~PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER~

"Loki? You okay?" Lucy asked patting his back. "Maria…" Loki sobbed. "Urgh, it's not like it's the first time this happened right?" Lucy tried to cheer him up.

"I STILL HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN ABOUT ABBY EITHER!" Loki looked at her angry. Lucy jumped and back away from him.

"Natsu! This is the second time!" Loki pointed towards the smirking Natsu. "YOU OWE ME!" Loki yelled.

"Fine. What do you want? A new car?" Natsu asked. "No, something more." Loki smirked this time crossing his arms.

Natsu raised a brow looking at him.

Lucy sighed as she crossed her right leg over her left. Loki was next to her sipping on some ice tea and smirking satisfied.

"Loki, you are going too far. You expect him to do this?" Lucy asked resting her head on her hand.

"Of course! Anyways, he said he'll do it." Loki said as he took his sunglasses off his eyes and looked at Lucy. Lucy pursed her lip looking in front of her.

"But… 14 cars…?" Lucy asked. Loki shrugged sipping his ice tea again.

"HEY LOKI!" Natsu yelled. He ran over to them and crossed his arms.

"How long do I have to do this?" Natsu asked. "Until you finished washing all of my 14 cars!" Loki smirked lowering his sunglasses and looking up at him.

"But 14 cars? You fucking bastard! It's like 100 degrees out here and you're enjoying this aren't you?" Natsu asked glaring at him.

"Of course I am!" Loki said and put his ice tea down. "Now get back to work!" Loki ordered him.

"You two are so stupid." Lucy said as she got up and entered the house. "Where you going?" Loki called out. "I'll be back!" Lucy said and disappeared inside the house.

Natsu and Loki stared at the door a bit confused. "Get back to work, Natsu!" Loki then yelled. "Jackass…" Natsu muttered grabbing the bucket of water and walking over to his 5th car.

"Hey! You said you'll do it!" Loki called out. "BUT FUCKING 14 CARS WASN'T IT!" Natsu hissed.

"Don't you dare break any of my girls! Or you'll work for me for at least a month!" Loki threatened. Natsu grunted and started to scrub his car.

"Make sure to scrub real hard, Natsu!" Loki said as he leaned back and smiled. "FUCK YOU!" Natsu yelled. Loki just smiled happily.

Moments later someone blocked the sunlight from Loki's view. "You're done already?" Loki asked as he took the sunglasses off and looked at the person in front of him.

Lucy was standing in front of him dressed in a tank top, and short shorts. He blonde locks tied back in a pony tail and wearing some flip flops.

"What are you doing?" Loki asked as he gazed up at her face. "I'm helping Natsu wash your 'babies'." Lucy said as she grabbed his drink, took a sip, and then walked up to Natsu.

Natsu's face had confusion written all over it and then lust. Then finally happiness.

"Are you helping me, Linda?" Natsu asked as he grinned widely. Lucy couldn't help but smile back.

"Yup! Anyways, you look so tired." Lucy said as she grabbed the bucket of water and took the sponge.

Natsu became more excited and happy. Lucy was going to help him! Hurray!

Natsu and Lucy started to wash Loki's cars and go on the next after the other. When they were on the 10th one they took a break, sitting down where Loki was and drinking cool drinks.

"Linda, you should let Natsu clean the cars by himself." Loki said looking at his superstar. Natsu growled at him.

"Why are you so mean, Loki? Natsu's nice to me so I'm helping him." Lucy smiled at the pink haired teen and he smiled back.

"But, he's the one who has to owe me! Not you." Loki pouted. "I don't like it when you're working so hard!" Loki whined as he grabbed Lucy's arm.

"Then you shouldn't work me too hard." Lucy glared at him. Loki back off and leaned back in his chair.

"You don't need to wash all the cars…" Loki muttered and started to sip on his drink.

"THANK YOU!" Natsu jumped up and roared. Natsu started to run around in circles jumping like crazy. "He's too crazy…" Loki mumbled. Lucy just laughed.

"Neh, Natsu! Calm down, you're going to hurt yourself!" Lucy giggled. Natsu grinned at her.

