Wander~

The job was a success. It was just the three of them; Lucy, Natsu, and Happy. The job was simple; take out a couple of bandits. There was only one problem. One person in the group of bandits could manipulate memories. Unfortunately, all of our hero's got hit. And that's the reason why they were lost. Terribly lost. Natsu, being as stubborn as he is, insisted he knew where to go. Lucy and Happy both doubted this. The way that Natsu wanted to go, was through a dense forest.

After a day of begging, Lucy finally agreed to go through the forest. They didn't have any other idea on how to get back to the guild. They were in a town who had little to no wizards, and guilds weren't well known. The team also could not relocate their employer of their previous job. So, they decided to pack supplies. Both Natsu and Lucy each feature a camping pack. They agreed to start tomorrow morning. Natsu and Happy both walk off into another direction, while Lucy headed in the opposite direction towards her hotel. As she got into her room, she looked through the supplies in her pack.

A blanket, A sleeping bag, fire starters, flint, a water purifier, at least 2 months of food, and a first aid kit. Lucy thought that she should put more of her own stuff in her pack. There seemed to be a little bit more room anyway. So she grabbed her deodorant (always need that), other toiletries, extra socks, hair ties, hiking boots, a couple of snacks, extra pairs of undergarment, another outfit, and lastly, a good book. Lucy then laid down on her bed and went to sleep.

She awoke to a loud knocking on her hotel door. She groaned as she untangled herself from her bed sheets and slowly walked to the door. When she opened it, she came face to chest with Natsu. He had a cheerful grin on his face.

"Ready to go Luce?" He said to her. She stared at them with a blank stare. Then slammed the door in their face.

"I'll be out in a minute." She said. Though a minute turned into about 10 minutes. She showered and got dressed. She chose a pink tank-top, a purple cover up and tied the bottom of it into a knot, and purple shorts with her hiking boots. She put her shoulder-length blonde hair into a high ponytail. She grabbed her belt with her keys and her pack and walked out the door. Natsu and Happy were slumped up against the wall waiting for her. She looked at them through sleepy eyes.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"Morning!" He said gleefully. He grabbed her hand and they rushed down the stairs and out the hotel doors. The sun was barely peeked over the horizon. Lucy continued to follow the boy and the small exceed until they were on the outskirts of the city. There, the slowed at a clearing. At the other side of the clearing was what looked like a wall of dense forest. The trees loomed over them and blocked out most of the sun. There were two trees that curved inward towards each other, creating a circular entrance. Lucy looked at the forest in awe. It resinated beauty and magic. A lot of magic. There were gaps in between the trees so rays of the sun would illuminate the clearing. The grass was a perfect shade of green. As they neared the entrance, Lucy could see how scary it actually looked. Past the two curved trees, the path was black and the outlines of branches could be seen, jutting out into the path. But, it did give off beauty. She could make out different petals floating down from the trees due to the soft breeze. Most of them were a light pink, like the petals on a peach tree. There were also leaves that were rainbow colored.

Lucy giggled as one of the leaves landed on Happy's nose, causing him to sneeze. Natsu waved at her to hurry up, and the trio entered the magic forest.

It has been 3 months.

Three months since they started.

Three months isolated from the world.

Two weeks since they sent Happy flying through the skies looking for the next town.

Two weeks they have been alone.

Two weeks since they discovered their feelings.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Lucy nibbled on her ration of food for the day, carefully following Natsu while doing so. Ever since they started running low on food in month two, they've been rationing. Even so, our duo felt at peace. They were even lost in the woods, with barely any supplies left, but they were at peace. Natsu believes its the magic in the forest making them feel that way.

His appearance has changed in the last three months. His salmon-colored hair isn't has spiky and it's more shaggy, hanging low at his shoulders. His muffler has recently moved from his neck. He has now tied it around his waist. He also has some pink stubble growing on his chin. Lucy thought it made him look cute.

Speaking of which, her appearance has also changed. She still is wearing the same outfit that she wore when she left, but she had ripped her cover-up to use as a hair-tie and belt. Her shoulder-length hair was now long enough to touch her butt. Which, when flowing in the wind, Natsu found stunning.

Natsu is glad that he is with his best-friend, and nothing serious has happened. When he first entered the forest, Natsu could tell that they were going to get lost. And they did. Though, after Lucy got over it, they've been wandering the forest, waiting to stumble into another town. Natsu glanced back at the beauty. They probably haven't spoken to each other for about two days now. They both felt has if there was nothing to be said. It all started when Natsu and Lucy found a beautiful spring with a waterfall.

It was a big relief for Lucy, since they both probably haven't bathed in three days. Natsu remembers the relieved look on her face when they came across it.

~Flashback~

Lucy stripped down to her undergarments and jumped into the spring, fully submerging herself. She came back up taking note on how the water rose just above her bellybutton. Natsu was also about to jumped in when something stopped him. Lucy reached behind her to her pony tail and took it out. Her flowing blonde hair cascaded around her. He couldn't help but stare at his first love. The lake was sparkling in the bright sunlight. Her eyes seemed to do the same.

