/Author's Note/
A few days ago I saw my little brother playing an online game. I don't know what kind of game online it is, but I saw him partnering with his friends; there were 4 of them including my brother. They went together everywhere, supported each other, until they could kill the monster. And I was like, "Wow! that's such a great teamwork!" I saw one of his friends were a fire-mage, which is cool becase he/ she could cast some kind of 'fireball' magic and kaboom! The monster was annihilated! And that was just so great!
Sorry for the mistakes in grammars and spellings..^^;

-ONLINE-
Fairy Tail Online Game.
It's the newest RPG-Adventure Genre online game. Easy controllers, simple yet challenging story, good graphic and sound effect, and many more, makes it became one of the most popular game in no time, especially among teenagers. There are many jobs you could choose, such as Knight, Priest, Beast Tamer, Blacksmith, Fighter, Archer, and Mage. As for Mage, it's divided into Fire type and Ice type.
Honestly, I, Natsu Dragneel, am not very interested in online game if it's not because of my friends forcing me to try. They even made a new account for me. But, they chose a girl character and named it 'PinkDragon'! Hellooooo, I do like dragons, but why did they have to attach the word 'Pink' and choose girl as my character? "That's because your hair is pink! Hahaha!" was all they said to me. Damn, right. Haha..
First time I logged in, I thought I was gonna feel bored in no time. But after I 'graduated' into a Fire Mage, I felt like falling into this game deeper. Sometimes I even prefered to stay at home playing FT Online rather than hang out with my friends.
I met lots of new friends there. 'ScarletKnight', a scary red-haired-knight-women who already reached lv.200! (I'm still at lv.127 haha). 'SkyPriest', she said she was a 15-year-old girl in the real world named Wendy. She's a very good girl since she never asked me to pay her everytime she healed me, not like the other priest haha. And many more, such as 'Alc0h0lGunn3r', 'MetalFreak123', 'LucyGurl', 'FishL0ver', 'Blue-Worm8ook', etc. Sometimes I would go hunting in a group, but sometimes I'll just go by myself.
And then, I met him about a month ago. We took the same job as a mage, except he's an ice mage and I'm a fire mage. We're also on the same lv.127. Almost everytime I went hunting with this Ice Mage. We got along really fast since we loved to tease each other while chatting, although we didn't know each other in the real life.
(Friend) PinkDragon logged in.
IceBuster: Yo, Pinky!
PinkDragon: Stop calling me that, ice-freak.
IceBuster: Hahaha. You're the one who named your character 'PinkDragon'.
PinkDragon: I've told you before, it's my friends' stupid works! Geezz...
IceBuster: Now, now.. A lady shouln't pout too much, you know. Haha.
That's right. This 'IceBuster' person doesn't know I'm a boy in the real world because I'm using a girl character! Great. Thanks to my friends, they're such a geeeeenius. Well, but the other half was also my fault because I didn't tell him myself. It's because I was so afraid he would hate me and we wouldn't be able to hunt together again. I've never had this kind of 'best friend' relationship even in the real world. Although we never see each other in personal, that's fine with me. I still consider him as my best friend. That's why I've never told him until now. *sigh*
PinkDragon: Whatever. Where will we go for hunting today?
IceBuster: How about 'Dark Cave'? I heard there's a boss monster in there.
PinkDragon: Boss monster? Perfect! Let's kick it's butt out! Off to the 'Dark Cave'!
Well, I must say, this was one of my favourite part in FT Online. Kicking monsters' butts! Hahaha!
(Party) IceBuster Level Up!
IceBuster: Yes! I'm lv.128 now!
PinkDragon: No way! But I almost there too! Grrr! Take this, you damn skeleton! Fire Dragon's Claw!
(Party) PinkDragon Level Up!
PinkDragon: Now we're even. Hahaha.
Suddenly, the cave was shaking like it's having an earthquake. Then the boss monster appeared.
(Boss) Skeleton King lv.150
IceBuster: Whoah! It's huge! And it's lv.150!
PinkDragon: It's okay. As long as we stick together, we're not gonna lose to it. We're making the best teamwork ever!
IceBuster: Yeah, you're right, pinky. Let's go!
PinkDragon: I told you to not call me pinky, you ice-freak!
That was the last words I could type. The 'Skeleton King' suddenly launched some Bone-Missiles. But we managed to dodge them all, thanks to IceBuster's Ice Shield that froze them all for a few seconds so we could escape.
After a long battle that drained our potions until both of us had no more in our item-bag, we just had to finish it with one last shot to kill it.
IceBuster: Looks like this is gonna be my last spell, pinky. I have no more magic power left. Haha.
PinkDragon: Me too. Let's put all of our strength into this one last blow and finish it off!
