Chapter 11: Lisanna Strauss and Juice Boxes

Start:

"Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"Yea?" Lucy responded while drinking from an orange juice box.

"Do you wanna go on a date with me?" Natsu grinned as he spoke those words. The moment he said that, Lucy did a spit take on him.

Apparently word has gotten out Natsu was missing. All the guards and higher rankings, were speaking to one another if they had seen him. Erza came up to Lucy and put an arm on her shoulder. "Lucy, have you seen where Natsu is?" The red head asked. Lucy shook at the sound of the voice. "Why are you asking me?" Lucy asked. This kind of information was supposed to be dealt with the officials, not a lowly prisoner like herself.

"You are the person who spends time with him alot" Erza replied. This made Lucy get pissed.

"I'M NOT FRIENDS WITH THAT BAKA!(IDIOT!)" Lucy yelled at the scarlet. A few seconds Lucy yelled that, she covered her mouth. She had dared yelled at the Erza. THE ERZA. Lucy got a few words out before the scarlet spoke. "Forgive me, I didn't mean to pry into your privacy!". As she said that, she began to kneel down on one knee with her head down.

"Eh! Erza, I-It's fine- It was my f-fault!" Lucy quivered as she gestured her hands up as a sign to get up.

"No it is my fault" Erza said as she began to stand.

"Why are you apologizing to me?" Lucy asked, afraid if this was the right thing to ask. At that instant Erza began to blush. It was the first time Lucy had ever seen her like this.

"W-Well...U-Um...I never really had a girl friend to talk to about c-clothes and girl talk and b-b-b-boys before! I-If it's n-not a problem, I-I would really like to b-become friends with you!" The scarlet kept on stuttering with her blush getting worse. Lucy understood. Cana, Mirajane, Laki, and most of the other girls were into gossip. If Erza told anything embarrassing to them, they would spill. Fast.

"Sure! I can come over tomorrow if you have something you need to talk about" Lucy suggested in a friendly manner. Seeing Erza like this was cute actually, it made Lucy feel like a big sister for once. Even if they hadn't known each other well. The connection of friendship was there. "AND DON'T YOU DARE SAY THIS TO ANYONE!" Erza shouted to Lucy in a threateningly manner. "H-Hai (Y-Yes!)" Maybe Erza was the big sister instead of the little sister.

As Erza began to leave, Lucy turned around to walk in the opposite direction, towards her cell. Surprisingly, the cell's were unlocked. It happens after a prisoner shows true family characteristics. Apparently, they thought of Lucy as a family member which made her feel happy and unsure. She didn't want to get too attached but they were so friendly.

Then the thought of what Erza said before. About her always being with Natsu. She didn't know wh it suddenly made her angry. The only logical reason was what Natsu did before he 'mysteriously' vanished. Which was insult her in Mira's bathroom. Lucy knew for a fact where Natsu had gone but she didn't know when. As she began to ponder in her thoughts some more, she realized she was thinking of Natsu.

Lucy slapped her cheeks. "Don't think about that baka(Idiot)!" She had no right to after what he did. Still, she couldn't help but think what he was doing now.

"I still can't believe you left your job for a little bit to come see me!" Lisanna explained her shock as she was driving in a limo with Natsu. He was rich, she knew it, but she was so accustomed to Natsu's original vehicle (Edo-Natsu's vehicle) that a car scent the limo had was making her nose suffer. Lisanna was wearing a dress. A deep-blue sparkling dress that ended by her knees. She could walk now. Rehab was helping but instead of wearing high heels, she wore blue flats with a sparkly bow on it.

Natsu was in his tux. Occasionally looking at his motion sickness patch every now and then. He personally didn't like this vehicle but wanted Lisanna's doubts washed away.

"So tell me of your adventure's at the prison Natsu" Lisanna asked as she playfully nudged Natsu. Natsu looked shock, obviously not expecting her to speak.

"Oh yea! You know that new person named Lucy? She's great! A weirdo but really nice!-" Natsu began to drone on and on. Lisanna smiled gently. Lucy really seemed like a nice person. The way Natsu described her made Lisanna really want to meet her.

Natsu even took her to the amusement park where they got each other dolls. She smiled sadly at this. Vague images with her and Natsu took place at her house. It was those vacation days so he came to see her. "Ne, Natsu! Promise me you'll go to the amusement park with me!" Lisanna said. The past Natsu nodded with a smile. The memories were crisp but as tried to imagine her and Natsu in the past, the faces became blurred and even the sound of the voices were scratched out.

