I started to stir to the sounds of clattering and clanging erupting the quiet silence of dawn. My eyes fluttered open and a frown spread across my face in frustration. Who would make so much noise in the morning?

I lifted myself off Natsu's chest and looked down with a smile at the sight of the sleeping teenager.

Another crashing noise came from the far side of the dorm, stealing my attention from Natsu. I climbed out from under the blanket and tiptoed cautiously towards the source of the loud sounds. The kitchen.

A shiver ran down my spine at the thought of what could be there... A burglar? A kidnapper? I looked around for a weapon, in the end grabbing a plastic coat hanger in panic. Yes Lucy - Because that will definitely defend you. Baka.

I slipped through the narrow doorway of the kitchen, poking my head around the corner. The sight ahead of me had my eyes and mouth wide open. After a few long seconds I blinked, then gulped.

Across the floor, food was sprawled, everywhere. The silver, metal bin was tipped; rotten fruit and yesterdays pizza was spread all over. I looked around in desperation, trying to find the wild beast that had destroyed Erza's kitchen. I crept a little further into the room, circling around the island in the centre. A few frying pans and pieces of cutlery also littered the floor and worktops. I tiptoed further, dodging food on the floor. A rummaging sound, caught my attention and I snapped my neck behind me. My eyes rapidly attacked the scene, eventually landing on a cupboard, slightly ajar. I reached out and grasped the handle, slowly pulling it open.

My eyes widened and I dropped my beloved coat hanger in panic. There sat a little white creature, facing away from me, eating something in the depths of the cupboard. It's small body froze at the noise from the coat hanger making impact with the floor. It turned it's head toward me, eyes wide. My face fell into a smile at the adorable ball in front of me. It's white face was covered in red and orange blotches from food. It had a pointy orange noise and a small round body.

"Hello there" I said softly to the dog. "What are you doing here little buddy?"

"Pum Pum" It replied, waddling to the edge of the cupboard. I scooped it up in my arms and looked at it carefully.

"What's your name mister?" I asked it.

"Pum Pum Pum" It replied once again.

"I'm gonna call you Plue!" I beamed, happy with the name I came up with. "Lets get you washed up shall we."

I exited the kitchen and looked to the sofa to see everyone still asleep. The sun was still rising outside, giving the apartment a pretty, orange glow. I crept over to Natsu and crouched down beside him, my face level with his. I poked his cheek a few times. His hand brushed his face in the area I poked as he started to wake up.

"Stahp" He mumbled, dragging the 'a' in his words.

I poked his cheek one more time before one eye shot open angrily. I giggled quietly and his frown faded to a smile.

"Good morning sleepy" I whispered, fluffing his hair in the progress.

"Hey beautiful" He said sleepily, making my heart flutter a little. His eyebrows squashed together as he pointed to my new friend.

"Why are you holding a dog?" He asked in confusion.

"Oh, this is Plue" I said, momentarily forgetting I was even holding him. "Come with me, I'll explain."

I grabbed his chequered muffler that was permanently wrapped around his neck and started pulling him off the sofa. He fell off with a thump, although not loud enough to wake the others. He trailed behind me, towards the bathroom. We entered and placed Plue in the empty bathtub. I explained to Natsu how I had no idea how Plue got here, but managed to raid Erza's kitchen and cover himself in food.

"Sounds like me" He said with a laugh. "So should we wash him or something?" He asked, looking at the confused Plue, who was staring at the floor.

"Yeh, and we better clean up the kitchen before Erza finds out and murders us all." I replied with a joking tone.

"PUM PUM!" Said Plue as he started pacing the bath tub in fear.

I patted his head, telling him I was only joking.

"You think he can actually understand you?" Said Natsu, looking amused.

I shrugged my shoulders and paired it with a giggle, before grabbing the hand shower and turning the water on. I let it heat up before soaking Plue through. Natsu grabbed the soap and squirted a little on Plue's head, then rubbed it in. After, I rinsed it off and together we wrapped Plue in a towel. With Plue now washed, we left him with the sleeping others, where he wrapped up in a blanket and fell asleep himself.

