They got back to their apartment where they changed and got into bed. She laid against his chest when she asked "do you think this could be it Natsu?. My chance?" "It's very possible. I'll be cheering either way" "I know, thanks Natsu" she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep. The next morning was active and busy as they got up and rushed around the apartment getting ready. "Let's go Lucy, you don't wanna be late" "Coming!" she yelled running past him as he locked the door with a grin and smoothly got into his car. "Breathe Luce, you got this baby" he took her hand and kissed it then held it. Once they got to the arena, they jumped out as the stage directory said "your on in two" "Here we go" she thought anxious. "Remember to breathe and break a leg Lucy" he said giving her a quick peck on her cheek then went into the crowd. She got onto the stage. "Whew ,okay Lucy remember what Natsu said, breathe. You got this ,alright, go!" she told herself as she walked out while the curtains were pulled.
"GIVE IT UP FOR YOUR OWN LUCY HEARTFILIA EVERYONE!" screamed the announcer. Everyone cheered making her smile but her attention was focused on a salmon haired individual who was whistling as loud as he could. "Thanks everyone, this means alot. Alright who wants to hear me sing?" Everyone cheered in response as she sang. When she was done, she ran backstage and started chugging a bottle of water when two people in business suits came up to her. "Nice job Ms. Heartfilia" "Thank you, umm, who are you?" "We are part of a record label and wondered if you might be interested, you have some real talent" "Are you serious?!" she questioned as the lady handed her a card. "Yes ma'am" she answered with a smile. "YES. I'll do it" "Excellent. we will be in touch. My advice, start packing" Then she with her partner walked away as Lucy tried to contain her composure walking out of the arena and to the parking lot where Natsu was waiting leaned against the car smiling. "Hey , there you are..you okay Luce?" he asked seeing a weird expression on her face. "Luce?" "Ummm..yeahh..I made it" "Huh?. Luce your mumbling" " I DID IT NATSU! I GOT MY BREAK, AN AGENT JUST SAID SHE WANTED ME!" it took him a second to register what she said but he held his arms out as she came running. He picked her up and spun her around in the air. "That's wonderful baby. I'm so happy for you."
As he put her down, he opened her door and let her inside then rushed to the other side of the car. "Time to celebrate" he announced taking off down the road. "Pick wherever you want to go Luce." She thought about as she told him and had him zooming down the road. Once they got there, Natsu opened her door like a gentlemen and held his hand out. "You spoil me Dragneel" "You deserve it. come on let's go inside" he said loving as he escorted her into the restaurant. Once they ordered everything, Lucy felt like she was in heaven. "Thing's can't get anymore perfect then this" she thought happily. "Luce, you there?" "Huh?" "You were spacing" he said amused. "Sorry" "No need to be sorry. I'm really happy for you baby. Say let's finish up here and I'll give you more of an reward." Her cheeks went red as she stuttered "Yyouuu mmmean?" He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Check please" said Natsu as the waiter came and took Natsu's card while he looked at the ticket. "Do I even get to see?" she asked already knowing the answer.
"Nope" Natsu answered with a smirk crumbling up the receipt. He said thank you to the waiter and escorted Lucy out. "Thank you for everything Natsu" "of course Luce, not every day your dream comes true" "Not just that, thank you for being my best friend in high school..and for now..for giving up your life to stay with me." Her cheeks turned pink as she looked at him. "Lucy, you didn't make me give up anything. The day we met in high school, my life changed for the better. I realized who my real friends were and I got the best friend of a lifetime, oh we're here." He quickly got out of the car as Lucy got out on her side. He picked her up bridal style making Lucy giggle. "What are you doing Natsu?" "Time to celebrate me. Woooh!" They laughed entering their apartment where Natsu carried her to their room and placed her onto the bed. "Now for the best gift of all, hehe" he smirked turning off their light.