"Hey, where's the bathroom?" Natsu asked. "Go inside, down the hall, and it's the last door to you're right." Loki said.

"Thanks!" Natsu said and ran inside. "Ah, he's so funny!" Lucy smiled as she looked at her manager.

"Lucy, you shouldn't hang out with Natsu. One day he's going to hurt you." Loki said looking at her.

"You worry so much, Loki! He's not going to hurt me, he's very… Nice." Lucy said and Loki rolled his eyes.

"Anyways, I'm going to pick you up tomorrow since we need to practice for your concert on Friday. It's just 4 days away, Luce." Loki uttered.

"I know, I know." Lucy waved him off. "I need to go see my mom this weekend too." Lucy smiles as she looked up at the sky.

Loki frowned looking at the pop star. Her mother passed away 10 years ago when she was 7 years old. And that was when she became famous.

"Lucy, I know you're mother is proud of you. Everyone is, all you have to do is believe." Loki grabbed her shoulder and smiled sincerely.

"Thanks, Loki. You were always like a brother to me." Lucy hugged him and smiled back. "You sure? Just a brother?" Loki asked.

"More than friends but less then lovers!" Lucy said and back away from him. "Jeez, you need to get your own girlfriend and stop chasing after me…" Lucy rolled her eyes.

"Lucy!" Loki gasped, fake crying. Lucy just laughed at him.

Natsu's eyes went wide as he watched the two 'siblings' talk. "Lucy…?" Natsu muttered.

He watched as Loki and Lucy talked and how Loki kept calling her Lucy not Linda. "The hell just happened?" Natsu asked himself. He started to think back.

'Linda and Lucy… are they twins or something?' Natsu thought. "LUCY!" Loki yelled. "SHUT UP LOKI! HE'LL HEAR YOU!" Lucy smacked his head and shushed him.

Something just clicked inside his head. 'Linda is Lucy!' Natsu mentally snapped. He face-palmed himself.

"Duh!" he yelled."The look alike? The name? It all makes sense now!" Natsu said to himself. Then his eyes got wide again.

'LINDA IS LUCY! THE LUCY! THE ONE WHO SANG TO ME AND HUGGED ME! HOLY SHIT!' Natsu thought. A grin stretched across his face. Then he frowned.

"Why did she keep it a secret?" Natsu asked. "Keep what a secret?" Lucy asked as she approached him.

"Oh, Lisanna just told me something!" Natsu lied. "Oh? And what is that?" Lucy asked as she tilts her head sideways.

"S-S-Something! A-Anyways Lu- Linda! I have to get home now. I'm tired!" Natsu grinned nervously, scratching the back of his head.

He was always such a bad liar… "Ah! You want me to give you a ride?" Lucy asked.

"No! I'm okay! I'll walk!" Natsu said grabbing his backpack and dashing for the door. "What's his problem?" Loki asked coming next to her.

"I don't know. He seems flustered." Lucy said and walked away.

Natsu ran all the way home and collapse on his bed. He was breathing hard since he was running and now he found out Lucy's secret.

"What am I suppose to do? Do I tell her?" Natsu asked himself. Then he remembered something back at the birthday party.

"And she's pretty cute!" His voice echoed inside his head. He told her she looked cute!

"I told her she was cute! I told her she was cute! I TOLD HER SHE WAS CUTE!" Natsu freaked out screaming it.

"Who did you tell she was cute?" Wendy asked as she stood in front of his door. "Wendy!" Natsu let out a girlish shriek.

"Who did you tell?" Wendy asked again. "U-Uh, nobody… Hey, Wendy! What would you do if I tell you that I'm friends with…Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"THE Lucy?" Wendy asked as her face lit up in sparkles. He nodded. "YOU ARE! CAN SHE COME OVER?" Wendy yelled jumping on her brother.

"I SAID WHAT IF!" Natsu yelled and Wendy got off him. "Then I would make you invite her over!" Wendy grinned at him.

"Okay. Just wondering. Now out of my room." Natsu pointed to his door gently pushing her out.

"Wait, Nii-San! I came to tell you something!" Wendy said. "What is it? Can't it wait?" Natsu asked as he stood in front of her.

