"Erza!" Lucy said as she tugged on the redhead's arm, "Wake up! We gotta go now! Erza's face twisted into a look oignoring displeasure and disgust, before slamming her eyes shut again.

"Five... more... minutes..." She groaned, before passing out. As she attempted to wake her up again, she glanced over at the door. Natsu and Gray had previously walked out of to wait outside. Finally, Lucy had to do it. She trudged into the kitchen, filled a glass with ice, and then poured some cold water into it.

After the ice melted, she slowly poured it over Erza's cheek. Then her forehead. Then her

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Erza screamed as she felt the cold liquid on her skin. "Lucy." She said sternly, giving a death stare.

"Ah, y-yes?" Lucy knew that this was the end of h. She expected punishment, but instead got a small smile.

"Thanks."

"Uh, sure..."

After they got ready, they headed outside, just to be greeted with two impatient stares. Lucy and Natsu immedediately locked eyes, but Natsu quickly turned pink and averted Lucy's gaze. Lucy wondered what was wrong with him. Erza seemed to note the tension between the two.

"This journey must be travelled by foot. It will take awhile to arrive, but we should make it in time." Erza began.

"Um, Erza?" Lucy questioned.

"Yes?" Erza asked, an eyebrow raised.

"w-what if we don't make it on time?"

"Well, there can be no physical punishment. It would most likely result in a reduction of our reward."

Lucy remained silent.

"Uh, Erza?" Natsu asked. "Are we gonna leave now or what?"

"Of course, PINK HAIRED FREAK." Gray taunted.

"Oh yeah? Well no one asked ya, Ice Princess!"

"You wanna go, Flame brain?"

"You...! You Snowfla-"

"WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Erza asked, a maniacally creepy stare on her face.

"Just talkin to my best friend, Natsu!" Gray said, a big fake grin spread on his face.

Natsu flashed Erza his trademark grin, but it looked... off. She glared at them a moment longer, and when she felt like she was done, she turned away. Natsu annd Gray glared at each other menacingly, before deciding that it was not a good time.

Natsu glanced at Lucy. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of doe brown, and Natsu felt like he couldn't look away. She was in conversation with Erza, talking about a book that she read. But Lucy could feel Natsu watching her. She averted her gaze from Erza, and stared deeply into Natsu's onyx eyes. They stared at each other for what semed like eternity. "Lucy," Natsu breathed. She didn't reply, but looked at him, her cheek tinted pink. "Ah... you... I mean... n-never mind." He looked away quickly.

"Hey, pyro! What's the matter with you?" Gray asked as if he didn't know, but he was smirking noticeably.

Natsu, ignoring his "pyro" comment, looked at the ground, and mumbled, "Nothin.."

"Let's go, guys!" Lucy exclaimed, trying her hardest to lighten the mood. Natsu grinned at her, seemingly back in character, and said, "Alright! I'm all fired up!" Lucy smiled, noticing how adorable he was- wait... what?

Now, they were exiting Magnolia. It was gonna be a hell of a long walk, and they were gonna have to do some camping, but none of them really seemed to mind it much. After all, what didn't Erza have in her suitcases?

"Oh! I just thought of something," Erza said, as everyone eyed her curiously. "We can use the magic-mobile (probs got that wrong but whatev) for a short while, if you guys would like."

Gray and Lucy both chirped something along the lines of, okay! Or, Yeah! While Natsu, on the other hand, let out a moan, his face paling at the thought of vehicles. After summoning the vehicle, everyone jumped in, Natsu being reluctant, but going anyway.

Lucy sat next to Natsu, while Gray was beside Erza, who was driving. Natsu's face was a foul shade of green, his cheeks puffed out. Lucy wished there was something she could do to help him, but her mind was blank. A large bump made the vehicle bounce about one foot into the air. Natsu, not being able to handle it, fell to the side.

His (adorable, cute, kawaii, amazing, beautiful, etc.) face was now planted in Lucy's lap. She felt her facs turning a deep shade of scarlet, and her cheeks now rivaled that of Erza's hair. "N-Natsu!" She yelled.

"Luuce," he moaned, " Just... let me do this, for a while... okay?" He inhaled her scent, which seemed to help him with his sickness. "It... feels... nice."

Lucy's face turned even more red, if that was possible. "A-alright." He shifted a bit and now his face was turned away from her. She stared at the back of his head for a while, examining the pinkish, spiky tendrils of hair that spiked up in different directions. It looked so... messy, and such a funny color, while it was also so very... touchable. She tried to resist the urge to run her fingers through his hair. But she found herself slowly reaching towards it, and when she brushed her fingers against the tip of his spike, she found it to be very... soft. Almost like silk, actually. She brushed her hand against his hair, before hearing him moan... she figured that she must not be helping. She had just started to pull her hand away when he reached back and grabbed hers. "Don't stop." His voice was low and raspy, making Lucy shiver.

"O-okay!" She squeaked, her hand reaching his head again, and running her fingers through his fluffy pink hair.
