I told you guys, I'm bad with updating. It has gotten to the point where my laziness has interfered. And that is never a good thing.
Mother's Day is tomorrow, so be nice to your mom; she deserves it :)
Let's get on with the update.
And yes, this is where it finally happens.

Chapter Ten
.:There She Goes:.
"Loke?" Lucy said, looking her doe brown eyes to the school's flirt, who stood in front of her. He was dressed as a lion, with orange cat ears stuck in his mangy golden-orange hair and had a black suit on with black sunglasses. Ironically, he discarded the lion's mane for a giant gold chain that hung from his neck, the name "LOKE" in big bolded letters. Yeah, definitely a king, Lucy gave a weary smile to Loke. He took her hand and bowed down, kissing her hand with tender lips and delicate fingers. Looking up, Loke smiled.
"Are you nomad?" Lucy asked, taking her hand away from Loke's. He blinked, "Nomad?"
Another voice interrupted the conversation, "Indeed. I have traveled through time and space to find you."
"Dan?!" Lucy and Loke exclaimed, turning their attention to the brunette. Dan was dressed in a knight in shining armor costume, with a sword at his side and no helmet. His armor clanked when he walked towards Lucy and Loke, who were still surprised at the boy who never went to after-school activities.
"Yes, 'tis I!" Dan yelled, kneeling down on one foot and taking Lucy's hand to kiss it. Lucy blanched when there was leftover spittle on the back of her hand. Pulling his lips away from her hand, Dan smiled, "Now, join me in the mating dance of L.O.V.E.!"
Love?! Lucy's eyes widened a bit when Dan started to dance around her, contorting his body to the letters of the word "LOVE". Loke watched with sharp eyes, hoping that Lucy would walk over to him and ditch the loser who was embarrassing his fair maiden in the middle of the dance floor.
"D-Dan, that's nice of you . . . " Lucy started, but faltered immediately when some eyes were on her and Dan. A couple of people chuckled and laughed at the two, or more likely Dan. Lucy was just standing under the disco ball, turning herself around when Dan would "dance" behind her. Lucy sighed, closing her eyes and trying to tune out the blasting and booming music.
Off on the sidelines, Karen and Angel were standing on the staircase, watching as a group formed around the mysterious girl, the dancing freakazoid and Loke, the school's playboy in-the-making. Angel squinted her eyes, having a slight tug on her gut. "Hey, I know that girl somewhere . . ." Karen muttered, looking at the surrounding people. Angel glanced at Karen, then muttered something on the lines of, "Idiot." and more incoherent words.
Dan noticed Lucy wasn't looking at him with closed eyes. Taking this opportunity, Dan grabbed the girl's hand and spun her around, waking her up i n her reverie. Lucy's eyes opened immediately when she felt the world spinning and colors seemed to become blurs and splotches in her vision. The world stopped spinning and Lucy felt relieved for a second, before the feeling of falling into someone's arms scared her. The next moment, she was face to face with maroon colored eyes and dark blue eyes off to the side were scowling.
"I-I'm thirsty. I gotta get some punch." Lucy said, the color in her face returning once Dan pulled away from the close distance. "Some libations for the fair maiden?" Loke said, pulling Lucy away from Dan. Lucy silently thanked Loke for getting out of Dan's monster grip as she stood back up on her feet.
"Your wish is my command!" Dan said, running over to the punch table. Loke scowled and ran off to the punch table before Dan got there first, leaving Lucy alone once again on the dancefloor. Lucy sighed, fixing her mask and looked down to her feet, ruffling her dress. "I knew this was too good to be true." the girl muttered, curling a finger around one of the curls of her golden hair and closed her eyes.
"Princeton Girl?"
Lucy's eyes shot open and she stood frozen, realizing who was behind her. She slowly turned around, her eyes very cautious and her body hesitant.
But there he was, in the flesh. Standing before her was the school's famous football player; the ever-so-amazing-
"Natsu Dragneel?" Lucy said, giving a questioning look to the pinkette dressed in a princely outfit. "You're Nomad?"
