Author note: Finally, SO close to starting the party. I plan to upload this one real short and sweet so 8 and 9 will be long! Then, 11… well you'll see! *evil smirk* Enjoy!

Lucy's Pov:

*Sits up and stretches while yawning* "I slept great last night."

"Yeah me too. I guess when you're up I'm up, and when you sleep I fall asleep too. That's cool."

"So we have nicknames now huh?" *laughs and walks to bathroom*

"Yeah I suppose we do Lucy."

"Faye."

"Yes Filia?"

"I just realized I didn't wake up with Natsu in my bed today..." *realization hit as I turn on the shower and hop in*

"If I didn't know any better, it would sound like you wanted him to be in your bed this morning." *devilish smirk*

*blush* "NO, NOT TRUE! He snores REALLY loud, and he cuddles with me in the middle of the night!" *blush deepens*

"Filia, you do know I can see the memories you are recalling right now. To me they all show YOU cuddling up to HIM. I don't think you mind the snoring because that looks like you plan to-."

"AHHH! BE QUIET! SO WHAT IF I LIKE NATSU! It's not like he feels the same way about me…" *starts to tear*

"Lucy… it's okay please don't cry. I'm here for you. Literally, my soul combined itself with yours to help you and give you advice. Let me carry some of the load off your shoulders. We just met yesterday and I already care for you very much, which makes me think, if I already see you as a friend… what does Natsu REALLY see you as?"

"Krista, I've been wondering something."

"What about?"

"You and Ace. You guys are dating right?"

"Yeah for a little over a year now. Why?"

"What's it like to be in love?"

"I can't tell you that."

"Why not?"

*smiles* "Well for one it feels different for everybody, and two… because I can tell you already feel it. So I don't have to explain it."

"I'll take your word for it. Although I do want to know something…Have you and Ace?"

"…Had sex? Yes of course lol."

*deep red blush* *shriek* "Jeez blunt much! What do you guys like to do for fun?" *Turns shower off and steps out getting dressed*

"Well, we like to play fight, watch movies, video games, and I like to watch him play the guitar."

*warm smile* "That sounds nice. Your world can't be so bad."

"HAHAHAHA! I BEG TO DIFFER! Our world is high standards, and completely overrated. I mean c'mon now the cost of living here sounds easier than it is where I'm from. I honestly don't care if we find a way back home or not. I prefer here any day."

"Really? You don't want to go home?" *brushing hair*

"Not really…All I want to do is send a note home to my family telling them I'm safe and to not look for me. I'm sure Ace would agree with me."

"Well how about this instead, when you and Ace get your bodies back, me, you, Ace, and Natsu can all go to your world to say goodbye in person." *smiles*

"I would love that Lucy…"

*Smirk* "Yeah, I kind of want to visit your world anyway." *Heads out bathroom door."

"Sounds like fun to me!"

Natsu's Pov:

(Man I'm so tired…)

"Get up off your lazy ass Natsu! You are late with your day with Lucy!"

*Yawns and looks as clock* (Oh shit.) "DAMNIT I SLEPT LATE?! HAPPY! *looks to find happy snoring on the floor* Oh well we did stay up late last night."

"Yeah we did. Hey, it was worth it! We drew out all the designs and came up with what we want on her bracelet for it to get custom made for ~luuccyy."

"We even made it to where she can add more, and we are buying two so she can fit all the charms I plan to get her." * smirk*

"Natsu we need to get going to her place. Hurry and wake happy up."

"HEY HAPPY! *walks over to him and shakes him* WE NEED TO GET TO LUCY'S!"

*yawns* "Natsu...? *gets up and wings appear* "Aye sir! *rubs eyes sleepily*

"Don't tell me we are about to get a ride from Happy?!"

(Oh yes we are!) *grins kicking open the door* "Lead the way Happy!" *points out of the door*

"AYE!" *takes off*

"WOOOAAHHH!"

(In front of Lucy's apartment)

I climbed up to her window and hear the shower turn on.

"Natsu, why are we climbing through the window?! She has a door."

(Because I never use the door. *internal laughter*)

"Oh…ok!"

*whispers* "Happy I'm gonna go in you wait outside for me and Lucy ok?"

"Aye."

"Are you sure about this Natsu? She could be naked…"

"…"

"..."

"That's fine by me." *smirk and deep blush*

"I did not want to see that Natsu! STOP WITH YOUR HEAD IN THE GUTTER!"

(THEN UNSEE IT ACE SHE'S MINE!)

"I know I have a girl too." *thinks of Krista*

(Now who's the one thinking dirty. *smirks*)

"Just shut up and go in already."

