Author's Message: Please read the message at the bottom of this chapter as it contains kinda important information about the future of this fict.
Edit: This is the finalised version of this chapter, as I was in a rush to upload it yesterday. And so I'm going to delete the previous chapter and upload this in turn. Parts have been changed, but nothing drastic that should change the outlook of this chapter.
ENJOY!

Still holding his rough hands in her soft ones, they sprinted through another alleyway which lead out to an open area which was covered in thousands of people all patched around, outside the stadium where Lucy Heart was going to perform. Natsu's jaw actually dropped at the vast amount of people who were actually gathered for the concert. He knew that she was popular but he was not one to really attend these events anymore and had never known a celebrity to gather such a crowd. The women in the shades glanced at her phone.
"Oh, no. I'm going to be late." She muttered. Natsu glanced at her confused. From what he knew, the concert was supposed to start in forty-five minutes and it seemed that she must have been there for the concert as well. With her leading him towards it and staying with him and what not. Still holding his hands.
"Come on," She ordered, dragging him through the crowds of people.
"Hey watch it!"
"Sorry!"
"HEY!"
"Excuse me!"
"What the hell!"
"Sorry, dude!" Both Natsu and the not so undercover women, made their way through the densely packed crowds, taking turns to apologize with each bump, push and shove they contributed too. Now coming to the end, Natsu's eyes widened at huge line. Waiting really wasn't his game.
"Oh crap, we're going to have to wait in line," Natsu grumbled, eyeing the long line which was spread across by polls with velvety straps. Remembering that he was from the Magnolia times, she turned to him.
"Don't worry about it." She told him, frantically glancing around. They were starting to get glances and looks again. And to her, this was very bad.
"Lu-chan!" Someone shouted over the crowd.
'Thank god…'
The women spun turned around with Natsu in toe and was greeted by a small blue haired women waving her hands furiously at her.
She must have known the blue haired girl as both where smiling at each other and explained why he was currently being dragged towards her. The blue haired girl stopped smiling as they approached her and glanced at their hands in-between them and raised an eyebrow in question.
"Would you like to introduce me to him?" She was a little confused, glancing at their hands which seemed to have played a bridge between each other. Realiaseding the situation, she screamed which was folloed by the shoutting of "Lucy Kick!" which had smassing her foot into his sstomack. A startergy she used when people where way to close for her comfort. He flew back and lannded to only jump right back with an angry fist waving in the air.
"What the hell!" He barked!
"Oh my god! I'm Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" She apologized furiously, bowing her head with every sorry. The blue haired girl mealy watched, amused at the scenario playing in front of her. The apologising girl, reached out her hands in order for him to take it. He grasped it – a mischievous gleam in his eyes. He pulled her down!
She shirked falling to the ground. Natsu seemed to have found this insanely amusing.
"HAHAHAHA!" He laughed. "You look so stupid with that face" he stated, wiping the tears out of his eyes. She was currently glaring at him, the bottom of her face scrunched in anger, thinking of ways to kill this stranger. However much she liked to see them continue their amusing interaction, she was getting a little impatient with her currently racing against time.
"Ok, as much as I think your babies will be cute, this is no time for flirting." The pink-haired man immediately stopped laughing, confused. The women in shades, on the other hand, was blushing furiously at the statement.
"Levy!" she protested. She just sighed. Natsu got up first and reached out to the women beside him calling for a truce. She glared at him one last time before accepting it and picking herself up.
"We have to be going," Levy said walking away and pulling the lady with her towards some backdoors. Natsu just stared at them dumbly, wondering if they were VIP or something. The weirdo with the nice smelling perfume looked back with a polite smile.
"Just walk to the front entrance and show them your badge, they will know what to do!" She yelled before being pulled away inside the stadium through the back entrance. Natsu glanced down at his card and then at the other entrance and made his way towards it with a small smirk adorning his face.
"Too bad..." He muttered.
'Weirdo…'
***SolidWhiteGekko***
If looks could kill, the notepad which Natsu was writing on would have burst into ashes, only for the ashes to then disintegrate into tiny particles which would then be followed by them exploding out of the universe entirely.
