HeorieOtaku: I am just going to keep it nice and short. Please review, but keep them positive, and I am so tiered that I think after I post this, I may go to bed, but who knows. Have a nice read.
Chapter 11
Goodbye, Fairy Tail. Hello Adventure.
Natsu and I were grabbing our things, ready to go. "But I want to go! I don't want to stay with Lissana! Why won't you let me go! Lucy, you said that you didn't want to go. You said that, so I didn't expect Natsu to leave me with Lissana! Don't leave me here." Happy wasn't taking the news that we were not taking him with us very well. He was crying the time we were packing up.
I feel bad for the little fella. I did tell him that I wasn't going. I leaned down and gave him a hug. "We will be back when we get back. Don't worry. I promise, and you know I don't break promises, that I will take you next time with us." I pulled back to look at his face to see he was still crying.
I wonder how I can help him stop crying. I need to figure out a way. I got it. It's simple enough. Ok, Happy. Now stop crying. Please. For both Natsu and I."
He looked at me and wiped off his face. "Ok, I will do that. Just come back alive. I don't want to hear that you were hurt in battle or something." He started to giggle. Sometimes, I wonder what is going through that cat's mind.
I went to turn around, but Happy continued. "And I know why you are going with Natsu alone."
I looked at him in surprise. Does he really know why? I mean, it's not like he knows what happened between Natsu and I. We did have that fight. I wonder what he is going to say. "Why do you think I am going with Natsu, Happy?"
He started to giggle. "Because you llliiiiikkkee Natsu."
It gave me a startling shock for the first time, and I didn't know what to say. "I. I. Um. Just never mind." I don't really know what to say at all. I mean, I do like Natsu, I guess, but not in that way. I don't think. Not now at least.
"You didn't deny it Lucy. So does that mean it is true? Lucy likes Natsu, Lucy likes Natsu." He kept going until something inside me just burst.
"Would you just shut it Cat!" Shesh. When you think a cat is upset... just comfort him a little. Not a lot. Happy had stopped by then with his teasing, but I could still hear his snickering and my heart beat.
I turned around, with my stuff mostly packed. "Ok, Natsu. You ready to go. I just need to pack a couple more things, and I will be ready. We just need to go by my house to grab those couple more things." I smiled and ignored the whispering in the background, which was surely gossip about some thing I hadn't heard about.
"Yeah. Lets go." Wow. I said as I looked at Natsu's big bag. His bag is huge. Not even close to as big as Erza's though, the last time we went together. Boy, was hers HUGE.
I looked over to the crowd, when I noticed something. Gray and Juvia look like they are happy. Juvia doesn't look like she is obsessing over him, but instead, they are like a normal couple. How sweet.
Swinging my bag around to where it settled on my back I looked at everyone and ready to say goodbye for now. "Bye, Bye, everyone. See you soon!"
Natsu said his goodbyes as well. Including giving Happy a gentle hug. "Bye! I'll catch you later!" Natsu is so nice. He calmed down Happy in such a way, that sadly, I couldn't.
We started walking down the road to my house first. "Natsu." I began. "Do you want to stop by the restaurant before we go." I knew his answer. Natsu is such a pig, but it was one of the qualities that I have always liked about him. He is so childish in his own way.
He gave me an almost immediate answer. "Yeah! I really am hungry, explicitly scene we will not being able to able to eat proper food for a while." I agreed with him.
Before going to the restaurant, though, we had to stop by my place. "I am going to go grab my stuff. Wait here." I ran up the stairs to see that something was off.
The door. It's fixed. I looked down at the door handle to see that there was a note on it. Oh, no. Probably the landlady, nagging me about how in the world I did this.
I grabbed it and read it.
Dear Heartfilia,
As you expected, this is your landlady. I am going to only do this once, ok. It's only because it is so close to your birthday. Also, let me guess. This is your boyfriends fault. You know, the one with the pink heart and the scaly scarf. He told me he was sorry, and he tried to pay for the damage. I didn't accept it though. I just said that I would fix it myself. You are a lucky girl to have such a nice landlady and a good boyfriend. I hope you like the early birthday present. It is on your bed when you enter. Make sure your that he is more careful next time, ok. Happy Birthday, Lucy.
