Chapter 1

Former Authoress: Primsgirl89 (You can find her on both Wattpad and !)

Beater/Reviser & New Authoress: Kartara (You can find me both on Wattpad and .)

Quick note: I, Kartara, adopted this series form Primsgirl89 and began to write for it. Soon after, Prim and I both agreed that it'd be best if I edited the past chapters (Chapters 1 – 12) in my own style and upload it as my own fan-fiction to avoid copyright. Credit for the original story plot and development should go to her for these lovely chapters!

Lucy grumbled about the prices in this town to herself, angry at how outrageously high they were. She sighed after a few minutes and stopped at a spot that overlooked a few shops and sat on the balustrade.

Where should I go now? She asked herself.

She's suddenly brought out of her thoughts when she hears a girl yell to her friend, "Hurry up! I heard Salamander is here!"

"Who's Salamander?" Her friend asked.

"Are you kidding me? You don't know who Salamander is? He's a famous mage!" The girl squealed.

That made her interest peak. Why would a famous mage come to a town like this? She thought.

Lucy decided to follow the girl to see Salamander. As soon as she saw him, her heart started to pound, her cheeks began to flush, and she couldn't bring herself to look away. She could only see and think of him. He had her undivided attention. She pushed her way to the front of the crowd. He smirked and gave her a wink. She suddenly got butterflies in her stomach. Barely containing her squeal, she set her hand over her heart out of reflex.

Is this love? Lucy asked herself. She decided that it was, and she was going to stay with him forever. Then she saw his hand, which held a ring, and the feeling stopped when she realised that the ring was some ring charm.

This is guy using a love charm! I walked to the back of the group and noticed a male shove his way to the front with a flying blue cat. This could be interesting.

The next few minutes later the "Salamander" was enjoying the attention until she hissed through clenched teeth, "Using charms to get attention? Pathetic."

Salamnder didn't like that one bit.

"Not only is it pathetic, it's also pretty damn low," The man next to her responded in a bored voice. His voice was smooth and deep. He pulled his hood down, showing his salmon hair. His skin was a good tan. His eyes are what caught her attention the most, though. His eyes were so void of emotion other than hatred and annoyance. His dark eyes caught hers and she mouthed her plan. He nodded.

"Get him to take off those rings. I will get some soldiers."

She ran off, but there was a hot flame following her. She ran faster, ignoring the gasp of surprise. She came back with the soldiers five minutes later. She saw the salmon haired boy sitting on the beat-up "Salamander". He got up and walked away without his cat. She grabbed the cat and walked close behind him. He didn't say anything, but he did slow down.

A few hours later of walking, they camped out. The blonde woman began to cook food while whispering her new celestial magic spells to herself. The salmon-haired boy looked more annoyed when the cat woke up. The cat rubs its sleepy eyes as he paused and looked up at her with curious big eyes.

"Hey, Natsu?" The male beside her grunted but gave no other sign that he was listening. "Who's the blonde?"

She looked at the cat and flicked its nose playfully with two fingers. Natsu never answered the cat so she decided to answer. "I'm Lucy. This idiot basically left you where you were, so I picked you up and tagged along. He doesn't seem to mind, though. Who are you guys? Where are you from? Are you in a guild? If so, what guild?" She asked question after question.

The cat seemed to be the talker in the relationship. "I am Happy and this," he pointed to the salmon haired boy, "is Natsu. We live in Magnolia. We are mages of Fairy Tail, and it looks like you are coming with us." As he finished, Natsu nodded as Happy smiled, living up to his namesake. She just nodded and fell asleep while snuggling Happy.
