Long Awaited! But it is back after a (maybe) long vacation. (Disclaimer: I don't own fairy Tail) Enjoy!
Last time
And like that. Plan A was in charge. Hopefully she didn't have to use Plan C that Levy suggested to her. Levy may act innocent, but she really is a smart thinker.
Now
"Are YOU KIDDING ME MIRA!" Natsu yelled. Lucy woke up with a jolt from Natsu's gruff voice.
"Makarov assigned it." Mira calmly said. At the time Lucy, deeply annoyed, decided to check what was going on. She begrudgingly made her way towards the bars and looked at the two adults.
"What's going on! I'm trying to sleep!" Said Lucy, crankily. Levy on the other hand was sleeping soundly.
"See! I don't wanna do it! Just LOOK AT HER! SHE IS A MONSTER!" Natsu whined as Lucy took offense.
"Well Lucy...The upmost leader of Fairy Tail, decided on having a buddy day for the guards and prisoners." Mira explained with a smile on her face.
"Must be a very gentle Master, right?" Lucy yawned. Mira nodded. "You are assigned to Natsu" Mira added.
"WHAT!" Lucy yelled. "That's one thing we can agree on" Natsu pointed out.
"Since you two are wide awake, you'll be the first one to participate!" Mira exclaimed. The two groaned.
Natsu took a key out of his pockets and unlocked the cell. Lucy came out and Natsu put the usual fire cuffs around her. Lucy grunted Natsu's eyes rolled over.
"Perfect, now follow me!" Mira exclaimed. The duo followed her, ignoring her babbles, until they reached a room where there was 2 chairs.
"How is this a 'buddy room' exactly?" Lucy asked.
"I lock the door and you two talk. Bye now!" Mira said as she shut the door. A click sound was made.
"So..."
"So..."
"How are you..." Natsu asked.
"Good... Who's winning the war so far?" Lucy asked, wanting to get rid of this awkward silence.
"I'm obviously the strongest but I'm not being put out there... Though, I'm sure we are winning!" Natsu answered, in a positive and childish manner.
"If you are the strongest, why are you a guard for the prisoner" Lucy asked mockingly.
"Something about blowing up a city... Don't believe me? I'll show you!" Natsu exclaimed. He stood up from his chair, and rubbed his wrists. Fire came out of his hands. It was a big ball and Lucy could feel high power coming from it.
"I've seen fire users before." Lucy said, completely disinterested.
"But I'm a dragon slayer!" Natsu said. That completely interested her.
"How am I supposed to believe you?" Lucy replied.
"I don't care if you do! I'm just saying" Nastu responded.
"Tell me about yourself?" Natsu added. It kinda shocked her he casually asked her that, but she figured she might never see him again so she might as well say.
"I was born into a wealthy family. I loved my two parents but my mother died. Ever since then, my father began getting greedy. So I ran away. Mermaid Heel took me in, and I felt like I had a good family. As you know, I'm a Celestial Wizard and that's about it. What about you?" Lucy explained. She expected him to pity her. But he didn't. It kinda surprised her.
"I was raised by the fire dragon Igneel. He was great. He even gave me this scarf." Natsu said gesturing to the scarf he was wearing now. "But he disappeared and I'm searching for him. I came to this guild cause it treated me like family. I go on missions every now and then but I sometimes search for Igneel." Natsu added.
"Ahh, seems likes a step to a never ending adventure." Lucy said. Natsu glanced in her direction. Offended, she might add.
"I mean that the adventure is never over. Even if- I mean when you find Igneel. The adventure won't be over yet! It's just a small step towards the main attraction" Lucy responded quietly. Her eyes narrowing to avoid his gaze. A slight blush crept on her cheeks.
"Your so weird Luce!" Natsu said chuckling. Lucy blushed even more "SHUT UP! It was something I read about...Something about a guilds meaning" Lucy muttered.
"Don't you know that it's Fairy Tail's meaning? Listen! 'Do faires even have tail. Noone knows. Its an eternal mystery. Thus it is an eternal adventure!' See? I can't believe you know your enemies motto!" Natsu replied, laughing.
Lucy squirmed in her seat a bit. No wonder her team mates in Mermaid Heel get offended when she uses that quote.
"But Thanks Luce!" He added. His tone was back to it's normal voice wit a tad of seriousness. Whoever this Lisanna girl was, she was lucky to have a boyfriend like him. So sweet, and funny. Despite his childish ways, he seems to be mature. Not to mention that body and th-STOP LUCY! You are here to escape, not be a slut and steal peoples boyfriends.
"Hey Natsu?" Lucy asked nervously. She met his warm gaze. Inviting her to be close friends.
"Hmm?" Natsu responded.
"Mirajane gave me this ticket...for helping Levy feel comfortable in the cell. But I need a guard to do it. So...are you free on Thursday. I heard that's when guards get a day-off per every 3 months" Lucy asked Natsu. The reason Lucy lied was because Natsu would think Mira was trying to set us on for a date. Which is not a date. Plus Mira was so kindd-hearted that it seemed she gave these out to anyone.
Natsu frowned. Maybe the reason was to lame and he was going to say no. "Well...You see I got a-" He paused. It seemed he was thinking it over. He smiled. "Sure. I got an appointment but I am sure I could reschedule." Natsu responded. Giving her a toothy signature smile.
Lucy was wondering what the appointment was but then decided it wasn't important. She would escape on Thursday!
Meanwhile
A young white haired lady stood at the phone.
"Lisanna?" A gruff voice called.
"Yes Natsu? I am so excited. The 3 months has been forever! So what were you going to say Natsu?" Lisanna asked. Unintentionally making the guard guilty.
There was a long pause.
"You can't come can you?" Lisanna asked softly.
"Something came up. I promise I will come in the next three months! But this prisoner named Lucy, she needed someone to go with her on the free-day. So I kinda said yes. Lucy kinda made me feel better so I kinda felt I owe her." Natsu said. Obviously, being a dense idiot, he mentioned a girl.
"Have fun, where are you off to?" Lisanna asked. Hoping it wasn't anything like a date.
"Amusement Park" Natsu replied. Of-course it would be a date area.
"I have to go. Bye." Natsu added.
"Bye. I-" CLICK!
"I love you" She said even though he hung up. She felt tears coming but held them back.
Being Natsu's girlfriend was great and all. But Natsu never did anything romantic. Even Lisanna knew that he was a dense idiot but didn't care. She would always say 'I love you' but he wouldn't say it back. They didn't even kiss yet.
"Natsu, you idiot. Even if you are honest. Never tell a girlfriend about another girl." She muttered as she sank to her knees and cried. It was painful.
And TA DA! Kinda makes you pity Lisanna but cheer at the same time because Natsu never did those things to her. More to come!
