Hi guys! I'm back with my first (on here) Fairy Tail Fanfic! YAY!

NATSU POV

"Hey, have you guys seen Lucy?" I ask when I open the doors to my favorite guild, my guild.

Everyone turns to look at me. None of them say anything. They probably didn't even hear what I said. After a second they turn back to what they had been doing before. I guess they hadn't heard me or maybe they hadn't seen the blonde I was searching for. I walk over to Erza and Gray where they are looking at the request in the back of the room.

"You guys haven't seen Lucy?" I ask again. They shake their heads.

"I haven't seen her since our mission yesterday. Maybe I can help you with whatever it is you need instead Natsu?" Erza asks.

"N-no, that's ok. I just… never mind." I say as I turn around. I start heading to the door when Gray grabs my shoulder.

"Do-do you like her Natsu? Are you in loooovvvvveeee?" Gray asks loudly. Everyone stares in our direction, "That's why you want to see her right?"

I'm pretty sure my face turned as red as a tomato. "N-n-no." I stutter. "Sh-she borrowed something from me and I-I need it back. Yeah that's right, I need it back." I'm so proud of myself for coming up with that at the last minute. But the truth is, Lucy is my best friend… maybe more then that. I just wanted to see her. I'm happy when I'm around her.

"Yeah okay! See you later lover boy!" Gray calls out before I can close the door behind me. I walk quickly towards Lucy's house. Happy flies above me.

"Is it true Natsu? Do you love Lucy?" Happy pries.

"Wh-what? Why would you th-think that?" I ask nervously.

"You do love her don't you?" Happy says with a smile.

I sigh, "I don't know. Maybe."

"Good."

"What? Why is it good?"

"Lucy's good. She likes you too. You better treat her nice." Happy stops in the air and looks at me with his paws on his hips.

"What's that look for? I would never hurt Lucy! You out of all people should know that!" I say after I turn back to look at him.

Happy sighs and nods his head before flying again. "Aye."

It doesn't take long to get to the familiar house of the spunky girl, which I came looking for. I jump up to the window, which I open and slide in through. Happy follows closely behind. I am expecting the sound of Lucy's voice yelling at me about how I need to knock and use the door before coming inside of her house. But I'm met with nothing. I look around and see… nothing. Well that's not exactly true. I see the bed, which came with the house along with the dinning table, desk, and a few other pieces of big furniture. But all of her things are missing. Her novel papers aren't spread out on her desk. The rug on her floor is gone. Her pillow isn't on the bed.

"Happy? Where did Lucy go?" I ask hesitantly.

"I dunno." Happy replies.

I walk over to her desk and see a small envelop. I pick it up and see 'FairyTail' written on the front. I open it up and look inside. I pull out the crisp piece of paper, which has Lucy's neat handwriting on it. I read it slowly then read it again and again. My heart drops and so does the paper. Happy flies down to pick it up.

"What is it Natsu?" Happy asks. He holds the paper in his hand. He hasn't read it yet.

"L-lu-lucy… she… she." I can't say it. There's no way. "We have to get to the others." I finally say as I jump out the window. Happy follows me with the note in his hand.

We get to Fairy Tail faster then we got to Lucy's. I run through the front doors and in to the bar area. Happy is panting but was able to keep up. Everyone turns to look at us.

"Natsu, is something wrong?" Mira asks.

I nod my head. I'm bent over with my hands on my knees while I catch my breath. "Read it. Read it out loud." I say before pointing at Happy.

Happy hands the note over to Mira who walks over to the bar and stands up on one of the stools.

"This letter is addressed to all of FairyTail. It says,

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry I couldn't see you again before I left. But this is something I have to do. I never wanted to leave you guys. I've never had more fun anywhere in my life. Thanks for the great memories. But I'm going to have to leave Fairy Tail and head back to my hometown. I miss you guys already.

Signed with love,

Lucy"

Everyone in the room gasps and a few of the people in the room start crying. I sink down into a chair and feel my eyes start to water. I can't let myself cry here. What would everyone think? But then I heard the familiar sound of Erza. I look up and I can see Erza standing in the corner with Jellal and Gray. She has tears running down her face. So does Gray. They are both sobbing. I can't hold back my own tears now that I've seen the rest of my team cry. Happy and I are soon crying too.

"We have to go after her!" Erza yells with tears still rolling down her face.

"YEAH!" A few others in the room agree.

Everyone looks up when they hear Gramps clear his voice. "She has made her decision. If Lucy felt the need to leave then she is aloud to do so. That being said, I will not stop anyone who wishes to go find her. She is your friend and I understand if you would like to go see her. But do not force her to come back to Fairy Tail. If she desires to come back then she is welcome too."

Everyone is quiet after Gramps stops talking. But it doesn't take long for people to start talking about when they are going to go see Lucy. I get up while wiping my tears away. I walk over to Erza, Gray, and Jellal. "I'm going to find her today." I state.

"We are coming with you." Erza says.

"Yeah, Lucy is our friend too Fire Brain!" Gray says proudly.

I give Gray an evil eye then realize that we need to leave to get Lucy right away. "Come on. Come on. Come on!" I yell as I drag the 3 of them towards the door.

"Not so fast Natsu!" Levy calls from across the room.

"What? We have to go get Lucy!" I yell. I'm really irritated that they would slow me down on my quest to bring home my best friend!

"We're coming with you!" Cana says stubbornly.

"Yeah, Lucy is my friend too you know!" Levy says with a puff.

"Where ever Gray goes Juvia goes."

"It is MAN to find your friends!"

"Yes it is "man" big brother!"

"I'll go too."

Everyone looks at Gajeel. Nobody knew he was close with Lucy. "Am I not aloud to go?" He basically dared someone to stop him. Everyone turned towards the door again including me. Normally I would've picked a fight with him, but right now I wasn't in the mood.

We all get to Lucy's town later that night. Everyone is really cranky. Apparently I was complaining too much on the train! We all decide to stay at a small hotel in the center of the city. Gajeel, Gray, Elfman, Happy, Jellal, and I all share one room while the girls, Levy, Cana, Mira, Erza and Juvia get a different one. We try to sleep that night. But I know that none of us do. I can hear Gray huff as he rolls over, Jellal's breathing is loud, and Gajeel is mumbling about how loud everyone is. I sigh and look at Happy who is on the bottom of my bed. I think he is the only one who was able to fall asleep. But it must not be a very good one because he is whimpering and flailing around. I close my eyes and try to sleep for the 5th time tonight. I have no luck and have a feeling that the rest of the night will be like this too. I'm going to be tired in the morning.

Okay first chapter is up! Let me know what ya'll think!
