After Lucy took a shower she headed to the north road that led out of Magnolia. At the edge of town she saw Natsu and Happy waiting for her. "Hey Lucy come on we have a 5 day walk ahead of us!" Natsu yelled. '5 day walk' Lucy thought angrily before dragging Natsu to the train station, and then forcing him to tell her where they needed to go. After they entered the train Natsu sat down next to the excited Happy who knew that the mission involved fish. Lucy who entered last got to the seats and told Happy "Move it, cat!". A scared Happy complied with her demand and moved to the seat opposite of Natsu. As the train started to move she sat down and right on Que Natsu's motion sickness set in and he fell over onto Lucy's lap, who just smiled and played with his hair. Happy just stared with his jaw to the floor and eyes the size of his head. Then happy started kitten punching Lucy screaming "who are you and what have you done to Lucy". Lucy grabbed him by the head and said in a surprisingly calming voice "It's me silly thing have just changed between us, Ok". She looked down at Natsu who had fallen asleep. Happy replied with "ooh I knew you LOOVED him" saying love with his usual emphasis on it. Lucy just sighed and said "I do love him".

The train ride lasted about 7 hours. And the still sleeping Natsu was awoken to a beautiful and soothing voice saying "Get up Natsu or I'll Leave you on the train!". Natsu Jumped up and ran off the train. Lucy sighed grabbing her bag and walking off the train. It was starting to get dark and she thought it would be a good idea to stay at a hotel until morning. "Hey lets stay at a hotel tonight and then start the job tomorrow.", Natsu nodded in agreement and followed her to a hotel. When they entered the lobby Lucy went to the check in desk and asked for a room. Natsu then headed to the desk but was stopped when Lucy grabbed his arm and was dragged to the room the whole time asking Lucy what she was doing. She opened the door to the room and dragging him into the room and Happy following close behind Lucy closed the door and leaned against it with a sigh. Natsu now fascinated with the suite they where staying in. It had big room with a single bed, a bathroom, and another room with a smaller bed and a projection lacrima. Natsu and happy ran around exploring the suite that was larger than their house. Lucy went to Natsu who was standing next to the window looking out at the beautiful lake in the center of the town. Lucy stood next to Natsu and grabbed his hand causing him to jump a little. Then Lucy leaned her head on his arm. Natsu just stared at the smile that was plastered on her face.

The sun went down and Happy had went to sleep in the other room. Natsu was the first to speak saying "lets get some rest". He waited but there was no response. He looked down to see her sleeping, he smiled picked her up and layed her in bed. He then got into bed with her facing the opposite direction to find her end up having her snuggle close to him so he turned and put his arms around her. After a few minutes he fell asleep.

Morning came and Natsu woke up to find Lucy gone he panicked and screamed "Lucy where are you". Lucy was startled and slipped falling to the shower floor. Natsu instantly ran to the bathroom and kicked the door open to find Lucy on her ass naked. Both of their faces turned red and Natsu Turned and ran out closing the door as he left. Lucy heard Natsu say he was sorry before leaving the suite. Lucy hurried and finished showering and then put on her clothes. Then grabbed a sleeping Happy yelling at him to wake up. When she did she told him to hurry and find Natsu and then bring him back. When Happy left Lucy layed on the bed where Natsu was sleeping and finding his scent pleasant she smiled and thought 'that Idiot'.
