Guys! Thank You so much for your kind reviews! It really made me happy. I was even smiling while reading them! I was planning on replying but I don't have much free time now because I'm really busy these days(Maybe next time). I'm only absent today because I have fever and mumps :-(.. But.. I'm still trying my best to recover! Now... On with the story! :-D
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Fairy Tail. Hiro Mashima does.

With a cat taking a few pictures. "Wait till Mira sees this!" he said to himself with a smile.
CHAPTER 3
Go with me!
A certain pink-haired dragon slayer walking beside a little blonde-haired girl and a flying blue cat entered the guild. The two looked completely exhausted and as for the blue cat, well let's just say that he's having fun watching.
"Natsu please?! Just do it!" Lucy demanded as Natsu was placing her on the table and sat on one of the chairs. "Please Luce, give me a break! I haven't had enough sleep lately. Next time okay?" he answered her with his face on the table.
"Oh come on! It's just for a little bit? I really need that Natsu!" the blonde pouted crossing her arms.
"Ohayou Natsu, Lu-chan! What's wrong?" the blue-haired script mage asked as she approached the two. "Arguing so early in the morning is not a man!" Elfman butted in.
"It's because Natsu won't go with me!" Lucy blurted about to burst into tears. It's a good thing that Erza is not around yet or else he'll never see the light of day ever again. Just the thought of that made him shiver. "Luce, you know I don't like these things.. Please understand?"
"Understand what exactly?" Levy asked now confused as to what they were arguing about.
" Well.."
FLASHBACK
(A/N Gomen but I think I will have many flashbacks in the story :-D)
"Luce hurry up in there will 'ya?" Natsu started to get bored and hungry. He's been waiting for about more than an hour for his blonde partner to come out of the bathroom. He wanted to go in there and help her but she said she can handle herself and she even called him a pervert.
"You know Lucy, for an 8-year old you are taking waaaay longer than usual in the bathroom... What are you doing in there? Praying or something?" the Happy snickered. He's bored of waiting so he decided to get fish from the refrigerator.
Just then,Lucy came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her tiny body and steam came out.
"Finally, your finished! Come on let's go!" he said getting up from the couch. "Can't you see I still don't have any clothes on? You idiot!" Lucy exclaimed. "Wait a little longer. I still have to find clothes to we~ Oh shit*!" the blonde shouted making Natsu panic. "Why? What's wrong?!"
"We still haven't bought clothes!" she squeaked as her eyes where wide due to shock.
"Pfft.. That's not big of a deal Luce. Your only an 8 year-old for two weeks so you don't need to buy any of that." he said casually.
"Natsu, can you kneel down for a moment?" the blonde asked sweetly.
" uhh sure?." he said-asked the blonde.
When he knelt down, he was now the same height as the blonde. "So what do you want me to~ blkfff!" he recieved a kick on the face and landed his head on the floor.
"Ouch! What was that for?!" he started to touch his nose that was hit. For an 8 year-old girl, she sure can kick hard.
"I think my nose is broken!." he blurted but she just brushed it off.
"You idiot! What do you mean that I don't need to buy clothes? Do you want me to wear the same damn thing every day for two whole weeks?!" she said with a huff, her face turned into a frown and slightly red. It was just too cute.
"Actually, yes..But- ." he dusted himself while getting up. He went over to her closet and rummaged inside. He found what he was looking for and gave it to her. "Here."
"What the~?" she said while holding a little dress she wore when she was still a kid. She didn't threw it away because deep down, she really like it because her mother gave it to her before she died. (A/N You already know what it looks like. It's the one little Lucy wore in the OVA "Memory Days" :-D)
"Natsu, h-how did you~?" she stuttered, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. Memories of her mother flooding back.
"Shhh Luce don't cry" Natsu said as he brushed a way the tears from her cheek with his thumb. "It's all in the past and don't worry! I'm with you! We're with you!" he grinned and she immediately felt the heat going up to her cheeks. She hid her blush with her bangs and looked away.
