My past, your present, Our future

Hide and Seek

Lucy and Natsu stayed under that big tree.

"Hey!" Natsu exclaimed, jolting up and running to pick something from the ground. He came back with a stick and a cheeky smile as he looked straight at Lucy.

"What?" He asked.

"Look, Lucy, I don't wanna forget this place. It's been so much fun with everyone!" Natsu smiled a warm smile and looked at the grass.

"I know what you mean." Lucy replied.

"That's why we should put a reminder here!" His warm smile became a large grin.

"Reminder?" Lucy asked curiously, tilting her head to the left. Natsu ran and leaned on the tree, using a little thick stick to write on the tree's wood. Lucy stood up and saw him drawing an "X" mark on it.

"Your reminder is an 'X'?" Lucy said.

"I couldn't think of anything else....so." Lucy reached her palm out, gesturing Natsu to give her the stick. He gave it to her and she draw something on the wood. She stepped back and saw what she wrote.

"NaLu."

"What's NaLu?" Natsu asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It means, Natsu and Lucy. Anyone can put an 'X' on a tree, NaLu's much better so that when we go back here in ten to fifteen years, we'll remember."

"Oh yeah!" He exclaimed. Then suddenly the bell rang, signaling lunch time. "Oh it's already time, uh...you go on ahead, I'm just going to get some apples in this tree."

"Okay....then?" Lucy left, curious of why he would pick apples when there weren't any apples seen there. She ate lunch and went to her room. They were all exhausted from playing, but then then some boys came knocking in their door. Lucy opened it and it was Natsu, Gray, Sting and Rogue. Then Lucy, Erza, Yukino and of course, Juvia went closer to the door where they gathered.

"What's up Natsu?"

"Well, since tomorrow mornin' we're leaving. Let's play a game, together."

"What game?" Lucy asked. Natsu smiled.
"Hide and seek." They all agreed and went out of their rooms to play out on the forest near the boys dorm. They all huddled together to decide who's 'it'

"Rock, paper, scissors!" The all shouted as Natsu was the one who picked rock while all of them went with paper.

"Natsu, you're it!" They all shouted and ran, giggling at how angrily counted. Sting and Rogue helped themselves up the roof of the boys dorm and hid there. Yukino hid under the staircase where she was near the beautiful flowers, poking them and admiring how pretty they were. Gray ran into the woods hiding behind the trees with Juvia tailing him because she didn't know where to hide. Lucy hid at an empty room in the boys dorm, it was like a supply room.

"Are you there?" Natsu asked, it's like saying 'are you ready?'

"Not yet!" All of them shouted. Gray climbed up the tree and helped Juvia climb. Erza still couldn't find a place, but luckily someone pulled her and before she knew it she was behind under the table, not easily seen because it had long table cloth. She looked at who hid her and it was a boy with blue hair and a red tattoo on the eyes.

"ARE YOU THERE??" He asked again.

"We're ready!" They shouted. Natsu excitedly turned around and ran towards the middle of the place. He closed his eyes and heard rustlings from the trees, he turned around and ran to the noisy tree. He looked up and saw Gray hanging on the tree and Juvia helping him not fall.

"Gray, Juvia found you!" Natsu exclaimed. Gray fell from the tree, Erza saw it and was laughing to where she was. Trying to cover her laughter so she wouldn't get caught, but Natsu's ears could hear the slightest movement. Natsu's ears twitched and he ran to peek under the table.
