A/N: Hope you enjoy!

PREVIOUSLY:

Natsu - "Aye..." he picked Lucy up bridal style and carried her into the staff room, as soon as they were both in the room he heard the door slam shut behind him and a lock click, "You little sh*ts!"

Mirajane - "Sorry Natsu but it's for the best!" he heard her call out from the other side as he lay Lucy down onto the couch, there was no point just sitting there and doing nothing, so he whipped out his phone and began to play a game, every so often he'd hear tables slamming onto the floor and Levy screaming at Gajeel for being so careless.

An Unexpected Couple

Chapter 6 and 7

Half and hour had passed and Natsu and Lucy were still locked in the staff room whilst the others tidied and cleaned the main sitting area. The only difference now was that Lucy was conscious, and the two were sat in an awkward silence, until Natsu said, "I have to admit, twice in one weekend is pretty impressive."
"What do you mean?" She replied, slightly glad the silence was broken,

"Well, in case you forgot, you fainted twice, first time ya fell of a ladder and second time-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know...I got beaten up by that Sting guy..."
"I never took you for a fighting type,"

"Well, I don't normally fight, but...he was one of the guys who destroyed the prom hall, I should have known not to mess with him..."

"Honestly...it was pretty brave of you-"

"I don't need your sympathy, y'know...I might not be able to handle myself all the time, but I'm also not a piece of china that'll break if you touch it."

"What I was going to say was that no ones stood up to any of Sabertooth like that, we mainly ignore them in hope they won't pick fights with us."

"I was only standing up on behalf of Fairy Tail, besides it's not like I picked to fight Sting...Minerva just called him over,"

"Well, I don't want to see you hurt like that again..."

"What?" Lucy blushed slightly but looked down before Natsu saw,

"Have you seen yourself? You're covered in bruises and you have a few cuts,"

"Cuts?"

"Well, they might not be cuts, but you have a bit of blood on you legs and arms, so my guess is that a window smashed and a piece of glass got caught on you."

"Oh...right," there was another short silence till Natsu stood up and made his way over to a green box hanging on the wall, "What are you doing?"

"I'm getting the first aid box, y'know to sort out ya injuries..."

"Oh, yeah..." after retrieving the box, he sat down beside Lucy and began unravelling fresh bandages from the first aid pack, "Thanks..." she mumbled

"Eh...it's nothing..." another uncomfortable silence came, which was once again broken, this time by Mirajane, "Hey guys," She began as she unlocked and opened the door, "Sorry we took so long, but we're done now!"

"Okay..." The two teenagers stood up, Natsu packed away the first aid box whilst Lucy walked over to Mirajane asking her where her belongings were, "They're on the counter, oh and we borrowed your phone by the way."
"YOU USED MY PHONE? BUT HOW IT HAS A PIN ON IT!"

"Your pin, is easy to guess y'know, when your name is four letters long, guessing it isn't hard,"
"How do I know you're not trying to trick me?"

"Your pin is '5829',"

"What did you do on my phone any way?"

"Oh...just texted your parents, which reminds me – you're coming for a sleepover at my house later with the girls!"

"I seriously need to change my pin..."

"Anyway...before we go to my house we all need to get our stuff, but you don't look like you're able to walk so I can drive you if you want,"

"Eh...I don't mind, but I can't be bothered to walk far so yeah, okay..."

"Cool, get your stuff together and meet me outside," After Gathering her belongings and checking they hadn't ruined her life by sending a text to someone on her phone, she walked outside to find Mirajane waiting for her, "You ready?" She asked, Lucy replied with a quick nod of her head, the two girls walked towards Mirajane's car – a small, light mint Mini cooper, after the short journey to Lucy's house was over, the blonde got out the car as Mirajane called out; "I need to collect Lisanna from Bickslow's house, they were having a movie night,"

"Okay, see you later!"

