"oh yeah, you're one of the coolest friends I have. we go way back you know" says natsu
"oh... yeah, friends..." says lissana
she slumps down a bit disappointed by natsu's words while natsu continues eating. after a few seconds she sits back up again.
"say, natsu?..." says lissana
"hmm?" says natsu with pie around his mouth
"well um, if you don't mind me asking... what are some qualities that you look for... in a girl?" lissana says blushing a little
"eh?" says natsu somewhat confused
"I mean, what... what attracts you to a girl?" she says staring at natsu
"hmmm... well honestly I never really thought about that, so I can't really answer that" says natsu then goes back to eating
lissana continues to watch him eat still blushing a bit.
"say natsu, do you remember the fun games we used to play growing up together?" says lissana
"huh? oh yeah, some of them" says natsu
"oh good, I do too. especially... the kissing game we used to play sometimes.." says lissana
natsu suddenly stops eating and looks at lissana gulping down the food in his mouth.
"wait... kissing game?" says natsu puzzled
"yes our little kissing game when we were kids. I would ask you to find something for me and if you find it I'd give you a kiss and vice-versa. you don't remember?" says lissana
"ummm... n-no, can't say that I do. er sorry heh" says natsu nervously
he then eats up everything left on his plate quickly and wipes his mouth while rubbing his belly.
"mmmm that was good, I'm stuffed now. thanks lissana. uh well I'd better head on out of here, got evil wizards to burn, if I can find any haha" says natsu
he stands up and starts to walk towards the door. just as he passes lissana though lissana quickly stands up and stops natsu by putting her hand on his shoulder.
"natsu wait!.." says lissana
"huh? yeah lissana?" says natsu looking back at her
"uh... I.. gotta know..." says lissana quietly with her head down
"lissana?... what is it?" says natsu turning around to face her
lissana gathers up her courage then presses herself against natsu making him lean against a wall as lissana leans against him looking up at him.
"I gotta know natsu! do you like me?! really like me?! I mean, do you... do you think I'm attractive at all?" says lissana
natsu looks at lissana shocked at her sudden outburst.
"lissana uh, this is kinda sudden. well um... you are fairly attractive I'll give you that heh.. and I do like you.. somewhat.." says natsu nervously looking away and blushing
lissana gazes into natsu's eyes for a few seconds then backs up off him and looks down a bit.
"o-oh, I see. well that's good enough for me. s-sorry if I acted weird natsu" she says
"oh nah it's ok, I act weird sometimes too. you're still a great girl lissana" he says smiling
"really natsu?" says lissana
natsu nods then lissana smiles brightly blushing a bit.
"thank you natsu!" says lissana
"no prob hehe. well I better get going now, gotta go check on wend-" says natsu
before natsu finishes lissana comes up and puts both hands on his shoulders. natsu looks at her surprised as lissana looks down inhaling and exhaling then looks into natsu's eyes once again.
"natsu... um I feel like I owe you this. I'm sorry" says lissana
"huh?" says natsu more confused
just then lissana get close and presses her lips against natsu's catching him off guard. natsu's eyes widen stunned that lissana's kissing him and wants to pull away but his body won't let him. for a few seconds the two kiss then lissana finally pulls away with her entire face flushed. natsu stares at her still stunned and blushing.
"natsu I... I... I'm sorry!" says lissana
she then turns and rushes out of the diner hurrying down the street with face red leaving natsu standing alone inside still wondering what just happened.
"w-wait a minute... she just kissed me didn't she?... ahh, no way! lissana likes me that much?! no no no, what'll I do?! ahhhhhh so conflicted!" says natsu rubbing his head
meanwhile back at wendy's place wendy keeps looking in the mirror at herself as she has returned to her normal body size.
"w-what happened? I was all grown up a minute ago!" wendy says to herself freaking out a bit
she then realizes something and looks at the pendant she put on the table.
"maybe because... I took that off?.." she says
wendy walks over grabbing the pendant then comes back in front of the mirror putting the pendant around her neck. after pouring more magic into it the pendant glows and activates. in a few seconds wendy's body grows to a mature figure once again as wendy looks in the mirror.
"ah so that's it. the aging magic only works when I'm wearing the pendant and when I take it off I go back to normal. phew, for a second I thought it stopped working. hee hee just wait till natsu sees me like this!" she says happily
a little later on carla walks in the house and looks around.
