Chapter 6

I'm not Jealous...Maybe just a little.

"Natsu when are we going to go on a real mission? I'm hungry and I haven't had any fish. Then why are wearing these disguises for anyway?" Happy asked while he pulled his mustache off because it was making his nose itchy.

"Put it back on Happy. I just need to check on some things first,"Natsu said and tip toed to another bush and quickly hid behind it.

"Does this have anything to do with Lucy not being on your team anymore? Natsu I thought you didn't like her?" Happy said and Natsu shushed Happy so they wouldn't be spotted.

"This has absolutely nothing to do with Lucy. I'm just being a good friend and making sure that she is okay," Natsu said and drew up the collar of his jacket tighter around his neck.

"Okay. You know I don't believe you but whatever helps you sleep at night. And get me fish. I don't think my stomach can take this anymore," Happy complained and pretended to pass out.

"That's nice Happy," Natsu whispered not paying attention.

"What about Lisanna. Don't you lllooovvveee her? She loves you and wants to be your girlfriend," Happy said and placed his mustache back on his face.

"Lisanna is just a friend,"Natsu said and ducked again so he wouldn't be spotted.

"What do you think Levy and Lucy are talking about?" Happy asked Natsu.

"Shh, I can't hear," Natsu said and concentrated on the conversation between the young women.

"How long do you think they are going to follow us?" Levy asked trying not to draw attention to the obvious stake out Natsu and Happy were doing.

"I have no idea. I really wish they would stop. It's getting a bit ridiculous. I tried to go out with Tomas and Natsu was there with Happy. They were "hiding" behind these big menus,"Lucy said and shook her head.

"How did you know it was them?" Levy asked trying not to laugh.

"Well the first hint was the menu was from a different restaurant. Then when Tomas went to grab my hand. I heard Happy telling Natsu to calm down. I looked and his menu caught on fire. It was so embarrassing. Tomas was good about it. He still took me to go see that play and we had ice cream. Paid for Natsu and Happy too since they tagged along. It was so embarrassing. Then when Tomas took me home he asked if Natsu and I broke up or something. I must have busted my pancreas from laughing so hard. My side still hurt. Natsu is in love with Lisanna not me," Lucy said and balled up her paper napkin in frustration.

"Slow down Hulk. Maybe you missed something and Natsu really does like you. Honestly would a guy that didn't like someone stalk them? I mean he follows you everywhere like a lost little puppy. It's almost cute," Levy said and waved at Happy who waved back.

Natsu immediately snatched Happy back behind the bushes they were not doing a very good job of hiding behind.

Levy and Lucy giggled at the best friends' antics.

"Did you read the next mission that we are going on? Gajeel picked it and is suppose to meet us here," Levy said and looked around the busy outside cafe.

"Yeah. It should be a really easy one since Triple Threat is on the case," Lucy giggled.

"Oh another thing. There is suppose to be Fairy Tail Team Building Competition next month. I signed us up. I think that we could beat everyone," Levy said and pulled out the flyer that Mirajane gave to her.

Lucy read it and smiled at some of the games that they had to do.

"We got this in the bag. This should really be fun. I wonder what teams are going to be competing," Lucy asked and tried to think of the teams that were already established in their guild.

"More than likely the usual. Thunder God Tribe, oh side note Laxus will join them, Shadow Gear, Team Natsu, and then us Triple Threat. I think that everyone else will cheer us on,"Levy said and finished her pineapple mango smoothie.

"Not worried at all. We got this," Lucy said and waved Gajeel over when she saw him coming out of the restaurant.

"Bunny Girl, Shrimp," Gajeel greeted them.

Lucy now use to being named Bunny Girl just nodded her head in acknowledgment and handed him the flyer to the FT Team Building Competition.

"Mira gave me one. She told me that Shrimp had already signed us up. Should be a piece of cake," Gajeel said and started to eat some metal screws.

"That's what I said," Lucy said and ate her muffin.

"Do you think that Team Natsu is going to be ready for it?" Levy asked and tilted her head towards the bushes again.

"Don't know and don't care. Maybe they should go and practice," Lucy said with a raised voice.

The bush shook a bit and then Natsu and Happy ran away.

"Why did we leave?" Happy said trying to keep up with Natsu.

"We need to get the rest of the team together. We are going to win that competition and do a friendly wager with Triple Threat," Natsu said and smirked a bit.

"Natsu you are scaring me," Happy said and flew over Natsu's head.

"It's just going to be me and Lucy. You have nothing to worry about. It's that our team have to win,"Natsu said and kicked open the doors to the guild.

The Night Before the Competition

"Lucy, I will like to make a bet with you for tomorrow," Natsu said when he came up to her.

"Wait? A bet? I thought you didn't gamble?" Lucy asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't unless I know for sure that I will win," Natsu said cockily.

"Oh really. What do you have in mind?" Lucy asked and Levy giggled.

Natsu turned slightly red and shook his head.

"You will have to come back to Team Natsu if I win," Natsu said and Lucy and Levy gasped. Then burst into a fit of laughter.

"What! Are you serious? You was the one that kicked me off of your team in the first place. I'm going to have to decline that bet Natsu," Lucy said and turned back to the counter to finish her strawberry shake.

