Summary: Loosely based on Peter Pan. Lucy tries to trick Natsu with a thimble.

Pairings: Natsu/Lucy and lots and lots of general friendship feels.

Author's Note: For that guest reviewer who kept asking for Peter Pan…..I give you something loosely based on some of my favourite moments. Also, many thanks for giving me over SIXTY SEVEN HUNDRED reviews!

It was all boy's afternoon at the guild - well, sort of, Mirajane was tending the bar, and the girls were only just outside by the swimming pool – and they had been in a middle of playing a secret game of dares (because if Master found out, they would all get a royal bollocking) when Bickslow mischievously dared Natsu to go out and get Lucy to kiss him.

Natsu accepted with his usual reckless confidence while Bickslow rubbed his hands evilly and the others grinned maliciously, all looking forwards to seeing Natsu fly back in through the window as Lucy gives him the biggest Lucy Kick of his life.

Unexpectedly though, he burst through the doors, on his own, with a massive, triumphant, grin on his face. "LOOK! LOOK!" he bellowed as he waved his arm round like a maniac. "LUCY HAS GIVEN ME A KISS!"

Freed choked on his drink while Gajeel and Gray both spat theirs out, Macao dropped his, Wakaba almost choked on his pipe, Droy actually did choke on his sandwich, Happy's jaw dropped, and everyone else stared at Natsu gormlessly.

Apart from Mirajane who clapped her hands and squealed excitedly. "Lucy did?!" she cried out ecstatically. "Did you like it?"

"Eh," Natsu shrugged as he looked into his hand, "it's all right. I don't see what the big fuss is about."

Nearly everyone collapsed at that. It was all right?! He didn't see what all the fuss is about?! Was Natsu retarded or something, one of the most attractive girls in the guild had just kissed him, and he thought it was only all right?!

"Oh," Mira said disappointedly, "so you wouldn't kiss Lucy again?"

"Why would I want another one when I already have one?" Natsu tilted his head in confusion. "Unless it comes in a different colour and looks cooler than this one, then maybe I'll ask for another."

"….A different colour?" Mira repeated in confusion.

"Looks cooler?!" Freed questioned.

"Yeah, it looks really boring, and it's just plan silver," Natsu looked into the palm of his hand, "Lucy summoned Virgo to fetch it for me all the way from the celestial world, and I still don't get what's the big fuss."

"Natsu," Gray frowned, "are you sure you kissed Lucy? Because it's starting to sound a lot like that you haven't."

"Are you saying I'm a liar, snowflake?" Natsu growled.

"No," Gray said coldly, "I'm saying you're a fucking moron, ash brain."

"Well I'm not," Natsu said indignantly, "because Lucy gave me this shiny kiss!"

Natsu then proudly held up a small, silver, and very shiny…..thimble.

Half of the room instantly collapsed out of the sheer stupidity of it, Gajeel face palmed, Mira banged her head against the bar, and Gray looked like he was going to suffer a brain aneurism caused by Natsu's sheer stupidity.

"Natsu, you moron!" Gray yelped. "That's not a Ki-hmmph!"

Gray was instantly interrupted by Mira who leaped over the bar, jumped his back, and covered his mouth with her hands. "Very nice, Natsu," Mira said sweetly as if she wasn't gagging Gray with her hand, "now why don't you go and ask Lucy for a thimble?"

"Okay," Natsu shrugged. "You know," he said as he left the building, "you guys really need to work on your dares. They all suck."

Mira waited the total of five seconds before she hurriedly followed out to see events unfold. After a couple seconds of glancing at one another, all the boys decided they had nothing better to do than see Natsu make an arse out of himself, and they too followed.

"Hey Luce!" Natsu yelled as he raced up to Lucy. She laid on a sunbed in her usual white and pink bikini and a pair of sunglasses as she tried to read a book. With an exasperated sigh, she closed her book, lowered her glasses, and glared pointedly at Natsu. Natsu seemed oblivious to her irritation as he grinned down at her. "Mira wanted me to ask you for a thimble."

"What are you talking about?" Lucy snapped impatiently. "I've already given you a thimble, you're hold…..shit."

It took seven seconds for Lucy's words to truly sink into Natsu's brain, and it instantly clicked that he had been tricked before when he asked for a kiss earlier (hey! He was a prankster himself, he would spot a trick when he sees one) and instantly looked heartbroken.

"You didn't give me a real kiss?!" he whined. "Why didn't you give me a real kiss?!"

"Because I didn't want to!" Lucy yelled, her pink cheeks betraying the opposite, "And you shouldn't ask for one like that! It's inappropriate."

"You cheated me out of a kiss and made me look like an idiot in front of the guys!"

"What else is new?"

"Gimme a real kiss!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

And at that Natsu lunged for Lucy, who barely rolled away in time, and crashed onto the sunbed. He struggled to get back onto his feet, which gave Lucy a few seconds head start, before he was able to chase her round the swimming pool.

"I SAID GIVE ME A KISS DAMNIT!"

Unfortunately for Natsu hat was not the correct thing to do in front of Erza and it quickly turned into a bloodbath in the defence of Lucy's virtue.

Strangely enough all boys' afternoon ended very quickly after that.
