**IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ** After much consideration and some reviews about it, I too felt that this chapter was moving too fast. I decided to make Lucy and Natsu a couple later on in the story so I could include some conflicts with Natsu and 'Kaori'. So to my readers that already read this chapter, there is a change in the ending (more specifically the ferris wheel scene for those who do not wish to read the whole chapter over again). And to the readers that still have not read this chapter, please ignore this notice. Sorry for the change, but I, myself, wan't happy with where this story was going.

On a happier note, I reached over 100 followers! Thanks for all your support!

Here's the revised version of chapter 7!

Lucy POV

I woke up at 8 o' clock with the worst bed head and dark bags under my eyes. I wasn't able to sleep a wink last night. I kept tossing and turning anticipating for today. I got out of bed and went over to my closet. What should I wear? Nothing too formal, but I don't want to look too casual either.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in." I said. Virgo came through the door. "Oh good morning Virgo. Can you help me pick out an outfit for my date today?"

"Certainly my lady," said Virgo, "but first Loke told me to deliver this package to you." She hands over a blue box with a pink ribbon.

"Huh? I wonder what it could be?" I opened the box and there was a whole outfit inside. It was a simple white frilled skirt, a pink blouse, and white one-inch heeled scandals. "Wow, this is perfect!" I don't know how he does it, but I'm glad he's looking out for me.

"Shall I help you get ready?" asked Virgo.

"Please do. I need all the help I can get to look at least decent for today. My hair and face are a mess." I said.

Forty minutes later, I've changed into my outfit, and got my hair and makeup done by Virgo. For the final touch, I put on the necklace Natsu gave me at the party. I was officially ready to go. I checked the time: 8:45. Oh, no! If I don't leave now, I'll be late! I race down the stair and out the door. Loke was in the black Mercedes-Benz parked in the driveway. I quickly got into the passenger seat.

"Ready to go?" asked Loke.

"Yup. Now let's go, I don't want to be late" I said impatiently.

"Of course." Loke said.

Twenty-five minutes later, we were at the entrance of the amusement park. It was 9:10 and I was ten minutes late to meet up with Natsu.

"Thanks for the ride Loke" I said as I opened the car door.

"No problem, my lady. But before you go have fun, take this" He hands me a medium sized purse. "Your purse has money, your cellphone, and any other necessities you may need. Virgo told me to give it to you since you were in a rush." He said.

"Thank you. And tell Virgo I said thanks also"

"Will do. If you need anything give me a call and I'll get here as soon as possible"

"Thanks, your the best" I gave him a smile. I shut the door and went off to look for Natsu. I scanned the park and finally spotted his pink hair in the crowd. He was leaning against the entrance of the park. I quickly walked/ jogged my way over to him.

"Sorry..I'm..late." I said in between breaths.

"It's fine. I didn't wait long" he said giving me a smile. He was wearing a grey T-shirt and baggy jeans.

"What time did you get here?" I asked.

"About around 8:50. No big deal" He said as he shrugged it off. I did the calculations in my head. Wait, that means he has been waiting for me for more than 20 minutes!

"Come on, let's go get our tickets." he said as he grabbed my hand to lead me the way. My face started to heat up. Relax, Lucy. He's just handing your hand, no big deal.

We went over to the admission desk.

"How many tickets?" asked the man.

"Two" answered Natsu.

"Ok. That will be $30" the man said. Natsu reached into his pockets, pulled out his wallet, and took out the thirty.

"I'll paid for my own ticket" I offered as I quickly went scrambling into my purse. But Natsu stopped me.

"No you won't. Today is all on me" he said giving me a wink. I couldn't help but blush.

Natsu gave the man the money and the man handed him two tickets.

"You two lovely couple have fun now" he said cheerfully, making me turn a darker shade of red.

"W-We're not a cou-" I was about to say, before Natsu pulled me to another direction.

"So what do you want to do first?" Natsu asked.

