Lisanna gave a cheerful sweet smile towards Lucy. "I like the way you made the shape. It's so balanced." Lucy smiled nervously not knowing how to react.

"Thank you."

Lisanna nodded before walking away towards another piece of pottery.

Lisanna was another one of those people Lucy got nervous around. Lisanna looked like a bisque doll. Her pale skin, she had beautiful blue eyes that matched the sky, and she even had snow white hair to match her complexion. Whenever Lucy was around her she felt intimidated. I mean who didn't?

Compared to Lucy, Lucy looked like a potato with eyes. Lucy sighed and closed her eyes.

"Okay. Now let's head into the next room."

The group moved into the other room. It had a few sections for each God and had the most armour though. But most of them were amazing. Lucy felt her nerdiness coming out.

Lucy started to sketch immediately.

"Now this assignment all of you have to search around the room. And look for a creature of some sort. Can someone give me an example?"

"Like satyrs and centaurs. The minotaur, um the hydra, and the classic three headed hell dog cerberus."

Lucy spoke loudly as she continued to draw.

Levy walked up to her next. "You're sure happy." she laughed. Lucy just smiled and continued. Levy watched as she started to sketch out Artemis's wolves.

"Are those wolves?"

"Yep. Artemis's to be exact"

"Pfft. Nerd."

Levy elbowed her softly before the two bursted out laughing.

The tour was done and everyone got to explore the whole gallery for a half hour. Lucy escaped the Greek area of the gallery. As much as she loved it she wanted to see more than just the naked sculptures and paintings of them. She knew that the body was an art form but it got uncomfortable after awhile.

Natsu stood at the gift shop. Bored. Their group was done a bit earlier than the girls. He watched as the crowd of girls started to disperse. Lucy walked fast towards some hallway. Since gray and the others left already he figured to go with her.

"Luce!" Natsu shouted before running towards her. "Oh. Hey Natsu." she smiled and stopped in her tracks. "Where you going?" he asked her. She shrugged her shoulders "Anywhere really. I'm trying to find some paintings or at least some other stuff besides greek mythology."

"Okay good. Can I come? I sort of want to escape that scenery too."

Lucy nodded and smiled. The two then wandered off somewhere. Finally Lucy found the place she wanted to be in. The room was filled of paintings and sculptures. Some were plain some were colourful. Either way it got her blood pumping.

There was a huge canvas that filled the entire wall and shimmered metallic colours. It caught her eye and she stood in front of it. Lucy looked around before touching it. There were staples on it. She gasped and squealed.

"What? What is it?" Natsu asked and stood behind her. "It's made out of staples!" she exclaimed. "Woah" he touched it too. "It says it's even made from a local artist." Lucy smiled brightly.

"These are cool"

"I know right?"

The two looked at each other. Natsu's heart stopped. Lucy smiled and wandered off to look at the other pieces of art. Natsu covered his mouth. He shook his head before following behind her.

"Natsu come look at this one!"

He stood behind her again. This time it was a long canvas. Painted from acrylics and gouche. Millions of colours filled the huge canvas. Lucy felt as if her eyes were blessed at the sight of it since it was so beautiful. Everything made her so excited and thrilled in the gallery she might die from over excitement.

"I wish I could make something like this" she sighed. "You will." Natsu said. Lucy looked at him. Natsu stared at her. Feeling the tension she looked down. Her face going red almost.

"Let's.. Let's go look at these ones over here." she coughed and walked away fast. Natsu ran a hand through his hair before trailing behind her.

"Ooh wait!" Lucy stopped and took off her backpack. "What? Did you lose something?" she dug deep in her bag. Before pulling out her phone. "I wanna take a picture." she smiled and opened the camera on her phone.

"Of us?" He asked and pointed at himself. "Sure! I wouldn't mind. It'd be like.. a reminder of this day." she smiled before walking towards him. "We should take a picture in front of that painting." Natsu suggested.

The two stood in front of the painting. They posed. Natsu smiled and leaned a bit down towards Lucy. He could smell the vanilla scent on her again. Lucy smiled brightly before taking the picture.

She took it. And she looked at it right away. The two of them and the painting showed up on the screen. "Nice." Natsu smiled. "Thanks for the-" she turned her head. His face inches away from hers. Her eyes widened. So did his.

