The Missing Princess

Chapter 7

The next day Lucy came to the guild wearing her maiden dress. "Morning" Lucy greeted. "Morning Lucy" everyone in the guild greeted.

Lucy then smiles and walks to the counter where Mira gives her, her favorite strawberry milkshake. Lucy looks at her curiously. "I knew that you're gonna order for one so I had one made already" Mira explained.

Lucy nods and starts drinking her milkshake. Then Happy flew in the guild with a worried face. "Lushe! Lushe!!" Happy calls. Everyone looked at him curiously.

"What wrong Happy?" Lucy asked. "Natsu...he...he's depressed for..some reason..and I don't know why...please help him, he keeps on saying you're name so I think he needs you" Happy panted. Lucy's eyes widen and she stood up quickly.

"Happy you stay here, I get him" Lucy ordered. The she ran out of the guild quickly making chairs fall down and dust fly up. Once the dust settles down everyone had wide eyes and blinked twice.

"Was Lucy always able to run like that?" Carla asked. "No idea" everyone answered. Then Mira squealed. "My OTP is about to happen!!" She squealed.

"Huh?" Lisanna said, confused. "You're gonna understand later" Mira said. Everyone looked at her with an eyebrow up. Mira just smiles and continued wiping glasses.

Lucy was running towards Natsu's house. She's the only one who knows where Natsu and Happy lives since she always cleans their house once a month.

Lucy arrived at the house and opened the door. "Natsu?" Lucy called. No one answered. Lucy walked in and started looking around. "Natsu are you in here?" Lucy asked. Then she came to the conclusion that Natsu isn't in the house.

She went out of the house and walked into the forest near it. She heard some movements and climbed up a tree to hide.

She looked down and saw Natsu walkind sadly. He was slouching, his right hand on top of his head and had a sad expression. Lucy felt sad and curious on how he was acting.

Lucy then jumped out of the tree and landed behind him, making him turn around. "Geez Luce, you scared the hell out of me" Natsu said. "Sorry" Lucy apologized.

"So what are you doing here?" Natsu asked. "I wanted to see you, happy said that you were depressed and so I came here after all I am your best friend" Lucy explained. Natsu then sighed, face the other way and continued walking.

"Hey Natsu where are you going" Lucy called. Natsu stopped walking. "Somewhere away from you" Natsu said, sadly like his heart was in pain. Lucy's eyes widen and felt her heart break.

"Why?...why are you trying to get away from me" Lucy asked. "I'm trying to get over you" Natsu said. "Trying to get over me?" Lucy thought. "What?" Lucy asked.

Natsu looked at the other direction, not looking at Lucy. "Mira always did say that I should confess to you before anyone gets you" Natsu started. "Co...confess to me?" Lucy said in shock.

"I thought I could yesterday once you arrived" Natsu said looking at the sky. "But then that Loke guy appeared and I felt my heart broken, it seems like he was special to you and I felt like I was replaced" Natsu said, sadly. "Natsu.." Lucy whispered.

"Then all of a sudden you said that you love him and my whole world fell down" Natsu said. Then he looks at Lucy who was in shock. "Then I knew I'll never get a chance with you, you were already in love with someone and I couldn't do anything about it so that's why I need to get away from you, since I need some space and time to get over you" Natsu said. Lucy started to tear up and smiled.

"Idiot, you didn't hear the rest of it, I love Loke as a brother nothing else" Lucy empathized 'brother'. "What?" Natsu asked in shock. "Listen Natsu" Lucy started, holding his hand.

"I wouldn't love anyone because I've already fallen for someone" Lucy informed, looking at his eyes. "You did? Who is it Gray?" Natsu asked. "No Natsu" Lucy said. "Then wh-" Natsu was cut off by something soft against his lips.

He then realized that Lucy is kissing him. He looked at her in shock then closes his eyes and kissed back. He put his arms around his waist while Lucy put her arms around Natsu's neck to bring him closer.

Natsu tasted Lucy's lips and it tasted like sweet strawberries while Lucy tasted smoke and it was also a little spicy.

The two kissed passionately for two minutes. Then like every good moment it had to end since they ran out of air. They looked at each other's eyes lovingly. "Does that answer your question" Lucy asked. Natsu smiled.

"Yeah, I can't believe I got jealous for nothing" he said, annoyed. Lucy giggles. "Well you jumped into conclusion" Lucy pointed out. "Yeah, so what does this make us now?" Natsu asked. Lucy blushed red.

"Well does this mean that were a thing now?" Lucy asked. Natsu faces the other way with a blush and scratched his head, awkwardly. "Yeah I think so" Natsu said.

Then Lucy tugged his hand. "Well then shall we be going to the guild now?" Lucy asked, smiling. Natsu grins. "Yup let's go" Natsu said as he runs with Lucy to the guild.

"Oh My Mavis!!! Nalu happened!!" Mira squealed. "I can't believe I you finally have a girlfriend flame brain" Gray said. "Hey are you saying it's not possible for me to have one" Natsu said. Then the two started fighting

Natsu and Lucy arrived about a few minutes ago in the guild and explained on what happened. At first everyone was at shock, how can a perfect girl love a man who acts like a child? But then they thought about it again and it turns out it is possible after all they are best friends and they have things in common.

"I'm so happy for you Lu" Levy said as she hugged Lucy. "Thanks" Lucy said, smiling. Then Erza appeared behind Natsu with a dark aura, making him stop fighting with Gray.

"But Natsu, I'm warning you if ever Lucy gets hurt, I'll make sure you're buried 60 feet under the earth" Erza threatened. "Yes ma'am, I promise I will never do that" Natsu said, nervously.

Lucy giggles and stands up. "I have to do something, I'll see you guys later" Lucy said as she walks to the door. "Do you need help?" Natsu asked. "Nah, I can handle

this on my own, see you later" Lucy said as she exits the guild.

Once she was out of the guild she has a serious face on and heads towards the library.

"Now I need to find things about that Lord Raven"
