Chapter 1

~Lucy Heartfilia~

Hello! My name is Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia! I'm a Celestial Wizard at the best Wizard guild in Fiore: Fairy Tail! Although I haven't even been here a year, the Guild is already like my second home. The guild is always boisterous and loud, and we're always getting into trouble with the Council. But we're like one big happy family, and nothing can stand in our way. You could say that the way I joined Fairy Tail was interesting...

..."On my way to Magnolia, where the guild is located, I made a stop in the fishing town of Hargeon. There, I paid 19,000 Jewels in order to buy the Key of the Canis Minor, aka Plue. As I stomped around town completely furious, I heard that the legendary Fire Wizard, Salamander, was in town. I had gone to join the huge mob of girls surrounding him, just so I could see him. Instantly, I fell in love. That is, until a certain pink-haired idiot and some flying blue cat came charging in and was nearly killed by all the other girls by insulting the Salamander. But the minute he broke through the crowd, I fell out of my daze and realized that it wasn't love. The Salamander let him off the hook with his autograph and the poor kid just kinda stood there. That was when the Salamander left telling us that he was having a party on his yacht that we were all invited to. I had decided to talk to the pink-haired fellow and to thank him, I brought him and the cat to a small restaurant where I learned that their names were Natsu (The boy) and Happy (the weird flying blue cat). Through dinner, I learned that he came here looking for some guy named Igneel. I also, realized that the stupid creep, Salamander, was using Charm magic to make all of us girls fall in love with him. Lucky for me, I had strong willpower and managed to break free of his spell. Yes, with your help, Natsu, now shush. Anyway, we talked about Igneel who was actually a Dragon!, and the creepo Salamander, I yelled at him about costing so much for lunch, with which he tried to repay me by giving me Salamander's autograph, which I didn't want, yada yada yada. Anyway, after I ran away from Natsu, I had gone to a park and was reading Sorcerer Weekly when the Salamander gave me a personal invitation to his party, which after learning he was a member of the Fairy Tail, I accepted. But, on the ship, I found out that he lied about being in Fairy Tail and his "party" was only a sham so he could capture all the women. He threw all of my Gate Keys into the ocean and left me defenseless. Natsu came to my rescue and after getting used to the rocking boat, totally kicked Salamander and his lackey's asses. Happy tried to fly me to shore but his wings disappeared and dropped me into the ocean where I found my keys. After Aquarius nearly killed me, but still knocked the ship back to port, there was a showdown between Natsu and Salamander. In the end, it turned out that not only was Natsu a Wizard, but he was a member of Fairy Tail, and the Salamander creep was just that, a creep. During the fight, Natsu started eating the Salamander's aka Bora's flames (ewh) and it turned out that he was not only super strong, but a Dragon Slayer, and not just a Dragon Slayer, but he was also the real Salamander! Needless to say, he won by a landslide. After that, the army came for whatever reason, and Natsu grabbed my arm and brought me to Fairy Tail! The End."

As I finish my story, I see Natsu nod vigorously.

"Aye, sir!" Says Happy in the way he always does.

A little girl by my feet pulls on my skirt, "Tell us another story, Lucy!"

The other kids all scream, "YEAHH!" So naturally, I had to, even though I didn't want to.

"Natsu?" I cry feebly, "I think this job is too much for me!"

"Aye, sir!"

"Fine, I'll tell them a story." Natsu says as he clears his throat. All the kids turn towards him, "Alright, who wants to hear a story?!"

"WE DO. WE DO!" The cheer.

As Natsu riles them up, Happy flies over by my shoulder and whispers, "You shouldn't let him tell a story. This will end badly."

I sigh, "At least there's a good reward."

Happy nods in an "intelligent" way.

"...And then, Erza jumped up and BAM!, threw her lance at the moon!" Natsu says as he jumps up.

I rest my cheek in my hand and smile, I remember this. It was back on Galuna Island. Man, that feels like forever ago!

"...And these little sparklies came falling down!" He finished.

"Wait, so did she kill the moon?" a little boy asks, crying.

"Ah-ah. Well. Uhm… No- Stop crying!" He complains.

"You're lying!" The little boy accuses, "Hey, Lady. Is he lying?"

My face flames with anger, "DON'T CALL ME LADY. But no, he's not lying. Come to think of it, I don't think he could lie even if he tried."

The kid puffs his cheeks out and finally nods.