"Picture." she said silently in a whisper. Seconds later she looked away. Her whole body was practically blushing. Her heart raced. Face burning.

Natsu felt his face go hot too. His ears went red. He ran his hand through his hair again.

Lucy was still strange.


The two continued to look at each room and what they held. There was one room of portraits of people. Some looked warped which made Natsu laugh.

"Luce look at this one. One of the eyes are bigger than the other." he burst out laughing. Lucy sighed and smacked him in the arm. "You can't make fun of someone's art! You do realise that someone worked hard on it. " she sat down at one of the many seats that each room held in the centre.

"I didn't say they weren't good." Natsu wiped a tear from his eye and sat beside her. She stared at the painting held on the wall. Natsu did too.

"I hope I can become this great of an artist."

Natsu turned and looked at her "what do you mean?" he asked her. "To have my piece in a gallery". Her eyes still gazing at the paintings. "I wish to create something that.. That people will love. Not just for the way it looks. But.. from the feeling I put into it."

She looked at him. "It's my dream" she smiled. Natsu sat there quietly. Amazed by her words.

"Well let's continue. I want to see everything this gallery has to offer" she laughed and got up. She started to walk away. But stopped once she noticed Natsu was still sitting there.

"Are you coming?" she asked. He shook his head and got up. "Yeah. I'm coming" he scoffed and put his hands in his pockets.

Eventually the two finally seen what the top floor of the gallery had to offer.


By the time they were done they all headed to a different entrance. Which again, was huge. But this time the room held huge tapestries which almost filled the wall. The lady gave a short fact on the tapestries. And even showed them were the greeks cut the tapestries for doors. And eventually sewed them back on.

Lucy sat down at a seat again. Her feet were sore. She rubbed her neck.

"That was pretty cool wasn't it?" Natsu sat down beside her again. She nodded furiously. "Cool isn't even the word to describe it!" she smiled.

"Luckily I even took some photos on the way." Lucy flashed her phone. Natsu did too. "So did I." she smiled and put hers away.

Natsu held his hand out towards her. Lucy stared at him confused. "What?" she asked. "Can I see the sketches you did today? And I know you did them so you can't lie." she sighed. She dug into her bag.

Finding them Lucy handed them to him.

"These are good. How long did they take you?"

"About 5 minutes each one."

He looked at her. "What?" he asked her shocked. His mouth dropped. "I wanted to get as much as I can!" she grabbed them and stuffed them in her bag. "Geez. All I got was to draw zeus and whatever that old man said." He grumbled as he cracked his back. "You sure have one heck of a hand." He told her. She rolled her wrist. Lucy smiled.

The bus eventually arrived. Everyone got on and eventually left the building.

On the bus Lucy sat by herself. She grabbed her phone, bored. And checked all the pictures she took today. Cherishing the small memories she made there.

The last one was of her and Natsu. She stared at it. You could see the emerald green in Natsu's eyes. And his jawline that looked like you'd get a cut from touching it. Just seeing him made her chest tighten. She breathed in and shut her phone off before shoving it in her pocket.

"Hey."

She jumped up startled. Lisanna was leaning over the seat. "You're Lucy right?" she smiled. "Um.. Y-Yeah." she nodded. "You really have talent. Just thought I'd let you know." she winked and grinned. "Thanks. Again.." Lucy smiled softly as she thanked for the compliment.

"Oh yeah. I'm Lisanna" she held her hand out. Lucy grabbed it and Lisanna shook her hand. Her hand was so soft. But surprisingly a bit bigger than Lucy's.

"You already know my name." Lucy smiled. Lisanna giggled.

"Lisanna?"

Lisanna turned around at the sound of her name and let go of her hand. "Sorry. I have to go. My friend needs me. But nice chat Lucy!" Lisanna grinned and disappeared over the seat.

Lucy smiled. Just talking to Lisanna made her heart warm. Despite what Mirajanes says Lisanna was actually really sweet. Even if she hung around people like Gray Fullbuster and other spoiled snobs like him.

When Lucy got home she plopped on her bed. She was tired. She grabbed her phone. And the first thing she saw was the picture of her and Natsu.

Lucy smiled.


It's been a long 3 days for me. But somehow I got 2 chapters in O.O

More to come hopefully. I have a creative streak right now and I'm trying to put it to good.
