The bright sun reflected off the clear water of the ocean. Lucy came out of the water from doing a little swimming. She came back on shore to try and dry off. She looked around and didn't see Natsu anywhere again.

"Natsu, where are you?" Lucy called out. She heard a splashing sound. She looked further down the beach and saw Natsu doing something in the water. She walked down the beach to try and get a better look. "Natsu!" He didn't seem to hear her. She headed further out to try to get his attention. "Natsu!"

"What?!" Natsu said and he sounded frustrated.

"What are you doing?" Lucy said.

"Trying to catch some fish, but the little bastards won't stay still." Natsu said.

"Calm down. We still have plenty of food." Lucy said. Natsu advanced closer and those weird feelings were coming back.

"I know. I just can't take it. I need something to calm me." Natsu said as he wrapped his arms around her and just pulled her in. Lucy thought he was acting strange and just pushed him off.

"What are you doing?" Lucy said and it looked like the two of them were wrestling in the water as Natsu kept trying to grab her and Lucy tried getting away. Lucy tried running back on shore, but Natsu got a hold of her and pinned her to the ground with his face right over hers. Then, Lucy was the one that grabbed his face and pulled him in for a kiss and the frustration was turned to passion as the two of them made out right on the shore line. Natsu slid his hand down her body and moved her panties out of the way. He lowered his boxers and just rammed right into her. "Aw! Aw!"

"Yeah!" Natsu said as he just thrusted right in and out of her with some force behind it with Lucy moaning in pleasure. She's never felt so alive the way she does now.

…

Lucy

Lucy kept moaning with pleasure, but she felt herself getting shake around and she was starting to open her eyes and saw she was in a different spot.

"Hey! Are you okay?" Lucy looked up to see Natsu right over her. "Are you okay? You sounded like you were having some sort of bad dream or something." Lucy looked to see she was still in her clothes and in the bed Natsu made and she saw Natsu was still fully dressed.

"Yeah. I'm okay." Lucy said. She couldn't figure out what was going on with her own head. First, she fantasied about him under the spring while she was washing herself and he was gentle. Now, she had a dream about him right on the shore and he was rough with extreme passion. She's starting to wonder if she's actually falling for this guy.

"Come on. You seem like you need to take your mind off everything." Natsu said.

"How do you plan on doing that?" Lucy asked.

"Come and see." Natsu said and he just took off in the woods.

"Hey!" Lucy called out as she went after him. Lucy followed him into the woods, but she lost track of him. "Natsu? Natsu where are you?"

"Come and fine me." Natsu said, but Lucy didn't see him anywhere. She was starting to get nervous with what he was about to do

"Natsu, this isn't funny. Come out." Lucy said.

"AAAAWWWW…." Lucy heard him calling out and didn't understand until something grabbed her and took her off the ground with her heart nearly jumping out of her chest. She looked to see Natsu had a hold of her as he was swinging on a vine.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack." Lucy said as she took deep breaths to calm her down as the two of them swung back and forth. Natsu just laughed as he thought it was funny.

"It wasn't that bad. You have to admit that it was sort of fun." Natsu said.

"What? You came out of nowhere and grabbed me like some sort of monkey." Lucy said. "What was with the jungle cry anyway?"

"You have to scream that when you swing on vines." Natsu said.

"Whatever. Just let me off this thing." Lucy said as she tried to get out of this predicament.

"Hey, don't move around so much." Natsu said, but it was too late as the vine broke and they both fell out. Natsu landed on his back with Lucy landing on him.

"Oh my gosh! Are you okay?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. It was just a few feet. I'll be okay." Natsu said. He looked up to see Lucy was right over him as the two of them stared into each other eyes. Both of them feeling some sort of connection going. Natsu pushed her hair out of the way and tried to go in for a kiss. They were just a tiny bit away with them feeling each other's breath, but Lucy stopped and tried to pull away.

"Um…I think I'm going back to the beach." Lucy said as she got back up. She wanted too, but she just wasn't sure if she should.

"So close." Natsu whispered as he got back on his feet. "At least let me show you the vines so you can swing around too."

"No thank you after that scare." Lucy said.

"Come on. It's a lot of fun." Natsu said as he went back to one of the trees.

"I'm not sure about swinging in the air like that." Lucy said.

"It will be fine." Natsu said. "You'll just be going back and forth like on a playground swing." He tried to convince her, but she just didn't seem so sure and Natsu could see that. "It's going to be okay."

"Alright." Lucy said if it means Natsu will stop talking about it. She came over to the tree and tried to climb up it.

"Here. Let me help." Natsu said as he tried to push her up. His hands went down a little too close to her liking.

"Watch the hands, buddy." Lucy warned and Natsu moved his hands out of the way. Lucy was able to make and grab one of the vines, but she was hesitant to let go of the tree.