A tall bubbly man with light blue hair appears in the doorway, "Lucy, Natsu, thank you for looking after them."

I stand and smile, "No problem, sir. Now, about our payment…"

"Ah yes, your payment. About that. You see, there's a small problem…"

*Later*

"I can't believe that he only gave us these lousy winged shoes!" I complain while holding my shoe box, "Like, seriously. What would I ever need these for?!"

"Calm down, Lucy. I'm sure you'll find some use for them. As for me," He starts, "I have Happy! I don't need these!"

"Aye, sir!" Happy cries.

With a flick of his wrist, Natsu send the box flying.

"Wait, Natsu! What if someone else needed to use those?" I scold.

For a moment, he deflates like a balloon, then, "Shoes! Wait up, I'm coming for you!"

"Aye, sir!"

Wings appear on the box and it begins to fly away with Natsu right on it's heels.

"Wuaaaahhhhhhhhh!" He shouts as he crashes through the marketplace.

"Natsuu!" I call as I run after him. At each of the market stands, I stop and apologize.

"My, my," A florist comments, "You're boyfriend is quite the handful, isn't he?"

"Well, yeah, he's kinda difficu- Wait a minute! We're not a couple!" I say as I storm after him.

"Dammit. I've lost him!" I mutter.

I sigh and continue down the street in hopes of catching some sign of him.

"Lu-cy!" I hear.

I turn and see Natsu cheerfully marching towards me with with the shoe box in tow, "I did it!"

"Aye, sir!"

I don't return his smile, "You idiot! What the hell is your problem! Don't go running off again!" I say as I hit him.

"I'm sorry, Lucy!" He wails as he hugs my waist.

"Wha- What are you doing?" I squeal as I run away.

"I'm apologizing. Lucy, wait!" He wails again.

"They liiiiiiiiiiiiiike eachother!" I hear Happy snicker.

"HAPPY!" I roar.

*Back at the Guild*

"Lucy! Natsu! Welcome back!" Mirajane calls as we trudge through the door.

"Hey, Mira!" I call back.

"Mrumph hum prff mrf ghurn pufn." Natsu mutters as he collapses onto the floor.

"Uh-oh!" Notices Happy, "Natsu passed out."

"The idiot." Gray says as he stands over Natsu, shirtless as usual,"WHY WON'T HE EVER LEARN HIS LESSON?"

"Gray!" Erza yells as she stands up from a table, her fist shaking, "DID YOU EAT MY CAKE?"

Gray's eyes widen into little moons and he falls to the ground and crawls backwards, "N-n-no. No, Erza. I didn't eat your cake."

"You lying bastard!" She roars as she attacks him.

Natsu suddenly jumps up and says, "A fight! I'm all fired up!" And joins them.

Everyone else returns to their normal daily routines as if this were a normal thing, which it was.

"Hey Lucy, come over here a minute!" Mirajane says from behind the bar.

"What's up?" I ask as I sit down.

An innocent look flashes across her face, "You and Natsu are really cute together, you know? I think that you two are going to end up like Alzack and Bisca one day!"

My terror grows as I picture Alzack and Bisca with Asuka, and suddenly, it's me and Natsu and-, "MIRA." I shout.

Evergreen coyly slides next to me, "You know, I think she's ri-ight."

Mira stops to think for a moment, "You know, Ever, you and Elfman are really cute, too! But you better not hurt my little brother." She adds darkly.

Evergreen's eyes widen and she skitters away.

"As I was saying Lucy…" She starts.

I put my hands up in front of me and shake them, "How bout we chat some other time? Gottagobye!"

*At Lucy's house*

"What's with Mira?" I wonder aloud, "This is the second time she's brought that up."

"Second time she's brought what up?" Natsu's voice calls from my room.

I walk in robotically, "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! And get out!"

"You know, when Mira bring something up, she's usually just playing, but if she brings it up anymore than twice, you know she's serious!" He calls as he jumps out the window.

"You could at least use the door!" I shout after him. I sigh, then remember, "Where's Happy? Where there's a Natsu, there's a Happy. And there was a Happy-less Natsu here just a moment ago."

I pause and search every nook and cranny in my room, "Well, I guess he's not here!" I conclude as I strip down in preparation for my bath.

"He liiiiiiiiiiiiiikes you." Is all I hear as I see a blue tail whisk out the window.

"HAPPY!"