"T-thanks Natsu, that's sweet. But uhmm.. A-anyway, just wait 10 more minutes so I can get ready and please, wait in the living room. I don't need help with this kind of things." she said as she pushed him out of her room.
10 minutes have already passed and they were now on the way to the guild
"Natsu, this still doesn't change the fact that I still need to buy clothes." she said as she walked beside him.
"Luce I already told you that you don't need it." He said as he looked at her.
"Of course I do!" she answered back
"No, You don't" he answered again.
"I do!"
"You don't"
"I do! I do!"
"No, you don't!"
The two were arguing like that until they reached the guild.
END OF FLASHBACK
"If that's the case, how about I go with you, Lu-chan?" Levy announced when they finished explaining. "I'd love to go shopping with you! I'll dress you up and stuff!" then as if on cue, the other girls were now by the table wanting to go shopping with the little blonde. "Let me come too!" "Let me go with her!"
"I saw this cute violet dress! I was dying to get it for Lucy. It will suit her perfectly!" Laki exclaimed, her hands clasp together.
Annoyed with all the noise, the little blonde snapped..
"Everyone be QUIET!" she screamed. Silence was now throughout the guild.
"I'm not going shopping with anyone unless Natsu comes with me!." and with that all the girls went over to Natsu.
"Natsu, if you don't come with us it's your choice. I guess you don't want to live anymore so that's fine with us. Right girls?" Levy threatened the pink-haired dragon slayer. Who suddenly ran around the guild with the girls chasing him.. The other members just watching in amusement
After 15 minutes of running around, he was finally caught by Cana. (You know what happened next.. Gee Hee)
"I still don't get how I ended up shopping with the girls. Not only that, Lucy wanted me to carry her and the shopping bags all at the same time! I just hope that I won't be seen by stripper or else he'll be teasing me for 2 months! Geez!" Natsu murmured to himself as he walked behind the girls who were pointing and pointing at other kid stuff (A/N I forgot to mention that he is with Cana, Lisanna, Levy, Laki, Wendy and Kinana hihihi).
"Come on Natsu! You're too slow! Pick up the phase!" Cana yelled at him while carrying a bottle of booze on one of her hands.
"Ne, Natsu, thanks for coming with me" the little blonde whispered while hiding her blush. She suddenly felt bad because she made him carry all the stuff.
"It's nothing Luce, besides, even though they made me carry this stuff, at least I'm with you right?" he grinned at her. Her heart beat faster. She smiled back.
By the time they finished shopping, it was already 4:00 p.m. The girls went back to the guild while they went straight home.
"Uaaahh! I'm beat!" Natsu said as he laid the shopping bags and collapsed on Lucy's bed. They already ate at the food court in the town so he's not hungry. He looked at the blonde who's checking out the clothes and kid stuff the girls bought for her.
"Oooh! I like this! I like that too! This is soo cute!" she squealed in delight as she looked at herself in the mirror, a big smile on her cute something caught her eye. She went over to it.
"Look Natsu!" she said while holding a stuffed toy. "It's a red dragon! Just like Igneel!". He looked at toy for a brief moment and smiled.
"You're right, it kinda looks like him!" he said while smiling at the blonde.
"Hey. as a reward for going with me today, I'm giving it to you." She said as she went over to him and gave him the stuffed toy. "I had so much fun today. Thank you for that." with a blush, she gave him a small kiss on his right cheek. He can feel the heat going up to his face. His heart beating fast. He never felt this before.. What's this feeling? Maybe hunger? No, that's not it. What is this?
"D-Don't mention it, Luce! I had fun too! and thanks for this." he smiled at her.
"A-anyway, I'm going to take a shower okay? I-It might take long so it's okay if you go to sleep first." with that said the blonde hurried to the bathroom.
Just what came over her? and why did she kiss him?.. she thought as she put her hand on her chest. It's beating really fast!
"I think I like him" she smiled as she thought to herself.
Wuhahahah! Sorry minna if it's short! I was really smiling while typing this story. haha.. I was thinking of releasing 2 chapters today but, I have no other ideas left.. So maybe I'll do it next week :-D anyways... Review please! Ja Ne
