II -Enchanted to Meet You
"Y-you mean Natsu?" Lucy asked again. Feeling very dumbfounded.
"Yes!" Juvia smiled like she just got a eureka moment.
"THE Natsu Dragneel?" asking again, still not believing it.
"Lucy-san are you okay? Yes, there's only one Natsu. You know who I'm talking about right? Well, if you think about it they have the same last name. Juvia thought it's just a stage name. I mean-" Juvia keeps on talking but the girl she was talking to had been in a trance at the moment.
Lucy's past came flooding back to her memory like a river bank. Little did anyone know, she was obsessed with Natsu Dragneel when she was a teenager. Not that she would ever admit it, since it was not a good memory. The only person who knew that was Levy; and she will never, ever tell anyone about it.
Natsu Dragneel. 27 years old. A solo artist who's been making ruckus on the music industry for ten years now since he first debuted. Likes to play with fire, figuratively and literally. Still the number 1 artist that could cause a commotion whenever he's involved. Known to be reckless and most of all, a playboy as what the news always shows. All concert that he made is always full house since he seldom does it; that remains a mystery as well. It seems that these two brothers do know how to hold secrets.
"-and they don't really look alike. Lucy-san?" Juvia waved to her face as Lucy began to go back in the real world.
"H-huh? Ahh yeah. How did Gajeel know about that?"
Juvia spoke "Well, they are pretty close. Since Gajeel joins Natsu-san on tours and they go hang out at times too, drinking. I think a week back Natsu-san was really drunk that he just blurted out to Gajeel that he has a brother since Zeref-san called him."
They talked before his disappearance?
"Did Natsu say anything to Gajeel about them as being brothers?"
"Hmm. He actually didn't hear about the details but something about Natsu going to kill his brother when they see each other?" Juvia thought.
"K-kill him? Why would he do that to his own brother?! D-did he?" She asked feeling flabbergasted.
"Eehhh Juvia think he's just kidding Lucy-san! And also, don't ever tell Gajeel about me saying this to you okay?" She whispered to the blond girl.
Lucy sweat dropped. She wouldn't be able to since they don't really know each other.
"Why did you help me though? This is a top information you know. Unless you're plotting something behind my back?" She inquired, getting scared about what the other girl is scheming. Surely there was some hidden message as to why she's being helped by the one who calls her love rival right?
"N-no reason! Juvia just wants to help you Lucy-san!" she said smiling looking suspicious by the second.
"Juvia got to hurry though. I think I'm being called. Just talked to Natsu-san's manager if you want to talk to him. Bye!" She said hurriedly, trying to avoid being questioned.
There's definitely something suspicious about this. Oh well, as long as I'm saved who cares!
Lucy thought while trying to think of ways to get a hold of Natsu since he's very hard to interview.
In a distance, Juvia Lockser is now laughing at her brilliant plan.
If Lucy just fall for Natsu, then there will be less love rival to Gray-sama.
"Hohoho!" she laughed, feeling like a genius for thinking of her idea.
Natsu was known from stealing girl's hearts once he serenaded them. That was the reason why he had so many scandals about having a lot of girlfriends. That was the brilliant idea of the blue haired weather girl.
Of course, not knowing the true nature of Natsu Dragneel.
The sound of the television rang from the living room of Lucy. Sitting at her couch, she swirled her wine glass thinking of the busy day she had, yet again.
*Mr. Dragneel, can we interview you? Did you really have a new girlfriend? The one you rescued from guys at the bar?* the reporter pushed her way through just to reach the pink haired man.
*Huh? Yeah call it like that. Now I got to go somewhere if you'll excuse me* the pink haired man walked as if nothing happened.
*This is our exclusive video of Natsu Dragneel, the hottest and still the number 1 singer in all of Earthland admitting that he has another girlfriend just after he broke up with his previous one this month!* the anchor said while showing an amateur video of Natsu defending a person at a bar.
*Earlier this week, Mr. Dragneel was seen with Gajeel Redfox hanging out at a bar near Magnolia when this happened. As seen from the video by one the loca-* the doorbell rang distracting Lucy from what she's watching. She stood up from the sofa and started going through her door, seeing a blue haired girl.
"Lu-chan! Let's have a sleepover!" A grinning Levy greet her holding a wine bottle on her hand.
"Levy! You surprised me! I thought you're busy?" she hugged her, welcoming the blunette inside.
"You're busier than I am Lu-chan. Besides, you need to unwind, and I'm here to help you with that. My work can wait until tomorrow." she said blinking to her best friend.
"Aww Levy. Thank you!" Lucy said smiling while tearing up a little bit from her bestfriend's thoughtfulness.
They drank and chatted while watching the news.
"Hey Lu-chan... I got a favor to ask you though." the blue haired girl said to her.
"Yeah?"
"I-if.. just when you go to Natsu.." she fidget in her seat, hesitating if she will say what she wanted to say.
"Come on Levy. Don't keep me hanging here." Lucy said eagerly waiting for her request.
"You know… I-if-you-see-Gajeel-can-you-asked-for-his-autograph?!" she spoke fast not breathing while saying it. Levy is now turning tomato over what she asked for Lucy.
Lucy smiled at seeing her friend. Levy was a fan of Gajeel for a long time now. She goes to his concerts and a very dedicated fan. She can assume that this girl is his number one fan.
