Hi! So this is a story that I've been working on! So enjoy! (Sorry that I'm an awkward chicken nugget who doesn't know how to talk to people...) GO NALU!

HERE'S THE BETTER SUMMARY:

Ever since the Grand Magic Games, Lucy's been down in the dumps. She's upset with her performance during her matches, also with the fact that she's been getting hate for just being herself. She doesn't get it! Why do people say such mean things about her?! But then she's requested for lone mission! An Honor! She's so happy! Someone thinks that she could do it!

But when Natsu hears about the mission, he's frustrated. He won't be able to spend time with her! But then again, every "lone mission" Lucy has done was never really alone. Wherever Lucy goes, he follows. Always. Not because he thinks she can't take care of herself, he just...misses her. But this time, he's caught. And Lucy is Devastated! He said he believed in her! How could he say that he believed in her and then come to protect her! But when he explains himself, telling her that he only came to see HER and tells her that she's fine the way she is! It's all good again!

After that, Lucy goes on with her mission, without any one else. She wants to help her client and while doing that she'll prove to others what she's capable of! She's doing it for herself...and for him...

While she's off on her mission, Natsu is waiting restlessly at home. Waiting for her to come home. He knows how much this means to her... So he's doing it for her...

(Poorly done summary but I don't want to give anything away!This story will honestly be a slap in the face for any Lucy haters out there. But yeah... This is a poorly explanation for the explanation of this story. Sorry that I'm awkward and don't worry I don't write like this

(some swearing, some dirty thoughts, and it gets SPOOPY in some parts but nothing too bad, that's it!(No smut or gore and stuff) You may have a heart attack from all the fluff and cute moments though! (∩◕ᗜ◕)⊃━ ﾟ.*

I don't own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters. I'm just obsessed with it.

ENJOY PRECIOUS CUTIES! Love y'all! Please give feedback!

"Shit! The party has probably already started!" Lucy said between pants as she was running as fast as her small feet could carry her with a filled pink and yellow backpack. The moon and the stars that she adored so much being her guidance through the night.

The party that Lucy was supposed to be at about an hour ago was one that her and the girls had been planning for what felt like ages! They haven't had a sleepover since before Tenrou Island! With the fact that the 7 year long nap that the few of the guild members took and with the Grand Magic Games, they haven't had the time to plan or even have a girls night. After Fairy Tail had won the Grand Magic Games, that was when the girls had decided to have a sleepover at Fairy Hills in Levy's room. (She was excited to show it off for her and Lucy had just went through her books making it less cluttered.) It was a Girl's Night! No boys allowed!

Speaking of boys, the very reason why Lucy was so late in the first place was because of 2 stupid boys!

As she was walking home to pack for the party, her pink haired best friend, Natsu Dragneel and another best friend, the little blue exceed Happy, had followed right beside her kept trying to convince Lucy that she shouldn't go! Coming up with excuses like, 'You see 'em everyday. What's the difference?' and 'Why can't we come?' and 'Aren't we cooler than them?' and 'What about us?' and the usual 'What if something happened?'. Did he seriously think that something bad would happen? And if something did happen, she can take care of herself!

The more she thought about the situation, the more it perplexed her. Why would they make such a big fuss? The two had done this for every sleepover or any other trip she made. She didn't know what to think...

'Maybe he likes you…', a little voice said.

Lucy felt heat rise in her face as she slowed to a halt and shook her head, scolding herself for thinking such a thought. As if he would ever like her! He does all the things he does because he's her friend, not because he likes her! All he cares about is fighting and food and staying away from Erza's wrath! As if he'd care for someone like me... Natsu would never like or love her. At least not in the way that she loved him...How could someone so amazing like him fall for someone... like her?

He'd want somebody that he could fight alongside him and keep up. Someone who was strong like him, and wouldn't hold him back from his dreams. Someone who could give him the true happiness that he deserves. And this was probably what hurt Lucy the most... Lucy cursed. Cheer up me!, she thought. This is girl's night! No time to be moping and thinking about boys! Then Lucy perked her head up like a flower towards light and smiled brightly. Skipping slightly as she made her way to the gate of Fairy Hills and knocked.

"Who is it?" spoke a voice on the the other side of the door who Lucy recognised to be Levy.

"It's Lucy!" Lucy smiled as she heard the door click open and saw the blue-haired girl in her little orange nightie.

"It's about time you came!" Levy said in a teasing voice as said girl and Lucy hugged. "We thought you'd never come! Get in here, it's cold outside!"

As Lucy closed the door to Levy's apartment behind her and took off her shoes and coat, she looked around and saw all the girls there in the room chatting and hanging out. Mirajane in a yellow Fairy Tail shirt with matching shorts, was sitting on the couch braiding Erza's red hair, who was wearing her favorite purple PJs, while Wendy, in a simple light green nightie sat right next to her watching Mira's every move and had Juvia in front of her, copying what Mira had just done on Erza's hair with careful concentration. Cana (who was just in her usual day clothes right now) sat in front of Erza, snorting at something Erza had said, a barrel of alcohol next to her even though Fairy Hills didn't allow it. Lisanna and Evergreen were sitting on the floor painting each others nails while giggling about something while Bisca sat by them laughing with them. Sadly, there wasn't any sign of Laki or Kinana. They must be busy...

