Fairy Senior High's trip to Kyoto has just been over. All of the students and the teachers were given 2 day rest from school. Everyone was rejoicing by that news. Although, everybody's being so joyful about it, Lucy Heartfilia has just found herself in a dilemma: to accept Yoshimura's offer or to decline it.

Lucy's phone rang and Natsu's text message was shown: "I'll see you tonight orange juice."

Lucy's eyes suddenly felt very teary. She didn't know how to reply to his message. She just hopes that everything will go smoothly that night.

"I'm sorry Natsu but I have to go somewhere tonight" she said with a very sad smile.

Clive Complex, the boys are all relaxing and watching television.

"Yasunori Yoshimura, one of Japan's leading business tycoons is said to be engaged to a local girl who used to be a model. This will be his 4th marriage if things will go smoothly for the two. The girl was reported to be— " before the reporter on TV could finish what she was about to say, Loke changed the channel.

"Put it back on the news Loke!" demanded Jellal.

"Oh c'mon Jellal, you're the only one who can be entertained by news and stuff" stated Romeo.

"That's because you're old" added Gray with a laugh.

And with that, Gray struck a nerve and a fight broke out.

"HEY EVERYONE!" greeted Lisanna as she slammed the door open.

The fight suddenly stopped and the boys behaved.

"Natsu's in his room" pointed Loke as he drank soda.

Before she took another step, Lisanna stopped and asked them something,

"Where's Lucy? I haven't seen her lately"

"Don't know. Guess, she's busy" said Romeo as he nibbles on a cookie.

Lisanna went inside's Natsu's room. He was in his usual position; feet on the table, head thrown back, but this time, he was nibbling on a pocky stick. He didn't even drink his orange juice. He was thinking about something deeply.

"Uhmm, Natsu?" asked Lisanna silently.

Natsu closed his eyes and replied, "Yes Lucy?"

He then turned to Lisanna. He didn't realize who it was. He thought it was Lucy.

"Oh, it's you Lisanna! What's up?" asked Natsu in a cheeky grin as he stood up from his seat.

"I wanted to talk about the party tonight" said Lisanna.

Back in the Marvell household, Lucy was in her room with Happy.

"Guess, this is it Happy" she said as she cuddles the blue cat.

Wendy knocked on the door to talk to her cousin.

"Hey Lucy. Are you sure about your decision?" asked Wendy as she sat down on the empty chair.

"Yeah, Wendy. I mean…" said Lucy as she tried to hold back her tears.

It was almost 6 in the evening; Natsu and Lisanna were already dressed up for the party. The other boys were also very much dressed up for the evening. The guests started to arrive in the Dragneel Mansion. The party was to celebrate the band's success. Although, a celebration of a pop band, the boys decided that it will be a red-carpet event. There was a photo booth and everyone from celebrities to business tycoons, bachelors to adults were all present. Natsu Dragneel was not only a pop star but also the son of a business tycoon named Igneel.

"You guys did a good job on this party" complimented Gildarts.

"I know, by the way, where's Lucy?" asked Loke.

Nobody has seen Lucy that night. Natsu was looking around to find the blonde but to his dismay, he couldn't find her. Lisanna then grabbed Natsu on the arm and led him onto the balcony.

"So, what's wrong?" asked Natsu as he was still looking anxiously at the crowd inside looking for Lucy.

"Uhm, it's…it's that…" Lisanna was speechless; her cheeks were blushing like crazy.

Natsu finally spotted someone blonde and went immediately inside but was stopped by Lisanna.

"I love you Natsu!" she exclaimed.

Natsu stopped in his tracks. He looked at her. His brown eyes met her blue orbs. He was surprised. He doesn't even know how to reply to that.

"What?" he was wordless.

"I love you Natsu, I always did" she said with a smile and tears of happiness.

Natsu nodded his head. He turned away from her.

"Listen, Lisanna. You know why we're dating right?" he asked solemnly.

"I know! But what if we just make this real?" asked Lisanna.

"I can't. We started this whole thing because we wanted to gain more fans" said Natsu.

"And I just don't see you that way" he added as he looked back to her.

Lisanna tried to kiss him. Before their lips could meet, Natsu pulled away. He held her on the shoulders. She was in tears,

"I'm sorry" that was all Natsu could say.

Lisanna ran away from him as the tears flowed down her cheeks.

"It's about time Dragneel" said Gray.

"Whatever. Leave me alone." stated Natsu as he re-enters the grand hall.

"Hey Natsu! Natsu! (inaudible dialogue)" Loke, Jellal and Romeo were talking in unison.

"What?!" asked Natsu- annoyed.

"Here!" Romeo held up his iphone onto Natsu's face.

"Yasunori Yoshimura will be engaged to Lucy Heartifilia. The business tycoon says that Ms. Heartfilia will take his proposal tonight…" the reporter stated.

"She needs the money for her ailing father; I'm just here to help the young lady out. Hahahaha!" said Yoshimura to the press.

"That was Yasunori Yoshimura, the business tycoon. This is Mamiko Mori—" before the reporter could finish, Romeo stopped the video.

Without second thoughts, Natsu ran outside to find Lucy. He rode onto the first vehicle he could set his eyes on. He rode onto his black Ferrari. He didn't bother opening the door; jumped onto the seat and drove it to Yoshimura's mansion.

"What the hell Lucy?!" he thought to himself as he bit his lip in anxiety.

"I just can't let you get through with this" he stated as he remembers Lucy's smiles.

~Flashback~

This happened about 10 days ago. Natsu was talking to his dad about a new business partner.

"So, who was it on the phone dad?" asked Natsu.

"Yasunori Yoshimura. He wanted to be part of the new project but I rejected him" replied Igneel.

"Why?"

"He's been charged 2 times with rape and stuff"

"But because he's rich, he hasn't been convicted" sighed Igneel as he threw his arms back as he sat down on the office chair.

"Perverted old man" Natsu exclaimed.

Back in the present, Natsu just arrived at the Yoshimura Mansion. Nobody was there. The party was already over. The celebration of Lucy's answer was over and done.

"Where's Lucy?!" demanded Natsu at the guards.

"She already went home" replied the guard.

Natsu immediately went back to his car and drove to Lucy's. He arrived there and Wendy's mom was there to open the door. Natsu didn't even bother to greet her. His eyes were full of mixed emotions. He was mad and he didn't even know why.

"LUCY!" he slammed open the door to reveal the blonde in a long sexy black dress and taking her shoes off.

"Natsu?" she was surprised to see him here.

"Don't tell me you accepted his offer! You missed our party for that stupid proposal! Why did you even accept his offer?! Is it because of the money?! Geez, orange juice! If you needed the money for your dad, I would've doubled your salary! No, tripled it! I mean-" Natsu went on and on about anything.

Lucy was giggling at Natsu. She was touched by his ranting.

"Calm down Natsu. I went there to decline his proposal" she said as she blushed and giggled at the pop star.

"So, you mean, you're not engaged?" asked Natsu who was caught off guard.

"No, I'm not silly. Well, unless if you want to ask me to marry you" teased Lucy with a giggle.

"Hmp! I'm going back to the party! I'll see you tomorrow orange juice!" said Natsu as he turned around to hide his blush.

Lucy who was behind him was smiling—the most beautiful smile she had in a long time. She was falling for him—the Natsu off stage. And maybe, just maybe Natsu was also falling for his personal assistant, Lucy.
