I submitted a fanfic to wattpad a month ago, and I am already 11 chapters in, and I decided to upload it over here. Let me know what you think, and I sincerely hope you enjoy it

Lucy pondered the events of the previous week, as raucous laughter filled the air around her, enveloping the guild hall with a charged atmosphere of excitement. She sighed inwardly with relief as the stress of previous events finally took its toll on her, delayed by the adrenaline of battle with several dragons, as she simultaneously struggled to comprehend the intricacies of time travel, in order to save the continent from impending destruction . Not to mention the fact that she spent a good 30 seconds naked in a moving barrel with Natsu. "That never happened! That never happened!" she thought, as she shook her head furiously, as if to shake away the memory, in addition to the bright pink blush that had just appeared on her cheeks.

"Lucy!"

A loud thud and a fist appeared on the table in front of her, snapping her out of her reverie. "Let's go on a job!" Natsu grinned, his crooked smile revealing canines that looked too sharp for an average set of teeth. Lucy inhaled deeply, about to protest that she was tired, but all that escaped her was a tired sigh.

"Alright, Natsu. What kind of a job is it?" No matter how much her aching body protested, she just couldn't seem to decline a request from Natsu, not while he still had those honest, marble grey eyes, filled with energy and excitement, imparting that very spirit into whomever looked into them. Natsu had a soul that mirrored the very heart of the Fairy Tail spirit, naive at times, yet always greeting the next challenge with nothing less than a genuine grin.

"Uh, Luce? Lucy? Hello?" He waved his hand in front of her, startling her from her wandering thoughts once more.

"Maybe you should kiss her, Natsu!" A certain winged blue feline cheekily suggested. "That's what always wakes princesses from their slumber!" This provoked heavy laughter from Natsu and a thump on the head from an irritated Lucy, leading to even more laughter on the Dragon Slayer's part. "Owwww! Natsu, stop laughing! You guys are mistreating me!"

"But you called Lucy a princess, Happy!" He managed between giggles

"That's what he was laughing about..." Lucy and Happy did a collective sweat drop. "Hey wait a second! What's so funny about me being a princess?" Lucy snapped, as Natsu's comment registered.

"Nothing, it's just...you're just... you're Lucy!" Natsu grinned, seemingly satisfied with his explanation. Lucy blushed, uncertain how to respond to this.

"Um...uh...thanks I guess?" she replied with evident uncertainty. Happy's blue cat head popped up just above her shoulder at that moment.

"She liiiiiiikes him", he purred teasingly. Lucy bit back the string of profanity she was just about to fire off at the upstart cat, before composing herself, which she barely managed, given the curious stare of said cat, waiting for Lucy to give herself away.

"Can we please just go over the job description?" Lucy asked, eager to change the subject.

"We already did, sheesh Luce you should learn to pay attention", Natsu casually remarked oblivious to Lucy's ticked off expression. "Anyway-" Natsu was about to continue, before he was interrupted by a chirpy, sing-song voice.

"Natsu! Lucy! The master has a special request for you!" A pretty white-haired girl called from behind the counter of the guild's bar.

"Gramps wants to see us huh?" said Natsu scratching his chin, "wonder what for?"

A/N: My first honest attempt at a fanfic, I hope you guys like it! Please let me know what you think, and be as honest as possible. Constructive criticism is always appreciated! If you guys want an update soon, please let me know, otherwise I'll probably put it as a low priority task if I find nobody is reading it or enjoys it.