"I don't think so. It's pretty important." Wendy said. "Then what is it?" Natsu asked. "Linda-San is here." Wendy said and Natsu's eyes got wide.

"WHAT! Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Natsu ran past her and to the front door.

He opened the door and he saw Lucy standing there. "LU-Linda!" Natsu yelled mentally slapping himself.

"Hey, Natsu. I just wanted to stop by, you seemed a bit flustered." Lucy smiled at him.

He blushed and his heart was thumping fast. Was it because he was standing in front of the most famous singer all over the world? Or was it because he was worried about him? Either answer was correct!

"L-Linda… I… I have to talk to you!" Natsu grabbed her wrist and yanked her inside. Lucy yelped in surprise and then stumbled inside.

"O-Oh… What are you doing?" Lucy asked as she looked behind her.

Natsu was pacing back and forth in front of her. Lucy stood there while watching Natsu pace back and forth in front of her, looking nervous.

"Um, do you have to pee or something…?" Lucy asked a bit confused. He shook his head quickly.

"L-Linda… I have a confession to make." Natsu finally said as he grabbed a hold of her shoulders and looked into her coffee orbs.

Lucy gulped and she felt sweat going down her forehead. 'Love confession…?' She thought while blushing violently.

"I-I…" He stuttered. Lucy blushed and stared right back into his eyes. "Iknowyoursecret!" Natsu yelled quickly and sighed.

Lucy blinked. "Eh?" She asked. Natsu groaned in frustration and he ran a hand through his pink locks.

"Never mind! I'll tell you next time! Thanks for coming, bye!" Natsu grabbed her hand and pushed her outside.

"Wait, Natsu-!" He slammed the door shut. "What is with him…?" Lucy asked as she started to walk home.

Natsu was leaning against his door while his heart was beating fast. He was too nervous to say anything, or do anything.

Why is it so hard to tell her she was Lucy Heartfillia the queen of music? She already knows, and by looking she doesn't want anybody else to know.

Loki knows, and her parents might know too and why is Natsu too nervous to tell her? He even rudely shoved her out of his house and slammed the door in her face. She probably hates him now!

He groaned as he put his hands over his face. "I messed up…" He muttered. "I have to tell her… tomorrow!" Natsu and said stood up.

He ran to his room, passing his sister, and slammed his door shut. He sat on the bed and cleared his throat.

"Ahem, Linda… I mean Lucy… I know you're secret!" Natsu said. He was silent and then shook his head.

"She could freak out…" He said and then tried again.

"Ahem, Linda! I know you're Lucy Heartfillia so why not just tell me?" He asked. He shook his head. "No. Too straight forward…" Natsu said.

He sighed thinking of many ways to tell her he knows her biggest secret.

But, why didn't she want anybody to know? Maybe because she'll get mobbed by other people? Stalkers? Robbers? A LOT of reasons why she'll never tell.

Maybe he'll keep up with her act for a while and live on making her think she's Linda Akatsuki.

For the rest of the night Natsu kept on trying to think of a way to tell Linda she was Lucy, without causing harm to her or… him.

Natsu went to sleep and kept thinking about tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a hell lot of… 'Fun'.

-TOMORROW-

Lucy yawned and stretched her body. It was morning, and you know what that means. School.

Most people don't enjoy school since they hate learning and waking up early but Lucy loves school.

She was a famous pop star since the age of 7 so she really didn't get to go to school. She was home schooled by others and so Lucy enjoys the life of a normal teenager.

She never got to live her life freely anymore after she got her record deal and sometimes a model in the magazine.

Sure she hates waking up early in the morning and go to school to learn new crap from teachers but school is a place where you can be yourself, make friends, and have fun.

You learn new things everyday and make new friends every day. That's how life goes on. Lucy got up and went to get ready for school.

Her concert was just 3 days away and Loki was going to pick her up today at school.

Lucy froze in her tracks. Pick up from school. Holy shit, Mr. I'M-SO-HOT-I-CAN-GET-ANY-GIRL is going to pick her up.

Probably in his new car and flirt with some high school girls! And some people might even recognize Loki since he is the manager of Lucy Heartfillia.

Lucy started to freak out. She can't be seen with him.