"Hey everyone! Look who came!" Levy said, getting everyone's attention. Lucy found everyone's eyes on her, she flushed slightly and waved. She was then greeted with hello's and other greetings in a mass mumble of friendly voices as each girl spoke at a time. Erza smiled and waved her over and patted the spot in front of her. Lucy had already taken a bath and was in her favorite light blue Pajamas with little yellow stars on them so she didn't have to worry about getting dressed.

"Sorry I was so late everyone," Lucy told them, arm going behind her neck, a bit embarrassed as she walked to where her friends were seated. "I got held up."

"It matters not. You're here and now we can have fun. Sit here, I'll braid your hair," Erza commanded, excitement on her face patting the floor in front of her fervently.

Lucy shivered as she thought of what would become of her long blonde locks if she let the great Queen of the Fairies work on her hair, but she sat down in front of her anyways, taking the ponytail she had it in before, as Erza began to brush out her hair with her fingers.

"So, what held you up anyways? We thought that you'd never show up," Cana slurred as she took another swig of her alcohol smirking mischievously, hoping that the blonde girl would fall for the trap, for Cana had a pretty good idea what, or more like, who held up the blonde.

"Natsu and Happy would not leave me alone!" the key-bearer ranted, arms flung out in annoyance. "They kept saying stuff like 'Why can't we come' and 'Why you gotta stay the night' and while I was trying to pack, they kept getting in the way! I had already kicked them out, twice might I add, and each time I'd turn around, Boom! There they were again whining! It was pathetic! When I finally got done and packed, they were clinging to my leg as I was trying to walk out the door! It was then and there that I had enough and 'Lucy-Kick'ed them away and ran as fast as I could here. They were just-OUCH! That hurt!"

"I'm so sorry Lucy. Please punch me for such unforgivable behavior," Erza said, ashamed. The red-head was combing through Lucy's hair when she came upon a knot. Fingers still weaving through trying to take care of the tangled locks gently.

"Um, that won't be necessary Erza. I'm sorry I shouted. You did nothing wrong. Don't feel bad," Lucy said, understanding the red-head and her quirks. Erza just nodded her head and deemed the Blonde's hair combed enough to start braiding.

"Anyways, I don't know why they're so clingy," Lucy pouted, puffing her cheeks and crossing her arms over her busty chest in a cute manner. "I mean sure, Happy's like the annoying little brother I never had but what about Natsu? Sometimes I think he's just too stupid to realise what he's doing..."

"They're both fools if you ask me," said Carla, who Lucy just noticed now was seated beside Wendy.

"That's not a very nice thing to say," Wendy said nearing the end of Juvia's braid.

"Juvia thinks that Natsu just cares very deeply for you," said the Water mage as she fiddled with the end of her lavender polka-dotted nightgown. "Juvia thinks it is very sweet of him."

"I couldn't agree more Juvia!" Mira agreed sighing and clapped her hands together as they were no longer busy with Erza's hair. "I think it is absolutely adorable! How he's always so worried and thinking about you, it's like a doting husband looking after his wife!" Mira then gave an evil glance to Cana, going along with the drunkard's original plan.

"W-what?!" Lucy's pretty cheeks were getting pink as she started to stutter and waved her small hands making random gestures and fidgeting nervously. "What makes you say that?! H-he doesn't think of me like that, I'm just his best friend! Hell, I don't even know if he thinks of me as a girl! Sure, he sneaks into my house all the time but he's only there to eat my food and other things-"

"What other things?" Cana asked, wiggling her eyebrows and nudging the blonde's shoulders. She loved how the blonde was so easily flustered. She was so fun to tease.

Lucy gasped as she thought about the "other things" that Cana was thinking about, making the pink on her cheeks turn into a dark crimson. "Y-you dirty birdy! I'll have you know that I'm still a virgin and plan on keeping it that way! Anyways it isn't like that! Not like that at all! Nothing happens between us! Get your head out of the gutter, Cana!"

"I wouldn't be so sure that 'Nothing happens between us!' Lucy. Didn't you tell me a while ago about how he wouldn't let go of you on your last mission? You said that he wouldn't let go even when you asked him to," Levy grinning wickedly, now catching on to the she-devil's and card mage's plan.

"T-that was only because we were in a crowded area and we didn't want to get lost!"

"I was on that mission Lucy, and as I recall, you were the only one who had his hand around your waist and it wasn't just throughout a crowded area it was throughout the trip, in truth it happens quite often now that I think about it, and you don't seem to mind. Also, in all the years I've known Natsu, he has only held you like that. Actually, other than Happy, I've never seen him be so gentle and kind with anyone except for you," Erza said as she put Lucy's now finished fishtail braid over her shoulder and started eating a strawberry cake that was suddenly in her hands.

