Chapter 3: The Question…

xXx

At the Dragneels…


Natsu was in his doing his homework. He was still trying to remember what he wanted to ask Lucy but just couldn't remember for the life of him.

He continued with his work until he heard the front door open then close.

He heard a voice from down stairs. His Dad was home from work.

"Zeref, Natsu, you guys home?" he said.

"yes." Said Zeref as he walked up to him.

"Good I have some new for the two of you. Can you get Natsu?" he said.

Natsu was already on the stairs when he heard his dad say that. "No need I'm already here. What is it?" said Natsu.

"Oh Natsu…but how did you know?" said Igneel.

"I had a hunch." Said Natsu.

"Well since you are both are here I can tell you. You two are aware that we have ne next door neighbours right?" asked Igneel.

They both nodded.

"Good well I just ran into them and they invited us for dinner so we can get to know each other better. Are you two ok with that?" he asked.

"Sure when is it?" asked Zeref.

"This Friday at 6pm." Said Igneel.

"Ok" said Natsu.

He then went back to his room. When he got back he continued with his work, but was too distracted about what Ingeel just said. And spent the rest of the evening in his room.

It was the next morning. And Natsu was still asleep since he stayed up late last night.

His phone alarm was ringing like crazy. He slowly sit's up and reaches for his phone. He looks at the time and realized that if he did not get up then he would be late. He got up and started to get ready. About 20 minutes later he goes down stairs.

When he gets to the bottom of the stairs he sees that Zeref is already and waiting for Natsu.

"Took you long enough." Said Zeref.

"Sorry" Natsu said in a sarcastic tone.

"Well hurry up then up else we're going to be late." Said Zeref.

Natsu walked over and put his shoes on. After that Zeref opened the door and they left. As soon as they got outside they noticed that Lucy was leaving to. She was Standing in the door way and was talking to someone. Zeref then noticed that Natsu was looking.

"I'll go on ahead." He said, and then left.

Lucy then closed the door and started to make her way to the sidewalk. She then notices Natsu.

"Hey Natsu! Funny running into you." Said Lucy.

"Sure is." He said.

"You going to school?" she asked.

"Yup you wanna walk with me?" he asked.

"Actually I was going to ask the same thing since I still can't remember the way." She said.

"Don't worry you'll remember soon." He said.

And with that they continued their way to school.


They arrive at school just before the bell. "We made it!" said Lucy.

"Ya, I think I have to start leaving earlier so I won't have to run to my class." Said Natsu.

"Same goes for me…then again I'm still new so I have an excuse, you don't." she said.

"Cruel" said Natsu.

"Well I'm going to find my class." Said Lucy as she left Natsu alone in the hallway.

Just then someone creeps up behind Natsu. "Hey!" said the person and they slapped his back. Natsu who was a bit startled turned to see who it was. It was Gray. "Natsu! What the hell I haven't seen you for 2 days." Said Gray.

"Sorry about that…I've been distracted with school lately." He said.

"That's not what I saw!" said Loke as he walked up to the two of them.

"What do you mean?" asked Gray. "Looks like salamander found a new friend." Said Gajeel as he stood behind Natsu. "What that's not true!" said Natsu. "Come on Natsu you can tell us!" said Sting who was standing next to him. "Don't be shy." Said Rouge who was next to Gajeel.

This was not good they got him cornered.

"Look guys I'm fine don't worry about anything!" said Natsu

"so who was that girl you were talking to?" asked Gary.

"No one." Said Natsu.

Just then Lucy walks by as she was looking for her class. The guys all stop and look at her.

"She's the one" said Gray.

"Loke." Said Sting.

"I'm on it." Said Loke.

Loke then walks up to Lucy.

"Excuse me my lovely lady but would you be so kind as to answer a question for me?" asked Loke.

Lucy was shocked at what was happening. "Um s-sure." She said.

"Good, per chance do you know a boy by the name of Natsu Dragneel?" he asked.

"Um yes I do…why?" she asked.

"Oh well you see I'm a good friend of Natsu's and was just wondering who you were since I've see you two together for these past 2 days." Said Loke.

"Would you be so kind to tell me you name?" he said.

They guys were watching the whole since play out…even Natsu. "Oh my names Lucy." She said.

"Lucy! what a lovely name you have!" said Loke.

"Uh thank you?" said Lucy.

"So how do you know Natsu?" he asked.

"Well I'm still quite new here and he offered me some assistance and we're also neighbours. I only moved here 1 week ago so I still need help finding classes and everything. Oh by the way do you know were room 190 is?" she asked

"down the hall and to the right it's the door next to the water fountain." Said Loke. "Thank you!" said Lucy as she left. Loke then returned back to the guys. "So what did she say?" asked Gajeel.

"Says that she's new here and that Natsu helped her out." Said Loke.

"Well that's does make seance since I've never seen her here before." Said Gray.

"What's her name?" asked Sting.

"Lucy." Said Loke.

"That's all she told you?" asked Gray.

"She really didn't say much. Maybe she didn't believe me when I told her that I was friends with Natsu?" said Loke.

"maybe." Said Gajeel.

"We'll continue this at lunch." Said Gray. And with that said the bell rang and it was time for them to get to class.


It was now lunch time and the halls were packed with students. Natsu and the guys walked into the cafeteria and sat at their usual table. "So shall we continue our discussion from this morning?" asked Gray.

Natsu shoot him a look. "Come on Natsu you know we were just kidding right?" said Loke. "Sure" he said. "So you guys still up for Friday?" asked Gray. "This Friday?" asked Natsu. "Ya did you forget this Friday at 7pm?" asked Sting.

"No" said Natsu.

But he did. He forgot that they were going to see that new horror movie. But he is stuck going to Lucy's for dinner. What should he do?

"Natsu? You ok?" asked Gray.

"Ya I'm fine it's just I have to go somewhere this Friday, but I might be able to cancel." He said.

"We'll see when Friday comes" said Gray.

Natsu is then distracted by a hit of blonde. He sees Lucy sitting at a table not too far from them. She was sitting alone and it looked like she was reading a book. Who will he choose?
