A/N: What's up guys :D

So we're almost to the end of the story ;-;

I know I'm sad too but it has to be done.

I might make a sequel though. But I don't know we'll just have to wait and see ;)

Now let's get back to the story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail

Natsu opened his eyes slowly. He was greeted by a bright white light once again making him sweat drop.

"I really got to stop fainting after each fight, because this is getting annoying"

"Kid! You're awake!", Natsu jumped up as he heard Coach yell.

"Well that woke me up", Natsu thought to himself as he glared at Coach. Coach looked super happy with the shiny golden belt on his shoulder. I couldn't help but smile.

"Wait a minute is that….. my belt?"

"Um…. Coach did I win?", Natsu whispered as he kept looking at the belt.

"Of course you did you idiot!", another voice said interrupting what Coach was about to reply back to Natsu. Natsu turned his gaze to the direction of the voice.

"Lucy..", He breathed out with a smile on his face. One thing he loved about being in the hospital was knowing that Lucy would always be by his side when he woke up. Just knowing that made him recover even faster than before.

"So you're finally awake Champion", Lucy said as Natsu's face turned a shade of pink from embarrassment.

"Don't call me Champion", he said with a timid voice making Lucy's heart melt.

"He looks so cute when he's embarrassed", she internally gushed.

"Ok whatever you say… my little Champion", she said with a heartwarming smile.

"Luccyy!", he whined as placed his hand over his forehead, making her giggle at him.

"Ahhh young love", Coach said as he put both of his hands on his cheeks.

"Coach!", I yelled out in embarrassment making him laugh at my misery.

"Well I should probably you two alone", he said as he winked at Natsu making Natsu blush.

"Later Kid!", was that last thing they heard from him as he walked out of the room and into the hallway.

After Coach left Lucy focused all of her attention on Natsu. She kept on staring into Natsu's onyx eyes. She didn't realize that her staring was making Natsu uncomfortably.

"Um… Lucy what are you doing?", Natsu said as he looked back at Lucy.

"Looking at your beautiful face", she replied innocently making Natsu chuckle. "But my face is all bruised up", he said as he pointed at his bruises.

"I don't care you still look adorable", she said while giggling at Natsu's blush.

"So could you please hurry up and get better, we have a date to go on", Natsu's eyes widened how could he forget about his promise.

"Aye ma'am! I'll try my best", Natsu yelled playfully as he saluted Lucy.

"Oh Natsu"

They talked for what seemed like days just like the day they met until a nurse came into Natsu's room telling Lucy to leave so they could check up on Natsu.

"Aww do I have to?", she said with a pout making Natsu smile widely at the cute blonde.

"She's just too cute"

"Yes I'm sorry but we have to examine Natsu", the nurse told a disappointed Lucy.

"It's ok Lucy, the sooner they make me feel better, the sooner we can go on our date", he said trying to cheer up Lucy. And to his surprise it did. She looked up at him and gave him his favorite wide grin that always melted his heart.

"Later Lucy!", he said as he waved his injured right hand at her.

"Bye Natsu!", she replied mirroring Natsu's movements as she headed out the door.

"She sure is a lovely girl", the nurse said to Natsu as she began writing on her clipboard.

Natsu smiled at the spot Lucy was just in

"She sure is"

After three long days Natsu was finally released from the hospital. The second he stepped outside he sprinted all the way to his apartment. He was so excited for his date today. Nothing could stop his enthusiasm.

When he reached his apartment he saw somebody opening the door. This scared Natsu to death.

"A Burglar!"

Natsu readied his fists as he waited for the intruder to come out. But to his surprise Lucy came out.

Natsu sweat dropped,"Lucy?"

Lucy looked just as surprised as Natsu, but then her face got filled with joy. She ran up to him and koala hugged him to death.

"Yay! You're finally out of the hospital!"

Natsu was a bit taken back by the hug but when he realized what was going on he embraced it. Lucy hugging him made him feel safe and warm. It was the best feeling in the world, and he was happy that he could feel it.

"Yes I am", he said as buried his face into her neck.

They stayed like that for a while enjoying each others warmth. Until Natsu remembered what he was going to ask Lucy.

"Lucy, I'm curious what were you doing in my apartment?"

She giggled,"Since you were in the hospital I fed Happy everyday because I knew you couldn't do it. I didn't want the little guy to starve", she said with an adorable expression.

Natsu gave her a toothy grin, "Thank you Lucy" he whispered as he gave her a quick hug. "I bet Happy appreciates it".

She giggled, "I hope so"

They stood there smiling at each other until Lucy realized something.

"I just remembered, you said that you would take me to the carnival after you were out of the hospital"

Natsu chuckled, "I do remember saying that"

"Then what are we waiting for let's go", she said as she pulled him by the arm.

"But I need to shower and change-"

"No you don't, now let's go", she grabbed Natsu's hand as they made their way to the carnival.

