MitsukoTsubaki: I hope you like this fanfiction, minna! I have just rewritten it so please give it a go and feel free to criticise me in a review on the way out! ^ ^
LUCY'S POV:
I saw a magic shop at the other end of the street. I wonder if they have any new celestial keys lately. I walked into the shop and heard the familiar ring of the bell above my head. I asked the shop owner if there were any new keys recently. He just started babbling something about a machine that changes the colour of your clothes. I rolled my eyes and I saw the new key, it was a dog mostly kept as pets. I was so excited, because this dog is a limited edition and it is so cute!
"How much is this one?" I asked, excitedly.
"That one isn't strong at all, It is 20,000 jewels if you still want it.' The shopkeeper said, frowning and shaking his head. I froze. 20,000 jewels. SO EXPENSIVE! I had to quickly think of something.
"Awww, i'm sure you could cut off some of the price just for me' I sat on the counter and tried to get him to co-operate.
~A few haggles later~
I stormed out of the shop. So my beauty is only worth 1000 jewels. Huh?! How dare he?! He only cut 1000 jewels off of the price. URGH! While I was busy sulking, I saw some girls screaming about a famous fire wizard in town, called Salamander.
…
…
…
...
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SALAMANDER IS IN THIS TOWN!?
I followed them until I saw a crowd of fangirls surrounding something or someone. I squeezed through the fangirls and my heart started thumping. Salamnder. Is. Right. There. He looked my way and I practically fainted. Is it because he is a famous wizard, that my heart is beating this fast? Can this be love?
I swooned as he stared at me but then I noticed a boy with pink hair being beaten to the pulp by a few of the girls. Suddenly, I noticed the love ring on Salamander's finger, he was bewitching the girls to fall in love with him. That's just disgusting. EW.
I watched the pink haired boy and I felt a wave of confusion come over me. His hair. It was salmon pink. He couldn't be...Could he? The boy with pink hair that I knew passed away years ago...
FLASHBACK:
Lucy went to play with Natsu everyday, even when her father forbade it. She first met Natsu in a pond inside the forest. Lucy had been coming back every day to watch this little boy grab for the salmon in the pond. On the third day, Natsu suddenly stopped fishing and turned around.
"Are you just gonna hide there and watch me have all the fun?" Natsu asked. Lucy was startled but shook her head. She went over and sat next to him.
"My name is Lucy Heartfilia" Lucy announced "what's your name?"
"Igneel told me that I shouldn't tell anyone my name" Natsu said, triumphantly.
"Okay, then I shall call you...salmon boy!" Lucy joked.
"I AM NOT SALMON BOY!" Natsu shouted.
"Yes you are, you are always trying to catch salmon and your hair is salmon pink" Lucy said, giggling. The two of them met each other at the same pond everyday. They soon became the best of friends. Natsu never told lucy his real name as she was only ever calling him 'salmon boy'. However, one day, Lucy went to the pond but Natsu was nowhere to be seen. She went to the village and asked several people, most of them shook their heads. But when she asked an old couple, they exchanged glances.
"I'm afraid nobody has seen the boy since yesterday, most say that he passed away because his warm, sweet aura has disappeared from this town" The old lady whispered with soulful eyes.
Lucy's eyes widened and she started shaking. She dropped to her knees.
"No...No...He didn't pass away" Lucy thought. She ran back to her home and cried herself to sleep in her pillow. Ever since that day, she went back to the pond everyday until she turned 16 in hope that he would somehow return...
END OF FLASHBACK
He died years ago...It's not him. Definitely not him. I am just jumping to conclusions because they both have pink hair. Either way, he had just broken the spell on me. I need to thank him properly. I went up to the pink haired boy.
"Hi, I'm Lucy Heartfilia, you just saved me a lot of trouble so I would like to thank you properly" I smiled and held out a hand. He just stared at me along with his blue cat.
"Hmmmm, I have heard Lucy Heartfilia somewhere before" He said. I tensed up. It was silent. The silence was broken by his stomach rumbling. I just laughed.
"Hey, how about I buy you lunch as a thanks?' I suggested.
NORMAL POV FROM HERE:
Lucy and Natsu walked to a nearby cafe. Natsu started rapidly ordering food along with his blue cat. She rolled her eyes. Whenever she tried to ask him a question he would SPRAY the answer with food flying out. She took a chance when he paused for a few seconds between each meal. 'What is your name?' Lucy asked. 'Oh, i am Natsu' He replied. This was another reason why he couldn't be salmon boy, because he wouldn't have revealed his identity that easily.
"Hmmmm, then I shall call you...PINKIE' Lucy said.
"I AM NOT PINKIE!" Natsu shouted, food flying in all directions. Lucy just giggled, but deep down she felt a pain because she remembered, that it was exactly what her childhood friend had said before. She felt as if someone had stuck a hundred daggers through her, but brushed it away because she didn't want to ruin the mood. When they exited the cafe. Natsu got down on his hands and knees and thanked her. Lucy was so embarrassed. She shouted at Natsu that it was fine and to hurry up and get outside. Could he really be her childhood friend?
