Welcome! I'm really excited to share this story with you guys. I woke up one morning and was like... I need to write this. It was a moment of motivation and an idea I just couldn't stop. It just kept flowing. I kinda hope this is an original idea too.

What's a rich, beautiful, smart, and sophisticated girl supposed to do when her father dies? Of course spend a lot of money. Oh, but not on clothes, or expensive houses. No. Lucy Heartfilia was going to spend her money on an adventure. Not just any adventure either. She was going to travel the world and see all the great wonders. She already had a plan.

Since she is starting her grand adventure in middle of April, she was going to do her lifelong dream. She was going to swim with the whale sharks off of the cost of western Australia. That was her first stop. From there she had a few other things she wanted to do, but she also wanted to make sure the person she took with her had a say in what they were going to do. So for now, she just had two tickets to Perth Airport in Australia. Her companion for this would be none other than Levy McGarden. Her best friend in the world. Levy was 25 and already in a top position of the FBI or whatever... Lucy just knew that without Levy, the world would probably be destroyed. She was convinced Levy was a superhero.

"Are you almost ready, beautiful?" Lucy smiled as she folded her last article of clothing in her luggage. She turned to face her long time companion and bodyguard.

"Yes, Leo. Has the taxi picked up Levy yet?" The blonde stood after zipping up the bag. She could feel the excitement racing through her. Despite her father's passing, Lucy was still ready to live life. Her father and her had a dropout years ago so their relationship wasn't stable. It really hadn't been ever since her mom had died. She had only been seven when she lost her mother. Her mother, Layla had been the peace keeper of the house. She brought together the family. It was hard on both her and her father, Jude. It had made a rough gap between them. But this past year, Lucy and Jude had made it a priority to call once a month. It wasn't anything great or amazing, but it kept them together. She had been devastated when she her her father had died. She remembered demanding that Levy and Leo sleep with her for the night. It's been four weeks since and now she was ready to do something awesome. She had set up her apartment lease so that way when she came back in a year or so, it would still be hers and she wouldn't have rent to pay over her trip. She was rich, but she was still smart with her money.

"I haven't heard word on the taxi yet but I assume everything is still going as planned. Shall we go then, lovely?" Leo flashed her a seductive grin and held out his hand. Lucy chuckled when she saw his face drop as soon as she put her luggage in his hand knowing he had expected her grab his hand with hers.

"Yes we shall, and don't drag my luggage. I don't want the wheels to get dirty till my trip officially starts." She winked at him over her shoulder and walked out of her complex. At the end of the entrance she turned to look at her home. It would be a long time before she came back here. Opening her phone she turned around and held it high in the air. "Leo, smile!" She saw him grinning while pulling the purple luggage behind him in the camera. She gave her best grin and a peace sign and snapped the picture. She set it as her phone background and then put it back in her side bag.

Leo stood beside her as they waited for the car. Leo kept glancing at her and couldn't help but be worried for her. She was his everything. Since they were kids they were together. They took martial arts, dance, and everything in between together growing up. He didn't want to leave her side. Not for almost two years. Even though she had agreed they would meet up in some countries, it hurt knowing that he wouldn't be enjoying her adventure with her. He loved her.

"Lucy... Are you sure you don't want me to come? I can be extra protection for you." He asked for the hundredth time. He gave a small smirk when he saw her huff and cross her arms, and with the shirt she was wearing it caused her breasts to look lovely. He cast his eyes to hers and saw the determination shining through her cocoa eyes. He knew she wasn't going to change her mind and if he were to be honest with himself, it broke his heart.

"I'm going to be fine. Remember, my father had bodyguards all over the world. As soon as we land in Australia, Scorpio will be there waiting for us." Lucy could see the devastation on his face. She understood it quite well. She was going to miss him immensely. "I'll miss you too." She threw herself into his arms and held him knew she would never feel anything beyond a family bond with him and she knew he understood that. But it didn't stop her from feeling awful for leaving him like this.

Leo kissed the top of her head. "You better return in one piece. Okay?" He felt Lucy nod against his shoulder. "Good. Now stop being so mushy. The car is here." Lucy jumped from his arms and playfully swatted him.

After a long goodbye to Leo, she got in the car and texted Levy.

'I'm on my way! I can't wait to see you!'

