Natsu returned to the guild hall with the biggest smile on his face. He couldn't believe how his day had gone. Hey could officially call Lucy Heartfelia his own.
"Hey flame breath. What has you so giddy?" Gray asked Natsu while sipping his drink.
Not even Gray could spoil Natsu's wonderful mood. "Well ice freak, I'll have you know that Lucy is now officially my girlfriend."
Hearing this made Mirajane instantly drop the dish she was wiping off. "Oh that's great news Natsu! I'm so happy for you!"
"Yes it's about time." Erza nodded in agreement. "However if you hurt her I will personally destroy you. Got it?"
Natsu's sweat dropped in fear "Yes ma'am!" he said quickly.
"Do you even know the first thing about having a girlfriend flame freak?" Gray questioned his frenemy.
"Yes!" Natsu grew defensive causing Gray to give him a very knowing look. "I mean no… Shut up will ya! You're just jealous."
Meanwhile, Juvia was listening to the whole conversation underneath the table Gray was sitting at. "Could my love really be jealous that Natsu asked out that blonde bimbo before him? Even with a boyfriend Lucy is still my love rival." Juvia began to ball her eyes out. "What if she takes them both for herself? HOW SELFISH CAN SHE BE?!"
"JUVIA?! What the heck are you doing?!" Gray said looking under the table.
"Gray-sama! Please promise me you won't let her have both of you!" Juvia jumped on gray squeezing him in a tight hug.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Gray tried to pull the obsessive girl off of him to no avail.
Natsu saw that this clearly wasn't going to come to an end any time soon and decided to turn his attention to someone else. "So what exactly do you do on a date?"
At this Levy giggled. "Take her somewhere nice Natsu. How about you call and make a reservation at a nice restaurant."
Natsu pondered this. "Okay! That sounds like a plan. Is what I'm wearing okay?" he said gesturing to his outfit.
Mira scoffed. "Of course not Natsu. Knowing Lucy, she's going to dress up. The least you could do is wear a real shirt. Oh and bring her some flowers!" Mirajane giggled.
"Got it; Restaurant, real shirt, flowers." Natsu confirmed while running out of the guild hall.
Meanwhile Lucy was getting ready for the date in her own way.
"OPEN GATE OF THE MAIDEN AND THE GIANT CRAB, VIRGO AND CANCER" Lucy summoned the two spirits while in her towel with her hair dripping wet from her shower.
"Hello princess" "Hey baby" the two spirits said at the same time.
"Is it finally punishment time?" Virgo asked monotonously.
"I like that outfit baby, but your hair could use a touch up" Said Cancer while snipping his scissors.
"Will the two of you shut up! No it is not punishment time and I'm not wearing this outfit anywhere! I need your help." Lucy said half irritated.
"For punishment?" Virgo asked again.
"NO!" Lucy tightened her towel around her bust. "I need your help getting ready for my date with Natsu. Before you say anything, no I don't want you to punish him and no I don't want you to tame his hair. Virgo, I want you to help me find the perfect outfit."
"Right away princess." With that Virgo disappeared into the celestial spirit world.
Lucy sat down at her vanity. "Cancer, I want you to style my hair. I want something along the lines of long voluminous curls please."
"Sure thing baby!" Cancer began to snip and style Lucy's usual half up half down side ponytail hairstyle.
When Cancer finished Lucy's hair it was just as she requested. He added extensions so that her hair reached her mid back and curled it so that she now had gorgeous thick voluminous curls. Finally Virgo reappeared with Lucy's outfit. She handed her a black strapless dress that stopped at her mid-thigh and a pair of black red bottom pointed heels.
"Thanks guys this is perfect!" Lucy said before closing the two spirit's gates.
Lucy slipped on the outfit that Virgo brought her and examined herself in the mirror. She felt she looked nice but something was still missing. Lucy quickly went over to her jewelry box and pulled out a silver chain necklace. This is perfect, she thought to herself.