Around an hour had past. Me and Natsu had managed to quietly clean the kitchen so hopefully Erza will never notice, and were nearly finished making pancakes for everyone. We hadn't talked yet about yesterday the whole morning, but it wasn't awkward. We stacked the pancakes on plate in the centre of the island. Sprawled along the table were fruits and sauces.

"I think we should wake the others." I said, finding it quiet surprising that they all slept through the events of the morning. "But how?"

We pondered for a while, trying to think of a good way to wake them up. A smirk tugged at the side of Natsu's mouth, his eyes full of mischief. He ran to a drawer in the kitchen rummaging for an unknown item.

"Natsu what are you doing?" I asked, wanting to know the reason for his devious smirk.

"Here" He said, handing me a marker found in the drawer. Our faces now mirrored each other, the idea set in our heads. We crept over to our sleeping friends and smiled at the easy targets. I giggled at the positions everyone was lay in; Gajeel lay upside down, his head hanging off the sofa, Levy was draped across his chest, her body rising up and down from Gajeels breaths. Next came Gray, who had his head on Jellals lap. Jellal had his hand wrapped around Grays shoulder. A laugh threatened to burst from my mouth at the sight. Natsu crept over to Erza who lay next to Juvia and started drawing on her face. I bent down to Levy and slowly started to draw a mustache and monocle. When I was finished I stood back, proud of my masterpiece. My next victim was Gray. I quickly wrote the words 'I LOVE JUVIA" on his head. I stood up and glanced at Erza laughing at Natsu's design. He had drawn a moustache also along with the words 'I SUCK' across her forehead. I laughed quietly, covering my mouth with my hands, accidentally drawing a line on my own face in the process; giving me a 'half moustache'

"Here you missed a bit" Whispered Natsu. He leaned towards me and despite my silent cries, finished off the moustache. A grin spread across my face as I quickly swiped the pen down his cheek, and then once again across his nose. He retaliated, drawing a few lines in my face after. All of a sudden a pen war broke out and we were rolling around the floor drawing in each other. I managed to straddle Natsu, pinning back his arms. I put the pen in my mouth and tried to scribble all over his face, as he swung his head side to side trying to dodge.

"Ahem" said a voice behind us. We both froze and the pen dropped from my mouth. I released Natsu's hand from my grip and sat back, putting my weight down on his waist. We both turned our heads to see a very amused looking Erza. I blushed, suddenly realising the intimate position me and Natsu were in, before scrambling off him and standing ahead of Erza. Natsu got up after and stood beside me. Both our faces red.

"Morning Erza" I said, trying to break the awkwardness. "We uhm, we made pancakes for everyone"

I gestured towards the kitchen. She just laughed before shaking her head and turning around to wake the others. Me and Natsu exchanged a quick glance before helping Erza wake everyone up.

-

"NATSU AND LUCY WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" Raged Erza as she bolted out of her bathroom and ran towards us, ready to kill. "WHAT HAVE YOU WRITTEN ON MY FACE!? I THOUGH IT WAS JUST LEVY AND GRAY SO I PLAYED ALONG!" Me and Natsu stifled our laughs as Gray and Levy panicked, them also playing along but not knowing they had pen on too. We ran around the dorm away from and angry Erza, Gray and Levy. Juvia sat at the table with hearts as eyes, mumbling something about how 'she knew Gray loved her'.

--------

"Wow, that food was great. Thanks guys!"Chirped Levy.

Eventually everyone cooled down and we managed to eat the breakfast me and Natsu prepared before it got cold.

"Yes, thankyou very much, it was delightful" Smiled Erza. Natsu, Gray and Gajeel sat, patting their bloated stomachs, whilst me and Juvia cleared the table. Plue sat on the floor eating some leftover fruit.