"Let me take you out on a date,"Natsu blurted and the entire guild grew quiet.

"I beg your pardon?" Lucy asked.

"I said that if I win then I get a chance to take you out on one of those date thingies that you go on," Natsu said with red ears.

"What if I win?" Lucy asked.

"Well that's not going to happen," Natsu said.

"You don't know that. What do I get if I win?" Lucy asked with her arms folded across her chest.

"What do you want?" Natsu asked.

"I want three I owe yous. I guess be my personal genie. Grant me three wishes that I want," Lucy said and smirked.

"I think I can do that," Natsu said thinking it over.

"Well then Mr. Dragoneel you have yourself a deal," Lucy said and held her hand out.

Natsu grabbed it with his warm hand and rubbed the back of her hand. Lucy blushed a bit and withdrew her hand from the handshake.

Natsu was beginning to leave but stopped and went back to Lucy.

"Oh and when I win I want you to wear that something red," Natsu said and left the guild.

Levy started to fan Lucy and giggled.

"Why are you fanning me?" Lucy said and stopped Levy from continuing.

"It got really steamy in here," Levy said and almost fell out of seat from giggling.

"We got to win," Lucy said under her breath and gathered her belongings to go home.

The Next Day

"Ready to lose Heartfilia? Team Natsu is going to wipe the floor with you guys," Lisanna said and stretched her body.

"Don't count us out yet. Natsu don't forget about our bet. Good luck," Lucy said and left Team Natsu to find her own.

"Natsu what is she talking about?" Lisanna asked.

"Nothing that concerns you. I got this under control. Just promise me that you will give your all and that we win,"Natsu said trying to pep up Lisanna.

Erza, Gray, Wendy and Carla arrived and handed Lisanna, Happy, and Natsu a custom made shirt for them to wear.

"One minute until show time! Teams get in your positions for the reading of the rules," Warren telepathed to everyone.

Moments later the four teams competing was outside in the front of the guild. The master of the Fairy Tail guild was waiting for everyone.

"Is this where we are going to compete Master?" Evergreen asked.

"No child. That's the first competition. The rules are simple. Your entire team must all pass through the finish line to go to the next level. Leave anyone behind then your entire team is disqualified. You may use your magic to help you in the competition. No fighting with other teams. First team to make 60 points will win the Team Building Competition and bragging rights. Any questions?" Master asked.

The teams looked at each other and shook their heads.

"On your mark, get set, see you at the finish line. Go!" Master Makarov said and a gunshot was heard.

All the teams were off.

A few hours later concluding the grueling torment. Trophy Ceremony

"I will like to congratulate Triple Threat in first place and Team Natsu followed by The Thunder God Tribe and then Shadow Gear. Each team did a famously good job," Master Makarov said and handed Gajeel the trophy.

Lucy and Levy tiredly hugged each other and fell to their knees.

"So I guess Natsu is going to be at your beck and call now?" Levy asked with her back leaning against Lucy's.

"Yup. But right now I just want to shower and go home," Lucy said and wiped her dirt covered face with sweat pouring down her face.

"Well look alive if that's possible. Here comes Natsu," Levy said and laid completely on the ground.

"Lucy congratulations," Natsu said and squatted in front of Lucy.

"Thanks," Lucy said and gave him a weak smile.

"I didn't know that you was that limber. Your quick feet won you the competition," Natsu said and helped Lucy up off the ground that was more comfortable than on her feet.

"Master has a sick sense of humor," Lucy said and hobbled alongside Natsu.

"Get on. I'll take you home," Natsu said and Lucy didn't even question it.

Natsu walked slowly to not jossel Lucy awake who fell asleep a few minutes into the walk. Natsu looked up at the stars and could have sworn that the moon was shining brighter than usual. He turned his head a bit to smell Lucy. Even through her perspiration and mud, she still smelt nice to him.

When he finally made it to her house he went in through the window because he didn't want to search for her keys. Once inside the lights inside of the house flooded the entire room and woke up Lucy.

"Home already," Lucy asked groggily.

"Yeah," Natsu said and looked at the man that turned the lights on.

"Put my girlfriend down and quietly leave Dragneel. I can take care of things from here on out," Tomas said and put his pistol back in his pocket.

Natsu did as told and placed Lucy on her bed with putting her in the covers. Natsu flared his nose and bared his teeth. He jumped down and obliterated a tree that was seven feet tall with his Fire magic imagining it was Tomas' face.

"I'm not jealous...maybe a little," Natsu whispered to himself to calm himself down.


A/N: I know such a long time has passed! I lost my outline but found it! I hope that Natsu isn't too out of character. Just a quick update to show that this story is continuing! I did finish I'm Having Another Man's Baby some time ago Yay! I have another Fairy Tail story that I'm cooking up. I'm not sure how it would be received. The next update to this story, I'll have a sneak peek and tell me if you would read it or not. If not it will go to another Fandom story.

Anywho thank you everyone for the continued support for this story and my other Fairy Tail one! Please check out my Inuyasha stories too! You don't need to know the characters from the anime just look at them as characters with names similar to Inuyasha lol.