Scratching the back of his neck, he bashfully looked at her, "Yeah, I guess my costume doesn't do . . ."
"No, I know exactly who you are." Lucy spat out, giving a slight glare, then sighed, "I'm sorry. This was a really big mistake. I've gotta go." Picking the end of her dress she started to walk out and off of the dance floor. Nastu stood in his place, shocked that PrincetonGirl818 didn't want to meet him as much as he wanted to meet her. Watching her leave had struck through him like lightning, and before he knew it, he was catching up to her. "Wait!"
Lucy smiled bitterly, I knew I shouldn't have come. Picking up her pace, she almost reached the stairs. So close!
"Wait, wait!" Natsu shouted, finally catching up to her. He grabbed her elbow and held on it like it was his lifeline, but he loosened his grip when he was reminded that this was a person. "Wait, it's not a mistake."
"Don't you know who I am?" Lucy said, her eyebrows wrinkling upwards and her eyes filled with worry and concern. Natsu looked at her, mirroring her look, "Of course I do. You're Princeton Girl. You're the girl I've been waiting to meet. I know who you are." He leaned towards Lucy, squinting his eyes before pulling away from her face, "What's your name?"
Lucy's heart dropped.
"Your sweet Iibations, my Iady." Loke slyly said, pushing Dan's face out of his way. Noticing that Lucy was in distress, Loke looked over to the second male in front of him. Fixing his posture, Loke cleared his throat, "Mr. Dragneel." Said guy nodded to Loke. "Natsu Dragneel with my Lady. A devastating blow, but a worthy opponent." Loke breathed, holding in his loathe for Natsu at the moment. Sighing, Loke looked to Lucy and bowed, turned back to the dance floor and disappeared in the dancing sea of people.
Lucy looked back at Natsu, her eyes glancing at Kimberlie every so often, "What about your girlfriend?"
Natsu smiled, "It's over."
Lucy wrinkled her eyebrows, face covered in confusion. Natsu's smiled dropped, his head glanced to his clothes and he chuckled, "I guess you were expecting some guy who hangs out at Starbucks, and writes poetry, right?"
"Something Iike that." Lucy smiled, blushing a little when his eyes looked up through his eyelashes. Lucy sighed once Natsu still hadn't looked convinced, "Come on, you're Natsu Dragneel. You're football captain and student body president," she gestured to him with a pained smile, "And closet poet? You can't be both guys."
Natsu stood up straight, "I'm not."
"Then who are you?" Lucy looked at Natsu, watching him as he struggled to say his next sentence.
He started to move his calloused hands, "On September 7th, I wrote you: 'I Iive in a world full of people pretending to be something they're not. But when I talk to you-"
"I'm the guy I wanna be." The blonde smiled when he grinned a toothy grin.
Natsu shrugged his shoulders, "Give me a chance to be that guy." He nudged his head to a nearby exit, "Do you want to join me for a stroll outside?"
Lucy giggled and cocked her hip out, crossing her arms and giving a teasing smirk, "If you wanna be voted homecoming prince, you'd better stay inside."
Natsu shook his head, "I really don't care about becoming homecoming prince."
The blonde beauty smiled, linked his arm with his and walked outside with the princely pinkette, passing by a certain teacher, whom smiled at the two and wrote on the clipboard, voting for the unsuspecting couple.
It's been so long for this to happen. And yes, they met, flirted a bit and now they're off to somewhere.
This should be interesting.
Well, I hope you guys liked this because this has been sitting around my files and I could never get to it. But now I did :) Now, I'm gonna watch Cry's livestream at 11 so yup.
(For those of you whom have no idea about Cry, look up "ChaoticMonki" on YouTube. He has such a sexy voice, I do admit. And no one has seen his face, except his friends and family and other public people I don't know anymore so why are you reading this little rant?)
See you guys 'round!
