(This is a lot but I just want to see how much you like the idea Of introducing fairytail to our world. PS, tell me what you think of my rendition of Natsu. - Habitualwritter)

When These Worlds Collide a Fairy Tale is Born:

'Natsu... Oh my gosh Natsu is here, he is here and... Puking into my toilet bowl.'

I watch the struggling, as I understand him to be 'mage', from the hallway inside my cabin. Slowly pacing, rocking, back and forth right by the bathroom door frame. I have begun to show an obviously stressed position on my body. Biting the nail on my right thumb nervously, while my left hand was tucked in the crook of my right arms elbow joint. I've been watching him carefully for the past ten minutes. Ten minutes! He's been hunched there ever since he arrived and figured out where the restroom was. That is after he had fallen through my roof at a defining speed. As well as after tearing through the top half of the building I was staying at. 'Somehow I'm grateful that this is just my old get away cabin. If this were my dorm at college... I'd be screwed.' I thought trying to avoid the other major topic. Natsu is in my cabin.

'Natsu fucking Dragneel of fucking Fairytail, is in my cabin. How the hell is that possible?!' And avoiding the topic was now impossible. 'How, how, how, how...' My eyes grow wider as reality set in more and more. 'This can't be happening, this can't be real.'

"Arrgghhh..." Natsu hurls for the thousandth time. Surprisingly, to me, he's only nearly begun to stop shaking. I have a momentary pause in my pacing, wanting to reach down and comfort the poor young man. But a small sense of fear keeps me from doing so. I'm way too confused by the situation to interact with him yet.

After all he's not real.

Fairytail is only a manga, an anime... a story.

He can not be real.

But here he is with me right now. Undoubtedly in the most uncomfortable of situations, yet still there he is. Or at least it's a man who looks like him. His classic black and orange vest. Which has no buttons to keep it closed and no shirt underneath, giving it the ability to display all sorts of impossibly defined muscles and abs. A pair of white Capri that have a blouse effect on his legs. They tighten at his hips and mid calf. Also, on his hips to secure his pants along with access black and orange fabric, is a simple belt. A pair of sandals used to rest on his feet. Those have since been discarded somewhere else in the cabin in his earlier frantic search. Finally, the famous scarf of Igneel is draped around his neck and shoulders. However contrary to his belief the pattern on it is not of dragon scales. Rather, it's a big black and white crisscross pattern. Still, very cool to me though.

Most importantly it's his face, hair, and guild mark that make me think it's him. Pink-ish-salmon-ish hair in all it's mildly short spiky glory. The red tattoo like design of his guilds logo on his right shoulder. Which piqued my interest the most. From a distance it seems like a solid stamp, however at a closer angle you see a small textural pattern that seams to shift ever so slightly... And then there is his face. The lightly tan face I know all to well on my TV screen, joyous with his teammates, or more serious in battle. Is curled in discomfort and maybe pain. His smile lost and his dark, almost black, shamrock green eyes hidden from sight. This being because he's shut them tight as to not watch the bile exit his body.

In the least to say he looks so real to me. Maybe he is too but just a human-look-a-like. He could only be a cosplayer. A cosplayer who nailed it with makeup and costume artistry. As well as special effects, there were flames when he got here. Flames that vanished in the blink of an eye when he landed on the floor of the top story, denting it on impact. He'd landed on his back but quickly ran around. Which is how I eventually directed him here.

He's done puking now but waits around the toilet just to make sure. Resting sprawled on the ground, an arm on the toilet and another on the bathtub. He breathes heavily but seems more content now. "Where's ehugg... Luce." He says slurred, quietly taking a breath in between his words. I'm shocked by his voice, not just by the tattered sound after the ten uncomfortable minutes he experienced a few seconds ago. But also by his accent hinting at an Irish dialect.

I stop my pacing again. 'No, he can't be.' I hesitantly bend down to sit on the floor and watch him quietly before answering. "Who is Luce? I've only met you when you crash-landed."

"Damn." The mage says quietly finally daring to open his eyes. "Are ya sure it was just meh? Luce is my comrade, my partner at Fairytail."

"Yes it was just you. Are you who I think-"

"I'm Natsu."

'Oh no it's real.' I let me jaw drop, "no fuckin way."

"Close yer mouth ya damn idiot. Ya look even more stupid than Gray, and he has ice for brains." The for sure Natsu states, trying to stand up but slips. He then starts rubbing his head after it hit back against the bathroom wall, "Shit I've never felt this week before."

