OMIGOD I WAS TEARING UP WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE NALU CANON! I WAS SOOO HAPPY WHEN I HEARD THIS! I'M CRYING RIGHT NOW ACTUALLY SOBBING!

Chapter 7: The new guy

Natsu POV.

I'm actually doing this…I'm actually kissing Princess. She's even kissing me back. My hand grabbed the back of her head, pressing our lips harder. Our kiss continued until princess suddenly stopped abruptly. I pull back and my eyes widened, surprised at her reaction. Her brown eyes look away from my onyx ones, her face looked guilty. Why did she look guilty? Didn't she like me? She kissed me a while ago for over 5 minutes by the way.

"What's wrong?" I try to look her in her eyes but she adverts her eyes away from me.

"I'm sorry…I can't do this…"She murmurs to me quietly. She pulls away her hands from my grasps and slowly walks backward into the sparkling town.

I stood there on the cliff, thinking about what just happened. The sounds of the insects and the animals echoing through the night as if they are mocking me. All I know I was rejected by Princess.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" I shouted in the dark starry star like a dragon roaring as if they lost something important. In my way I did lose something that I really found precious.

Lucy's POV.

I ran away from Natsu. He must've been mad after I left, I heard him screaming. I don't know what had happened. When he kissed me I was so happy and I wanted it to last forever. Natsu took my first kiss away but I felt so fluffy in the inside but also I felt guilty. I didn't want to betray the boy from my memories. Surprisingly, I can only remember him more clearly than my other jumbled up memories…Hoodie…Sting…where are you? Didn't you say you will stay with me forever?

Flashback

Normal POV.

Her blond hair waving in the wind as she opened her window. She looked down and saw what she was looking for. There was a little boy a little older than her, her face lit up when she saw the boy looking up at her. His hair is completely covered by a small hoodie that he was wearing but his face visible.

"You're here again?" she smiled happily. Her brown eyes sparkled as she saw him grin back at her.

"I never leave that's a promise." he said to her.

"That's great…" She replied. Smiling once more. "Thank you…"

He grinned and climbed up the rocky walls of the castle. He climbed through her window like he does every day.

"You know if my dad finds you in here you will be executed" She warned him as she walked around her room.

"If he can catch me" he stuck out his tongue at her as he got through the window. She giggled knowing her father will never catch him.

"Well what are we doing to do today Hoodie?" She asked him as she sat on her huge fluffy bed.

"How many times I told you not to call me Hoodie, Princess?" He groaned at her as he plopped on her carpet.

"Well you keep calling me Princess and you wear a hoodie all the time. And besides you never told me your name." She explained. Hoodie's eyes widened.

"Umm… I don't want you to see my hair just yet…" He tugged on his hood further down, blushing a little bit. Lucy found that really cute. "And what do you want me to call you? Flat-chested weirdo?" he adds.

"Hey! I'm only 7 years old!" She excused herself. Hoodie laughs loudly.

"Oh! Do you have any of those delicious brownies?" He said his mouth filling with drool.

"Oh yeah, I promised you didn't I?" She grabbed a plate which is covered by tinfoil and hands it to Hoodie.

"Yes!" Hoodie rips off the tinfoil and begins to munch on the brownies. He realizes that he was being rude and hands her a piece. She smile and munches on the brownie.

"But seriously, when will you tell me your name?" She whines like a little child crumbs on her side of her mouth. He chuckled, she used her sleeve to wipe away the crumbs.

"Gramps told me not to tell you yet...but I will tell you sooner or later…" He promised her.

"Don't worry, I'll wait" She replies making Hoodie smile at her warmly.

"All right let's play!" She grabs Hoodie's hands happily.

Few months later.

Her mother had just passed away and Hoodie hasn't been visiting me anymore. My life just stopped and it became a dark dreary place. I sobbed in front of my mother's grave in her garden, sobbing for Mom and sobbing for Hoodie. A big hand lands on her shoulder. I turned around expecting Hoodie or my mother but all I saw was a creepy looking man known as my father's lieutenant Jose.

My eyes widened in fear and surprise. "Don't cry my little Princess" When Jose says the word princess, like a puppet master controlling his little dolls.

