty of it.

"You're more beautiful, Lucy." He thought. He watched the sky light up again. "I wish I could tell that to you." He smiled to himself. He can fight bad guys any day but he can't even tell his best friend she's beautiful. Go figure. "My flames are cooler though." He tells her.

Lucy chuckled at his words. "I guess you're right."

"Of course I'm right." They looked outside again and witnessed as multi-colored fireworks illuminated the night sky.

Lucy stood up from her seat and transferred beside him to take a better look at the fireworks. Their car tilted at the sudden imbalance. He was quick to hold her close. "Look who's swinging the car now."

"Sorry." She whispered, blushing at their sudden closeness. His face was so close, she could feel his breath on her skin. She could see his dark lashes and the slight creases around his eyes when he smiled at her.

He tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. She was so close to him. She was all he could smell inside their cramped space. Her scent filled every corner of their car. "Lucy." He whispered.

The sound of the next set of fireworks was drowned by the loud pounding of her heart. Natsu was slowly crossing the space between them. She curled her hands on his shirt, clinging onto them. Then she felt his lips on hers, light as a feather. It made her light-headed, her brain currently focusing solely on her lips. She closed her eyes as she felt Natsu's lips push against hers.

She stayed trapped in his embrace, happiness filling every inch of her. How long has she been daydreaming of Natsu kissing her like this? Of feeling his lips on hers, his hand caressing her cheeks?

Natsu slowly pulled away, breathless from the intense feelings rushing through him. He never planned to kiss Lucy during this trip but he was glad he did it. Her lips were sweet as berries and filled him with warmth akin to eating fire. He looked at Lucy, her lips curling into a smile for him.

"What just happened?" Lucy asked softly. She brought her hand to his face and slowly traced the outline of his lips with her fingers. She gasped when he kissed her fingertips.

"I kissed you, dummy." He answered.

"I know." She sighed contentedly. "Why?"

"Because," he replied as he kissed her forehead, "you're beautiful." Another kiss on her nose.
"Because I like you."

Lucy shivered under his kisses. She was getting breathless each time his lips touches her skin. She looked up to him and their eyes met. His eyes were as intense and expressive as always. He looked at her like he could see through her soul.

"I like you too, Natsu." She whispered.

His lips found hers again and everything around them vanished. Nothing else mattered in that moment except the feeling of their lips against each other. Elation filled Natsu for every kiss that Lucy returned. Why did he just kiss her now? How did he survive without these sweet lips?

They felt their ride stop and heard the door open. He heard a startled gasp from one of the attendants but he paid no care. All he wanted now was to continue kissing Lucy, to wrap his body around her and never let go. It seemed that Lucy was thinking of the same thing as she did not pull away from him.

He had to stifle a laugh when he heard the door closing again and their car started to move again. He may have heard the attendants say "Enjoy the ride!".

"Again, thank God for Troia and Wendy." He thought.

A/N: Was it too fluffy in the end? I couldn't help it. LOL. Again, if you have any writing prompts or requests you want me to write, feel free to PM me. So far most of the requests I got were for NaLu but I'm open to other pairings, but no Yaoi or Yuri pairs though. Thanks for reading!
