"whoa, seriously?" says gray
"wait, so how did they escape? did the miners dig them out?" says erza
"no, they had to go and get their heavy digging machinery to attempt that and it wasn't on hand at the moment, and even with it it would have probably taken them hours to find their exact location under all the earth and dirt" says carla
"so then... how in the world did they get out?" says lucy
"well things looked bad, I feared they would suffocate down there... then, the most astonishing thing happened" says carla
"hmmm?" says lucy
"a huge blast of fire came out from the rubble of the mine" says carla
"it was natsu's fire dragon roar, but this one was much bigger than before!" says happy
lucy, gray, and erza continue to listen shocked and intrigued by their story.
"indeed, and this fire dragon roar created a long slanted path down into the mines. soon after that, natsu and wendy jumped out of the hole and landed near us virtually unscathed" says carla
"yeah, natsu saves the day once again" says happy
"wow, I'll admit that's pretty impressive" says gray
"after determining the mine was too damaged to continue the miners moved to another location. after helping them with that our job was finished and we headed home" says carla
"I see" says gray
"so then, something must've happened between the two while they were trapped in that mine. a confession maybe?" says erza
"confession of love?" lucy thinks to herself
"hmm that's a possibility" says carla
"yeah, considering what they did on the ride home, now that I think of it" says happy
"huh? what did they do?" says lucy
"well we rode the train back home. normally natsu gets uber sick on trains or any moving thing, but with wendy's healing magic natsu felt fine the whole way. that and wendy was sitting in his lap the whole way home heh" says happy
"Whaaaaaaaaa?!" says lucy
"on his lap? really?!" says gray
"yup. heh they looked mighty cute together, gazing into each others' eyes, smiling and all" says happy
"you wait until now to bring thus info up?!" says lucy
"yeah sorry, it kinds slipped my mind" says happy
"wait, why didn't I notice this?!" says carla
"I think you took a nap or something. you slept in my lap hehe" says happy
"I did no such thing!" says carla
"hmm... so they are..." thinks lucy
meanwhile back at the forest natsu and wendy are sitting right underneath a large tree. wendy is in natsu's lap as natsu leans his back against the tree. the two lock lips for about a half minute. afterwards wendy gently tugs on natsu's bottom lip with her mouth as they pull back from the kiss.
"well it's getting late. guess we should head back in case a job comes up" says natsu
"oh, right heh" says wendy
the two then stand up and look toward the town then face each other again, holding hands.
"same time tomorrow?" says wendy
"yeah, same time tomorrow" says natsu
the two smile then head back up the path to the town with wendy holding on to natsu's arm. as they fade in the distance gajeel comes out from the bushes after he had observed them.
"eh? those two, together? great, first they get cats now they get dates? urrgg does that mean I have to find someone to date now? oh just great..." he says to himself
the day goes on without much of anything else happening. the next day however something rather interesting would happen.
the next morning its another good day in magnolia and most of fairy tail is at the guild in full force. wendy sits at a table wearing a short sleeve purple shirt with jean shorts.
"I hope natsu gets here soon" she says
as most of fairy tail is loud and rowdy as usual natsu along with happy burst through the entrance door.
"yeaaaah! I'm here! and I'm hungry!" says natsu
"when are you not hungry?!" someone yells
"ah! natsu's here!" says wendy getting excited
"ah, wendy!" says natsu
he quickly walks over and sits right next to wendy then the two face each other.
"you look... great today" says natsu
"oh.. you do too" says wendy
"wendy"
"natsu"
"wendy"
"natsu"
"wendy"
the two gaze at each other lovingly then suddenly they kiss each other passionately, forgetting where they are. soon every eye in the guild was trained on the twos' display of affection. it quickly got abnormally quiet as natsu and wendy kissed. as soon as they pulled back they looked around seeing everyone was staring at them.
"eh? hey, what are you all looking at?!" says natsu
"WHOOOOOOOA!" says everyone as the guild burst in shock
"so it's true, it's true! they really are dating!" says one guy
"I can't believe it! natsu and wendy?! a couple?!" says another
a group of guild members then starts singing.
"natsu and wendy, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-"
they then get blasted by a natsu fire attack.
"SHUT UP!" natsu says blushing
