Hello everyone! This story is my first fanfiction, so I decided to put it onto my account. I have it on Wattpad, but I realized that it's kinda hard for people to see my work there. So, I hope that more people would notice it here, and I really hope that you enjoy it! If you like this story and you want me to continue it, then please let me know in the comments!

3rd Person

The blazing hot sun rose upon another summer morning. Natsu's favorite time of the year has come once again, and he has never been in a greater mood.

"C'mon, Happy! I'm hungry! Let's go to the guild!" Natsu exclaimed, jumping off his hammock and putting on his sandals.

Happy bolted towards him, easily rubbing off his good mood. "Aye, sir!"

The two of them took off, running through the heart of Magnolia and dodging past the people in the busy street. Once they arrived at the guild, they were greeted by many familiar faces. Happy flew to Lucy and the others while Natsu walked up to the bar and sat on a chair. "Hey, Mirajane! Can I get some breakfast?"

Mirajane looked up from wiping down her counter. "Good morning, Natsu! You're sure in a good mood. I'll fix you something to eat."

Gray stormed in and slammed his fist on the counter in front of Natsu. "Hey! I know it was you who melted that ice sculpture I made!"

Natsu shot up, nearly knocking his chair backward. "So! It was ugly anyway." He taunted, smirking. Curious guild members turned their heads, excited to see another fight take place.

"Ooo, you are just asking for a fight, aren't cha, flame-brain?"

"Come at me, ice princess!"

The two bud heads together, bickering insults at each other. Then one threw a cup, missed its target, landed on a bystander, and you know the rest.

Lucy patiently waited for Erza to come and break up the fight as she chatted with Levy and Happy. As if on cue, Erza walked into the guildhall and went to the bar for a strawberry cake. However, two boys were in her way from getting to her prized possession, and that annoyed her. A dark aurora formed around her. "Natsu? Gray? Are you two fighting?!"

Immediately realizing that they were in danger, Natsu and Gray hugged each other in order to mask their quarrel. "Of course not! We are best buddies!" They chirped in unison.

"Great. Now step out of my way so I can get myself a strawberry cake."

Lucy stood up from her table and walked to the request board, eager to find a mission for team Natsu to do. She really needed the money right now, especially since she's been using it on Natsu for food. Natsu sat down next to Erza, chomping down the breakfast Mirajane gave him. Gray, on the other hand, walked next to Lucy to help her look for a mission. Once he approached her, a page caught his eye. "Hmm..." He said, picking up the paper and examining it. This caught Lucy's attention. She leaned over to see. "What is it?"

"It's a request to stop a dark guild in a small village."

"What's so special about that?"

"Well, it's only asking for 'the salamander'. Why do they just want Natsu?"

"Hmm... that's interesting. I'll let him know." Lucy turned around and yelled at Natsu. "Hey! Natsu! There is a request for you!" Her statement caught some attention- after all, there are never requests for Natsu alone. Natsu turns around, with a smile beaming on his face. He ran to the request board and snatched the paper from Gray.

"For me?" He asked.

"Yup," Lucy replied. "Do you know this guild?" Lucy pointed at the name, Wolf fangs, on the paper.

"Nope! Never heard of them!" Natsu said as he continued to scan the paper. "Hey, 8,000,000 jewels! That'll definitely pay Luce's rent!" Lucy's eyes widened. "8,000,000 jewels!? That's a pretty high price just to catch some dark guild!"

Erza arrived into the conversation and took the paper from Natsu. "This is a very suspicious request for an awfully high price. Let us accompany you on this journey, Natsu."

"Sure! I'll go pack my bags! Let's meet at the train station in an hour!" Natsu said, and he and happy ran out to get ready.

"Well, someone's excited to go on a mission." Gray stated, watching them run out of the guild.

"You should be too! This is a lot of money we are gonna get! But still, I just can't help but feel a little sketchy about this." Lucy replied.

"Have no fear, we will be there with him," Erza assured. "Now get ready for the train, it might be a long ride."
