Prologue:
I had to do something. My existence was in jeopardy, but I seriously didn't think he was that dense to not go after her. How stupid was he anyway? Even so there was only one person that could save us all now. Even if he was a stupid pink-haired idiot.
Natsu's POV:
I hadn't taken a job in over 3 months. After all it was the 3 year anniversary of her death. I still couldn't believe she was gone like that. And it was all my fault. She was the best thing that happened to me.
She, …. I couldn't even work up the courage to say her name without it burning my tongue or bringing tears to my eyes. I didn't believe she could do that job on her own, but she was going to prove me wrong anyway. I should of just followed her anyway. It should have been suspicious when she was gone for two weeks after her job was supposed to be finished. But no I didn't give it a second thought. Until we finally sent out a search party and found her dead. It was all my fault…. Lucy. I am so sorry.
"Natsu… we are going to go on a job you wanna come?" Happy said as he flew over to me. Erza, gray, juvia and Wendy were all waiting by the door, waiting for me.
"No. I can't today sorry" I said taking another drink of some booze. It had been my crutch these few years, even though it wasn't the healthiest habits it didn't matter to me.
"Told you he wouldn't want to go. You do know what day it is right?" Gray whispered to erza as they left the guild hall. Happy flew off disappointed towards everyone.
"It was worth a shot. He needs try to move on with his life." Erza said closing the doors behind her. Maybe it was true, but even so I didn't want to.
"Mira, I'm going out, thanks again for the booze." I said as I stuck my hands in my pockets and walked out the door.
"Are you going to see her?" Mira asked a little concerned.
"Yea." I said walking out the door. I could feel the empty whole in my heart as I walked towards the cemetery. When I finally arrived a few minutes later I went and found her final resting spot.
"Luce… how could you be… how could I be so stupid as to let you go that day. I just wish…! I miss you, we all miss you." I said I fell to my knees and cried, I let the tears fall and the heart break show.
"I never thought I would see the great Nastu Draganeel on his knees crying… especially because of a girl." A female voice said. I jumped looking in front of me to see a girl leaning against Lucy's grave stone. She was about 14 years old with Long pink hair, with a big blue bow tied in the back and deep brown eyes. She smelled familiar in a way, but I have never met this girl in my life.
"Who the hell are you and where did you come from!" I screamed with steam coming out of my ears. I calmed down for a minute and used my sleeve to wipe away excess tears.
"My name is Nala. And I have come from the future believe it or not!" The girl said with her arms folded around her chest looking at me with a big grin.
"Whatever kid." I said as I turned and walked away. What a complete weirdo, I mean I know she's like only 14 but the future? Seriously?
"HEY! Don't you want to know what I came her for! NATSU!" She screamed back at me as she ran towards the trail to face me on it.
"I could use a good laugh, fine tell me why you are here kid." I said putting my hands in my pocket and I turned to face her.
A big grin came across her face she lifter her right hand and pointed at me. "I, Nala have come to the future to grant Mr. Natsu Dragneel, you, one wish, to help you in your quest to change the past, To save Lucy!" she said.
"Don't be ridiculous no one can do that." I said as I started walking away again. I can't believe she had the nerve to assume she could bring back Lucy. There was just no way on EarthLand that anyone could do that.
"WHAT?! You have got to be kidding me?! How can I prove to you that I'm telling the truth Natsu? I'm completely serious here! I have the power, my father found for me to help you!" Nala said as she ran to my side as I walked out of the exit to the cemetery.
"For one thing, time travel is forbidden magic so your father is an idiot for getting you involved, second of all bringing back people from the dead is impossible. Third of all I don't think there is any proof you can give me that would make me believe your ridiculous story!" I said
"That's kind of rude that your calling my dad an idiot since it was my idea to try to save my existence. And I never said we would be bringing her BACK from the dead. Maybe I don't have proof but all you can do is believe in me? Isn't that what you did when you first met Lucy, you believed in her? You believed she was strong enough to join Fairy Tail and that you guys could form the strongest team in fairy tail?" Nala said as she stopped. I also stopped because she was right all I did was believe. I mean what did I have to loose? A little false hope a little more heart break but I could just flush that out with some booze later on.
"So you can seriously help me huh?" I said as I turned to face her giving her a serious look. "Does that mean I can help you!" Nala said with excitement and jumped up and down.
"As long as it doesn't kill me or put anyone in fairy tail at risk, ya I guess." I said walking away from her.
"YES!" She yelled into the air and ran up next to me. We walked back towards magnolia together being pretty silent.
"So what do we have to do." I said
"I just have a few tests for you to do and then I'll be able to grant your wish no problem!" She said
"Tests!" I said slumping over as I walked "You didn't say anything about tests!" This was going to be a nightmare.
"Do you want your wish granted or not?" Nala said as she stopped right before we entered the guild facing me.
"Yea…. But." I said rubbing the back of my neck.
"Good!" she said with a smile. "Your first test starts now! You have to convince the master I'm good enough to join the guild!" She announced. She pushed through the doors and said a big HELLO! To everyone in the guild. I stood outside watching her walk in. I couldn't even imagine what I was getting myself into.
** Well! What a strange chapter that was! Who is this girl Nala Really? What are the other tests like? Did Natsu make the right choice in trusting her? Read on to find out! Hope you all enjoyed! :D***
