Hey guys! Yes, I know it has been like a century since I posted and I apologize that it will continue to be infrequent- IB life is hard! But I promise to do my best! Anyway, this is actually a replacement chapter but I thought that the idea was a cute one so I decided to do it anyway! Alrighty, on to the story!

Life was just as rowdy as ever at Magnolia High. Chairs were sent careening through the classroom at regular intervals and bruises were rather commonplace for those unlucky enough to miss the large objects hurtling at them. Yes, the usual.

Lucy sat quietly at her desk contemplating the book in her hands. In approximately three minutes she knew her salmon (cough pink cough) haired friend would come crashing into the classroom late and inevitably destroy half the room in the process, but she still had a couple minutes left so she decided to risk reading a bit more. She, after staying up late for a few nights in a row, managed to finish the first draft of her novel for Levy but as she was simply so tired she had yet to review it. Sighing, she skimmed the first page. So many errors. If she had been less delirious when writing it she probably would've fixed them then but unfortunately that wasn't the case. She sighed yet again, marking lightly on spots she needed to fix. And quickly became so engrossed in the process she forgot how little time she had until her destructive friend would arrive.

That was, until it was too late to do anything about it.

In less than a second, the Natsu/Gray-torpedo shot through the classroom in a tumbling heap of limbs, knocking over every desk in the row until ultimately colliding with Lucy's. Rogue flames and icicles shot here and there and everywhere and honestly it all became a blur as half the class was bowled over into a massive dogpile. And, of course, as fate would have it, poor Lucy's manuscript was caught up in the mix.

After the room was (yet again) sorted out and desks were arranged again neatly, Lucy returned to her chair, followed by a puppy-ish Natsu. "We can hang out after school right Luce?" He asked pleadingly. The blonde glanced at him a minute before shrugging non-comittingly. "As I said yesterday Natsu I will have to-" She cut off abruptly, before crying out in pain as she noticed the remains of her novel lying on the floor, half burnt to a crisp and half frozen. "What? What happened?" Natsu cried, running up to his favorite blonde, and grabbing her shoulders, scouring her body (a bit too closely for her liking had she been paying that attention) for any signs of injury. That was a mistake on his part.

"YOU-YOU IDIOT! YOU ABSOLUTE MONSTEROUS, DESTRUCTIVE, OUTRAGEOUS JERK! LOOK AT WHAT YOU DID TO MY BOOK! I SPENT HOURS ON THAT!" Lucy burst, stuck somewhere on the brink of crying and seething in anger. "Now now Lucy..." Erza began pleadingly, stepping forward to calm the blonde down. Before quickly retreating when the blonde's searing gaze fell upon her. "Me? But Gray did it!" Natsu cried accusingly, glaring at his "friend" who stood up too. "Me? You half-brained flame head! You started the stupid thing by dropping a bucket of water on my head when I walked in the door!" Natsu flared at this "What?! I only did that-"

Lucy had had enough of their arguing. She reached for her backpack and sent it hurtling at the two arguing with enough force to send them both flying backward. "I CAN'T BELIEVE EITHER OF YOU! CAN YOU NOT JUST SHUT UP FOR TWO FREAKIN SECONDS WITH YOUR DUMB ARGUMENTS! DO YOU NOT CARE FOR ANYONE ELSE BUT YOURSELVES? DO YOU?" She collapsed to the ground, wracked with sobs while her fellow classmates sat for a moment, in silent awe of the dramatic turn of events. Levy got up from her chair and sat delicately beside her friend, hugging her shoulders comfortingly and murmuring quiet soothing words to the distraught blonde. Natsu approached carefully, treading lightly as he could up to the two girls on the floor. "H-hey Luce.. Don't cry! You know I hate it when you cry! How about this, how about I take you out on a date?" Her sniffling stopped, and she looked up, slightly pink, stupified. (She wasn't the only one) "R-really?"

Natsu beamed, sharp canines showing. "Yup!"

LLucy smiled brightly in return. "Okay!" Levy giggled, before helping the blonde up and sitting back down. Gildarts, who had been silently watching the whole spectacle from the front of the class, cleared his throat and everyone returned to their appropriate seat so the lesson could finally begin.

The day ended almost as soon as it had began, and Lucy smiled at Natsu quickly before leaving. "Meet me at six I guess?" She suggested nervously. Natsu grinned his signature grin, giving her a thumbs up. "Sounds good Luce, see you later!" She smiled, before trailing away happily.

Gray appeared at Natsu's side a few minutes later. "Dude I didn't know you had it in you. Congrats. I am sure Mira will love this. Oh, probably Lisanna too. It'll be great." Natsu hummed distractedly. "Yeah, sure... a-thanks I guess." And after sitting a moment in silence, Natsu turned to Gray stone-faced. "What is a date?"

And you could hear Gray's cry for miles.
