Heyo! Hope you enjoy! I've been working on three Fairy Tail stories. This is one of them and I appreciate the follows, favs, and reviews. ^~^

**Remember: Never play a game against a dragon slayer...You just might lose...**

After Levy had left Lucy's apartment, she plopped down on the couch, lost in thought. Hopefully Natsu doesn't barge in here today. She looked around slowly and locked the door, and then she ran around the apartment, closing and locking the windows. When she sat back down on the couch, she looked at the letters on her desk. Lucy had forgotten to hide them in her drawer when Levy came, but at least she didn't read them. After all, Lucy had many secrets that even Levy couldn't know about.

Like when Lucy was little, she had dropped pasta and it went inside her dress, making her squirm in front of her family gathering. How embarrassing.

Another time, she was walking along the river and the men that told her to be careful watched as she tripped in the water and had swirls in her eyes for about a half hour. It stunned her more than ever before, and yes she could swim, but she was too shocked that she had failed to do so. Lucy ended up getting pulled in by the men and set back on the street, her eyes still swirling.

The blonde girl was a klutz and she knew it. She never denied it. Even when she told her mom in her letters; she laughed at herself while writing about those experiences.

Then there was that kiss Natsu gave her, it made her crave more, but then she corrected herself, saying she didn't like him. He was her friend after all…

Soon her eyes felt heavy, and she had dozed off on the couch, all the memories still floating inside her thoughts. Even Lucy's dream was full of all those embarrassing moments, although it felt like a nightmare to her. Re-living those traumatizing experiences all over again, it was twice as embarrassing as it was the first time.

Lucy yawned and looked at the time, 3:54 PM. She could still go to the guild, a smile played across her lips, and she journeyed toward Fairy Tail.

Lucy groaned and it was her turn. She moved carefully trying to choose the right spot. Natsu smirked and turned to move, giving her the final blow.

"Checkmate."

"Damn it!" Lucy threw the board and chess pieces flew in all directions.

"Don't get so upset, you just started playing."

Lucy scoffed at that comment and practically flipped the table. Never in her life did she expect to lose to Natsu, especially in a game that required tactics and intelligence. Damn him, Lucy thought. The guild members had seen how Lucy threw the board and their jaws dropped all the way to the floor.

"How did Flame Brain beat you Lucy?" Gray looked astonished and disgusted at the same time.

"Lucy, are you planning on getting revenge? After all, your honor has been shattered. I recommend one of my swords." Erza held out a sword with a blaze of fire running down the handle. It looked like it could cut a wall in half. Lucy's eyes widened and she just waved her hand.

"No need to do that Erza." The blonde always thought Erza would stop a fight, not tell someone to stab someone else, but hey, that was Titania we were talking about…

Gajeel smirked, "Bunny-Girl, maybe you should try to beat Natsu at checkers next time." Levy smacked the iron dragon slayer upside the head, "Learn your manners and keep the comments to yourself."

Natsu leaned his back against the chair and propped his feet up on the table, "Oi, Luce, this doesn't mean you'll kick me out of your apartment right? I deserve a reward, after all."

Lucy scoffed again, "The apartment you like to barge in on? Oh, sure, maybe next time you come in there I'll have to push you out the window. Wouldn't that be fun?" She smiled warmly at him, even though her eyes were furious and cold from earlier.

The fire mage grinned like an idiot because of her offer. "Sure Luce!"

You had to be kidding? Who in their right mind wanted to be thrown out a window? Those questions had just been answered for Lucy. She had a lot of work today before she would set his thoughts straight. Maybe punch him a few times…Then kick him a few times…That sounds good.

The celestial mage shouted, "Alright everybody, show's over, carry on with your conversations." And so everyone in the guild went back to their previous activities.

Natsu glanced at Lucy and a smirk appeared on his lips. Wonder what Lucy is going to do? He thought.

Maybe, just maybe, he would be able to have a little fun with her. Being dense was his main façade, that goofy grin made anyone believe he had the mind of a child, but both Natsu and Lucy knew that he hid the smart, yet perverted part of him.

Lucy noticed Natsu's mischievous grin and thought to herself, Lucy, stand your ground, and don't give in. You never know what this pink haired idiot may do next…

Did you enjoy? Hope so! I'll be updating soon! ^.~ Review, Fav, and Follow if you liked it! Or else I'll make Erza defend my honor like in the chapter^-^

Kidding, of course. :3 But anyways, I hope you liked it like a drug. ^~^

Bye!
