A/N: I know my last chapter was short, so now I have a longer one for you guys! Hope you like it!
"Luce~. Luuuuuuce~. Wake up!" My eyes fluttered, arriving at the sight of a certain pink-haired boy beside me.
"Mmmmm...what time is it?" I moaned through a yawn.
"11 o'clock," he replied casually. My head shot up and I looked at him. He's not even ready for school!
"WHY DIDN'T YOU WAKE ME UP?! AND WHY AREN'T YOU READY?!" I yelled.
"Chill! It's the weekend!" he informed while I gave him this death stare. I plopped my head back onto the pillow, returning to my slumber. "Lucy!" he said sternly. I pulled the pillow over my ears and mumbled,
"Never wake me up on a weekend again."
"Awww, c'mon Luce! Let's do something!" he urged. I pushed the pillow back down and sighed,
"Like what?" Then silence for a moment, until finally he spoke,
"I'm still new around here, why don't you show me around," he stated casually. Like a date?! I jumped a bit, pulling the covers over my face to hide the fact that my face was tinted pink.
"O-Ok...can I sleep now?" I yawned, placing my head onto the pillow again until two warm arms began shaking me again. I gave him this sort of death stare when he gave me puppy dog eyes. Nope, nope, nope, I wanna sleep.
"Lucy, please get up? I'm bored. Let's do something," Natsu pleaded. I said nothing but pretended to snore softly. I heard a sigh. "Fine, I guess I'll just join you." My body stiffened. What? I felt the bed lean, and something warm touched my side.
"EEEEEKKK! Natsu, what the hell?" I exclaimed, jumping off the bed.
Natsu got up and smirked at me. "Oh good, you're up now! Go get dressed, we're going somewhere. I rolled my eyes at him but reluctantly got my clothes out of my closet and went to the bathroom.
I walked into the kitchen, searching for Natsu, in a gray tank top and jeans, topped with my black hoodie. A tuft of pink hair caught my eye, finding him scavenging through the pantry for something to eat.
"Hey Natsu," I greeted, earning his attention, "You ready to go?" He turned over to me, with a confused look on his face,
"Are you gonna eat?" he asked. I shook my head. He continued rummaging through the cabinet until he finally pulled out a bag of chips. "This'll do for now, let's go," he said, opening the bag. I nodded, leading us outside.
"Why are we at a pet store?" Natsu asked as he threw away his chip packet. I pushed the door of the pet store, a small ding heard. The heater on the inside warmed me up quick.
"Just wanted to check something out," I stated dryly, not facing him. I speed walked through the story, searching for a familiar face. Finally my eyes landed on a cat, sighing with relief. The cat were both slightly odd looking, the cat having blue fur.
"Still want him?" a sweet voice from the other side of the counter spoke. I looked over, noticing a familiar girl who kept her hat over her face for some reason. Her silvery hair caught my attention. "You haven't come in such a long time, I thought maybe you didn't want them anymore," her voice was just too familiar. I had seen her almost every week, up until the last two month, when I had... considered it. But now, something felt different about her. I nodded hesitantly when a voice spoke from behind me,
"You smell familiar." Natsu moved closer to her, probably frightening the poor girl. She was lucky that I was able to pull him back. She for some reason, sighed in relief, pulling her hat lower. Then, suddenly it hit me. Silvery hair!
"Lisanna?" I asked, searching for her gorgeous blue eyes. She pulled her hands up, waving frantically,
"No, you've mistaken me for someone else!" I kept staring at her with a look that screamed 'I know your Lisanna'. She exhaled in defeat, "Fine, you caught me, I'm so sorry Lucy." I kept staring at her, and now Natsu was giving her this suspicious death glare. She continued, pulling up her hat, "I really sorry for what I did to you," she looked as though she was on the verge of tears. "Just give me a chance to explain," my look still challenged her,
"Talk," I stated sternly. I really didn't want to act to cold to her, it's just that, she had been bullying me for the past 5 months (excluding break). It was really hard to trust someone who had hurt you for so long. She gulped, then continued,
"I'm really sorry for bullying you, it wasn't right. It's just that," her eyes became glassy, "Before you moved her, those same people who I talk to would bully me, and-," she inhaled sharply, "-and I really hated it so much, I would go home after school and cry my eyes out," her lip began to quiver, "B-but then you came, and you were just so quiet. Then I thought if I made fun of you that they would stop making fun of me. So I did and-," she pulled her hands up to her face and started to cry, "I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Then, all of a sudden, I pulled her in for a hug, her tears staining my hoodie, as I rubbed her back.
"It's OK, I forgive you, but can you just do me a favor?" I asked, my voice gentle. She pulled away, her eyes red, a weak smile plastered over her face,
"Of course! Anything!"
"Don't hang out with them anymore, come talk with me," I offered, grinning brightly. Her smile strengthened, but at the same time she looked as though she was about to cry,
"Definitely," she stated, "So anyway, do you wanna buy him?" she asked, still pushing away the tears in her eyes. I shrugged, pushing my hands into my pockets,
"I would if I had enough money." I had been eyeing the cat for as long as I could remember, but I never had enough to buy him.
"How much?" the voice besides me asked. I looked to find Natsu the one who was talking. Lisanna look a bit startled, then responded,
"Since he's been here for so long, he's about 50 dollars, and cat food plus a bed is going to be another 25, and then you'd want a toy which would probably be around 2 dollars...so in total it would be...77 dollars," she finished as Natsu began rummaging through his wallet. I grabbed his hand, stopping his for a second,
"Are you really about to buy a cat for me?" I asked.
"Well of course!" he said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. I glanced over at Lisanna who looked at Natsu for a bit, who had continued searching through his wallet, then at me, then at the both of us, smiling ear to ear. It warmed my heart to see her like this, though I hardly understood why she was smiling. Whatever. "Shit, I only have 40 dollars!" Natsu exclaimed, pulling out two 20s and placing them on the table. I pulled out my wallet, finding a 15 dollar bill and placing it on the counter next to his two 20 dollar bills.
"We're still 12 dollars short," I sighed. "It's fine, maybe some othe-" a sweet voice cut me off,
"Wait! I have 12 dollars right here!" she said, pulling out a ten and two singles and placing it down.
"No! I couldn't take your money!" I exclaimed, pushing the money back into her hand.
"It's fine, consider it payment for all that time that I bullied you, though I doubt it's enough. It's the least a can do," she offered. I was about to protest when she stopped me, "Please! Just take this! I wouldn't be able to bear it if I didn't give you this." I pulled my hand away from hers, allowing her to place the money down.
We ended up walking out with the blue furred cat, a bed, a toy and a ton of fish.
"I still can't believe you bought me a cat just now," I said, pulling the blue kitten closer to my stomach as he pulled his head against it, purring.
"Eh, it wasn't that big a deal," he shrugged, "Now what are you gonna name him?" he asked eagerly. I looked at the cat for a second, and it looked as though he was smiling. I let out a small laugh.
"I think I'm gonna name him Happy." He looked at me, confusion spilling through his features,
"That's a weird name." I glanced at him, then at the blue cat,
"I like it."
(A/N I did it! Happy's in the story now! I really love the original Team Natsu, cuz they're just ADORABLE! Also, Lisanna's not evil! YaY! Sorry, I just hate having her be the villain in most stories, cuz she really is a sweet adorable lil thing, and to have her be the villain in the story felt extremely OOC, not to offend anyone who has her as a villain! Anyway, hope you liked the chapter! BOIII)
