WHEN WE WERE KIDS

CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT

"Come on, everyone, quick march!" Erza commanded us, as we were just waking up. I wasn't all there, and yawned, while everything came back to me.

Natsu.

Loves.

Me.

Kissing.

Moonlight.

Wow.

"Ah!" I exclaimed, as everything came crashing down at once.

"What?" Levy asked, as she was sleeping next to me.

"N-nothing!" I said. "I was just in the middle of a-a d-dream." I said.

"Okay, well come on, were going shopping today!" She said, packing her stuff. Since it was the prom in four days, we had to get dresses. I looked across the fire, where the boys were sleeping, and Erza was walking over there, ready to shout the same thing.

"Come on! Boys! Awake!" She yelled. They all jumped up, Gray jerked up into an upright position, and yelled "Cheesecake!"

Everyone looked at him, as he slowly became aware that he wasn't dreaming about...cheesecake...anymore.

"Okaaaayyyy, anyway, let's go." Cana said, packing her stuff up.

"Hold on, Natsu's not waking up again. Gray?" Erza said.

"Sure." He replied, and walked over to where he was sleeping, before kicking him awake.

"Gah! Gray you bastard! Let's fight! I'll-oooohhhhh..." Natsu said, as he woke up propely, I guessed he was having the same remembering moment as me.

"Pack." Erza said, and went back to her neatly packed bag. Natsu looked over at me from the campfire, and smiled, as did I, probably blushing.

We left the clearing, at a quick march led by Erza. Levy was sticking to me, chatting about what dress she wanted to buy for the dance, and what colour would suit her, what cut would suit me...which meant I couldn't speak to Natsu, but when we could, we exchanged smiles. While half listening to Levy, my mind always veered off to last night, the cabin, the feel of his skin against mine, the kisses, the breathing, the heartbeats, the-

"Lu-chan, are you listening?" She asked, making me snap out of my daydream.

"Uh, yes, sorry." I said.

"Honestly, it's like the forest changed you." She said. I heard Natsu laughing some meters behind us.

"Yeah, she's been in the clouds all morning." Mira said.

"Probably drunk." Cana said.

"I'm not! Besides, I'm just still tired from yesterday, long night..." I said.

"Yeah, all that singing..." Erza said.

"You didn't do any..." Juvia sighed.

"Nearly home, come on." Natsu said, walking to the front of the group. As he passed me, he whispered something in my ear discretely.

"I'll be in your room." He said.

"Okay." I whispered back, laughing and smiling.

We got home in time for lunch, said our goodbyes, and walked off to our houses. Cana was with Natsu and me.

"So, you two." She said.

"What about us two?" I said.

"Did you make out last night or what?"

"Yes." Natsu said.

"Natsu!" I said, elbowing him.

"Meh, don't worry, it'll get even better, trust me." She said, laughing and mainly speaking to me.

"Tsch... You are such a-" I started scolding Natsu.

"Lovable boyfriend?" He said, putting his arm around my shoulders.

"Boyfriend...you're my boyfriend..." I said, letting it sink in.

"Didn't you notice after last night? Sheesh, Lucy..." he said, staring confused at me.

"You're my boyfriend! Natsu Dragneel is my boyfriend! My boyfriend!" I said, taking his hands and jumping about. His expression changed.

"And Lucy Heartfilia is my girlfriend! Lucy Heartfilia is my girlfriend! Mine!" He said, jumping up and down with me. I hugged him, and he hugged me.

"God, you're crazy aren't you?" Cana said. "Anyway, I'll leave you to it, see you later today, Lucy, remember it's the play tommorow."

"Sure, bye!" I said, after having stopped jumping.

"I'll see you in two seconds." Natsu said, running off to his house. I smiled, and walked to mine, entered, closed the door behind me, and leant against it, smiling.

"Lulu? Are you home?" Obba asked.

"Yes! How have you been?" I asked.

"Fine, was it nice?" She said, coming out from the kitchen with an apron on.

"It was excellent! I'll just be unpacking in my room." I said, rushing off to it. I opened my door, and found Natsu, lying on my bed.

"Yo." He said.

"I saw you thirty seconds ago, and you're saying hello?" I said.

