Ok, so I'm starting to write again, via tablet, since my computer had a heart attack, but TAA-DAAN~ this is a story I've been wanting to write for awhile now, but never got around to it :/

Anyway, enjoy :3

Hi. My name is Lucy Heartfilia. And you probably wouldn't guess, what with the torn dress, and soot on my face, not to mention my hair was a MESS, yeah, I'm the princess of Fiore.

Why was my appearance less than satisfatory right now? Well, that was because my stupid father was in debt by 7,000,000 because he charged extra for taxes, and used it to line his pockets!

Hip hip hooray dad. You fucked up.

Now, for some unknown reason, thugs were after me, probably to auction me off for a sex slave or something like that...

I had long since abandoned my high heels, so my feet were aching like crazy. But then I felt someone, or something, grab my arm, and pull me down a dark alley.

"H-Hey! Wh-What are you doing?!" I yelled, while thrashing about, thinking it was an enemy

"SHUSH UP, MORON" The guy snapped "unless you WANT them to get you?" He griped. My eyes widened, he was HELPING me? But I couldn't very well see his face, all I saw was the back of his black shirt, and a tan muscular arm gripping my wrist tightly.

"Y-you're helping me...?" I stumbled over my words, still trying to regain my breathing

"If I was a bad guy, I would've groped you by now"

I veinpopped at the crude comment. I could hear the eye-roll in that statement!

We came to a stop once we hit a dead end, and I looked at the rather intimidating stone wall that blocked further entrance.

"Well... now what, genius?" I grumbled

"Now the enemy shows up" he sounded way too happy as he said that...

He turned, revealing his full appearance. He was very much tan, and very fit, and lean, with dark obsidian eyes. He also had strange pink and spikey hair, which also oddly looked good on him.

His outfit was a one-sleeved shirt, with a open collar, and tucked in, but also unzipped, so you could still see teases of his chest. He wore some kind of waist-cape thing, held in place by a belt, and loose, white, trousers, and black boots going up to just below his knees.

I held my breath for a second, as I soaked it all in...

"You have pink hair?"

"IT'S SALMON, DAMNIT!" He snapped back, growling like some kind of wild animal

"There she is!" I heard the thugs yell as they marched over to us

"Oh no! We need to get out of here!" I yelled looking around for a possible escape

The guy pushed me aside, stepping foreword as his hands lit up in fire (what?) As something no less of a devilish-smug grin spread across his features

"Who's ready to die?~"

Natsu POV

The clueless bastards approached me, like they had what it takes to beat me? Ha! I beg to differ!

The fire on my fists grew, and spread to my elbowsas I dashed toward the rapidly growing crowd

"Karyuu no: YOKUGEKI!" I cried out, my arms raised, poised to strike. Blowing over half of them away, and I smirked at my victory.

"Who want's some?!" I challenged, I could feel the blood roaring in my ears, as the excitement of a fight, and winning, made it hard for me to stand still.

"Karyuu no: HOUKO!" With that, I blew up the street corner, and the brick wall of a dead end, and all of the morons were passed out, or on fire, or both.

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!" The blondie yelled, while attacking my head

"Ow! Is that how you thank someone who just saved your sorry ass?!" I snapped at her, making her finally get off me.

"Who are you anyway?" She huffed, avoiding eye contact

"Natsu. Natsu Dragneel. Fairy Tail's Salamander"

Lucy POV

Salamander?

THE Salamander?

"No... Way..." I gaped, causing him to Laugh "I-Impossible..."

"Oh, completely possible~" he smirked, raising a brow at me "hard to believe?~" he questioned

Oh, he is WAY too cocky...

I frowned at him, trying to show my distaste in his attitude, but this seemed to encourage him more. Great.

"Well, I'm sorry if I didn't fit her majesty's description, but you're stuck with me." He scoffed, while sticking two fingers in his mouth, whistling loudly. But who the heck was he calling for?

"Natsu!~" A high-pitched voice called out.

I looked to the source of the noise, to see... a flying blue neko?

"Happy, there you are! Can you carry her until I make sure there are no more crooks?"

"Aye sir~!" The cat responded, while wrapping is tail around my thin waist, before picking me up, and flying off.

"H-Hey! Put me down!" I yelled at it

"Wouldn't that hurt?"

"Damnit..."

Why did he have to be right...? I sighed my defeat, and I searched below, as Natsu hopped from the rooftops, fighting off anybody who got in his way.

We eventually made it to the edge of town, where Happy then set me down, or dropped me, next to Natsu. "Ok, wise guy, now where do we go?" I grumbled as I wiped dirt off my already tarnished dress.

"We go to Fairy Tail, of course" He answered simply. I felt guilty leaving Levy-chan behind, but I guess this was my best bet... besides, I always wanted an exciting life, so maybe this was my Karma, yelling at me "WELL HERE YA GO THEN"

I nodded, and looked at the horizon ahead

"Lead the way"