(Alright alright.) *slides up window*

I climb in and hear her talking in the shower.(That must be her and Krista talking…)

"Yeah, let's eavesdrop."

(WHAT WHY!?)

"You never know what useful info you can hear when a girl thinks you aren't listening. Trust me I know."

"Fine." *huff*

I make my way to the bathroom door and hear,

"NO, NOT TRUE! He snores REALLY loud, and he cuddles with me in the middle of the night!"

"I think she's talking about you man haha."

(Yeah... she is.)

"AHHH! BE QUIET! SO WHAT IF I LIKE NATSU! It's not like he feels the same way about me…"

(She what? Likes me? Please… don't cry. *Puts hand on door* I hate it when you cry.)

"Natsu…let's keep listening."

"Krista, I've been wondering something."

"You and Ace. You guys are dating right?"

"What's it like to be in love?"

"Looks like Lucy is curious about loovee." *coos*

(Could Lucy love me? Do I love Lucy? *mind spins*)

"Ouch you're making our head hurt."

(Sorry.) *calms down and continues to hear*

"Why not?"

"I'll take your word for it. Although I do want to know something…Have you and Ace?"

"I'm sure I know what she was gonna say lol, and yes we have." *Confident tone*

"*shriek* Jeez blunt much! What do you guys like to do for fun?"

(Yeah Ace I think it was what you were thinking…) *deep blush*

*Shower turns off*

"Should we go now?"

(No wait she brushes her hair after a shower we have a minute more.)

"Oh ok just a few seconds more."

"That sounds nice. Your world can't be so bad."

"Haha that's funny."

"Really? You don't want to go home?"

"Krista, I don't blame you baby I agree with you." *light laugh*

(Why not?)

"Not even near as fun and free as it is here."

"Well how about this instead, when you and Ace get your bodies back, me, you, Ace, and Natsu can all go to your world to say goodbye in person."

(That sounds like fun I'm fired up!) *internal excitement*

"Sounds like a plan."

*Hears footsteps head towards the door*

(Oh shit.)

"GET TO THE BED AND SIT DOWN!"

I sit down on her bed and the door opens.

"Natsu? What are you doing here?"

(Oh no not the towel again…) *blush*

"Just got here actually."

"Oh ok, are you ready to head out?"

"Yeah."

I'll be here, but I'm gonna let you spend time with Lucy. Talk to you later Natsu."

(Alright.)

With that we left her apartment and met up with Happy waiting at the entrance of the building.

Happy let out, "Natsu what took yo-."

*Gives glance to shut up* "I was only a second happy." I stated.

"Oh ok. I lost track of time." *fake laughing* Happy came to my side.

"Ok boys we are gonna go look at what they have in the market places today." *she says happily grabbing my hand*

(At the market)

I watch Lucy as she spots a charm that's shaped as a star, and the zodiac signs. She picks up the Aquarius zodiac charm and clutches it tight.

"I don't have any money…but ill be sure to come back and get this." *she sets down the charm*

(I know what I'm getting Luce!)

"I'll be right back Natsu! I am going next door to look at their books." Luce called out.

"Sir, I want to buy these. *holds out yellow star, a flame, Aquarius, red dragon, pink Fairy Tail emblem, blue cat, small map with the word, in fine print, "Hargeon", and lastly the letter H charm*

"That'll be 80 jewel." *smiles and holds out hand*

*Pays man*

"Happy, come here."

"Aye, what is it Natsu?"

"Hide these in your bag will ya."

"Aye Sir." *stuffs in pouch*

(After hours of strolling the marketplace)

"Ready to go to the guild Natsu?" Lucy smiles at me.

"Yea I guess so." (I wonder what everyone is doing…)

Lucy and Happy open the guild doors, and it's dark as hell.

"Who turned out the lights?" I ask confused.

"SURPRISE! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY NATSU!"

Everyone in the guild shouted and came out of hiding as the lights went on.

"You guys…threw me a surprise party?" *tearing up with joy*

Erza interjected, "Of course!" *eats cake*

"You deserve it man." Gray admits. *bro hug*

I turn to Lucy and she looks so happy.

"Surprise." she finally says smiling.

"Thanks Luce you're the best."

"WHAT ABOUT ME NATSU!" Happy yells.

I look at him and laugh out, "I guess I can forgive you for not telling me Happy."

I smirk and let out so the whole guild can hear, "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! I'M ALL FIRED UP!"

Author note: Short and sweet? Nope tricked myself. Couldn't stop writing! I aim to please, and I want to notify I will be posting three times a week from now on throughout the week whenever I am available to do so. Once summer comes it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks for reading, and come again!