"Natsu?" She asked him. "Aren't you going to jump in?" Natsu shook himself out of his thoughts.

"Yeah! Here I come!" He yelled as he jumped in. Lucy giggled as he resurfaced spitting out water from his mouth like a fountain. Natsu started to heat up the water surrounding him, due to the water being a little cold for his taste. Lucy had begun swimming towards the waterfall. It created a curtain of water. Lucy decided to take a risk and walked through it. It was a secret room located behind it. She swam out and got out of the water. Natsu watched her in curiosity. Lucy grabbed the nearest leaves hanging off of a tree. Which happened to be a peach tree. She took her handful of pink leaves and put them in a wooden bowl she had made while in the forest. She added some water and began smashing the leaves. She smelt the water and ginned.

'Close enough to real shampoo!' She thought to herself as she slid into the water. She was so excited about taking an (almost) real shower again, she almost forgot about Natsu. She poked her head outside of the waterfall to speak to him.

"Don't come in ok?" She then retreated back into the waterfall. She stripped completely and began her shower.

Natsu stood there with a faint blush on his cheeks. He could see her figure through the waterfall and he thought,

'Today is the day.'

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Lucy reemerged from the waterfall, smelling better than normal. She looked around the spring only to realize Natsu was no where to be seen. She walked into the middle of the spring and was about to call out his name, when two strong arms wrapped around her waist. Out of the corner of her eye, she could see his pink hair.

"Natsu? What are you doing?" She asked with as a blush dusted her cheeks.

"Thank you Lucy. For being my friend." He mumbled into her shoulder.

"Um, you're welco-" Natsu cut her off.

"You know I'm always going to be there for you, right?" He mumbled. Lucy's blush grew.

"Of course I know tha-" Natsu spun her around to face him and he

looked deeply into her eyes.

"I love you." He said. Lucy's eyes widened.

"I-I think I do too." She replied, her blush a dark pink. Then, Natsu kissed her.

~Present~

Natsu stopped suddenly in his tracks, causing Lucy to bumped into him. She was about to say something until she realized why he stopped. Natsu heard Lucy softly gasp at the view in front of them. There were at the edge of a huge cliff, looking over the miles and miles of forest. Directly below them, there were trees with dark green leaves and different flowers on top of them. As they looked more out, they could see multiple lakes and streams in between trees with light-green leaves. Natsu's eyes wandered over to the horizon, which was lined with mountains.

It was a perfect day. The sky was a bright blue, they were high over the fog, and there was a breeze that cooled them down. Lucy decided to take a seat. She popped her left leg up and kept her right leg down. She leaned back on her arms as she took in the view. Natsu stood slightly behind her, gazing off into the distance. After a minute or two, Lucy finally broke the silence between them.

"It's so beautiful, Natsu." Natsu took a seat besides her.

"Yeah, it sure is." He said, glancing at her. After a little bit, Lucy moved so she could rest her head on his shoulder. And there they stayed until sunset.

He woke Lucy up, and they headed down the trail. And they continued wandering the beautiful land.

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o00o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0oo0

They wandered only for three days. Until Lucy saw a path. She tugged on Natsu's vest and pointed at the path. When he realized what it was, his ears perked up:

He heard a voice. They looked at each other and skeptically looked down the trail.

"Lu-chan!" They faintly heard. They both looked at each other. Lucy's face broke into a large grin. She quickly took off down the path, Natsu right behind her.

"Lucy!" A strong, female voice yelled. Lucy jumped over a rock, tears already forming in her eyes.

"Flame brain!" A male voice yelled. Natsu took a long stride, now neck and neck with Lucy.

"Natsuuuu! Lucccyyy!" A small voice yelled. Together, the duo broke into the light and back into society. Erza, Gray, Levy, and Happy all stared at them in surprise, they just came out of nowhere. Then there were hugs all around. Lucy started to let the tears stream down her face when she reunited with her family. Natsu hugged Happy.

"Happy! Where were you?" He asked.

"You were so far away from the guild! I was flying straight for three days until I finally ran out of juice. I then took a nap and got to flying again. We've been walking along the perimeter of the forest for three days yelling for you!" He said in a teary voice.

"It's a good thing we heard you little buddy!" He said. A small hand grabbed his and was given a kiss on the cheek by Lucy.

~Epilogue~

The team has finally made it back to the guild where the duo was given a feast. They ate until they were both full. Mira and the master threw a party in honor of their safe return. The music was blaring, and everyone was on the dance floor.

Natsu was in the center of it all, dancing with happy. Lucy put her hand on his shoulder, and he started to dance with her. Happy floated away from the couple, saying to other party goers,

"They liiiikkkkeeee each other!"

And with that, Lucy put a hand on Natsu's face, and Natsu put his hand on her face, and they kissed. Everyone raised their glasses and cheered.

They both knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives wandering with each other.