Sign,
Your lovely Landlady
I felt shocked as I read it. One, I completely forgot my birthday was coming up. Two, Natsu isn't my boyfriend! Three, Natsu tried to pay for the damage. And Four, Wow. I was really was lucky to get someone like her.
Walking in the door, I looked around. When I say Natsu extra cloths on my dresser, I remembered that nights occurence again. I completely forgot that Natsu had kissed me. Why do I keep forgetting these things.
Then I saw the bucket on the ground and the pillow's feathers everywhere. "Wow. We did make a mess." I whispered to myself.
"Yeah, you're right." I turned around, to see that it was only Natsu.
"Don't scare me like that. I told you to stay downstairs, didn't I?" As I said that, He leaned against the wall.
He looked upset. "But you were taking long and I got bored." Oh, Natsu. You are so silly. "Hey, what's that." At first I thought he was pointing at my not and I freaked out a little, but then I re-looked at where his finger was going, and noticed that he was pointing at the wrapped box on my bed.
"Well." I began. I didn't really want to say, but he did ask. " The landlady gave me an early birthday present."
"Do you know what is in it yet? Have you opened it?" He looked very ceriously at the box.
Those are the same questions basicly, but I will still answer it. "Well I haven't opened it yet. You can watch me if you want."
"Sure." He smiled and we both walked over to the bed, both sitting down next to the present.
"Ok, here I go." I grabbed the box and opened it up slowly. Upon opening it I found a beautiful kimono that looked as if it was made with very fine cloth, and a book.
I grabbed the book as I read the cover. Natsu can't see this! This is my story that I sent in! What is it doing in hardcover!
A piece of paper dropped out of the book. "Whats this."I grabbed it and looked at it. It was a small note from the landlady. 'I sent your story in to get it made as a hardcover book. Hope you don't mind. They say that they loved the story this far and wished they could publish it when it
s and done.
"What does it say, Luce." Natsu's voice reminded me he was there.
"Oh, nothing in particular. All it says is happy Birthday. This is one of my favorite books she got me, so I don't feel like sharing. Sorry." He just looked at me and laughed.
He then got up. "Well you should take this stuff with you, and grab your other things. We need to hurry if we want to make it there sooner." I laughed a bit and started grabbing my things.
There. I thought as I grabbed the last thing. I have everything. I was just about to turn around when I noticed something.
What is that under the bed? I grabbed it and noticed it was Happy's green bag he always carries around. I wonder how this got here.
I then remembered when I screamed at him and he fell off the bed. Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. I wonder, though. What does he keep in his bag?
I opened the bag, knowing good and well that it wasn't good to intrude. I pulled out some things that were in that bag. There all...pictures of our team when we went on missions.
I looked at them. The first day at the guild when I got my guild mark. Going to the tower that Jellal had built. The time Juvia and Gray joined their powers together. Even one of the many times that Erza was outraged because her first, first picnic was destroyed. It is all here.
Tears of joy and sadness began to overflow. I don't understand how he got all these, but I hope he doesn't' mind me taking these with me.
I went to put them away and found a tiny camera inside. I guess...I will take some pictures for you happy. OK? It was as if I could feel his presence there. I wiped my tears aside and put it in my bag.
"Let's go Natsu." I have a feeling this is going to be another beginning another great adventure to add to my story.
We grabbed our stuff, closed the door, and went towards the nearest restaurant. Natsu stuffed himself like usual, and as he ate, I secretly took a picture of him. Another one for the scrapbook.
I ,however, didn't eat much at all. I just wasn't that hungry at that point. Natsu kept saying 'you need to eat.' and 'It's good stuff, come on Luce' to try to get me to eat more, but in the end I only ate a couple bowls of udon.
I paid the cashier (also giving him a tremendous tip, for having to clean up Natsu's pile of a mess.) and we left out the door towards the train station.
Here we go. Off on a new adventure. I thought to myself as we ran to stop the train, because it was just about to leave. Finally after chasing after it for maybe a couple of minutes, we were able to get on.
I sat down in my seat, ready for it to go to the town that had the person who requested for the mission.
HeorieOtaku: Hio! Just thought I may say hi. Doing very well, actually. Just finished two chapters in one day (sort of). Anyways, I am tiered. If you don't hear from me anymore today, it is because I slept in. Otherwise, if you do, it means I pulled an all-nighter. Bye,Bye.
