Chapter 9~ I'm being tickled to death by a dragon.
Disclaimer~ I do not own Fairy Tail, I would be rich If I did, so as you can see I'm not rich.
So I guess this Erza character is big and scary, has huge boobs, and can kick down three mountains. Natsu also mentioned she knows how to use swords to cut down people, I don't really believe it. I asked to hear more but Natsu and Happy refused to tell me anymore, because they were getting flashbacks.
I asked Natsu what Erza did to him and he wouldn't tell me. Erza must be one scary woman because she scares the hell out of Natsu and Happy. After the whole Erza discussion, Happy could not stop muttering about strawberry cake. Anyways back to the cooking, never in my life did I think, I Lucy Heartphilla would ever cook a meal for a dragon. I mean I cook for Natsu and all but not for more dragons than him.
Natsu had lead me over to a table with various cooking utensils which one in particular stunned me. Never in my life did I think I would have to use it again, the spatula. I tried to keep my distance from that utensil. The last time I saw a spatula or even used one was a very painful time. I remember having to fight that evil witch Angel, which caused me to hurt my ankle even more. Considering I won the fight with the spatula, it wasn't that bad, it's the fact I beat her with a spatula. Angel probably never thought she would be beat up with a spatula. It's kind of a funny story now that I think about it.
"So Natsu, who cooked for you before I got here?" I asked while shoving an apron on. Natsu just shrugged. What was that suppose to mean?
"Me and Happy just caught and ate fish." Natsu spoke sternly.
"What!?" I exclaimed. How could he just eat fish everyday of his life?
"I also eat a bunch of fire." Natsu mumbled. I felt extremely bad for Natsu, I don't even know why. Natsu jumped out of his daze and started to become excited. Natsu could really change emotions very quickly. It's very hard to read Natsu here and there because he brushes off his feelings.
"So Lucy what are you cooking me and my dad?" Natsu asked while pacing back and forth. Natsu had seemed extremely excited for this annual dinner. It was probably because he wanted to eat something other than the regular meal. Which is not a regular meal, since I got here Natsu has made me cook him hot wings. Not the regular serving of hot wings, but an excessive amount of hot wings. I didn't even think Natsu would like spicy things. It does kind of make sense that a fire dragon would like spicy things. Natsu just had a huge fricken appetite, I found it was extremely hard to please him.
Now Happy's a different story, I knew cats liked fish, but Happy loved fish. Happy would do anything for fish, I mean anything. Okay maybe not anything. Happy becomes crazed when he hasn't had any fish for at least two hours.
I still remember the time Happy woke me up in the middle of the night to cook him some fish, and want to know what's even crazier? I actually got up from my interrupted beauty sleep to cook that crazy cat some fish. I really wonder what Natsu and Happy would do without me, probably die of starvation. I'm just glad I got Gajeel and his dad out of the way because now I'm done with one and more to go sadly.
"I'm not going to tell you yet." I teased. Natsu pouted. Natsu was so adorable when he pouted, even if he is a dragon, he is still cute. I really need to stop thinking like that, when I think about those things I just want to crawl into a cave and never come back out.
"Why not Luce!" Natsu whined. Natsu stopped pacing and walked over to me. Natsu leaned in causing me to cling on to the counter for dear life. No nope no, I was not going to crack, Natsu was just going to have to wait for his surprise. Natsu was huffing and puffing hot into my face like no tomorrow. I tried to lean back further but no way was the counter going to move.
"You're going to crack Luce." Natsu whispered. What the heck was he doing. Natsu was getting to close for comfort. Wait, he's a dragon not human, I really need to stop using that excuse, I also need to stop talking to myself. I leaned closer to Natsu's snout, which I guess surprised him because he leaned back.
"Not anytime soon dragon boy." I whispered back. Did I just call Natsu dragon boy? I thought I was so clever picking a fight with a dragon. Natsu looked lost.
"Did you just call me dragon boy?" Natsu giggled. I could feel my cheeks heat up.
"So what if I did?" I retorted. I felt like a tomato from how red I was getting. Nice one Lucy, you when the award. Natsu's giggles had subsided and he said something that left me lost.
"I'm glad I got you." Natsu chimed. What did that mean? What was he saying? Nobody's ever said something like that to me before. Did Natsu even know what he was implying?
"W-What?" I stammered. No Lucy, you cannot fall weak to stuttering. Natsu gave me a huge smile and started walking off to Happy.
"I'm glad I got you, so I can crack a few jokes here and there." Natsu called back over his shoulder. My heart sunk, I felt like crying but I didn't know why. When Natsu said that I felt like he didn't mean it. The look in his eyes when he said it the first time was indescribable. It looked like he was saying it with a pure heart and adoration. Maybe I was getting a little ahead of myself, maybe he was kidding around. I brushed off my shock and strutted over to Natsu and Happy.
"Why do you have that in your hand Lucy?" Happy asked. Happy pointed over to my right hand.
"What do you mean?" I questioned. I looked down towards my hand realized I was holding something. It was the spatula. Why did I grab the spatula?
"Luce please don't kill me!" Natsu cried. Happy started to giggle as if remembering the incident. I sent a glare towards Happy telling him silently to shut up.
"Oh no Lucy is going to kill us with a spatula!" Happy yelled out. I gripped the spatula, trying to hold back my anger.
