Changing a Heart

Sting Heartfillia

"It's not a big deal Lucy" The boy tried to calm me down but excitement filled my body. I loved parties and planning them was one of the best things. Most importantly though planning a party for my friend was rewarding because it's showing how much you care.

"It's the biggest deal, wait until I get the others on board for this" I cheered.

"Lucy" The boy's voice spoke seriously but I refused to give in to his sternness. I knew that the others would be delighted especially one loving bluenette.

"Gray please let me do this for you, you've been so kind to me ever since I moved. Think of this as me returning the favor" I tried to reason with the raven haired boy. 

"Alright but nothing to big" He finally gave in. I was too ecstatic for this and ideas for his party ran through my head all the way too school.

Once Gray and I found our way to the group I was greeted with a jealous look from Juvia and a confused look from Natsu. 

"Guys Gray agreed to let me plan him a party" I announced and everyone imminently cheered. I knew I wouldn't be the only one on board with this idea.

"Are you going to be leading this planning" Erza questioned me clearly wanting to plan it. However I had different plans.

"I was thinking we could all create this party together. Erza our manager you could say" I spoke giving Erza the title she wanted. I knew that if there was one thing the red head craved it was leadership. Giving her the title of manager made her feel superior which made her feel comfortable.

"Juvia would you go take Gray to class while we discuss his party" I smiled at the girl knowing she would jump at the chance for some alone time with Gray. Gray rolled his eyes at how serious I was about his party but I knew deep down he was just as thrilled as the rest of us.

"Levy, Gajeel, decorations and food" I allocated the couple a category to cover. Levy nodded and Gajeel grinned whispering something into the bluenette's ear. She giggled with a blush present on her face before they both rushed of to do God knows what.

"Natsu can I trust you to take care of invites" I asked the boy. He seemed unsure if he was up for it which automatically sent worry down my spine. Not only do we need invitations done but we needed a job for the pinkette.

"No way, I'll do that" Erza claimed the task for herself rendering the pinkette useless. At first I wasn't sure what do with him but then an idea popped up that was mutually beneficial.

"Well in that case you can help me find a venue" I smiled at the pinkette glad that I would get to spend time with him.

After school Natsu and I headed to my house. I was nervous considering I had no idea how clean my house was. Opening the door I watched the pinkette's jaw drop, I was immediately worried. If he thought this house was big what would he think of my original house.

"Lucy darling your home" I heard my aunty chime. I led Natsu into the kitchen where we were greeted by my aunties cheery face.

"And you brought company, gosh now I have to cook up some snacks" She fussed.

"Aunty that won't be necessary" I reassured her. If there was one thing I knew it was that my aunty loved to spoil anyone who stepped foot in her house.

"Where are my manners, I'm Tiffany, Lucy's aunt" My aunt hurried over to Natsu and held her hand out. Gosh she was so embarrassing. 

"I'm Natsu, its nice to meet you" The pinkette gladly shook her hand with a smile. During all of this conversing I prayed for Sting to be anywhere but home. Sting was my cousin and he loved to either embarrass me or harass my friends. I knew he was just protective of me but he needed to chill a bit.

"Lucy guess what just came out, a new episode of ..." I heard my brother yell out before he rushed down the stairs. He cut himself off at the sight of Natsu.

"Who's this guy" He motioned towards Natsu. I prayed and prayed for Sting to disappear or for Natsu to vanish. Or even better for me to drop dead.

"I'm Natsu, I'm just here to help her plan our friends birthday" Natsu gulped, he clearly didn't want his intentions to be misread. I was surprised at how intimidating he looked, I averted my gaze to see Sting with a nasty growl on his face.

"Is that so?" Sting approached us and placed his arm over my shoulder. I rolled my eyes, he was trying to act cool but in reality he was the biggest loser of all and I could prove it.

"So what new episodes are out?" I changed the subject removing the blonde's arm from my shoulder.

"Nothing" He brushed off my question and I knew why. He was embarrassed of the TV show.

"Gossip Girl" I grinned at the boy and he imminently regretting stepping foot downstairs. My gaze turned to Natsu who held in a laugh.

"Whats so funny pinky" Sting tried to reclaim his masculinity but it was gone along with his dignity as soon as he secret was exposed. I was very lucky to outsmart him this one time.

"Nothing" Natsu coughed removing any trace of humor on his face. My aunty was giggling along with me at the two. 

"Well I'll take my leave" Sting breathed embarrassment still clear on his face. I was so grateful that I got rid of him. Every time I used to stay over here and brought people Sting would scare them off. However I turned the tables on him and scared him away. Smiling at my victory I grabbed Natsu's arm and dragged him away to my room ready to go venue searching.
