Chapter 1: The Fairy's Tail
"U-Um...Ma'am...?" The train instructor asked rubbing his hat in front of the Hargeon train station.
Natsumi's eyes were in swirls as she couldn't bare to stand up.
"Aye!" Happy said saluting "This always happens."
"I can't stand it!" The girl complained sweat running down her face "I'm never getting on a train again!" She took a deep breath
"Urp!" She said covering her mouth as her cheeks puffed up.
"Let's go!" Happy laughed "If what we heard is true then the fire dragon, Salamander, is in this town!"
Natsumi was bent over the window "I...I need to take a quick break."
"Yup! Yup!" Happy nodded then realized "Ah! The train's leaving..."
With Natsumi on it.

"I had to take two different trains!" Natsumi whined as she wobbled down the street.
"You don't do well when it comes to moving vehicles," Happy noted.
"Now I'm hungry."
"We don't do well when it comes to money."
"Say Happy," Natsumi asked "You think this Salamander is really Igneel?"
"Yup!" Happy nodded "The only fire dragon I could think of is Igneel."
"That's right, huh?" A smile came abroad Natsumi's face "So we'll finally find him! I'm even feeling a little better now!"
"Aye!"
Natsumi turned her head towards the commotion going on around the corner curiously.
"Salamander!" He heard girls scream along with "Kya!"'s.
"See?" Natsumi pointed "Speak of the devil and there the guy is!"
"Aye!"
Natsumi pushed through the crowd "Igneel! Igneel!" She shouted her face showing raw excitement.
"Igneel!" She yelled falling to her knees in front of the crowd. Her face dropped.
"Who are you?"
The supposed "salamander" lent down to her lending her his hand. "If I said Salamander?" He paused sending her a gleam "Would that ring any bells with you?"
His jaw dropped as he realized the girl was already gone walking away.
"Hey you! That was rude!"
"Right! Salamander is a top wizard!"
"You'd better do some heavy apologizing!"
Natsumi frowned "What's with you guys?"
"Now, now! I think that will be quite enough," The man waved off "It isn't as if she meant to insult me."
"Ahh!"
"What a nice guy!"
Only one girl in the crowd's eyes sharpened.
"Salamander" begun to write something down. "Here's your autograph. Now you could brag about it to your little friends." He said attempting to hand it to her.
"Ah!"
"I want one!"
Natsumi gave him a blank face "I don't want it,"
"What is with you!"
"Just crawl back into your hole!"
Natsumi screamed "Gak!" As they pushed her away. "I guess he wasn't the guy." Happy sighed. Natsumi sat up with a frown letting out a glare "What's that guys damage?" She muttered.
"He really is a piece of work, huh?" Someone asked behind her. Natsumi turned her head to see a blonde girl ruffly the same age as her.
"Thanks for all you did!" The girl smiled.
"Huh?"
/|\\\\\\\|/Natsumi Dragoneel\\\\\\\\|/|\\\\\\\\\\
Natsumi was not ashamed as she brutishly dug into her food "Fanks for da foo!" She said.
"Yup. Yup." Happy agreed stuffing his mouth.
"Ah ha ha!" Lucy laughed "So your names are Natsumi and Happy? Okay, okay! Just take it easy on the food, okay? That guy Salamander is using a type of magic called "charm." This charm sways people's hearts in the magician's favor. They outlawed the sale of that kind of magic years ago. Anybody who'd use tricks like that to get girls can't be trusted. I may not look like one but I'm more or less a wizard myself." Lucy explained.
Natsumi nodded "Dat maigs zense."
"But when you came barging in, you broke the charm on me." Lucy finished.
"Ngeally?" Natsumi asked.
Lucy nodded "It isn't like I'm in a guild or anything though. Oh!" Lucy realized "A guild is..."
"We know what it is." Happy interrupted. Lucy nodded
"Okay," she paused "By the way, you seemed to be looking for someone?"
"Aye." Happy exclaimed "Igneel."
Natsumi begun to explain "We heard there was a Salamander in this town...so we came, but it turned out to be somebody else." She sighed.
"We could see he wasn't a real salamander just by looking." Happy added.
"I was sure it would be Igneel." Natsumi pouted.
"See he isn't a real Salamander just by looking? What do you mean? As a man, he wasn't..."
"Hmm?" Natsumi asked as she finished chewing "We're not looking for a man. Igneel is a real dragon."
Lucy gasped "There's no way you'd find a dragon in a human town! And quit making like you never thought of that!"
Lucy sighed "I have to go now. Take your time and finish your lunch." She said laying some money on the table.
Natsumi and Happy stared at her. Lucy twitched.
"Thank you so much for the food! Thank you!" Natsumi and Happy both bent down thanking her.
"Kyaa! Stop that! You're embarrassing me!" Lucy screamed. "I-it's okay. You did save me back there. We'll call it even, okay?" Lucy reassured.
"But we didn't intend to save anyone." Natsumi replied.
"Aye!" Happy agreed "We're in your debt!"
A smile came upon Natsumi's face "I got it!" She reached into her pocket "You can have this!" She said handing out the autograph she had obtained.
