A/N Hi everyone! I got time to make the third chapter and it includes some Nalu eheh. :3

After returning home from receiving the tickets, the two of them had the rest of the day to do whatever they want. It was a really warm day, so Lucy suggested that they go buy some ice-cream before going home to pack for the trip tomorrow. The sun was still high in the sky and people were roaming through the busy streets of Magnolia.

"Eh, Natsu," Lucy asked him.

Natsu looked to his side at Lucy.

"Yea?" he seemed really cheerful and calm.

Lucy didn't really knew what to say, she justed wanted to break the awkward silence between them.

"Do you want to go to Mango's or Tino's?"

(Mango and Tino were both really good ice-cream stores at Magnolia.)

"Hm," Natsu looked up and thought hard, "I don't know, which one do you like best?"

"I always choose!" Lucy replied, "This time, I'll go to whichever shop you wish me to go."

Natsu laughed. It was really gentle, yet a bit funny.

"Okay then, close your eyes!" He told her.

"Eh? Why?" Lucy was confused.

"Just do it!"

"Uh, okay."

Lucy gently closed her eyes and let Natsu grab her hand. He started running while dragging her along behind him. But also really gently to prevent her from falling. Lucy didn't protest, and so he kept running. Occasionally, Natsu had to hold her by the shoulders and push her to one side, to avoid objects or in some cases, people. Soon after about two minutes of running, Natsu started running slower and Lucy expected them to come to a halt.

"Okay, we're almost there," Natsu whispered.

"It's really hard running like this," Lucy turned her head away so Natsu wouldn't realize that she was blushing, as he still held tight on her hands.

"Here!" Natsu finally said, "But, you can't open your eyes yet!"

"Ugh fine!"

Natsu grabbed Lucy by the waist and slowly settled her onto a bench behind her.

"Natsu what are you-" complained Lucy, "Oh, thank you."

"Wait here!"

Natsu ran off somewhere and Lucy sat there waiting. After a short while she could hear footsteps running towards her. Little did she know that Natsu came back with two ice-cream cones in his hand.

"Okay, Luce!" Natsu said, " Give me your hand!"

Lucy hesitated, but held her hand out anyway. Natsu carefully wrapped both of her hands around the ice-cream cone. Being very careful not to drop it - as that would've ruined the surprise, and made a mess!

"Ready? Open your eyes!" Laughed Natsu.

"Okay," Lucy got a little excited.

She opened her eyes and blinked a few more times to clear her vision. In front of her, the item she held firmly onto, was a cone. Natsu went through all this trouble to buy her an ice-cream cone! She couldn't help but grin at this, which Natsu secretly noticed. It was a white and pink ice-cream scoop, her favourite.

"Aw thanks Natsu!"

Lucy's favourite flavour had always been either strawberry, or vanilla. She could sometimes have one flavour, and the other next time. But this one seemed to be mixed together, which was really surprising.

"Natsu, how did you?"

"I paid them a little extra to mix the two flavours in together," Natsu replied. He didn't care about the money and was busy occupying himself with the ice cream. His one was chili, which was really odd for any store to have this.

"Oh my god!" Lucy laughed, " Thanks Natsu!"

"Anything for you Lucy!" Natsu leaned in and gave Lucy a quick hug.

The two spent the next hour on a bench with their ice cream. Suddenly, Natsu was watching and laughing at the people who tripped over the bump on the road, when he felt a thump on his shoulder. He looked over to see Lucy's head leaning on him. Her blond hair was resting peacefully on him - it was clear that she feel asleep. Her hands were on her lap and she allowed her body to fully relax. Natsu watched for a while, before gently getting up to bring Lucy home. He held Lucy in his arms and walked back to Lucy's apartment.

Soon he reached his destination and walked over to the bed where he placed Lucy on. He sat down beside her and stroked her cheek, then pulling the sheets over her. She looked like a princess. That calming look on her face and her beautiful golden hair. Natsu was so lucky to have a best friend like her. He didn't want to distract her, so he walked off into a corner where he started packing his own things for tomorrow, along with some of Lucy's. But he left most of it for Lucy herself as he was unsure on what she wanted to bring with her.

After eating something and having a quick bath, Natsu also decided to go to sleep. He walked over to Lucy's bed and stood there for a while. Should I sleep here tonight? Natsu though. He hesitated and walked over to the couch, where he flung himself onto in exhaustion. The bath had given him a slight headache, and he fell asleep instantly.

...

The sun was shining in through the window and into Natsu's face. He made an ugly face as an attempt to get rid of the sun. But failed. Eventually he turned his back against the window. Suddenly, something made him to turn around and look at the clock - It was 10:30 am! Oh NO! Weren't they supposed to get there at 11? He shot up and ran clumsily towards Lucy. To his surprise, she was already up.

"Natsu?" Asked Lucy ,"Are you awake yet?"

"Yeah.." Natsu said.

"I finished packing the rest," Lucy continued, "Thanks for last night."

"It was nothing," Natsu replied with a grin on his face.

"I just made breakfast, do you want to eat something?" Lucy asked, gently smiling.

"Yeah let's eat something before we go!"

The two of them were quick enough in the end to reach to the guild in time. Everyone got there well earlier than them, and everyone is ready to go!
