IX. Pop Star Squared

PS. So I decided to go back to a school scene. Haven't done that for a while. Hehe. So this chapter takes place after Romeo and Wendy's date and after Natsu met up with Lisanna.

School once again and Natsu was early that day. He was in his seat, looking down the field to see if he can spot a blonde. Unfortunately, no luck. He gave off a sigh and looked at the room on the other side. She might be in there, he thought.

"Hey Natsu!" greeted Erza.

"Yo!" he replied.

-"Have you seen Lucy?"

-"Not since yesterday"

Erza sat down and texted Lucy. Lucy was unusually not early that day. Lucy was always earlier than Erza. She knew something must have been wrong.

Downstairs, a very beautiful young lady walked with all eyes on her. She had a very familiar short-silver hair and those wondrous blue eyes that looked so much like Lisanna Strauss'. And yes, it was the famous Lisanna, the pop star princess whom every guy dreamt to be with. She walked daintily on the way to her classroom. She knocked on the door. The teacher was already inside. The teacher gave her a smile and let her inside. She told her to introduce herself in front of the class.

"Good morning everyone! My name is Lisanna Strauss" she said as she bowed gracefully.

The class was in chatters. They just can't believe it. First it was Natsu from Madoushi Ouji-sama and now another idol comes to join them.

"You may take your seat beside Natsu" the teacher instructed.

Lisanna gave off a smile and did what she was told. Natsu looked at her and smiled and so did she.

Lucy Heartfilia was absent that day. She was in the hospital. She was looking after her father. Jude Heartfilia had a heart disease and has been in the hospital for 4 months now. With the hospital bills and the bankruptcy of the Heartfilia family, Lucy has been trying to survive and keep their house from being taken by the bank. She entered a lot of other part time jobs besides baby-sitting the pop star Natsu.

"Don't follow mom so soon dad" she said as he gave him a kiss on the forehead.

Lucy went straight home that day. She has been up all night looking after him.

The once thriving Heartfilia estate has now become a somewhat abandoned mansion. Lucy often visits the estate to see how it is but goes home to her Aunt's house. There, she lives with her cousin, Wendy. Lucy went home to her Aunt's house. There, she is greeted by a very cute blue cat. The cat gives a meow as Lucy cuddles him.

"I wonder what Natsu and the others are doing in school right now?" she asked herself.

It was lunch break that time in school. Everyone was in the cafeteria except the two pop stars. Natsu and Lisanna were at the roof top.

"So, guess we're gonna make it public huh?" asked Natsu with his hand in his pocket.

"Guess so" smiled Lisanna back.

Behind them, Levy McGarden, the school's feature writer was listening. She jotted down everything that she heard.

"They're dating!" she exclaimed in her mind as she blushed to the thought.

"This is so juicy!" she added.

The next day, the couple made it into the school's headlines.

SCHOOL'S POP STARS, NATSU DRAGNEEL AND LISANNA STRAUSS ARE DATING! NATSANNA (Author: I think NALI is just too short. hehe) GENERATION!

Natsu looked at the paper and just gave a grin. Lisanna was early that day and all her girl classmates were early as well. The girls gathered around Lisanna as they asked her questions.

"I can't believe that you two are dating!" exclaimed one girl.

"Me too! You look good together!" exclaimed another.

-"Two pop stars!"

Lisanna smiled at the thought of her classmates congratulating her.

"So, what about Lucy?" asked another girl.

"Who is she?" Lisanna doesn't know who this Lucy is.

-"The one who always hangs out with Natsu"

-"Oh the blonde girl? I heard about her from Natsu. She's his personal assistant" said Lisanna.

"They're just friends" she added.

With that resolved, the girls go back spazzing about the couple. Lisanna could not get the thought of Lucy off her mind. What if Lucy likes Natsu? What if Natsu liked Lucy too? Too many questions come flooding in her mind.

Natsu finally enters the room. Lisanna grabs his arm and greets him a good morning. The girls squealed over the two.

Lucy on the other hand, has just arrived in school. Erza greeted her and hands over the school paper.

"What's this so early in the morning, Erza?" asked Lucy with a smile.

"Open it" she instructed.

||SCHOOL'S POP STARS, NATSU DRAGNEEL AND LISANNA STRAUSS ARE DATING! NATSANNA GENERATION!

Natsu Dragneel, lead singer of Madoushi Ouji-sama has just said that they will make their relationship public. Lisanna Strauss revealed that they have been dating for 5 months now…||

Lucy gave the paper back to Erza as she gives her a smile.

"Good for him then" she said.

"I better run Erza" she added.

In the classroom, she sat down quietly. Classes didn't start yet. The blonde caught Natsu's attention. As Lisanna was about to lean on Natsu's shoulder, he took off to see Lucy on the other classroom. The door slid open; Natsu had a very goofy grin on his face as he approached Lucy.

"Morning orange juice!" he greeted.

"Uhm…morning Natsu" she said with less happiness than usual.

-"You 'kay orange juice?" asked Natsu with concern in his voice.

-"Yeah. I just got things to think about" she replied—turning away from his eyes.

"Congratulations on your relationship by the way!" she said with a smile (probably a fake one) in her face.

In the classroom on the other side, Lisanna closely looked at the two. She gave a gentle smile and thought to herself,

"So she's Lucy Heartfilia…"