"I'm saying hello as your official boyfriend." He said, getting up, and bowing, as I laughed.

"Should we tell them?" I asked.

"Let them guess." He said.

"Okay, by the way, last night was probably my faviroute night of all." I said, feeling my cheeks go slightly pink.

"It was mine too, thanks. I will remember that cabin." He said, laughing. I sat on my bed, he sat next to me.

"Are you going to the school dance?" I asked him.

"Are you?" He said.

"Yes."

"Then I am too." He answered, and kissed me, I kissed him back. It was with tongues. Once again, I mentaly praised him for being such an excellent kisser. He placed his hand on my waist, pulling me closer to him.

"Lulu, do you need-Well well well..." I heard Obba say, as she opened the door to my room, interupting our kissing, we broke apart, and blushed.

"Um-t-that wasn't-" I stuttered

"Y-yeah, we were just..." Natsu tried to find an excuse. "Not kissing?" He tried. Obba laughed.

"It's fine you two, just warn me next time a boy is in your room, Lulu. And do you have any washing? Forget it, I'll ask you later." She said, still laughing, and closed the door, only to re-open it. "No coming in here after six p.m.!" She said to Natsu, and then closed the door again, this time propely.

"That was really embarassing, and what kind of an excuse in 'not kisssing?'" I said, laughing.

"Whatever." He said back, and kissed me more.

"Come on, of you go, I need to meet the girls in town, I'll see you later." I said, finalty tearing myself away from him.

"When's later?" He said. I laughed.

"Go." I said sternly. He went to the window, and jumped out. I got my stuff and changed my clothes quickly, before taking off.

"See you later, Obba, I'm off to town for a dress!" I said, rushing out.

"Okay, but Lucy?" She said.

"Yes?"

"You love Natsu?" She asked. She seemed...worried.

"Yes, a lot, more than I can say, actually." I said, truthfully.

"And he loves you?" She asked.

"Well, I hope so!" I said, laughing. She smiled.

"Remember that." She said. I nodded, and walked out, to Cana's house. We walked down to town, where we were meeting some girls.

I saw Erza first, because she was on top of Mira, fighting her.

"Lucy and Cana are here." She said, and got up.

"Lucy...new girl? The one that's always with Natsu?"A girl who had her back to me asked.

"Yes. Evergreen, right?" I said.

"Right in one." She said, and turned around to acknowledge me.

"Ever's going to choose our dresses, when you need a stylist, she the best you can get." Erza told me. The other girls there were Levy, Lisanna, and Bisca.

"You're going to choose a dress for all of us?" I asked, surprised.

"Yes, everyone needs to be perfect." She said re-adgusting her glasses.

"She's also one of the organizers, along with Bickslow, Freed, and Laxus." Erza informed me.

"Oh..." I said, still didn't explain anything.

"So, I know this really good shop, let's go!" She said, and led us away. Levy walked next to me, she seemed to be deep in thought.

"Levy-chan? What's up?" I asked her, she sighed.

"I don't know, but I do know..." she sighed.

"That doesn't really help me help you." I answered.

"I don't know what you mean."

"I guess we're both not making any sense." I said, we laughed.

"Howdy, Lucy, I met you quickly, but I haven't had a lot of time to chat with you, so, why do you stay with Natsu all the time?" Bisca asked, as she put her arm around my shoulder.

"It's because she liiiiiikes him!" A voice said behind us, everyone turned around.

"Felicia?!" I said. She had changed. For one, she wasn't wearing her shcool uniform anymore, and she was actually smiling. Also, her fringe was cut off, just leaving a strand of hair that hung over her left eye.

"We don't see you at school anymore." Bisca said.

"It's normal, I left." She said.

"Why?" Everyone asked.

"This." She said, and took her shirt off, revealing the cut out back of her t-shirt, and a green mark.

"Is that-"

"Fairy Tail?! You're a wizard?!" Evergreen said.

"Yes. I'm taking Lucy off you. Only for a second." She said.

"Um..okay." I said, and she dragged me away. Once we were sitting on a bench, she spoke.

"So." She said.

"So?" I asked.

