The next morning, Natsu and Lucy woke up coincidentally at the same time and they just looked at each other puzzled at how they ended up in the position that they were in. "Uhm….uhhh…-" Lucy was cut off by Natsu who had suddenly kissed her. "Lucy there's something I gotta tell you." Natsu said with a smile and a little blush. "Wait, can we get dressed first?" "Im sorry but, this can't wait anymore…. Lucy we've known each other for a while, and I know you will probably think Im crazy for saying this but…..I love you." Lucy looked at Natsu and blushed a little bit. "So what you said last night was true?" Natsu paused for a second, and then he suddenly had a feeling he knew what she was talking about, then he blushed himself. "I must have said that out loud when I had that dream again last night…."
"Hey Natsu, let's go ride this one next!" Lucy would always say that when the dream got started. "Alright, alright. Let's go!" Natsu ran with Lucy to the next ride. It was a ferris wheel that she wanted to ride. When Natsu walked by the man controlling the ride he asked the man if he could stop their box at the very top. The man didn't want to dissapoint, so he nodded his head and smiled. Natsu caught up with Lucy and when she wasn't looking, he shuffled inside of his pocket for something. The ferris wheel started moving and after about two revolutions, Natsu and Lucy's box came to a stop way at the top. Lucy looked out at the beautiful sight of Magnolia. She was always so mesmerized because Magnolia looked so beautiful at night. "Wow it looks so pretty! All the glowing lights make it look like beautiful magic!" Lucy continued looking out, while Natsu tried finding the right words to say to her. "Lucy?" Lucy turned toward Natsu and as always he suddenly kissed her. When they drew away Lucy's face lit up. "W-What was that for?" She said with a finger to her lips. "Lucy, we've known each other for a while, and I know you will probably think Im crazy for saying this but…. I love you." Natsu pulled out a box and Lucy began crying. "Lucy will you marry me?" Lucy's mouth opened to answer but…..
That's when Natsu's reaccurring dream would always end. And that's when he would almost go crazy because it's already happened at least five times already. And after everyday of being with Lucy, he would always want to say those words….except for the marriage part…..for now…and that's what he did. "Natsu….I love you too." Lucy said with a smile on her face. Natsu got up and hugged Lucy. "Hey Lucy…?" Natsu asked while he was still holding her. "Yeah, what is it?" Lucy said. "Will you go out with me everyday, no matter what?" Natsu finished. "Natsu, you're so goofy, but I love you so yeah….. I will." Natsu let go of Lucy and started jumping on the bed. Lucy just looked at her new boyfriend and just laughed. "Okay, okay! But, Natsu shouldn't we get our things together and go back home?" Natsu stopped and smiled. "Alright, how about you get all the things together here and I go get all the stuff at the front?" "Okay, but we should probably get dressed first." Lucy said. Natsu laughed a little bit. "Get dressed in what? We don't have extra clothes and the only things we brought were our original clothes and our swimsuits. What we're wearing isn't ours remember?" Lucy laughed too. "Oh yeah. I almost forgot we borrowed these from Avery. We should probably give them back." Lucy sighed. "I guess we'll both have to go down there and get our stuff dressed like this."
Lucy and Natsu walked out and tried to go a fast as they could so other people wouldn't see them dressed the way they were. They quickly grabbed their things and as they were leaving, Avery passed by them. "Oh, good morning." She looked them up and down and almost blushed at the sight of the almost naked mages. "It's nice to see that you made good use of the clothing that I lent you." "Hi Avery…" Natsu and Lucy said blushing. "We're going to return these back to you as soon as we change, so don't worry." Lucy said. "Don't worry about those old things. You both wear them better than me and my husband could. Just take good care of them for me okay?" Lucy and Natsu nodded and left for their room to get changed. While they were getting changed, Natsu was trying to figure out what to say to Gray about this whole thing. Hell, he was trying to figure out if he should tell Lucy about the whole, "promise" thing. He figured that it wasn't really all that important. It's not like him and Gray were doing this just to do it. They really had feelings for her. At least that's what he thought. And now that he thought about it, this really wasn't a promise type of thing. It was more like a bet to see who Lucy would like first. Natsu sighed. "I guess I'll just have to talk to him about it when I tell him that me and Lucy are going out."
Natsu and Lucy finished getting dressed and walked into the living room to check for everything. Since they didn't have some sort of wagon to put all the stuff in, they were just going to have to carry it like they did the day before. Lucy and Natsu walked down to the main building area and said their goodbyes to Avery and left the hotel. While they were walking, Lucy was deep in thought. "So we're seriously dating? I wonder if he's going to want to tell anybody yet. Happy will really wanna know….and Erza, Levy, Juvia and all the other girls….but, what about Gray?" Lucy was starting to question whether that was a good thing to do at this point…..but, then again she loved Natsu so she knew that he would make things all good if something were to happen. Then as if reading her mind Natsu asked, "So Lucy, do you wanna tell anybody yet, or do you wanna wait?" Lucy thought about it for another minute. "Let's go ahead and tell them. I like it when something surprising happens and everybody's all and Natsu laughed at the thought of everyone getting hyped up over their good news.