"I have a present for you myPrincess" He says to her. He leans toward her and whispered gruffly in her ear "I know where and who your Prince Charming is"

Lucy was shocked as he pulled away. "Hoodie is here?" Jose nods.

Hoodie is back? Jose had found him? How did he? How?

"H-how do you know about Hoodie?" She asked him stammering in the process. All he did was smiled creepily.

Well I didn't care and I rushed to the entrance of the castle. There standing in front of the huge door was a boy with spiky blond hair, lighter than hers; she stared at him with her brown orbs as he noticed her. If her eyes can widen even more, her eyes would've fallen out of her sockets. Hoodie simply stared at her.

"Hoodie...?" I murmured gently. Jose finally came in the castle and placed his hands on my shoulders. He did a certain hand gesture as if to say continue on. 'Hoodie' twitched slightly.

"Princess… I'm back" He smiled at me, glancing at Jose. Jose's face stretched into his creepy smile nodding.

"HOODIE!" I ran straight to 'Hoodie' with my arms stretch out wide. "OOF!" He said as I knocked him off his feet.

"HOODIE, HOODIE, HOODIE!" I nuzzled Hoodie missing him so much.

"Would you stop that?" He asked that nervously. I froze.

"Call me by my real name Sting… okay Princess"

"Oh okay, let's go play Sting!" I said happily. Sting's eyes widened, he looked behind to Jose.

"I'm sorry Princess but Sting has to travel with me across Fiore to settle the certain problems we've been having. Jose explained to me.

My face saddened and I answered with an "oh"

"So when is Sting coming back?" I add.

"5-10…"Jose answers.

"Days?"

"No…years"

"Oh…" I said sadly. My 'Hoodie' is going to leave me again.

"I have to leave with Master Jose, sorry for the inconvenience" Sting held my shoulders and stared at me. I noticed that his eyes were blue.

Sting and Jose left the castle; On the way toward the carriage, Jose whispered something harshly to Sting. Hoodie I mean Sting walked back to me, he gave a kiss on my forehead.

"Don't worry Princess I will come back so wait for me" he told me softly, I nod smiling reassuringly whiling blushing at his gesture. Sting then ran back to Jose.

It's already been 10 years already since Sting left and it's been 10 years since waited for Hoodie.

Flashback ends

Lucy's POV.

Tears left my eyes, for Sting and for Natsu. They were so alike as if they were the same person. I can't think, my head is hurting really badly. It's literally spinning.

"Lucy-chan! Over here sweetie"

I stop and look at the person who said my name. I stop to wipe my eyes from the eyes.

"Oh dear sweetie, what's wrong?" Miss. Misaki, she puts her arm over me, her wise gray eyes showing concern. My eyes start to water as I remembered what happened. I hugged her, sobbing quietly while she pats my head, murmuring comforting words.

It took a few minutes for me to settle down. Miss. Misaki looks at me "You want to join the fun? This party is just for you" She smiles warmly at me. I smiled back at her, she seems like a grandmother and somehow she resembles my mother. Again a piece of my memories flashed in my mind.

Flashback

A crying Lucy is standing outside of her castle. A boy comes up to her pulling her mother's arm to her.

"Queen Layla! Princess is crying and I don't know what to do" He pleads to the queen while pulling her toward her crying child.

"Oh sweetie, what happened?" She rushed to her little Lucy wiping away her tears with her hands. The boy with his hoodie looks at her caringly.

"M-mom…h—h-he wants to take Hoodie away" She whimpers as she points to Hoodie.

Hoodie's face darkened and Queen Layla noticed this. "Who Honey? Who wants to take your friend Hoodie away?"

"D-Daddy" She answers while sobbing. Hoodie ran to the castle's walls and punched it, he left a fist shaped mark on the side of the wall. His hood almost fell off his head but he quickly pushed his hood back on.

"Don't worry sweetie I will talk with your father alright?" She wiped away the last remaining tears on her daughter's cheeks.

"Now get ready, we're going to go to meet Grandma later on so you have clean up. Can you please go with Hoodie" Layla said to the children

"Okay Mommy!" She agreed taking Hoodie's hands.

