A/N: Hey guys, sorry for the long wait, me and Gravity-Chan have been kinda busy these past few weeks, buuuttt here is a great chapter to get us back on track! Hope you enjoy it!


As they walked into through the pathways, green filled the trees and it all fascinated Lucy. After all, everything in a 15 feet radius of her house was just plastic or glass, but further out, where she was hardly ever able to go, there'd be beautiful green trees. Once Lucy had fallen asleep while ready under her favorite big oak tree, and Jude had spent 'hours' (or so he says) looking for her. She was never allowed to go out passed the guards again. She then looked down at the ground, its a dirt pathway. On the sides, small flowers of many kinds grew. A few short ones, and a few tall one like cat-tails is what they're called.

"Mother Nature sure is beautiful, huh?" She said to Natsu.

"Of course it is." He nodded as he stopped walking with Lucy when the group stopped. A kid that went by Liza, had asked Lisanna about one of the trees and why they looked like something. And of course, Lisanna explained. I unhooked my arm from Lucy's, and leaned against a tree nearby. I looked back to Lucy who was now chattering with a younger girl. The same one who couldn't sleep and Lucy was so ever kind to help her. Flare was her name.

Lucy looked up from the red headed child and asked everyone to come over here. "We'll set up our lunch here. Some of us are getting a bit hungry." She smiled and explained how we'd do it. Once everyone had set up their lunches on their blankets, they started to eat, gathered around Lucy of course, who was eating and telling stories to them. They seemed to enjoy it quite a lot.

Natsu was fascinated by Lucy's talent. Until Lisanna joined him. they sat a bit behind the group as they chattered. "So Natsu," She started. Her hair short white hair swaying in the wind. Natsu always liked her hair. He didn't like her, but he liked her hair... If that made sense. "You and Lucy seem to be getting a little close.." Her eyebrows wiggled as she nudged my side.

"Yeah so what Lis?" Natsu asked, clearly not wanting to talk about this, and wanted to go back to watching Lucy tell stories. He blocked out Lisannas voice to pay attention to Lucy, and once Lisanna noticed she had whined and pouted, but then became interested in Lucy's story as well.

"Well, she couldn't believe his hair color! It was totally absurd! She'd think. And then one day, he'd ask to be her friend, and help her learn to swim, and before the girl knew it, she started to like him!" She says with enthusiasm. Natsu blushes, as all these scenarios for with him. "And after that, the girl decided to try and stop talking to him because she didn't want to get hurt like she used to by her other boyfriends, but he never hurt her, he only hugged & tickled her!" She laughed as she started to tickle all the campers. And then after all the laughing, they would all say, "And They Lived Happily Ever After!"

Natsu joined in with them, and started to help pick up their lunches and blankets, and it soon dark by the time they got back to the cabins. Natsu was stuck in the back as he carried most of the heavier things with one of the older boys who was only 14. He had dark brown hair with green eyes and pale, yet tan skin, somewhat like Natsu's. He eyed the boy for a little until a tree branch had come in contact with his face. This caused him to let go of his things, and fall face first.

"Ooww!" He yelped as he pushed himself off the dirt pathway.

"Oh! Natsu are you okay?" He asked as he turned around setting down his things as well.

He was waving off Lucy and Lisanna, telling them they'd catch up, but 'Nurse' Lucy ran over, telling him to go back with the rest of the group asking him to carrying more things and asking another camper to help. As she helped Natsu up, she saw he couldn't put weight on his left foot.

"Natsu..." she sighed.

"Hmm?" He hummed as Lucy slung an arm around his waist, and his own arm around her neck, helping him walk.

"Please tell me that's how a normal ankle looks and it's not broken.." she begged, hoping she'd be right.

"Nope!" He said a little to cheery for him to be in pain.

"Aren't you in some kind of pain? I mean you just broke your ankle!?" She said as they wobbled down the dirt pathway, heading to the nurses office.

"Nah. I'm used to it." He said wincing as Lucy let go of him, letting him drop the the ground.

"Arg! Luce..." He muttered holding his foot and shoulder. "That hurt.." He cried out in pain.

"So your used to it?" She chuckled. Her blonde hair blowing in the wind.

He sat up, running his hand through his pink hair. "Not really." He muttered, his voice shaky.


*Natsu's P.O.V.*

I sit up, blinking a few times before noticing that there is wait in my lap. I see blonde hair and immediately think about Lucy. And remember last night. I rub my shoulder in pain, and my foot is numb, because I can't feel it right now. I chuckle, and Lucy toss and turns a little before lifting her head. She was wearing a muscle tank that had Camp Fairy Tail's logo on it. A pair of grey sweatpants, both garments are a bit loose, on her figure.

"Hey Luce.." I manage to get out, as the two of us lift our arms to stretch.

She blinks and then yawns. "Hey.." She says rubbing her eyes. "It's early, so we need to head back to the cabins okay?" She asked groggily.

I eye her, she has silky and soft blonde hair, her shiny white teeth, and her chocolate brown eyes, I always imagine them as a sea chocolate sauce you could be happy in and get lost forever and ever.

I hear her say something, but I don't comprehend it. So I ask her to repeat it. "W-Why are you staring at me?" She asked again, a blush crept upon her cheeks.

"Because.." I start, but the words stop in my throat. I want to call her beautiful, but I'm not sure if I should. What if she doesn't like me back, or what if she has had past relationship problems, so I might make it awkward between us.

But one part of my brain is thinking: 'What if she does like you..'

And so I start to say it again, this time more confident. "Because,"
