Alright this is my first story so it might be iffy. I also whipped it up in like 30 mins so the grammar should be crappy but w/e.

I'm new to this so if you read this leave some pointers or a review or something

Fairy Tail - In Search Of Igneel

CHAPTER 1- A Long Trip

Natsu couldn't believe his ears. "Really" he asked Happy. "Yup someone saw him in the Blackrock Mountains". "YES…wait where are the Blackrock mountains" Natsu asked. "About 20 days away…by train". "EHHHH" Natsu frowned then said cheerfully "we're walking", then with a howl, Natsu started to run around the guild yelling at the top of the lungs, "YAHOOOO". Gray, shirtless as usual, eyed him evilly and when Natsu ran past him he stuck his foot out. Natsu fell flat on his face with a loud BAM. "I'll KILL YOU" Natsu yelled as he launched himself at the ice mage, with blazing fire spewing out from his entire body. "Lets see you tr--" Gray was cut short when a fiery fist slammed into his face. The rest of the guild looked on with amusement.

Lucy walked in and looked upon the scene with a scowl. With a sign she went straight to her favorite spot, plopping down right by Mirajane. "Everyday why can't they be calm for ONE day", Lucy exclaimed. "Well you can't blame Natsu today, we just got some news that Igneel was spotted in the Blackrock mountains". "What" Lucy sounded annoyed, "but we just got a job for 300,000 jewels". Mirajane looked at her "Lucy, you can just go without Natsu". "Yeah but" Lucy started, Mirajane laughed "what you don't want go without Natsu?"

Before Lucy could deny her, Natsu was sent flying by Gray right into Lucy. "Ugh sorry Luce" Natsu coughed. Lucy looked up only to find Natsu's face an inch from hers. Her already pink face turned crimson. Luckily Natsu was up and wrestling with Gray again so he didn't see her blush. Mirajane however, did. "So you do like him" she snorted. "N-n-n-no" Lucy stammered, "We're just friends". "Mmhmm sure", Mirajane's eyes twinkled and she turned away with a knowing look on her face.

"I really don't like him we're just friends, just nakama" Lucy thought to herself.

Finally the fight between Natsu and Gray was starting to wind down, and they decided to call it a draw. "You got lucky this time but next time I won't be so nice" Natsu huffed. "Yeah okay" Gray scoffed, but then got more serious, "so your going after Igneel huh". "Yeah, you guys are gonna have to go without me, I know you will have trouble without your strongest mage buuuuttt you'll haffta make do" Natsu grinned. "Hah you would only slow us down" Gray grinned too. "SO, you're ditching your team Natsu" a threatening voice called out. Natsu gulped and turned around to see an angry Erza. "Errrrrzuh I-I-I-I" Natsu began but Erza frowned "you're not getting any of the money". Natsu sighed in relief. "When are you leaving Natsu" Lucy asked. "Tommorow morning" he exclaimed. "Me and Happy gotta go pack some food, see you later guys". With that Natsu strolled out of the guild with Happy trotting behind.

. . . . .

Lucy sighed, sitting in her bath "Why am I so upset that Natsu isn't going with us". Confused and kinda depressed she rose and wrapped herself in a towel. "I really don't like him" Lucy grumbled, recalling her conversation with Mirajane "he JUST a friend, a nakama, NOTHING more". She pulled on her pajamas and walked to her bed, still grumbling to herself. Upon throwing herself on the mattress, she landed on a warm body snoring under her covers. "N-N-N-N-Na-s-s-suu" she stuttered. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED" she shouted. Natsu just snored on. "Jeez what a heavy sleeper", and she sighed for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day. She felt her eyes droop "NO I cant fall asleep with Natsu", but nevertheless sleep she did.

. . . . .

A new adventure begins. Will Lucy come with Natsu to search for Igneel? Yeah, it's obvious.