"So what should we do today?" questioned Gray as he sat back on his chair. Me and Juvia sat back at the table with tea and coffee for everyone. "We have a whole day before we have to go back to school"

"Why don't we go to that water park in Hargeon? It's not too far from here, just outside Magnolia. And we can get Mira to come too." Suggested Natsu excitedly. We all agreed on the brilliant idea, and still had plenty of time to get ready seen as it was only around 8 in the morning.

"Let go back to our own rooms, pack and meet at Lucy and Natsu's dorm in and hour?" Said Erza. All of us got up and started grabbing our stuff, before making our way home.

-

Me, Plue and Natsu got in the elevator and pressed the button for our floor. We rode the elevator in a comfortable silence. I fished for my key in my bag and then opened the door of our dorm.

"What are you gonna pack?" I called to Natsu from my bedroom after filling a bag with a flowery towel and some sun cream. We decided to leave Plue here as we went to the waterpark, seen as all he seemed to do anyway was sleep.

"Probably just a towel and some jewels. Don't really need anything else" His voice grew louder as he made his way to my room. I turned around to see him leaning against my door frame, only wearing a pair of shorts. My eyes scanned his perfect, sculpted abs. I couldn't help myself.

"Like what you see?" He said, biting his lip and winking.

My Ovaries?

GONE.

How does one look so hot. He was like an angel. I swear there was literally a glowing light around him right now. I blinked before shaking my head. A light blush spread across my cheeks.

"Uhm-I..." I turned myself around quickly so I was no longer facing him. Dammit that was embarrasing. I don't know what to say because I was totally checking him out.

Suddenly I felt warmth snake around my waist. Natsu wrapped his arms around me and placed his chin on my shoulder.

"You're cute when your flustered" He whispered with a chuckle. His warm cheek was pressed againts mine. There was a pause before he started again. "Luce..." He stayed put on my shoulder as we both stood still in my room. "...about yesterday... I-I'm sorry if I came across a little... forward..." He spoke quietly.

He lifted himself off my shoulder and we both turned to face eachother.

"No Natsu you didn't, It was really nice what you said. I mean... I'm happy to be that person that you let through." He looked down at his feet, seeming sad.

Something came over me. A wanting. A wanting for him. I gently held his chin and lifted up his head. His eyes connected with mine before I moved my hand to the back of his head and pulled it towards mine, planting a kiss in his lips. His hands wrapped around my waist, pulling us closer and the kiss became more passionate. He nipped at my bottom lip, asking for access which I granted. Our tongues danced together for a while as we moved to the side and fell into my bed. I lay on my back, Natsu's arms on either side of my head. He reconnected our lips before leaving a trail of kisses across my jaw and down my neck.

"Guys It's just us!"

Natsu's head shot up in the air and looked down at me in panic. We quickly scrambled off eachother and patted down our clothes and made our way to the doorway. Mira and Levy stood in the hallway waiting.

"Oh hey guys! It's been an hour already?" Natsu greeted.

"I'm surprised the others aren't here actually, It's nearly been an hour and a half." Said Levy checking her watch.

"Yeh, We ran a little late sorry. Oh and your door was unlocked." Laughed Mira. I greeted Mira and Levy with a hug before taking them to the kitchen to get a drink. Natsu and I made eye contact quiet a lot, followed by a smile or wink. I have no idea what is going on with us.

The door knocked, stopping me in my thoughs. I got up from the table and opened the door to see Erza, Gajeel, Gray, Jellal and Juvia.

"Sorry we're late guys! Apologized Juvia, repeatedly bowing to me.

"Yeh, Metal Head over here wouldn't get hiss ass off the goddamn toi-" Gray was interrupted by an angry teenager beside him.

"Shut up you idiot!" Gajeel shouted after punching Gray in the stomach.

"Haha, don't worry about it. Natsu and I didn't even realise the time either" I laughed, sneaking a look at Natsu in the kitchen who was smirking.

"On that note... Lets go!" Shouted Erza causing us all to cheer and squeeze out of the doorway.
