I don't like the childhood friend of Lucy.

Apart from being cliché and very convenient that he would just happen to turn up during the crisis, it would also contradict what we know of Lucy.

While it wasn't outright stated, it was strongly implied that due to her status of rich heiress she didn't have any friends as a child, except for the servants of the mansion, which were naturally far too much older than her to be a love-interest.

Now if it was a former servant who she had a crush on right before she ran away, maybe... but it'd still suck. I think it'd be much better if the one she get's attached to (temporarily until she realizes that she loves Natsu) was a mage from another guild who saved her life in an attack by the enemy.
