The Next Day
Natsu was climbing up a mountain so he could train with the heavy hard rocks that were up there. While he was climbing Happy was flying right beside him. Natsu has been climbing for about 2 hrs 10 minutes. Happy was worried Natsu would get hurt and fall so he stayed as close as he could to Natsu just in case he fell, Happy would catch him and fly them up to the top.
"Hey Natsu are you sure you don't want me fly you up to the top?" Asked Happy flying worriedly
"I'm sure I need to strengthen my arms" said Natsu as he climbed up getting tired "also I can't let lazy like the last 3 days we've spent eating, sleeping, and messing around" He added
"yea I guess your right but if you fall I'm only going to catch yah because I don't want you to get hurt not because I love yah" teased Happy as he looked at his little belly
"you love me little buddy you just don't want to admit it" Natsu laughed as he gave a big childish smile at Happy "how high am I anyways?" Thought Natsu as he gave a quick glance down "AHHHH IM GOING TO DIE IF I FALL DONT LET ME FALL LITTLE BUDDY!" Yelled Natsu really scared
"you see this is why I fly so I don't have to worry about falling" teased Happy as he laughed at Natsu
"ok ok I get it I'll keep climbing but if I get tired you'll fly us to the top" Natsu stated as he looked up to see how much he had to climb "almost there finally" thought Natsu as he kept climbing.
"aye sir!" Happy said as he turned around to look down real quick. Happy was able to see people walking around in the forest he saw 9 people they all had black hooded capes on and were wearing their hoodies. "Hey Natsu did you ever talk to Erza like you said you would?" He asked innocently
"yea I did" answered Natsu with alittle anger in his tone
"what did she say?" Happy asked as he looked away from the people
"she's been gone for almost a year ,simply lied about going on a job, and the reason is just because she wanted to be with her monster of a boyfriend of hers" answered Natsu "basically she betrayed Fairytail and doesn't deserve to call herself a Fairytail warrior" he added
"really wow there goes our best female warrior will she ever return back to us?" Happy asked worried
"yea in 5 more month" answered Natsu as he struggled to talk about her and climb at the same time "hey can we not talk about this right now" suggested Natsu
"ok then sorry if I upset you" said Happy as he took his attention away from the people and kept flying by Natsu.
3 hrs later
Lucy was at the guild hall. She looked expressionless as she was sitting down looking at her keys. She was wearing a short sleeveless aquamarine colored dress, her hair was down with a white headband, she was also wearing her silver ring with sapphires, and her white short heels. She was waiting for Levy and Lisanna who were running late. They finally walked into the guild looking for Lucy. Once they saw her they sat down by Lucy.
"Sorry we're late we kind of ran into alittle trouble on the way" laughed Lisanna as she put a flower in her hair
"what sort of trouble?" Lucy asked as she finally looked up from her keys
"well on our way here we ran into some guys who tried to kidnap us but we got saved by someone" said Lisanna nudging Levy with her elbow
"really who?" Asked Lucy concerned trying to think who it was
"Gajeel was passing by with Lily and well he saw we were in trouble so he saved us with Lily's help" blushed Levy looking down spwith a smile
"ooh princess got saved by her dragon how sweet" Lucy said with a smile at Levy
"you know I got saved too but by his cat instead" laughed Lisanna rolling her eyes
"anyways off that topic, have you found out what your going to tell to Loke?" Levy asked as she saw Lokes key was in Lucy's hand instead of in her little brown wraist bag with the other keys.
"Yes I have and I'm pretty sure it's the right decision" answered Lucy as she looked down at Lokes key with a little smile
"Oh really what are you going to tell him?" Lisanna asked suspiciously with a smile. She had a smile because she could tell Lucy was happy about what she decided.
"I'm going to say yes I will go on a date with him" Lucy answered as she grabbed his key looked up and had a smile on her happy face
"oh Lucy is that why your dressed fine?" Asked Levy as she pointed to Lucy's short sleeveless aquamarine colored dress.
