Before this chapter starts I just wanted to dedicate this chapter to Unicornblossem13 for PMing me and giving me ideas to help this series along. And thanks to all of you who have supported me through this

It's been a few weeks since Wendy had asked Lucy to help her with her sword fighting. Natsu was slightly impressed with Lucy's training methods. When they were training the routine was run the length of the field, stretch and a quick parry and thrust exercise.

Then when they weren't training they usually took on jobs. Most of them being successful and most ending up with Natsu blowing up a town. That is until September came.

"Luce when are you coming out we've been here forever." He sighed as he tried to lay down on the seat. Currently the two swordsman where out shopping for school supplies and clothes. "Natsu hold on. Your so damn impatient." Lucy retorted. Right after she stepped out in a black tank top, with a plaid shirt and a black blazer with a black pleated miniskirt with stockings and black leather ankle boots. Natsu started at Lucy with his mouth slightly opened. This went on for a while until he realized what he was doing and shut his mouth and said," it's good try another." Lucy nodded and headed back into the dressing room.

About two minuets later Lucy came out in a black dress with a gold dragon print over her right breast with a brown belt around her waist. She wore the black ankle boots again along with a coat that was slightly longer than the dress. "I saw this dress and thought of you. Isn't it cool." Natsu was still in shock for not spotting the dress earlier and all he could do was nod his head and give a thumbs up. Then Lucy looked at him weirdly and turned back into the dressing room to change back and make her purchases.

When they where walking home they spotted Gray. Natsu laughed and whispered to Lucy," hey Luce give me one of those pins you always have with you." Lucy didn't care at this point and just gave it to him in hopes it would get her home faster.

Natsu took the band he had on his wrist and hooked the pin. Then he pulled back as far as it would go and aimed. Then he released then grabbed Lucy's hand and dragged her to the nearest ally way. Then he heard Gray yelp and yell," What bastard did that?! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Natsu was failing horribly at containing his laughter. Lucy giggled softly as Natsu rolled around on the ground and as Gray repeatedly ran up and down the street to try and find the 'bastard' who shot the pin at him.

But after a while he had given up and Natsu's laughter had let up. Lucy walked along side him and tried to calm him down while trying to contain her own laughter. Then they separated to take their purchases home promising to meet up later. When Lucy got home she sat down in her living room and picked up the PlayStation4 controller and started playing GTA5. She spent at the very least two hour ramming in swat cars, police officers and innocent cars on the road. Lucy finally decided to look at her phone to check the time. And it read 4:32 so she picked the controller back up and kept playing and yelling, "I only had one star why did you shoot me!" for another 3 hours. Then she heard her bedroom door open and figured it was Natsu.

"Hey Luce? How long have you been playing GTA?"

"A few hours. Why?"

"No reason I wanna play too you got another controller?"

"Yeah" Lucy said as she tossed him the controller. They ended up playing till 1 in the morning and crashed hard on the couch.

"Luce come on talk to me! Please." Natsu pleaded as the fuming blonde stomped ahead. "Don't call me Luce!"

"But come Lucy why aren't you talking to me." Natsu said while jogging after Lucy. Then she turned suddenly and crossed her armed over her chest. "You know exactly why!" She exclaimed as she continued her march over to the guild hall. Natsu looked at her frazzled and pulled at his pink hair yelling, "Lucy there's the problem, I have not clue what I did wrong!"

Suddenly Lucy turned around and rushed toward and grabbed him by the scarf and tugged him toward the nearest alley way. "Hey Luce I know your angry at me for unknown reasons but why did you pull me into this alley way?"

"I told you not to call me that." The seething blond said.

"Whatever you still haven't told me why your mad at me and why we're in an alleyway"

"Fine I'll tell you. It's because of the way we woke up this morning and because we need privacy" Natsu looked at her confused for a few seconds and his face flushed red when the memories of this morning rushed into his head.

He remembered it so vividly, Natsu open his eyes to be met with Lucy's face. He panicked slightly only to realize she was asleep. He tried to calm his racing heart as he continued to stare at Lucy. Her hair was neatly tied up in a ponytail and her bangs flopped to the side of her sleeping face. Natsu thought it looked cute, until he caught something shiny in his view. He pushed back some of Lucy's blonde hair to see the before mentioned gold piercings that adorn her ears. He wondered way she wanted so many and why there wasn't any silver or bronze, just gold. The first day they met the first thing he saw was one of her gold earrings dangling from her ear and her hair then her sword.

All of them being golden.

He found himself being mesmerizes by the golden objects. He shook his head realizing that he was getting distracted and looked back toward the blond. "So do you remember know?" he shook his head no and shrugged realizing he completely forgot what she was talking about.

Lucy smacked her forehead and said," what the hell is wrong with you? I was talking about you spooning me in your flippin' sleep?"

Natsu gave her a face that said 'oh-well-I'm-stupid'. Lucy smacked him and continued her march to the guild.

Gray normally didn't care about the gossip and the affairs of the guild members but he seemed interested in the friendship of his rival and the new girl Lucy. Very like had happened since Lucy had joined. Only a few months earlier Juvia and Gajeel had joined after their war with Phantom Lord. That was the main event for a while, new members joined almost everyday but it was a shock to everyone when Natsu showed up with Lucy by his side. But it wasn't that surprising because the next day he found out that Natsu had promised to fight her when they had gotten back to Fairy Tail. Then he got his butt handed to him when they did fight. It was pretty funny. then those two and flamebutts sister trailing after them and the two disappearing for hours and hours.

It kinda seemed suspicious so Gray decided to follow the small group which turned out to be a really bad idea on his part. He had ended up following them and almost getting caught. Then half way, when Natsu and Lucy were shopping for school supplies he was stopped in his tracks by none other than Juvia. The blunette started wailing and complaining about him following her love rival or whatever. The people walking past them said that it was some kind of lovers quarrel.

So eventually Gray lost Juvia but also lost site of Natsu and Lucy. He just gave up and started heading to the guild. but was stopped when something hit his head then he ran around for the next twenty-five minuets looking for the dingus, that was supposedly Nastu.

"Hey do any of you know when fantasias happening?" Lucy asked. Its been a month since she joined and she kept on hearing about the contests and the parade that came after the fight fest. So she decided to ask around to try and get some answers. First was Mirajane. She had said that Fantasia was a festival which all of Magnolia celebrates. Then she asked Gray in which he responded, "it's the time of year when I can beat flame-brain's ass into the ground." Lucy sweat dropped and continued to question people.

At the end of the day she came to the conclusion that's there was a festival and that there's a parade that Fairy Tail participates in and then the fight fest. Oh, the fight fest was something she wasn't, really looking forward to. If you must know it was because of the opponents, like Gray, Juvia, and Natsu, all of which are strong in their own right. She was afraid that she wasn't gonna succeed in defeating them. Well to be frank she wasn't all that worried about Natsu seen as she defending him before. But the others are completely different. So she decided to let it slide off her back and sleep on it and to wait for the fight fest.

All of you must hate me. I am SO sorry. Let me explain. I just started off at my first year in high school and there's my virtual classes and then my friends and my boyfriend. I just haven't gotten around to writing, but my writings improved a bit. All thanks to a famous Youtuber I know.

Again sorry if this chapters too short. Still trying to work out a schedule and I'll be uploading in the next few days. Also PM me if you have any more ideas to make this story continue. Thanks so much 3.