Now that her outfit was complete, Lucy went back to her vanity and quickly applied some pink lipstick, brown eyeliner, and brown mascara.
"Hey Luce! Ready to go" Said Natsu climbing through Lucy's window.
"NATSU!" Lucy shrieked. "This is a date. Get out and try again. Use the actual DOOR this time." Lucy crossed her arms.
"Sorry, sorry!" Natsu quickly jumped out the window and went around to the front door.
Natsu approached Lucy's apartment door and knocked. Lucy answered the door with a smile, pretending that none of that just happened.
"Hey Luce! You look really nice, ready to go?" Natsu grinned widely.
Lucy smiled while examining Natsu's outfit. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a black vest, dark wash jeans and black dress shoes. "You don't look so bad yourself Natsu. Where'd you get the fancy digs?"
Natsu laughed "Gajeel."
"Of course" Lucy giggled while lacing her arm with his. "Okay let's go."
The walk to the restaurant was very peaceful. The couple just walked in a comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company. Finally Natsu lead Lucy to a very fancy, expensive looking restaurant not too far from the guild hall.
"Reservation for Dragneel" Natsu proudly told the hostess of the restaurant.
Lucy was clearly impressed that Natsu had even prepared this much for their date.
"Right this way sir" The hostess smiled while leading the couple to their table.
Natsu, being as clueless as he was, sat right down without even considering pulling out Lucy's chair. Lucy however, decided to let his bad manners slide and pulled out her own chair. A waitress came by and put 2 waters and menus in front of them and then left to give the couple a chance to decide what to order.
"So Luce… Did I mention you look great! Much different than how you usually look." Natsu awkwardly complimented.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Lucy questioned, not sure how to take the so called compliment.
"I didn't mean it in a bad way! You just usually don't look this put together." Natsu said frantically.
"What?" Lucy grew more offended.
"NO! What I mean is-"Natsu quickly stood accidentally bumping into the table spilling water all over Lucy.
"SHIT! I'm sorry Luce." Natsu quickly rushed over with a napkin trying his best to dry Lucy off. In actuality, Natsu was basically rubbing Lucy's boobs.
Lucy, horrified, pushed Natsu away from her. "NATSU! Thanks but I'm fine." Lucy snatched the napkin and started wiping herself off.
Natsu started to feel bad. His perfect date was beginning to go south fast. "No, let me help you." Natsu quickly ignited himself with every intention of drying Lucy off with the heat of his flames.
However, Natsu got too close and ended up burning Lucy's clothes for the second time that day. All the perverted men in the restaurant got nosebleeds at the sight of Lucy in nothing but her undergarments while others hooted and whistled. Lucy was beet red with embarrassment. She quickly grabbed aprons from two nearby waiters and tied them around her body so that she was somewhat covered. Next she pulled out her keys summoning Virgo.
"OPEN GATE OF THE MAIDEN VIRGO!"
"Hello princess. Is it punishment time?" Asked Virgo in her usual way.
"I don't have time for this." Lucy fumed. "I need you to bring me some clothes RIGHT NOW."
"Right away princess." Virgo disappeared and was back in a flash.
Lucy was not pleased with the outfit that Virgo put on her. She was now dressed in a typical playboy bunny costume, ears and all.
"WHAT THE HELL VIRGO!" Lucy looked down horrified at her new outfit.
"I'm sorry princess; it was all I had on such short notice. I wasn't at home when you summoned me. You may punish me if you'd like."
Lucy sighed realizing that that it was indeed way after the time she was contracted to summon Virgo. "Thank you. Sorry for summoning you during your time off."
"It's no trouble Princess." With that Virgo returned to the spirit world.
"Hey where'd your hot friend go?" Yelled a perverted man in the restaurant.
"Yeah, bring her back and kiss her! I'd like to see those thangs jiggle!" Yelled an even more perverted man.
At this Natsu fumed. "HEY! CUT THAT OUT YA JERK! UNLESS YOU WANNA ANSWER TO ME!" Natsu yelled back at the disgusting man.