"Juvia's darling Gray has told Juvia that Natsu is grumpy when you are not around. Juvia herself has noticed that when you are not around, he looks depressed and asks for you, not even bothering to fight sometimes. Juvia has also noticed how Natsu likes to show off to you whenever he wins fights," Juvia giggled with one hand covering her lips, her indigo eyes showing good humor.

"I've noticed that too, Juvia! Also how he always looks out for you, even when he's fighting! You know how rowdy and crazy the guild brawls can get. People, tables, bottles, chairs, and everything else flying all over the place. And yet you have never been hit. That's because you have a certain Pink-haired Dragon Slayer watching over you! He punches anything that comes your way!" Mira piped in, winking at the flustered girl. "Oh, and whenever you are not with him, he gets impatient and will go and find you~"

"W-what?!...Ah um…" Lucy was having a hard time explaining herself as these girls kept shouting out random situations. Some that were true, some that she has never even heard of before. She hadn't noticed until now but it was true that she had never been hit, (except for her first day of course and the time that he punched her). And did he really act like that when she's gone? Lucy felt as if steam was literally coming out of her ears. She wondered if she should call out Virgo to dig a hole for her to crawl and die in.

"Now I know for a fact that he sneaks into your bed when you're sleeping~" Levy said, poking her fellow bookworm's cheeks with an impish grin showing brightly.

"A little blue kitty told me that Natsu lets you wear his scarf," Cana smirked, then burped loudly. All the girls gasped and then all was silent. Everyone stared at Lucy, astonishment on their faces. Erza was actually so surprised that she had dropped her precious strawberry cake, the plate clattering on the floor as the crumbs flew from it. Evergreen overhearing the conversation, knocked over her green nail polish, spilling the contents onto the floor.

Natsu let's Lucy wear his scarf?! He never gives anyone his scarf! He's basically proposing to her if he lets her wear it! The girls thought.

One time while they were children, Gray had gotten his hands on Natsu's scarf in a fight. Let's just say that by the end of that day, Gray was in the infirmary for quite a while and that everyone knew to never touch Natsu's scarf again. From there, it just kinda became a known fact to never take the scarf.

On the other hand, Lucy didn't understand why they were so shocked by this. She hunched over herself as if she was trying to hide herself from the bewildered eyes.

It was true, though Natsu would only give it to her when it was just them. He would just put it around her neck saying that it just felt right and that she looked cold, even if it was pretty hot out. And in a way, it felt right to her too. The material smelt like him: campfires, evergreen, and spicy things. It was warm and comforting, and she loved shoving her face into it. It was just so cozy! It made her feel like she had a piece of him with her...She always made sure to give it back to him though. Though she always did it reluctantly...

"Yeah, so?" she said, feeling a need to defend herself. "He says that he doesn't need it because he's a Fire Dragon Slayer and is always warm. He gives me his jacket sometimes too an-Wait a second! Oh my goodness! What am I doing?!"

The girls were in hysterics, giggling and laughing over the blonde's silly and naive behavior, who was currently curled in a ball on her side on the floor with both of her hands covering her pinked cheeked face.

"Lucy! You are just too much!" Cana snorted, rolling over and releasing guffaws of glee. "We couldn't resist!"

"We're sorry, Lucy!" Mirajane giggled, but meant what she said. Mira put a hand on Lucy's shoulder. "You're just so cute! You're cheeks get all rosy and you look like a cute little kid! Plus, you know you love~ him. We meant no harm!"

"Yeah, Lu! We're just having some fun!" Levy assured as she gave Lucy a hug as said blonde sat up. That was when the celestial mage had a good idea. A wickedly awful, good idea.

"Oh!" Lucy sprung up as if she had not just been lying on the floor in embarrassment seconds before. "Well then in that case, you ladies wanna hear something else?" All the women in the room nodded their heads and came closer, happy that their friend was joining them on the fun. Anticipation in their eyes as they knew that the blonde was a very good storyteller so this had to be good. Lucy snickered at the 'story' that all the ladies were about to hear.

"So as I went to the O'Brien's Books and Sweets with Natsu and Happy to look for something new to read, we heard some familiar laughter in the back where you can sit and read. So, we went to investigate the giggles and... we saw it."

"What was it?" Wendy asked hugging Carla in her lap on the edge of her seat while the white cat looked only mildly interested.

"Why don't you ask her herself?" Lucy then turned to Levy. "So Levy, may I ask you? Why were you sitting on Gajeel's lap while you read when there was a perfectly empty seat right next to you?"

Everyone looked to the bluenette who had a red flush adorning her pretty face. Mere seconds passed before the blushing girl was accosted with questions of all sorts. Lucy sat back grinning and watched the chaos that she created. She was not one to cause the type of mischievous situation that was now present with this much company around, but she had to admit that revenge was sweet!
