Hey there peeps! I am IsolatedWilderness and I am back with a new story! Well, truth be told, this is my first EVER Fairy Tail Fanfiction. So if possible, no flames please? But reviews and constructive criticism stuff are welcome! So anyways, this is a NaLu story. (That is, I will attempt at it) Here we go! Wait, before you go, can I say: I am not up to the Grand Magic Games yet! And I am watching the anime, not manga.
Chapter 1- A race of time has begun
Lucy walked through the wide open door, greeted by the familiar sight of Natsu and Gray fighting each other. A few people were clamoring to get a good job, pushing each other out of the way. Lucy sighed. Fairy Tail will always be Fairy Tail. Natsu heard the door opening with his sharp hearing, and turned his head to see.
"Oh, Lucy. H-"He was cut short by Gray.
"What the hell, Ice Princess!"
"Serves you right, Ash Brain!" Gray yelled back. Elfman joined the growing fray.
"Be a Man and come fight me!" he roared.
"I don't even want to know what that means." Evergreen said, flapping her fan.
Lucy quickly went over to the bar, where Mirajane was polishing the glasses. She sat down.
"Mira, can I have the usual please?"
"Sure Lucy, coming right up!" Mirajane replied, amiably smiling. Lisanna came over and sat down next to Lucy.
"Hey Lucy."
"Hi Lisanna." Lucy slumped on the table.
"Hard night, huh?"
"Yeah, Natsu and Happy sneaked through my window, for like the thousandth time! I should really remember to keep that damned thing closed and locked." Lisanna smiled sympathetically, before a mischievous smirk replaced it.
"Oh, is that so? I wonder why?" Lisanna said, suggestively. Lucy turned tomato red, understanding her implications.
"What? No. Just no. Natsu would NOT harbor any feelings whatsoever t-towards me. And i-it's not like I like him as well." Lucy stammered. Lisanna's knowing smirk became even wider.
"Right. I totally believe you." Lucy groaned.
Lisanna waved cheerfully, returning to where ever she had come from. As soon as she left, Mirajane came back, balancing the plate on her hand. She placed it carefully on the table.
"Thanks, Mira!"
"Anytime, Lucy."
Meanwhile, Natsu, Gray and Elfman's fight had ceased, because of- you guessed it, Erza Scarlet, the fearsome S-class mage. She had single handedly knocked Gray and Natsu out, while Elfman was shivering in the corner. Erza dusted her hands off and wiped the non-existent sweat. Lucy smiled. Maybe that would teach Natsu and Gray to stop fighting. But of course that would be impossible. They were completely different mages, one using fire, and the other, water. Being rivals did nothing to help. And besides, Natsu wouldn't be Natsu and Gray wouldn't be Gray. Natsu bolted upright and breathed fire at the ceiling.
"IDIOT! Do you want to set the building on fire?" Erza shouted.
"YES, sir!" Natsu saluted. Lucy laughed at the sight of Natsu sulking.
Lucy called Natsu over. "What?" he said rudely. Lucy glared at him.
"Hello to you, too."Lucy said. "Do you wanna play hangman?"
"Sure." Natsu replied. Lucy wrote the mystery word down. Natsu started guessing letter. What he didn't see, was that each time he guessed a wrong letter, Lucy's face seemed to get paler and paler. Only when Lucy started gasping for breath, did he notice that something was amiss.
"Yes Natsu. Let's play. Only this time, the rules are a little different."
A race of time has begun.
So how was the first chapter? I know, it was superduper short, but I promise I will try to make it longer. Also, I am sorry to say, expect slow updates, as I have a lot of stuff on.