"Bye," and with that Mirajane drove off, the blonde opened the door to her house, after greeting her parents she walked into her room and started filling travel bag with essentials, such as: a phone charger, sweets and of course...a ONESIE! Lucy had a light pink one covered in mini Plues, Plue was a character from a story her mother read her when she was a child, it was called 'Key of the Starry Heavens' , the book tells the story of a little girl and her pet called Plue (Who is a small, white, snowman-looking dog) who looking for six special keys in the hope that they would bring her happiness. However, her quest only caused those around her to suffer...(A/N: Is it me or did that sound really dark and dramatic?) "And...I'm done!" she said to herself as she zipped up her bag, the blonde picked up the bag and returned downstairs, in the kitchen she saw her mum and dad, the teen said her temporary goodbyes and walked outside to wait for Mirajane. Out of the corner of her eye, Lucy saw four boys, they looked around her age, one had raven hair, another had long, messy black hair, and the final two had blue and pink-ish, salmon hair, clearly it was Gray, Gajeel, Jellal and Natsu, but what were they doing together? She heard small snippets of their conversation, it was mainly Natsu shouting at Gajeel (Who was dragging him along the ground by the back of his jacket) "Hey! Lemme go will ya?!" or "Where the hell are you guys taking me?!" then Gajeel replying with something like "Shut up, will ya?" or "You'll find out where we're taking you when we get there.", honestly it was like a comedy act, the two were almost always fighting ever since they first met, there wasn't one moment when they weren't fighting, the same situation applied with Gray as well, Natsu just didn't seem to mix well with the others, but the fights were 'friendly' fights (if that makes sense). They appeared to be leaving Gray's house (Which is only a few houses down from Lucy's) with several bags – one each, they seemed to be heading towards Lucy, she called out to them: "Hey Guys! What are you doing here?"

"Not much we're going 'round Jellal's house for a Call of Duty marathon." Gray replied,

"Sooooooo, you're having a sleep over?"

"Technically, yes...but not a girly one with make up and pink stuff."
"So a sleep over is, by default, girly?"

"Well, duh..." Gajeel butted in,

"So are you saying that makes me girly?"

"I guess?"
"Oh...and what, may I ask, do you mean by girly?"

"Well, uhhh, princessy?"

"And what does 'princessy' mean?"

"Umm...weak? Spoilt?-"
"Let me stop you right there, Gajeel. So you think Erza is weak?"

"Well, no...She's probably not attending your little sleepover."

"I'll have you know that she is and so is Juvia, Mirajane and Levy."
"Okay, okay, I get your point, not all girls are girly..."
"Thank you, and I'll be telling Levy about our conversation..."

"NO! Please don't we both know she'll kill me..."

"Which is exactly why I'm telling her..."
"What're you trying to say?"

"Oh nothing...nothing,"

"If you two don't mind can we get going now?" Questioned Gray as he returned to the conversation,

"And let me go Gajeel...my jackets getting really dirty..." Natsu begged, still on the ground being held by his jacket,

"Ooh, I didn't know that you cared so dearly for your clothes? Hmm... let me think...pink hair and caring so much for his clothes? Natsu...are you g-"

"OH HELL NO!"

"You suuuure?"

"I'm sure!"

"Don't worry Gajeel he's not he likes Lucy!" Mirajane had arrived, she drove her car, parked it and walked towards the group, "Sorry I'm late, there's been an accident by the bakery, so Erza might be a bit more uptight than normal..."

Lucy - "Oh god...good luck to you all,"

Gajeel - "Why us?"

Lucy - "You' are the ones usually getting into fights..."

Mirajane - "I can't argue with that!"

Gray - "Well, we should probably get going,"

Jellal - "My house is only a few blocks away,"

Lucy - "Bye!"

Mirajane - "See you tomorrow!"

Lucy - "Tomorrow? I completely forgot that tomorrows Monday...why are we even having a sleepover?"

"No reason, but I left Lisanna in the car and she's probably going to get pretty annoyed if I leave her in there..."

