~Normal POV~

It was 9:30 in the morning and Natsu was deep in his sleep, thankfully it was a Saturday. The sun was out and and it was a little windy but still a great weather to go outside. Natsu was sleeping in his bed cuddling with his pillow and dreaming of something unusual like always.

Beeeeep! Beeeep!

Natsu angrily awoke from his slumber and headed for his phone half asleep. It was Gray Fullbuster. "What does this guy want now?!" Natsu tried reading the message that Gray had sent him. It read:

From: Gray (ice princess)

Hey Natsu wake the hell up! Get ready in 15 minutes and meet me at park and hurry up!

Once Natsu had read the text message he put his phone under his pillow, and threw the cover on top of him ready to get back to sleep. However he was awoken by the same noise.

Beeeep! Beeeep!

Natsu took his phone out from under his pillow and it was the same person.

From: Gray (ice princess)

NATSU GET UP! I KNOW YOU READ MY TEXT SO GET UP AND MEET ME AT THE PARK! YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES GOT IT?!

The pinknette sat up and wrote back to his friend.

To: Gray (ice princess)

Fine. I'm going I'm about to get ready right now so hold up -.-

Natsu got up from his bed and left to the bathroom. Once he got out of the restroom he opened his closet and put on his outfit. He put on his blue long sleeve shirt which had golden golden lines coming down the sides. He wore his dark orange pants and his combat boots. After fixing his hair he grabbed his white scarf and circled it around his neck. Once he felt that he was ready he ran through the door heading to park as quickly as possible.

~Natsu POV~

I ran to the park and saw no sign of this dumbass. I took a seat on the park bench and took out my phone. I was about to text Gray when he suddenly appeared in front of me.

"Took you long enough. What happened? You got lost on your way here?" Gray smirked.

I rolled my eyes and stood up, "No i was sleeping until you woke me up I didn't even get a chance to eat breakfast. Anyways what do you want Gray?"

"So i see you got paired up with the Hearfilia girl", he said starting to walk.

"Yea... what about it? Don't tell me you're interested in her now" I said running trying to catch up to him.

"Haha no... not at all. i just came to remind you about the bet thats all. Now that you're paired up with her i bet you won't have a problem doing it." He told me while still walking to I don't know where.

"Yeah, yeah just give me sometime ice princess. Is that the only reason you wanted me to come out here?" I was somewhat annoyed at him for calling me out early in the morning just to tell me this.

He stopped walking and turned around and answered, "hmm... that was part of it but I also wanted to talk to my best friend."

I was somewhat surprised to hear that he wanted to talk to me, his best friend. "Fine what do you want to talk about huh?" i said sitting on the green, fresh grass.

"Dunno", he said lying on his back next to me while closing his eyes.

"Uh... so i saw that you and Juvia are partners for the project." I said giving him a smirk.

He jolted up and said, "Unfortunately yes"

"You seem annoyed at having her as a partner." I laughed a little at his reaction.

"Annoyed and pissed off. She's too clingy." he said with an annoyed tone.

"Well it looks like she likes you! HAHAHA! But why would she like a dumbass like you?!" i said through bits of laughter

"Shut up fire freak!" he yelled getting up to his feet to begin walking again.

Maybe an hour or two passed by. The time passed by fast while talking to Gray. "Hey Gray I go. Gotta work on my project with Lucy." I told him while heading to the park exit.

"Yeah, yeah go ahead. Don't forget what I told you Natsu... about the bet!" Gray shouted while putting his hands in his pockets and walking away from me.

I exited the park and began walking. I was about ten blocks away from the park when I decided to take out my phone to text Lucy about where we should meet up.

To: Lucy Heartfilia

Hey Lucy wanna work on the project today? I mean if you have time.

I leaned on the tree waiting for a reply from this girl. I need to win this bet no matter what!

~Lucy POV~

I was lying on my canopy bed and put my iPod on blast. I was kind of pissed off that my dad was to busy for me, I mean I know thanks to him I have money, a mansion, and pretty clothes but still...

