Chapter 29

Desperate Distractions

"Natsu what are you wearing?" Lucy shrieked, her eyes comically wide.

"Don't you liiiiiike it?" Happy chirped as he flew circles around her head. He had been quiet the whole way there, mostly because he had been busy stifling his laughter.

"But..but why?" Lucy stammered out. She circled Natsu eyeing his attire critically.

"I just felt like a change." Natsu replied evasively. "It's not that big a deal."

"I guess not."

Lucy's tone was suspicious but she let the topic drop.

"Let's get on the train."

Natsu grabbed her wrist and dragged her aboard, glad for any form of distraction.