"Umm, anything is fine" I said. I've never been to an amusement park before so I wouldn't know.

"How about we go on that?" he said pointing to one of the attractions. I looked to where he was pointing to and gulped. It was the biggest rollar coaster at the park.

"Sure, looks like fun" I said nervously.

"Great! Let's go." he said excitedly. He took my hand again and we speed walked through the crowd. He suddenly stopped which almost caused me to accidentally bump into him.

"Here it is. Luckly there's not much of a line" he said happily. Color drained out of my face as I looked up at the massive coaster.

"Luce, are you alright? You look a little sick" Natsu asked.

"Um, yea..I'm fine" I lied.

"If you don't want to go on, we don't have to" he said worriedly. True I was scared of the ride, but I didn't want to not ride it. I don't want this day to be ruined because of a stupid fear. Plus, Natsu will be disappointed.

"No. I'm fine. I'll go on." I assured him.

"Okay.." said Natsu, not convinced.

It was our turn and we got the first seat of the coaster. My hands were sweaty from fear and nervousness. I think Natsu noticed because he put his hand over mine and gave me a reassuring look.

The coaster started and went up a big hill. When it dropped, I screamed like my life depended on it.

"Are you okay Luce?" asked Natsu.

"Yeah, nothing to worry about" I said. We were now sitting on a bench while I held my stomach trying not to throw up.

"Wait, here. I'll go buy you some water" he said to me before running off.

Well this is embarrassing. Not even thirty minutes into our date and I already got sick from a single ride. Suddenly I felt two shadows looming over me. I look up to see two scary looking guys in front of me. They had piercing on their faces and their clothes were all ripped at various places.

"Hey, cutie. What are you doing sitting here alone" said the first boy. I cringed at his statement.

"I..ah.." I tried to explain that Natsu will be back soon but for some reason the words wouldn't come out of my mouth.

"Why don't you have some fun with us instead" said the second guy.

"I..don't.." but before I could finish my sentence, the first guy grabs my wrist and starts pulling at me.

"We'll bring you back in a little while. We just want to have a good time with you first" the first guy said grinning devilishly.

I tried to thrust my hand free, but his grip on me was too strong. 'Natsu, please be back soon' I pleaded in my head.

Just then a voice from behind says, "Hey, let go of her!" I turned around to see who it was and caught a sight of pink hair. Natsu!

"And just who are you?" questions the first boy.

"Natsu, and that's my girlfriend your holding" his voice was stern with anger. Wait..did he just say girlfriend?! My face starts turning twenty shades of red. 'Snap out of it, Lucy. This isn't the time to think about it', I thought to myself.

"Natsu? Why does that name sound so similar" said the guy holding my wrist.

"You idiot!" said the second guy, "That's Natsu Dragneel. Owner of the second largest company in Japan! And your holding his girl!"

"Oh, shit!" He quickly let go of my wrist.

"Sorry, about that Mr. Dragneel. Our mistake. It won't happen again" the second guy apologizes. The two guys then ran off before Natsu could've said anything else.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone like that" said Natsu worriedly, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

I shook my head.

"Thank God. I would've beat those bastards into a pulp" said Natsu, "For the rest of the day, you can pick any of the rides you want. Think of it as an apology for ruining this date"

I nodded. I was so overwhelmed at how much Natsu cared about me that I was at a lost for words. I looked over to my right and saw a carousel. The kids look so happy as they tried to get their parent's attention every time the ride made a circle around. I remember always wanting to go on that was a kid, but my parents were always to busy to bring me.

"Do you want to ride that?" he asked. Truth was I did want to go. But the adult side of me said that I was being too childish. Natsu would probably be too embarrassed to ride that with me anyways. But before I could say no, Natsu already dragged me off again.

Before I realized it, Natsu was already helping me get onto a horse. He then climbed onto his own horse that was beside mines.

The carousel started moving. "Hold on tight" he smiled at me. The lights from the ride had him look so stunning. He was like a knight in shining amor.

