Natsu's Parallel Crush

by giraffesplaycello

Natsu got a job... In a parallel universe. In this universe, there is no magic, so Natsu needs to fight the monsters (living magic) in a small town Magnolia. He goes to school and meets Lucy Heartfilia, who doesn't know that she is best friends with him in another universe. He has to suffer through high school, but can he deny that he might be falling for Lucy?

1. Prologue

"Argh! You'll pay for that one, Ice Princess! I'm all fired up now!" Natsu yelled. Gray smirked.

"You think so, Flame Queen?" Gray retorted. "Ice Make: Floor!" Natsu yelled and was about to jump on Gray with a flaming fist before something hard hit him. He looked up to see it was the master.

"Natsu!" He barked. "My office. Now." Natsu scrambled to get up, struggling on the icy floor. He ran to the Master's office to get away from the sounds of people calling that he was in trouble. He wasn't, right? He didn't do anything.

"Natsu," the master spoke once both of them were in the small room that was his office, "I need you to do a quest."

Natsu took a seat. "Okay, Gramps. What do you want done? I'm sure me 'n Lucy can handle it."

"No," the master sighed. "Lucy won't be going on this quest. It's a solo one- just for you. Let me explain." Natsu waited.

"There are things called parallel universes. One of these is Edolas, and we are the parallel universe of another universe. Parallel universes are where something is different- it could be anything, really, since there are so many. There could be one where you just ate a different piece of candy, another where you joined another guild, another where we're all animals," the master explained.

"There is mostly everyone there, all your friends, but they can be different."

"Master, why are you telling me this?" Natsu asked with a concerned frown.

"I'm telling you this, Natsu, because you will be visiting one." Natsu gasped.

"Alone?"

"Yes. You will be visiting a planet called Earth and a town named Magnolia. It is much the same, except there is no magic. When you are there you will be able to use it, but no one else will because they do not have the ability. You will go to school everyday at seven o'clock…"

Master explained everything in the world and handed Natsu a written copy in case he forgot.

"Don't forget Natsu, I have made yourself in the parallel universe never exist, with help from the council, of course, but-"

"You mean I never existed in that universe?"

"Yes."

"Okay, Master but why do I need to go? I'm leaving now?"

"You need to fight off the monsters that are leaking from this world into the town. Also, now is the prime time to go."

"Why?"

"Because… School starts in a week."

I know, I know. Rushed, right? Sorry. However, this is only the prologue. Pretty pretty please review?
