"So this is the amusement park, huh?" Lucy looked around at the roller coasters, the game stands, and the people. It was practically packed with people.

"Why am I here again?" Lucy whined, while Levy rolled her eyes.

"We want to meet your boyfriend, and it's a perfect place to have fun with everyone!"

"He's not my boyfriend!" Lucy denied instantly, while Gray slung an arm around her shoulder. "There's no need to be embarrassed, Lucy." In the back, Juvia was glaring daggers at Lucy for getting too comfortable with her 'Gray-sama'.

"He isn't my boyfriend though!" Gray opened his mouth to tease her again, when Jellal walked over to them. "I think you should stop teasing Lucy, Gray. If she says this 'Natsu' isn't her boyfriend, then he isn't." He calmly said, playing the big brother role in the 'family'.

"Anyways, shall we go in now?" Gray and Jellal went to go pay for tickets, while Lucy, Mira, Levy, and Juvia sat on a nearby bench.

"So, Levy-chan," Levy shivered, at Lucy's menacing tone. "When's your boyfriend coming?"

Levy blushed at her question, and twirled her blue hair between her fingers.

"He should be here soon,"

"Oi, shrimp!" Levy turned around, finding her boyfriend behind them the whole time. "Gajeel!"

The two shared a moment, while Mira was recording the 'Gale' moment. Soon, the boys returned, handing everyone their share of tickets.

"Let's split off into groups!" Mira suggested, taking a clipboard out. "The groups are..."

"Gajeel and Levy."

"Gray and Juvia."

"Jellal and Lucy."

"But Mira, what about you-" Lucy turned her attention to where her friend once stood, to find it empty. She looked around for the others only to find that she was alone with Jellal.

"I guess it's just us, huh?" Jellal nodded, and the two began to walk in some direction.

"No offense and all, Jellal, but why am I paired up with you?" Lucy asked, making Jellal shrug his shoulders. "I thought Mira made so that couples could spent the time with each other, but you're more of like an older brother that a possible boyfriend." Just as Jellal was about to answer her question, a redhead in front of them caught his attention.

"Erza?" He questioned, causing the redhead to look in his direction.

"Jellal, what are you doing here?" She narrowed her eyes, and looked over at Lucy. "And with an attractive girl."

Lucy gulped, while Jellal smiled at the woman he called 'Erza'.

"This is my friend, Lucy. Lucy, this is Erza."

"Erza Fernandes, nice to meet you." She held out her hand, and gave Lucy a suspicious look.

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia; it's nice to meet you, Erza!" The blonde said back, shaking Erza's hand. Just then, Lucy froze in realization. "Wait, Erza Fernandes?" After a moment of silence, Lucy turned her attention to Jellal.

"You're married?!" She screamed, earning looks from strangers.

"Not too loud," Jellal shushed her. "And yes, I am married." Lucy stood there, staring at Jellal like he had grown three heads.

"Let's talk about it over ice-cream."

~X~

Turns out talking over ice-cream was even more awkward for Lucy. While the two love birds were flirting with each other, Lucy was the awkward third wheel witnessing the 'Jerza' moment, or so she called it.

"Umm... I think I'm going to go," Lucy said, before realizing it was impossible to get the attention of the love birds. Sighing, Lucy stood up, and walked away from the two. She decided that she was going to explore the carnival on her own.

~X~

"I'm lost, aren't I?!" Lucy whined, looking all over the place for anyone. Where the hell had she taken a wrong turn? Lucy groaned, before bumping into someone. In an instant, she wrapped her arms around the person and comically sobbed.

"Oh how I miss other humans!"

"Luce?" Lucy looked up at the person, finding Natsu.

"Natsu!" She pounced on him, causing both of them to fall.

"Were you lost, Luce?" Natsu asked, his eyes filled with something Lucy couldn't explain. "N-No!"

"You know you're a horrible liar, right?" Lucy sighed, her shoulders slumped. "Fine, I'm lost."

Natsu let out a breath, before standing up.

"Come on, I'll take you back." He held down his hand, while Lucy looked at him. After a moment, she grabbed his hand, and stood up.

"Okay,"

After a bit of walking, soon enough, Lucy saw people again. Just as Natsu was about to leave, Lucy grabbed his hand.

"Hey, do you want to hang out with me today?" Lucy asked, her face a dark hue of red.

"Sure," Natsu replied, blushing as well.

"Thanks for today, Natsu." Lucy said, hugging the plush dragon that Natsu had won her. They were currently sitting on the Ferris wheel, watching the sunset together.

"I'm happy you enjoyed it, Luce." Lucy began to grow tired, as her head fell onto Natsu's shoulder.

"Ne Natsu," Her voice coated with exhaustion. "I think I might just like y..." She mumbled, but fell asleep before finishing her sentence. After the ride ended, Natsu picked her up bridal style, and walked to where her friends were waiting.

"Is Lu-chan alright?" Levy asked, after seeing her friend in Natsu's arms.

"Yeah, she just fell asleep." Natsu chuckled, gazing down at Lucy's sleeping face. He brushed some hair out of her face, while everyone saw the look in his eyes. Love.

"I'm taking her home now," He announced, before walking away from the rest of the group. When he got to her apartment, he hastily rummaged through her bag, finding her apartment key. After entering her apartment, he carefully set her down on her bed. Losing her warmth, Lucy's hand reached out for Natsu's and pulled him into the bed with her. She snuggled into his chest, making him blush.

After trying to escape her grip, he gave up. Sighing, he wrapped his arms around her waist, and kissed her forehead.

"Good Night, Luce," After a while, his eyes began to grow heavy, as he found himself drifting off into dreamland.

Did you know?

The original color of Natsu's clothing was supposed to be red. However, Hiro Mashima decided to change it to black because he wanted a better contrast between Natsu's fire and his clothing
