Wow, it has been a while huh. I am dedicating this to my friend, user kattheneeko, who I met two years ago, and am very grateful that we are friends because they are amazing :), I will continue this story, eventually, just don't check frequently for it, imstarting college soon and my time will be sparse lol

Natsu was freaking the hell out! There she was, lazing around at the kitchen counter in her house after school, whining half-heartedly to her mother to make her a sandwich, when all of a sudden, she heard a tex chime from her phone. It was from Erza, it read, "I wanted to let you know, Lucy asked if you would be at Laxus's party tonight, I think she's going as well ;)"

She reread the text a few times, her heart racing more and more every time she did. Lucy was going to the party for her? Ok that's too selfish, but it seems she wants to see me there at least... shit I have nothing to wear.

She texted Cana to tell her to come over later and proceeded to bound up the stairs to her room, locking the door behind her. Natsu fell back onto her bed with a big sigh, looking over at the clock on her bedstand. She had roughly three hours before she had to meet the crew at school for the game, but she couldn't concentrate on anything right now, not when a girl that gorgeous might possible be interested in her. Natsu had never really made her attraction to girls that known, most people just thought she was straight. The fact was she preferred girls slightly more than guys, but she had never gotten a chance with one. Nobody had really ever caught her eye either way; though all her friends were beautiful in her opinion, they were much more like siblings than anything else.

Lucy however, she was different, she seemed like a really nice person, not fake at all. She wasn't even afraid to cry in front of Natsu! She was just, really pure from as far as Natsu could tell, and while she did find her gorgeous, it was actually really easy to talk to her, as if she'd known her forever, there was just something so comforting about that gentle smile and that ever-morphing face, it invited one to feel relaxed, as if they were basking in the warmth of the sun, her eyes like rays of light.

"Natsu!" her mother's interrupting voice called from the kitchen, "There's someone at the door, can you get it, my hands are full right now?"

"Sure, gimme a second!" Natsu said. Ugh, she could've asked Wendy to do it, she's been out with Chelia all day.

After oozing down the stairs in her melancholy, Natsu opened the door to find none other than Cana, she'd forgotten that she'd called the girl over.

"Hey sexy, you ready for tonight?" Cana said with a wink as she strolled in.

"If by ready you mean freaking the fuck out then yeah, yeah I am."

Cana walked through the house like she lived there, "Now, we can't have that can we, not when I hear you have hot date tonight!"

"Ugh, did Erza tell you? I can't believe she's making such a big fucking deal out of this, just because Lucy asked about me doesn't mean a thing."

The two found themselves in Natsu's room, making a mess of her closet, Cana was throwing out items left and right, forcing Natsu to try each on in a carousel of outfits.

"Oooh, I like this one," Cana nodded approvingly. Natsu now found herself looking into the mirror, wearing dark blue skinny jeans with a t-shirt and jacket on top.

"Are you sure, Cana? Won't people just be wearing spirit wear from the game since the party is right afterwards?"

Cana held up her hands, "Listen sweetie, you can wear whatever you like, I just want you to have a good time with Lucy is all"

Natsu groaned, settling herself down on the bed, lying on her back with a frown, "Yeah I know, I've never been nervous before, usually I just go with the flow at parties, but, I might not even drink tonight."

"What!?", Cana said, "Are you serious girl? I've never seen you refuse a drink!"

"Yeah I know but, I don't want to fuck anything up, "Natsu mumbled, hiding her face in a pillow. After a few moments she sprang up, "Fuck it, t-shirt and yoga pants it is, I'm gonna get wasted, and, I'm wearing that black choker."

Cana smirked, "Well, this is going to be interesting tonight, I'll make sure no one bothers you."

"Thank you, now let's get going, it's almost time for the tail-gate," Natsu said

"Wow, you really are going all out today huh?" Cana said, shaking her head mockingly. Natsu was the only person who Cana drove to parties, she had a soft spot for the pinkette. Anybody else and she would flick them off and go get drunk instead.

"Yep, tonight will be very interesting", Cana thought as she saw how excited Natsu was, bounding around the to tie up loose ends.