What if a rumor goes around? What if something happens? Lucy quickly got ready for school and called Loki. He answers after 7 rings.

"Hello?" He asked, his voice a bit rasp. Must of woke him up.

"Loki, I don't want you to pick me up at school today." Lucy said.

"What? Why? I need to take you to the concert area to practice." Loki said.

"I know, but… some people can recognize you. You know, since you were in the magazine with me a couple of times…" Lucy said softly.

"I'll wear a disguises. Don't worry, sweetheart." Lucy could just see him smirk.

"Fine. And don't call me sweetheart!" Lucy hissed and hung up. "Sweetheart? Who the hell does he think he is?" Lucy mumbled to herself grabbing her bag and rushing out the door towards school.

While she was walking she heard someone call her fake name. She turned around and smiled when she saw a familiar pink haired teen.

"Natsu." Lucy said as he stood in front of her. "H-Hey, Linda… You walk fast." He said out of breath.

"You were running?" Lucy asked a bit surprised. "Like I said, you walk fast." He grinned at her. Lucy giggled.

"Ah, so walking to school?" He asked. Lucy nodded. "Mind if I join you?" Natsu asked grinning and blushing a bit.

"Nope, you can." Lucy smiled back. The two started to walk to school together.

"Hey, Linda…" Natsu said. Time to try out what he has been practicing for 3 hours last night. "Hm?" She looked at him.

"Um, you trust me… right?" He asked scratching the back of his head awkwardly. Lucy looked at him weirdly.

"Of course I trust you, Natsu. Why would you ask such a thing?" Lucy asked. "Well, just making sure…" Natsu shrugged. Lucy nodded.

"And… would you keep a secret if I told you?" Natsu asked. Lucy smiled at him. She ran ahead of him and stood in front of him.

"Natsu, why are you asking me all these weird things?" Lucy asked staring into his eyes.

He was looking back at her, trying to say what he wanted to for hours and now was his chance.

But now, something else came out. "Because I want to tell you something. I trust you so… keep it a secret okay?" Natsu said looking flustered all over again.

"Okay! What is the thing you need to tell me?" Lucy asked smiling. He took a deep breath and looked straight into her eyes.

"I like the color pink." He said. Lucy blinked looking at him. She burst out into laughter. "Hey!" Natsu yelled.

"You don't think I know?" Lucy asked between her fits of laughter. "What? How did you know?" Natsu asked.

"Look, I don't think guys are born normally with pink hair. It's obvious you dyed your hair!" Lucy said pointing to his pink locks.

"Hey-! My hair color is normal!" Natsu pouted crossing his arms. "Seriously?" Lucy asked as her eyes got wide.

"Yes-! God, I thought I could trust you with this secret." Natsu said pouting. Lucy giggled. Was it just her or does he look cute pouting?

"Natsu, I know that's not the secret. Some guys like the color pink." Lucy said. "I know… it's just I got afraid to tell you the truth…" He rubbed the back of his neck.

"Tell me. I won't laugh or tell anyone. I promise." Lucy smiled sweetly. "Hm…" He stared into her face, trying to see if she was lying. Nope, she wasn't.

"Okay." Natsu grinned. Lucy's face brightened. "You see I…" Natsu blushed. "Sleep with a red dragon plush toy…" He said and looked away from her.

Lucy put a hand to her mouth and tried not laughing.

"PFFTTT-!" Lucy tried keeping in her laughter. "BWAHAHAHAHAH!" Lucy laughed out loud clutching her stomach.

"YOU SAID YOU WON'T LAUGH!" Natsu said as his face turned red in embarrassment. "I-I-I'm sorry! It's just so FUNNY!" Lucy said laughing harder.

"You're so mean!" Natsu said pouting again. "Ah-! You look so cute when you do that!" Lucy blurted out.

Then her face turned red and Natsu smirked. "Say that again? I think I didn't hear you correctly." He said putting his hand to his ear.

"N-Never mind! Anyways, is this true? You sleep with a red dragon plush toy?" Lucy asked raising a brow.

"W-Well, yeah. Nobody knows but you so keep your mouth shut!" He put a finger to his lips. Lucy nodded mimicking his movements.