"I'm not an idiot." I say aloud. 'Gray the ice mage, and he said Luce earlier, common knowledge of who they are to everyone in the fandom. It's just the way he said it...' I think to myself again. Soon after I snap out of it and will myself to get closer. Which it seems he's as weary of me as I have been of him. For he tries to back away. But he's trapped between two ceramics and a wall, so he doesn't move much. "Hey, hey don't do that." I say reaching out to him.

"Don't touch meh."

My hand is frozen midair inches away from his shoulder. I look him in the eyes, trying to connect with him, let him know I'm no threat. Couldn't stand a chance against him, even in this state, "Fine I guess..." I mutter retracting my hand hesitantly.

I can tell he doesn't really trust me still. But he relaxes, he probably has figured out he's stronger still too, just by my willingness to listen to him.

"You know if you don't trust me, why would you give away your identity like that?" He cocks his head confused, as I on the other hand start to giggle a little, no longer scared I let my guard down, trying to lighten the mood at the same time. "I mean I know you ain't the smartest person, but even I would want to keep that quiet. Have something to hold over my enemy," I say. While using finger quotations around 'enemy', "Now you could be at my mercy." I start to full on laugh but he scowls.

Boy was I right about him being stronger still because he lunges at me cutting off my laughter. I fall back half in half out of the bathroom Natsu pinning me to the ground. "I'm Natsu Dragneel a proud mage of Fairytail. Let meh tell ya and ya listen well, knowing my name and where I'm from is no weakness." He glares down at me. I've become scared again and can only nod my head in response. My eyes are trained on him wide and unblinking. Which he takes as a cue to sigh and back off. "Oi, don't mess with what ya can't handle." He's now standing over me looking down and around the hallway we are in. He scratches the back of his head in contemplation, taking another sigh as he reaches a hand down to me.

"Sorry?" He says in a tone hinting at a question.

I pause before willing myself to take his hand. "It's okay? I think?" Matching his same tone.

He pulls me up with ease, to the point where I somewhat have left the ground entirely. Almost losing my balance as my feet touch the ground. However instead of falling I use the wall for support. "Thanks."

"Yeah, yeah, now who are ya?" He's retracted his hand to fold his arm with the other. Patiently, well for him that is, waiting for me to answer. "I mean as long as yer willing to give up yer upper hand." He says referring to my failed tease.

"Noelle, of America, I guess." I insert a title with my name. Only doing so to seam as if we are on the same level. After all this isn't his world. I didn't really want to confuse him that much right now. After all he's very simple-minded and child like, he'd destroy everything if he got upset.

"What in Mavis's name kinda guild is that, never heard a' it."

"Not a guild." I reply.

"Not a guild?"

"Nope."

"Well what is it?" He cocks his head to the right eyeing me highly confused.

"A country that I live in. Who's very land your standing on." I gesture around me as if he were able to see outside at the forest, the whole world. But instead our view is restricted to floors, a broken ceiling, a couple walls, and a door leading to a now nasty looking toilet. "Well I mean you can't see it but it's great, sorta." I shrug my shoulders casually and smile trying to look a little sincerer.

"Okay Noelle great to meet ya." All hostility has left him and his TV worthy smile has returned. "And now... See ya! I gotta find Luce." He turns from me and practically bolts down the hallway, only to trip and fall down a couple stairs. Seams as if the fall through the ceiling did more than just a number on him. He's really not okay. I watch him get back up to come back towards me and set himself back at the toilet. Extremely Audible vomiting coming from his yet again shaking frame.

'Here we go again.' I think rolling my eyes. Except this time I'm willing to comfort the young man before me. I sit by him not saying a word. Only gently rubbing his back to hopefully soothe him. Eventually I calmly speak to him, "I'm sorry this is happening. If only I knew what was causing you to go throw up and be so nauseous. I'd get you medicine right away."

"It's okaaaagghhh..." he empties his stomach. "Bugh, whatsh medicineee?" He says breathing heavily causing him to slur his words.

"You don't know what medicine is?" I ask incredulously.

"N-nooo," He drawls out starting to settle for the second time. Hopefully there won't be a third round of this cycle.

"Well in short right now you need it. Medicine can help you feel less sick."

"Okay, give meh it."

"I can't"

"Why nooouuut?!"

"Because I don't have it!"

"Stupid..."

"What did you just call me?!" No longer rubbing his back, I smack his head. It wasn't hard, although it wasn't that smart of a move either. Natsu starts throwing up for the next three minutes.

