Lucy was incredibly excited. Today was the first day of spring! Lucy loved everything about spring, but the thing she loved the most was the cherry blossoms. Cherry blossoms are the prettiest during spring, and she couldn't wait to see them in full bloom! Of course she had a ton of work to do though. She was falling a bit behind on her rent so she has been doing missions non-stop to earn money. Plus their was another thing on her mind. Her love for Natsu. She had a huge crush on him since the day they met. Of course she was way too scared to admit it though. She was planning on telling him some time this spring, she just didn't know when.
Lucy ran down the stairs. She had slept in and she was now late to meeting natsu to discuss what mission they're going to do. Lately she's been doing missions on her own so she didn't have to split the reward 50/50 with natsu, but natsu said he was fine giving her all of the reward so she agreed. Normally all the good missions are gone pretty early in the morning, (not only that but natsu seems to always choose weird missions.) So she was insanely angry at herself for sleeping in.

As soon as she walked into fairytail natsu ran up to her screaming "LUCY!" She turned to look at him, feeling a little embarrassed cause everyone turned to look at her. She walked over to him and said "natsu! I thought I told you not to scream my name anymore!" Then sat down next to him. "Sorry" he replied, then motioned towards the mission he chose for them. "Look we just have to steal this necklace back and we get 100,000 yen!" Natsu said obviously very proud of himself for picking such an amazing mission. "Wow that's great natsu! When can we start?" Natsu looked puzzled then read the mission flyer again. "It says we can start... Oh um... Next month" he looked a little embarrassed realizing his mistake. "Oh natsu you know I can't take missions so far away, my rents due next week! I need a mission we can do now!" Lucy replied. She was sad she couldn't do this mission with natsu. She loved spending time with him, but recently they've both been busy.
"Well" Natsu said "how about we take today off and try again tomorrow?" "Fine" Lucy replied. "Do you want to hang out at my place?" She asked. Maybe today we can go on a real date! She thought. Then she realized that that would require her to actually admit her feelings and then have natsu feel the same way back. "Sounds like fun! Let's go happy!" Natsu replied. "Yay!" Happy said.
