'Luna Amissa?'
"Yes!" Lucy exclaimed excitedly. "It's an ancient celestial spell I discovered the other day in the guild's library."
"Is that the day by any chance the one when master punished us?" Wendy asked, walking alongside her.
Lucy nervously rubbed the back of her neck, smiling guiltily. "Uh yeah..sorry for bailing out on you guys like that. But it was just too amazing to miss out on."
The sky maiden sighed, shaking her head slightly. "Well it was mostly a punishment for Natsu-san though. We were merely 'caught along the way'."
The mention of his name sent shivers down her spine, and Lucy froze.
"Hm? Something wrong?" Wendy asked, stopping back to look at her frozen in place.
"Huh?" Lucy exclaimed, taking two long strides to catch up with Wendy and Carla. "Oh it's nothing! I just remembered something."
"Speaking of remembering.." Carla began. "What was the important thing that Natsu wanted to talk about with you yesterday?"
"Yeah." Wendy giggled. "He was so anxious and jumpy the entire day. The only person he talked to the most was Mira-san."
"That was so unlike him. Even the tomcat was clueless."
"I-uh..I don't know. We didn't talk." Lucy replied, looking anywhere but them, playing with her blonde locks.
"I find that hard to believe." Wendy said looking back. "He practically bugged you the entire day-AH Lucy-san are you okay?! You're all red!"
"Am-Am I?" the blonde mage stuttered, covering her face with her hands in a frenzy.
"Lucy-san? What exactly did happen yesterday?" Wendy asked, carefully looking at the blushing mess that was Lucy Heartfilia.
"I-He uh..He uh..Oh look there's Erza!"
She practically ran past Wendy, eager to escape the awkward conversation. But then, she suddenly stopped.
Because he was there with her.
Natsu Dragneel.
Lucy looked down, clutching her shirt in panic. 'What am I gonna do?' she thought, feeling her face heat up even more. 'How do I face him? After he..'
"Lucy!"
Erza's voice stopped her train of thoughts and she looked up to face the scarlet haired mage looking curiously at her.
"What're you doing?"
It was then she remembered that she was standing in the middle of the platform, looking down and lost in her own thoughts. She quickly waved her hand, dismissing her weird behavior.
"Oh nothing. Nothing. Where's Gray?"
"He'll be here any moment. What's wrong? Are you alright? You're all red in the face."
"I'm-I'm okay.." Lucy mumbled, stealing a glance at Natsu. Her heart nearly stopped when she saw him already looking at her, giving her a playful wink when they locked eyes.
"Yo Lucy!"
'This guy.' she thought furiously. 'He'll be the death of me I swear.'
Clearing her throat, Lucy looked him in the eye, determined not to falter. "Morning Natsu! And Happy!"
'If he's going to act nonchalant, then I'm too!'

Fanfiction"So.." he began, shifting to look at her now instead. "Why'd you leave?" There it was, the question she had dreaded from the start. Lucy closed her eyes, taking in a deep breath. Her hand shifted just a little, pulling away from his warm one. 'Becau...
