Celestial Breaker {A NaLu Story}

4: First Costco, Now Wal-Mart

Lucy

T-the Jura Neekis?! Seriously? I've only seen him play on TV and I even admit he's a pretty big fella. Yeah, big, strong, and fast as well as good. He's been rumored to retire last year but apparently never came around to it. I haven't met him yet during our game against Lamia Scale a month ago because he had some business to attend to. But now he's going to be the captain of the Allied Forces FC?! Someone pinch me!

"Lucy," an annoyed growl brought me back home to Earth.

I glanced at Natsu, who was crouched over a shopping cart eyes half shut annoyed, "Are you gonna buy that carrot or not? You've been looking at that thing for like five minutes now."

"Well I have to closely examine if it's a good carrot or not you know," I picked up the carrot bag in the cart to put the vegetable alongside its brothers.

"It smells like a carrot," Natsu crinkled his nose. "That not good enough for ya?"

I shook my head and started ahead of the shopping cart, Natsu grumbling behind but rolled after me nonetheless.

Jellal dropped us off at the local Wal-Mart so I could get some groceries for the rest next two days. Natsu just wanted to tag along because he didn't have anything better to do. At first I was happy he came but now not so much. I can imagine him being one of those naggy husbands that follows their wife around a whole mall complaining.

He's doing a good job right now.

Too bad he's gonna be someone else's husband while nagging though...

We continued on browsing the produce aisles of fruits and veggies. (Erza is staying over... she and Jellal went to her house to pack then come back to pick us up.)

It didn't take way too long for Natsu to become completely bored. I didn't notice, which was my fault. Because one minute I'm checking out some apples, the next I was lifted off the ground. I didn't squirm but I was shocked.

"Natsu," I growled glaring at him over my shoulder. "What are you doing?"

"I'm bored Luce," he put on his giant kid grin. "So I'm about to make this shopping trip fun."

"What are you -"

I didn't finish. No, more of like I couldn't finish. Because the next moment, my butt was already kissing the cold metal bottom of the shopping cart, half the groceries in the cart already pushed up to the side.

My mind clicked with the winger's plan of action. My hands grabbed the railings on either side of the cart.

"Natsu..." I growled.

But it was too late.

One second I saw an older couple beside us watching with confusion, the next they had to leap to the side as we sped past.

"SORRRY!!!" I shouted at them as Natsu laughed his head off.

Dammit! First chasing down Erza and Juvia in Costco because they threw paper plates at me while I was talking to Liam, now being plunged through the store with Natsu at the wheel. I have got to stop grocery shopping with my teammates!

Natsu grabbed onto the handle, one leg on the metal bar and skated us through the store.

"Alright Luce!" He started shouting. "What you need next?"

"Cereal!" I shouted.

"Gotcha!" He made a sharp turn into the cereal aisle skating down the rest. Other customers just watching us with shock.

Natsu grabbed a box which I thought he did randomly but nope. When he threw it at me, the familiar brand on the box told me he aimed and knew that it was what I wanted.