"Okay," The two headed towards Mirajane's car, Lucy took a seat in the back, whilst Lisanna and Mira took there places in the driver and passenger seat , "Hi Lisanna! How're you!" Lucy asked, trying to sound friendly

"Fine, thanks, You?" Lisanna replied sounding grumpy but also trying to sound happy she was there,

"Listen," Mirajane began "I know you two aren't on the best terms but pleease try and get along tonight!"

Lucy - "Lisanna, I don't want to cause trouble, I want to be friends, so-"

Lisanna - "I know what you're going to say, but it might be best not to talk to me..."

Mirajane - "Lisanna! She's our guest! Be nice," the car drove on and the three were sat in an uncomfortable silence, Lucy had a few thoughts on her mind...

FLASHBACK

A thirteen year old Lucy stands in a hall way, surrounded by other students, walking past and minding their business, she was putting books in her locker, as she turned around a boy with salmon hair skated past her on a skate board, as he went past he knocked multiple folders out her hand, "HEY!" she yelled as he continued to skate off, "Ugh...some people just don't care, do they?" she mumbled to herself as she started to pick up the folders and papers that flew out of her hands and that were scattered over the floor, suddenly a girl her age, with short, white hair began to help her pick up the papers, "Thank you, but you don't need to..."

"It's okay, I insist!" the girl replied to Lucy "I'm Lisanna by the way!"

"I'm Lucy," The blonde stood up

"Are you new here? I have to admit...I haven't see you around before,"

"Yeah, I started today, I was actually on my way to the principals office once I was done with my locker,"

"Oh, so I'm guessing you don't know where anything is do you?"

"No, but he did say something about a tour later," as she said that the bell rang signalling the beginning of school,

"Well, I better get to class, wanna meet me at lunch?"

"I'd love to, see you later!" The two friends were practically stuck together, until Lucy joined her family on a year long business trip...

TIME SKIP TO 6 MONTHS LATER

"Sorry Lisanna, but I'll be back before you know it!" Lucy apologized, as she dropped her bags and pulled Lisanna into a hug,

"But I'll be alone! You're my only friend!"

"But...you're so nice and pretty, it won't be hard to make new friends!"

"And I'll miss you!"

"I'll write to you every single day...well not every day but every single week!"

"O-okay..."

"Lucy! It's time to go!" her mother called,

"I promise I'll be back soon! And Mirajane will keep you busy!" the blonde clambered into a car and began her journey to the airport

"B-bye..." Lisanna sobbed, she was alone...but Lucy couldn't stay she had to do what her parents told her, besides, where would she stay it was too much trouble to ask Lisanna's family to look after her for a year. But, Lucy kept her promise and wrote to Lisanna once a month, however one month into the trip, Lisanna stopped sending letters...

TIME SKIP TO 12 MONTHS LATER

The Heartfilia family climbed out their car, each one holding a bag of some sort to carry into their house, as soon as the unpacking was finished, Lucy was the first person out the door and she ran all the way down to the Strauss house, the second she got there the blonde knocked on the door, then Mirajane answered, "Oh hello Lucy! I didn't know you were back!"

"We returned a few hours ago, I had to unpack and stuff...but is Lisanna home?"

"No, she's out with some friends-"

"Oh! Okay, but I'm glad she did make some new friends she was extremely sad when I left,"

"Well...there not exactly then friends type, but at least they're there for her...but did you want to come in and have some thing to eat or drink?"

"Umm, yes please!" Mirajane let the blonde in and the too had an hour long conversation, then Lucy left and their lives had returned to normal, but not for much longer..."

TIME SKIP TO A WEEK LATER

It was good to be back, the school was just normal, people fighting – literally, physical fighting – kicking, punching...there was a few people with a bottle of beer in their hand (that was usually Cana) and there was always someone breaking up fights (that was usually Erza) but a lot had changed in Lucy's absence, in the corner there were a group of bullies, one with familiar salmon hair, one with extremely familiar white hair and one with short purple hair...they were bullying a small girl with short blue hair. When the bullies finally cleared she ran over to the girl, "Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine..." She replied as she brushed the dust off her skirt,

"Do you mind me asking who was bullying you?"