Hoodie glanced back at Queen Layla who looked exhausted but he let Princess drag him to her room.

All Lucy didn't know was her mother will die later that day.

Flashback ends

After I finished crying, Miss. Misaki and me went around seeing the attractions the villagers set up for me. We passed a cake eating contest which Erza was competing in. And not surprisingly she was winning by a landslide. Even two of the contestants passed out from all the sugar. I sweat dropped as Miss. Misaki dragged me along. As we left, one of the villagers announced Erza as the winner, her arms in the air triumphantly. All the children cheered.

Gray had made a Winter Wonderland park; some of the villagers are skating around. In the center, the creator Gray was making a humongous ice statue of a Castle with many details sculpted in it.

"Hey Lucy!" Gray shouted from the center to me "How do you like this?!" His arms gesturing toward his creation.

"IT'S SO COOL!" I shout to him, doing the okeydokey sign gesture. He smiled at me and continued with his statue.

"Well Honey, I'll have to help with setting up more things, Try to have fun okay?" Miss. Misaki said to me.

"Oh okay… Thank you for comforting me" I smile warmly at the elderly woman.

"You're welcome sweetie" As she left her alone.

I walked around looking at all the attractions that the villagers set up for me. I came upon a part of the woods where a red light was seen flashing deeper in the forest. I walked closer toward the light and crept to see who is causing it.

There in an open field there was Natsu shooting his arrows which are lit with his fire. His face looked calm as he aimed at a couple of trees. He shot multiple at a time like the time when they met in the woods. Some of the arrows landed directly on the tree, slicing each arrow to one single point. This amazes me since no one can shoot arrows that fast. But that doesn't impress Natsu. He ran to the tree, his body lit on fire, and punched the tree. The tree groaned at impact but it stopped falling midway. He growled and kicked more trees falling like a dominos.

"THE FUCK?!" He shouts, His voice echoing through the forest. A few birds flew away from the nests.

I must've made him really mad after I left him. But how can I tell him that I don't like him that way and like him that way. How is he going to react? GAH! I CAN"T THINK!

"Stupid!" I said quietly to myself.

Natsu turned toward the direction I was, his expression softened. "I know you're there Princess…" He said quietly. I slowly walked out of my hiding spot.

An uncomfortable silence occurs between us.

"Why are you here Princess?" He started hurt found in his voice.

"W-well I'm sorry I left you, I had to think about a few things" I stammer trying to explain to him.

"About what?" He asked eyeing her with his animal eyes.

"About…Hoodie…" I said her childhood friend's name. Surprisingly his eyes widened at my answer and quickly changed the subject.

"Well did you have fun at your party?" he said, acting casually. I look at him in surprise but I acted along with him.

"It was great it was better since Gray showed me his Ice Castle!" Natsu growled at the sound of the Ice pervert's name.

Does he feel jealous? That's soo sweet… Wait don't think that. Think about Hoodie!

"Well you want to come with me to look around the village?" I asked him as his eyebrows rose.

"Really you want to go with me?" He asked incredulously.

"Sure you're my best friend and-…" I didn't finish my sentence. But Natsu didn't care; he smiled his Natsu grin and held out his hand. I smiled and took his hand and we walked out of the woods.

Somewhere in the town…

"Wow it's been a long time since I seen this village. Isn't that right Rogue!" A blond spiky hair teen told his dark haired friend.

"Why is this village so lit up?" 'Rogue' said to himself. "I don't know but let's just enjoy our return!" The blond hair man said happily.

"No Sting we have to look for Princess Lucy" Clearly Rogue is the serious one.

"We'll probably find that girl later but where is Lector and Frosch?"

That Rogue shrugged his shoulders…Sting looked around and at the corner of his eyes, he saw a blond chick with a pink haired guy placing flowers in her hair. The girl is smiling along with the boy grinning like a couple.

'Wait I know this smell! It's the Princess! With...' *sniff**sniff* '...With...I grinned, I look at Rogue for confirmation but he already saw Natsu and was looking for Gajeel.

"Well one problem solved we had found Lucy-chan" He grinned"...with my favorite Dragon slayer..."
