A smartly dressed man, with messy salmon pink hair glanced around with his black grid lined designed white scarf drifting along with every turn. He cursed and ran his hand through his thick hair. He currently stood in the centre of town, a town a few cities away from his. And! He was lost.

He had a feeling this would happen. If you asked him to give you a tour of his home town, he would have apologised and said he was busy. Which he could not be blamed for, especially considering how busy he usually was with work and all. But if he did agree to give you a tour, you would have chosen the best tour guide for his city. He knew it like the back of his hands, from the main streets to the back streets- even shortcuts though back alleys. If you wanted him to take you from point A to point B as fast as he can, he would do that with ease if you did not mind climbing a few walls or running through someone's backyard. Hell, if you wanted him to give you a tour of all the attractions of his city, he would but he may end up ditching you out of boredom. But due to his lack of good direction, he was lost in this decently sized town. Hell, he would have been lost in a small village with his crappy sense of direction so to get lost here? Really was not that much of a surprise. But this did not change the fact that he hated it. Not just his lack of direction but this stupid assignment.

And so he blamed not only himself but cursed his chief in charge of handing out tasks. Yes, maybe he should not have interfered in the riot. And sure, maybe he should not have punched a few civilians and police officers and then followed it all by 'accidently' setting fire to a police car which in turn blew up severally other police cars. But in all honesty? He knew that somewhere at the back of his mind that something was going to go down when he got assigned that task. Heck, his colleagues and even his chief had an idea that something was going to go down if he went for the assignment. But he didn't care, the other assignments to him where boring as hell, and he hated that and so after a little persuading, he got his assignment to report about the riot and he did all the reporting from the pits of his jail with some aide from a transsexual inmate who got arrested so he could 'drop the soap' in jail and so joined him in the beating of some of the other police officers. The pink haired man got put in jail for three days, which was followed by a month on probation, and then getting yelled out for an hour by his chief which then was followed by the worst punishment possible- interviewing a snobby celebrity. He couldn't even argue about it considering that it was only because of his chief pulling some strings that he was bailed out. And it was all thanks to the chiefs relationships with the mayor. He gritted his teeth.

"Where the hell is the dam stadium?!" He yelled, stealing a few glances by some passer-byers who eyed him in a mix of fear and suspicion and answered it by moving as far away from him as possible. Needless to say, he caught the eyes of quite a few with his outburst and this went for a women who was playing incognito in a trench coat, hat and a pair of dark shades.

But even if the outburst caught her, her eyes lingered onto his weird pink coloured hair. It wasn't every day that you saw someone with pink hair, especially a guy. Turning away, her eyes mingled with his badge dangling from his neck and so decided to approach him with the thought to aiding him- if possible.

"Ermm, excuse me?" Someone asked. The man spun around and raised an eyebrow at the person standing before him. To him, she was dressed pretty weirdly with all the covered clothes and such. Especially on a sunny day as this.

"Yeah?" He asked. The girl now having a better glance at his card.

"Natsu Dragneel?" She read, it sounded a little like a question then a statement. His eyes narrowed at her.

"Who are you and just how do you know my name?" He asked. She just stared at him, surprised. A few moments went bye. She blinked underneath her shades which he replied by glaring at her.

'This guy clearly has some screws loose...' she thought.

"Erm, your ID card?" She replied unsurely. He just started at her blankly. A few more moments went by and he blinked a few times. His eyes, widened as realisation struck him. A few people started to glance at them and muttered to one and other. She wasn't able to hear everything but could tell that it something to do with her outfit and his peculiar hair. She could only imagine the punishment her manager would force onto her, if she was caught in public again.

He started to grasp his card and stared at it and then laughed giving her a devilish grin.

'That grin…'

"Oh, hehe… That card…" he started, "I kinda forgot about that." He explained. She sweat dropped.

"Yeah anyway, I was wondering if you were lost?" He thought for a second before glancing around and then laughing.

"Oh right… Yeah, I'm looking for the stadium where Lucy Heart is supposed to be playing, and kinda lost my way." He said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck.

She was right. Her phone started to vibrate. She apologised to him and took out her phone. Natsu kept glancing around.

Levy: WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU! YOU START IN HALF AN HOUR! GET YOUR BUT HERE NOW, OH I'M BOOKING YOU FOR A LINGERIE MODELLING FOR THE NEXT MONTH!

She shivered at the message. This was what she was referring to about the punishment and the worst thing about it was the fact that she really would have her doing it.

'Oh the shame,' she cringed at it. She may have been 'model material' and knew she was pretty attractive but that didn't mean she wanted 98% of her body to be seen by the public. She had to hurry. She quickly grabbed the guys hand and ran causing him to stumble behind her in confusion at the suddenness of it all. He grabbed his footing just as if she pulled them into an alleyway. His, nose caught the whiff of a sweet fruity perfume which he surprisingly enjoyed.

"Where the hell are you taking me?"

She quickly glanced back at him, before turning back for a sharp turn, her hands having a solid grasp on his.

"I'm taking you to Mangolia stadium for your interview with Lucy" She replied back. Natsu grinned. He was starting to like this weirdo… and her perfume.
