Hi I have a new fairy tail story here! YAY XD

this has been on my IPOD for ages so I decided to type it up and I hope you guys like it as much as I enjoyed writhing it! there will be other chapters but they will be up at a later date, when I have written more of the story in total.

PLEASE PLEASE LEAVE A REVIEW I LOVE HEARING ABOUT WHAT YOU GUYS LIKED AND DIDN'T LIKE SO I CAN BE A BETTER WRITER.

only thing left it to say is that when the wirtng goes like this it's a memory or letter.

Natsu walked passed her house on his way to the guild. Strawberry Street wasn't directly on his way to the guild but neither was it too far out of the way; so he would take this route, because she was away on a solo mission and he liked catching her scent as he walked passed her apartment. He stopped in his tracks and started up at her window. Only a week had passed, he had no idea how he was going to get through the next two; already he had taken measures to walk past her apartment so he could catch her scent on the wind, what would he be driven to do within the next couple of weeks?

Normally they would all go on a job together, but Mira said that it had been something to do with her mother, so he had backed down and stayed at the guild when every fibre of his body screamed to go after her.

"Mira!" Natsu yelled jogging over to the bar, "Where's Lucy?"

The white haired mage turned and looked at him leaning against the bar.

"She went on a job," she said and quickly added as Natsu began to turn and follow Lucy's scent. "It has to do with her mother, so I think it's best that she does this one alone. Also it will be good for her to do some solo jobs every now and then, don't you think?" she smiled as Natsu reluctantly sat down at the bar with his head rested against the wood.

Happy landed on Natsu's shoulder. "I miss her Natsu," he said with a sigh.

"Yeah me too," Natsu said petting his blue friend on the head gently. The first had gone so agonisingly slow Natsu and Happy really had no idea how they were going to get through the rest. They both missed her keenly and Happy had found Natsu to be less lively without their blonde friend there. Natsu stuffed his hand into his pocket, rummaging around until found what he was looking for and fished it out. It was a small, silver key-ring the shape of a dragon. Lucy had made it for him on the anniversary of him bringing her to the guild. She gave him presents on that day because she didn't know when his birthday was. Despite how Lucy might come over to most people she was good at making things with silver.

When he had asked her where she had learned to meld silver, she had said. "I had to find something to do when I was young," and smiled at him. She used to make keys to play with and pretend that they were her mother's gate keys.

Natsu looked closely at the small dragon in his hand, it was very well made and the detail was amazing.

Happy looked at the key-ring. "It looks a lot like Igneel," he said. Natsu gazed at it closely and saw that he was right. It was a mini replica of the fire dragon. A happy and sad smile spread over Natsu's lips. Not only had Lucy given him something special, she had given him something beautiful. It showed how deeply she cared for him and that she was there if he ever needed anything. This only made him miss her all the more.

Lucy looked down at the black gatekey in her hands. Her mother had left it to her for when she turned twenty one; seeing as that had technically happened five years ago, what with Tenroujima Island and all.

A letter had been left with the key.

Only use this key when the time is most desperate,

My dear Lucy this is only to be used as a last resort.

Love Mom.

Curling her fingers around the black gatekey she looked out of the window of the train and watched as the landscape whizzed past, only the far away mountains followed the path of the train.

Something about the way the key looked worried her to no end; it was black with gold flecks, and had a dragon's head fashioned into the top, with the tail winding down to make a pointed arrow tip at the base. One thing that Lucy knew instinctively was that she had to keep this key a secret. Her mother had said some other things in her letter but Lucy had left them to dwell on at a later date, when she was home and rested. The train jolted and Lucy gripped the key in her hand, figuring that simply putting it in her pocket was a no go; she resolved to buy a chain for it in the next town.