"Honestly I just picked something random from my closet but I guess you could say so" laughed Lucy
"so when are you going to tell him?" Levy asked excitedly with a big I'm so proud of you kind of smile
"today at a perfect view of the sunset" answered Lucy "I'm just alittle nervous" added Lucy with a worried expression
"Why what's wrong?" Asked Lisanna with a concerned/confused look on her face
"if we become BF and GF I will feel happy but what if I start feeling hurt again from what Natsu did to me" Lucy said in a low voice as she looked at Lokes key again
"Lulu don't worry about that if that happens well you'll have friends and a special guy with you to confort you, I promise if you 2 start dating a lot more you'll be a lot happy that you'll forget about that mess Natsu left behind" stated Lisanna "in fact I'll have to teach him how to deal with sensitive, emotional, and fragile women that way he won't break anymore hearts" she added
"your right I'm going to be happy if me and Loke become a couple I'll be happy and I will forget about what Natsu did" said Lucy with a smile
"we will always be here for eachother promise you that no one can destroy our friendship bond" Levy stated as if she was a lawyer claiming someone guilty or not
"well I have to go apparently I need to take on a job I'm running low on money see you later and Lucy goodluck with Loke, you better tell me what happens" said Levy as she got up from the table and waved goodbye
"Thanks you two" smiled Lucy as she waved goodbye to the 2 girls who went over to the job request board.
Lucy stayed in the guild hall until she started to get bored, most of her friends were either on a job or were to busy with working/helping out with the guild staff. Lucy got up and went to the training room she hasn't trained for almost 1 week now, she stayed in the training room and trained with her magic abilities, studied spells, or improved her gymnastics moves of attacks or dodging. She stayed there for a while.
2 hrs 20 minutes later
after all that mountain climbing Natsu had finally got to the top of the mountain. Apparently he managed to get to the top without any help from Happy,the only thing Happy was able to do was cheer Natsu on since Natsu kept rejecting Happys offer of flying him to the top. Once Natsu got to the top of the mountain he remained laying down on his back staring up at the clear blue sky. Happy didn't know what to do so he to got on his back and stayed there for a while until Natsu had finally decided to get up and start training. Natsu was using his Fire dragon slayer moves on the rocks that apparently were hard to destroy or melt. As Natsu did that, Happy was speed flying around the whole mountain that way he could increase his speed. Both of them didn't take many breaks except when they got hungry.
"Hey Natsu any luck destroying those rocks?" Asked Happy as he flied by Natsu in circles
"not even a scratch!" Whined Natsu "how did my dad destroy a mountain made out of these rocks!" Natsu said angrily
"your dad was a powerful dragon he had the fire power of a unstoppable heat that's how" responded Happy flying around
"but I'm his son I should be able to have the same heat!" Yelled Natsu as he kicked the rock
"your dad probably trained a lot when he was little" answered Happy teased "and how can you have the same fire power not to be mean but your dads a dragon and your a human oh and you were adopted if you were his biological son then you'd have scales and wings like Igneel" added Happy
"I told you don't say I'm adopted that just sounds depressing" said Natsu pointing at Happy "and I can have scales if I use Dragon Force I just don't get wings, I've only seen Wendy get wings and maybe some scales but none of the other dragon slayers I know get wings with Dragin Force that's just a rip off why does the Sky dragon slayer get both wings and scales!" He added frustrated as he punched the rock
"I don't know maybe girl dragon slayers are more mature to fly with wings" teased Happy
"I'm mature" Natsu said with his arms crossed
"yeah mature ok" Happy said sarcastically at Natsu
"I saw that sarcasm Happy" yelled Natsu "fight me like a real man and stop flying around me your getting me dizzy!" Natsu whined
"hey you said training I am training my speed and the only power I have is flight so your basically telling me to stop training" laughed Happy as he flew away from Natsu "I don't see you training?" He teased
"I was training until you distracted me" whined Natsu as he pointed at Happy
"get back to work" said Happy
"aye sir!" Said Natsu as he started to attack the rock with his abilities "why am I taking orders from my own friend?" Asked Natsu
"because of you stop your basically a weaklink am ill make you dizzy if you keep stopping" Happy claimed as he flew by Natsu
"ok ok you win" Natsu said annoyed as he started to attack the rock again. "Fire dragon wing attack!" No scratch... "Fire dragon roar!" Still no scratch... "Oh come on really.. Fire dragon iron fist!" Again no scratch... "Fire dragon kick!" There was finally a small tiny scratcg "yes Happy did you see that!" Celebrated Natsu
"keep training that's really small" Happy claimed as he passed by
"ok fine" sighed Natsu... "Fire dragon Claw!" No scratch.. "Fire dragon grip strike!" Scratch grew alittle bit.. "Fire dragon crushing fang!" The rock finally broke but only the end of it broke off.