"Now, you have to tell me something." Natsu pointed towards herself. "What! You never told me anything about this!" Lucy exclaimed.

He shrugged. "Just tell me something. I promise I won't tell anyone. You trust me right?" He grinned.

Lucy bit her lip. What was she suppose to say? 'I'm Lucy Heartfillia'? "Um… I don't have any secrets." Lucy confessed.

"OH, yes you do. Everyone does. Just tell me something and I promise to keep it a secret." He winked. Lucy took her gaze to the floor.

'Should I tell him..? He's trustworthy…' Lucy thought. "Um, Natsu. I-", "LINDA! NATSU!" Someone yelled.

'GODDAMN IT!' Cursed Natsu. "Levy!" Lucy shouted. Levy hugged her and smiled.

"Hey! What are you two standing in the middle of the streets staring at each other so passionately?" Levy smirked.

Lucy blushed while Natsu raised a brow looking at her. "You know, you're weird." Natsu stated. "Thanks!" Levy stuck her tongue out.

"So, what were you guys doing?" Levy asked. "We were just talking, Levy! Common, let's go to school." Lucy said as she turned around and walked ahead of them.

"Levy, why are you here?" Natsu asked a bit whining. "What? I can't be here?" Levy puffed out her cheeks, a bit offended.

"No, it's not like that." Natsu said. "Oh, I see. You want to spend time with Linda, don't you?" Levy teased.

His face turned pink and he looked away. "Hell no! It's just we were having an important conversation and you popped up." Natsu said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well, sorry. I didn't know." She shrugged and ran up head Lucy. Natsu sighed and watched the two girls ahead of them.

"Good, I won't tell her unless she tells me first… probably…" Natsu whispered softly.

They all went inside the school and went to homeroom. The friend met up and started to talk. Then class started and school went by.

Natsu was still flustered about how he'll tell her since he couldn't keep it in anymore.

He can't wait until Lucy told him she was Lucy Heartfillia that would take centuries! He needed to tell her one way or another.

Maybe he'll tell Loki first and then Loki could tell Lucy. For the whole day Natsu kept an eye on Lucy, seeing what she does or what she says.

He wanted to confront to her so badly but he was too nervous. Natsu may not look like a nervous or shy type but when it comes to secrets and girls, he was.

Natsu cares deeply about his companions and he wouldn't even dream about hurting them.

They mean so much to him, and he didn't want Lucy to cry. Especially Lucy. They were already like best friends, nothing could separate them.

Not even fate could. After school Natsu picked Lucy up and they both exited the school building. They stood in front of the school talking for a bit.

"Natsu, I can't walk home with you today. Loki said he was going to pick me up so we can go somewhere." Lucy said smiling. Natsu shrugged.

"It's alright, guess I'll walk with Levy and that ice brain." He grinned. Lucy giggled.

"Hey, Lucy. About this morning, I-", A car pulled up beside them and a man stepped out smirking. The student all stopped staring at the beautiful man who just stopped in front of their school.

He was wearing a suit with his hair fixed up with some gel. His pierced earring was still on and his glasses were a dead giveaway. He looked professional but handsome at the same time. He spotted Lucy and smirked.

"MY BABY GIRL!" He pouched on Lucy and started to hug her. "E-Eh?" Lucy manages to say as he hugged her tightly.

"L-Loki, is th-that you?" Lucy said feeling the air all leaving her lungs. "Yes, I'm your daddy." He smirked. He let her go and smiled tenderly.

"How was school, honey? Did you miss daddy?" Loki asked cupping her face in his hands. Lucy glared at him.

"U-Uh, Linda? Is that your d-dad?" Natsu asked as he watched Loki do this thing on Lucy. "Natsu, no. It's Loki." Lucy whispered to him.

"Loki?" Natsu asked squinting his eyes and looking at him. Yup, that was definitely Loki. He smirked at Natsu.

"Oh! It's been a while Natsu!" Loki purposely smacked his back hard making him stumble forward and yelp in pain. "You asshole…" Natsu muttered as he rubbed his sore back.

Loki just smirked satisfied. "What are you doing here?" Natsu asked.

