Info corner:

So before I start, I wanted to introduce myself. Im Black0Tiger, but you can call me Tiger instead. Im not that good at writing (but Im very talented in drawing) [Manga-ka you could say] But before I knew it I landed here, and thought why not try to write an fanfic. So yeah, that's how I ended up here. Since Fairy Tail is one of my favorite Anime/Manga, I decided to write a short story about them. (Of course Im not missing out on the pairings either)

I also started to draw my own Manga (Still not published [yet] T^T) and Im still working on it. I will try to update twice a week depends on how busy I am. Since I have a load of work to do at home (Oh precious home). But I will try my best to update as fast as I can. Oh, before I completely forget to mention it; at the moment this story is rated T, but it is possible that after a time that I will rated M, since it seems harmless at the beginning now, but after a time it'll get harsher.

So yeah, beware.

Chapter 1

Open the gate of the Lion; Leo

The blonde mage was confused. Confused about Loke's key. Team Natsu went on a mission two days ago and of course she called one of her precious and smartest celestial spirit; Leo the Lion. But as soon as she spoke her summon words, Vigro appeared instead. The blonde mage, of course, asked why she stepped through his gate. Her explanation wasn't really much of a help, so she poofed away leaving an smoke cloud behind.

She sighed behind her sad confused smile. She wasn't angry at Loke, she just wanted to know what's wrong. But knowing that he wouldn't appear, she didn't even bother to try to summon him. At the moment she was sitting at a bench with her team. She placed her arms on the table and rested her head on them, still being in deep thoughts about the loin.

Natsu, who is being as loud as ever, noticed that his blonde nakama being quiet instead. He warpped one of his strong build arms around her shoulder; making her flush immediately. He never bothered to think of that, what he is doing right now, is something called flirting with her.

"Ne Lucy. Why are you so weird?" he asked in a teasing voice and of course while grinning too. His flushing nakama sighed and raised her head from her arms.

"Do you remember when I called Loke and Vigro appeared instead?" she asked knowing of course that he had forgotten already, since it wasn't that important to him what kind of celestial spirits she is keep calling.

"No...you called Loke?" he asked and scratched his head clueless. She should of known that he wouldn't remember. She wanted to answer his question when she noticed that the pinkette was already out of sight.

If she didn't know better, then she was clearly sure about the fact that Natsu defiantly once fell on his head when he was a kid. She shook her head, she must concentrate on Loke who isn't stepping through his gate anymore. She is indeed worried.

A certain blue cat with wings flew tired on top of her head, letting an slight groan escape his mouth.

"What's wrong Happy?" she asked worried and reached out for her blue, sometimes annoying, friend. She sat him on the table, scanning him first. He seems to be exhausted from something.

"A-Aye..." he agreed tired. Lucy took it very serious, she was ready to help him out in any point. She nodded to agree with herself. But snapped out of it very quickly when she noticed that Happy was staring at her.

"Oh...Happy, tell me what's wrong." she offered kindly, trying not to think about her 'problems'. Happy sighed sad.

"Charle...doesn't want to accept my fish..." he explained with an slight teary sound. Lucy somehow needed to smile, he sure was in love with Wendy's Exceed. But Lucy was sure that those two must of gotten closer, in a friendship way, after the incident in Edolas; the parallel universe of Earthland.

"How about giving her something she likes instead!" the blonde suggested as kindly as she could. The blue cat with wings needed to re-think of what the weirdo in front of him just said. But sooner or later he went crying to the dragon slayer, yelling teary something about 'Lucy is being mean!'.

Lucy wasn't sure about getting mad at him for calling her 'mean' or just let it go and sigh in frustration. So she decided to take the second choice; sigh in frustration. What else could she do about it, that a talking blue cat is calling her mean, when she actually just wanted to help him in his love life. But that didn't go so well as she expected either.

She took out her golden and silver keys and picked out the lions key. 'All right, let's try it once more, shall we Loke?' she mumbled annoyed and started to summon.

"Open the gate of the lion; leo!" she called out. But as soon as she has spoken, a pink smoke cloud mixed with wool appeared. She was sure to expect Vigro for once more, but instead of her; Aries was standing there.

"Oh look! Lucy summoned Aries!" Droy announced with an full mouth of food. Some of them agreed or some of them had nose bleed. Lucy really tried to ignore those idiots that she calls nakamas and tried to focus on that, that Aries is standing in front of her.

"Im sorry!" Aries squeaked and bowed in front of her master. Sometimes Lucy was annoyed that Aries was keep apologizing every time she summons her, but of course she knows about her horrible past. The blonde mage decided to ignore it.

"It's okay... why are you here? Where is Loke?" she asked confused.

"Loke-nii said that me or Vigro should pass his gate instead! Im sorry!" she continued to squeak.

"Why?" Indeed. Lucy wants to know the reason that Loke is avoiding or ignoring her calls.