"You still have to swing." Natsu said, but Lucy just couldn't bring herself to let go. She was just too scared. "Swing or not, I got a nice view down here." Lucy could tell he was looking up her skirt.

"Eyes forward, pal!" Lucy said as she tried to cover herself, but she ended up slipping from the tree and she started swinging. She held on the vine as she was holding for dear life. Once she took a moment to calm down, she started to get into the swinging and was enjoying it with the wind flowing in her face. It reminds her of how much fun it was to go on a normal swing. "This is awesome!"

"I told you." Natsu said. Lucy was starting to enjoy her time on this island. She couldn't remember when she had so much fun.

….

The Beach

As soon as Lucy got done swinging, they went back to hang on the beach. Lucy sipped some water to feel refresh.

"That was fun." Lucy said. "I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Back home, it was mostly nothing, but work for me."

"Boy. You sounded like you really needed a vacation." Natsu said.

"You're right." Lucy said. "I know people must be looking for us, but now I'm hoping they take their sweet time."

"So you never enjoyed yourself back home?" Natsu asked.

"It's always been work for me. I never really got to enjoy myself." Lucy said. "Even back when I was a kid, I had to focus on my studies."

"Man, your old man really needs to learn to lighten up." Natsu said. "I say the next time you see him, you tell him to back off some." Lucy wanted to do just that, but she just wasn't sure if she could actually do that. Natsu see he made a mistake and needed to change the subject. "Let's go a swim."

"What?" Lucy said.

"A swim. We're on an island. Why the hell not?" Natsu said. Lucy thought that did sound nice, but she was acting like she was shying away. "Don't tell me you're still reserved about me seeing you with fewer clothes."

"Well…." Lucy didn't know what to say. She wasn't just nervous about that. It was the fact that that's how her dream went. She went for a swim in her dream and when she got close to him, she took her right on the shore.

"You need to relax. It's not like I'm asking you to go skinny dipping with me. We'll both still be in our underwear. Heck, you can go in what you're wearing now for all I care." Natsu said. "Sometimes you need to step out of your comfort zone."

"Step out of my comfort zone?" Lucy questioned to wonder if she could really do that.

"Stay here if you want, but I'm going in." Natsu said as he undressed himself and was left in his boxers. Lucy watched as Natsu went and dived in the wonder. Lucy stood up and searched out as Natsu swam through the water.

"Step out of my comfort zone." Lucy stated. That always did seem to be her problem. Lucy tried her best to stay where she was at home because she didn't want her father to be angry or disappointed with her. That's what really stopped her from having fun for her whole life. Besides, there's no way this could go like her dream because Natsu isn't frustrated or anything and he's already seen her in less. She undid the buttons of her blouse and took off her clothes with her running out into the ocean. Natsu was under the water as he watched some of the fish swam by. He looked and saw Lucy swam towards him.

"Alright." Natsu said under the water and cost him a lot of breath. Natsu swam back up to get some air. He swam back down to her and the two of them swam out together. They swam by coral and were careful not to touch it. Both of them enjoyed the marine life around them. They were actually able to grab the sea turtles and ride them around. A school of fish swam by and actually swam around Lucy and it nearly tickled her. They were even able to get close to some dolphins and swim with them. When the dolphins swam up, the two of them followed them up. As the dolphins jumped, the two of them came up for air.

"Amazing!" Lucy said. "I've never gotten that close to sea animals before."

"See. I told you it's fun to step out of your comfort zone." Natsu said as he swam up to her. Both them enjoyed this moment as Natsu wrapped her arms around her. Lucy thought for a second that her dream was about to come true, but she didn't even want to stop it. She also saw she was wrong as all he did was place his forehead against hers. Lucy wrapped her arms around his neck and the two of them just stayed like that. Both of them closed their eyes to amplify the feeling of each other. The two of them sank under the water and it soon felt like they were the only two people in a beautiful world. The two of them headed back up to shore and Lucy fell on her back on the shoreline with Natsu coming down next to her.

"That has got to be the most amazing experience I've ever felt." Lucy said as she stared out at the open sky. "You know, I've never noticed how amazing everything in the world really is. I guess that's to be expected when you're basically stuck in a mansion your whole life."

"Perhaps. You just need to be willing to go out and adventure into the unknown." Natsu said as he repositioned himself so that he was right over her. "That's how you really see something really amazing."

"Maybe." Lucy said as she raised her hand and caressed his face. "I think it also helps to be with the right person." The two of them felt a connection between them as Natsu was bringing his face down to hers as he was about to kiss her. This was another thing Lucy was about, but perhaps she needs to venture into this unknown as well. However, just as they were about to, a big wave came in and splashed against both of them in the face as it hit shore. It caused both of them to laugh as Natsu rolled away and both of them couldn't help, but laugh. They still might be stranded, but at least they're enjoying themselves.
