Disclaimer: I don't own 'Fairy Tail'

A week to pair up - Prologue

All was quiet in the guild which was odd. Especially since neither Natsu nor Gray were on a mission. Lucy spotted Gray sitting by himself at a table and walked over to him. 'Hey Gray, you seen Natsu?' she asked him, breaking the silence.

'err.. yeah, he's by the request board.'

'Thanks' she said before going to the request board. 'Hey Natsu, hey Happy' she said, happily.

'Hey Lucy' Natsu said distractedly.

'What's wrong?' Lucy asked.

'He's in loooooove!' Happy whispered to her, just loud enough for Natsu to hear too.

'Oi! Don't go around saying things that aren't true Happy!' Natsu shouted at the blue cat. All of the guild looked at him. Cana even stopped drinking for a minute. Natsu blushed from all the attention. After a few seconds they went back to what they were doing.

Lucy looked at him a bit longer than everyone else but didn't try to ask him if he was in love or who he was in love with, she had a feeling that she already knew. she walked over to the bar to talk to Mira.

'What was that about Lucy?' Mira asked her. They both looked at Natsu and Happy for a moment before Lucy answered her.

'Natsu's in love!'

'Who with?' Mira asked curiously.

'I'm not entirely sure. But I think it's...' she leaned in closely and whispered Natsu's Crush's name in her ear.

Mira looked a little taken aback. She hadn't ever thought that Natsu may be gay before now. 'You sure' she asked the blonde.

Lucy seemed to think about it for a moment before nodding. 'Yeah. They seem to really like each other.'

Mira thought about this before saying 'yes, but they have known each other for most of their lives and they hate each other don't they? I mean, they're always fighting!'

Lucy had to agree that they were always fighting but she had known them for about a year now, as she thought about it she realised that she had actually known them for nearly 8 years. she knew that they both secretly like each other even if only as friends although she often suspected they liked each other more than friends. She would have to ask Happy later, sometime when Natsu wasn't around. As she was explaining this to Mira, Natsu came up to her (Mira) with a job letter. he showed it to her and she stamped it. Natsu then decided to see if Lucy wanted to come. She declined but told him to ask Gray.

Natsu looked sad that she didn't want to come with him but he went off to find Gray and Erza and ask them. Lucy jumped up at the thought of him asking Erza. 'What's wrong Lucy?' Mira asked her.

'Have to find Erza before Natsu' she said.

Mira looked at the girl and decided to help her. After all, she was meant to be the match-maker. Not Lucy. They found Erza quickly and explained the situation to her. She seemed to agree with Lucy that they were a good couple. The more Mira thought about it the more she believed it could work. She went off to find Happy and tell him not to go with his best friend.

Happy seemed reluctant to stay behind. He didn't like to leave Natsu by himself for too long. When Lucy explained that he wasn't going to be by himself, he was going to be with Gray the cat calmed down.

Mira, Erza, Lucy and Happy all watched the two boys leave the guild. They waited for about an hour before telling the rest of the guild what the plan was.

'Hey!' Lucy yelled. 'We have sent Natsu and Gray away on a mission by themselves!'

Many members of the guild groaned, everyone knew that that was a bad idea. Who knows what the boys would destroy?!

'We want them alone together so they can realise their feelings for each other' Mira quickly explained. 'The job they went on should keep them away for about a week. That's more than enough time for them to confess to each other. If by any chance they haven't by the time they get back then we have something planned. A guild party. It will happen the day after the boys return, if they are in a relationship or not. Everyone who comes must bring a partner!' Mira was excited. This was the chance she needed. With the party as an excuse she would be able to pair people up. She would have to hurry though. she only had a week to do it in...

Sorry it's so short (only 771 words) if people like it then I may do another part.

Please R&R and send me your suggestions with who Mira should pair up!

Thanks for taking the time to read it! :D
