An: For those of you, who have not checked out my edited version of the second chapter, you are not missing out on much but there were some changes to it due to my lack of time I had to edit it and so I swapped out the unedited version for the edited one. Check it out if you wish, but just note that it will not change the outlook of the chapter.
With all that in mind, here is the third chapter.
Enjoy
Chapter 3: Possible Solution
Lucy heart was extremely irritated at this point. Every question he asked lead to an honest reply back from her, all in accordance to the information which she was allowed to give. But no matter what she said, it was always followed by a witty remark and a scoff, smirk, frown or a tut when he went to write it down. It was almost as if he really did not care or believe anything which she said. What was worse, was the fact that his questions where always asked with a lack of enthusiasm, it wasn't that he should have had been stoked to interview her but it was a little rude and she just could not grasp why.
He referred to her as his 'weirdo friend' when accusing her of doing something- to herself! And then when he found out that his 'weirdo friend' was actually her, Lucy Heart, the pop-star who he had came to interview, it was like he hated her. He seemed to have been annoyed with her? Angered by her? Clearly she must have done something wrong and she really wanted to find out why he was being such a jerk to her when he was all fine and playful before finding out her true identity.
"How did you feel when working with Gajeel and The Slayers for two of the songs from your last album?" Natsu asked, his eyes never leaving his notepad as he doodled in the margin awaiting her answer. She noticed how the name seemed to have rolled of his tongue as if he knew him and was on friendly terms with him. But she wasn't too sure, as he was friendly with her. Well, one thing she knew was that this question was not so bad and something which she could easily answer. She just hoped that he would not scoff or give a witty remake.
"I loved it, it pretty fun and the bandmates where great to joke around with. If I had the choice to work with them again I wouldn't mind." She answered slowly, eyeing Natsu's reaction to her statement. To her dismay there wasn't one, he just had the look of pure boredom. And for some odd reason this pissed her off the most. And yes, she may not have wanted him to scoff or give a witty comment but she wanted some form of feedback, even a change in facial feature! She grinded her teeth.
"Can I see what you jotted down?" she asked. He did not reply for a moment but glanced up to her after he finished writing and raised an eyebrow.
"Why?" he replied coldly. Something which he seemed to do to any form of small talk she tried to make.
"Because I want to know what you wrote about me." She replied.
"No"
"Why?" she questioned.
He closed his notebook before replying.
"Because it's against the policy to allow you to glance at our notes." He replied back with a straight face.
"No it's not" she argued.
"Yeah, it is", he returned
"No it's not"
"Yes, it is"
"No way"
"Well it's true"
"I doubt that"
"It's a new a law created for nosy blonds like yourself."
"No way that's real!" she screeched.
"How would you know, are you a reporter?" Nasty asked. She just started at him, furred eyebrows and crossed arms, a big vain throbbing dangerously on her head.
"No…" She gritted.
"There we go." Natsu replied. She grinded her teeth and thought. A few seconds later a smile plastered itself on her face. She had found a possible solution for this situation.
"Well, in accordance to a law of being a pop-star, we have rights to glance at the notes being made by the reporter." She stated, staring him straight in the eyes, a smug smirk plasted on her lips.
'If he can do it, then so can I." or so she through.
"No," He replied. Dead straight, with an emotionless face. She completely lost it, confused.
"W-what?"
"No." He repeated.
"Why?"
"Because it doesn't exist." She gaped at this.
"But neither does your rule!" She accused He smirked.
"That's debateable." He stated, packing his notebook in bag and standing up. Lucy watched him confused, frustrated.
"What are you doing?" She asked. He glanced at her before heading to the exit.
"The interviews done, so I'm going now princess." He stated. Walking away from her. She was lost, she didn't want him to leave. Not on this account. She wanted to know why.

He was done here. Yes, Natsu knew that he was being a jerk. But that's what snobby people, who only cared about themselves deserved. He did not care if people said he was being unfair, why should he care about the feelings of someone like that. All celebrities are like that and she was no exception. Reaching for the doorknob, his sleeves was caught by something, he turned to look and saw petite creamy hands gripping onto his wrist. He followed the arms up to her delicate brown eyes, smudged up with brimming tears.
'I made a girl cry...' He's mind choked, but he held onto to the expression which now played façade. He shrugged her off and turned towards her.
"P-please. Please, tell me if I upset you?" She asked. Her tears at the edge of falling. He sighed.
"It doesn't matter." He replied back, cold as the touch of the steal.
"I-I want to know. Please, tell me, what have I done to offend you. You've been mean all this time." She begged. He stared at her, a lone tear had already escaped her eyes.
'Dam it...'
"Listen, I hate your kind, I hate you celebs. Your snobs, you don't care about anyone else, you think that your better then us. Why should I give a dam about how you guys feel." He stated, before muttering "why couldn't you just let me go." She stared at him. There was a strong pained look on his face. He wasn't emotionless anymore, he was sad. Upset… He was scared.
'Something must have happened...' He turned to leave again, but now firm hands grabbed his sleeve. He tried to pull away, but she wouldn't let go.
"I don't know what happened in your past and I can only assume that it had something to do with people like me but I can assure you that not everyone's who's considered a celbeetry or pop-star are like that. At least not me." She said, bringing her hand to her chest. He stated straight at her, her eyes did not even waver throughout her mini speech. But how can he believe someone who falls into that category. It was almost like the devil himself, promising that he would behave.
"How can I know that you're not just lying?" he asked. She said the first think that came to mind.
"A date" she replied. Natsu raised an eyebrow.
"A date?" he repeated unsurely. "You wants to prove to me that you're not like the other by going on a date with me?" he asked her uncertainly. She nodded and then, did she realised what she proposed.
"W-w-whaaa-n-no! That's not what I ment." Natsu started at her blankly.
"It's fine, I get it. I don't deserve to be with you. It seems as if the normal man are unfit for the famous Lucy Heart!" he spoke. He shrugged.
"Whatever, I was right. You lot are the same."
"No, it's not that I was just surprised," She yelled, but then blushed a little, "but if that will prove to you that we're not all the same than… Then its ok." she turned away, the pink a stronger tint then before and was a reason to why she was currently unable to hold her eye contact with him.
"I will go on a date with you." She stated. But right after those words left her mouth, she turned to him. Pink on cheeks gone and a twinkle in her eye. To Natsu, she looked determined and that was something which he had respect for no matter who it came from.
"You must promise that you will treat me like a normal person." She said looking deep in his darker the black eyes with her hand out. He grinned. His playfulness back.
"Whatever, Princess. I'll see ya later." He slapped his hand into hers, squeezing it for a second and walked out. She walked back to her seat and plopped down. A small smile, on her face.
"What have I gotten myself into..." but the smile never left.

AN: I have to admit, the chapter was not supposed to come out the way it did. I had a rough plan only for this chapter ironed out and so was able to upload it. And yes, I know that it is a little later then expected but I've run into a little snag with school work which have actually prevented me from finishing off my plan for this and will mean that you guys are going to have to wait longer for chapters.
Please bear with me, I will try and upload when I can but that can take a while…
On the other hand you hopefully enjoyed this chapter. I wrote it listing to Solider, be somebody and call me maybe? And a few other songs.
Anyway, please, share and review.
SolidWhiteGekko, sneaking out….