"I guess it would be impossible to remember now..." Lisanna murmured to herself. Natsu paused and looked at her. "What was that?"

"Nothing!" She said as she reassured him with a gentle wave of her hand, gesturing what she said. Natsu oh'd before continuing on. He didn't mention her everytime in the conversation, but it was mostly her. It felt weird.

Normally, when boyfriends talk to their girlfriends about another girl, one would feel jealous. Instead, she didn't feel any jealousy. In fact. She felt glad. She continued to think until Natsu shook her a bit.

"Huh? Wha?"

"We're here. Are you sure your fine?" Natsu asked. Lisanna gave him a smile with a nod. As she did they stepped out of the limo. They began walking side by side towards the fancy restaurant. Natsu took a quick notice of his hands and Lisanna's. He began to grab hers. "I think we should do this more" (A/N don't worry it won't get more intimate than that)

Lisanna smiled but her eyes gestured something else. Uneasiness that Natsu didn't notice. Towards Natsu, Lisanna's hand seemed to fit into his but he expected Lisanna to have such smaller hands. It was soft but he expected the skin to be more rough if you could say. Compared to Lucy's hand, Lisanna felt a bit different. Natsu remembered him holding hands with Lucy at the amusement park. They had to so they didn't get separated.

"Mira-nee is right"

It's been a couple of days. Lucy kept getting up from her cell and walking around impatiently. When was he going to come back. Lucy still felt irritated and she was certain if not possible that is was because she was being stubborn about Natsu insulting her. What else could've it been? She put her mind to something else. She had forgotten to go to Erza's room last night for a sleep over so she had to go today.

"Hey MiraJane, I'm going to Erza's room tonight, is that okay with you?" Lucy asked as she began to sip her grape juice box. For some reason the juice box's had little horoscopes written on the back. It was weird. Especially on a juice box. Basically it says what type of juice box the person should drink. Apparently tomorrow she was supposed to drink orange juice for good luck. Weird but it was fun to kill time. She checked Natsu's horoscope. She didn't know what his birthday was but she knew it was in the summer and it's some month in June. She checked it. Wow, that's rare. A double horoscope. Apple juice for good luck but wine for bad luck this and next week. Lucy looked at the juice box in puzzlement.

Wine? What's that doing in a juice box horoscope? The juice box was actually openable and the fun thing about it, is that if you drink all of it, there's a secret message at the bottom. Juice boxes are really confusing at the prison. She finished the last sips of the juice before sure that the juice box was empty. She began to unpackage it. After she unpackaged the box, there was the usual fortune message. Except the words were different. They usually are but this was worded weirdly.

The final fortress is being taken down

Lucy shook it off before throwing it into the trash and making her way back to the bar. "Why are you going to Erza's room?" Mira asked as Lucy sat on the bar stool.

"Girl talk. Which means secrets. Which means I won't tell." Lucy bluntly answered.

"Oh, your going to talk about Erza's boyfriend aren't you!" Mira said as she put her fist on her other hand which was laid out.

"She has a boyfriend!" Lucy exclaimed. "I didn't think she had one" Lucy whispered as she was aware of the eyes staring at her from the outburst.

"Well, it's probably because we don't see much of him?" Mira explained. "He visits?" Lucy questioned.

"Nope, Never. Maybe once but probably to visit Erza. After all, being a convicted criminal with a really high felony record and having the police chasing him is really hard. I'm sure if he has time he would visit." The white-haired beauty explained. "By the way, yes, you can sleepover" Mira added,

Lucy bolted out of the cafeteria. Ran straight towards her cell, grabbed her things before running towards Erza's room.

She had to hear about this.

"Wow, the dinner was great but I could do without the music and stingy employees." Lisanna told Natsu. He chuckled. "So where are we going next?". The driver is just driving around probably headed towards your house. We are going to relax here." Natsu replied. As he did so, he grabbed two cups from a box with a bottle of wine. Lisanna smiled. He really does like Wine.

As he poured it he began to speak. "Lisanna, I heard your uneasy right now. To be honest, you mean a lot to me. I really want you to be happy".

She smiled at this. "I feel better already. I finally figured out that my uneasiness is gone. It's gone if you figure out what was needed to be gone." She replied.

"Well...did you ever like your last name?" Natsu went on to say. "Of course I do, I share it with my Elf-ni and Mira-nee. Why would I hate it?"

Natsu sighed and smiled once more.

"Well..." He reached into his pocket.

