The sun bathed it's light on the blonde haired lass who's face was burried deep on her silk sheets, her eyes red and her cheeks damp from all the crying she did the whole night.
It was the first time since her mother died she cried like this, she couldn't stop the new tears from flooding her cheeks.
Why is life so unfair?, she wondered and a familiar scene played in her mind that was the sole reason for her despair.
" Dad, I never-" Lucy couldn't finish as Jude raised his hand for her to stop.
" Inside this letter it says: I love you, you captured my heart at first sight and this pink-haired boy drove you back home...how long have this been going on?" her father demanded as she began to stammer," I s-swear...nothing is g-going on!".
" You so easily made yourself vulnerable to him...clutching him tightly...because of you, my honour is in danger...how could you do this Lucy? I am soo ashamed of you!" her father shouted much to Lucy's disbelief.
" My decisions final, you will be marrying Lieutenant Gray Fullbuster 3 weeks from now...start preparing yourself." Jude replied getting up.
" B-but, Dad! What about my university?"Lucy asked loudly.
" There is no need for you to continue as you engage in such shameful and reckless things." Jude replied sternly and Lucy began to argue back,"If mom was here then-".
"-Then nothing would have happened! I control everything Lucy, Layla is dead! You will do as I say, don't dare disobey!" Jude shouted and Lucy's eyes filled with tears as she began," B-but...".
" Don't argue back! Now begone from my sight!" Jude's voice echoed and all the maids and servants looked worried.
Lucy couldn't stop her tears from streaming down, with trembling legs she ran to her room and closed her door shut.
" W-what...did I do...wrong?" she whispered burying her face in her pillow to stop her tears from streaming.
She heard the door open and guessed it was Virgo who looked at her with a worried expression.
" Princess..." Virgo whispered softly and Lucy sat on her bed with her hands covering her face.
" Princess..." Virgo began but Lucy started saying," I d-don't want to m-marry...*sniff*...I want to a-accomplish my dream o-of becoming an a-artist...I-I...don't know what to do anymore!".
Virgo put a gentle hand around her shoulder and said," Princess...I may not be of any help to you so I apolozige...you can give me punishment later but...you can cry on my shoulder.".
It didn't take Lucy long, she wrapped her arms around Virgo's shoulder and cried for as long as she could.
Virgo suggested that she might feel better if she went to university and Lucy agreed.
She didn't meet her father in the morning and Scorpio drove her to her university.
Erza , Levy , Bisca , Evergreen , Lisanna and Cana knew that something was wrong seeing that Lucy's eyes were red and her cheeks puffy not to mention the fact that her hair was incredibly messy.
Lucy explained everything as tears stremed down her cheeks, she couldn't stop crying.
" I never knew Jude-san would be this terrible."Levy said and Erza added," It was that pink-haired bastard's fault to begin with." with clenched fists as Cana and Lisanna replied," Calm down, Erza".
" So what should we do?" Bisca asked and Evergreen put her finger on her chin thinking just when a voice yelled," Hey, Blondie!".
Natsu was going to his university with his motorcycle when he spotted Lucy surrounded by some girls, so he decided to greet her.
Immediately he called her, he was covered by girls with intense glares.
" W-what...did I...d-do?" Natsu asked sweatdropping as he watched Erza glaring daggers at him.
The whole Strawberry Street knew who she was, and knew that she was not to be messed with.
Even the dumb Natsu had heard of her, Erza Scarlet the Titania.
Before Erza could begin talking, Natsu noticed Lucy sitting in the pavement with her head dropping in her arms.
Ignoring all the daggers and the girls, he made his way infront of Lucy and asked," Hey...are you okay?".
" It's all your fault!" Lucy yelled facing him and only then did Natsu notice that Lucy was crying.
Natsu staggered back with a baffled look as Lucy continued," I forgot that you put that letter inside my diary, I remember now! Because you drove me home and the letter, my father's arranging my marriage with Gray Fullbuster! He's stopping me from making my dream come true and your responsible for this! Why did I ever meet you?" she shouted frustated.
" M-my dream is shattered...your responsible for this!" Lucy shouted pointing an accusing finger at Natsu.
" W-wait!" he shouted, his hands acting like a shield in between him and all girl's that was glaring at him.
" L-look! About the letter, it was a mistake!" Natsu shouted and all the girls including Lucy looked at him puzzled.
" Look, my friend Elfman gave the letter to me saying that I should give it to the girl ' seating next to the scarlet-haired girl ' but he didn't say which side so, I thought it might be Blondie so I put it in her diary but in reality, Elfman meant to give it to you!" he shouted pointing at Evergreen who got startled.
" I don't believe you." Erza said in a threatening voice.
" I'm innocent, I did what Elfman said! I had no choice!" Natsu shouted desperately as Lucy's eyes widened.
" But it doesn't change anything! My father would think of it as a made-up story, and whatever he decides everyone has to follow it! He will never ever change his decision!" Lucy cried out and Natsu felt somewhat guilty of what he had done.
Out of the blue, an idea popped up in his mind, an idea that would save Lucy and her dream.
" Gray Fullbuster...isn't he the Lieutenant?" Natsu asked and Levy nodded.
" Where is the Rune Council of Magnolia?" Natsu asked and Bisca replied," Downtown of Strawberry Street.".
