The Dragon and The Princess

Chapter 24

•Lucy's POV•

I just can't believe it, Natsu and I kissed. Not only did we kiss but he said he loved me, well technically. Natsu was probably a man of few words when it comes to romantic stuff, and I knew I wasn't. Well not the man part, of course I'm a woman! I just don't even know what to say, or do. Well that's a lie, I'm going to get my revenge with the help of Natsu and Happy.

I also can't believe Happy is going to help me. Usually Happy would tease me and snitch on me, but now he wanted to help me? Of course I love Happy, but he can be a pain in the neck sometimes. Happy had even become nicer to me over time, but still teases me like no tomorrow. I guess there is just no end to the teasing.

Natsu tugged on my hand a little harder as we ran down the hall. Everyone said they would be getting some more sleep. This is the perfect time to have my plan come into action, Gajeel and Levy will be my first victims. Then it will be Jellal and Cana, I feel kind of... bad about Jellal. I only feel bad for Jellal because he barley did anything, he still teased me though. But who cares, I will get them back for all the teasing.

Natsu was on my list for revenge but that kind of got crossed off, I'm so weak when it comes to Natsu. I couldn't pull a prank on Natsu even if I tried; that would be too mean. Natsu would probably pout and not talk to me for about five minutes like he always does. Natsu was just too adorable to prank, oh man I'm really losing my touch. What happened to the fierce Lucy Heartfilia? Well I kind of fell in love and so did all my anger.

   "Lucy keep up." Natsu called back. Natsu turned around and started to run backwards. Did he realize he could fall at any second? Natsu still had his hand attached mine as he ran backwards smiling like an idiot. Natsu started to make faces at me as we ran, What the heck did he think he was doing?

"What are you doing dork?" I giggled. Natsu stuck his tongue out at me, probably for calling him a dork. Natsu raised his eyebrows repeatedly as he made some more funny faces. Natsu was such a goof, this is also why I love him so much. Natsu always finds a way to make me smile doesn't he?

   "I'm trying to make you laugh," Natsu chuckled. "And it looks like I succeeded." He was right, I was bursting with laughter. Natsu jokes around all the time, but never has he made faces at me.

   "I feel like we've been running forever." I sighed. Natsu nodded and made another face, oh man that one was so unattractive. Natsu stuck his tongue out as he hissed. I think he was trying to be a snake... right?

   "It's because I took the long way." Natsu chimed. Suddenly my smile went down and I felt that prick in the back of my brain. Natsu purposely took the long way, why? I was just about to stop in my tracks, but I more like fell. Natsu quickly let go of my hand as I fell forward and he circled his arms around my waist.

I for sure thought I was going to have another twisted ankle or broken limb. I thought I was going to feel some pain, but nothing came. I fell didn't I? I could have sworn I fell into the stupid hard ground. Instead of a hard ground, I was lying on top of something warm.

   "You should really stop tripping on flat surfaces Luce." Natsu chuckled lightly. Oh this was perfect, I'm lying on top of Natsu now in the middle of the hallway. I tried to pull myself up, but Natsu prevented me from going anywhere.

   "Let me go." I pouted. I looked away because I knew my face was redder than Erza's hair. Natsu laughed some more as I started to squirm. I get that we are together now, but this is really embarrassing. Why you ask? Well it's because Natsu and I are in a very weird position. I was straddling Natsu's hips, and he was sitting there laughing.

   "If you stay like this Lucy," Natsu hissed. "You're going to have problems with Natsu Jr." H-Hold the front door. Did I just, did he just- Natsu Dragneel did not just say that to me, no way. Natsu was suppose to be innocent, not this! Today I expected to get some revenge, not this! When will my life be normal? Oh yeah, never!
