The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 22

•Lucy's POV•

I woke up to the sound of something very unpleasant. Could you take a guess what that could be? Probably not. It seems I can never wake up to a nice normal morning. My mornings are consisted of waking up in nothing but my undergarments, Cana messing with me, and the Kale beast. My life sure has gotten adventurous over the couple months I've been with the wacky dragon boy Natsu Dragneel. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with everyone and especially him, but I just want one normal morning. Anyways back to me waking up!

"Gray-sama!" I could hear Juvia screech. What the heck did he do now? Maybe Erza finally beat him up for stripping. Who cares though, I'm very warm right now. But I kind of felt a slight coldness on my butt. Maybe it's just the wind getting to me! I don't really have a blanket with me, but I have Natsu.

"I was trying to save her!" Gray cried. Who was Gray trying to save? Process of elimination, there's only four other girls not including me. Who in the world would need saving though? I mean, we all can handle ourselves pretty well.

"She is so going to kill you for this stripper!" Gajeel cackled. Okay, I'm pretty sure it's either Erza or... Erza. Well actually, if Gray did something to upset me then I would surely kill him. But I don't feel anything wrong except the slight cold feeling on my butt, but my butt is also warm at the same time. It's just so weird, I don't really know how to explain it. I kind of want to get up and see what's happening, but the warmth is so nice. It's funny how some parts of my body are warm and my butt is cold, why is that?

"It's not funny brain for bolts!" Levy yelled. I heard some kind of whacking sound after Levy scolded him.

"This is actually quite comical don't you think Erza?" Jellal snickered. Hmm, something doesn't seem right. Jellal was usually never one to joke around, he is a calm and cool type of guy. Wait! If Erza isn't the one who's going to kill someone, then who is it. Okay Lucy, time to get off your lazy warm butt and wake up. Wait, why is my butt so warm now?

"What's going on?" I groaned as I opened my eyes. I regret my choice to wake up now, everyone was surrounding Natsu and I. They all jumped back and shrieked like I was a ghost or something, was I that scary in the morning? Natsu wakes up to me all the time and he's perfectly fine, what if he's just trying to be nice!? No Natsu would say it out loud and bluntly, so what was wrong?

"We're sorry!" Wendy cried as she kneeled in front of me. What did they do? Am I really a ghost? Oh stop being stupid Lucy! Obviously your alive and breathing!

"What's wrong?" Natsu shot up and looked around frantically. I also looked around, nothing seemed out of place. Igneel and Happy hugged each other tightly, which I find very weird. Gajeel was being carried by Levy, what in the world are they doing? I really don't even want to question them right now.

Erza was kneeled next to Wendy telling me to... punch her? Gray and Juvia were hiding behind a bush laughing nervously. Jellal was lifting his nonexistent eyebrow repeatedly at Natsu, which looked a bit funky with the marker and all. My eyes wandered over to Cana as she made kissy faces at me as she laughed like no tomorrow.

"What did you do?" I groaned. Erza shot her head up and looked away nervously. This was so unlike Erza, she was always so tough. They must have done something really bad for everyone to be so silent. But then I felt something very warm and unpleasant grab onto my butt. I tried to get up but failed when something kept me down.

"My butt!" I cried as I turned around to look. Natsu looked with me, and we both had red tomato faces after looking. Natsu's hand was on my butt, incased in ice. Only one person could do this, and I was going to kill him.
