Summary- Lucy is a young girl who does nothing but get into trouble when it comes to using her magic. When she decides to leave home after a incident and join Fairy Tail, a place for magic users who want to travel, she meets a boy named Natsu who claims to have met her many years ago when she was hurt. Lucy however doesn't remember this boy and see's him as a type of stalker. However when Natsu shows her his necklace she begins to realize that he is telling the truth since that was the necklace her mom made just for her. Despite Lucy excepting Natsu as the boy that saved her, she refuses to fall in love with him and says that she's going to travel the world in order to beat her twin sister who has done nothing but make her life a misery. Natsu then decides to go with her and protect her and somehow get her to fall in love with him. The only problem is that he is the son of the fire demon, who was the one that sealed him up so many years ago, and keeps finding himself either being targeted by women who want to marry him or men who want him dead. To make matters even worse the pair soon find themselves in a deadly plot and must somehow survive.

A dark cave, which was rumored to have a sealed demon inside, held a young girl who fell from a larger whole that she didn't see as she wondered into the upper area of the cave. Her soft cries could not be heard by anyone. Her body was bruised and her leg was sprained by the fall she had experienced by wondering into this place.

"Mommy...," she said scared. She looked down at her hurt ankle and gently touched it. The pain she felt was like a needle that jabbed into her skin. Soon the tears came down faster and her crying was louder.

She tried to stand and limp out of the cave but as she did she felt another sharp pain in her leg. She looked back down and saw that she had a cut right near her knee and it looked deep.

So hopeless she was. Her crying was the only thing that might enable someone to hear her. But alas no one came. "Why are you crying?" a voiced asked out of nowhere. The young girl, with a startled expression, looked up to see a boy looking down at her.

His short rosy hair and black eyes was something the girl had never seen before. "M-my leg," she trembled. "I-I hurt it when I fell f-f-from the hole..."

The boy smiled and bent down to her patting her head. "What's you're name?" he asked gently.

"L-Lucy..." Her voice soften. She didn't know if she could trust this mysterious boy.

"That's a pretty name." His smile caused Lucy to blush a bit. He was quite handsome. "Well let me take a look." He slowly grabbed her leg and gently massaged her ankle. Lucy flinched a bit but tried to act strong. Soon the pain was gone and she could freely move her ankle. The boy then went to her knee. "This might sting a bit." Lucy nodded her head to show that she could take it. Natsu just smiled.

He bought his right hand over to her knee and in no moment at all his hand began to glow fiery red. Lucy was tempted to move because she was afraid he was going to burn her. Natsu seemed to know what she was thinking and shook his head. Lucy calmed down and closed her eyes.

Soon she felt a warm hand against her knee. The stinging pain came in an instant but disappeared just as fast. When she opened her eyes she saw that her wound was gone. "There," he said grinning. "Nothing to worry about anymore."

Lucy's pale face began to turn red. "So... w-what's your name then?" She asked sheepishly.

He looked back at her. "Natsu."

"Natsu? I like that name a lot," she said with sparkles in her eyes.

"Hahah really?"

"Yes. It's a unique type of name."

"Well that's a first. People usually hate my name..."

Lucy looked at him with confusion. "Why?"

The boy gave her a sad look as if he was about to cry. Lucy gently touched his face. "Why do you look so sad?" she asked worried. But before he could answer, Lucy heard a loud and rather panicky voice coming from the inside of the cave. "Mommy!" she said suddenly getting up.

"So that's you're mom's voice huh?"

"Yes! She's come to get me." Lucy began to run in the direction of her mother but stopped when Natsu wasn't following her. "You can't stay here mister Natsu," she said walking over to him. "Come with me and we can find your parents to."

"I don't have any parents Lucy..."

Lucy eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

"I'm all alone. I've lived here for some time now..." His face grew sadder.

"Then come live with me. Mommy would let you live with us."

Natsu shook his head. "I-I can't Lucy... I'm stuck here..."

Lucy tilted her head as the voice of her mom was getting louder. "Oh I know!" she said suddenly. She reached behind her neck and took off a heart shaped necklace. "Mommy made this for me. She said that this will give happiness to anyone who wears it." She showed the necklace to him.

"I can't take this..."

"No it's ok. I think you need it more than me."

Natsu was just about to shake his head when Lucy heard her mom's voice coming closer to them. She quickly stuck the necklace in his hand and ran in the opposite direction. Before leaving she turned around and said "Thank you for helping me mister Natsu. I'm sure we'll meet again." She waved goodbye to him and he gave a sad smile..

"Lucy!" her mom said as she was running to her. "Are you alright!"

"Yes I'm fine mommy," Lucy said when her mom hugged her.

"Lucy what you did was stupid. You could've fallen to your death from that hole. If I didn't have help from the spirits I never would have found the entrance to this place!" she yelled letting go of Lucy

"I-I'm sorry but don't be mad mommy. I was saved by boy...His name is Natsu and he healed my wounds."

Lucy pushed her mom away and ran back to the area where Natsu was. "Wait Lucy," her mom shouted out. "It could be dangerous over there."

"Don't worry mom. It's not dangerous. Besides I really want you to meet Natsu. He's really..." but she stopped talking when she came back to where he was. Nothing but the damp rocks were in front of her. "N-natsu," she said unhappily. But there was no answer.

"Lucy what's the matter?" her mom asked as she ran up to her.

"He's gone mom...The boy is gone..."

Her mom looked in all directions. "What boy?" Lucy didn't say anything. Her thoughts were solely on that mysterious boy.
