"Good morning Lu-chan!" Her best friend exclaimed, startling the blonde slightly.
"Good morning Levy-chan!" She waved over to her group of friends not so far away as they noticed her and walked towards her. Gray currently had only his boxers on (as usually), while Juvia made a fuss over it, and glared at the girls who were staring at her Gray-sama's body. Laughing, the friends greeted each other and chatted for a bit.
"Juvia won these tickets to a nearby water park, so Juvia was wondering if you would like to go with Juvia on Saturday." She pulled out 10 tickets making the girls squeal. "Of course we can go Juvia!"
Gray shrugged and held out his hand. "I guess I have nothing better to do on Saturday anyways," Jellal smiled and took a ticket himself.
"I can make it too," Everyone could go on that day which was a relief, but there were still four tickets left.
"Does anyone have someone else they could bring? I mean it's going to be a waste of four tickets if no one else goes."
"I can bring someone!" Lucy raised her hand, while Levy smirked at her. "You mean someone like Natsu?"
Lucy blushed, and looked away. "So? You're probably going to bring Gajeel," The bookworm blushed, and backed down to the relief of Lucy.
"I can bring someone else as well." They looked over at Jellal and nodded handing him a ticket. "I can bring my little sister along as well." Mira said, taking the last ticket.
They all couldn't wait for Saturday.
Natsu tossed and turned in his bed, unable to sleep yet again. He had been getting little to no sleep since he and Lucy had made up and he didn't know why.
"Friends?"
"Friends."
Confused, he scratched his head roughly and pulled on his hair. Why was Lucy making him feel this way? Didn't she notice by now that he liked her as in like like? He would drops little hints for her, but she would only smile and wave it off. Frustrated, Natsu reached for his phone and scrolled through the notifications. Unexpectedly, he had gotten a message from Lucy. Quickly he opened it.
'Hey Natsu! Sorry if I woke you up.
'Hey Luce! It's alright, I was awake anyways. So, do you need something?'
'Well actually I was wondering if you are free on Saturday.'
'When it comes to you, I'm always free.' He wanted to say, but didn't type it.
'Yeah, why?'
'Well, Juvia got these tickets to a nearby water park so we were all planning to go. Do you think you can make it?'
'Yeah, I'll definitely be there!'
'Great! Anyways, I'm going to be now. Good night Natsu'
'Good night Luce,'
He smiled, and looked at the message fondly. This was a chance to get closer to Lucy, and he wasn't going to miss it. He then closed his eyes, and fell asleep, his dreams of no one else but Lucy.
A few hours later, he was awoken from his dream by his phone. Upset that someone had woken him up from his dream of Lucy, he checked the message. Lisanna Strauss.
His mood was totally killed. He didn't want to talk to Lisanna, but if he didn't she was just going to annoy him more. It wasn't that he hated his childhood friend. It was just that he didn't want Lucy to misunderstand anything like last time. And she had just woken him up from his amazing dream.
He'll just hear what she has to say.

Lisanna laid on her bed, unable to sleep. The only thing on her mind was her childhood friend, Natsu. As a child he had promised her that he would marry her when they got older, but she felt dejected when he had explained to her that at the time he thought 'marriage' was some type of place you eat with friends. She still felt hopeful though.
'Hey Natsu,'
She in fact was actually in love with Natsu. They had been childhood friends, which was probably how she grew to love him in the first place. She would think that he liked her because he wasn't closer to any other girls (or so she thought). Her phone rang, surprising her, but she hastily opened the message.
'Hi. Do you need something?'
Why was he being to flat to her? Maybe she had woke him up...
'Sorry, did I wake you?'
'Yes you did.'
Now she felt bad. She didn't mean to wake him up, she just wanted to talk to him.
'Can I ask you something?'
'Sure, what is it?'
She was hesitant in asking him this, but asking wouldn't hurt.
'Do you like someone?'
Five minutes later, he still didn't respond making her worry.
'Yeah, I do. I'm going back to bed now. Bye.'
Lisanna felt her heart squeeze painfully. He likes someone? She thought for a minute. But then again, he could like her so that was a possibility too. She noticed how rushed he seemed in leaving, and looked at the ceiling. Just who does he like?
The days flew by quickly, as Saturday arrived. By the time Lucy had arrived at the water park, Juvia and Gray were already there. She rushed over to them, her white sundress blowing in the wind. Juvia was dressed in a blue sundress, while Gray was a T-shirt and shorts.
"Hey Gray, Juvia!"
"Yo Lucy!"
"Hello Lucy-san!"
"So are we just waiting for the others to come?" Juvia nodded.
About five minutes later, Levy and her boyfriend Gajeel arrived. Levy was wearing an orange sundress while Gajeel was also in a T-shirt and pants. About three minutes later, Jellal and his wife Erza arrived as well.
"Now we're just waiting for Mira, her little sister, and Natsu."
After she had said that, Lucy was tackled by someone, but she never hit the ground.
"Luce it's so nice to see you again!" He snuggled into her neck making her blush.
"What are you doing Natsu?!" She tried to pull him away but he wouldn't budge. It was only when Erza pulled him off that he actually let go of Lucy. He stood by her afterwards though, and held her arm like a child.
"Oh I think I see Mira!" Levy pointed into the distance where two white haired girls where running towards them. As they got closer, Lucy felt her heart stop, and her grip on Natsu's arm tightened. The painful scene of Natsu and this woman together flashed inside her head making her want to go somewhere to be by herself. She kept it to herself though, her skin paler than normal.
"Luce, are you alright?" Natsu noticed her distress and looked in her direction. His eyes widened as well, his hand tightened around her arm.
"Sorry we're late!" Mirajane let inhaled deeply and pointed to the girl besides her. "This is my little sister Lisanna."
The said girl bowed respectfully and looked up.
"It's nice to meet you all!" Her eyes landed on Natsu, making her jump towards him.
"Natsu! I didn't know you were going to be here!" Gray, Juvia, Levy, Jellal, Erza, and Lucy's eyes widened at the newcomer, and they gulped. This was going to get complicated.
I know in some fanfics they make Lisanna the bad guy, but she's not going to be one in this fanfic. She just acts like that because she doesn't know that Natsu likes Lucy (she's not doing it on purpose). I hope you don't mind the drama, and as usual, sorry for any typos or grammar issues.
