September 16, Wednesday, Mrs. Evergreen's cooking class, 9:15 am

Lucy's POV

We were at Mrs. Evergreen's cooking class. Apparently we have a baking project, where we have to make our own recipe. She said that she was going to put us in groups of two, but to make it fair, she chooses our partners.

Groups:
Natsu - Lucy
Gajeel - Levy
Jellal - Erza
Gray - Juvia
Cana - Lisanna

Humph, I wanted to be with Levy, but oh well.

"Nat-" I call out to look to look for him, but I realize that I don't need to look for him.
All I need to look for is a crowd of fan girls.

"Oh man, why'd I have to get stuck with Natsu..." I complained softly

"Hehe! I'm so sorry for you, Lu!" Levy tries to make me feel better.

"Then why are you laughing? You're with someone even worse." I snap back, but in a sarcastic tone so I don't upset her. We both start laughing and Natsu starts looking at me, but I didn't know at the time

Natsu's POV

I see Lucy at the other side of the room, laughing with Levy. My cheeks turn red, without me knowing. Suddenly, something ugly blocks my view.

"Hey flame-brain, what're you staring at?" Gray complains to me.

"None if your business, Ice queen." I snap at him.

"Oh? The Pyro knows the word business? I didn't know he was smart enough to know such words." Gray mocks me.

"Alright, YOU WANNA GO GRAY?!" I yell at him.

"ANYTIME YOU'RE READY NATSU!" Gray yells back at me.

"NATSU!" I hear a familiar voice call my name.

Suddenly, my ear was being pulled.

It was Lucy.

"Owowowowowowow! Luce! Stop! Please!" I begged her.

"Stop getting into fights with Gray, we have a project to work on. And you girls! Get out, you're not even from our class!" Lucy bosses around.

So demanding, I like it.

"You heard my girlfriend, get out." I say as I wrap my arms around Lucy.

She looks at me and slaps me.

"YOUR WHAT?!" She yells.

What a Tsundere, cute.

I start laughing as Lucy's face tenses up even more.

Levy's POV

Great, I'm working with Gajeel.

"Look Gajeel, I don't care if you're a bully or just annoying. But we have to work on this project as a team. Got it?" I tell him.

"Tch, stupid shrimp. Whatever." Gajeel agreed. He had a wierd way of agreeing, but somehow I understood it.

"Now that you've had your fun, I'll explain a little bit more about your project." Mrs. Evergreen clears her throat.

We all quiet down.

"You are to do this project on your own time, which means during lunch or after school. Or the weekends. Your time is limited, so it's better to start early. Your product and recipe is due on September 21, Monday. Your product's name must be original. Good luck to you all!" Mrs. Evergreen explains to us happily.

Lucy's POV

"Luce, Wendy and I are coming over after school." Natsu decides without my permission.

"For the project, right?" I ask him.

He smiles at me and nods his head.

Time skip: 3:45 pm, Lucy's house.

Natsu and I started planning for our project. We decided to make a cake. We wrote down ideas while Wendy took a nap in my room.

Natsu's POV

I looked around Lucy's room, for inspiration. Everything was so neatly organized.

Hm? What's this? Keys?

"Luce! Why do you have keys?" I ask her as I hold out the keys.

Her face turned red and snatched them from me.

"It's... My mom's 12 golden zodiac key collection. She... She let me have it before she died.." She says as her voice cracked.

Lucy starts crying on the floor. I kneel down to hug her and tell her it's okay, that her mom would be happy for her.
That seemed to cheer her up.

Lucy got up from the ground and pulled out something from her bag.

She pulled out a handknit, white scarf and walked towards me.

"Here... Have it." She says softly, handing the scarf to me.

I wanted to ask her why she gave it to me, but I'm sure that it'll just upset her even more.

Some time later...

Lucy and I finally finished the cake. We called it the Golden Flame Cake, because of Lucy's golden keys and my fiery attitude.

We handed it in on the day it was due, and we got an A+.

End of chapter 5

Hey guys! I decided not to make Lisanna a bad character. Instead, I'm going to ship her with Loke.
Shell be a hoe at first, but she'll turn good, I promise. Also, I was a little lazy today so the chapter is extra crappy.
