No good. This was going to be impossible.

It was the day of the radio show and here Natsu was, fretting about his outfit. He couldn't wear his usual outfit since he was going up to the Sorcerers Weekly building for the interview. There was no doubt in his mind that he would be recognized and since he wasn't going to be at the guild that day...the pinkette let out a frustrated sigh. This was harder than the S-class trials had been.

Natsu looked at the pile of clothes around him with a frown. It wasn't that he couldn't put an outfit together, he was rather good at it, he just didn't know what to wear.

"Natsu~" Happy called as he floated into the room. "Ah! What happened in here?"

"Nothing, I'm looking for a new outfit. Just trying something different." It wasn't a complete lie, but it rolled off his tongue smoother than he wanted it to. Natsu hated lying to the little exceed but this was just something that wasn't easy to explain otherwise.

"Oh. Okay!" Happy flew back out saying something about giving a fish to Carla.

It wasn't ten minutes before Natsu growled in defeat as he opened up his nightstand drawer, pulling out the little communication lacrima that was inside. He thought of Lucy as he activated it and it wasn't a minute before she picked up.

"Natsu? It's rare to get a call from you."

"Lucy, I need your help." He hated to say it but he needed the girl's opinion.

"What for?"

"Just get your fashionable ass over here and bring Levy with you." Natsu deactivated the lacrima, putting it back and going to flop on his couch while waiting for the girls. He knew it was risky in getting Lucy's help but he had an excuse in mind that would completely distract her and make her seriously help him. It wasn't too long before he heard two taps on the front door. "It's open!" the pinkette shouted, frowning as he heard a third pair of footsteps.

"Wow, this is a mess and we just cleaned the house." Lucy sighed as she caught sight of the bedroom.

"What's with all the clothes?" Levy asked as the pinkette walked to them.

"I need your help. I have no idea what to wear!" Natsu was internally freaking out. "I have somewhere to be today and I need to dress nice."

"Ooh, is this a date?" Lucy teased the teen, quickly squealing in delight as he didn't reply. Natsu gave Levy a glance, catching the knowing look she threw and nodded.

"Let me guess, you want stylish but not overly so. Something that suits you but doesn't." The celestial mage began to ramble on, pulling Levy with her. They tossed several different options at him, although most were rejected, before the found something that fit.

"I guess this means you'll be missing out on the radio show today?" Lucy asked, holding a shirt up to Natsu. She frowned, tossing the shirt back into the mess before comparing another she held under her arm. "That sucks, I was looking forward to listening to it with you."

"Sorry Luce, I can't ditch this." The pinkette said, clicking his belt into a comfortable tightness. "It's important to me."

"Wow, sounds like you really like her." she commented, looking everywhere but the pinkette. Natsu cringed lightly. It was strange calling his career a girl but instead of dwelling he just nodded. His singing was important to him. About as much as any girl he'd date. Well..that was a little bit of a lie but what she doesn't know wont hurt her.
