I know, I know I'm so sorry I didn't post on Wednesday or Sunday like I wanted to but I'm posting now so I hope you all enjoy.

"Luce. Hey Luce. Lucy wake up." shoving the blonde lightly, I quickly realized it was a lost cause. Waking her up is not going to be an easy task. Sitting back into my chair, I thought over the question that had popped into my head. 'What if they don't fall for it?' The question had been plaguing my mind ever since she confirmed that she wanted to tell the real story of how we met. It was pretty unbelievable as it was, but with my parent's standards, I don't know if we'll be able to make it.

"'Diiinnnnggg' Attention all passenger aboard flight 392, heading to Crocus, Fiore. We will be landed at Crocus International Airport in about half an hour, at 1:00 in the morning. I know it is quite early but my co-pilot and I just wanted to wish you happy travels and enjoy your stay."

Looking over at sleeping beauty resting her head peacefully on the headrest behind her, I decided not to wake her just yet. I didn't want her to be mad at me when we finally arrive at my parent's house because I woke her up for no reason on the plane. Thinking about now, I realize that my dad would absolutely love her. She's smart, independent, strong-willed, hilarious, beautiful, polite but mean and bitchy when she wants to be. I'm getting way off topic here. Before I know it 30 minutes fly by, hahahaha involuntary pun, and we landed in Crocus. For some strange reason, Lucy still didn't wake up when I tried to wake her. Looking at her chest, I could see the even breaths going in and going out so I knew she wasn't dead. Just really, really, really tired.

"Hey man, looks like your girlfriend ain't wakin' up anytime soon. Want me and my girlfriend here to help you out." The man sitting behind me asked. I looked up to see a man, about my age, with deep burgundy hair and a huge straight scar going through his left eye. When he talked I could see two pointed canines apart from a set of perfectly straight and white teeth. His girlfriend was small, like Lucy and around the same age as her too, with short purple hair and beautiful green eyes. She stood quietly and kind of nervously with a small calm smile on her face. Both of their eyes told me that they just wanted to help.

"Sure, that would great man, thanks," I said smiling brightly. "Hey I'm Natsu, and this is Lucy."

"Nice to meet ya Natsu, I'm Erik." He said, returning my smile with a grin and shaking my hand.

"I'm Kinana, very nice to meet you. And can I just say you guys are really cute together." She said squealing a little bit. I smiled brightly at the both of them again before thanking them once more and picking the sleeping blonde up bridal style. "Where are you guy coming from?" Kinana asked, trailing after me with her's and Lucy's bag.

"We're from Magnolia, go to school there. This is kind of like a 'meet the parents' vacation. She stayed up all night yesterday worrying about whether they were gonna like her or not, so she just knocked herself out with a couple melatonin and hasn't woken up yet." I explained smiling down at my 'girlfriend.'

"Is she usually hard to wake up in the morning?" Erik asked swinging my bag nonchalantly while holding his own bag over his right shoulder.

"Yeah, she is. I could come in with an entire Marching band and she still wouldn't wake up." I huffed out.

"Ha, Kinana is the same way. Sometimes I'd be able to blow an air horn for 5 minutes straight and then other times if I just touched her with my feet, which are somehow always cold, and she wakes up almost immediately, start screaming her head off, and then make me sleep on the couch." Erik said chuckling a little when Kinana smacked him with her bag. They were a nice couple also.

"Ahhh, women." I sighed, slowing my pace to be even with them. "So how long have you two been together?"

"Almost 5 years now," Kinana responded proudly.

"Wow, and you guys haven't ripped each other's heads off yet?"

"Surprisingly no, we graduated last year and have been traveling around ever since. We just came back from my parent's house in Oaktown, spent Thanksgiving with them and are going to Kinana's parents for Christmas." Erik said placing both bags in one hand and hugging the small girl to his side, smiling.

"Congratulations, I'm so happy for you guys," I said smiling widely and looked around to find the Baggage Claim sign. "Well listen, it was so nice to meet you guys and here's my number if you ever want to meet up sometime before you leave Crocus so you can actually meet Lucy," I said smiling and handed my business card to Erik. He read it over and smirked before chuckling some.

"You're a law student." He said interested.

"Yep, Criminal Defense. Luce is a Med student wants to be a Neurosurgeon." I stated proudly.

"Nice, well good luck to the both of you. See you around?"

"Yeah definitely." Erik and I shook hands while Kinana waved a small goodbye and they went off in their own direction while I stood Luce up of her feet. "Hey, Luce. Luce, can you wake up for me?" I asked softly, hugging her toned body to mine. I could see her eyelids fluttering open before closing again at the bright lights.

"Mmm, did the plane land?" She asked confused out of her mind.

"Yeah Luce it did, we're in the Baggage Claim area right now," I stated, trying to hold in my laughter at the confusion spreading widely across her face. "I carried you off the plane and this really nice couple helped bring our bags over." I continued, holding her face up with my hands. She wrapped her hands around my muscled forearms and sighed deeply before yawning. I smiled at her cute button nose scrunching at the action before kissing her temple and dragging her to the baggage carousel, despite her complaints.

After getting our suitcases, we headed over to the exit and hailed a cab to take us to the city. Crocus Airport was about 15 minutes from the actual city, but my family lived on the other side of town in a more suburban rich area. That took up the rest of the time. Handing the driver a $20 and telling him to keep the change, Luce and I stopped for a minute and stood staring at the house.

"Are we really doing this?" I asked breathlessly. My anxiety has the absolute worst timing in the history of the world. I've been all calm and cool throughout the entire trip and now, when I'm staring at the front door of my parents, I feel nauseous.

"I'm sure we'll make it. Everything's always better when we're together." Lucy said, smiling genuinely before humming 'Better Together' by Jack Johnson, quietly under her breathe. I chuckled quietly before lifting my hand and knocking gently on the large polished mahogany door. It slowly opened to reveal a beautiful woman with medium length salt and pepper hair, layered and looked very similar to Diane Keaton.

"Hey mom, I want you to meet Luce."
