The challenge (Natsu x Lucy) [COMPLETED]

12

3rd person's P.O.V

    During lunch break, Lucy sat alone on the rooftop eating a cold grilled-cheese sandwich and stared at the partly cloudy, blue sky. She was deep in thought, wondering if she should give Natsu a second chance. 

Pro's 

*He's nice, most of the time
*He's hot...in both ways
*He's funny
*Most of the time he's understanding and sweet

Con's

*Cheated on her
*Has a bit of an attitude
*Playboy
*Cocky sometimes
*A bit bipolar?

    There were many reasons to give him a chance and many reasons not to give him a chance.

"Hey Lucy! There you are!" Levy called.

"Oh, hi!" Lucy smiled, looking back at her friends.

"Ok, let's cut straight to the crap alright?" Levy was suddenly serious.

"Yes, Juvia agrees." Juvia nodded.

"What is it?" Lucy asked, a little worried.

"We...," Levy reached behind her back and pulled out 3 tickets. "Are going to the hot springs!"

"Woah! Where'd you get tickets to go there?" Lucy gawked.

"Gajeel." Levy said smugly.

"He loves you." Lucy teased.

"Whatever," Levy said blushing. "So, you in?" Levy grinned.

"Wait, there's only three, what about him?" Lucy asked.

"He's got his and he's inviting two of his friends." Levy smirked.

"Juvia thinks maybe Gajeel will invite Gray-sama." Juvia added shyly.

"He got 6 tickets?!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Yeah, don't act so surprised, his friend went there for a party and they gave out tickets for free...well, they were drunk so I guess they didn't know what they were doing." Levy shrugged.

"Or what a golden opportunity it was." Lucy added.

"Juvia is a little nervous though, what if Juvia also gets drunk on sake and gives Gray-sama strange tickets?" Juvia shuddered.

"Well, just make sure you don't bring any weird tickets with you except this one." Levy said, holding up one of the tickets.

"Well, I'm in!" Lucy grinned, taking a ticket.

"Alright, this weekend, okay? It'll be really fun." Levy smiled.

"Okay, I'll meet you guys at the train station, right?" Lucy asked.

"Umm, I think Gajeel said that one of his friends had a limo so if they came then we would pick each other up and we'd take the limo to the springs." Levy put a finger on her chin.

"Luxurious!" Lucy commented.

"I'm so excited!" Levy squealed.

"Juvia agrees!" Juvia nodded.

-Your very first actual time skip brought to you by Ultear Milk-sandwich and Natsu's humor-

Lucy's P.O.V

    It was a 3 day trip because Monday was a holiday. I packed casual clothes and my two yukatas. One was my moms and one was mine. My yukata was pretty but it wasn't as pretty as my mom's. Hers was white with gold designs and outlines. It also came with a gold hairpin with a white flower on the end. The flower was fake obviously but it was still beautiful.

    My doorbell rang just as I finished packing and Juvia was at the door, since she was the only one who knew my room number.

"Juvia thinks Lucy-chan will be slightly angry at Gajeel's choice of friends..." Juvia said blushing slightly.

"Well...I'll deal with it, but, by the look on your face, he chose Gray, didn't he?" I smirked.

    Juvia just nodded as they were already outside now. I knew that there were pets allowed at the hot spring just not in the actual water. So my little white dog; Plue, trotted along beside me.

"Juvia thinks Lucy's doggy is cute." Juvia smiled, petting Plue's head.

"Alright, we just need to get one more person, Lucy, he's going to have to sit next to you, okay?" Gajeel looked to me.

"Yeah, sure." I nodded.

"Alright, we're here." He said a few minutes later.

    The limo's windows weren't see through from the inside or outside so I couldn't see where we were.

"So, Gray, is this your limo?" I asked.

"No, weird enough, it's the guy we're picking up right now's limo." Gray shrugged.

"So then we should've had him in here first then, right?" Levy confirmed.

"Apparently he was still packing so he just told Gajeel to pick him up after he'd picked up everyone." Gray chuckled.

"Oh." Levy, Juvia and I said in unison.

    My eyes trailed over to the driver, he had extremely red, wavy hair that stuck up like fire. Arching an eyebrow, I looked over to the door of the limo. Faint talking was hearable through the door. The suspense was killing me.

    Gajeel finally opened the door and climbed in, sitting beside Levy again. The other guy stood in the door way for a second, covered with shadows and then finally stepped in. It was Natsu.

"Hey Lucy!" He grinned at me and sat down next to me.

"Hi." I smiled weakly back at him.

"So you're the mystery guy Gajeel invited?" Gray arched an eyebrow at the salmon-head.

"Mystery?" Natsu frowned, sharing the same expression as Gray.

"Haha, just a fun little suspense builder." Gajeel laughed.

"Oh...," Natsu turned to me. "So, are you excited?"

"Yeah, it's not every day you get a free invite to hot springs." I shrugged.

"True," Natsu nodded. "Although, I already have my own hot springs in my house."

"Really?" Levy gasped.

"Yeah." Natsu nodded.

"Now, it's just going to take a while, okay guys?" Gajeel asked and the car started.

    As soon as the limo started moving, Gajeel's face turned a pale shade of green and he collapsed into Levy's lap. Natsu did the same but his head fell into mine.

"They both have motion sickness...forgot to tell you that I'm guessing?" Gray asked.

"Yeah." Levy smiled, blushing.

    I shrugged and played with Natsu's hair. I remembered that morning when I had reached across the table and started petting him. I looked over at Levy and she was doing the same to Gajeel.

    Eventually I fell asleep and had I dream I didn't remember when Gajeel woke me up.

"Guys, we're here!" Gray called.