Lucy was growing more and more embarrassed, and her inappropriate attire made it no better.
"COME GET SOME PINKY!" The man yelled making his way towards Natsu.
This is the biggest scene ever, Lucy thought to herself. Why couldn't Natsu just let it go? It was their first date for crying out loud!
Natsu made his way over to the man who quickly tried to sucker attack Natsu with a fire ball. Little did he know that Natsu was also a wizard and couldn't be harmed by fire magic.
Natsu quickly ate the flames. "Hmmm, this fire isn't half bad! Now I've got a fire in my belly."
At this, the man's sweat dropped. "Y-Your salamander, that dragon slayer kid from Fairy Tail!"
"Sure am. And you disrespected my girlfriend, now I'm all fired up; FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" Natsu punched the man square in the stomach sending him flying towards several tables breaking them instantly and also ruining several couple's meals in the process.
The manager quickly approached Natsu "I'm sorry sir but I'm going to ask you and your girlfriend to leave. The two of you have caused far too many interruptions. I'm also going to have to charge you for the damages." The lady handed Natsu a bill and then walked away.
Natsu paid the bill and went back over to the table only to see that Lucy was gone. He quickly rushed out of the restaurant to find her. Luckily, she only made it down the street.
"LUCE! HEY LUCE WAIT UP!" Natsu yelled while running down the street to catch up with his girlfriend. "Where are you going?" He said, finally next to the speed walking blonde.
"I'm going home Natsu." Lucy said angrily
"But… why? Our date was just getting started." Natsu said honestly confused.
Lucy stopped walking dead in her tracks causing Natsu to stop with her. "Do you not even remember what just happened back there?! You humiliated me in front EVERYONE! And if that wasn't bad enough, you made a HUGE scene and got us banned from one of the nicest restaurant in Fiore! You literally ruined this date!"
Natsu sighed. He knew she was right. At the time he thought he was doing the right thing, and then everything just turned bad.
Lucy took Natsu's contemplative silence as a loss of words. "Look Natsu, maybe we rushed into this relationship thing. Maybe we're just not ready." Lucy looked down sadly at the floor.
Natsu started to panic. "Don't say that Luce! I'm really sorry. I promise we'll have much better dates! I swear I'll do better!" Natsu continued to ramble. He then pulled some crumpled up flowers from his pocket. "Here, I got these for you… but I forgot about them and they sorta got ruined."
Lucy accepted the half dead flowers from Natsu anyways.
"Please just give me another chance. I'm new to this whole dating thing and when I spilled that water on ya I freaked. I wanted this date to be perfect so bad and I knew it wouldn't be if you were wet so… I tried to dry you off myself. I didn't mean to burn your dress off again I swear. You looked really nice in it. But anyways, when that guy was saying those things to you I just got mad ya know? I didn't want him lookin at you like that so I just snapped… I'm really sorry." Natsu hung his head in shame.
Lucy smiled, secretly touched by Natsu's words and even by the dead flowers. He was really trying, but the truth is, he had no idea what he was doing. Natsu was truly a creature of habit. Lucy grabbed Natsu's chin and lifted it so that she was looking into his eyes.
"I forgive you" She gave him a light peck on the lips. "We'll try for the perfect date again next time." She smiled.
Natsu visibly brightened at her words. "So there's gonna be a next time?"
Lucy giggled to herself and wrapped her arms around Natsu's shoulders in an embrace. He looked like an eager little puppy as he wrapped his arms around Lucy's waist.
"Yeah there will be a next time." Lucy leaned forward and locked her lips with Natsu's again, only this time she didn't let go. After about a 3 minute make out session, the young couple broke apart.
"Come on, I'll walk you home. You'll probably get kidnapped walking around in that outfit." Natsu laughed.
"Alright" Lucy agreed. "But even if I did get kidnapped, I could handle myself." She turned her nose up and speeded ahead of him.
"Hey wait up!" Natsu said quickly catching up to the girl.