"I think their names are Natsu, Lisanna and Kinana..."

"Lisanna?"

"Yes, my names Levy my the way!"

"I'm Lucy,"

TIME SKIP TO A MONTH LATER

Lisanna and Lucy hadn't talked in months, they both had new friends, Lucy had Levy and Lisanna had Natsu and Kinana, one school day, everything was normal, Lucy was putting her spare books in her locker, as she turned around she noticed someone, someone familiar, that someone was... "Lisanna?"

"Yeah that's me you gotta a problem?"

"It's me! Lucy,"

"Oh yeah I remember you, you're the girl that left me just over a year ago..."

"I'm still sorry, but why did you stop sending letters?"

"I got real friends...not the type that leave you alone for a year."

"I didn't have a choice! If I could of then I would've stayed..."

"Well I'm off to spend time with real friends...bye," Lisanna walked off with a smirk on her face.

A FEW DAYS LATER

Natsu – the boy with salmon hair had a plan...to get revenge for his girlfriend – Lisanna (Yes Lisanna was his girlfriend) it was that blonde girl that made her suffer, even if he hardly knew Lisanna at the time, she was still Lisanna. Lucy was there, walking along the corridor 'This is going to be easy...' he thought 'she's so weak..." he walked up to her and asked her one simple question; "Why did you leave her alone for a year?"

"Her? Oh, you must mean Lisanna. I didn't have a choice."

"Didn't you?" He pinned Lucy to the wall with his arms either side of her head trapping her,, his face close to hers, just as he was going to knee her in the stomach behind him Lisanna and Kinana, "Natsu? What're you doing?" Lisanna asked

"It's not what it looks like..." He suddenly realised their position, anyone could've mistaken it for something else...

"Well it looked like it to me," Lisanna threw a punch right at his face causing him to stumble backwards,

"HEY! Listen, all I was doing was going to beat her up, y'know a knee to the stomach a punch to the face,"

"It doesn't matter, I know what I saw, that's why I'm breaking up with you..."

"I'm serious, it's not like that!"

"And with her?" Lisanna stormed off with her eyes prickling, whilst Kinana followed behind her.

"It's you're fault!" Natsu shouted at Lucy "If you didn't leave her I wouldn't have tried to get revenge!"

"That happened a year ago, I didn't have a choice so why can't you back off and leave me alone." Just as Lucy was turning he placed one hand on her shoulder, "What do you want?"

"Don't talk to me or Lisanna ever again,"

"I wasn't planning to." after he released his grasp, the blonde walked off.

TIME SKIP TO 2 YEARS LATER

"Which leaves Lucy and Natsu, you too need to fix the prom decorations," Makorav continued
"What? Sir why him?" Gasped Lucy
"Well, I thought it would be a suitable punishment, the halls open from the end of school till seven, you're dismissed"
The five walked out, Natsu walked away quickly, "Ugh, out of all people, Makorav chose him," Lucy complained
"Sorry Lu, but call any of us if you need help," Levy apologized
"Yeah, no one should have to work with him," Gray said as Lucy started repeatedly banging her head on the wall,
"Don't worry about it your it into be for long," Erza said as she patted Lucy's shoulder sympathetically The bell rang soon after that and they all went to their next lessons, that lesson seemed longer as well, it was probably because she was dreading having to work with Natsu, 'He looked familiar maybe...no, it couldn't be, was he really Lisanna's ex?' she thought as she continued to work.

END OF FLASHBACK

They continued with the car journey, still in the awkward silence, after minutes of driving, they reached Mirajane and Lisanna's house, the three climbed out the car, Lucy carried her bag to the front door as Mirajane took out her keys and opened the door and Lisanna left them to go to her room, Mirajane called out "Hi everyone I'm back!" inside she found Erza polishing swords, Juvia making a scrapbook about her and Gray and Levy reading, yep things were normal, "Wait a minute...WHERE DID THAT SWORD COME FROM?" Lucy asked when she saw Erza,

"Well, that's Erza for ya!" Levy replied, after unpacking and changing into their onesies the five sat down and began a game of truth or dare.

