I do not own Fairy Tail.

Lucy approached Natsu's house, slowing down from a jog to a weird power walk. She shivered, partly from the cold, and partly from the feeling of excitement she got whenever she thought about Natsu, the one who barges into her house all the time, yes, that Natsu, giving her privacy. Privacy, she never thought she would come to miss it this much. Now that she had a shot of getting that much needed privacy, she was going to make sure she would get it even if it killed her.

She quietly opened the door, wincing slightly as it creaked. 'Wait, why am I so afraid of waking him up? This is Natsu we're talking about. I'm pretty sure he won't wake up. After all, he is Natsu.' To say in the very least, Natsu's house was trashed. There were piles of papers, guild quests, stacked clumsily in little mounds all over his room. There was no point in even trying to be quiet here, his floors were creaky, and whatever she just stepped in crunched loudly. But Natsu didn't even stir.

So instead of tip toeing, Lucy stepped loudly over piles of trash and half eaten bits of food, not caring that she was being noisy. After several failed attempts of trying to navigate her way through the piles of trash, she finally reached her destination, Natsu's bed. "One of these days, I'll have to come over to teach him how to pick up after himself." She muttered as she peeled off an unidentifiable piece of some sticky substance from the bottom of her shoe.

She threw the unknown object aside and started towards her target. The creaky floorboards squeaked and groaned as she stepped closer and closer to the sleeping dragon slayer and his little exceed. For some weird reason, even though it was cold outside, it seemed to be very warm in his house, which wasn't insulated at all. She stopped to stare, it wasn't often that she saw Natsu with a calm expression on his face, he was usually angry, or really happy. She took note that he was still wearing his usual clothes, scarf and all, and that when he was sleeping, he looked like a little kid. She smiled as she watched his chest rise up and down, the silence seemed to emphasize his breathing, making it seem to echo around the room.

Being in this sleepy environment made Lucy very sleepy, after all, wouldn't you be sleepy if you were woken up by a slightly eccentric matchmaker in the middle of the night and were forced to come to your best friend's house, which was all the way across town, only to be tempted by a soft looking bed in a warm, cozy, house? Of course you would.

She shook her head. No time to be stalling. The sooner she got Natsu up, the sooner they could get this whole matchmaking ordeal over with, and more importantly, the sooner she could go home and forget about the whole thing. "Natsu, Natsu. Wake up." She reached out to shake his shoulder softly, she didn't really want to wake him. He just looked peaceful, just laying with his eyes closed, and lips curved up in a small smile. He seemed to stiffen at her contact, but slowly relaxed. He was still asleep. Lucy, getting more and more impatient by the second, started to shake him roughly. She wanted to go home already. He only stirred, muttering a soft "A little longer . . ." She rolled her eyes. She would need help in getting him up. So she called for Mira, the one who got her into this whole mess.

"Mira! I need your help getting Natsu up!"

-XxX-

~With said Matchmaker~

Mira stopped the whimsical plots for matchmaking from running throughout her head, she had to focus on this. She sweetly said "Coming~" In the sweetest voice she could muster. She had that bouncy, fuzzy feeling she used to get when she wrote fan fictions about various guild members as a teenager, oh, how nostalgic. Mira at once started off with renewed energy towards Natsu's house, she had formed a plot in her head, and was putting all the details together, now all she had to do was set her plan in motion.

~Back with frustrated Lucy~

"God Natsu, what do I have to do to make you wake up?" Lucy was on the verge of slapping him until he woke up, but before she could even start, Mira arrived, all happy and cheerful for some reason. "Now, let's get this sleepyhead up!" Mira said, a little too cheerfully, Lucy thought, but shrugged it off. After showing Mira how to get safely to Natsu's bed, Mira smiled happily before tugging Natsu's arm, causing him to fall off his bed. "Wakey wakey Natsu!" His eyes snapped open at the sudden contact of the cold floor. Lucy sighed, of course, why hadn't she just pulled him off? She was being weird today, I mean, when was she really gentle with Natsu? She must be really tired today. "Mm-mph, . . . Huh? Luigi?" "It's LUCY!" "Ah, right. . . . . Wait, Lucy? Why're you at my house? And I how did I get on the floor?" Lucy shook her head. "-Sigh- Whatever. Mira, grab him, let's get this over with." Mira happily obliged. Oh, what she had in store for them . . . . -Evil smirk-

~Walking, Explaining, etc.~

"Wait, so you and Lucy think that Gajeel and Levy should, as you say, 'Go Out', which means . . . ?" Mira shook her head, maybe this time she bit off more than she could chew. "For the last time, 'Going Out' means that they will be boyfriend and girlfriend. A girlfriend is a very special person who-" "No need to explain anymore! I got it! So a girlfriend is like, um, Oh! So, for example, Lucy is my girlfriend." This sentence stunned one person, and made one person very, very happy. Can you guess which is which? Of course you can.

"W-w-w-w-w-wh-What?!" Mira squealed, Lucy shrieked, both blushing. "Well, Lucy is my friend, and a girl, so, wouldn't that make her my-" "Ugh! Don't even finish that sentence Natsu!" Mira yelled. Honestly, of all the dense cliche things he could've picked from, that one is the most overused. "She is not your girlfriend, she is your 'friend girl', and in fact, she's your best one." Mira stated, 'but not for looong~' She added silently.

"Okay, Lucy, you're on your own from now on. I have to go tend to my other duties, have you seen how many glass cups need to be cleaned at the guild? Well, anyway, see ya!" Mira started to turn, but was stopped by Lucy, "Wait! Y-you mean you're just gonna leave me to explain all this to him?" Lucy pointed a finger towards Natsu, who stared back, confused.

"Lucy, you write 'those' kind of novels. Of course you can at least use your love expertise to do a little thing like this, right? After all, if Natsu learns from you, then he won't have any trouble at all understanding." Mira batted an eyelash, flattery never hurt anyone, it just helped smooth things over a bit.

"Hmm . . . You are right, after all, I am the one who writes this stuff," Lucy said, suddenly feeling very humble, but also very confident. "So of course I'll train Natsu, while getting Levy and Gajeel together, of course." Mira smiled. "See I knew you would agree! Well, look at the time, gotta go!" Mira waved as she walked in the direction of the guild, secretly smirking. "Hey Lucy, where'd you get that cool ninja outfit?" Lucy turned to face him. 'Oh yeah, I forgot I was talking about THIS idiot.'

"-Sigh- Come come Natsu, we will begin your training at my house."

Sorry if this seems like an epic fail, I know, I know, I hate filler chapters too, not that this story holds any interest to you, but I sorta still need a little bit more time to get the plot organized... Sorry. Feel free to criticize this one.
