Chapter 1

Disclaimer ~ I do not own Fairy Tail

"Hey Natsu. We're here," Happy stated stepping off the train. The small blue cat turned around to look at his longtime friend to see him lying motionless on the train's floor. Natsu groaned and slowly dragged himself off the train.

"I hate transportation," Natsu grumbled as he recovered from his horrible motion sickness. Happy watched as Natsu's face regained its normal color.

"It's funny how you are always so calm but are taken out by transportation," Happy said with a sigh. Natsu ignored him in favor of looking around the town.

"Do you think we will find her this time?" Happy asked Natsu after doing the same.

"I hope so buddy. I really do," Natsu replied absentmindedly. His attention was on a growing crowd nearby. The crowd consisted of all females, gathered in a circle around something.

"Should we check it out Happy?" The dragon slayer asked.

"Yeah. Let's go!" The Exceed cheered happily. They walked over to the group and managed to forced their way through to the middle of the circle. In it was a single man who was making handsome faces, or at least what he thought they were. Every time he did the women swooned and begged for more. While Natsu was watching them he overheard a few of the women talking.

"I can't believe the Serpent came here!" one girl exclaimed happily.

"I know! He is just so dreamy," another replied.

"If he's the Serpent I'm a demon," Natsu muttered to Happy.

"What are we going to do?" his buddy asked, but Natsu was already gone. Pushing a blonde haired girl with huge boobs aside, Natsu stood in front of the man claiming to be Serpent.

"You are the Serpent, correct?" Natsu asked with a raised eyebrow. The man turned to look at him with a smile, showing off his sparkling teeth.

"Why yes I am. Are you another fan?" he asked. Natsu shook his head.

"Not exactly. What guild are you in?" Natsu asked, wondering what the fake would say.

"Why Fairy Tail of course! Haven't you heard of me? If you want, I can put in a good word to the master for him to let you join," the fake said grinning and causing the girls around them to go wild.

"Really you know the old man? You guys must go way back with how old you are." The dragon slayer said with a friendly smile. "After all, I've never seen you around the guild hall before," Natsu continued still smiling calmly. There was a shocked gasp through the crowd of girls. Murmurs of imposter was passed through the girls.

"I must have been away on mission the times you went to the guild. A famous mage must make a living after all," the imposter said flipping his hair dramatically. Natsu raised an eyebrow.

"Really? I can show you my guild mark but where's yours?" Natsu asked, taking off his jacket in one fluid motion. The fairy tail guild mark stood out on his shoulder in a bright sea blue. The man was sweating heavily now. With no other option, the man used his magic to send a torrent of water at Natsu. The swirling vortex engulfed him and he vaguely heard the girls from before running away screaming. He could hear happy talking to the blonde girl he pushed away but ignored what they were saying. Natsu took a deep breath and began to eat the water, almost gagging at the taste.

"Are you sure you are a water mage? This water tastes so polluted," Natsu said after all the water was eaten, wiping his mouth calmly.

"Bora! I think this guy is the real deal!" a man, who was standing in an alley watching the imposter flirt with the girls, yelled running out. The newly named Bora yelled for the guy not to call him that.

"Bora's a bad guy from Titan Nose, he was kicked out after dealing in slave trading!" Happy exclaimed.

"Slave trading, how despicable." Natsu growled, stalking towards Bora. The faker stumbled backwards, staring at the man in front of him in horror.

"St-stay away from me!" He cried, trying to get away from Natsu, only to trip and fall backwards. He continued to back away until his back hit the wall of a building. Natsu continued to approach him.

"Let me show you the true power of a serpent," Natsu growled. "Water dragon's iron fist!" he said, punching Bora in the stomach. The blow seemed to make the man shake, as if the punch had gone through his entire body. Stepping back, the pinkette watched as the faker collapsed to the ground, completely passed out. Happy whistled.

"Natsu! Can we get some yummy fish now?" he asked. Natsu nodded, but before they could get very far they were stopped by a blonde girl.

"Who are you?" The dragon slayer asked.

"My name is Lucy. I was one of the girls you saved from the charm spell," the girl, Lucy, introduced herself. "I wanted to say thank you for saving me."

"Eh, it wasn't that big of a deal." Natsu said, shrugging. He turned away, raising a hand in farewell. "Well, see ya!"

"Wait!" Lucy called after him. "You said you were in the Fairy Tail guild right?" she asked, moving to catch up with him. The pinkette turned to her, grinning broadly.

"Yep, and unlike that faker, I've got the mark to prove it!" He said, showing her his blue fairy tail mark.

"Is it hard to get in? I've always wanted to join a guild and Fairy Tail is the best one," Lucy asked curiously.

"Nah. You just come in and ask Gramps," Natsu said shrugging. Happy nodded in agreement.

"Why don't you come with us?" The cat suggested. The blonde looked at them in astonishment.

"Can I?" She asked breathlessly. The dragon slayer shrugged nonchalantly.

"Why not?" He asked, motioning to her. Lucy smiled widely and joined Natsu in his walking. Happy reminded the group about his fish and Lucy offered to pay, saying that it was the least she could do for them. And so, the trio made their way into a restaurant nearby for lunch. Afterwards they would be on their way to Fairy Tail.

So yeah, this is a story I started years ago. I like to think Natsu would be a lot calmer since he's a water dragon slayer instead of a fire dragon slayer. I have no clue how often I will update this fic so just fair warning to all of you guys. This sat in a folder on my computer for at least two to three years (cause I kinda forgot it existed...Whoops?) before I decided to post it .

Okay this apparently had a problem where it showed up in Code. If that happened to you I apologize. This site apparently hates me.

I'd appreciate it if you reviewed! I love to hear your reviews. They are what makes me even want to write in the first place.

Can't wait to hear from you! Until next chapter!