Lucy stared out the window at the passing cars wondering how many of them have an opportunity like she did. How many people got to travel the world when they're 24? She felt giddy as she saw the airport in sight. The car stopped and came to a slow hault.

"M'lady, it appears there has been an accident ahead of us. I'm afraid it might be a twenty minute delay." The driver said from the front. Lucy shrugged.

"It's fine. Afterall, I wanted to make sure we checked in 2 hours before we board. We'll be good!" Her grin relieved the driver's stress. He would have hated to be the cause of her missing her flight. Lucy turned back out to the window. She knew this area around the airport wasn't so great. It was full of homeless people, gangs, and drunk drivers. Unfortunately, this airport was the closest one that had a flight to Australia. She watched as a couple of the homeless folks gather around to see what happened. She noticed one in particular. A young man... with pink hair? Weird. He seemed too young to be homeless, but she never knew. She grew up without money problems so she tried her best to keep her opinions to herself. Lucy kept her brown eyes on the man. He was captivating to say the least with his pink hair. Perhaps he wasn't homeless. But she had a feeling.

She could tell the shoes he had on were worn down to the soles. His shirt was clearly not clean and the bag he carried with him was hanging together by threads. The strange thing was his face and hair seemed perfectly fine. Then Lucy pieced it together. It was common for homeless people to live near airports. It was always filled with people and had running water. Sometimes homeless people would stay in the airport for a night or so. It was rare that they would get caught due to the continuous movement of people. Her heart went out to them. She decided then when she came back from her trip, she would donate a large sum to a homeless shelter.

When they finally made it through to the airport, Lucy excitedly leapt out of the car and grabbed her bag. She thanked the driver then went inside. She was greeted with the sights of many people in line for security. She filed in behind them. While waiting, she pulled out her phone and saw she had a missed call from Levy. She sighed and stepped out of line to call her back.

"Lucy! I'm so glad I caught you. Are you already at the airport?" Lucy smiled but felt her heart drop a bit at the tone Levy was using. She sounded worried about something.

"Yeah! I was about to get in line for security check. Where are you?" The blonde looked around to see if she could see her friend yet. No sign of her blue haired friend, but she did see pink. She guessed her theory was right when she saw him go into the public bathrooms.

"Lu… I'm really sorry. But I can't go."

Her heart fell to her toes. She could feel her dreams shattering. "What!? Why not!? You said your boss was okay with you taking a year off!"

"I know you're mad Lu-"

"Mad? I'm furious! Why are waiting till the last minute to tell me?"

"I just found out-"

"Don't tell me you're going away for another mission! Last one you went on was for five months! I can't wait five months for this trip!" Lucy knew she was acting like a child but she didn't care. She was hurt. "You promised you would go! You can't just lea-"

"I'm pregnant!"

"-ve me like this!" Suddenly all became just white noise to her. "What…?"

"I said I'm pregnant. I had a suspicion but I wasn't for sure until this morning. I went to the doctor and he said I'm 7 weeks along…"

"Oh my, Levy! What are you going to do?" All feelings of hurt left her body. Now Lucy felt like a jerk. "I'm sorry I yelled at you."

"It's okay. I'm just sorry I didn't go to the doctor till today. But I think I'm going to have to tell Gajeel tonight. He's been talking about taking a break since I was going on that year trip with you. I guess this was the sign I wasn't ready to lose him." Levy sounded exhausted. Lucy understood why.

Lucy spent the next couple minutes talking to Levy. She talked about how she should call Leo whenever she needed extra hands. She also suggested things about what she thought was important to remember when you were pregnant. Then she offered to stay because Levy was her best friend and if she needed any help around her house, Lucy could be there in a flash.

"No way, Lucy! You need to go on your trip!"

Lucy laughed. "Well who am I supposed to ask to go? The flight leaves in less than two hours."

"I don't know. I'm sure you'll find someone. If not you could ask a homeless person! I'm sure they would love to go on your adventure!" Levy joked. Somehow, Lucy actually started considering it. It's not like she had anything to lose and the person she chose had so much to gain. Then she remembered a flash of pink she saw earlier.

"I'm sure, Levy. Anyway, I'll figure something out. Love you!" She hung up and a new sense of determination filled her. She was going to hunt down that pink haired guy and bring him on her adventure. He had looked about her age and she was going to have bodyguards everywhere. So she really didn't see the danger in it. Maybe she was being stupid. Maybe even a little crazy, but she was going on this adventure one way or another.

