A story about a boy and a girl

Chapter 4: A intruder

Lucy was standing in her door opening, her bags fallen on the ground beside her. She had just come back from her shopping trip after school. On her face was shock she stared at her living room.

There on her, sparkling new, couch sat a boy his arms nonchalantly against the back of the couch. He grinned at her. The rest of her apartment was one big chaos, stuff was spread across the Floor and almost all her drawers stood open.

"Welcome home Lucy!" The boy said to her, he didn't made any move to come up from her couch.

"What are you doing in my apartment?"

"'Cause I wanted to see were you lived."

Lucy walked up to him with big and quick steps. She put her hands on her hip for emphasis "I already said that you guys could come by as soon as it is finished?... Wait! How did you get in?"

"Well, that's a funny story, let's keep it a secret!" He gave her a big toothy grin and a thumb up. "Ya know Lucy, you don't have any food. I'm staarrrving!" Lucy gave him a deadpan look before sighing and smiling. 'I'm not going to get him out either way.'

"That is why I went to the shops." She turned around to grab her bags and walked to the kitchen. Natsu quietly followed, while she stacked her cabinets he sat down at the kitchen table.

"Your apartment is quite empty isn't it?"

"Well yeah, I just live her for a week I think." She turned around and leaned against the kitchen sink. "I haven't found time and money to decorate it."

"Mmmm… don't your parents pay?"

". . . no." She turned her head around to watch to the down going sun outside her window. Natsu followed her gaze. Lucy turned too look at Natsu, he looked really serene, with the light of the evening sun shining on his face. She gulped before speaking "Anyway, I assume you want to stay her for dinner. I was planning on eating Pasta." She turned around again to put up some water.

"Okay! Could you put a lot of pepper on mine?" Natsu began wobbling on his chair while Lucy prepared the sauce.

"Pepper? You sure?" Natsu nodded vigorously. "Ookay, how much is a lot?" The pasta was finished so Lucy took two boards and divided the pasta on the boards. She put some sauce on both and grabbed the pepper.

"Like thiiiiiiiis much!" Natsu had spread his arms wide, he looked like a little child. Lucy grinned and began putting pepper on Natsu's plate.

"Here's your plate." She sat down and began too eat. Before Lucy could finish half of her plate Natsu had already finished his. He was now talking animatedly about everything and nothing. For Lucy it was the first time too eat with someone in a long time. After diner the two off them talked and did the dishes, or rather Natsu talked and Lucy did the dishes. Around nine o'clock Lucy found it was time to go to bed and kick Natsu out, and so she did.

"Eh? Can't I sleep at your home?" They stood in front of the door, Lucy trying too push Natsu out.

"No. You must go home."

"Please"

"No. . . And don't do puppy eyes, they won't work with me." She gave him one final push too move them out of the appartment and blocked the door.

"Aw. Come on Lucy!" He grabbed her arm and tried to push her and him in the apartment already. His other arm unintentionally touching her leg. Lucy immediately flinched, her breathing became raged and heavy as the memory became fresh. "Lucy, are you all right?" He let her go and brought up his hand to check her temperature. Only to be swatted away. Lucy looked at him with fearful eyes.

"Y-yes, I'm all right. Just go home." She took two steps backwards and closed the door right in front of Natsu's face. Natsu heard a soft thump and suspected that Lucy had slumped down right behind the door.

"L-Lucy?" After several minutes of waiting there still wasn't a answer so Natsu walked away silently and slowly. From strawberry street it took twenty minutes to get to his own home. It was a small farm like building with a small garden around it. There was a small path to the door and at the beginning of the path stood a cat shaped board that read: "Natsu & Happy". Nastu walked in and mumbled something like I'm home. A grey cat walked up to him, it's grey looked more like blue then grey. The cat had a green collar.

"Hey Happy." The cat first looked really happy at him before remembering something and sitting down with it's back at Natsu. "ah. . I'm really Sorry! I will give you some food right now." He quickly walked to the kitchen, the cat happily padding after him. After the cat had some dinner they both fell down on the couch. Natsu started telling the cat what had happened today at school and also what happened at Lucy's house.

"It was really weird. . .What do you think I should do?" The cat gave him a look. "Yeah, we should probably just 'till she tells us. . . I got to get my mind of it, let's watch some telly." He began digging in the couch looking for the remote, untill Happy seemed to Point at a cuishion with it's head. Natsu looked behind it to find to remote. "Thanks Happy! You're the best partner!" They watched some television, altough Natsu soon fell asleep. Happy turned out the Televison, by standing on the off button on the remote, before curling upp in a ball and also falling asleep.

The next few days went by without problems, Lucy was already taken in by the group and made a lot of friends. She acted like she didn't flinched way from Natsu. When he asked her she ignored it. She also learned more about Natsu's destined love, for whom he was looking. She was a blonde and tender girl. He met her when he was seven years old. He didn't know her name. He is never looking for her, he isn't trying every blonde girl he sees because he thinks that he will immediately recognize her when they meet again.

On Friday Erza got told the girls that she got asked out on a date. The guy was her crush, his name is Jellal. All the girls were excited and it was decided that Levy, Cana, Lucy, Mirajane and Wendy were going shopping with Erza to buy clothes for the date on Saturday evening.

