I had to do a short story for English... Then I came up with a plot for a whole Fairy Tail fanfiction. XD Enjoy!
This first chapter is what I used for my short story :3
Stranded
At the time, it was sunny. Bright and cheerful like a child who was ready to play. Though Natsu, of course, was lying on the boat, his pink hair all over the floor underneath him, sick as a dog. This usually happens when we're coming back from a job. Natsu's blue cat companion was sitting beside him and I was across from the two, as the boat slowly drifted on its way.
"You've got to do something about that motion sickness Natsu." I sighed. "It should be no problem on a trip like this."
"It's not his fault Lucy." Happy, the blue cat responded, shaking his head.
"But still…" I mumbled, as a smooth rumble came from somewhere. "What was that?" I asked, getting sidetracked, and glancing over to the side.
The water, that was silky smooth before, suddenly turned into a huge, wrestling storm. Our boat rocked violently, and next thing I knew that was clear, was that we all spilled out. Then I drifted off to a shore, and when I woke up I was stranded there. Not knowing where anyone is, I lost Happy, and the pink haired fool Natsu somewhere.
Then, I had an idea. One of my spirits could go look for them. 'Virgo would be willing to help. Horologium could help too,' I thought, rustling through my keys. Once I found Virgo's key, I tried to summon her. But the pink haired girl from the celestial world did not come, there were no signs of her or her maid suit anywhere.
I tried again, and again, but Virgo did not come. When I tried Horologium too, there was no sign of the clock spirit even existing at the moment. But I kept trying, resulting in failure every time.
"Lucy!" I heard Happy call. I turned around and there he was. "I can't find Natsu anywhere…"
"Me neither. Have you tried your wings?" I asked the cat, willing for at least his magic to be working.
"Nope..." Happy said back. "I couldn't use them… Lucy, we can't use magic here. Have you at least seen Natsu?"
"We lost him…" I said, looking out at the mad water, which against the rocks made it look like a face that was screaming, and I wondered if Natsu landed in a different place…and if he's even alive anymore.
Eventually, Happy and I came to the decision that we would keep looking around this dark, gloomy island to try and find our friend that had gone missing. But after many hours of struggling with the trees and the now falling water from the sky, I thought about just giving up. We were getting nowhere, and there wasn't any symbol of Natsu's pink hair, or of his scarf, the thing that he has with him almost all the time. One thing we did see, however, was clothes. Happy saw them before I did, but after I saw them closely; they were torn, ripped apart by something out of the ordinary. Now, as much as I feared that Natsu lost his life, I was scared of keeping my own as well.
"You don't think," I began.
"Don't worry." Said Happy. His voice was shaky, yet there was the tiniest hint of confidence. "Those aren't his. Whoever's it was, got a big beating. But it's weird, where's the body?"
"I don't want to find the body. I just want to know if Natsu's alive." I continued. "We have to find him and get out of here."
Happy and I carried on, tripping and stumbling on at least every other rock, tree root, or hills there were, in desperate search of the only person that was missing. It wasn't long until we stumbled upon a building. A big, tall, round one. I was trying not to get my hopes up, but I thought maybe, just maybe, Natsu would be there. So I opened the door, and headed inside, being followed by the small blue cat.
"Natsu!" We called as we got inside, but all hope was lost when we called, for we got no response.
I slumped against the wall of the abandoned building. There really was no hope left. I buried my head in my knees. First we got stranded, then we lost Natsu and now he's probably dead. Not to mention there's probably dangerous creatures we would never know about.
Suddenly, the door of the building swung open and hit the wall. I expected to see one of the unknown creatures that were out there, but then when I looked up, I saw him. The pink haired, scarf wearing idiot of all time, was alive. I sighed in relief that we were all safe, and he was finally with us again. The rain, the island, nothing else mattered. We found Natsu, and he was alive. I couldn't help but to fling myself at him and pull him into a tight hug.
"I wasn't that missed, was I?" he asked, his voice kind of confused.
"No, not at all," I said with an attitude. "Though it's better to find you out there alive not dead. Remember, this place is strange, and who knows what could happen."
"Right…" he responded, a smile creeping onto his face. "There's no way I can die Lucy. I can protect myself. With my magic and all."
"Natsu," I looked at him. "We can't use magic here."
"Oh really?" Natsu asked, clearly the first time he heard this information. "Just another reason to get off this dreaded island. Let's just stay here. The storm will be over soon."
