Chapter 18 New Friends and a New Promise

No one's POV

Friday morning Lucy woke up an hour before her alarm went off.

" Hmm, today's going to be a good day, I just know it" She said out loud to herself.

For the past two days Natsu and Lucy spent it together with Lucy spending the night Wednesday and Thursday, but she went home even with the complaints from Natsu telling her it's dangerous living by herself so far away from his home.

" Natsu I'll be fine, plus you live down the street from me it's not that far, and remember this isn't the first time I've lived by myself. If anything happens, you will be the first person to know ok?" The blonde to the pinky while he was walking her home.

" Promise?" Asked the childish 17 year old with a pouty face.

Lucy just laughed at her childhood Best friend.

" Promise you big dope, now it's getting late and it will be getting late soon." Natsu gave his favorite blonde person his famous grin that makes anyone smile, even if it's just a tiny bit.

" Ok Luce! I'll come and pick you up tomorrow morning that way you don't have to walk to school alone in the rain, since it's also going to rain all day tomorrow unfortunately." He said with a sigh.

" Ok bye Natsu I'll see you tomorrow, I hope you sleep well tonight." Lucy said with sweet smile on her face as she gazed at her long time bestie.

*Back to the present*

The blonde maiden sighed a happy sigh and got out of bed and stretched until she heard and felt a satisfying snap, crackle, pop(Once again I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself). After that she grabbed some clean clothes and went to the bathroom, took a quick shower and since she had time she took a nice warm bath.

After she got out of the bath she patted herself dry with a towel and but on her underwear, bra, and tank top. She quickly did her hair.

' Hmm I'm in a pretty good mood today, I'm going to do my makeup!' She thought to herself as she opened her cabinet and took out her makeup box.

When she was all done she changed out of her tank top and put on a her half tank top, then she slid into her black skinny jean overalls.

Lucy, after deciding that her face and makeup look presentable she went into her room and looked into her full body mirror hanging on her closet door. After seeing how she looks, she made a face.

' Hm no this isn't right. Oh maybe the new white short sleeve shirt could work.' She thought to herself.

Just then her doorbell rang and she quickly looked at the time.

" Oh crap it's already time to go? THE SPARE KEY IS ON TOP OF THE DOOR FRAME NATSU JUST LET YOURSELF IN, I'M ALMOST DONE!" She yells and a moment later she hears the door unlock and open.

" Hey Luce how did you know it was going to be me at the door?" Natsu asked while closing the door again and going to her kitchen and grabbed a donut from a donut box that he brought over.

" Because I'm just magical that way! Hold on a sec I'm almost done I just need to put on my shoes." Lucy responded walking out with her black high tops.

Her outfit consisted of a white short sleeve shirt, black skinny jean overalls, white socks, and black high tops.

Natsu just stood there stunned on how gorgeous Lucy looks.

' What are you thinking Natsu, don't think like that about Lucy!' He scolded himself, all while he was talking to himself in his mind Lucy was by the door with her backpack on looking at him with a worried look.

" Natsu what are you thinking about?" She looked curiously up at the pink haired young man in front of her.

Natsu jumped at the sudden sound of Lucy's voice, and he looked up at her and gave her a big smile.

" Nothing don't worry, it's just me being me!" Lucy didn't look convince but she didn't push anymore on the matter.

" Well ok, then let's go or we'll be late!" she called out behind her. Natus just laughed at her and grabbed the donut box since he knew that she probably didn't eat anything yet.

' She's so forgetful and it's so adorable, WAIT WHAT STOP IT NATSU!' after shaking his head he followed the blonde and closed and locked the door since she didn't.

After getting to the car to find a very impatient Lucy.

"Natsuuuu, hurry up and unlock your carrr." Lucy whined like a 5 year old.

" How old are you again? 7?" He laughed at her as he unlocked the car, Lucy stuck her tongue out at him and got in the car.

Once he got into the car he pasted Lucy the box and her eyes lit up at the site of donuts.

" Yay donuts!" She squealed while taking one out of the box and taking a big bite out of it. Natsu just chuckled at the blounds childishness and started to drive to school. After a 10 minutes of driving they got to the school.

Both Natsu and Lucy got out of the car and walked to the large building together, laughing at old memories from their childhood.

Lucy POV

As me and Natsu walked into the school building we were both arguing about who ate all the cookie dough the one time they wanted to make cookies for their moms.

" I was not the one who ate the cookie dough Natsu it was you and you know it!" I yelled at him with a big smile on my face, not realising that up head was all of our friends staring at us like we both grew two heads.

" Nope it was you, I never even touched the cookie dough." Natsu smirked loving how Lucy was trying so hard not to smile but failing miserably.

Just then we heard someone clear their throat and we both look up to see Levy, and all of Natsu's friends.

" Umm, did I miss something? I thought you two hated each other's guts?" Gray said pointing a finger between the two of us. We both look at eachother with a blank faces then we both burst out laughing our heads off.

" I totally forgot that we hate each other more than anything else!" I laughed even harder and almost fell over if it wasn't for Natsu rapping his arm around her waist laughing just as hard as her and was about to fall over as well.

All the while their friends looked at them like they just lost their minds and were talking about how the people in the white coats are their friends.

" Lu-chan? Are you feeling alright?" Levy asked carefully almost as if she would say the wrong words and then Lucy will rip her head off.

" Hahahaha- yeah I'm awesome, and we also don't hate each other anymore." I said as I finally recovered from my laugh attack, Natsu was getting there but he's still laughing. " It turns out that Natsu was my childhood best friend and we both just remembered this on Friday when we decided to hang out for bit."

After I was done talking all of them looked as us with huge eyes and it sent Natsu right back into a laugh attack.

