Previously On I'll Be Back

"Eeek! These are perfect!" I squealed.

I grabbed the box and stood up very quickly. I ran into something. Or rather someone. My keys went flying all over the aisle, I fell down on my butt.

"OUCH!" I half yelled as I grabbed my butt in pain. "IDIOT! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!" I yelled at the man.

I finally looked up to see who the person I crashed into was. My eyes fell upon a man I hadn't seen before, but after a minute of staring, my eyes widened.

"R-"

My phone suddenly buzzed, it took me awhile to realize it was my phone buzzing. I never took my eyes off of who I ran into.

"H-hello?" I asked whoever called.

"Lu-chan! Are you okay? I heard you yelling at someone! I'm on my way right now!" Levy frantically called.

"N-no I'm fine Levy-chan! No need to worry." I quickly told her, not once taking my eyes off of the man.

"Oh, okay!" Levy replied.

She hung up and I put my phone down.

"Rouge...what the hell are you doing here?" I yelled, pointing my finger at him.

"Nice to see you to Lucy." Rouge rolled his eyes.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean it like that. I'm just..shocked to see you here." I sheepishly rubbed the back of my head.

"No worries." Rouge said with his normal emotionless face.

Since Rouge was...more built than me, he didn't fall down, so he reached his hand out to help me up.

"T-thanks Rouge." I awkwardly smiled.

I started picking up my keys, which he helped pick up as well.

"So what are you doing here?" I asked him again.

"I've been kind of worried about Sting, and you know, you two.." Rouge awkwardly trailed off.

"Oh..."

We had an awkward moment of silence, we were just looking at each other.

I started blushing while staring at him. Everyone in my old school knew about my relationship with Sting, and they all proclaimed that we loved each other, which I did at the time. But I was secretly crushing on his black haired, red eyed best friend for awhile. Even a little bit after Sting and I started dating.

Looking at him now made me remember those small feelings I had for him back then.

"So um, are you going to enroll into Fairy Tail?" I asked, secretly crossing my fingers.

Rouge nodded. "Yeah, I don't know if I'm going to officially transfer to Fairy Tail yet though."

"Oh that's good!" I smiled. "Well I got to go now, I have a huge project to work on. But I guess I'll see you in school soon?"

"Yeah, talk to you later." Rouge slightly smiled.

I started walking away until I heard a cough behind me.

"Lucy? Is there any chance you'd want to go out for dinner with me? You know, so we can catch up on everything that's happened." Rouge slightly blushed while turning his head away.

I too blushed, and smiled.

"Sure! Can't wait!" I smiled before leaving.

I met up with Levy who had a cart of her own stuff.

"Hey Lu-chan, why are you blushing?" Levy asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"O-oh no reason..heh." I stuttered.

"Mhm...sure." Levy rolled her eyes.

"Seriously Levy-chan! It's nothing!" I tried to assure her.

"I'll let you get away with it for now Lu-chan." Levy told me as she walked to the cashier.

We checked out our stuff and made our way back to my car, where we dumped the bags in the truck and hopped into the front seats. We started driving when I suddenly realized something.

"I didn't ask Rouge for his number!. I don't even know when he'll show up at the school!" I forgot that I had changed my number after I moved.

I banged my head on the steering wheel when we reached the next red light.

"Fuck my life." I hissed.

Levy laughed, and I smiled. We soon pulled up to my apartment. I saw my front door ajar. I narrowed my eyes and darted out of the car and into my apartment.

"Wait Lu-chan!" Levy tried to call out to me.

"WHO THE HELL IS IN HERE?" I screamed as I barged into my apartment, ready to Lucy Kick whoever dared to break into my house.

Sitting on the couch, I saw Erza casually sipping tea.

"E-erza? The heck..." I questioned.

"Hello Lucy. You weren't here when I arrived, so I let my self in." Erza calmly replied.

"How did you get in?" I asked with wide eyes.

Just then Levy walked in panting while holding all of the bags.

"Lu-chan! I was gonna tell you that Erza texted me to say that she was gonna let herself in! She's a master at picking locks." Levy smiled.

I heard foot steps coming from my room.

"Yepppp! Erza has evennn broken into the school!" Cana slurred while sipping out of her water bottle.

"C-cana? Why were you in my room?" I screeched.

Cana shrugged. "I was bored. And cute closet you got there." Cana winked.

I blushed, not knowing exactly what article clothing she was talking about.

"Is Juvia here?" Levy asked.

"Juvia is right here!" Juvia smiled while walking out of the bathroom.

"Well, apparently since we're all here I guess we can start." I shrugged.

Levy and I dumped out everything from our bags, while the others dumped out their bags.

We all started working on our projects while gossiping.

"So Lu-channnnnn. Remember when I said I wouldn't let you get away with whatever you were lying about when we were at the store?" Levy mysteriously reminded.

My eyes widened as I remembered.

Flashback

"Hey Lu-chan, why are you blushing?" Levy asked me with an eyebrow raised.

"O-oh no reason..heh." I stuttered.

"Mhm...sure." Levy rolled her eyes.

"Seriously Levy-chan! It's nothing!" I tried to assure her.

"I'll let you get away with it for now Lu-chan." Levy told me as she walked to the cashier.

"Y-yeah..." I nervously responded.

"Spill, now." Levy demanded.

"Juvia is confused..." Juvia frowned.

"Earlier, when Lu-chan and I were about to check out, she was blushing, and I have a feeling it has to do with a boy." Levy mischievously smirked.

"I demand that you tell us." Erza pounded her fist on the floor.

"Fineee..." I sighed in defeat.

"I ran into an old friend, he's practically brothers with...Sting." I paused, letting that sink into their brains.

"Is he just as bad as Sting?" Cana asked.

"No, he's the opposite actually." I softly smiled. "I used to like him, and I still think I kind of do." I blushed.

Everyone dropped what they were holding.

"LIKE HIM?" Everyone screamed.

"W-whats wrong with liking him?" I asked defensively.

They each looked at each other and nodded.

"Because you and Natsu are going to date, no matter what." Levy smiled.

They all nodded in agreement while I blushed.

"Well, I'm not really focusing on my love life right now...I'm more into beating the crap out of the boys booth! Let's get back to work!" I cheered.

I'm thinking about making shorter chapters, and updating more frequently. That or either I update ever month or so and have extra long chapters. What do you think? Tell me in a review or PM!