Mirajane - "So, Levy truth or dare?"
Levy - "Oh god...why me?" she mumbled "Um...dare..."

Lucy - "Well, that was a mistake..."
Mirajane - "I dare you too...ooh! I know! On Lucy's phone-"

Lucy - "WHY MY PHONE?"

Mirajane - "On LUCY'S phone, post the most embarrassing photo you can find and post it on Instagram for EVERYONE to see..."

Lucy - "HOW'S THAT FAIR? THE DARE'S SUPPOSE TO BE SOMETHING HARD FOR THEM TO DO NOT THEIR FRIEN!"

Levy - "Sorry Lu, a dare is a dare. Now give me your phone." she held out her hand in request for the blonde's phone.

Lucy - "OH HELL NO!" Erza and Mirajane nodded at each other then tackled Lucy whilst Levy reached for her bag and took out her phone, the picture she chose was a picture that the blue-nette remembered taking, Lucy had just waken up after a sleep over, her blonde hair was sticking up everywhere, not to mention at the time Lucy had A LOT of spots. She posted the photo with the caption: 'Just woke up, damn I hate puberty...'

Lucy - "Levy...I am literally going to kill you,"

Levy - "Oh yeah, I'm keeping your phone until I know that you won't delete it..."

Lucy - "WHAT THE HELL? That's so unfair..." she sat back down and hugged her knees,

Erza - "Well, now that's over, Juvia, truth or dare?"
Juvia - "Juvia chooses...truth..."

Erza - "Okay then, is it true that you used to like Gajeel?" a sly grin appeared on her face,

Juvia - "WHAT THE-? No! Juvia has only ever had eyes for Gray-sama!"

Lucy - "Gray-sama?"
Juvia - "DON'T CALL HIM THAT, ONLY JUVIA CAN CALL HIM GRAY-SAMA!"

Lucy - "All I was going to ask is when you started calling him Gray-sama?"

Juvia - "THAT'S NONE OF LOVE RIVAL'S BUISNESS!"

Lucy - "Okay, okay..."

Mirajane - "Well now that's sorted, Lucy, truth or dare?"
Lucy - "This is going to be a mistake, but I really can't be bothered to do anything..." She mumbled "Truth..."

Mirajane - "YEEESS!" she squealed "Is it true you like Natsu?"
Lucy - "WHAT THE HECK? NO!"

Mirajane - "You suuuure?" a blush appeared on Lucy's face,

Lucy - "I'm quite sure!"

Levy - "Really, because your face tells us otherwise," the blue-nette pointed at the pink across her cheeks and nose,

Lucy - "Wha?"

Mirajane - "Oh c'mon...tell us, you can trust us,"

Lucy - "Honestly...I don't know, but even is I did it's not like my dad would let me date him,"

Levy - "He doesn't have to know!"

Lucy - "Trust me when I say he'd find out a week later... wait a minute...I DON'T EVEN LIKE HIM!"

Mirajane - "Yeah, yeah what ever you say..." The group of five continued playing into the night...

MEANWHILE AT THE BOY'S SLEEPOVER...

"Do you mind telling me what's going on?" Natsu questioned,

"You're losing that's what, seriously, have you ever played Call of Duty?" Gajeel replied

"No I haven't actually, because unlike some people, I have a job." the pink-ette continued twiddling his thumbs on his controller,

"No way...you have a job? Why?"

"None of your business, thank you very much."

"Oooooh salamander's got sass..." Gray entered,

"Shuddap..." the four were playing until midnight, then they swapped to black opps, only stopping for eating, drinking or use of the restroom...it was around 6'O clock that they stopped, then they just chatted until they eventually fell asleep.