We couldn't help but smile and laugh as the ride started moving faster and faster, around and around, making both of us dizzy.

When the ride ended. Natsu lifted me off my horse and placed me down on my feet.

"That was so much fun!" I laughed.

"Glad you liked it" smiled Natsu.

The next ride we when on were the tea cups. We were waiting in line with a bunch of five year olds, but I didn't care. The ride was so much fun, but Natsu got a little dizzy afterwards.

After that we went to a haunted house. I didn't really want to go, but Natsu was eyeing at the attraction so I figured why not. How bad could it be anyways, right? Well, apparently it was really bad. I was hiding behind Natsu clinging onto the end of his shirt while my eyes were shut tight. The occasional screams from other people made it worse. But for some reason, Natsu seemed to really enjoy it. Maybe he liked seeing me scared, that jerk.

After the haunted house, we went on many other rides. Soon there was an announcement that the park will close in 20 minutes. Natsu and I decided to get on last ride in. I picked the tallest ride in the whole park- the ferris wheel.

We got on the ride. Natsu and I sat across from each other. I looked out the window in amazement. The lights from the rides lighted up the whole park. It was so pretty that I couldn't help but stare in awe.

"So..Did you enjoy yourself today, Luce?" Natsu asked making me direct my glaze to him.

"Yup!" I said cheerfully, "It was really fun. Thanks a lot Natsu"

Natsu covers his blushing face with his hand. "No problem. I'm just glad we were able to spend the day together"

"Me too" I smiled.

"Hey, Luce. Can I ask you something?" he questions.

"Sure, what's wrong?" I asked confused.

"What would you do if I told you that I'm not who you think I'm am" he gave me a stern look.

"What do you mean?" I asked, becoming even more confused.

"It's something that has been guilting me up for a while now. Do you remember the day I met you at your party?" he ask.

I nodded.

"That day I was only at your party for one reason. I wanted to find out secrets about your company."

I stared at him shocked. Of course I knew about it already since he said it himself at school, but why was he bringing this up now?

"However," he continued, "after meeting you at the party I forgot about my plans and was surprised that I actually met a sweet girl. I hope your not mad at me for telling you"

I shook my head. "I already heard about it from Kaori and Levy after you left my party that day" I lied, "But I usually don't judge people until I know them personally. You didn't do anything that night, so there was no reason for me to be suspicious of you. But why are you bringing this up now?"

"The reason that I'm telling you this now is because..," he took a deep breath to pause and think before saying, "I didn't want to keep any secrets from you. I value the relationship we have now, and I don't want you to be angry at me later if you ever heard a rumor about it later. I just wanted you to know that you can trust me."

Great. Now he's making me feel guilty for keeping the secret of my other self. Now that I think about it, I can't possibly keep the secret forever, can I?

"Thanks for telling me, Natsu. I really appreciate it" I sincerely smiled.

Just as our conversation ended, the ferris wheel reached the bottom. Natsu got out of the cart first and offers me his hand as I step out of the ride. We had ten minutes before the park closed. As we were walking out of the park, I noticed a huge teddy bear hanging from a building. I went over to ask the man in charge how much.

"You have to win the game to get the bear, little miss" the man said.

"Why can't I pay you for it?" I pouted.

"Those are the rules, miss. You can't try to win it though" the man says.

"Alright. What's the game?" I asked.

"You have to toss a ring onto a bottle. It's a simple task, but it's tricky. One ring is one dollar, or you can get a bucket of twenty rings for ten dollars" the man explains.

"I'll buy a bucket please," I said as I was trying to get the money out of my purse. But before I could hand the money to the man, a hand grabbed my wrist.

"Didn't I say I was paying for today" I looked at the owner of the hand. It was Natsu! I forgot he was with me and came over by myself. 'Stupid Lucy!'

Natsu handed the man ten dollars and in return got a bucket of rings.