If someone were to wonder if he was writing an angry letter to the authors who failed to have his ship sail, they would usually not be mistaken. But for him, the possessed look meant that he was in a state of pure thought, as he jotted down details upon details about the concert which he could use to base his report on.
. The crowd were wailing at how bad it was
. It stunk
. A dying cat could have done better
. Oh crap, I think I forgot to feed Happy
. Don't worry buddy, I will be back as soon as possible
Natsu's face relaxed. He knew that he probably should not have been this biased. Towards the concert. Heck, he doubted his chief would even by it, not mention that the stupid postictal dick would be on his case for it, with it being considered, unprofessional and whatnot.
'And you should probably not forget that overpowered un-godly, cake loving, evil looking, evil devil!'
He shivered furiously. And so he crossed off 'It stunk'.
'Hopefully, that makes my report a little less unbiased.' Natsu glanced at his watch. It had already been fifteen minutes since she should have met him in this dressing room. Natsu furrowed his eyebrows. He should not have expected any less. They were all the same…
But as impatient as he was, there was something in the room which had him not minding the waiting. It reminded him of that weirdo who was playing an agent, horribly in broad daylight. He rubbed his stomach where her foot made contact with him. In truth, it really just did not hurt, and the only pain was when he landed on his ass due to flying backward for being way to unguarded around her. And considering that, it was not normal for a complete stranger to hit you for no reasons, why should he be on guard? But then again, she was a weirdo so…
The door open to Lucy Herts dressing room and a nice perfume from before made its way inside. Natsu spun around to -
"Hey, you're the weirdo from before! What the hell are you doing here?" Natsu burst, shooting up and pointing directly at her. Under her shades, her eyes twitched. She closed the door behind her and started undoing her trench coat. Natsu's started to stammer.
"W-w-whoa, why are you str-riping. You're a weirdo and a pervert. You're a perverted weirdo!" He stated, his accusing finger now standing strong, drenched in accusation. At this point, her twitching eyes were physically visible with both her hat and shades off. Natsu just stared dumbly at her and then squinted his eyes at her.
"Just what did you do with my weirdo of a friend?" He asked. She, face palmed.
"First of all, I am not a weirdo!" She shouted, "And secondly, that weirdo you're referring to, is me!"
She was now out of her performance outfit and was in comfortable blue and white dress in long white socks and a blue ribbon tied around her neck. She stood opposite him glaring at him furiously at his accusing nature with a part of her wanting to slap her forehead in dismay at his reaction. Natsu changed his face to something which portrayed boredom and plopped down in the seat he was once in.
"What's with the change in attitude!" She protested, shocked. One second he was squinting at her full of interest and suddenly it's all disappeared. He was what she could assume, ok with her before the reveal to Lucy Heart and now that it's her, his completely disinterested?
"Sorry princess, but some of us have work to do, can we continue?" He stated coldly, picking his ear with his pinkie finger, almost as if he was emphasizing his disinterest in her and the fact that he wanted to be in another place.
'Mabey she had done something to upset him?' She wondered. And on that note, she took a seat and let the pink haired manstart the questioning, wondering just how on earth she had offended this man.

AN: Ok, extremely happy with the feedback with the last chapter and loved how many fav'es and follow the story has got so far. And here's the thing- planning a story and ironing out every nook and cranny of it takes a hell of a lot of time and so I have a proposition for you guys. I will have a plan ironed out for the first 6 chapters, and create them. Over the next month and a bit, I will post a chapter a week and then wait one more week. If this hits what I think it should hit for me to continue the story, then I will create a detailed plan for the rest of the story and aim to finish this. If this does not get the amount I'm after, I shall end the story right then and there.
But due to the whole planning part, the next chapter may not come out next week but the week after. I will also try and make my updates all fall on a specific day but I have no day in plan so far.
So if does good based on 6 chapters, I will continue. If not, say hello to a new pot bunny.
With that my friends,
Peace out,
SolidWhiteGekko, sneaking out…