Natsu kept training beating up the rock. He trained the rest of the day while a Happy kept flying around at full speed or boost speed. Natsu felt as if he was getting stronger everytime a rock broke. Natsu were soon going to go back home to the guild they only had 1 more week of training for the GMG's.
3 hrs 5 minutes later
lucy had been training the whole time. She had finally decided that she had enough training time. She almost forgot she had to find a great view of the sunset to talk to Loke. When she stopped training she looked over at the clock she saw it was 5:30 she had to find a great view by 6:00 that was the time the sun got her things and started to walk to the park to talk to Yukino who had to talk to Lucy.
5 minutes later
lucy finally got to the park and was in a hurry for she had to find the right place soon. She walked around until she found Yukino in a white tank top dress with bright yellow on the ends she had a small yellow flower in her short white hair.
"Yukino what's up?" Asked Lucy as she hugged Yukino
"well I can tell your in a hurry but I'm glad you could make it" smiled Yukino "ok so I can't have my celestial spirits any longer you see I learned new magic for self defense and I can't do both magic at the same time it just takes to much magic from me so I want you to have them" said Yukino as she handed Lucy Pisces key, Libra's key, Polaris silver key, Denab silver key, and the Snake Charmers black key. "I know they'll be happy you know have all 12 celestial spirits golden keys" smiled Yukino
"Yukino are you sure about this?" Asked Lucy worried her hand was shaking for she was worried to take yukinos keys
"like I just said I don't have enough magic to do both types of magic at the same time" explained Yukino
"what kind of magic did you learn?" Lucy asked as her hand was still shaking
"I've been learning Plant magic" answered Yukino as she got a blue stained rose to grow out of the ground
"so you've been practicing casting magic" said Lucy surprised
"yes I can do easy things like grow plants out of the ground or dangerous things like grow a carnivorous plant or light shooting flowers to grow out of the ground anywhere but they take up a lot of magic so that's why I'm handing you my spirits" said Yukino as she picked the rose off the stem and handed it to Lucy with her keys
"and you'll be fine right?" Lucy asked to make sure Yukino had made her final decision
Yukino nodded and Lucy just grabbed the keys and the flower "ok I'll take good care of them promise" said Lucy as she put the keys with her other keys. Then they gave eacither a hug as Lucy quickly asked "do you know where I can get a good view of the sunset?"
"Yes yes I do why?" Asked Yukino confused as they let go of each others hug
"I need to get to a place with a good view soon before the sun sets I have something important to do there can you tell me where?" Said Lucy in a hurry
"How about I take you there" smiled Yukino as she smiled
"the faster the better" Lucy answered
just then Yukino got a big flower to surround them getting the, inside the flower as it closed Lucy was amazed "you can do this?!"
Yukino nodded as she smiled "it's like an elevator but travels underground to where I want it to take us" she added
"that's amazing yukino!" Said Lucy still amazed
the flower finally stopped moving and opened a petal up so Lucy could get out "see yah have fun with Loke" smiled Yukino
"wait how'd you know I'm meeting Loke here?!" She asked shocked and confused at the same time by the time she turned around the flower wasn't there anymore no trace nor hole in the ground from where it sprouted
"did I forget to mention I use telepathy to read minds or talk to people", Lucy heard Yukinos voice in her mind and got scared "I'm going to have to get used to this" Lucy thought laughing to herself as she looked to see where she was. She was on a hill by the entrance to the town. "This is beautifully perfect thanks Yukino!" Thought Lucy as she randomly heard Yukino again in her head "your welcome that's really where Sting asked me to be his girlfriend". Lucy laughed as she enjoyed the last few minutes to herself while she waited for the sunset time to come closer.
20 minutes later
Natsu and Happy we're getting ready to find a place to sleep in for the night. They have trained enough and thought they should find a good place. Natsu was looking around as they started walking. Happy was flying above to see any good place from up in the sky.