"You wanted the teddy bear right? I'll win it for you" he said to me. "Old man, how many rings do I need to get to win the bear?"

"Just one, since it's hard game. And I'm not that old" the man said with a hint of annoyance.

Natsu threw the rings at the bottles but with no prevail. Each ring either hit the bottle and bounced off or flew off after circling the neck of the bottles. Pretty soon the whole bucket was empty and not a single ring was around the bottles.

"Would you like another bucket of rings for ten dollars?" the man asks.

Natsu just simply took out another ten and handed it to the man. The man gave him another bucket. Not even minutes later the bucket was empty again and there were still no rings on the bottles. Natsu paid for another bucket, and finished it off losing.

"Maybe, we should just go home" I said, "It seems like a hard game"

By this point, Natsu was annoyed, "No, I'm going to win that bear." He gives the man another ten dollars for a bucket of rings. I sighed.

"Can I try then?" I asked.

"Nope. I'm going to win it for you" he said determined.

Getting tired of waiting, I secretly bought my own bucket of rings from the man. Natsu didn't notice since he was to focus on the game.

"Miss that was amazing!" shouted the man. Natsu looked to see what the man was shouting about. He looked over to his right to see three bottles with rings around them. Did Lucy do that? I couldn't even get one ring in with four buckets, but she managed to get three rings with one bucket?

"So young lady, what will it be?" asked the man.

"I would like three of those teddy bears" I said happily.

The man gave her three bears. All were almost the size of her body!

"How did you do that?" asked Natsu, a little disappointed that he got beat my a girl.

"I honestly don't know. Maybe I was just lucky" I shrugged. I tried to pick up the three bears so we could head home but they were too much for me to carry. Natsu noticed I was having trouble and took two of the bears to carry while I was awkwardly hugging one.

"Come back and play again" said the man.

"We will" I sanged happily. As Natsu and I were walking out of the park, we saw a little girl crying to her parents.

"I wanted a toy!" she cried.

"I know, I know, but daddy couldn't win. How about we buy you one at a store" said the father.

I felt bad for the girl, and I did have three bears so I figured giving one away wouldn't hurt.

"Excuse me?" I said to the parents. "I didn't mean listen in on your conversation, but I overheard your child crying and I just wanted to give her this bear if that's alright."

"Are you sure?" the mother asked.

"Of course. I still have two more over there" I said as I look over to Natsu.

I bent down to the child's level. "Hello there. I'm Lucy. Would you like this bear?" The girl nodded. "Okay, but you'll have to stop crying alright?" I sat the bear down on the ground and ruffled the little girl's hair. "Be good now. Bye~" The parents thanked me and walked off with their happy child. I walked back to Natsu proud that I've done a good deed.

"Come on, I'll bring you home" Natsu offered.

"Ohkay" I smiled.

Natsu drove me home in his red Ferrari. I sat in the passenger seat while the bears were put in the back seats.

Ten minutes later, we were in front of my house.

"Well, we're here" said Natsu with slight look of disappointment.

"Yeah," I said, "Thanks so much for today, Natsu. I had a lot of fun." I took one of the bears and left the other. "The other bear is for you. So we each have something to remember this day." I smiled.

Natsu blushed. "Thanks."

I opened the door and was about to get out when I remembered something. "Oh, I almost forgot" I quickly turned back to Natsu and gave him a quick peck on the lips before getting out of the car. "Good night" I smiled as I shut the car door and speed walked to the front entrance of my house before Natsu could reply. Loke opened the door and greeted me before I could even knock.

"Hello, my lady. Did you enjoy your day?" Loke asks.

"Yup!" I smiled brightly.

"Did something good happen? You seem to be in an especially good mood tonight" he questions.

"Something like that" I winked, "I'm going to go to my room now" I said before running up the stairs and into my bedroom. I shut the door and flopped down onto my bed. I brought my bear next to me and hugged it.

That's the revised chapter! Please don't hate me for taking out the couple part. The time will come! Thanks for reading!