It took her ten minutes to find him. She saw him sitting on a bench counting some change.

This is it. She thought. She took a deep breath and approached him. "Hi! I'm Lucy! Mind if I sit down here?" She saw him look up in shock. He gave her a look and shrugged.

"Yeah, sure. I'm not reserving it for anyone." He scoot over to give her more space on the bench. Lucy smiled and placed herself beside him. He looked back over at her and thought she was weird. "I'm Natsu."

Lucy played with her fingers. How was she supposed to ask him on an adventure? Would it be rude to ask straight out if he was homeless? No… She had to play it didn't want to scare him off. She had little over an hour left to get this guy on board with her. "So, where you headed to?"

The question caught him off guard. "Oh… Uh… I'm flying to East Texas." He had no clue what the hell was in Texas but it was the first thing that came to him.

"That's cool. I went to Texas once for the Alamo. It was really interesting." Natsu nodded and proceeded to count out his change. "Can I see your ticket? I want to see what airline you're using." She smiled and held out her hand.

Natsu glared at her. Why did she want to see his ticket? Then he panicked. What if she was actually a security officer. Then she would kick him out and he wouldn't be able to get back inside. This was the only place he could get water from and he wasn't about to lose it. "I have to go." He got up and was about to walk away when her next words stopped him.

"Wait! I know you're homeless. I saw you on the streets out there. Please, don't walk away. I want to talk to you." She held his gaze and she could see his eyes calculating his decision. His onyx eyes didn't seem like they were going to budge. He finally closed his eyes and sat down.

"What the hell do you want from me?" He didn't look at her. She didn't expect him to. Lucy was just glad he was willing to listen to her.

"I want an adventure from you." Her words caused him to choke. An adventure? If she knew he was homeless how the hell did she think he was going to be able to give her anything? He couldn't even get a breakfast bar for himself this morning. "Look, I know it sounds crazy but I am planning a world trip. I'm leaving in an hour. I was supposed to go with my friend but turns out she's pregnant." She paused to look at him. His eyes were steady on her showing he was listening so she continued. "So, I don't have time to refund the tickets but I can change the name on it. I don't know you, but I don't think you're dangerous. I'm asking you because I saw you out there on the street near the accident. You looked genuinely concerned. Cruel people in this world don't get concerned for others. So I'm trusting you."

"You're trusting me just because I was concerned about a car accident? You're lucky to be alive if that's how you throw your trust around." He scoffed at her. But she seemed serious. What kind of lunatic asks a homeless person to get on a plane with them and travel the world? "But if you're being serious, why waste money on me through the trip? Why not just waste the ticket but then save the rest of your money along the way?"

"Well, I could do that but adventures are more fun when you share them with someone. I don't really want to go alone." She couldn't help but laugh. "Not to mention, I'm actually really rich. So money wouldn't be a problem."

Natsu just stared blankly at her. "Did you escape from an asylum or something?"

Lucy puffed her cheeks out at him. "Thats rude! I'm being serious! If you don't want to go, just tell me. I will need to find a new companion if you say no and I'm running out of time!"

Natsu thought about it. What did he really have to lose from this? He really wanted to go. Just to see if this girl was being serious. He was imagining all the kinds of fun he would have. Not to mention this airport was starting to get boring. He wanted new surroundings. Fine. She would go. But he had one question. "Where the hell are we going to first?" His grin stretched across his face. Lucy felt her excitement bubble in her stomach.

"First stop, Australia!" She leapt up and grabbed his hand. "Let's go get your name on this ticket!"

Natsu felt good for the first time. He had no clue what he did in his life but he was praying this wasn't a sick joke or a plot to murder him. He felt Lucy's energy and fed off it. It was contagious like the flu. Only it left wanting to vomit out of excitement.

He would have to think of a better analogy. Till then his grip on her hand never loosened. He let himself be dragged behind this bubbly blonde until they reached a service desk.

"Hi! Lucy Heartfilia and Levy McGarden. I had tickets reserved for first class on flight C35. I'm afraid my friend couldn't make it so I would like to change the name on it." Lucy added a wink at the service man to increase the speed she got this done. She did only have 40 minutes to get to her gate. The man behind the desk blushed.

