Hey there, everyone! So sorry about this update being so late! I decided to make this chapter a little bit fluffy...ENJOY!
Lucy Pov.
I awoke about five hours after "the sendoff" as I had beed referring to it. I picked up the job flyer and read over it again. "Celestial Mage wanted for help in testing potential new Earthland made keys. Job will take about an estimated three days to complete, located in Croucus. For more information and for job acceptance, please contact Princess Hisui."
I smiled at the thought of seeing my friend again. She was always creating some form of magic for Celestial Mage use.
I noticed my mind start to drift again, but out of exhaustion did nothing to stop it. I thought about how funny it would be to watch Natsu be startled by my new security system. I chuckled quietly to myself as I imagined an alarm blaring and his onyx eyes widening as he jumps in surprise.
Natsu Pov.
Happy and I have been at Lucy's house for five hours just chilling. There was something about her house that made me relax whenever I walked in, but today something was bugging me.
The silence. I feel like I should be hearing her in the kitchen cooking us dinner, or yelling at me because
I accidentally broke something. But I know that Lucy is currently on a train to Croucus... Alone... My common sense smacked me in the face. Well not exactly alone... She had her celestial spirits with her, but still. The thought makes me uneasy.
"Natsu?" Happy's voice sounds distant. "Natsu, are you ok? You kind of zoned out there."
"Yeah! Sorry little buddy! Just got a little bit distracted." I say.
Happy eyes me and says, "ok... But I'm hungry. Lets go eat!"
My own stomach growled as I realized how hungry I was also. "Sounds good to me! Lets go raid the fridge!"
I put one hand in the air pointing at the ceiling and yelled, "TO THE KITCHEN!" And dashed off to the fridge with Happy in tow.
Ten minutes later, Happy and I had cleaned out her entire fridge.
"N-natsu!" Happy stammered.
"What? What is it, Happy?" I asked, alarmed.
"You have a mushroom growing out of your head!" I looked at him, confused, when I noticed something protruding from the top of his head as well.
"Happy you have one too!" I said as I reached up to touch my mushroom. Yep. It was there alright.
"Ehhhhhhh?!" Happy squeaked in surprise as I patted the top of his mushroom. Suddenly I burst out laughing as realization dawned on me. I wiped away a tear and explained my outburst.
"Remember those mushrooms we ate on the way back from fighting Erigore? They gave us head mushrooms just like these! Luce must have planted some of those mushrooms in her fridge knowing sooner or later, we would come along and eat one of them!" I burst out laughing again.
"Aww, man." I chuckled quietly. "Luce, no one make me laugh like you do." I smiled when I thought of her.
"Awwwww!" Happy chided me. "You llliiikkkeeee her!"
"You don't need to tell me something I already know!" I retorted.
Yay! Our first little Nalu moment has occured! I am so proud! If you have any suggestions for what Natsu or Lucy should do next, feel free to PM me! As always, THANKS FOR READING! XD