After that little fiasco I coaxed Natsu into the downstairs living room. Gave him some Ibuprofen in hopes that it would help him somehow. Then I forced him to lay down on a couch and close his eyes. Somehow that made the Dragon Slayer of a mage fall into a light sleep.

'Halle-freakin-lujah, he's finally settled down.' I'm in my thoughts once again. 'Getting him to do what I said was a task. He's so stubborn and Lucy driven... Which is honestly goals... That I couldn't get him to relax.' I watch him intently from across the room in the kitchen on the same floor level. Sitting at the table with an iPad Pro in my hands. Usually I would be using this electronic to create my art. But right now I'm using it for its search engine capabilities. I have to see if anyone else is here besides Natsu. Maybe there has been some kinda sightings. Who knows maybe they could be in the next cabin over. I have to at least try to look, I'd hate it if Natsu was the only one. He'd become so... Lonely. 'My hell Noelle he's not you. Don't put your worries on him, he'll be fine. Just try to find out if others came, and that they are safe.'

I went through every single news article I could find. Starting with the most popular news sights to the less popular. Also, I stuck to the ones that had articles about America. If I went to a source and found something in another country I'd be a mess. I do not have the funds to take both me and Natsu across the world. However, somewhere in the US could be doable.

I spent an hour or so on google to try to find what I could. One source sounded hopeful at first talking about a blond woman who was running around asking about a man with pink hair. Sounded like she was looking for Natsu, however I then found out it was only a mother looking for her drug addict of a son. It was sad and touching, and she did find him in the end, but it was not Lucy. Not anyone else either, it was simply nothing. So I changed my search tactics. After all social media is a girls best friend, contrary to belief on make up and cloths.

Bingo.

My feed on Instagram showed exactly what I was looking for. Thank goodness I fallow a lot of dedicated Fairytail fandom accounts. For what I see on my iPad is not only Lucy, but Gray, Happy, and Wendy as well. The way I knew it was all really them and not just cosplayers was their guild marks. They all had that funky texture to them, the real deal. The one thing that sucks in the videos is Gray's by himself. Thankfully he's clothed, if he wasn't, well I'd like to not think about those results... However, what's strange, and had earned himself shiny videos on Instagram, was shorts and a tank top casually walking around in a place filled with snow. The other three are all together. Wendy and Lucy are back-to-back, while Happy is in Lucy's arms. They are on a beach and calling out their usual spells at a crowd of on lookers. Confusion and terror on their faces as people with phones trained on them take pictures and videos. I expect magic to be flying everywhere, except nothings happening their spells aren't working. That strikes a lot of worry in my mind. 'What's happening? Where are they, what are they do... Oh no.' The image gets worse as medics and police arrive on the scene. Seeing both together can mean only one thing. 'Oh please don't take them.'

The audio of the short video must have woken Natsu because all of a sudden I hear him yell behind me, "Oi what are they doin to her? How ya see'n this? Get em off her!" He takes the tablet right out of my hands. The action has caused me to jump and almost fall off the chair I'm sitting on. He starts to shake it back and forth, up and down, most likely trying to shake her out of the video. "How do I get her outa there? She's trapped!"

"Natsu please no stop you're going to break it!" I plead standing up reaching out to grab the tablet from his hands. But I miss it just as he's about to throw it.

"Aye! Good idea!" It leaves his hands at a speed I couldn't even put a number too, and my hart drops just as it hits a wall.

"NOOOO!" I scream as I run to the other side of the room, he had thrown it with enough force that the iPad had logged itself in place. When I got there I knew there was no chance of survival. I yanked on it hard a couple times, finally having it come loose on the fifth try. I flipped it to the screen and knew my suspicions were correct. The whole thing shattered. So much so that some glass had fallen to the ground as I held it, while some had stayed behind on the vary wall I took it from. Not to mention some little gadgets inside had come loos and were in places they shouldn't be. Oh, and the wall, I could see straight through to the other room. Both objects were in horrible shape all because of him. I start to feel my eyes water.

"Oi girly she's not here, why didn't it work?" He made his way over to me.

"Y-you... You b-broke it."

"I wah?"

"You broke it!" I yell at him throwing what's left of the irrevocably destroyed piece of technology at him.

"Ow hey watch it." He says watching me like I'm crazy. He looks as if what he did was no big deal. But it's obvious he has no idea, after all he doesn't know what I had on there.

