A/N Well this is my first story ever so I'm currently not that confident if this will be any good. Originally I only read stories on the site but after many stories I started coming up with ideas of my own and as you can see I've finally decided to make one of those ideas into a story.

"normal speech"

'thoughts'

Edit-just some grammer problems

Chapter 1

The Young Mercenary

History of Fiore and Edolas

For years there has been conflict and war between the kingdoms of Fiore and Edolas. The war had lasted so long that many people thought that it would not end or at least not until one of them was either conquered or burned to the ground. But finally a truce has been made and war shall end with the eldest daughter of Edolas marrying the eldest son of Fiore. There was much celebration going on that day since finally the war has ended.

Now after 18 years of peace the king's eldest son is the current king after the death of his father a few years ago. Along with he and his wife have given birth to a single daughter who is now the princess of Fiore. Her name is Erza Scarlet.

After waking up and letting out a yawn the young man with pink colored hair who looked about 17 got out of bed and got prepared for another day in the life of a mercenary. Looking over he sees his fellow mercenary still snoring loudly in bed.

"Geez can he snore any louder," grumbled the young man. He then throws his pillow at his snoring comrade. "Hey, wake up already your snoring is freaking annoying," he shouted at the other man who woke up with a shout at the rude awakening.

"Hey Natsu can't yah be any more gentle when yah wake a person up," grumbles the annoyed man.

"Ha I'll show yah gentle by pouring a bucket of water on yah next time, how can a person even snore so loud. I swear you coulda woken the dead with your snoring." retorted the young man known as Natsu.

"Hey yah can't blame me for being dead tired after yesterday's mission," the other mercenary defended. "Ha I can and I will Lloyd, or did yah forget I was there too," said the smirking Natsu. "Alright already I'm getting up, damn little punk," Lloyd said while saying the last part under his breath.

"Hey what you call me, you picking a fight," Natsu shouted while sporting a grin at the thought of a fight. "Hmm you must be hearing things, how can you be so energetic anyway," Lloyd sighed at the boy's vast amount of energy that he always seems to have even after just waking up. Frowning at the older man's lack of energy Natsu says, "Then stay in bed yah lazy bag of bones." Lloyd then tries to throw the pillow back at Natsu but missed as Natsu darted out of the room while laughing, 'Damn energetic little punk' was the last thing Lloyd thought before getting prepared for the day.

Natsu then moved to the rooms that his other mercenary comrades were staying in to see them still in bed while the leader of the group's bed was empty. 'Hmm I wonder where ol' Rob is' Natsu thought before heading down stairs part of the tavern that the group was currently staying in.

Seeing the old man Natsu head over the take a seat next to him, "Hey Rob already awake I see unlike all those other lazy guys," Natsu grinned. "Oh hey Natsu already awake I see, and don't insult your comrades even if they are lazy," the old man known as Rob chuckled.

"Alright," Natsu sighed then continued, "so when's our next mission anyway." "Energetic as always too I see," Rob chuckled again, "well lucky for you an old friend has asked a request of me so we will be leaving once everyone wakes up."

Cheered up by the thought of another mission Natsu had to force himself not to head back upstairs and wake up everyone himself. Rob then got a thoughtful look on his face while stating, "Its been 2 years since you joined us hasn't it."

Confused at the older man for suddenly bringing up the length of how long he has been with the group Natsu decided to ask the man a question, "Hey Rob how exactly did I end up joining with all of you again my memory is still kinda fuzzy about that time." The man then proceeded to chuckle again which he seems to do very often, "I would be surprised if you did remember seeing as we found you unconscious and without any memories before we met you too."

"Well whatever I'm forgetting doesn't matter since I'm with all of you now," Natsu grinned but if you knew him like Rob did you would see a hint of sadness in his eyes. Trying to change the subject Natsu asked Rob what the new mission is. "Ah this mission is to be the bodyguard for the King himself and his family at a party for his daughter's 17th birthday," Rob said while chuckling again at seeing the boys eyes almost pop out of his head at the mention of the royal family.

"T-T-The king, we're gonna protect the king," Natsu said in shock then asked, "but isn't that the kind of thing that the king has his own guards for?" "Ah well you see this old man is actually old friends with the king," Rob said with amusement in his eyes seeing the boy's reaction, "I used to always get requests from the king before I became the leader of this group."

Natsu then got rethought about not waking the others himself and immediately bolted up the stairs to the rooms of the others. From upstairs you could hear the surprised and shocked yells and shouts of the men who were rudely awakened. All this time Rob was downstairs chuckling at the boy's enthusiasm.

A/N Well there's the first chapter and I actually had a hard time deciding whether my first fanfic would be a full on story like I'm doing now or just some short one shot. And well as you can see I chose the former so please R&R and please no flames. I'll probably not upload a second chapter until I get some reviews for this one so until next time.