" Y- You G-guys L-look L-like Bu-bugs!" He gasped out while still laughing his head off, I just roll my eyes at him but can't help but smile at his goofy childish nature.

" Wait hold on, Natsu she's the girl that you would always talk about and get mad at yourself cause you couldn't remember her name or what she looked like except for her golden blonde hair!?" Jellal asked in fascination. Natsu finally recovered enough to say something without sounding like he was dying and said,

"Yup that's her, so let me officially introduce you guys to my best friend, Lucy Heartf-" But before he could finish saying her full last name I grabbed him in the gut and gave him that look that said don't even think about telling them my actual last name " Heart, Lucy Heart, yeah that's her name hehe." He laughed nervously while rubbing his stomach.

I smile shyly up at his friends and said, " Hello I'm Lucy, it's nice to meet you again."

" Wait a minute, hey it's bunny girl from the other day when she helped us with the music note confusion!" The guy with long black hair and tons of piercings yelled. The other guys looked at him with a look that said ' You're just barely figuring this out?'

Then the guy with the red tattoo over his right eye, turned back to me and gave me a kind smile and said,

" Hello again Lucey-san it's very nice to see you again, I'm Jellal Fernandes if you don't remember. The guy with the long hair is Gajeel Redfox, the one who is shirtless is Gray Fullbuster," right after he said that Gray looked down in alarm and yelled something around the lines of ' oh man not again where did it go this time?' " The guy with the white hair is Elfman Stratus, brother of Lisanna and Mirajane, and you already know everyone else."

I laugh at how formal Jellal is. " Hey Jellal, yeah I remember, and it's very nice to meet you all! Also you can call Lucy if you'd like I don't mind."

" I like calling Lucy-san if that's all right.." Jellal said shyly, I just smile kindly at him and nod my yes.

" Um Lu-chan how do you already know Jellal? Natsu and Gray I understand, but you don't have any classes with Jellal I don't think." Levy asked.

" Oh the first day I got here, right after school instead of going home right away I decided to look around that way I can get around easier, and I came upon them while they were practicing." I answered her question.

" Oh ok- wait what you heard them play!?" Levy exclaimed with wide eyes, normally they don't let anyone listen to them during practice…

" She didn't mean to, but she also helped us figure out what we were doing wrong in the song we were playing. Which by the way thanks again Lucy for the help." Gray answered before she could say anything.

I gave him a small smile and said, " Don't worry about it, I'm just glad I was able to help out."

Right then the bell rang signaling kids to start heading to class.

" Time to go to History Luce let's go!" Natsu yelled while grabbing my hand and started running to class before she could even say bye to the others.

" Ahhh Natsu, bye guys!" I yelled behind me as we left them all standing there.

Once we got there Natsu froze and his eyes opened wide. I give him a weird look and ask him what's wrong and all he says is, " Project." and then I know why he looks like a ghost. I just laugh at him and grabbed his arm and pulled him in.

" We'll do fine, I went over everything last night fixing the little mistakes that we both made before I went to bed. We will for sure get an A+ on this assignment." I told him while walking to our seats.

" But I forgot to send him the slide show, now he will take some of our points away for waiting for the last second to send him the slide show part…" Natsu said anxiously. I just laugh lightly at him while he gave me a pouty face.

" Don't worry I took care of that as well last night once I was done final proofing it." Natsu sighed in relief then he had a confused look on his face.

" What is it?" I ask him. " Um just two things, first how did you get to the slides, it's on my email and even if you had my email, you don't know my password? And second, Mom said that both of your parents died, but you told me that you moved here to get away from him, how does that make sense?"

" Oh that, well to start off with your second question first, the reason is because that man that everyone claimed to be my father was actually his identical twin brother James; I guess no one told your parents that my father is actually still alive and that it was James's body that they found. Now for your first question, I may or may not have hacked into your account since I need to get that done, don't worry I didn't go snooping into your stuff." I explained as Natsu stared at me with wide eyes.

" Wait, you can hack into stuff!? That's like way cool, and I'm sorry to hear about your uncle, yeah no one told my parents that it wasn't actually Jude who died. You know what, I find it funny how even tho we were practically inseparable when we were younger, we didn't recognize each other when we first saw each other, I mean come on we haven't changed that much have we?"

I laugh at that, ' Very true, I can't believe I didn't recognize him when I first saw him in the office.'

" Anyways I don't really care if you hack into my stuff I think it's actually really cool that your able to do that." Natsu grinned at me. I smile back while blushing a tiny bit.

" Yeah, how else do you think I was able to transfer here without my father ever knowing? I hacked into his stuff a lot, like to transfer schools and pay all the fees right when he got the emails about paying them before he could even see them. That's also how I found out he was going to make me marry some rich dude in Spain just for more money for his stupid company that he cares more about than taking care of me. That's another reason why I left, I was able to put up with a lot of his stuff but an arranged marriage is where I draw the line, I'm not going off to another country just to marry some spoiled ass hat just because 'Daddy told me too' ugh I hate that man, but I can't help but care for him since he's all I have left." I sigh after I was done with my whole rant and i smiled apologetically at Natsu. " Hehe sorry I totally went on a rant there for a sec."

" No don't worry about it, now I'm really glad your able to hack into stuff and you found that out or else you probably wouldn't have come here and we wouldn't have met again." Natsu sighed as he tried to think of what he would do if Lucy never came back, he would probably still be a huge Jackass to everyone and probably would be pretty lonely without his best friend to talk too.

" Yeah, I can't even imagine what I would do if I hadn't came here and reconnected with you, I would probably still be miserable at home with an abusive, cold hearted father, who only love his money. Hey Natsu no matter whatever happens in the future let's always stay best friends and not forget each other again, promise?" I asked while sticking out my pinky to make a promise with him.

Natsu smile at my childishness and intertwined our pinkies, " Promise."
