Hey, guys! So, here is a new story! I've been wanting to write this one for a while, so here you go! Enjoy!

Lucy walked up to the new restaurant in town. Her family owned the only local produce store in all of Magnolia, and she was a delivery girl. A new family, the Dragneels had recently moved into town, and they were opening a restaurant in a week, called "Wind and Fire Diner". It was supposed to be a family restaurant. The people of Magnolia were delighted to finally have a family-friendly place to eat. The last diner was owned by a very old man, and he had passed away ten years before. Since then, everyone had been too scared to open a new diner. They didn't think that they could live up to the old man's expectations.

Lucy rang the bell at the side door of the building. She heard some yelling inside, and finally someone opened the door.

"Um, I'm here to deliver your fresh produce." Lucy held up the box of fruit and vegetables in her hands.

"Oh, thank you! I was just about to go pick that up. You didn't have to bring them all the way here." The man reached out his arms for the box. He had fire-engine red hair, and he had a warm smile.

"Well, I'll be going, then." Lucy turned to leave, but the man stopped her.

"Wait, come inside, won't you? We live just up those stairs. I'll meet you up there with a check for the produce." He motioned for Lucy to go up the stairs. "Oh, and my name's Igneel Dragneel!" He yelled to her as she walked upstairs.

"Mine's Lucy!" She yelled back.

When Lucy got up to the second story of the building, she walked into the open-concept living room/kitchen in awe. It was so much bigger than she had imagined. Looking at the building from the outside, it looked tiny. She never thought that there was that much space up there.

"Who're you?" A boy with messy pink hair sticking up in all directions walked up to her. His skin was wet and he didn't have a shirt on. Lucy felt her cheeks heat up, blushing.

"Um, I'm Lucy. Igneel told me to wait up here so that he can give me a check for delivering the fresh produce. Who are you?"

"I'm Natsu," he said skeptically,"Igneel's son."

"Sorry to make you wait, Lucy. Here's the check. That should cover everything." Igneel walked up the stairs and handed her an envelope.

"It was nice meeting you, Igneel," Lucy turned her head,"Natsu."

"Nice to meet you, too." Igneel waved to her as she walked out of the big apartment.

Lucy picked up her bike outside that she had left lying against the building. Thankfully, nobody had stolen it. A boy with sun-colored hair walked up to her. He had a cool aura about him. Of course, that made him the most popular guy in school. He was always voted homecoming king, so nobody even attempted to run against him. He was also the captain of just about every sports team the school had to offer. There was never any doubt that he was truly amazing.

"Hey, Lucy. How did your delivery go?" He walked up to her and pulled her into a kiss. She kissed back happily.

"It was good. But, you know Sting, there's a new guy that just moved in. I met him. You might have some competition there." Lucy smiled, her forehead pressed against his. It was like lightning wherever they touched.

"Oh, really?" Sting kissed her again, longer this time. "Maybe I'll have to knock him down a peg or two." Lucy giggled.

"Hey, we have to talk," Sting said, serious now. "I don't want people knowing that you're my girlfriend."

"Wh-what?!" Lucy pulled away from him, furious now.

"I'm just looking out for you. You know how many girls love me, I don't want them attacking you just because you're my girlfriend, you know? They can be pretty vicious."

"Looking out for me? Seriously? You think that pretending to not be boyfriend and girlfriend would actually be good for me?" Lucy started to storm off, but Sting caught her arm.

"Hey, hey, calm down. I'm just trying to be a good boyfriend. This whole commitment thing is kinda new to me, so I want to make sure that you don't get hurt, ok?"

"Yeah, I guess I get what you mean." Lucy sighed. "They would be pretty mean, wouldn't they?"

"They would, so I think it's best for you if we act like we aren't dating, ok?" Sting looked into her eyes, pleading for her to give the answer he wanted.

"Yeah, ok. I'll pretend that we're just friends."

"No, we have to act like we don't even know each other. And, I'm going to act like I'm dating Minerva, for appearances. That way, people can get mad at her, not you, and they won't suspect a thing."

Lucy started to get mad again, but she loved him, and she didn't want to screw things up with him. "Fine." That was all that she could get out before she hopped on her bicycle and rode away, trying to hide the tears in her eyes.