"R-right away, ma'am. What name would you like to change?" Lucy smiled and leaned against the counter, pushing her breasts against it. "I would like to change Levy McGarden to Natsu…"

Natsu pulled out an old license. "Natsu Dragneel." The man took the ID and made a few changes to the tickets on his computer. Once they were printed out he handed them the tickets and Natsu his ID. "Thank you so much for your help!" Lucy said.

Once again Natsu was being pulled around by this girl. They Made it through security with no problems and took off for their gate. Lucy had asked if he had ever been on a plane before and found out he had and got motion sickness like crazy. She stopped at store in the airport and bought him some medicine. One for sleeping and the other for motion sickness.

While Lucy was checking out, Natsu watched her with curiosity. He never had anyone treat him so kindly as she had. Not since he had lost his father, Igneel. She was weird. That was for sure. He still couldn't help the little spark of excitement moving through him. He had never been anywhere outside the country. Hell, he had barely ever been outside of New York. He had also watched as Lucy persuaded the security to get him on board despite he didn't have a passport. Thankfully, they got him one. Apparently they owed the Heartfilia name one or now here he was. Homeless, and about to go on adventure of a lifetime with a girl he never met till today. He pinched himself constantly waiting for him to wake up. Maybe he was on drugs…

"All set! I also got you some slippers and a neck pillow. That way you can be more comfortable on the flight." Lucy grinner at her new companion while holding up a bag of goodies. "I also got some snacks too."

Yeah. Natsu was pretty sure he was high. There was no way anyone in this world was this kind to strangers. Either that or he was about to be murdered and she wanted to be out of the country for that. Somehow he didn't think this was the situation. He thanked her and offered to carry the bags.

"NOW BOARDING FLIGHT C35. ALL FIRST APARTMENT MEMBERS PLEASE BOARD."

Lucy jumped up and down in excitement! "Oh, Natsu, you'll love this! I got us a great room! I heard the airline has the best first class flight. They say it's like 'your own apartment in the sky!" By now Natsu practically held out his hand for her to take and run with. He didn't mind it. He hadn't had any real contact with people in a long time.

"I just hope I don't get sick." As they boarded Natsu snuck in one of each of the medications she bought. "How long is this flight anyway, like an hour?"

Lucy laughed. "Natsu, you're crazy. It's almost 13 hours!" Before he could respond and cry out for help, she was dragging him along with her into a cabin walkway. A stewardess kindly showed them to their room. It was an open space but had two couches facing each other. A tv was on the wall above one of the couches and was currently playing some movie. The stewardess opened a cabinet showing them where the pillows and blankets were located for when they wanted to sleep. On the next door, she gave them a key to a private bathroom, courtesy to the Heartfilia family name. It had showers and sinks with extra pajamas in case. "Isnt this amazing? Oh, I wish Levy could've been here!"

Natsu let his jaw drop. It was such a nice little space that he was considering kicking her out and demanding she get her own. He eyed the couch with a needy look. He held himself back though. After all, this wasn't his. He was a guest, or something like it. Lucy took note of his expression and she felt sad. Natsu probably hadn't slept or sat on something that wasn't a metal or plastic bench in who knows how long.

"Natsu, thank you for coming with me. I know it must seem crazy that one day someone would walk up to you and say, 'come on an adventure with me' but I meant it. Who knows, maybe it was fate. All I know is you're here and we're going to have the best time ever. Okay?" She squeezed his hand then moved to sit down on the couch. "Ahhh… This is nice." She closed her eyes, letting herself relax.

The pink haired man sat himself across from her. His eyes studying her again. Maybe it was fate she was here. Maybe he did something that caused him to be blessed like this. He wasn't going to complain, not yet anyway. For now, he was going to let go of his worries… And probably make use of that bathroom they have. He couldn't imagine he smelled great. Despite he made sure to wash himself, it was hard doing so out of a sink in an airport restroom. He made plans to use what he was given for now and wait till life decided to throw him to the dogs again.

1) This just might be the longest I've ever written something.

2)Holy shit have y'all seen some of those really expensive first class travel planes? Like shiiiiit. I want like 3.

3)The plane they are in is based off of Etihad Airways first Apartment. Y'all can look it up. It's crazy. But yeah… I was looking up flights from New York to Australia and they came up so I used them.

4)I know I have another story I'm working on but this one is now taking my all my time. I'll finish the other one later.

5) I'm going to try and write a couple chapters before I post again. I want to get deeper into the plot so I have a good story line.
