On to the story!

A small petite blonde hair girl was in the park, on the swings, crying her eyes out. She kept on crying and crying, even her mother could not make her atop crying. Lucy kept on sobbing, how come she didn't have any friends? Why do those people have to be mean to her? How come these kids ditched her? Didn't they say they wanted to play with her? So, why did they have to be mean to adorable little- Lucy?

"Why are you crying?" asked the small boy. Lucy eyes fluttered open and stared at the boy – who was her age- next to her. Lucy blinked a few as if it was obvious.

"My friends said they were going to play with me," Lucy stated, "But when I got to the park they've walked away from me. I wanted to know why, but they just laughed at me. They called me mean name like ugly, stupid, and even the worst one: fat." Natsu gave the blonde a sympathetic smile. He walked towards her and sat next to her by the swings. Layla – Lucy's mother – watched the two, and a ghost of a smile played her lips.

"I will play with you," Natsu said. Lucy stopped sobbing and stared at the stranger. She blinked a few time before comprehending what the boy just said. She smiled big and wide, there was a faint blush across her cheek.

"You'll really play with me!" exclaimed Lucy. Her smiled did not faltered but she did doubt that he would trick her. Natsu smile big and wide, he elbowed her playfully, before standing up. He stood in front of Lucy while the sun was going down.

"Of course I'll play with you." Natsu said crossing his arms. "Didn't I say that?" Natsu was the kind of person keeping his word. The corner of Lucy's mouth smiled, and she ran to hug Natsu.

"Thank you, umm, pinky." Lucy said while smiling. Natsu arched an eyebrow and his jaw clenched with annoyance.

"It's actually salmon and my name is Natsu." He said. Lucy put her soft, short arms around Natsu's waist. Natsu turned beet red form her action. But Lucy did not notice.

"My name is Lucy!" She exclaimed. Natsu scratched the back of his head and still Lucy's arm was locked around his waist. It somewhat felt uncomfortable with Lucy. Natsu felt suddenly hot and the air got thicker.

"W-W-Well n-nice t-to m-meet y-y-you L-Lucy." Natsu said. He cursed to himself for his stuttering. Lucy quirked an eyebrow before throwing her head back and laugh. Natsu was a little too cute for her liking.

"Natsu you're cute when you're nervous." Lucy stated a matter-of-factly. Natsu let stomped his foot and let out an "hmph." Lucy laughed louder – yep – he was just so cute.

It's has been a month since Lucy and Natsu met. They would always go to each other's house, always share food, always sing loudly together, always would try to make each other blush, and always have fun together! Lucy was so happy that she has met him. She admires and learns from Natsu so much. It's like he was her other half that she didn't know about. Natsu was so fun and does not even play by the rules. He would always do things his way. Even though they were so not compatible, Lucy enjoys having Natsu around her. She would always feel empty if he's not here to play with her. And every time she sees him with some other girl, she would have a burning sensation in her chest. It stung her very badly. She even told her mother that, but her mother just smiles at her. She didn't even told Lucy what the felling was.

When Lucy is around Natsu her heart would do funny things. She would always blush madly when he gives her a toothy grin. Her small little heart would beat a hundred times faster if he's so close to her, or even touches her. These feelings were so annoying it's like have butterflies in your stomach, literally. When Lucy finally turned fourteen years old, she finally understands the feeling she's been having.

She was in love with Natsu.

OH MY FREAKIN HONEYS!

She was in love with Natsu!

She wanted to tell him, fast. But one day changed Natsu and Lucy lives forever.

"What you're moving!" Lucy exclaimed. She was in shock and she was in the verge of tears. Natsu took Lucy by the hand.

"I'm sorry Luce, but my dad got a job in California." Natsu stated (a/n: sorry, couldn't find a place.)

Tears started to come out of Lucy's eyes. Her bottom lip was trembling in fear on how she will lose Natsu forever. "But you can't leave. I will miss forever."

Natsu gave her a sympathetic smile before hugging her. "I know you will and I will miss you too. But I will come back in no time; it's only for three years." Lucy hugged Natsu tighter – not wanting for him to leave.

"Natsu don't go. I-I love you, Natsu." Lucy said. Natsu pulled away from their hug and wiped Lucy's tears away with his thumb. He gave her a small smile before kissing her softly on the lips. Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed back. The kiss was full of meanings: love, kindness, passion. Lucy didn't want him to leave she want him to stay with her for eternity. There lips moved in sync with each other's. Finally, Natsu pulled away, breathing hard, resting his forehead on hers. He intertwines both of Lucy's hands with his. Oh how he loves this girl. He hated to see her cry it would leave a sharp pain in his heart.

"I love you too, Luce." He said kissing her temple. "But I have to go, and I promise to never forget you."

Lucy stuck out her bottom lip and she was brimming with tears. "I promise not to forget you too, Natsu Dragneel." They kissed one more time before Igneel – Natsu's father – started to call him. Natsu gave Lucy a tight embrace. He was about to leave before saying one more thing to Lucy.

"Lucy Heartifillia, when I come back, I want to marry you right away!" Natsu shouted. Lucy hands were on her mouth before shouting.

"Okay dimwit, come back and marry me!"

He gave her one last toothy grin and left her. Lucy was now on her knees crying.

"Natsu!"

Aw, this was so sad. I love how those two fell deeply in love with each other. It makes me sad how Natsu has to leave for his father's job. Man, tears are coming out of my eyes. *Sobs quietly to herself.*

xxAniAnimexx: Why did you have to make this chapter so sad? *Starts crying*

Black Phoenix: I don't know!

*Both of them started to cry loudly and there was now an ocean full of tears.*

xxAniAnimexx: Well, we hope you enjoyed the chapter!