"Levy, why don't you just asked Juvia for his number? They know each other, you know." she teased her.
"Lucy! You know I'm not that bold!" she shouted, trying to hide her face burning in embarrassment.
"Ehh. I know you wanted to Levy!" she teased her some more.
"Lucy!" she squealed as they both laugh and gush over Levy's crush.
*Erza-san, as Natsu's manager, do you have any comment on what he just told us a while ago?*
A red haired woman appeared on the television screen. She is Natsu's manager, Erza Scarlet. She has been handling his career since he debuted.
*Sorry but I cannot answer you at the moment as I haven't spoken to Natsu yet. I'll inform you all once I've resolved this issue.* the woman said trying to avoid the camera as much as possible.
*Cameras are not allowed in here. If you don't want me to crush them, stop this instant.* she said looking devilish in the screen.
"Erza-san is really scary doesn't she? No wonder she's Natsu's manager. I don't think anyone can be his manager." Levy said, awed by the red haired woman.
"Yeah. I'm here on this room but I could feel her fury from the television." Lucy said touching her tingling arms.
"Speaking of, how did it go with interviewing Natsu-san? Were you able to book an exclusive?" She asked looking at her.
Lucy looking lost sighed.
"Levy... I can't get an interview because he had so many scandals lately! I've been trying to go to every place he goes to but I couldn't even see his shadow." she cried drowning herself in alcohol, feeling defeated.
She abruptly stood up with her hand held high holding the now almost empty bottle wine Levy bought.
"But tomorrow! I will definitely be able to have an interview with him! Mark my word!" she shouted feeling very tipsy from all the alcohol.
"Ahhh Lu-chan. This is why I brought wine, for you to be energized." Levy sweatdropped.
The now tipsy blond pointed her finger at Natsu still being interviewed on screen.
"I will crush you tomorrow, Natsu! HAHAH-" then Lucy tumbled to her sofa falling asleep.
"What crush him? Lu-chan you didn't even left me any drink!" Levy chan pouted.
Lucy thinks this is not real. How is it so easy to spot the guy she's been looking for four days in a parking lot near her house?
But there he was walking without any flaw like Adonis, going to where she's standing. She still can't believe that even after 10 years, he still looks perfect. The guy of her dreams was standing in front of her, looking at her... with a funny face?
"Hey do I have something on my face? Cause you've been staring at me for too long. Do... you need anything from me?" he smiled sheepishly.
Why does he look so cute?
Lucy stop your illusion!
"Am I dreaming?" she suddenly blurted.
Oh my gosh you're a freak Lucy!
He looks at her grinning. "Well I don't think I'll hear that from someone while in a parking lot out of nowhere. How do we make it real then? Should I..." he leaned in to her face. Her eyes getting bigger by the second.
I-is he trying to... kiss me?
Her head is blaring, and the clock's been alarming nonstop.
Lucy.
Who?
"Lucy! You're going to be late!" Levy shouted at her for the nth time. She really does get drunk easily.
She grumbled a ten more minutes to Levy still feeling very tired from last night's event. It was not a good idea to drink two bottles of wine, and is never a good idea when you have work the next day. That dream was adding to her headache.
How can you dream of him like that Lucy? Get a grip!
She banged her head from the pillow. This morning is not going to be good.
"-ucy. Lucy..! You can't do this anymore you're really very late!" Levy said flaring her arms.
"Levy.. What's the hurry?" she asked. Then remembered she has to catch Natsu before he fly for his world tour. She abruptly checked her clock.
"Ugh! I'm late! Why didn't you say so Levyyy!" bolting from her sofa to the washroom.
"That's what I've been telling you for 20 minutes already." Levy complained.
Lucy hurriedly got dressed and brushed her teeth.
"I'll see you later Levy! Thanks for the food!" she run going to the door.
"But you haven't eaten it yet! Lucy!" the blue haired girl shouted at her best friend bolting out from her door.
Lucy got on the bus checking her messages. She received an email last night about her colleague that had taken hold of Natsu's schedule for the day. If she wouldn't be able to catch him now, she will have a harder time locating him since he's going to be busier.
Seeing her stop, she pushed out of all the people, running now. This has been her everyday occurrence since chasing Natsu is like an everyday marathon.
Turning in a corner she saw from a distant some reporters clustering in a black maserati car. The car's door opened revealing a pink haired man, wearing his signature scarf and a pink sunglasses. Even from afar you'd know who the person is, as there can only be one person that has that natural pink salmon hair.
"Natsu san! Can we interview you for a bit?"
"Is it true that you have a new girlfriend?"
"Where did you meet?"
"Why did you suddenly want to go do a tour?"
Lucy bolting from the spot she was standing, then tried to push out of everyone's way but then she felt her stomach churning, feeling the alcohol kicking in last night. She, feeling dizzy still looked for her target. Natsu was on his way to their company headquarters, stepping on the stairs now.
If I can't make it today again, I'll be dead! Come on Lucy!
Gathering all her strength she pushed every person in front of her just to reach the guy she's been looking for quite a while now.
At last she was able to see the light. But then she felt the dizziness taking over as her hand reached for the person at the front, taking him down with her. She screwed up big time again. Groaning in pain and embarrassment, she tried to look at the person she stumbled on.
She just trampled over Natsu Dragneel.
This is one of the dumbest things she had done in her life.
To all the celestial spirits, kill me now please!
