Hey! This is my first time writing anything! Sorry if it sucks. Just an idea I am turning into a very short oneshot. If anyone wants to use it, help yourself, just contact me first!

Starts after the Tenroujima Arc, but before the training trip for the Magical games.

"Lightning Flame Dragon Mode!" Natsu roared.

As his body was covered in flames and lightning, he could feel his magical energy rapidly draining, but he could also feel the incredible power it gave him. 'It's no good, this form takes way too much out of me to sustain. I need this power to keep my friends safe! I need to be able to use this as freely as I do my normal flame!'

Suddenly the flames died down, and Natsu fell to his knees, exhausted.

"21 seconds!" shouted Happy from the sidelines, holding a stopwatch in his paw.

"I don't get it!? Why does it take this much out of me?" demanded Natsu.

"Maybe it's because you don't understand lightning enough." answered Lucy while giving Natsu a towel to wipe off the sweat.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the problem has to come from the powers you used, either the flames or the lightning, and I highly doubt the flames are the problem. So the only thing I can think of is that your body uses so much magical energy to produce the lightning, that it drains you rapidly..." answered Lucy.

"What have you done with Lucy! She's not that smart!" cried Happy from over her shoulder.

"Baka neko! I did grow up with magical tutors, this much isn't that hard."

"Whoa! Even Lucy has her moments!" a suddenly energetic Natsu exclaimed.

"I don't want to hear that from you!"

"More importantly-" "Oi!" "-is how I can fix this. Lucy! You got lucky once today, any ideas?"

"If you're going to say it like that, you can figure it out on your own!" shouted an offended Lucy.

"C'mon Lucy, don't be like that! You gotta tell me! Please!" begged Natsu with tears in his eyes.

"Well... I might be convinced to tell you, if you agree to pay my rent this month!" commented Luce slyly.

"I don't have that much! I'll give you half!" countered Natsu.

"Deal!" exclaimed Luce while holding out her hand to Natsu.

"Deal!" replied Natsu as he shook her hand, grinning like a maniac.

"So? What do I have to do to use lightning?" asked Natsu.

"Go speak to Laxus." dead-panned Lucy.

"Whaaaaat? That's it!?" shouted an indignant Natsu.

"Of course, baka. Where did you get your lightning in the first place? Who better to ask than Laxus, who is a Lightning Dragon Slayer? Who knows. He might even have to fight you to teach you."offered Lucy

'Knowing Natsu, that's the only way to get something into his thick skull'

Suddenly excited at the prospect, Natsu grinned while clenching his fists.

"Yosh! I am getting fired up! Let's go, Happy!"

"Aye!"


There you go, let me know what you think.

Ice out.