On Saturday the girls went shopping when they ran into some of the guys, namely Gray, Natsu and Loke. They decided to go with them, because they had nothing better to do.

"So why are you girls shopping?" Gray asked.

"Firstly, you never need a 'why' to go shopping." Levy began. "But anyway, we are shopping for clothes for Erza's date. It will be so much fun. I mean" She was cut off by Gray.

"Erza got a date? With whom?"

"Oh-hooo! Look it's red train!"

"Natsu stop drooling at the windows like a small child."

"What did you say you ice freak?"

"You two, are you going shopping for my date or not?" Erza looked at them with her arms crossed.

"We are going shopping with you guys, right Natsu?" Gray nudged Natsu in the shoulder.

"Aye!"

"But you girls still haven't answered my question. Who is the guy that asked Erza out on a date?"

Mirajane's spirit lightened up. "What an interest Gray? Why?"

"He doesn't need a reason Mira-chan." Levy sighed. "His name is Jellal he goes to the tower school, you know that school at the town next door."

"Okay."

Lucy quietly observed all the interactions. Natsu was still drooling on most of the toy shop windows, Mirajane and Levy were discussing over Gray's so called sudden interest, Erza was walking in front she looked rather nervous, Cana was trying to persuade Wendy to drink some booze and she couldn't find Loke. That was until Loke suddenly was besides her.

"You know Lucy, you hair looks like the sun." He winked at her and added. "You can be my sunshine if you want."

Firstly Lucy was too shocked too say anything, she never had a guy flirt so openly at her. After that she giggled. "Do you say that to ever girl?"

"Of course not! You are the only one for me."

Loke continued flirting with her while she continuously gave Sharp remarks. Natsu looked at them from the reflection in the Store's windows. It looked like Lucy had a lot of fun with Loke. Natsu couldn't help but feel jealous, although de didn't know why. He thought that is was because Lucy had flinched away by him but was giggling with Loke.

"All right! Let's go to this shop first!" Levy beamed. They were standing in front of a big jewellery, clothing and make-up store. Almost the second they stepped inside Loke found a interesting girl and walked away with her, trying to get her to date him. The rest started looking for some nice clothes, although Natsu and Gray were just slouchy following them. The girls were talking animatedly about this or that clothing piece, the jewellery that matched with the clothing and more. After looking around in the shop, for what seemed like an eternity to the guys, they had slimmed down the clothes Erza had too choose from to tow dresses. A green one that reached until her knees with a slight split at the leg. And a Litlle black Dress, the black dress had nothing special except for a red line that walked just under Erza's breasts.

"Lucy what do you think the green or the black dress?" Erza asked.

"If I were you I would take the black, it accents your curves and these accessories match really good wit hit."

"Yeah you are right."

"Lucy, is that you?" A sudden voice yelled. The gang turned around to see a tall boy standing. He had brown spikey hair and some ear piercings. He was clothed in a yeans and a simply shirt. He looked incredible handsome, you could see his arm muscles. "Wow! It really is you! Long time no see, you look fabulous."

"Dave?" She walked up to him and pulled him in a hug. "It really is a long time. You've grown."

"Yeah, well." He scratched the back of his head sheepishly. "I heard you transferred school? Why? Are you okay? You father better didn't do anything funny. Are you all right? If that guy did something funny, I will kill him." He grabbed her hands and held them in front of him.

"Ah. . . well. . ." She took her hands back and started fumbling with the hem of her shirt. Her eyes looked distant and she avoided eye contact with Dave. She was absent-mindedly caressing her own arm with her hand. "Let's just I got enough of my old school." She glanced over her shoulder to the rest of the guys, they looked astonished at the hot guy Lucy was talking to. Dave took the hint and abandoned the subject.

"Hey there guys!" He gave them a two finger salute."Lucy don't you think you should introduce us too each other her?" He looked from Lucy to the rest.

"Ah! I forget. Well let me introduce them. This are friends from my new school. This is Erza, Levy, Natsu, Cana, Gray and that is Wendy." They all gave nods in acknowledgement and Wendy even bowed. "Guys this is Dave, a friend from my old school." She put her hand in her neck and slightly tilted her head.

"A friend?" Dave gave her a look. "I thought we were a little more then that, babe? Or didn't you feel the same." He gave her a little mischievous smile.

Lucy sighed. "All right let me rephrase that sentence: Guys, this is Dave my ex-boyfriend." She held her hand in front of him.

Dave swung a arm around her shoulder and leaned on her casually. "Nice too meetcha' guys!" he gave them a big smile.

Cliff-hanger! At least I hope you think of it that way :]
Sorry for the slightly short chapter and the long wait! And probably the bad grammar too

Did you guys read the new Fairy Tail chapter? I'm not so sure If I really like it, what if they all have grown up? Then they would be like 23? I want too read the new chapter so badly.

I dunno what I'm going to do with all of the pairings in this fic, so ideas are welcome. I mean I like ErzaxJella and GrayxJuvia but I also like GrayxErza. Ah! What to do!

Anyway please rate, review and give tips!