"She wasn't in there you idiot. You broke my very expensive, very important, very special iPad Pro! Everything I had was on there, my art, papers, all of it. I hadn't had the chance to save anything to a flash drive yet, now it's all gone!" Tears fall down my face freely as I stare at him enraged.

"I don't understand ya." He says stepping towards me still thinking he did nothing wrong.

"Of course you don't understand! Just leave me alone, stay there while you're at it, you might just break something else." I say storming off to the room conveniently on the other side of the broken wall. It just so happens to be one of the few two very small bedrooms in the entire building. The one I chose to occupy during my two week vacation. I enter the room and slam the door behind me before Natsu has a chance to fallow me in.

"Oi, girly, let meh in!"

"No! Go away!" I cry as I sit against the door resting my head against it's wood frame. Now it's silent except for my shaking tears and voice locked away in my room. 'I never realized I could hate someone I admired, even if they're not supposed to be real...'

I was up set for a good hour crying off and on about my lost work and prized possession. Now I sit quietly with a stuffed bear in my arms I'd grabbed off the bed. It's a bit musty, dates all the way back to when I was six. But otherwise it's in good condition. Still, worth cuddling when I'm upset.

"Are ya okay now?" I hear Natsu speak to me from outside. However, his voice doesn't come from behind me by the door. Instead, I turn my head to look at the wall.

Sure enough I see a pair of eyes intently looking at me from the living room because of his whole in the wall.

"Pervert don't look in here, staring like that is rude you know." I don't actually answer his question, instead I mumble. I watch him from my spot two feet away. "Besides I'm still mad at you."

"I can say sorry. Is that what ya want to here?" He asks gently.

"Yes and no." I reply.

"What do ya even... Never mind. Just look I didn't mean to upset ya. I just really, I really want her back, Ya know?" He sighs frustrated slipping down to sit on the floor probably. All I see is his eyes and hair disappear from view.

'I know' I say inside my head. Still, too upset to give in to forgiving him. I want to stew a little longer.

Eventually I give up on stewing and open my door stepping outside. I peek around the corner scanning the open aria to see where Natsu went. I don't see him right away and turn to check the rest of the cabin, then I hear his voice again.

"Down here girly."

I turn and look down to see Natsu laying on the ground looking at the ceiling. Instead of helping him up I go to lay down beside him. Once I'm down, and we are side to side I hear him speak.

"What're ya doin girly?"

"Nothing, have you already forgotten my name?"

"Not really. It's Nessy right?"

"You got the N right but no it's not Nessy."

"Oh."

It goes quiet again.

"Well girly whatever yer name is, ya didn't answer, what're ya doin?" He says eyeing me out of the corner of his eye not making the full commitment to just turn his head and look at me.

"I'm sympathizing, doing what you're doing to understand you. It's supposed to be endearing." I state casually continuing to look up at the ceiling, however the lights above are starting to hurt my eyes. "Oh and it's Noelle by the way."

"Wah... I don't get it." He says finally turning and looking at me. He makes a face that scrunches his nose up in what seems to be disapproval.

"It's a thing." I shrug my shoulders with a smile eventually creasing my mouth. I close my eyes because the lights finally getting to me. I see the shapes of them dance behind my eyelids.

"Pshh ahhh ah ah ah." I hear Natsu laugh wholeheartedly. It's contagious because I do the exact same thing a couple seconds later.

"N-Natsu, why are you even on the g-ground in first p-place?" I barely get the words out as I huff and laugh hardly breathing and my stomach is in joyful pain.

"Ah ha ha it seemed comfortable." He laughs back.

"Oh ha ha okay." My laughing fit has reached its end and I breathe deeply to regain the air that I lost. I then turn to look back at him and tell him something else, "Thank you Natsu."

Natsus taking longer to quiet his laughter as he responds to my thanks, "f-for what ehhmmm... I mean I apparently broke something valuable to you. The only other time I see someone get mad like that is Luce when I sneak into her room..." and then the humor is gone.

"Hey Natsu." I say sitting up with my right elbow to look down at him more directly.

"What is it girly?" He says frowning.

"She is here, Lucy. I mean you saw her. That and there was Happy, Wendy, and even Gray. You're not alone, and they're not alone, I will help you find them I promise." I smile down at him. "Oh and it is still-"

"Noelle, I know." He smirks no longer as somber.

"Hey! Good job you remembered!" I poke him on the shoulder teasingly.