" Oh okay! Alright, as I am responsible for this, I'll get you out of this trouble." Natsu said turning and Lucy asked," How?".
" You'll see". Natsu replied walking out of the gate leaving all the girls and Lucy alone.
" You know what Lucy? I think he might be able to save you." Lisanna replied and Lucy nodded saying," Yes, I hope so.".
Natsu gulped as he parked his motorcycle infront of the Rune Council, he was dead nervous.
With shaking legs, he walked up the stair's to the management floor (a.k.a Ground Floor).
He was practically shaking from head to toe, he felt his stomach do a couple of back-flips and cartwheel...this did not look good.
He made his way infront of the counter and a lady asked him," What may I do for you?".
" Um...is...Lieutenant Gray Fullbuster here?" Natsu asked with a shaky voice.
" Ah yes, room 208" the lady replied and with a stoic expression, Natsu made his way towards the room.
The door was open so Natsu went in and sat in one of the chairs infront of the desk, his body was practically vibrating.
Gray Fullbuster was not present inside the room which Natsu was thankful for.
The room was rich and elegant, the walls were framed with pictures of the Rune Council and was painted a shade of blue. The desk was incredibly neat and a certain list of people was in the middle.
Natsu carefully took it hoping no one saw him and noticed the names crossed, only one name was circled.
Natsu tried to understand the meaning behind this but was interrupted by a sudden," BAM!" out of nowhere.
With a heart ready to burst open out of nervousness he looked around but instead of seeing anyone, he heard someone moaning while saying," Please no more! Uwaahh!" and another " BAM!", followed by a voice yelling, "You've got no reason to live! Hahaha!".
Natsu's heart was practically jumping out of his chest, he gulped as a man entered the room.
Natsu stood up quickly and saw that the man who entered the room had had navy blue hair with black eyes. He was as tall as Natsu and was wearing a white coat with blue trimmings and had an air of pride atmosphere around him.
"Who are you?" he asked taking him seat.
"Um...Na-Natsu...Dragneel." Natsu stammered, his hands were all sweaty.
" Ah alright, sit down. So what is the reason you cam here?" Gray asked as Natsu sat down.
" W-well...um...I...ah..." Natsu stammered endlessly while Lieutenant Gray's patience was ticking off.
" Fast fast! I wouldn't even be able to give this much time in my marriage." Gray said in a matter-of-fact tone and Natsu sweatdropped screaming inwardly for his stupidity and for that Lieutenant's lack of patience.
" Y-you...are marrying Lucy H-heartfilia right?" Natsu managed to ask and Gray nodded saying," Ah yes, daughter of Jude Heartfilia.".
" Y-you...can't marry her!" Natsu said automatically and before he knew it, a gun was pointed right in the middle of his forehead as Gray yelled," Why shouldn't I? Who are you to say that?".
" Sir,sir,sir! N-no! I'm barely in my early twenties! Noo!" Natsu whined and Gray sighed and to Natsu's greatest relief, he put the gun in the desk.
"Spill." he said and like a robot Natsu replied," I love Lucy Heartfilia.".
" Why you!" Gray shouted forcing the gun in his heart as Natsu prayed for God's help.
" Wasn't there any other girl in Magnolia other than her? I am going to marry her whether you like it or not!" Gray shouted and Natsu shouted," Oh no sir! Don't pull the trigger, I don't wanna die!".
After what seemed like hours later, Gray gritted his teeths and put the gun back to his pocket while he asked the traumatized-Natsu,"Whats your name again?".
It took Natsu a couple of seconds to digest his question and he replied," Na-natsu Dragneel.".
" Hmm...what do you do?" Gray asked.
" Pi-pizza delivery." Natsu replied gulping and Gray looked at him with pure disgust as he said," Pizza delivery? My soon-to-be wife's boyfriend is a pizza delivery boy? What are you going to feed her if you get together? Pizza?" while motioning a large circle stating it to be a pizza.
" I'm marrying her even if you like it or not!" Gray responded sternly and Natsu decided to use his Plan B.
" I'll commit suicide!" he shouted and Gray looked at him with a your-not-serious look.
" We love each other to death! If destiny turn's out to be like Romeo and Juliet, we'll do the same as them. The day you will be marrying her, I'll bring poison and drink it infront of her! I'll blame you for this, you!" Natsu said pointing an accusing finger at Gray while standing up.
" Then, after seeing my death she will unsheath a dagger from the wedding cake table and die with me! The whole of Magnolia would blame you, and you'll go to prison for that!" Natsu shouted while walking out of the room keeping his voice loud for Gray to here.
" Then we'd come back as ghosts and drive you insane until you commit suicide! I'm serious Lieutenant!" he shouted standing outside of the building when a sudden grin escaped his lips.
He turned his bike on with the grin knowing that his plan worked but little did he know that his epic Plan B would turn not only his, but also Lucy's future upside down...cruel destiny.
-(Preview: Terrible Misunderstanding)-
"How could you say that I, Lucy Heartfilia has something going on with you-" Lucy pointed an accusing finger at Natsu.
"-a ordinary, idiotic, stalker not to mention a pizza delivery boy, Natsu Dragneel?" Lucy cried but Gray quickly came and sat on his seat making the pointless arguement between the 2 ' lovebirds ' die out.
" I've taken a REAL liking to you both...tell me about how you 2 first met?"Gray asked and both Natsu and Lucy thought inwardly,