After walking to Natsu's house, they went off to Lucy's so they could return some stuff there too. Then they decided to walk to the guild. Of course some people should be there, because it wasn't a day off like yesterday. So really, everyone should be there. Natsu was suddnely deep in thought himself. "I want to tell her all my feelings for her but, I don't know if now would be the right time for everything to get all mushy now. I should just wait until we're alone or when we go on another date. I guess I could tease her a little bit now." Natsu looked down at Lucy. "Hey Lucy, I think you're really hot!" Natsu said with a smile. "W-Where did that come from?!" Lucy screamed with a blush. When she realized what he was doing she decided to get even. "Natsu, stop it…..you're gettin' me all fired up…." Lucy said with a sexy smirk on her face. Natsu gushed blood out of his nose and fell on the ground. Lucy burst out laughing. "Hey! No fair!" Nastu was blushing hard. "Hey, like I said, I don't like to lose!" Lucy gave a wink. Natsu couldn't help but blush even harder. He loved it when his girlfriend would give that cute smile of hers. He got back up and caught up with Lucy. "Hey, tell me somethin'." Natsu asked. "What?" Lucy wondered what he was up to. He stopped right in front of her. "Do you love me?" Natsu asked with his goofy smile on his face. This made Lucy blush. "Of course I love you. I said it this morning." Lucy laughed. "And do you know what? I'll never get tired of hearing you say those words because I love you with all of my burning heart." Lucy just laughed a little bit. "I would never have even thought that I would hear you say things like that. Im glad I can hear that type of stuff come from you though." Natsu chuckled. "That's good that Im learning all the things you like hearing coming from my mouth. At least I don't have to worry about you ignoring me, like that ice bucket does to Juvia. Speaking of her, I haven't seen her pourin' her heart out over that jerk for a while. Do you know why?" Lucy had just remembered that too. "Oh yeah, at Erza's thing she said that Lyon had asked her out." Natsu had remembered that too. "Ohhh yeahhhh. I remember that." Lucy looked at him questioningly. "How would you know that?" Natsu caught himself and thought of something quick. "Uhh… no I was talking about something that I was thinking out loud. Sorry it slipped." Natsu was sweating bullets at this point. Lucy looked at him. "Oh yeah? And what exactly were you thinking about?" Natsu almost choked. Now he really had to think of something. "Crap! If I tell her that Gray and me were spying on them during that party then she's gonna kill us. Then she'll tell all the other chics and then they'll kill us. Jeez, what should I say to make her forget about this?"
Natsu finally thought of something. He grabbed Lucy's hand and kissed her. "I was just thinking about the first time we kissed, and how much I liked you when I first saw you." Lucy blushed. "Y-You mean it?" Natsu grinned on the inside. "I mean this from the bottom of my heart." Lucy almost passed out. "A-Alright." They kept walking and Natsu smiled to himself. "I got her! I think I'll use that for times like these. She knows that I really do love her though. We just started dating too so I don't want to see her get mad at me already. I'll just have to talk to Gray about this thing too."
Natsu and Lucy finally reached the guild and when thy opened the doors, everyone was inside drinking, and laughing like always. Lucy saw all of the girls together and decided that she wanted to go tell them the good news. When Lucy left he decided that he would go find Gray and tell him about the news. Natsu found him by the bar by himself and went to go sit next to him. Gray looked up at Natsu. "So how was your date?" He asked. "It actually went really great. Not to mention I asked her out and she said yes!" Gray looked at Natsu. "Huh, why are you smiling?" Natsu asked. Then all of a sudden Gray laughed. "Beacause, you idiot, you finally had the balls to make her yours." Natsu just sat there while Gray laughed even harder. "Shouldn't you be angry or something? I thought you liked Lucy as much as I did. Isn't that why we made that promise?" Grey kept laughing. "I made that promise with you because you obviously had no motivation to claim Lucy as yours. So if it was a promise that kept you interested then I would gladly agree, which is exacly what I did." Natsu looked at Gray with wide eyes. "Wait, so you just set up the whole thing?" Grey stopped laughing for a second. "Yup! You should be thankful that I wanted to take the time to help you out." Natsu sat there and almost cried. He got up and hugged Gray. "H-Hey, let go man." Natsu let go of him and thanked Gray for his help. "Thanks, bro!" I guess I owe you one then." Natsu gave a wink and a thumbs up. Grey paused for a second and he slightly blushed. "Actually, yeah….there is one thing that I want you to help me with." Natsu smiled and laughed. He already knew what Gray needed help with. "Alright…Im no love expert, but for you, I'll see what I can do!"