"I thought you were becoming a wizard of Fairy Tail? You have magic, after all, you shouldn't be allowed to use it at school." She said. I sighed.

"I'll tell you if you tell me." I said.

"Tell you what?"

"What the deal with the black wings turning white, that woman Tristan turned into... all about that. You're super mysterious, Felicia." I said. She nodded.

"Fine. My magic, Aera, is wings. The wings represent ones soul. I had a secret that turned my soul black." She said.

"What was that?"

"My mother was part of a movement, something about a wizard called Zeref, and was devoted to it. I was born, and was brain washed with stuff about finding Zeref, and eliminating all powerless wizards to ensure that the world he will create will be powerfull. When I was ten, I had already killed people." She said. I felt a sudden chill run over my spine. "But then, I was sent to kill a man who I discovered was my father. He made me realise that there was a different world out there, not just Zeref, so I ran away, but my mother came after me, and I killed her, with my wings. I pushed her off a cliff with them." She said. She fiddled with her thumb nail. "I hadn't used my wings since that day I fought Tristan. And thanks to that, I was able to face my wings, and my soul turned white again, not black. It's thanks to you, Lucy." She said, and smiled at me. There was a pause.

"Well that was dramatic." Was all I coudl say. She laughed.

"I suppose, but, you know..."

"Why did you do those breathing things in the gym?"

"Meditation. It helps."

"Okay. I didn't realise you had such a sad past..." I said.

"Whatever, it's the past."

"Seriously, being brainwashed into killing people, and then your father!"

"I said whatever, it's in the past. Now tell me why you're lying. You have magic, but you're staying at school. You know, they have lessons at Fairy Tail."

"Yeah, yeah, but my friends are at Fairy High. I learn my magic in secret."

"You know, we could team up if you joined." She said. I felt guilty. "But I understand, after all, you and Natsu..." she laughed.

"We're just fr-"

"Don't even try, I know you like him, oh, speak of the devil." She said, and then, someone covered my eyes.

"Who is it?" They said.

"Please, I could recognise your voice anywhere, Natsu." I said. He laughed, and sat down next to me.

"Yo, Felicia, why don't we see you in school anymore?" He asked her.

"I'm a mage of Fairy Tail, now, and Lucy liiiiiiiikes you." She said, laughing.

"Yeah, I know, but what's all the stuff ab-" He said, being stupid once again.

"Hold on, you know?!" She said.

"Oops, I just let that slip." He said. "Yeah, we're in a relationship."

"Well, the next disciplinary student will have some trouble keeping an eye on you two." She sighed.

"Your name, it means happy, right?" I said.

"Yes. So?"

"Are you?" I asked. She smiled.

"Yes. But I wanted to tell you something. I'm off on a job, and I'll be gone a long time, so I wanted to say thanks." She told me. I smiled.

"Goodbye, Felicia." I said.

"Bye, Lucy."

"I'll just sit here, like nobody knows me..." Natsu sighed.

"See you, Natsu, my life will be a lot simpler without having to drag you to the headmaster's office." She laughed. She got up, and walked away.

"What are you doing here?" I asked Natsu.

"Boys can go shopping too, you know. Besides, I need a suit for the prom type thing." He said, sighing.

"Very nice..." I laughed.

"Who are you going to dance with?" He asked, ignoring my teasing.

"Gray." I said. He snapped his head up, and looked angry. "Joke. You." I said, kissed his cheek, and walked off to the shop.

"Where were you?" Evergreen asked me when I arriced, as she handed Erza a dress.

"Sorry, Felicia spoke to me, then I bumped into Natsu."I said.

"Okay. Alright, you have blond hair, brown eyes, shapey figure..." She said, looking at me. "Nice legs" She added. I felt flattered, but self conscious. She looked through the racks, and picked out a floaty, ligt blue dress. It was knee high, and had a navy blue ribbon around the waist.

"Try this on." She said. I nodded, and went in to the changing rooms. When I looked at the mirror, I was impressed with Evergreen's choice. I knew I was immodest, and I tried not to be, but I couldn't help thinking that I looked good in it.

