THIRD PERSON'S POV

ONE WEEK later, Lucy is getting used to the fact that her future daughter is living with her. "Mama, where should I place this?" Nashi asks Lucy innocently.

Lucy turns half of her body to check what her daughter doing - she smile warmly - Nashi is now helping her to arranged the table of their dinner. "You can put that on the center, baby." she reply. Nashi obligue it.

"Mama?"

"Hmmm"

"Can Papa join us for our dinner for tonight?" Nashi ask her. Lucy stops on her tract for seconds before she let out a deep sigh and places the food that she cooks in the center. Nashi watches her move carefully. "Mama?"

Lucy sat down on the chair and smile towards her daughter "Sure... but I think he can't be able to join us tonight."

"But why?"

"Because we need to inform him ahead of time." Lucy explains "But, if you want tomorrow morning. We will invite Natsu-- I mean your father to join us here together with your Uncle Happy. Is that okay with you?"

Nashi smile widely before nodding to her mother.

ON THE FOLLOWING day, Nashi and Lucy went to the guild - they greet all the members before going to Mira and ordered them their usual drink. "Umm.. Mira?" Lucy starts.

"Yes?"

"Did you see Natsu and Happy?" she asks.

Mira shook her head. It's true that she didn't see the two - Mira frowned, when were the last time she seen them? Couple of days ago

"May I know why you're looking to them?"

Lucy was about to say the reasons when Nashi spoke "I want to have a family dinner later with them, Aunt."

"Ooh" Mira is looking with the young mage - amuse is really visible on her eyes "I'm sorry if I can't give you a detail of Natsu's whereabouts. The last time I saw him was couple days ago - and I think he had a little problem."

"A problem? What kind of problem is that?"

Mira lips twist into an impish smile - and on the corner of her eyes she can see that Lucy was trying to distract herself on her drink instead of listening to them. "Would you help your father, Nashi?"

"Of course Auntie, I'll help him."

Mira was about to say something when Lucy stood making them stop on their conversation. "Is there any problem, Mama?" Nashi asks her innocently.

Lucy shook her head and smile towards her daughter "I'll just go in the request board. You stay here with your Aunt Mira, okay."

"Yes Mama!"

Lucy makes her way to the request board to look for a suitable job - or maybe she just using it so that she can't be able to hear their conversation. Lucy frowned. She still mad at him - that jerk. 'Urgh! No Lucy forgets it.' Lucy thought but her mind is against of it because she remembered again what Natsu did to her couple of days ago.

IN THE morning, Lucy woke up with a severe headache. The heat in that room was tremendous high. 'Natsu' Lucy thought immediately. Strangely she felt that most of the skin that had to be covered by her clothes was touching the blanket. 'Don't tell me-... ' Lucy thought as her eyes opened wide. She looked under the covers and sat up, all that she hoped that it wouldn't happen had just happened. Most of her clothes were burned.

"Natsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" Lucy screamed loudly. She was angry and embarrassed at the same time. That scream suddenly woke up the poor boy that was sleeping like a baby until a second ago. Lucy jumped out of bed before Natsu's eyes fell on her and fled to the bathroom.

"Hah!? Lucy? What's wrong?" Natsu said half asleep, but he was able to see Lucy who ran into the bathroom with few pieces of her clothes hanging from the body.

"What the hell do you mean, by what's wrong?!" She shouted from the bathroom. Natsu stood up from the bed and approached the bathroom door.

He put his hand on the door and asked "What happened to your clothes Lucy?"

"E-eeeh!? Y-you even have the courage to ask me what happened to my clothes?! ...Y-y-you... Asshole!" She was pretty angry but also surprised that he was able to see her run into the bathroom at the speed of light.

"Asshole-!? What have I done to be insulted?" Natsu said a little irritated by the insult he just received.

"You've burned my clothes with your freaking fire while you were sleeping!" Lucy said with an angrier voice.

"T-that's n-not true!" Natsu stuttered while slightly blushing. He felt embarrassed by the fact that, what Lucy said had really happened.

"Liar, don't lie! I own the evidence on me!"

"B-but this doesn't mean that I did it!"

"Oh yeah? Then who did it? Happy?"

"M-maybe..."

"And since when Happy can use F-I-R-E?" Lucy said sarcastically, as she strongly pronounced the last word.

"A-anyways, It wasn't me!" Natsu

"Oh! You still continue lying?" Lucy asked disbelief is really visible on her voice.

"Because I'm telling the truth!"

"If you are not, then WHO ??" Lucy said

"Argh!" Unfortunately, she couldn't win that war in that moment. It was stronger than her, and in that moment her brain was showing signs of madness. She couldn't take it anymore; she was stressed out mentally and physically.

"....way"

"Huh?" Natsu asked to repeat. Even though he had a very good hearing, he wasn't able to figure out the first few words, so he had to approach and put his ear on the door so that he could be sure to hear everything.

"Go awayyyyyy!" Lucy shouted with all her might making the poor boy jolt and fall on the ground.

What the hell! Natsu wondered as he looked at Lucy's bathroom door. "O-oi-!"

"Go away! Go away! I don't want to see you! Go away! Noooow!" Lucy continued to scream, like a little child and Natsu was able to hear her deep breaths, on the other side of the door. He was in big problems.

'This time some simple apologies won't be enough...' Natsu thought as he rose to his feet. "Ok. I'm leaving." He simply said, without showing any emotions, even if he felt irritated. "Happy, let's go." He said as he woke up the cat, and walked towards the window. "I'll... See you in the guild." He said before jumping out the window, followed by the flying cat. Lucy waited a couple of minutes to make sure that Natsu had really left the house. She wasn't really sure because she hadn't heard the door closing, only some footsteps and then the complete silence. She took courage and went out of the bathroom and surprisingly she didn't find any trace of the boy in her house. Then she saw the window was open. He left from the window, that's why she hadn't heard the door.

"At least use the door, stupid ..." Lucy whispered as she looked at the open window, with the curtains fluttering due to the strong wind. The room was rapidly cooling down, so she decided to find immediately some clothes and change into them, then eat and get out of there, since falling asleep again would have been impossible.

LUCY immediately brush it off as she frowned while looking on the request board. 'Stop thinking about that guy, Lucy. He's not worth it!' Lucy thought. But at the back of her mind - she's a little worried that Natsu is nowhere to found.

"Lucy?" someone call her attention on her back - and when she turn her body to check who it was - she immediately smile towards her and greet her like she always do. "Would you mind if we talk about something." she murmurs.

Lucy gave a puzzle look "About?"

"About you and Nashi. And why Natsu is nowhere to be found?" she said.

"What do you mean about that, Lisanna?" she frowned. Lisanna invited her to go outside so they can talk privitely and right there and then - anger, rejection and pain is the only emotion that Lucy felt when Lisanna explain why Natsu is nowhere to be found.