Beeeep! Beeep!

I looked at my phone it was a text from Natsu.

From: Natsu Dragneel

Hey Lucy wanna work on the project today? I mean if you have time.

I needed to get out of this stupid mansion it was irritating me and i needed to get a good grade on this project too so i had no choice but to reply.

To: Natsu Dragneel

Yeah i do have time. Just give me your address so we can work on it at your place.

Once i finished writing back to him I took out my pink headphones out of my ears and sat up on my bed.

Beeep! Beeep!

From: Natsu Dragneel

Umm... you might get lost while getting to my house lol how bout if I pick you up instead?

I didn't want him to know my father was the Jude Heartfilia. I didn't want him to know I was rich and had a mansion. I just want to be like everyone else. I unlocked my phone to text him back.

To: Natsu Dragneel

Instead of picking me up how bout we meet up near the new ice cream parlor in town? We meet up in like 30 minutes?

I threw my phone on my bed ready to get ready. Until there was another message from Natsu.

From: Natsu Dragneel

Ok :)

Perfect! Everything gladly turned out okay. I opened my walk in closet in search for an outfit to wear. After searching through the closet for 10 minutes i finally found a nice outfit to wear. I looked at my self in the mirror. I was wearing a white mini skirt that had small ruffles falling from it and it had a brown belt, I put on a jean blue dressing shirt that was tucked in my the skirt. I was wearing my black flats and tied my hair up in my usually side pony tail with a blue ribbon. I was actually looking really cute in this outfit. I grabbed my purse and left my bedroom and heading for the door when i was stopped by my father.

"Lucy where do you think you are going?" he told me with a very stern voice.

"Im going to... meet up with a classmate to work on a project for school why?" i answered him, my hand in the door knob.

"Nothing... Its very good that you are concentrating on you're studies" and with that he turned around and walked into his office.

I turned the knob and left the house slamming the door shut. I ran to the ice cream parlor, i only had 15 minutes left. I turned several corners in order to reach the place on time. I finally arrived to the parlor and saw Natsu. He was leaning against a tree texting on his phone. I was extremely tired and I was trying to catch my breath. "HEY NATSU!" I waved my hand and walked towards him. Once he saw me he put away his phone and stopped leaning against the tree.

"Hey Luce... you look exhausted!" He said laughing

"Yeah well I was running to get here on time" I answered him. He then looked at the Ice cream parlor which was doing its grand opening. Its name was written in big red letters "Sugar Castle".

He turned around and took my hand into his and took me running inside the parlor. I could feel my face heating up but WHY? I barely know this Natsu guy. We sat near the window waiting for a waitress to take our order.

"Sorry I took your hand. Its that you looked kind of tired and maybe it would be best for you to take a break right?" He said smiling. I couldn't help but blush a little just a little!

"May I take your order?" The waitress said. Wait... I know that voice! I looked up and saw ERZA!?

"Hey Erza can I have an banana spilt please. Thanks!" Natsu exclaimed to Erza.

"How about you Lucy?" She asked me. She was wearing a light pink dress that was not very short. She had black heels and had an apron around her waist.

"Can I have a Strawberry milkshake? But wait... what are you doing here?" I asked her curiously.

"Well I work here surprise right? Anyways someone will bring your order" and with that she left to the counter.

"I see you're good friends with Erza." he told me breaking the short silence that was between us.

"Uhh yeah" I answered him looking away and staring outside the window. Another waitress brought our order and Natsu immediately started eating his banana split sundae.

"Umm... Natsu we still are going to work on the project at your house?" I asked shyly. I wasn't accustomed to talk to guys that much.

He gave me a smile and said, "Yeah but you don't need to be so shy."

We kept talking about random stuff and for some reason I was getting kinda comfortable around but, not too comfortable like when I'm with Erza, Levy-chan, Lisanna, and Juvia. We kept talking for about thirty minutes until we decided it was time to leave to work on the stupid project. I opened up my purse to pay for my strawberry milkshake when Natsu said something.