"Lucy, are you done?" I heard Levy ask, I opened the curtain. Levy was in a small orange dress, that was made of silk, and made her look cute and childish, it suited her a lot.

"You look nice! Gajeel will be happy." I laughed.

"That dress suits you too!" She said. Evergreen walked over towards us, and put her head to the side, examining us.

"Erza! Come and see what a good stylist I am!" She said. Erza walked over, she was in a short, black dress that showed off her shapes.

"I must admit, I would of never dared orange on Levy, and a gentle colour on Lucy..." She commented. Why did she sound so surprised when she said 'gentle'?!

"I think it gives an edge to Levy's hair, and as for Lucy, it brings out her eyes." She said. Levy and I just stood there awkwardly.

"What about this?" Cana said, as she walked out of the changing rooms. She had a purple and black lacy dress, that came down to her knees.

"Wow..." We all said.

"And me?" Bisca asked, as she walked out in a maroon strapless.

"Amazing... We all said again.

"This?" Lisanna asked, as she came out in a bright pink coktail dress.

"If you say something in unison one more time, I will have to kill you." Evergreen said.

"Look! We match!" Mira said, as she walked out in a long bright pink ball gown, her hair was down, and her gaze was soft, we sighed in amazment.

"Sighing counts!" Evergreen shouted.

The day passed by, and we walked home with our dresses. I took a long shower, and conditioned my hair, for once. The bathroom was all steamy due to the amount of hot water I had used, but it had worked it's magic. I felt completely relaxed.. I put my dressing gown on, and walked into my room. I picked up my pyjamas, and I about to unwrap my dressing gown, when I heard someone cat call. I jumped, and turned around to where it had come from. Natsu was hiding behind the door, so I wouldn't see him when I walked in. I blushed, and looked at him angrily, trying to find something that would cover me more.

"What on earth do you think you're doing! My curtains were closed!" I fumed. He laughed.

"I break rules, it's not my fault."

"Get out! I'm in my dressing gown, for crying out loud!" I shouted.

"I know, I can see that." He said, grinning coyly, I gasped in anger.

"I swear..." I said.

"What? You are still just as beautifull in a dressing gown." He said. I crossed my arms.

"The cheek of you..." I said, but sat on my bed, he sat next to me.

"Did you buy a dress?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Let's see?"

"Surprise surprise!" I said, playfully poking his cheek.

"Right!" He said angrily, and took my wrist, twisting it behind my back in one swift movement.

"Hey!" I said.

"Haha! You'll never beat me!" He laughed.

"Oh really...?" I asked, and used my other arm to pull down the shoulder of my dressing gown. I had my back to him, so he couldn't see the amount of chest that was showing.

"That's not fair." He said.

"Hmmm?" I asked, pushing my hair to the side, revealing more of my shoulder.

"Really not fair." He said, and let my arm go. I laughed, and pulled my dressing gown back up.

"It's the play tomorrow, do you remember your lines, Romeo?" I asked.

"I would remember them better if that dressing gown wasn't so concealing." He said, attempting to pull the shoulder down again.

"Honestly..." I laughed. "Away with you, get some rest." I said, opening my window.

"Fine, and you don't daydream about any cabins, 'kay?" He asked, kissed me, and went out of the window. I sighed, closed the curtains, and got my pyjamas on, then got into bed. That night, I slept very peacefully, no daydreams. I had the real thing.

Silver opened the door to Lucy's room, and snuk in. Lucy always had the cover pushed down to her waist, she had done since she was little. Her pyjama top was riding up, revealing the scars on her abdomen. Silver took out the blade, and held it close to the scars. And, the room was filled with a silvery blue light, as the blade and the scars shown. Silver closed her eyes in sadness. The point was proven.

"When do we tell them?" She asked Mokarov, once she was back in the kitchen. He sighed.

"After this week. At the weekend."

"I'm still not comfortable with two kids going on-"

"Tell yourself this, they've already done it, right?" He answered.

"Also, two teenagers, both in a relationship, at an inn, by themselves..."

"So? Let them for all I care, there old enough to make there own desicions."

"Okay, but still..."

"What choice do we have? If we are to stop this constant cycle, what choice do we have?" Mokarov said, sighed in anger, and left.
