what if Lucy Heartfilia, popular girl, and Natsu Dorkaneel as he's called, have more things in common than they realize? Like what if they both play a game called...MageQuest?

{Friends are at the last place you look}

Natsu laid his binder down carelessly, sighing in eagerness with a large grin. Cracking his fingers he quickly logged in onto the computer, his fingers moving a hundred miles a minute. He urged the computer to hurry and load, ecstatic when it did. He opened up the browser and quickly typed in the url, logging in once more. When it finally loaded the video game he wanted to play he felt his stomach jitter.

He was currently on level 98 of MageQuest, which meant he was nearly close to the 100 mark. Once he got there he knew he would be able to beat the dragon Acnologia and win the grand prize of seven million jewels.

He was so close!

He grinned to himself determinedly, sucked into the world of gaming. An hour ticked by in the computer lab when students began to arrive to school. Natsu's eyes were glued to the computer screen, not even hearing the sound of the computer lab door opening and the clicking of high heels.

In walked Lucy Heartfilia, one of the populars. She wasn't the queen bee or anything, but she hung with that crowd due to her good looks. She was mostly quiet though, sitting around and writing her novel.

So when she noticed Natsu, she couldn't help but slightly jump in surprise, even more surprised when he didn't acknowledge her. Her eyebrow twitched and she decided to get his attention. Putting on her stupid blonde act, she scuttled over to him and hung her bottom lip out, jutted in confusion. She tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention, glaring into the back of his head.

He hummed "Go away Stripper." Making her snort in indgition and disbelief. The nerve of this guy! Who does he think he's calling a stripper?

"Excuse me." She practically hissed, jabbing his shoulder with her razor sharp nails. Natsu, finally feeling the numbing pain coming to his shoulder, whipped around to be face to face with Lucy Heartfilia.

Natsu was surprised to say the least to see a popular in the computer lab. Usually the geeks and nerds were the only ones in there. He leaned back in his chair, raising his eyebrows impatiently. He didn't have time, he was nearly finished with the stupid wyvern!

"What?" He made sure to show his feelings in the one word, stretching it out to be two syllables. Lucy rose her eyebrows in shock at the rude boy's behavior, never in a million years-

"Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia," She put emphasis on her name, trying to give him a hint. Yet he still seemed unimpressed, startling her once more.

"And I'm Natsu Dragneel." He actually smiled this time, seeming kinder than what she first thought. She offered her own smile and sat down next to him, turning the computer on and logging in. She turned to him again, leaning over to him.

"I was wondering if you could help me fix my ema-" She stopped mid sentence, her jaw dropped and staring at what he was currently engrossed in. Noticing her stare he rose an eyebrow, waving a hand in front of her face.

"Lucy?" Natsu asked in confusion, wondering why she was so shell shocked. Her eyes slowly shifted to him, a certain bright, excited light in them.

"You play MageQuest?" She asked in disbelief. Natsu grinned his fanged grin, ready to boast about being the all mighty Salamander, when a sudden thought registered in his brain, leaving him jaw dropped, also.

"No way. You play MageQuest?" He asked her back, beyond shocked. He couldn't believe a popular knew how to play anything except Facebook and Instagram. Suddenly she smirked at him, jaw jutted out like she was about to boast like he had been moments before. Her brown eyes twinkled and she nodded her head, looking off into the distance.

"Well, I don't like to brag or anything, but I'm a level 85 mage." She crossed her arms over her chest, trying to hide her smirk. Natsu grinned cheekily, crossing his own arms.

"Really? I'm a level 98." He watched as her eyes widened and her lips formed a pout, a whiny noise coming from her lips.

"You're no fun!" She joked, punching him lightly on the arm before she perked up again "That's the same level as Salamander!" She smiled softly, making Natsu raise an eyebrow.

"Well, actually I am-"

"I'm on the Salamander's friend list, basically his best friend." She nodded her head up and down pridefully.

"Really? What's your user?" He asked her curiously, wondering if she was serious or just making it all up. She opened her mouth to speak at the exact same time the bell rung, making her actually droop in disappointment.

"I'll tell you in English." She winked before quickly turning off her computer and exiting the room. Natsu stared after her, the words not sinking it.

He turned robotically and turned the computer off, not really understanding what had just happened. Was he being punk'd? Or a dream of some sorts? He didn't know. He shook his head to clear it before exiting the room and walking to first period.

(what the hell breaker isn't working) x.i.i.x

Natsu zoned in on his DS, biting his tongue in concentration. His eyes darted up to Gray who was doing the same, a smirk coming to his lips.

Glaceon fainted!

"YES!" Natsu whooped while Gray cursed profanities, throwing his gaming system onto the table. Natsu jumped up and danced backwards, rubbing his victory in.

"I win, you lose hahaha stripper!" Natsu elated, but by the way he said it it sounded like . like a computer generated voice, making Gajeel snort. He waved his arms and walked backwards, running straight into someones front with his back. He heard the sound of books dropping and instantly turned around, only to be forehead against forehead with none other than Lucy Heartfilia.

"...Sorry." He felt his chest tighten, unable to speak above a breathless whisper. Lucy looked down bashfully, blushing cutely. Natsu reared back and rubbed his neck awkwardly, trying for a smile.

"I just came by to tell you to go to the Galaxy server and look for-" A call from outside stopped Lucy, making her frown.

"I'm sorry I gotta go." She huffed, turning around at the door and waving to him one last time. He waved entranced, snapping out of it when she closed the door.

Gray automatically burst out laughing, falling out of his chair in the process.

He picked himself back up only to take a deep breath in, his eyes landing on Natsu making him laugh again.

"Oh Natsu-kun I love you sooo much~ Natsu-kun Natsu-kun!" Gray squealed in a high pitched voice, mimicking Lucy. He bat his eyelashes and looked off into space, laughing once more.

Gajeel snickered a few times before turning away to try and smother them, his shoulders still moving up and down with chuckles.

Suddenly Natsu's face felt really hot for some odd reason. "Shut up!" He huffed in annoyance, picking up his DS and stomping out of there, trying to save some dignity.

Celestial Maiden is now online

Natsu grinned happily, immediately teleporting to her.

Hiya!

Yo~

I'm waiting for someone

I'm waiting for someone.

Natsu blinked at the computer in surprise, eyebrows arching.

Really?

Yeah, you can wait with me if you want!

Thanks!

And so they did. They waited, and waited, and waited until finally giving up and signing off, disappointed.

The next day Natsu did his same routine only to find Lucy in the computer lab before him, surprising him.

"You weren't on last night."

"You weren't either." Natsu noted. Lucy rose her eyebrow in confusion, shaking her head.

"Yes I was! I waited with Salamander!" She promised. Natsu felt his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You're Celestial Maiden?" He asked skeptically. He felt his heart quicken, a slight blush rushing to his cheeks. She
