Chapter 3: Hangout Part 1
I don't own Fairy Tail. All rights and everything belong to the creator, Hiro Mashima. Well, I'm back and with a new chapter. I don't have an idea of long this is going to be, but I guess I'll know while I write. Until then, I hope you all continue enjoying this story. Well, on to the next chapter. Enjoy!
(Normal POV)
It's Friday afternoon and Natsu and his friends had just done their first week of the new school year and all they can say is…..
"WHEN WILL CHRISTMAS GET HERE?!"
Natsu, Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal are hanging out at the student lounge playing pool or relaxing on the couches going through things on their phones when Natsu screamed, thus irritating Gajeel, who was sitting next to him.
"Would you just SHUT UP SALAMANDER?! You are annoying the crap out of me." "Yeah, well you annoy the crap out of me every day, metal idiot!" Natsu and Gajeel were at each other faces yelling insults while Gray and Jellal, who were in the middle of finishing their 3rd game of pool, just sighed and shook their heads.
"Natsu, why in the world are you complaining right now? We just finished the first week and now your complaining?!" Jellal said.
"I can't help it. Been doing homework, starting on projects, and what's even worse is that I haven't seen Lucy at all this week."
Before the end of that awesome party, Natsu and Lucy introduced their friends to each other and all were able to get along, well, except that Levy and Gajeel kinda argued for a little while and Juvia wouldn't stop ogling over Gray. At the end of the night, Natsu and Lucy exchanged phone numbers before heading onto the apartments. Ever since then, they've only messaged each other because they didn't have time to see each other on the first week.
"Geez, Pyro, if you're that anxious to see Lucy, then calm down." "Shut it, Popsicle head. I bet you're just as anxious to see Juvia." Gray had a tiny blush on his face, which caused Jellal and Gajeel to laugh.
"Fat chance, Fire Retard!"
"You wanna fight me, Ice head?!"
"Hey Erza."
The second that Jellal said Erza, Natsu and Gray hugged each other while being terrified of getting hurt again. "WE'RE SORRY ERZA, WE WON'T FIGHT, PROMISE!" It turns out, Erza wasn't really there. See whenever Gray and Natsu start fighting, Jellal would sometimes yell out Erza's name out in order for them to stop.
Gajeel actually abused that kind of power and went berserk, yet he was having a blast. He would say Erza 5 or 6 times a day just to see Natsu and Gray act like babies. Natsu and Gray caught his act yesterday, and realized he just kept teasing them. Only that time did Erza really appear and beat the snot out of the two. Now, they're just afraid of hearing the name.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, I swear, you two are the biggest cowards I've ever seen," Gajeel yelled while uncontrollably laughing.
"You be scare too, if you ever fought her," Gray said while getting up.
"Um, Gray, your shirt."
"Dang it, every single time this happens."
"Anyways," Natsu spoke after getting back up. "I'm gonna head on out. I gotta get a couple things done before taking at least tomorrow off. You guys wanna hangout tomorrow?"
"Sorry, I plan on meeting with Erza tomorrow. She says she wants to take me to her favorite cake spots," Jellal said while Natsu and Gray shivered.
"I'm gonna check out the motorcycles around in town tomorrow," Gajeel said.
"I'm gonna be doing homework with Juvia since we're in the same sculpting class," Gray said.
"Oh, that's fine; I'll just talk to you all Sunday then. See ya later guys." Natsu headed off back with a frown on his face.
Natsu was walking on home, thinking about what he was going to do tomorrow. His friends are busy and he doesn't want to go out by himself. As Natsu was about to reach his door, he quickly realized something. "Oh yeah, Lucy. I can't believe I forgot about her. I hope she's free tomorrow."
With that, Natsu scrolled down to Lucys' name to send her a message.
"Hey Lucy, its Natsu. I was wondering if you were free tomorrow. Do you wanna hangout around the town and such?"
Natsu got inside his house and started to unwind there, waiting for Lucys' response. Natsu grabbed a bite to eat, took a shower, got into some clothes, and started on an assignment. 10 minutes later, Natsu gets a response from Lucy.
"I am and that sounds good to me. I need a breather from this week. How's noon sound to you?"
Natsu had a big grin on his face knowing that she wanted to hang out with him.
"Noon sounds good to me. I'll pick you up at your apartment ok?"
"Sounds good to me. See you tomorrow: )."
Natsu was feeling ecstatic about tomorrow. Now the only thing that could make this day better was that he didn't had to do homework for the night. As Natsu got back to work, he wishes he knew what Lucy was thinking.
As Lucy got done with talking to Natsu, she smiled brightly and was giggling as well. She was happy that she was going to see Natsu again. She couldn't help but think that that guy is crazy and fun to be with.
As Lucy was getting ready to turn in for the day, she couldn't help but think what tomorrow would bring for her.
(The Next Day)
It was 9:30 in the morning and Lucy was now waking up. "MmmmmHmmmmm. Man, that was great. Wish I could sleep like that for ages." She got up and did her morning routine: Eat breakfast, write a letter to her family (She knew she could message her mom and dad with a phone or tablet, but she liked writing letters because her mother (who is alive, as well as her dad) preferred writing letters whenever she is away on business along with her husband), took a bath and was now at a difficult part: deciding what to wear.
"Man, what to wear, what to wear." After what seemed like forever, Lucy had finally settled on an outfit of her liking. She is wearing a pink blouse, a white skirt, a black belt, and brown knee length boots. After doing light makeup and putting her hair into a side pony tail, Lucy was ready to go, only she looked at her phone and it said 12:15.
"CRAP, I'M LATE! I HOPE HE"S NOT MAD RIGHT NOW!"
Lucy was now running to the door to see if Natsu was there, much to her relief, when she opened the door, he wasn't there.
"Whew, he's not here yet."
"Whose not here yet?"
"My friend Nats-."
Lucy tensed up when she realized she wasn't alone. So she did what anyone would do: grab the nearest thing closest to her, which was her bat that she always keeps next to the door in case of emergencies, and without hesitation and with eyes closed turned around and whacked the stranger.
"Ouch, why did you do that Lucy?"
Lucy then recognized the voice and when she opened her eyes, she saw her salmon haired friend lying on his back clinging to his head.
"NATSU?! HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?!"
"I came in through the window. You really need to be careful there Lucy. People can just sneak in here while you weren't noticing."
"Oh yeah, says the guy who just did that."
"Good point, but still, dang it hurts."
Natsu sat on Lucys' couch while she put an ice bag on his head.
"Sorry about that Natsu, but next time, tell me when you're here before I knock your brain out."
"Yeah, my head has already had a pounding from Erza this week and she stills scares the heck out of me."
While Natsu was dreading on the slightest thought of the scarlet haired menace, Lucy got a chance to have a good look at him. Natsu was wearing a light black shirt, with navy jeans, brown shoes, and his scarf. Lucy had to admit, Natsu looked great that her face was kinda heating up.
"You okay there Lucy, you look a little red there."
Lucy just shook it off before acting normal again.
"I'm fine. So Natsu, what did you wanted to go see?"
Natsu smiled as he stood up. "I actually want to check out as much as I can since I'm still new around here. Does that sound okay to you?"
Lucy smiled as she got up too. "Sure, I actually wanted to explore the town too. You feeling better to go?"
Natsu gave her his signature grin before responding. "Oh I'm better than okay, I'm fired up here."
Natsu and Lucy shared a laugh before heading out on their day together.
Well, I finally got it finished. It took me longer than I thought. I'll be doing Natsu and Lucys' day together next chapter. And this chapter will be up sooner than this, so it won't be long. Until then, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave a review. Until then, see ya.