"I don't want it!" Screamed Lucy.
/|\\\\\\\|/Natsumi Dragoneel\\\\\\\\|/|\\\\\\\\\\
"I am so full!" Natsumi exclaimed rubbing her belly. "Aye." Happy agreed.
"Look! Look! That's Salamander's yacht!"
"I wanted to go to the party too!"
"Salamander?"
"Don't you know? He's that amazing wizard who just came to town! You know! The famous wizard from Fairy Tail!"
Natsumi and Happy both froze.
"Fairy Tail?" Natsumi repeated.
/|\\\\\\\|/Natsumi Dragoneel\\\\\\\\|/|\\\\\\\\\\
Okay so she went a little overboard.
Literally.
Her hair whipped behind her as she landed in the boat.
"Th-that's the girl from earlier today!" Screamed Bora.
Lucy wiped a tear from her eyes "Natsumi?!"
"Urk!" Natsumi begun to stumble "No good! I can't take it it!"
"Ehh?!" Screamed Lucy "That's the least cool thing I've ever seen!"
"Wh-what's going on here?!"
"How did this chick come falling out of the sky?!"
"And she's gone seasick!"
"Lucy?" Happy questioned his wings flapping "What are you doing here?"
"Happy?! He tricked me! He said he'd help me get into Fairy Tail and I..." Lucy paused "I don't remember you having wings!"
Happy dove down "Let's save the details for later!"
He wrapped his tail around Lucy "We're getting out of here!"
"Wa-"
Lucy and Happy were soon gone. Natsumi felt her legs waver beneath her. The men begun to approach her. This couldn't be good.
"You little..." Her eyes widened as the ship slanted. Moving with increased speed among the waves.
"Wh-what is this?!"
"A ship just blew itself onto the harbor shore!"
"What...just happened?" Bora asked.
"Stopped..." Natsumi breathed "That rocking motion...it's stopped." She completed wiping her mouth.
She begun to wobble again, except much stronger.
"Natsumi!" Lucy cried barging in "Are you al-" Lucy twitched to a stop as she comprehended Natsumi's face.
"Right?" Bora finished "Little girl, it isn't polite to barge onto a private yacht, we'll have to teach you a lesson."
Natsumi pulled her hair out. Sliding off her coat to the ground.
"Hey," Bora said "Get her!"
"Yes sir!"
Natsumi dropped her coat to the ground as the goons rushed towards her.
"You're a Fairy Tail wizard?" She asked.
"Yeah," Bora said in a gloating tone "What about it?!"
"I want to see your face real good." Natsumi exclaimed. In a moment's notice she ran forward and punched the goons across the room "'Cause I Natsumi of Fairy Tail! And I ain't never seen you before in my life!"
"Eh!?" Lucy gasped.
"Wha-?!" Bora screeched.
"You could be good or evil!" Natsumi explained "It makes no difference to me! But I'm not going to let you slander the name of Fairy Tail!"
Bora summoned his fire shooting it towards the girl "Heh! Stop with the stupid speeches you little girl!"
The fire engulfed the girl.
"Heh!" Bora said satisfied.
"This is bad!" Everyone around them openly gaped "What's this supposed to be? Are you really a fire wizard! I've never eaten fire that tastes this bad." Natsumi began to eat it.
"Ahhh..." She groaned licking her lips "But thanks for the meal, anyway."
"Wh...wh-wha.."What the hell is this guy?!" Screamed Bora.
"Fire?!"
"You mean she ate the fire?!"
"When I eat..." Natsumi twisted her hands into fists "...the power wells up inside! Here I gooool!" She bent back as fire swarmed around her mouth.
"She..." One of the goons said "Bora, I've seen this chick before!"
"Huhh?!"
Natsumi bent back bracing herself.
"With that pink hair and that scarf that looks like scales...I know it! It's her! She's the real-"
He didn't have a chance to finish as Natsumi let out her breath releasing a strong large and powerful flame.
"Remember this well! " she warned pulling back her fist "This is the might of a Fairy Tail wizard!"
Bora was sent flying. Natsumi was lost in the (easily won) fight so it wasn't until Lucy yelled
"She's getting too carried away!" That she realized. The harbor was in ruins.
"Th-the whole harbor's a wreck!" Lucy cried.
"Aye." Happy agreed.
"Is "Aye" all you have to say?!" Berated Lucy waving her arms.
"A-all right! What's all this then?!" Lucy turned to see a group of soldiers lined up behind them.
"It's the army!" She realized.
"Oh no!" Natsumi sighed she ran forward grabbing Lucy's wrist "We've gotta get out of here!"
"Why are you mixing me up in this?!" Lucy asked as she was dragged away.
"Hey," Natsumi exclaimed "You said you wanted to get into Fairy Tail, right? Then come along!"
Lucy gradually smiled "Okay!"
So what do you think? I know, it's boring, you know what's gonna happen but-But-BUT! It will get better. I promise. Now I need some advice.
Should I keep this main stream Fairy Tail, no romance or anything?
OR
Should Natsumi have a love interest or anything? And if so, who should it be?
What kind of twists would you like to see with their future situations?
Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!
