Chapter 1:
"We got this, lil buddy. " Natsu whispered
"Aye, sir!"
Lucy, standing close by, observed the sight. It was a typical day in the guild, and those two idiots she called her friends were up to mischief, as usual. Natsu and Happy were both on either side of the guild's main entrance, flat against the wall holding a string in their hands, connecting to a bucket which was resting uneasily over the doorway, containing an unknown liquid substance. She had no idea who Natsu was pulling this prank on, but it wasn't hard to guess.
"You guys do realize Gray can just freeze whatever you're about to dump on him?"
"Aw, come on Lucy he ain't that fast!" he stopped talking as if he heard something. Lucy couldn't help but crack a smile. He looked just like a cat with its ears perked up. He suddenly got back in his position with the string and said, "Happy! Get ready he's coming," he turned to Lucy and whispered, "Don't you dare say anything!" Lucy was more than happy to stay out of whatever was about to go down.
Gray started to walk in the guild, "Oh, hey Lucy-AURGH!"
Before Lucy could respond, Natsu's plan went into action. Water poured down from the ceiling and Gray was soaked. There was steam coming off of the ice wizard, like hot water was poured on ice. "WHAT THE HELL, NATSU?!" And here we go… Lucy thought.
"BAHAHA, good job Happy!" Natsu barely had time to high five Happy before Gray pounced on him. He grabbed a fist full of Natsu's vest.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR? YOU KNOW I HATE GETTING WET! I CAN'T STAND WATER!"
Juvia was standing nearby as well, and she burst into tears, "Gray-sama…doesn't…like…water…?!" was all she said before she turned her whole body into water…and seeped through the floorboards and disappeared.
Now Gray was really gonna kill him. Natsu was still laughing a bit. "I wanted to see what would happen if I poured hot water on you. And I was totally right. There's steam comin' of of ya right now hahaha-" his laugh was cut short when Gray punched him in the face. Lucy sighed and decided to go towards the bar.
Natsu recovered, getting up from the floor, where he had crashed into a chair and broke it. "Wow, it must have reduced your fighting ability too. That punch was so weak, Ice Princess!"
"Why you-ICE MAKE-"
"FIRE DRAGON-"
"NATSU! GRAY! ENOUGH!" a booming female voice erupted from the guild hall, enough to make almost everyone grow quiet.
"Er-Erza…" the boys both muttered, knowing that unless they had a death wish, they would have to stop.
"Oh, Erza, you're back from your mission already!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Yes, indeed. Now, I have to talk to the master. Lucy, there's someone who's looking for you, I told him to wait out there." She pointed toward outside. She leaned in closer, "He seems quite eager to speak to you." She whispered with one eyebrow raised. It was only meant for Lucy to hear, but no whisper couldn't be unheard by the dragonslayer. This perked his interest, and he felt something weird happen inside of him. His heart started beating faster and he felt an unusual burning sensation in his chest.
"Um…okay…I guess I'll go see…" Lucy said.
"Hurry up, Lucy! I know a great mission we can go on that'll help with your rent!" Natsu said, sounding more pushy than he meant.
"Yeah, cuz we all know she can't get rent money herself…" Happy muttered out loud.
"Shut it, cat!" Lucy snapped.
Anyway, who in the world would want to see her? She noticed Erza said "he". She didn't really talk to any guys outside of the guild, so she was confused to say the least. Maybe someone saw her in Sorcerers weekly or something? She started to head outside when she heard a voice, "Lucy!"
She saw a man coming towards her at an impressive speed with a smile on his face. Before she could do anything the man full out bear hugged her, which made her cry out in surprise.
Natsu almost attacked the man, but saw he wasn't hurting Lucy, and backed off. His chest hurt a lot and it was annoying him. Who the hell is this? Hugging my Lucy…wait…my Lucy? He thought.
The man stopped hugging a surprised Lucy, put his hands on her shoulders and spoke, "Wow, Lucy it's been forever, I'm so happy to see you!"
Lucy was still in shock. She looked closer at the man. He was dressed up rather nicely. His pale blue button down shirt, jeans, boots made him look rich. His hair was golden and curly, which highlighted his tanned skin almost too well. He looks rich…Lucy thought. Wait! Rich?! It couldn't be…! She looked at the man's face closely and then there was no doubt in her mind. That handsome, goofy grin could only belong to one person.
"…Luke?! Is that you?"
"Indeed, my princess." With a smile he bent down on one knee and kissed her hand, which made Lucy blush.
"Hey, stop that! Now is not the time to play 'Prince and Princess' we aren't kids anymore, you know!" Lucy said gently pulling her hand away.
"Sorry, it seems to be a habit." Luke snickered.
"Oh, whatever." She said rolling her eyes.
"Um, Lucy? Who is this exactly?" Happy asked. Lucy came back to earth and realized all of her friends were staring at them in shock…one face looking scarier than the others.
"Lucy, did that cat just talk?" Luke asked looking truly shocked
"Yeah long story…I'm sorry guys, this is Luke. We were best friends when we were kids. I haven't seen him since we were both…gosh I don't know, 8?" she asked, looking up at him for confirmation.
"Sounds about right…that means we have 10 years to catch up on. Care to give me a tour of the city?"
"Only if you can keep up!" Lucy said, grabbing his hand and running out of the guild hall.
"Wait, Lucy! What about the mission?" Happy asked, looking discouraged.
"Oh, uh, sorry Happy, you guys go on without me this time, I gotta show Luke around! See you later!" she said in a rush as Luke was practically pulling her with him. And with that, they were both gone.
"Well, they seemed awfully friendly," Gray said.
"Indeed," Erza agreed. They looked over at Natsu and sweat dropped. There was a dark aura coming off of him…literally.
"Um…Natsu…?" Happy asked cautiously. He knew something was up with Natsu, everyone did. You couldn't see Natsu's eyes through his hair, and even then he looked scary. Nobody dared mess with him, not even Erza.
"I'm goin' home." Natsu said, and he walked out of the guild hall without another word.
"Jeez, what crawled up his ass all of a sudden?" Gray asked. Happy didn't say anything, but he had a feeling he knew what was going on. He had known his best friend long enough to figure it out. The little exceed smiled deviously and flew out of the guild, following his moody best friend, happy to know he was right about something for once.
