POV: Lucy

Me and Natsu were approaching the backside of the house when I heard a loud 'thud' from behind me. I turned to see Natsu had tripped.

"God I don't know why I'm doing this!" Natsu groaned as he got up off the ground.

"Oh quit complaining." I said as I moved aside a bush and it opened to a small clearing next to my house and I looked up.

"But seriously, why did we have to do this in the dark?" Natsu asked, and I looked at him.

"It's not dark out yet." I said in an annoyed tone, and I looked around at the sky and saw that the sun has already set and the moon had replaced it. "Oh."

"Oh?" Natsu asked sounding a bit worried. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I guess I'm just a bit distracted is all." I said shaking my head.

"So how do you expect to get to the attic?" He asked me.

"By flying." I said, and looked at him and he looked shocked that I was willing to fly up there.

"B-but how are you going to get into the attic?" He asked still in a bit of shock.

"There's a door on the roof to get into the attic." I said. "Then we can get in, find the dress, and get out. Easy peasy." I said shrugging.

"You really want that dress don't you?" He asked as he walked over and picked me up.

"I would rather it be in my hands instead of my father's." I answered and Natsu spread his wings out and hurled himself off the ground and into the air. And it was a quick second later that we were on the roof, and Natsu set me on my feet. "I wasn't ready!" I yelled as I hit him.

"You didn't say if you weren't." He said shrugging.

"Jerk." I said. He laughed a little at me.

"So where's the door?" He asked.

"It's this way." I said and started walking towards the other side of the house.

"So what does the dress look like exactly?" Natsu asked as we carefully made our way across the slanted roof.

"You'll know it when you see it." I answered. "And be careful sometimes the shingles can come loo-!" I started to say but stopped as a shingle slid out of place under my foot and I started making my way towards the edge of the roof.

"Lucy!" Natsu yelled out as he tried to stop me, but wasn't able to get a hold of me, and I slid off the edge but was able to grab ahold of the gutter, catching my fall.

"Natsu?" I called out as I looked down.

"Hold on, I'm coming!" He yelled back and I heard him shuffling towards me. "Don't worry, I got ya." He said as he grabbed a hold of my wrist and pulled me up, back on the roof. Once I was back on the roof we were both on our backs, and I was panting out of fear.

"That could have gone better." I said.

"Yeah." Natsu said. "And what was that you were talking about, being careful?" I swung my hand to the side and smacked him in the face.
