Me: Okay then, so like, cool. Today I'm going to write a Fairy Tail fan fiction of my most favourite OTP of all time; Metsu! :D For those that don't know, Metsu is NatsuxMeredy.
Happy: You llllllllllllike them.
Me: I'm a Metsuist, aka it's the name of the followers for the future Metsu religion that I shall make official.
Meredy: Is there really any need to make our personal lives so public? ^^'
Me: The world deserves to know what true love is all about. :)
Natsu: Hah! In your face Gray! I'm going to have my own religion!
Happy: Who are you talking to? Gray isn't here.
Natsu: Hahahahahahaha.
Me: Gray already has his own followers though; it's called Stripper Society.
Happy: We should make it official!
Me: XD Okay, but for now, on with the story!
Happy: Necro here does not own anything, including Metsu.
Me: Although I am the president of the Metsu fan-club.
Happy: Let's begin!
(Note1: Other than the obvious pairing that is Metsu, other pairings will likely be included (or at least hinted towards). I'll let those other pairings surprise you though, if you don't like a pairing being used and you really, really don't want to continue reading, then feel free to stop if that's all you care about when reading a story.)
(Note2: This story will be written in 1st person (I hate writing in 3rd person now), but the perspectives may vary between chapters. This will be made clear however. If there is any confusion, let me know. Obviously the perspectives that will be mostly used is Natsu and Meredy.)
(Note3: Anything that is in italic is speaking directly from the narrator, and not related to any character speaking what-so-ever.)
(Note4: This takes place after the time-skip, after the GMG/Dragon Festival arc, but before Tartaros / Sun Village arcs.)

Prologue
In the year X791, not long after the events of the Dragon Festival, our heroes of Team Natsu have went out to do yet another job together. It is but a simple quest to capture a bunch of bandits… but will it end up being more than that?
"Yo Happy! Look what I can do!" I exclaimed proudly as I started juggling fireballs.
"You make a good fire," the exceed said as he was floating in the air and holding a fish near the fireballs.
"Natsu, light this fire would ya?" Lucy said, trying to light the fire herself but was unable to do so. I fired a small fireball at the firewood, causing a huge flame to appear.
"Kya!" Lucy shouted as she jumped away from the fire before glaring at me. "Are you crazy? Be more careful next time!"
"Maybe you shouldn't stand so close to the firewood when you ask me to light it?"
"You should still be more careful, you're reckless," Gray said to me. I glared over to him.
"What you say, ice-brain?"
"You heard me clearly, flame-breath!"
"Oh yeah, you wanna fight?!"
"Bring it!"
"Here we go again," Lucy said in the distance with a sigh.
"Aye!" agreed the exceed.
Splat.
"…Did what I think happen, really just happen?!" Lucy said in a scared tone.
"Aye!" Happy agreed again, in his usual happy way.
"…..M-my… my strawberry shortcake…" a sad Erza said quietly, getting both mine and Gray's attention. We realized what had just happened, before fearing for our lives simultaneously.
"Oh dear," said the blonde.
"H-how dare you…" Erza glared at myself and Gray, requiping into her Heaven's Wheel armor and summoning a good 20 or so weapons instantaneously. "I'll make you pay for killing my strawberry shortcake with your very lives. Repent!" It suddenly turned into another terrifying experience for us…
Meanwhile, Meredy and Jellal have been travelling together, Ultear has long since left them, but her missing presence is still painful to the only two remaining members of Crime Sorcière.
"Goodbye, Meredy. I shall leave you to continue your own path… good luck," the woman said to me before fading out into the darkness.
I suddenly awoke from my sleep, breathing somewhat heavily. After a few seconds had passed, my eyes began to water and I started to cry. It's been restless these past few weeks. My travels with Jellal has been full of sadness and silence, the weather has been terrible, and I haven't been able to sleep… or when I have slept, I've had nightmares about what happened to Ultear. She was the most I've ever had for family, and now she's gone...
The campfire in-front of me was crackling, and I snuggled up close to it, trying to keep warm. It was a cold night, and the weather was stormy. That's when I realized, Jellal was missing. It confused me for a moment, where would he be going at this time of night? We were only in a small cave, so if he had wondered off somewhere, he must've left the cave itself. I thought about it for a while, but thought that he probably just went for a walk or something… in the storm. I decided to close my eyes again to try to get some more sleep, and waste away the night.
A few hours had passed, and I finally awoke for the last time. It was now morning, and the sun was starting to rise. I looked around the cave, but Jellal was still nowhere to be seen. I wondered where he could've gotten off to, so I left the cave and searched the surrounding area, trying to find my friend. It didn't take my very long however, to realize that he was no longer here. I was all alone. Did something happy? Or did he just leave me? It wouldn't be too surprising if he had gotten tired of me after all, I mean, with the way I have been lately.
But just then, I heard a rustling in the bushes. I thought it was Jellal returning, and I smiled to myself. Even though I was quite depressing to those around me, I didn't want to be left alone. When the figure came out of the bushes however, two things were made clear to me: there was more than one figure, and Jellal wasn't there.

Me: That's all for the prologue. :p Sorry it's short… and not too great… haven't written fan fictions in such a long time, and difficult to keep characters in-character. ._. But meh, hope you liked it.
Natsu: Hahahahaha! I'd beat Erza up any day of the week!
Me: Erm, might not wanna say that… ^^'
Natsu: Why not? Not like she's here. I'd defeat her in a fight any day and make her not have any cake for a whole month! Hahahaha.
Talking cake: EVIL!
Everyone: O_O
Erza: *standing behind Natsu, all scary-like* You say something?
Natsu: *jumps and sees Erza* Ah! Erza… when did you get here…? Heh… ^^'
Me: … Ahem… you realize you're all in my office, right? Play nice…
Meredy: Why did Jellal leave me?
Mystogan: ANIMA!
Me: …Read and review please. ^^'
Happy: Aye, sir!
