After what happened that day, Lucy started to feel very strange around Natsu still. Natsu on the other hand doesn't understand why Lucy is upset. It was just a hug. "H-Hey Lucy," Natsu said awkwardly. Lucy looked up and blushed. "Hi," she said with embarrassment. "Lucy, all I did was hug you," Natsu said. "What's the big deal?" Lucy jumped and flushed. "I-I just... when I said I loved you, I meant like a brother," Lucy said. "Since I've known you for this long." Lucy looked embarrassed as ever, and Natsu felt as if he should take the blame. "Well, if you're embarrassed, I'm sorry," Natsu frowned, walking away. Lucy looked up and grabbed Natsu's wrist. "No, it's my fault," she said. "I acted so awkward about a small hug."

One Week Later:

"Natsu come on! We have to go! Please?" Lucy begged, holding up a paper to his face. "Um..." said Natsu as he blankly stared at the paper that read; Brother-Sister Dance May 31, X798. Lucy really wanted to go but Natsu was just blank. "But you're not my sister," Natsu said. "I'm like your sister," Lucy smiled. "Fine," Natsu said. "Yay!" Lucy exclaimed, grabbing Natsu's hands and spinning him around. "Get dressed so we can go!" Lucy happily skipped away to get dressed. Natsu smiled at Lucy's happiness.

Later:

Lucy and Natsu were at the dance together, holding hands and smiling. "This is fun," Lucy said. "It's fun just being here with you," Natsu said, making Lucy smile. "Okay everyone. We're giving out crowns now," the announcer said. "Our favorite siblings are... Lucy and Natsu!" Lucy happily grabbed Natsu's hand and dragged him up the stage. "You're my favorite sibling," Lucy said, hugging her "brother". "I'm not related to you though," Natsu said. "Whatever," Lucy said.