"I told you we would not speak about the spatula incident!" I cried. I started to chase Happy and Natsu around the room. Great Lucy, you're in another spatula fight. Happy flew up to the ceiling to watch me and Natsu's cat and mouse chase. I told myself that I would get the cat later, but my main goal was Natsu. Natsu was cackling like a crazy Juvia running around the room as I chased him.
"You'll never catch me Luce!" Natsu called back. He was right. There was no way I could catch up to him. Natsu might be huge but he sure could run fast. Natsu ran past the table which looked like my opening. I jumped up onto the chair then the table, and leaped. I threw my arms around his neck.
"Ha! I caught you!" I cheered. Natsu made a grunting sound and came to sudden stop.
"So what do I win?" I joked. Natsu looked at me and licked my cheek. Seriously I don't even know why he licks me. All I know is I'm as red as a tomato again.
"Why did you lick me?" I said while wiping the saliva off my cheek. Natsu just gave me a smirk and went and sat at the table with Happy.
"You didn't answer my question!" I huffed. I walked over to the table about to take a seat until I noticed something. What happened to Plue?
"Hey where's Plue?" I questioned. I felt a bit awkward after that whole chasing thing but I found a quick way out of that by asking a question.
"Plue left." Happy stated.
"What do you mean he left?" I asked. Where in the world would Plue of all people leave off to? Or should I say snowman?
"To the Celestial Kingdom." Happy said. I suddenly became alarmed. Why would Plue go there? What if Plue told everyone where I was? What if Plue was a spy? So many questions and who knew Plue was evil? Why did you betray me Plue!
"Why would he go there Happy?" I spoke seriously. I pulled onto Happy's whiskers which caused him to cry and yell saying I was mean.
"He said he needed to home." Happy whined. I let go of Happy's whiskers and got to thinking. How did Happy know any of this, Plue couldn't talk. All I ever got out of Plue was Punn! sounds.
"How did you understand him?" I questioned. I was literally seething with rage but I held it in and let the cat speak.
"Uhhh," Happy looked to Natsu for help. "He can speak now?" Happy said in a question like tone.
"He never left did he?" I deadpanned.
"And Lucy finally caught on!" Happy sang. Before I could grab onto the little devil he left the room in a rush. I threw the spatula to the ground and started cursing the cat and his evil jokes. I looked over to Natsu to see him still smirking.
"What are you smirking at Pinky?" I sneered. Natsu looked amused with the pointless conversation I just had.
"Oh nothing Luigi." Natsu beamed. I eyed him carefully and headed towards my seat. I was about to sit down until I remembered my unanswered question.
"Where is Plue actually?" I asked Natsu. Natsu looked like he was going to burst out laughing anytime soon. I could see Natsu was making eye contact with my chair then with me, going back and forth. I felt my eyebrows trying to leave my forehead. I let my eyes wander down to my chair to see Plue strapped with tape to the seat. What the hell? Were they planning to have me... How dare they.
"Is this your doing Natsu Dragneel." I hissed. Natsu couldn't hold it in any longer.
"You should have seen the look on your face." Natsu cackled. I started to cut Plue from his bounds and glared at Natsu the whole time. After Plue was free he thanked me with a high pitched "Punn!" and left off after Happy. I raised myself off my knees and walked extremely slow over to Natsu. Natsu thinks he such a prankster, just you wait Natsu, just you wait.
"Luce?" Natsu looked actually scared.
"Lucy?" Natsu tried again, I didn't respond.
"Please Lucy I'm sorry." Natsu whined. I got about a inch in front of Natsu and stopped walking.
"Please don't do what Erza did, I won't step on her strawberry cake again!" Natsu cried. I was kind of lost at the strawberry cake comment. I have no idea what came over me but I started laughing. When I say laughing I mean rolling on the floor and I was begging for air. I can't believe Natsu got beat up over stepping on someone's cake. Natsu looked at me with raised eyebrows.
"I think your eyebrows trying to escape your face!" I cackled. Natsu tried to look up onto his forehead which was the most adorable thing I've ever seen. Natsu looked a bit mad when he finally got what I was saying.
"You tricked me and you laughed at me." Natsu whined. I really couldn't stop laughing now, I was on a roll, literally. Natsu looked as if I had betrayed him but then was replaced with a smirk. I stopped laughing.
"W-What?" I stuttered. Natsu said nothing. Natsu started circling me like prey, I felt extremely uncomfortable. I was about to move up from the floor until Natsu pounced.
"Natsu!" I yelped. I tried getting out of his grasp but failed. I looked up to Natsu to see him with a playful look in his eyes. Natsu started to take his claw and slowly glide it up my side. It was ticklish. I knew exactly what he was aiming for. Natsu was trying to tickle me.
"Natsu no!" I hissed. Natsu started to cackle and that's when it began. Natsu ran his claws up and down my sides which I thought would kill me. I erupted with laughter and tried desperately to get him to stop.
"Natsu I can't breathe!" I panted. I didn't want to die from a tickle attack. The next thing you knew was Lucy Heartphilla, death by tickling.
Authors Note~ Guess who got distracted from cooking, this girl. Well I was going to do the cooking but then my fingers moved on their own. Maybe Erza will show up in the next chapter... you'll just have to continue reading won't you. Anyways you can throw and toss tomatoes at me if it makes you feel better, but I hope you like this chapter. The next chapter will contain Nalu of course and maybe some sword fighting!
Until next time
