Hi! This is UsagiNeko! I was born as a rabbit so I chose Usagi and I love Happy from Fairy Tail, so I decided neko. That's how I got my name! That was just a little back story about my username. Now for to story I'm going to be writing...

Lucy and Natsu met as children when Lucy ran away from home and got lost. Natsu was the one who found her wandering around in the forest Igneel and he were making a home of. Natsu ended up taking Lucy with him to Igneel seeing as she was scared to be alone.

Now, embark on this journey with me will you? I'll be glad to have feedbacks, but if it's just hate or something that will make me hurt, please don't review. This is my first story so bear with me! I'm scared that I'm going to stop writing this and end up leaving you clueless as to how the story ends, but I'll try to not let that happen.

The Result of Getting Lost

Lucy POV

"Papa! Look at what I made. It took a long time, but I think Mama would've liked it. Can you go with me to give it to her?" He winced at the sound of me talking about Mama... I only wanted to visit her together so Mama wouldn't be lonely...

"Lucy! Please, just get out of my sight! Your mom isn't here anymore! Don't make it seem like she's alive and well when she's not! She's in a dark place, with dirt all around her... And it's all your fault!" He yelled at me so angrily, I cried. "Oh, you're going to cry now? You're so weak, leave now!" All I could do was run off to Mama with tears pouring down my skin. As I reached her, I dropped down and hugged only a hard, cold stone. I wanted to feel her warmth, but it was just cold.

"Mama, Papa is mad at me... He said it's all my fault. I'm so sorry, Mama!" Tears continued down my eyes until I managed to calm myself down to sobs. "Look, I drew a picture of you, Papa, Imitatia, and me... We're all happy and smiling, and look, I'm wearing the pink dress you bought me." I smiled brightly knowing she was watching from a far.

"Poor ojou sama... I think she's finally gone bonkers," I heard one of the maid say with the other maid agreeing. Now, I just really want to run away... Papa isn't treating me the same anymore and the maids in this house are talking about me. "I want Spetto San! Wahhhhh!" But of course, I couldn't. Papa said she won't be back for a couple of weeks because her grandchild was ill.

The two maids ran towards me hearing me shout, "what's wrong ojou? Are you hurt?"

"No! I just want Spetto San! I want Mama, but she's not here... So I want Spetto San! Get me Spetto San!"

"But ojou, Spetto San is off right now. You'll have to wait for her return."

"Then I'll go look for her!" I stormed out of my house and just ran. I could hear the maids chasing after, but I couldn't just stay there when it was so hard to breathe, so I ran and ran. I ran into a forest to hide so they wouldn't find me. I kept going further and further into the woods until I couldn't hear any more footsteps chasing after me. I sighed in relief... But realized I was lost. I look from left to right, this time I really wanted to see the maids because I was all alone now. As I searched unsuccessfully, I stumbled on a log and ended up rolling downhill. I felt myself hit into many things and then I stopped rolling. I only open my eyes to see they I couldn't move and was bleeding all over my body.

"Help... Is anybody out there? Help... I'm scared... I don't want to be alone..." My voice was hoarse and I started losing consciousness because of the impact on my head while rolling. The last thing I saw was a flash of pink, or salmon precisely.

I wake up to see the shining stars. I was left where I was when I fell, but I felt like my wounds stopped bleeding and were treated, not to mention something warm, so I got up. I looked around for something salmon to see if what I saw was real, and oddly enough, it was real. There was a boy around my age sitting beside me with salmon hair and onyx eyes. He grinned at me and said, "Looks like you're up now. Are you feeling better?" I nodded shyly and asked, "Who are you? Did you patch me up? Why are you here?" He laughed, "You're so weird! I'm Natsu, who are you? I did try helping you, but it's not all that. I just ripped some clothing from my shirt and wrapped your bleeding wounds. I'm here because I was looking for food, then I found you calling for help, so ta da! Here I am!" I felt safer now that I knew he was the one who helped me, but why would I be suspicious anyways? He's a kid like me. "I'm Lucy, thanks for helping me with my wounds," I smiled at him. He smiled back, "but why are you in this place anyways? No kid should be here. It could be dangerous," he questioned. I was confused, isn't he a kid too? Why's he acting like he's not a kid? So I asked him. "Oh, me? I'm a dragon! So I'm not scared of this place! I live here, actually!" I was shocked, "what!? You're a dragon? You don't look like one. Boy, he's been out here too long. And who would live here anyways?"

He didn't answer my question but instead asked me the same question he asked before, "why are you in this place?" I let my bangs cover my face and tried to hold the tears in but failed. I cried while telling him my story of how Mama, Papa, and I went on a trip, but Mama suddenly fell ill and we had to return. Soon, she had stopped breathing and her body disappeared into glowing matters. Then, time just stopped, or at least it felt that way. I told him how every one pitied me and how Papa stopped loving me. When I finished as to how I got here, he sobbed with me as well. "I had no idea humans had such a hard life," he said while wiping his tears with his arm. His tears were no longer there and he smiled "Dragons don't cry, so you never saw anything, okay?" I just nodded to him.

Suddenly, he got up and started walking away, "Well, I gotta head back before Igneel complains to me. See you later!" I was scared to be alone so I latched onto his leg making him tumble down. I exclaimed, "Don't leave me here alone! I have no where to go! Take me with you, please! Just don't leave me here alone!" He was mad that I made him fall and tried to break free from my grip, but I pleaded and pleaded while gripping him tighter, so he agreed, "Fine, I'll take you with me, but be as quiet as possible. If Igneel finds out about you, I'm dead!" I nodded silently while motioning to him that I'll be real quiet. He got up and lent me a hand as I gladly took it. We walked far, or maybe I thought it was because I wasn't used to walking do much. We stopped in a large, green grass area and he hid me behind a tree telling me to stay there. I stayed there for a while, but got scared so I ran out after him. I didn't notice it before, but there was a dragon sleeping next to Natsu. I screamed and grabbed Natsu away from the dragon, which awakened the huge thing. Natsu covered my mouth realizing what is done and hid me behind him.

"What was that, Natsu?! It sounded like a girl!"

"What? You're crazy, you mustve been dreaming, Igneel..." He said while rubbing the back of his hid. Soon, the dragon started smelling around Natsu and came face to face with me. I shrieked and hid my face behind Natsu again.

"Son, why is there a girl here? Why is this kid here? "

"I it's just that she didn't want to be alone in the forest so I brought her here... She wasn't having an easy life so she ran into the forest getting lost and hurting herself... Please, let her stay! I'll finally have a friend to fight with!" Natsu explained.

"Son, we can't just take her, her parents might be looking for her. She had a family. She could be leading hunters here for all we know," the dragon claimed.

"But Igneel, her mom is gone, and her dad doesn't love her. That's all the family she has. Just please let her stay."

The dragon took a long time thinking and finally spoke, "Fine, but only if she wants to."

Natsu and the dragon both looked towards me and I was scared to answer. There was a dragon! A real dragon! What do I say? Mama, should I stay? Soon, I came to the brave decision to stay.

"Welcome to the family. I'm Igneel, what's your name?" The dragon asked. Before I could answer, Natsu spoke up, "Her name's Luigi." I hit his head correcting him, "It's Lucy!" Igneel laughed at us. I looked at hid big white fangs and laughed along knowing now that he was the Igneel Natsu was talking about. Igneel didn't look that dangerous now that I think about it too. I think this is the start of a new journey.

So... Keep in mind, they are kids right now. Probably around 4. I hope the story was alright. I'll update tomorrow maybe. There may be a lot, and I mean A LOT of errors because I'm typing this on an ipod.
