Oh hi (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ ✧ﾟ･: *ヽ(◕ヮ◕ヽ)

This fanfiction probably sucks and it's only the prologue so far ┌( ಠ_ಠ)┘

I'M SORRY (ಥ﹏ಥ)

Since the day Natsu and I met at the park, we became the best of friends. We couldn't be separated. Every morning, he would come over after breakfast and we would go to a soccer field near our neighbourhood with Igneel. Natsu always wanted to go there to watch some older kids play soccer since he wanted to play soccer when he grew up and stuff. And when nobody was using the field he would want to practice his "amazing skills".

Unlike him, I wanted to become an author. I love it when Mama reads me books before bed. When I grow up, I want to write the best books and travel around the world. I can't read quite well yet, but hopefully when i'm older, I can read all those big books that Mama has.

Anyways, back to me and Natsu. He's very overprotective of me. This one time, I got picked on by these older kids at the park. Natsu ended up trying to beat one of them down to the ground.

*FLASHBACK*

"HEY BLONDIE!" I heard someone yell something, so I turned around and I saw these older kids walking right towards me. They looked like they were about..9 years old maybe?

"Are you talking to me?" I asked them with a confused look on my face.

"YEAH WE'RE TALKING TO YOU. ARE YOU REALLY THAT STUPID?"

"Well for sure, i'm smarter than you think. From your looks, it seems like even donkeys could be more intelligent than you are" Point 1 for Heartfilia. I smirked to myself a little on the inside.

"Oh you think you're so smart huh?!" Next thing I know is that i'm being pushed down to the ground. I can feel tears pricking the corners of my eyes.

"LEAVE LUCY ALONE!" I looked up and saw Natsu standing in front of me with his hand up like he was ready to fight them or something…

"Aw. Is the little 5 year old trying to save his girlfriend?" One of the older kids said while crouching down to our level. I felt tears rolling down my cheeks. Natsu turned around and saw my tears. He looked more angry than when Mama hears Papa say a swear word.

"No, I'M TRYING TO SAVE MY BEST FRIEND!" The next thing I see is that Natsu's jumping on one of the older kids backs and trying to attack him.

"NATSU! GET OFF HIS BACK!" I yelled while picking myself off the ground.

"NEVER! LORD DRAGNEEL SHALL AVENGE HIS BEST FRIEND!" He yelled while pulling on the hair of the kid who pushed me down.

"NATSU, YOU CAN'T 'AVENGE ME' IF I'M STILL ALIVE!" I yelled while trying to pry Natsu off of the kid who pushed me down.

After a few minutes a crowd of people formed around us none of the adults tried helping us out though.

"STOP THIS NONSENSE RIGHT NOW!" We all turned around to see Igneel with a very...furious face.

"NATSU! GET OFF OF THAT BOYS BACK!"

"Y-Yes Igneel!" Natsu jumped off the boys back and hid behind me (even though i'm shorter than him)

"Natsu, I want a full explanation on what was happening here."

"Well I wasn't here for the entire thing... but I went to get some water from the fountain, and I saw that they came up to Lucy and started to say some stuff. She said some things back before they pushed her down to the ground. So I got..mad." Natsu said while scratching the back of his head.

"Is that so. You three!" Igneel pointed at the boys who picked on me, making them have shivers down their backs. "I better not see you picking on little kids again, or else you'll never hear the end of it!"

"Y-yes s-sir!" they all said in unison as they ran away.

With that, the crowd watching us all left. And I swear, I heard these two old folks say "Ah, young love" I don't know why, but I felt a blush make it's way across my face. But it went away when I heard someone walking towards me. I turned around expecting to see one of those older kids again, but I just saw Natsu instead. Was he..crying? Before I could ask him what was wrong…

"I-I'm so sorry, Luce." He looked at me with teary eyes, "M-Maybe if I haven't left, they wouldn't have pushed you down and hurt you! IT'S ALL MY FAULT, LUCE!" Next thing I know is that i'm pulling him into a hug. "It's ok Natsu. Really. Don't worry about me. Now stop crying, we wouldn't want people making fun of the Great Fire Dragon Lord, now would we?" "OF COURSE NOT! THE GREAT FIRE DRAGON LORD NEVER CRIES!" He said while breaking our hug. People passing by us must've found this adorable or something since they're giggling at us. Wow. We're pretty mature for 5.

*FLASHBACK OVER*

And then there was the time where Natsu wouldn't let me go on business trip with my parents…

*FLASHBACK*

"NATSU DRAGNEEL! YOU UNTIE ME FROM THIS CHAIR THIS INSTANT, YA HEAR?!"

"I AIN'T UN-TYING YOU FROM ANYTHING LUCY HEARTFILIA!"

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TIED ME UP WITH MY SKIPPING ROPE BECAUSE I'M GOING ON A BUSINESS TRIP WITH MAMA AND PAPA!"

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO AWAY FOR A WEEK LUCY! I'll be all alone again.." He frowned a bit.

"Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it."

"I'm still not letting you go."

"I'll bring you the spiciest thing I can find while i'm there."

"YOSH! YOU'VE GOT YOURSELF A DEAL!"

"Great! Now, untie me."

"Well you see, I don't know how…" Natsu said while scratching the back of his head.

"NATSU YOU DOOF!"

*FLASHBACK OVER*

It took Papa, Mama, Igneel and this random neighbour to get me untied from that chair that day. That Natsu, always going through extremes for me, huh? That or getting both of us in trouble one way or another. Either way, i'm still lucky to have him. He is my bestfriend after all.

*ONE YEAR TIME SKIP*

Natsu and Lucy: 6 years old (Lets just say that they're in the 1st grade)

It's been a year. A year since I met a crying PInky in the park. A year since he moved into my neighbourhood. A year since he tried protecting me from those older kids. a year since he tied me down to that chair so I couldn't go on a trip. A year since all those adventures we had. A year since we became best friends.

I couldn't believe it, but we're starting school today (LETS JUST SAY THAT THEY SKIPPED KINDERGARTEN OK?!) We're going to the first grade! That's like an accomplishment! Right? I hope that we both can make some more friends. But if we don't, i'm alright with it. At least Natsu would still be my friend.

Igneel was the one to drop us off for the first day of school since Mama and Papa went on another business trip. Natsu and I are in the same class. THIS IS GONNA BE SO MUCH FUN!

As Natsu and I were waiting for the bell to ring to go inside, I saw this group of people our age walk up to us. Natsu noticed too. Then one of them said "Yo Flame-brain. Did you miss us?"

I looked at Natsu, wondering two things. Did Natsu know these people? And, why was the guy who came up to us...shirt-less?

And I managed to make another chapter ლ(ಠ益ಠლ)

WOOT-WOOT (づ￣ ³)づ