We ran as far as we could from the 'Skeleton King'. Luckily, the Skeleton King's movement speed was very slow so we could buy some times to cast our last spell. And finally, we're ready!
IceBuster: Ice Make-Ice Cannon!
PinkDragon: Fire Dragon Roar!
The final blow strikes the 'Skeleton King' and it fell down!
(Boss) Skeleton King / HP 0
PinkDragon: Yes! We woooonn! Woohoooo~!
IceBuster: Phew.. Now we're totallyrunning out of magic power. But at least we won. Hahaha.
PinkDragon: Right! Now let's go back to Magnolia. Hahaha.
We're back to Magnolia City, the main city in FT Online. I was so excited after killing that skeleton! Another mission accomplished! Hahaha!
IceBuster: Oi, pinky..
PinkDragon: What?
IceBuster: Could we meet?
PinkDragon: Yeah, sure. Where? In front of 'Forbidden Forest' as usual? I need to refill my potion for now.
IceBuster: No.. I mean in the real world.
W-what? Oh no this is baaadd...
PinkDragon: Haha.. W-why so sudden?
IceBuster: Well.. We've been hunting together for almost 2 months. And I think we really match each other. Haha. You've told me before that we're living in the same town, right? Even on the same age, 18. Also, I want to know more about you. You know, curious? Hahaha.
PinkDragon: ...B-but I-
IceBuster: Tell you what. Let's meet up the next Saturday in front of 'Pasta House Restaurant' at 12 o'clock. You know the place, right? We could have a lunch together. Hehe.
Crap! Think, Natsu! Think! Errrr...Aha!
PinkDragon: But how do we recognize each other? I mean, we've never met before nor see each other's face. I don't think it's possible. Haha…
IceBuster: Hmm.. You got the point..
Natsu you're a genius, man! Save-
IceBuster: Anyway, why did your friends nicknamed you as 'PinkDragon'? Is it because you like pink color?
PinkDragon: Nooooooo! It's because of my hair!
Eh? Did I just tell him-
IceBuster: That's it! You don't need to recognize me because I'm the one who's gonna recognize you for your pink hair. I've imagined your beautiful pink hair already. Hehe..
*blush* I've just found someone who said my pink hair is beautiful! Aaaahh! Knock it off, Natsu! Of course he would think it's beautiful for a 'girl' to have pink hair! And stop blushing!
IceBuster: One more thing. Please wear a pink clothes too. Just to make sure it's really you. Haha.
PinkDragon: Y-you're kidding.., right? Haha..
IceBuster: Of course not, you silly! Hahaha. Oh, I better go now, my friends have been waiting for me. Don't forget next Saturday, 'kay? I'll be waiting for you. See 'ya, pinky!
PinkDragon: Hey! I haven't say yes-
(Friend) IceBuster logged off.
Oh. My. God. What am I gonna do nooowww?
(Friend) PinkDragon logged off.

This. Is. The. Day! I actually don't like this meeting idea. At. All. But I'm gonna hate myself more if I didn't keep the promise with my 'best friend'. The other problem is… I don't have any pink clothes! (yeah of course, why would I have any?) Aaaargh… Wait. Unless…
"Lisannaaaa!" I get out of my room, knocking my sister's room.
"What is it, Natsu?" She opened the door.
"I need…your help.." I gulped, took a deep breath, and finally said it. "Actually… I have a promise to…meet someone today.."
Her eyes widened in surprise. "Really? Kyaaaa~.. My big brother has now officially grown up~! So, who is this lucky girl? Hehe.. And what do you need my help for? I'll be veeeeery glad to help you with your first date~.." She smiled and looked very excited.
"I-it's NOT a date! Besiiiide, this is a boy we're talking about, not a girl. He's my friend in FT Online and we promised to meet each other today at 'Pasta House Restaurant' at 12 o'clock. He asked me to wear….pink clothes so he could recognize me easily. The thing is…I don't have any pink clothes.. I mean, why would I have any, right? Hahaha.."
"So it's a boyfriend? It's okay, you're still a grown up boy now for me~.." Lisanna giggled and then looked at the clock. "It's 11.30 already. Alright, I'm gonna lend you my pink sweater, it's a little too big for me anyway. Come on in~.." Lisanna offered me to come inside her room. After searching for a few minutes, she gave me her pink sweater. When I tried it, it really fits me, even too well.
"…Isn't it..a little bit too 'girly'?" I looked in the mirror and saw myself wearing a pink-bunny-sweater. It has two cute long bunny ears on the hoodie, some frilly things on the sleeves but not too much, and the most annoying part is the bunny tail on the bottom at the back of the sweater that swings everytime I move! This is totally ridiculous! I looked ridiculous!