"Loke-nii said: " That pink bastard is going to take away my future wife!"" she cited and tried to talk in the same way as Loke. "Im so sorry!" she blubbered.

'Pink bastard'? the blonde asked herself. Who might that be? She shook her head, that wasn't the answer that she expected nor that she will accept it as an explanation either. Well the sound of it how Aries tried to imitate him, sounded pretty depressed and angry at the same time. Lucy started to sweat drop, how can she help him when he refuses to pass his gate.

"Well thank you Aries, you can leave now!" she said friendly and smiled at her. She nodded shyly and poofed away, leaving an pink smoke cloud mixed with wool behind.

That information didn't help at all. The question that remained was: 'Who is the pink bastard?' And to be clear; she is defiantly not going to be Lokes future wife. That thought made her shiver all over again. If her own celestial spirit aren't going to help, then her only choice that is left is to ask Natsu the salamander. Even though she was sure that he has no idea of celestial spirits, she was sure he will be willing to help her out anyway. Since he saved or helped her many of times, most of the time by destroying things.

She slow walked over to him still thinking about it if it's a great idea of asking him for help. But as soon as he noticed her, it was to late for turning back now.

"Hey Lucy! Mind going on mission with us?" he asked cheerful. She wasn't sure to accept and just drop the fact that she wanted to ask him for help or that she wanted him to listen to her. But everybody knows that he isn't the best if it comes to listening to other people when he has something better and funner in mind.

"Lucy?" he re-asked since the blond mage was lost in her thoughts and wasn't responding his offer.

"Oh...No...I wanted to ask you if you could help me with something..."

At first he wanted to change her mind about the 'helping thing' since he wasn't ready to do work were you are not allowed to destroy things. But by the look on her face, he had this feeling that it was urgent, so he decided to take his mission later on.

"Okay!" he grinned. That reaction was surprising, Lucy didn't expect that from her dragon slayer. "So what is about?"

For some reason she felt heat rising up to her cheeks, maybe she was blushing. Of course she was blushing, who wouldn't blush when some one is smiling at you this cute. She struggled at first.

"I can't summon Loke anymore!"

He acted like he understood her situation that she was in and agreed with her with an slight nod. But if she can't summon Loke than how on earthland would he be able to summon him. But he promised her to help her, so he is willing to do so. But he wasn't quiet sure why she needed help from him. I mean Levy could help her out more then him.

"What should I do?" He asked confused. Her mouth shaped into an 'o'. She didn't thought about the yet. She started to shrug her shoulders unsure.

"I don't know..." she said thoughtful. He raised an eyebrow, he clearly has no Idea how woman work. "Just help me already!" she commanded with an slight taint of red on her cheeks and grabbed his wrist and ran outside the guild with him.

After she knew that they would be alone she finally took a deep breath and leaned her back on the wall. Natsu was still confused by her actions lately and decided to keep quiet instead.

She looked around once more, just to make sure that they would be really alone. She leaned forwards and started to whisper. He closely listened or tried to.

"So, every time you're trying to summon Loke, Aries or this maid appears instead?" he re-explained to himself. She nodded serious. "And how come I would be able to help you out?" he also re-asked this question once more. Lucy didn't really know why she dragged him outside. Maybe because she doesn't any rumors about her and Natsu being a couple, since that won't happen either.

"He said something about 'pink bastard' so it has to do something with you!" she explained in an strict voice. He immediately grunted.

"So you're thinking Im a bastard..." it wasn't like he was asking her. There was a couple of seconds till she realized of what she just have said.

"NO!" she waved her hands in front of her. "Im just saying that Loke is maybe jealous of you!"

"Jealous? Why would he be jealous of me?" he asked confused. She also shrugged her shoulders.

"I don't know! That's why I asked you, I guess. That's what we're going to find out!" She said full of enthusiasm. She started to walk back inside the guild when she suddenly heard him say:

"Im all fired up!" he smirked, but soon vanished when he realized that he wasn't going to destroy anything. "I guess Im a little fired up..." he mumbled sad and followed her back into the guild, still having no Idea how he is able to help her or why Loke is all of the sudden jealous of him.

End of Chapter 1

Info corner (a:

I started to grow feelings for the pairing LoxLu (even though I also like how Hiro made so many sweet NaxLu moments) Im actually still thinking if I should write an LoxLu or NaxLu story. That's why I also decided to let you guys (or readers) choose what's the best. So Im kindly asking: NaxLu or LoxLu?

I know that at this (My first chapter) is a bit short, since I can't really put my ideas into words, so I must think. I live Japan (That means that I also talk in japanese) and sometimes I get confused in some points, so if the story has some moments were you hardly understand it or have difficulties then I will spend some of my free time to correct it. So: [Sorry in advance]

Anyway, thank you for reading my story so far and I would be over joyed to write more. Since it's just very relaxing, isn't it Happy?

=^._.^= Aye Sir!

Well see you in next chapter!