"Erza is it true your dating someone!?" Lucy went straight forwardly. Erza blushed more. "How did you know I l-like Jellal." She stuttered. Lucy's eyes grew wide. "JELLAL! THE JELLAL! THE ONE WHO IS THE 3rd MOST TOP WANTED IN ALL OF FIORE? HE'S YOUR BOYFRIEND!" Lucy had recalled the news about him. Saying how he's dangerous and should the call the magic police the moment you see him. That Jellal.

"Don't speak rudely of Jellal. He's not as bad as you think. He is kind and really sweet!" Erza softly protested. Lucy could see Erza's face scarlet. It gave of that 'moe'(Cute) expression. She really did look innocent. Lucy sighed.

"I will be the judge of that, if you meet him, take me with you, I'll judge him myself to see if he's worthy of you!" Lucy declared.

Erza looked up. "Really! You would do that!? Your a great friend. Some would tell me to give up! I'll CONTACT HIM RIGHT NOW SO YOU CAN MEET HIM SOON!" Erza stated as she stood up from her sitting spot and went towards her phone to the bathroom.

Lucy froze. Was Erza serious? Lucy meant it but she didn't want to. She didn't even expect Erza to do it. Now Lucy was going to personally meet the 3rd most wanted criminal of all of fiore.

Erza popped her head out of the bathroom for a second. "Lucy, it's 7th Top wanted criminal. So don't worry as much" before popping her back in. Lucy mentally yelled HE'S STILL IN THE TOP WANTED CRIMINAL LIST!

"Natsu opened the box. It was a ring. Diamond encrusted and elegant. Lisanna froze and started crying. "Well, you could keep your maiden last name" Natsu replied cheekily. "Natsu I-" "Look! It fits you so well!" as he began to slip it on her ring finger.

She cried. "I'm so happy and sad..." Natsu cocked his head when she mentioned 'sad'. The limo halted to a stop. "Natsu... thank you but I realized" She breathed in as the tears began to fall again. Natsu put his hand up to rub it off but she stopped his hand. "Natsu. I love you... I really do but I realized this isn't right". She began to slip off the ring and put it in the box.

She closed it. "W-What do you mean" Natsu's smile faltered. What was happening.

She reached and ruffled his hair a bit. "To think you've grown so much. I always imagined you were the one to leave me. After I lost my place I only had two thing to lose. How it was precious to me. Natsu, you were one of those precious things. Now I realize I'm precious to you as well...But I think it's enough Natsu... You supported me. I realized I never did love you romantically. I never had... At some point I probably did but it was too late til I realized. You were bound to me because of what I did. I'm sorry for that. I really am. You don't have to keep that promise anymore. You don't. I-I love you...But it's a different kind of love. I just needed to be needed." Lisanna's tears fell down to her chin and dripped. Her eyes are misty but her head stays high.

"Natsu. Thank you... I'll see you again..." As she said that she opened the limo door and walked out. Making a closed shut. The limo began to move. Natsu wanted to stop it and chase after her but all he could do was sit in full shock. Did he just got dumped?

He sighed and chuckled to himself as he poured himself another glass of wine. Why hadn't it reached her. His feelings. It was always, always about her wasn't it. That's right. Who was she thinking that he didn't love her.

"Driver, take me to Fairy Tail Prison please."

He does. After all.

Natsu came back that exact day. Everyone was scolding him but he joked and somehow avoided the punishment. "So Natsu, when's the wedding day?" Lucy nudged Natsu with a wink. Natsu looked at her. Lucy noticed his easy go lucky smile but his eyes showed mixed emotions that Lucy knew was. She had those expressions as a child but she couldn't remember why or what it was showing.

Lucy poked a hole through the orange juice box and began to drink from it. It did say she should drink it this week.

"Lucy?" Natsu asked.

"Yea?" Lucy responded while drinking from her orange juice box

"Do you wanna go on a date with me?" Natsu smiled as he spoke those words. The moment he said that Lucy did a spit take on him.

He does. After All

She was his first love.

Ok and thats the end of this chapter. Sorry it took so long. I had homework. ALOT on the first week of school. I had inspiration from this song by Tokyo TeddyBear (Vocaloids, Rin) I listened to it. Also Natsu didn't fall in love with Lucy that fast. He got rejected and dumped his first love. Give him some time.

I am currently coming up with new story ideas. Also, I'm sorry if I'm late. Please excuse it. Also review, it helps a lot. What did you think about the chapter?