THE GIRL'S SLEEPOVER – 3AM (Time skip backwards)

Three hours later, two out of the five were asleep – that would be Erza and Mirajane, Juvia was continuing with her scrapbook and Levy and Lucy were whispering about a book they recently read, it was called 'A fateful encounter', it's a story about two lovers who have known each other since birth but one was suicidal and killed himself, yep it was a Great book...then Lucy had an idea "Shall we have a go of human buckeroo on Erza?" she whispered

"Human Buckeroo?" Levy replied confused,

"Yeah, y'know, when you place random objects on someone that's asleep and if they wake up on your turn then you loose, that make sense?"

"Yeah but it's either the devil or the demon."

"Devil."

"Are you fricking crazy?"

"Yes."
"She's going to kill us."

"I like to live my life on the edge,"

"Soooo, you'll date Natsu?"

"What the? No! I never said that!"

"You said you liked to live life on the edge, and you also said you're dad would kill you if you went out with anyone, sooooo-"

"Levy, I never said I liked Natsu,"

"You said you didn't know, so I'm just taking it as a yes!"

"Just shut up and can we play the game?"

"Changing the subject? Ooh smart...but okay..." the two began placing random objects, such as: hair brushes or stuffed toys, they kept going for half an hour until Erza twitched slightly, and after seconds woke up, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?"

"Well, um...it was Lucy!" Levy stuttered

"HEY!"
"Sorry Lu, but it's true..."

"I…...uhhh, I can't argue with that..." Lucy sighed

Erza - "So, it was you..."

Lucy - "Yes...but Levy helped me- wait a minute, why are you mad, we just woke you up."

Erza - "BECAUSE I was having the most amazing dream!"

Lucy - "Oh great..."
Erza - "It was about a shop that sold the most amazing strawberry cake for free! And I was the...QUEEN OF CAKES!"

Lucy - "I think she's finally lost it..."

Levy - "It could be worse..."
Erza - "AND JELLAL WAS THE KING OF CAKES...IT WAS AMAZING!" stars now filled her eyes,

Levy - "And she's officially lost it."

Lucy - "Hey Erza, perhaps you should go back to sleep."

Erza - "Very well, I shall punish you in the morning." the red haired teen turned around and fell asleep extremely quickly,

Lucy - "I think I'm going to bed,"

Levy - "Okay, and one last thing,"

Lucy - "Yeah,"

Levy - "Do you like Natsu?"

Lucy - "Levy Mcgarden, go to sleep and my answer to that question is no!"

Levy - "Okay, okay...good night..." Lucy took her place on an airbed on the floor, whilst Levy walked over to a sofa and the two slept.

IN THE MORNING

As the sun rose, Mirajane walked in with a tray of pancakes – a plate each, as she entered the other four woke up, "Wake up everyone! We've got school in two hours!"

"WHAT THE HECK? WE HAVE SCHOOL?" Lucy yelled,

"Yeah silly! It's Monday!"

"WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?"

"Well, you could've checked your phone..." Levy suggested

"Are you forgetting that you took my phone?"

"Ohhhh yeah, sorry about that, here it is," Levy handed Lucy her phone who instantly went to delete the photo but first she saw a few comments under the picture:

Cana Alberona Wow, didn't think you'd be brave enough to post that, but imma go make it viral!

Laxus Dreyar If you come in my lesson like that I will literally kick you out!

Gray Fullbuster I'm guessing this was a dare, there's no way you'd post that

Gajeel Redfox Wow bunny-girl looks even worse when she wakes up

Laki Olietta Lucy, if I were you I'd delete this.

'Okay, first of all why is my teacher commenting on my post? And I am going to KILL Levy...'

Lucy Heartfilia I promise you this was a dare! Levy posted this because Mirajane dared her to and Laxus why are you commenting? I didn't even know you followed me. LaxusDreyar CanaAlberona GrayFullbuster GajeelRedfox LakiOlietta

Laxus Dreyar That's Mr Dreyar to you and I only follow you because your Mirajane's friend.

After sorting her problems with the commenters she began to get ready for school, then she realised that she didn't bring spare clothes, but it didn't matter to much Lucy could just wear the clothes from the day before. After getting ready and eating breakfast (by then it was an hour still school) the group of girls packed away their bedding.