He chuckles lightly at the tease, sitting up he brings his legs up towards his chest. He then rests his arms on both off his knees clasping his hands together with interlocked fingers. His brow furrows, and he looks over his shoulder back at me and asked more questions. "I know I talked about Luce earlier, but how did ya know who Happy, Wendy, and Gray were? Also, how did ya know her name was actually Lucy, I never called her that."

I pale instantly, dreading explaining everything to him. "Ummm would you believe me if I said it was a lucky guess?"

"No Noelle how do ya really know?" He said sternly letting his legs and arms fall to rest on the floor once more. "This is serious, if ya don't tell me I will kill ya."

"Oh come on you gotta be joking." I ask growing even paler.

"Try meh." He says glaring right at me, I can almost see the fire starting in his eyes.

"Well shit." I mumble, "Fine, fine, I can tell you." I rub my face out of stress, then I have an idea. "Actually I'll just show you, but it involves another screen don't you dare break it. Just fallow me to the couch I'm gonna turn on the TV."

"Well alright, but ya mean the lacrima right?"

"No I mean a TV, Natsu there's a lot I'm going to have to explain to you."

"I'm still sure that's a lacrima, but alright show meh what ya got."

I get up off the floor to only sit back down on a couch facing a large flat screen TV. Natsu is close behind and sits cross-legged on the other end. Remote in hand I turn on the TV and find Hulu, my favorite streaming network. Searching effortlessly through my recently watched list to find every Fairytail series.

"Oi, that's my whole guild. How'd you find us so easily?" He sits up straighter alarmed by the cover picture displayed on the huge screen. "I'm even on there, not possible, I'm right here. Noelle how'd ya get this?"

"Just wait, there's more." I click the select button on the remote, and scroll up to the very first episode in season one. The one where Lucy, Happy, and Natsu meet for the first time. As well as when Lucy first joins Fairytail and receives her Guild Mark. "It's going to be hard but I need you to just sit and watch this okay? Then I'll tell you what it means." I press play and let the episode play out. Scene after scene pops up; showing the fake Salamander their first opponent, eating lunch with the boy's, Lucy's first battle using Aquarius, and running away from police after destroying an expensive boat. My gaze flickers between the TV and the man sitting next to me. He's on the edge of his seat, tight fists ready to fight glued to his knees, stopping himself from actually hitting anything. He twitches every once in a while. He wants to break the TV too I can tell, he's uncomfortable watching himself in flashing colors and light. Eventually the end comes and the credit's role. This is where I decide to turn the TV off and end the poor guys suffering.

"The hell was that?" He says his focus still trained on the now black TV screen. "That was over eight years ago, have ya been spying on meh and my guild for eight years?"

"Me? No I have not been spying on you. Hiro Mashima on the other hand... Possibly." I tell him putting a hand on his shoulder. "Even though I do have this footage I can tell you I mean your friends no harm. I personally have only known who you are for three years. This episode happened long before that." Natsu shrugs me off, at the same time he stands and starts pacing the floor closer to the TV set up.

"I'm gonna find this Hira 'er whatever and beat his ass!" He pounds his hands together the right in a fist and the left griping the right firmly. All of his muscles are taught and I see him look around, looking for an exit to bolt out of and find the man. The man who I thought had created him, but maybe... Maybe he was actually looking into another world. It's the only way Natsu could be here and alive right? But if that's the case and her really is from another world how did he get here?

"No, no, no, no! You are not going to hurt him either! Hiro Mashima is a good man too. He just happens to know a lot about you, as well as he knows a lot about Fairytail." I say stepping in front of him grabbing his attention. His glare returns to his face happy Natsu gone for the third time today. 'Wow he fly's through his emotions like a firecracker. Ready to explode each second it's lit. I wonder if I can somehow tame it down.' I think stalling before I have to speak to him again. He's tried to step past me a few times but I stop him in his tracks. Once he's standing still I speak again. "We aren't the only ones who know about you. There're millions who know about your guilds story. All of your adventures, pasts, futures, failures, triumphs, we've seen it all. We've experienced it all with you at different times in your life and in ours. But not a single one of us has watched with the intent to hurt you I promise. Please believe me when I say I am here to help you, right now I'm the only person you've met who could help you find the others, and quite possibly the only one who can get you home. Natsu relax and let me help." I plead with him desperately.

He breathes heavily contemplating my words in his head.

He speaks.

"Fine help meh."

I smile relived. 'This is going to be one wild journey, but I'm ready' I smirk at him now.

"Let's go find your friends."
