It's been a year since Natsu and Lucy got together and they're still going on strong. But now Natsu wants to ask Lucy to marry him. His plan involves participating in a Celestial Mage tournament. How will this turn out?!

This is for WaterDragonMaverick who suggested that I make a sequel.

Every year in Fiore, Celestial Mages gather around to test their skills against one another. Each mage has both the spirit and owner battle. Lucy wanted to participate but…

NATSU's P.O.V

Lucy had a fever and it doesn't look like she will get any better soon before the tournament. She was very disappointed that she had to miss this event. She was really looking forward to it. But that doesn't mean I can't go in her place.

"Lucy, do you know what "Magic Transfer" is?"

"No. What (cough) is it?"

"Magic Transfer is the ability to transfer the power of another mages magic. Like say that you transferred your Celestial Magic to me, I could summon Spirits just like you." She cocked a brow questionably.

"Where are you going with this?"

"Lucy, I could take your place in the tournament!" Lucy's eyes widened.

"Y-y-y-y-you take my p-p-p-place?"

"Yeah Lucy! I'm your boyfriend! I'd do anything to make you happy!" It took her minute but she smiled with tears of joy.

"Oh Natsu…"

"Mmm. So you'll do the transfer?"

"Yes. But one question. Which spirit are you going to use? You're only allowed to use one spirit."

"I got the perfect one in mind. Draco."

"Draco?"

"Yes. Think about it. She's a dragon slayer like me, she has both sword magic and fire magic, and we got her key together." I said while grabbing and rubbing Lucy's hand. She smiled and blushed at my words.

"You're right. We did get her key. Okay (cough) let's do the transfer."

"Easy Lucy. Don't push yourself. Just summon Draco and I can do the transfer."

"Ok. Thank you Natsu." She gave me a peck on the lips and got out Draco's key.

"Now! Open! Gate of the Dragon! Draco!" A magic circle appeared and from it a female humanoid dragon appeared. A female spirit with dark green hair and light green eyes. She has on a dark green unitard, green dragon-like armor and carries a katana.

"Yes Lucy? How may I help you…(gasp) what happened to you?" She frantically asked.

"Don't worry Draco, I will be fine. Natsu, Mirajane and Levy have been taking good care of me."

"I see."

"Draco, since I can't participate in the tournament, Natsu will perform a Magic Transfer so that he can summon you into battle."

"Magic Transfer? Huh. Didn't think that was possible."

"Now that you mention it, Natsu how did you know about this technique?"

"Well actually The Celestial Spirit King came to me and told me about this technique."

"Eh?! His Majesty himself?!" Draco exclaimed.

"Yeah, I guess he must have heard about you being sick and me about wanting to do something for you." I scratched my head in embarrassment.

"Natsu…"

"Awww! Ok. As of right now, I will agree to make a contract with Natsu for the tournament." Draco said with excitement.

NORMAL P.O.V

Natsu held Lucy's hand and chanted the words to make the transfer. A magic circle appeared and Lucy's body began lighting up until that light transferred to Natsu. And in his hand, Natsu had Draco's key. The transfer was complete. Natsu now had the ability to summon Draco into battle.

"All right! Draco are you ready!"

"Ready Natsu! I'm all fired up!"

"Hey that's my line!" Draco and Lucy giggled at him.

The Next Morning

Natsu was saying goodbye to his girlfriend at the apartment before leaving to go to Balsam Village, where the tournament would be held.

"Mira. Levy, I'm counting on you to take care of my Lucy while I'm gone."

"Don't worry, you can count on us!" said Levy.

"We will take good care of Lucy while your away. And besides, you have a Lacrima crystal ball so you can check up on her when you have the chance."

"Mmm. Okay! I better get going! But before I go…" Natsu gives Lucy a quick goodbye kiss before he leaves.

"Good luck Natsu." Lucy says in a whisper.

"Thanks Lucy." He says and goes to the train station.

"Lucy is something wrong?"

"Nothing. I'm just worried since he has that motion sickness problem."

"Oh don't worry about that! Wendy made sure that the Troia spell would last until he got there."

"Well yeah but I mean when he comes back." Mira and Levy sweatdropped.

"Oh yeah…" They said in unison.

"I'm sure he'll be fine!" Levy said.

'I hope.'

On the train headed to Balsam Village

" (Sneezes). Is someone talking about me?" Natsu asked himself while rubbing his nose. He shrugged the thought off and fell asleep.

TIMESKIP

Natsu had just arrived at Balsam Village where the tournament was being held. Everyone was excited about the tournament as most of them were gathering around the town center where there was a sign-up sheet. Natsu saw the sheet and there were only five participants, six to be exact now that Natsu was participating.

Sign-Up Sheet:

Sorano

Siegfried

Takashi

Caley

Ahatake

"Oh! You're Natsu Dragneel aren't you!" One of the judges yelled out.

"Yeah! That's me."

"Your participating in this tournament?!"

"Yeah, see?" He showed them Draco's key.

"Hmm. I'm not convinced. Everyone in Fiore knows that you're a Dragon Slayer and that your girlfriend Lucy Heartfilia is a Celestial Mage. Just because you have a spirit key doesn't mean you can pass yourself off as a Celestial Mage. You have to show me you can summon a spirit." The judge demanded.

"Okay. Now Open! Gate of the Dragon! Draco!" He waved the key in his hand into the air. And like before, Draco appeared from a magic circle.

"OHHHH! YES! That's it! All right. You've proven yourself. Sign here and you will be entry no. 6." The judge said while handing Natsu the pen and sign-up sheet.

"Ok. Thanks." Natsu signed his name and the spirit he will be using and handed it back to the judge.

"All right. You're all set. Report back here at noon for the first day of the tournament."

"Ok I will."

"Well then how about you and your spirit take a look around the town?"

"But I can't stay in the human world for so long…" Draco said nervously.

"Don't worry! The Celestial Spirit King has placed a magic circle around the town so that all spirits can stay in the human world for as long as they want."

"Oh! In that case, let's look around the town Natsu!"

"Okay!" The two walked around the town, enjoying all the free food, games, and everything else the town had to offer, until the two got tired and found a hotel to stay at. It was getting late and the two knew that they will need to be rested for the tournament tomorrow.

"Natsu! So tell me. What is the prize for the tournament anyway?"

"Three things. 940,000 Jewels, Two Golden Keys of the Zodiac, and the prize that I really want…"

"Which is?"

"A heart-shaped sapphire ring that I plan to use to ask Lucy to marry me!" At this point Draco was squealing with glee like how Mira did when Natsu and Lucy announced that they were a couple.

"AWWWW! Ok, then we really have to win that tournament."

"Ok thanks Draco. Let's win this tournament!"

"Yeah! I'm all fired up!"

"Again! That's my line!" Draco was laughing at Natsu, because he got all mad about Draco using his catch phrase.

Outside the Hotel a mysterious figure watches the two from a rooftop.

"So, "Salamander" is taking blonde's place huh? Well, then, It will have to do for now." The figure then disappears out of sight.

Who is this mage? And what does he or she have against Lucy? Find out in the next chapter!
