Shining Stellar: Loke is comin your way... Next chapter.

Wolfsmiley : Natsu's just THAT epic.


Chapter 9: Is this really a date?

The first date is always awkward...

But this was probably the most awkward first date ever, what started as a simple date in the amusement park

ended with Lucy being trapped in the forest with the white light heading towards her.

Wait... Let me start from the beginning.

Lucy had just arrived at the amusement park and rushed to the signboard to meet up with Gajeel.

Flashes of white covered her field of vision and she staggered around until she tripped on a lump of rock.

"Wahh!"

She shut her eyes tightly and waited for that familiar pain.

But luckily Gajeel caught her and she opened her eyes to his grinning face.

"Have a nice trip Lucy?"

"S-Shut up"

She turned and pushed herself away from him.

"Is that what you should say to someone who saved your life?"

"First of all you didn't save my life; you just stopped me from tripping"

She huffed. What gave him the right to talk to her like that?

"Yet I still don't hear a thank you"

"... Thanks"

"What was that, I couldn't hear you?"

He loved to tease her.

"Fine I'll say it, THANK YOU"

"You're welcome"

He held his hand out in her direction.

"Shall we go?"

She took it gingerly and the two walked off to one of the rides.

What they didn't know was Makarov was stalking them along with the camera crew.

First they went on the rollercoaster and Lucy seemed more eager to ride whilst Gajeel

look very nervous.

"What's wrong?"

As the two got off Lucy noticed that Gajeel looked a bit pale.

"Nothing, let's just go to the next one"

Each ride they went on just seemed so much better than the one before.

Just as the clocked rang at 4pm the two stopped for a few minutes at the park's cafe.

"Here you are sir"

The waiter handed Gajeel two ice cream sundaes and bowed.

The pink hair looked awfully familiar...

Another waiter with dark blue hair arrived with their meal.

Their faces weren't familiar but their hair sure was.

Gajeel now remembered.

"Hey why are you h...!"

"What seems to be the problem sir?"

The manager with lightning yellow hair appeared and grinned at Gajeel.

Lucy started to get suspicious, these people looked so familiar.

"I see"

She snapped her fingers in recollection and pointed at the trio.

"Natsu, Gray and Laxus what are you doing here?"

She walked up to 'Natsu' and studied his face carefully.

"I do not know what you are talking about dear customer"

He didn't look like Natsu but his hair and voice was exactly like his.

So she pulled on his face.

"Oww!"

"Wow you really got this mask really stuck on tight!"

"What do you mean Lucy?"

She turned and realised that she made one very big mistake.

"I'm sorry"

She apologized at the irate waiter and walked off awkwardly with Gajeel and Natsu at her side.

"I don't get it, why did you think he was me Lucy?"

"Never mind it Natsu"

She turned looking embarrassed and noticed that Gajeel looked angry.

"Hey Gajeel what's wrong?"

He growled and the next thing she knew she being carried off to god knows where.

"Oi Gajeel get backed here"

Natsu instantly reacted and chased him.

Gajeel zoomed to his car and gently placed her into the passenger seat.

He quickly got in and turned his ignition on.

Natsu got into his own car and tailed him.

"Gajeel isn't this kidnapping?"

"Well you're willing aren't you?"

"I guess"

"Then it's not kidnapping"

The car sped past the forest as the sun started to set.

"Gajeel where exactly are you taking me"

Lucy didn't like going into the woods.

That story her mom read to her about that 'wolf' and the little girl still

haunted her to this day.

Her eyes fluttered as she felt sleep taking over her body.

She felt a small nudge and the car stopped.

Gajeel got up and opened the car door and helped her out.

What she saw completely changed her opinion of him.

The hill they stopped by was completely illuminated by the fireflies and at the very top was a

simple picnic blanket with everything already set out on the table.

A violinist appeared from behind the tree and played a poignant piece.

"Gajeel this is amazing"

"I know I am"

She pushed him playfully and the two walked up to the table.

Flash. That white light again. Lucy head turned and saw them.

Shadowy figures of animals. She pretended to ignore them and tried to act normally.

"Lucy"

"Lucy!"

"Woman"

The trio's voice could be heard as their cars stopped in a grinding halt.

They rushed over to her and asked many questions.

"Are you all right?"

"What did he do to you?"

"You know that you belong to me"

"Shut up!"

She had enough; she picked up a small stone and threw it in frustration.

It hit Gajeel and knocked him out and the stone bounced off to the forest and a loud shout made her remember she was not alone.

The group of lights appeared once again and they seemed to get closer.

"Ghosts, crap Lucy we need to run"

"No Gray remember the lights mean they're aliens"

"No you idiots it's that old fart and his crew"

Natsu's brain processed something Makarov had said to them yesterday

"Hey guys let's run, if the old man catches us we won't be able to participate"

He whispered at the two and ran down the hill.

The other two hastily ran back to the cars and sped away and the light was nearly there.

"I'm not ready to die yet!"

She shut her eyes and screamed.

"What are you talking about Lucy"

She opened her eyes and saw Makarov and the camera crew laughing and the lights that she thought

to be berserk animals were Makarov and his wimpy camera crew.

He explained to her that they were shooting her date and the crew got spooked when they saw a rock flying towards them.

So in the end she went home with no picnic and Gajeel was left in the forest until morning arrived.

Yep, the worst date ever.


LOL Gajeel's been forgotten.

Stay tuned.