"Natsu!" Happy yelled from above "be careful remember we're on a mountain not plain land!" Added Happy
natsu gave Happy as thumbs up. As Natsu walked he started to get thoughts in his head, thoughts like "I wonder if Lucy cares that I'm gone" or "I hope I did t hurt her badly" or "I wonder what she's been up to ever since I left". Happy who was up above could tell Natsu was getting thoughts again, it was easy to tell because Natsu zoned out a lot more than usual and he would forget why they left in the first place.
eventually 5 minutes later Natsu had finally found a good place for both of them to sleep at for the night. He waited for Happy to land by him. By the time Happy got there he easily fell asleep. As for Natsu he stayed up a little bit longer he had a thought in his head again "should we just leave back home and abandon the last week?... Nah one week isn't much besides it'll come by fast" and with that he finally fell asleep.
5 minutes later
Lucy was by the enterence of the town she was looking at the little sunset as she started to get ready for what was going to happen. She was nervous she was about to summon Loke but she was scared of what would happen. She looked at Lokes key which was in her hand she was ready to summon but she was scared.
"Ugh ok you can do this whatever happens is what happens just be confident don't be scared imagine the positive things if you do this just don't be scared" she told herself as she took deep breaths she closed her eyes for a second then took a look at the peach colored sky. "Open gate of the lion, Leo!" She finally summoned him after all the struggles.
"You called Prin- I mean Lucy" he said as he appeared out of a golden ray.
"Loke it's fine you don't have to worry about what you call me" she blushed alittle with a tiny laugh
"oh really ok then so why did you summon me? I don't see any trouble" he said confused as he looked around
"did you really forget,I have the answer to your question you asked last time we talked" she explained as she sat down on the ground
"oh yea I forgot oops so you have the answer..." He said alittle nervously thinking she was going to reject him
"yea I do and don't be scared silly" she teased as she looked at the sunset which started to comfort her
"so what's the answer?" He asked still nervous as he stood by a tree
"I decided that I will go on a date with you" she said as she turned around to see him shocked, his eyes were wide open, he dropped his glasses, and was still as if he got frozen "hey you ok there Loke?" She laughed as she got up and grabbed his glasses from the grass so he wouldn't step on them she was giving a shy smile and was blushing at him
"yea" he cleared his throat "yes I'm fine just alittle surprised but I'm fine now" he added as he gave Lucy his flirtatious smirk. He grabbed his glasses from a bright pink faced Lucy who was still holding a shy smile "so tell me did my flirtatious smile finally get to you, making you realize how much you needed me" he teased as he rubbed Lucy's cheek with his thumb
lucy started to laugh alittle "you wish", "honestly I said yes just to try something new plus I've rejected you many times I might as well say yes" she added as she hid behind the tree Loke was standing by
"so does this mean your my girlfriend now?" He asked smirking at her as he found her little face behind the tree
"well this is just a first date, it depends if you prove to me how much you like me" she responded as she sat down again to see the last bit of the sunset
loke put his hand through his pointy lion mane looking hair. "Oh really ok then Lucy so your testing me" he smirked as he fixed his glasses
lucy gave a little nod as she turned to see him with a small smile on her face.
"well you should know I always ace any test" he teased as he walked over to Lucy and sat right by her.
"ok then tomorrow will be the first date then" she said competitively as she blushed at him
"I will ace it promise you Lucy" he said as he took her hand and gave it a tiny kiss. Lucy began to laugh alittle at him as she tried to calm her face down from turning into a tomato color.
"What are you laughing at?" Asked Loke as he let her hand go
"Your lips were cold on my hand, it tickled" Lucy smiled as she looked at Loke. As he returned a smirked smile at her.
The two of them talked the whole time until a stary night fell upon them. Lucy started to get sleepy so she decided to tell eachother goodbye and leave. Once Lucy got to her house she changed into her pajamas and fell to sleep on her bed. Before she completely fell asleep she took one more look at Lokes key by her but then she frowned when she saw Natsus scarf neatly folded by Lokes key. Lucy softly whispered to herself "I'm sorry Natsu it's for the best for me, I can't live in the pain you caused me" and with that she fell asleep into a peaceful sleep.