"To pick Linda up of course!" Loki said. "But why in a disguise..?" Natsu asked.

"Because, I like dressing up. Got a problem with that, son?" He jabbed his chest with his finger. Natsu glared at him. "NO," He said harshly.

"Linda, but I have to say something." Natsu said turning to Lucy again. "Can't it wait? I'll text you." Lucy smiled.

"No, it needs to be face to face." He looked at her seriously. "No time!" Loki shoved Lucy in the front seat and slammed the door shut.

Lucy rolled down the window. "What is it? Hurry up before Loki drives away!" Lucy said. Loki ran to the driver's seat and started the car.

"I know you're Lucy Heartfillia." He quickly said and Loki stepped on the peddle. Lucy's eyes got wide and Loki was driving.

While they drove away Natsu sighed in relief. He finally told her. YES! It was a success and she couldn't do anything about it since she was driving away!

Then the car stopped.

The tires made a screeching sound and Lucy stepped out of the car. Natsu gulped as he saw Lucy run towards him.

He shrieked shielding himself and Lucy grabbed his scarf. She pulled him near to her face until they were centimeters apart.

"Get. In. The. Car…NOW!" Lucy screamed and Natsu nodded.

He dashed towards the car jumping in the backseat and Lucy went back to the car, also getting in the back seat. People stared as they drove away.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU KNOW I'M LUCY HEARTFILLIA!" Lucy strangled him from the back seat. Natsu choked while he tried getting Lucy off him and away from his neck.

"Now, Lucy. Calm down and stop strangling the poor boy." Loki said.

"YOU JUST SHUT UP AND DRIVE!" Lucy hissed and looked back at Natsu who was gasping for air. Lucy let him go and he immediately took a big breath.

He tried backing away from the demon Lucy who was scary as hell. "EXPLAIN!" Lucy barked.

"Y-yes ma'am!" he shrieked. "Yesterday when I went to the bathroom I was coming back and I heard you and Loki talking and I hear Loki call you Lucy and you weren't denying anything! You two were talking about the concert and that's how I found out you're Lucy Heartfillia! You even look like her!" Natsu quickly explained and shield himself once more.

He expected a hit or yell but he heard her sigh. He lowered his hands and looked at her. She was closing her eyes, massaging her temples.

"So, you know… about the whole secret thing…" Lucy said slowly. "Y-Yes…" he answered.

Damn, she's scarier then Erza and demon Mira Jane combined! "Natsu," Lucy said carefully so she wouldn't snap again.

"Y-Yeah?" Natsu squeaked. He felt like just dying right there. He knew he shouldn't have told her! She snapped her head towards him and she was glaring.

"Please don't tell anyone!" Lucy begged throwing herself on him. Natsu blinked. What's with the sudden mood change?

"If you tell someone at school I'll be mobbed! Killed!" Lucy yelled. "I'm begging you! DON'T tell anyone!" Lucy said.

"I-I promise!" Natsu held his arms up. Lucy sighed in relief and smiled at him. "Thank you!" She hugged him and pulled away. He was blushing.

"Thanks for telling me. And I'm sorry for trying to kill you. I just don't want my secret to be out… I like my normal teenage life. Even if it was for only 3 days…" Lucy said smiling sweetly.

Natsu looked back at her frowning. He now understands. Famous people never got a chance to be free without getting mobbed by other fans or what not.

He hugged her and Lucy let out an "Eh?"

"I promise I'll let you have your freedom. What are friends for? You trust me right?" Natsu grinned at her. Lucy smiled back blushing a bit.

She felt so touched right there. "Hey, where are we even going?" Natsu asked as he looked at the driving Loki.

"To the east side of Magnolia. Lucy needs to practice for the concert." Loki answered. "Wait, east side?" Natsu asked.

"Yup! You're coming this Friday, right?" Lucy smiled. "Of course. I got tickets… OH! That's why you couldn't go!" Natsu said looking at the blonde girl.

Lucy winked. "Yup!" She said. "So, what do I do there?" Natsu asked excitedly.

"You stay in the back with me, watching her sing and dance," Loki said. "That sounds like fun!" Natsu yelled.

"For 5 hours…" Loki added.

"W-What!"