"Uh-oh.. Look, it's almost 12 o'clock! Now, go! And good luck on your date, my finally-grown-up-big brother~!" She pushed me out of her room, pulled me to the front door, and opened it for me.
"It's NOT a date!" I shouted to her as I ran, forgetting all the bunny stuffs because I don't wanna be late.
===online===online===online===online===online===
I arrived in front of 'Pasta House Restaurant'. Looking at my watch, it's 11.55. Which means, that 'IceBuster' person is gonna arrive soon! What am I gonna do? What am I gonna say to him? What if he hates me after he knows who I really am? What if-
"'PinkDragon'?" Suddenly, someone tapped my shoulder from behind. I turned around and saw a handsome boy in front of me, raven hair, blue shirts, long jeans, wearing glasses. Wait. Did I just say 'handsome'?
"Hello? Are you 'PinkDragon' in FT Online?" He waved his hand in front of my face because I was in a blank-mode for a few seconds. "It's 'IceBuster'. Haha."
"Y-yeah. That's me. N-nice to..see you… 'IceBuster'. Haha…" My voice was cracking like crazy!
"Nice to see you too." He smiled widely. "And you're cute~.. Hehe." He pinched my cheek a little, making me freezing. "Well, shall we go inside and have a lunch?" He grabbed my hand and dragged me into the restaurant.
The next thing I know is, I was sitting in front of him, ordered some food and drink. And while we're waiting for the food to come, we had a little chat.
"I'm Gray. Gray Fullbuster. What's your name?" He offered me his hand.
"Natsu..Dragneel." I shaked his hand, felt a little uneasy waiting for his reaction.
"Wow, you're hair really is pink." The raven hair chuckled. "But it's cute. It really matches with your pink bunny sweater. Haha."
C-cute? What the-
"And your blushing makes it even cuter. Hahaha."
"B-blushing?" A-am I blushing? I didn't even realize!
"Hahaha. You're such a cute girl, you know!" The raven then released his glasses.
I blinked. Whuuaaaaatt? This 'stupid' Gray person still recognizes me as a 'GIRL'? Where did you put your eyes, ice-block! And damn this bunny sweater for making it worse!
Before I could protest any further, the food's coming. So we ate while that ice-block told me some of his stories. As for me, well, I just laughed nervously hearing all of his stories but not once I told him mine. After we finished eating, that ice-block offered to pay all the bills which of course I totally refused! But he insisted so he really paid all the bills. Such a 'gentleman' for being a perfect boyfriend. Haha.. Then, we headed out of the restaurant.
"Hey, Natsu." He said. "I was wondering. Could I ask you a question?" His face became so serious suddenly.
"S-sure. Go ahead. Haha.." I was so nervous. This is it! He's gonna figure out that I'm a boy and now he's gonna hate me-
"Are you a 'tomboy'?"
"Yes!" I screamed not realizing what's the question was. Silence. Eh? 'Tomboy'?
"Hahaha I thought so. Because you cut your hair very short and spiky and wearing a pair of long jeans, also you pout a lot." He laughed. "That's okay, you're still cute anyway. I mean, that's what makes you cute~! I don't like a 'too-girly' type either, you know."
I gripped my hands hard and gritted my teeth. Gray Fullbuster! Didn't your kindergarden teachers and your parents teach you how to tell the difference between boys and girls? How could you be so idiot!
I grabbed his head unconciously and pulled him closer, forced him to face me. "I'm not a 'tomboy'!" I shouted out loud in front of his face. "I AM a BOY!" His eyes widened. Then I panted because of exhaustion, anger, mad, and even embarassment. Crap! What have I done! I released his head and turned away, tried to run away.
"Wait!" He grabbed my hand, preventing me from running away.
I looked back to him, still a little bit upset. Now what? He still don't believe me I'm a boy? Should I just 'show' him? Grrr… I twitched my eyes only to have him pulled me into a freakin' bear hug!
"I don't mind you being a boy! In fact, you're still a cutie for me and I like you!" He bursted out while hugging me.
I was so shocked. W-what? Did he just say he l-likes me? I felt hot inside as the heat rushed to my cheek.
"Okay alright I get it! Now let me go please. Everyone is staring at us you know!" Yes. We were in front of 'Pasta House Restaurant' where lots of people came in and out staring at our 'romantic' behaviour.
He let go of me but still had his eyes on me. Well, I hate to admit but he really is good-looking. And maybe.. I think I kind of… have a 'thing' for him too. But just a little bit for now. Haha.
"Sooo… Could we sometimes go out together again? You know, just hang out or watch a movie and something." He smiled softly.
I thought for a while. Well.. Nothing's wrong with trying, right? At least he doesn't hate me. I smiled back and answer, "Yeah.."