"Hey Luce don't worry about it i'll pay for it kay?", I simply nodded. Wow this kid really is nice and sweet Lisanna was right.

~Normal POV~

After Natsu had payed both their stuff, Lucy and Natsu left the cute ice cream parlor. They made several turns before they were able to get to Natsu's house. It was true Lucy would get instantly lost on her way to his house. They then made a last turn around a corner and there stood Natsu's house. It was kind of small but still looked inviting. He put his key in the key hole and turned the golden knob.

"We're here! Sorry it kind of messy in here" he said as he kicked things that were on the floor aside in order for Lucy him to pass. Lucy immediately spotted a blue cat with the tip of its tail white.

Lucy gasped as she saw the tiny blue cat sleeping in one of the dresser drawers. "NATSU! YOUR CAT IS JUST SOO CUTE!". She said Natsu squealing loud enough for this tiny blue cat to be awoken by its slumber. The cat opened its big wide eyes and extended its wings and flew to his partner Natsu.

"Natsu whose yelling?" the blue cat asked his partner as he wiped his eye with his tiny paw sleepily.

"Oh she's Lucy a friend from school and my partner for a project. Lucy this is Happy my partner and he's no ordinary cat he's an exceed. Im sure you've heard what an exceed is right?" He asked Lucy while patting Happy in the head.

"Exceed? Yeah their cat-like beings who are able to fly and speak right?" She told Natsu and his partner Happy.

"Aye" the blue cat responded.

"Anyways lets work on the project now. Luce you can sit on the floor next to my bed meanwhile I grab some paper and pencils for us to write out our plan."

Lucy did what she was told by Natsu and sat on the wooden floor next to his undone bed. After a few minutes he came back with a few pencils and copy paper. He threw them on the floor and sat next to Lucy. They began working on their chemistry project well thinking about ideas for their project. At the beginning Natsu and Lucy would argue which of their ideas was best. Natsu wanted to do something with glow in the dark while Lucy wanted to do something more educational.

Lucy looked at the time on her phone it was 8:30 in the night. "Well i better go Natsu its late."

"But we don't even have an idea on the project most of the time we spent it arguing" he responded back to her while getting up and stretching.

"Umm... okay how bout we combine our two ideas? It'll be a lot more fun and we could easily get an A" She told him smiling.

"Uhhh... Okay sounds like a great idea! Want me to drop you home?" He asked her. It was dark and only the moon could have been seen.

"Its okay Natsu I'll get a taxi to get home. Bye Natsu, Bye Happy!" She said walking towards the door.

"Bye Lucy" They both said in unison as Lucy closed the door behind her.

~Natsu POV~

I threw my body on my bed I was so freaking tired. I closed my eyes to rest a little and Happy was just talking to me something about fish, which i really didn't care. This Heartfilia girl tires me out. Now that you're paired up with her i bet you won't have a problem doing it. Oh yea, I have to do this all for the stupid bet. I sighed and got up from my bed. After all I bet she's like every other girl annoying, and stupid. After putting on my Pj's i got into my warm bed and went of to sleep.

~Time skip` 1 hour and 30 minutes later` Lucy POV~

By the time I got home it was nearly ten in the night. My father didn't even notice me coming home, too busy with work like always. I quickly went to my and change my clothes. I put on my pink silk night gown that went up to my knees, I let down my hair from its side pony tail. After doing everything I needed to do I plopped onto my warm bed. Even though it wasn't on purpose Natsu held my hand today. Wait what I'm i thinking it was nothing right? I mean i barely know him and we're just working together. I can't be thinking of him anyways. I shut my eyes and went to sleep.

OKAY! SO how was it good? Bad? i tried making it longer the next chapter might be uploaded in two weeks don't know depends. But anyways PLEASE REVIEW!