Throughout the walk Lucy didn't let go of Natsu's hand. Natsu knew that that's what boyfriend and girlfriend do but still it made Natsu feel shy. Every Time they walked by someone they would always stare at the couple making Natsu blush. Lucy didn't seem to care one bit but Natsu wasn't used to all of these eyes on him. Sure when he's in the ring everybody looks at him, he's basically the main event, but when people stare at him outside of the ring it makes him feel uncomfortable.

But he wasn't going to let them ruin this day for him. All that mattered was Lucy.

"So what's it like being Magnolia's Champion?", she asked trying to make small talk.

Natsu blushed as he scratched the back of his neck, "To tell you the truth it feels pretty normal".

"I doubt that, now that you're Champion everyone looks up to you, they adore you"

"But I don't care if they adore me or not I only care about what you think", Natsu froze as he realized what he had just said.

"Did I say that out loud?"

Lucy smiled at his blushing cheeks, "You are just too cute!" she squealed as she pounced on him making him fall on the sidewalk.

"Luccyy", he whined as pulled both of them up

"Sorry", she giggled as she wrapped her hand on Natsu's again. "It's ok", he said softly as they continued their walk to the carnival, hand in hand.

"But you're way cuter"

They had finally reached the carnival and Lucy couldn't be any happier. She had the same look on her face as the one she had the first time he brought her here.

"Natsu! Let's go on the roller coaster!"

"Hold on Lucy", he chuckled at her enthusiasm, "I still have to buy us tickets"

"Ok but hurry!", she said as she ran to the roller coaster.

"She is such a child", he smiled to himself as paid for the tickets.

Once he had received all of the tickets he ran straight to Lucy.

"Took you long enough?", she said with a playful tone.

"Sorry", he said as he handed her some tickets. She counted them and looked straight back to Natsu.

"Great let's go!", she said as she yanked on Natsu's arm pulling him forward.

"Wait a minute I have motion sickness."

"OH NO! I HAVE MOTION SICKNESS!", Natsu mentally cursed at himself.

"How could I forget about my patches! I'm such an idiot!"

Lucy looked at Natsu. She noticed that the color of his face was green. Which made her smirk, "Did you forget these?", she said as she raised some motion sickness patches to his face.

Natsu's eyes widened, "YOU'RE A LIFESAVER LUCE!", he yelled as he took some patches from her.

She laughed at his forgetfulness as he put on his patches.

"Are you ready now?"

"Yosh! Let's do this!", he said as grabbed Lucy's hand.

Natsu and Lucy were exploring the carnival as they licked on their vanilla ice cream. They had ridden almost every ride, so now they were looking at the carnival games.

"OH NATSU! LOOK!", Lucy yelled as she pointed at a stuffed animal hanging over the prize wall for one of the games.

Natsu looked at the plushie, it looked like a white dog with a carrot as its nose.

"Isn't it adorable!", she gushed

Natsu looked at Lucy, "She really wants that plushie, I better win it for her"

Natsu dug into his pocket to see how many tickets he had left.

"Only one I thought I had more oh well I better hope I don't lose"

Natsu went up to the game booth. He was greeted by a man with a wacky hat.

"Welcome young man! If you can hit that bottle with this bean bag you win a prize!"

"Alright let me at it", he said as he placed his last ticket down. The man took the ticket and handed Natsu a bean bag.

"You can do it Natsu!", Lucy cheered as Natsu readied himself.

"C'mon I can not miss this shot"

Natsu straightened his back as he winded up his right arm.

"C'mon it's just like throwing a punch"

Natsu swinged his right arm as he threw the bean bag at the bottle in front of him. He closed his eyes right after he let go of the bean bag.

"Did I win?"

"We have a winner!", the man yelled out scaring Natsu to death.

"Go ahead and pick your prize", he said as pointed at the prize wall. A red dragon plushie caught his attention. It was so cool looking to Natsu.

"It looks so cool- No Natsu! Remember you won for Lucy not yourself"

Natsu pointed at the white plushie that Lucy wanted making Lucy bounce up and down with joy. The man looked at Lucy then back at Natsu.

"Let me guess you won this for her", he said with a big smile.

"Maybe", Natsu whispered as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Ahh that's so romantic, you truly are a man", he said as he handed the plushie to Lucy.

Lucy squealed in delight as she hugged the plushie with all her might.

"I think I'm going to name you Plue"

"That's a perfect name for that snow- dog ", Natsu replied while looking at the plushie.

"Thank you Natsu! Really I love it", she hugged him just like she did with the plushie.

"Anything for you Luce", he said as he stroked her hair.

Once they pulled out of their hug Lucy let out a yawn.

"I guess that's a sign that we should head home"

"No I'm having way too much-", she was cut off by another yawn.

"C'mon Luce", he giggled

"Can you give me a piggyback ride"

"Absolutely Not", he chuckled

"Pretty please, think of it as training"

"Well if you put it that way", Natsu turned around and crouched in front of Lucy signaling her to get on.

"Yay!", she leaped on Natsu and rested her head on his shoulders.

Natsu got up and started to take both of them to Lucy's apartment. It was a peaceful walk until Natsu opened his mouth.

"Hey Luce?"

"Hmm?"

"You're heavy"

"SHUT UP YOU IDIOT!"
