Lucy sighed. How did it end up like this?
"Marco!" She called.
"Polo!"
She turned around. "Marco?"
"Polo." She heard in the distance.
Dammit.
"Marco!"
"Polo!"
She tsked. His was starting to get on her nerves.
One little peek won't hurt right..
She started to reach for the blindfold on her face.
"Nuh uh uh Lucy. No peeking." Natsu said swimming past her.
Dang it. So close.
She could just imagine the smirk on his face
That freaking smug bastard. Taunting her..
She sighed.
Alright lucy lets get into gear. You are NOT buying anyone pizza.
"MARCO!" She yelled listening for the noises of the water.
She heard a few splashes nearby and the sound of someone swimming.
"Polo!" She heard a voice say nearby.
Got'cha.
"Marccooo!" She smiled as she swam towards that person and touched their leg.
She took off the blindfold.
"Ha! You're it." Lucy smiled at Gray.
"Tcch."
Gray tsked and snatched the blindfold from her.
She looked around. Natsu and the others were nearby.
"Marco!" She heard Gray say.
Oh shit...
She better get away from him or she'll be 'it' again.
"Polo!" She said swimming towards Levy.
Gray grinned. "Marco!" He said catching up.
Levy's eyes widened as she saw the two coming closer.
"Polo." The two girls screamed.
"Marco." He smiled as Levy swam out of his reach.
Lucy ducked underwater, hoping that he'd swim by.
She let the cool moistness of the ocean take over her, and thought about sighing in bliss. But then she remembered she was underwater..
She womdered if it was safe to re-surface yet.
She waited awhile before she came up again.
"Marco!" She heard in the distance.
"Polo."
She sighed in relief, taking in the fresh air.
"Marco..." Someone whispered in her ear.
She was about to scream as they covered her mouth.
"Nwatsu!" She said looking behind her.
He shushed her, grin on his face.
"Sowwy." She mumbled.
She sighed in relief. She homestly thought that Natsu was it just now, and that she'd have to be it again...
"Marco!" Erza said now blindfolded.
Oh. It seems Erza was tagged by Gray. Haha.
"Polo!" They both said as Erza suddenly swam rapidly towards them.
They shivered and split up quickly.
"Marco!" Erza said determined to tag someone else.
"P-polo!" Lucy answered meekly.
Erza smiled and started to swim towards Lucy.
Lucy squeaked and swam towards the nearest person.
Why did it always have to be her?
She smiled as she recognised that person.
"Marco!" Erza said getting closer.
"Polo!" Lucy said hidng behind the person.
"Got'cha!" Erza said touching they're shoulder.
She took off the blindfold and blushed.
"J-Jellal." She said weakly as the bluenette turned red.
"Hi..."
They looked at each other for a few seconds.
Erza laughed nervously and gave him the blindfold.
Lucy took her chance and swam away.
She saw Romeo and Wendy hiding together and she gave a small nod their way.
Romeo nodded back as Wendy blushed.
Lucy mouthed the words. 'Ooh, kill em'
As Wendy turned redder.
Lucy laughed.
"Marco!" Jellal said.
Crap.
"Polo." Everyone said.
Lucy swam past a few of her other friends until she spotted Natsu again.
He smiled as he saw her and swam to her.
"Yo!" He whispershouted greeting the blonde.
"Yo..." Lucy smiled.
They stayed silent for a bit.
"Marco." They heard Jellal say.
"Polo!"
"Marco."
"Polo!"
"Maaaaaaaaarrrrrcccccooooooooo." Jellal sang.
"Polo." Lucy laughed.
Jellal raised an eyebrow and looked their way.
Lucy covered her mouth. Dang it.
Jellal started to swim their way.
"Marco."He said.
"Polo." Natsu, and a terrified Lucy said.
She nudged Natsu and pulled on his arm.
"Natsu! He's coming! We gotta move!"
"I know." Natsu said wih a pokerface.
"Marco!" Jellal smiled as he heard their voices.
"Polo." Natsu said.
Lucy squeaked as she tried to pull Natsu with her, but he didnt budge.
"Marco." Jellal said as he touched Natsu.
Jellal smiled as he gave him the blindfold and started to swim away.
Natsu grinned evilly and turned to Lucy.
He leaned in really close to her and smirked.
"Marco."
Lucy shrieked and started to swim away.
Natsu easily catch up to her, and seeing the look on her face right now was really funny to him.
"Marco." He smirked as he swam behind her.
"Polo." Lucy squeaked as she tried to swim faster.
Dang it he's right behind her!
Then...there's only one solution!
Lucy took a deep breath and dived underwater.
Hopefully this trick will work again..
She waited awhile befors re-surfacing.
Huh?
Where is he?
...
...
Maybe the trick worked!
She felt two hands wrap around her waist and pull her in a warm embrace.
"Marco." Natsu whispered in her ear.
"Kyaa!" She blushed as Natsu laughed and let her go.
He put the blindfold on top of her head. "You're it again Lucy."
"N-no fair! You only chased me!"
"Because it was fun." He shrugged.
Lucy sighed. "Well then I wanna tell you something first."
She motiomed for him to come closer as he leaned in.
She splashed some water in his face and touched him yelling 'Marco', before swimming away.
Natsu tsked as he wiped the water out of his face.
He'll het her back later..
In the end, Gray was the loser and had to -unwillingly- buy pizza for everyone.
So now they were just sitting at the beach, talking, laughing and telling stories.
Lucy smiled as she watched her friends get along with each other.
How nice...
"Luce." Natsu said tapping her on her shoulder.
She looked up at him and blushed. When did he get there?!
"H-hai?"
"I'm going for some ice cream. You wanna walk with me?"
He held out his hand.
"Um, sure." She said grabbing his hand as he pulled her up.
Lucy blushed redder as her friends smiled smugly at her.
She's seriously going to kill them later. Although she probably won't in the end...
Maybe she'll just harass Levy to compensate for it...but meh.
She looked up at Natsu.
And here they are.
On a walk together.
Alone.
Just the two of them.
Two.
Dos.
Alone...
She blushed.
Alone.
She imagined the word rolling off of her tongue as she pronounced it.
She balled up her fist.
Yosh Lucy! This is your chance! Your gonna make the first move!
Somehow!
It'll probably take a miracle though!
:D
"Lucy." Natsu said.
She looked up. "What is it-"
Her eyes widened as she felt something on her lips.
She turned red.
Natsu's lips...
Holy crap.
'HE JUST FLIPPIN KISSED HER SJFHABDIQJDBDKWIDNWNCJFMFMCMQKQJSNANSJCWITHTHEPUDDINGSFKSKFHSKEBACONBACONBACONBLARGHSJAJ!'
The next thing Lucy knew was that she blacked out.
