A Small Collection of NaLu Chapter 3: Team Natsu, a fairy tail fanfic

Team Natsu

"Hey Luce," I set down my root beer on the table as the dragonslayer came up to me.

"What's up Natsu?" I asked.

"Not much, but I was thinking..." I nearly choked on my drink. Natsu, thinking? I laughed to myself. "Why are we still called Team Natsu?" I paused, I didn't really have an answer. We never really got to thinking about it.

I shrugged. "Do you want to change it to something else?" He shook his head.

"I want you to change it. Happy would change it to something like, "Fish." Gray would change it to something like, "Popsicles." And Erza would..."

"Yeah yeah," I muttered. "I'll think about it." Natsu flashed his signature smile.

"Thanks Luce!" He then proceeded to waltz over to Gray and start a fight. I shook my head at his actions.

"Sometimes that kid has no brain," I said to no one in particular.

For the next few days, that was all I could think about. What would we change our name to? I had gotten so used to "Team Natsu" that I couldn't get it out of my head. Power Squad? That was dumb. LNGEWHC? Too long, and still stupid. I had overheard a small group of kids who called themselves the "Soaring Skies." I actually liked the name. The kids on the team had nicknames like Raven, Eagle, Falcon, Blue Jay, Dove, etc.

I banged my head against the wall. I was sitting in the bathtub trying to think. Why? This was all I filled my thoughts with these days! I glanced out the window and looked at the clouds. That's it! I knew what we could call ourselves! Rising Flame! We had young members, such as Happy, Wendy, and Carla; Natsu was the core! Our flame!

Suddenly, I heard a crash. "Natsu!" I yelled. He was in my house again! And I was in the bath! My face burned. "Darn it Natsu, get out!"

"Sorry!" He yelled back.

"We got hungry!" I recognized Happy's voice coming from where my kitchen would be.

I quickly gathered up my clothes and went out to make the team some lunch. I ended up making some quick spaghetti, (with extra hot sauce for Natsu of course.) "So," Natsu said, his mouth full of noodles. "Did you figure out another name for our team?" I nodded.

"What about Rising Flame?"

"Why Rising Flame? Why not Rising Ray?"

"What? Ray?"

"Because your our center. The ray of sunshine that brightens up our every day."

I blushed. Aw...

"Actually, I wanted to name it Rising Flame because your our heart. You fill us with courage and determination. Isn't that better than anything I can do?" Natsu grabbed my arm and pulled me into a hug.

I felt heat rise up through my chest. "Thanks Luce." He said, flashing me a smile.

"No, thank you for making my day just that much better."

"Are we going to change it?" Wendy said. Shifting on her feet. I shook my head.

"Probably not. Do any of you want to change it?" Gray and Erza both shook their heads.

"It might have been my idea to have you two join together, but it was Natsu's team in the first place." Erza said, standing up. I remembered the original Team Natsu. It was just Happy, Natsu, and me. Of course, that didn't last long because Erza wanted Gray and Natsu to join together, but it was still fun with the three of us.

Gray stood up. "I don't want to change it either. I mean, flame-head does manage to get us through the rough stuff."

"I don't want to change it, I had some ideas, but I voted against it."

"It's 'cause she likes me so much!" Natsu exclaimed. I shoved him away quickly, feeling the heat rise again. Wendy was shocked, and Erza just laughed.

"Seems like his girlfriend doesn't like affection," Gray teased. I "Lucy Kicked" him across the guild. The boy bounced back up again and yelled, "I'm coming for you Star-Struck!"

Natsu's eyes lit up at a challenge. "Me too! I want to join!"

I chucked softly. "My teammates are weird!"

Great! Another chapter down! See you guys next week! And thanks for reading!
