"UGH."
"…"
"UGH! Hint hint…"
"…"
UGGGGHHH!"
"Sigh… what is it Natsuko?"
"I'M BORED!"
"So what?"
"So I'm BORED! Nothing special ever happens here." She muttered.
Yes, it was yet another 'boring' day at Fairy Tail. There Natsuko sat with all the ruckus behind her, surprisingly she didn't join in and so did Katsuro.
"Go gossip with the girls or something, for all I care." Katsuro grumbled.
"BUT I DON'T WANNA! There's nothing to gossip about…" The pink haired continued to moan.
"I thought girls were all chatter boxes…" Katsuro thought out loud while smirking.
No response? Not even a fight? Dang Flamebrain…
He waited…
And waited…
And waited…
"What?" There came her reply.
Katsuro yet again sighed.
"What's wrong flamebrain? You're usually the one that messes the guild up with your pap." He pointed out.
"Well… I just don't feel like it." She quickly said before getting on her feet, leaving Katsuro speechless.
Clouds passed by as she continued to walk by the river bank while boatmen were warning her to be careful. She passed house by house, people by people, yet she couldn't help to feel some connection in that specific area.
And that area happened to be around Lucy's house.
There stood a bright orange colored house still in perfect shape, it even seemed as if it was new.
Hmmm, this house seems attractive… I WONDER IF THERE'S ANY MEAT! HUHU… Natsuko thought as she snickered.
Pushing the door opened slightly a splash of vanilla scent suddenly hit her face causing her to relax.
Once the door was fully opened there, lucy's furniture still stood.
Her desk where she writes her stories.
Her kitchen where Natsu and Happy would always steal food.
Her cupboard where she has very… ahem… weird clothes…
And last but not least her ever so comfortable bed.
"WOW!" Natsuko exclaimed as she started to walk around the house.
"Better than my home at least..." She murmured.
But why do I get a feeling that I'm related to this scent…?
...
...
...
Silence?
SILENCE?
It couldn't be, Fairy Tail isn't shouting? Fighting? Screaming?
NONSENSE.
Now, let's see what happened...
FLASHBACK TIMEEEE~
It was a usual rambunctious day at Fairy Tail, all was loud and well, when suddenly, the door suddenly flew open with a loud SLAM. Jerza walked in, he didn't look like his usual –self, actually the opposite.
His calm yet determined face was no longer there, instead replaced with a frown. No one knew what was going on, instead they were rather scared. He looked exactly like when Erza was getting serious... only 3 times worst.
His eyes landed on the one and only Natsuko Dragneel.
Step by step he motioned his way towards the pink haired female.
Perking her head up from her daydream she found herself staring into his dark brown onyx eyes.
"Jerza?"
"Natsuko," He placed one hand on her shoulder.
His hand was ice cold like Gray's. But the coldness felt different, a different aura to be precise.
"Dude, you okay?" Natsuko asked as she placed her hand on his shoulder.
It was like a friend to friend talk.
But a little bit different... something Natsuko couldn't put her finger on. Maybe it was a new haircut? Hmm... Whatever, but she was confused as to why his hand was cold, and why this felt different.
"Seriously, dude, answer me, are you ok?"
"Natsuko,"
"WHY IS YOUR HAND ON NATSUKO'S SHOULDER?" Katsuro shouted.
"YEAH, WHY IS YOUR HAND THERE?" Rags echoed.
"Natsuko," Jerza repeated. He looked fidgety, like he wanted to say something, but yet at the same time, he didn't.
"WHAT? JUST TELL ME ALREADY!" Natsuko shouted impatiently.
"Natsuko…" Jerza started to turn slowly away.
"DUDE JUST TELL ME ALREADY!" As Natsuko grabbed a piece of fabric from Jerza's hood.
"Let go." He muttered while looking away.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU LEAVE WITHOUT AN ANSWER!" she boomed so loud that the guild started to vibrate.
Jerza just bit his lip and pushed away Natsuko's hot hands.
All she could do was stand there speechless.
And then, the guild doors slammed shut.
LUCY THIRD PERSON POV
Lucy was trudging through the desert, parched and starving and tired, as her food and water supply had run out a few days ago, and she didn't feel up to summoning her spirits right now.
She continued walking along when she suddenly heard a swoosh behind her, and when she looked back she found herself face to stomach with a large... piece of toast?
This must be the toast monster, Lucy thought. It was a huge, white piece of toast with a weird mouth that looked like a toaster opening, two little black eyes, stringy long arms, and legs that were so skinny they were sticks.
"Well? Did you bring me toast?"
"OH uh yeah!" She lifted up a piece of toast.
LUCY! YOU HAVEN'T EATEN FOR ONE FRIGGIN WEEK! YOU BETTER EAT NOW! Look at the fine crust at the edge... the smell... you know you want it... Her thoughts tempted her.
Her hands trembled as she stared at the piece of toast. Her mouth was watering with saliva. Her eyes relaxed as she imagined herself eating.
"Well? Are you going to give it to me or not?" He boomed.
...
...
...
CHOMP
...
...
...
"So... you ate my piece of toast? Smart move... dead meat..."
As Lucy realized what she had done, she screamed and ran away, with the toast monster chasing after her.
