Storyline: It's been 2 years since Natsu left Fairy Tail to go search for Igneel and restart his training. But while he's training, everyone changes. Will he be able to regain his lost friendship with everyone, or will it turn out into a sob story? MUST READ!
Yayz, it's my 3rd Fairy Tail story and I'm very happy! I've been thinking about this story for a while, so I started to work on it. Mostly everything in the story has changed a bit (I think).
And another thing, Lucy uses Assassin magic (I'm referring to my 2 other stories with Lucy having the daggers and stuff) Everyone is 2 years older, so the teens would be 19, and Wendy is 14, I think. Everyone is still alive except for Lisanna, cause she's supposed to be dead.
Enjoy! :D
-Natsu first-
"Its been 2 years since I've last seen Fairy Tail. I wonder what everyone has been up to lately!" Natsu said excitedly. He then heard some people running from behind him. Then they ran past him.
"Happy, hurry up! I need to see Mira-san!" A blonde girl said, running with a blue cat who was following from behind her.
"Aye, sir!" The blue cat said as he caught up while flying.
Natsu just stared in awe. He remembered the smells and noticed Happy. "He's really grown.. And I forget who the blonde girl was….Link….no…Luigi?…nah…OH! Lucy!" he said, running to the guild. "I've missed Lucy so much!" he said to himself.
-In the guild-
"Everyone, Happy and I have an important message!" Lucy said as Happy lifted her up in the air to get everyone's attention.
"Spit it out, Lucy!" Gajeel yelled.
"We think Natsu has come back!" Lucy said, making the guild gasp.
"What are we going to do?" Wendy said.
"Natsu won't recognize us at all! Well, only scents, but that's it!" Lucy exclaimed as Happy set her down on the ground.
The guild panicked for a bit, then calmed down.
"Well, Mira can put a spell on us to look the same as 2 years ago, right?" Levy asked, making the guild look in Mira's direction.
"Well…I guess, but isn't that kind of mean?" Mira replied.
"I don't know, is it?" Cana said, putting down her barrel of beer.
The Dragon Slayers noticed Natsu's smell and said, "He's coming!"
Lucy didn't feel like seeing Natsu at the moment, so she slipped out of the back door of the guild with Happy and off to her apartment.
-Natsu kicks the door open-
"Everyone, I'm back!" Natsu said as he walked to the center of the guild and yelled, "Everyone looks so different!" he said again.
The guild gulped as they watched him.
"Welcome back, Natsu. It's been a while, and you've grown a lot. I see that you found Igneel?"
"Yeah, ash brain!" Gray walked over too.
Natsu didn't care that Gray insulted him like usual, and he nodded to what Erza said. Then, the whole entire guild started to talk to him. He was the center of attention, but he didn't care because he was looking for 2 missing figures. He looked around the room to see if they were there, but they weren't.
"Hey, Natsu, why ya spacing out?" Gajeel asked.
"Where's Lucy and Happy?" Natsu asked.
The guild looked around the guild and chuckled a bit.
"They're probably a bit shy. They might be at Lucy's apartment," Mira said.
"Okay, thanks, Mira!" Natsu said as he ran out the door.
The guild sighed.
"We should throw a welcome back party for Natsu!" One of the random guild members said.
"Yeah, I think that's a great idea!" Wendy said.
"You people like to party a lot, don't you?" Charle said, crossing her arms.
"Of course we do!" They all said in unison, cheering loudly and making Charle sigh.
-At Lucy's apartment-
"Lucy, you don't have to be so shy," a blue cat said to the blonde.
"But Happy!" Lucy complained.
"No buts! He's probably on his way now, and when he comes, you better take your shades off!" Happy said, almost commanding. All he got was an "Aye sir!" from Lucy.
Natsu knocked on the windowsill because there was a curtain covering it. He then started to overhear Lucy and Happy almost arguing.
"Happy, I'll give you a fish if I don't get to take these off. They fit nicely and everyone got a pair, including you, Charle and Lily."
Happy sighed in defeat. He did like fish, and yes he was wearing shades that everyone wore in the guild. "Fine. But you owe me a fish!" he said, crossing his arms and flying onto the bed.
Natsu knocked harder on the window.
"He's here, now go open the window, Happy," Lucy said, sitting on her bed and playing with her fingers.
"Fine," Happy said as he moved the curtains out of the way and lifted the windowsill up, making Natsu stumble into the room.
Natsu heard the window shut and then stood up. He looked around the room, then noticed Happy and Lucy. He then ran over to the 2 and gave them a big hug. "I missed you guys so much!" he said excitedly.
"We missed you too!" Lucy and Happy said in unison, tightening their hug before letting go.
"Happy, you've grown to look like a strong cat!" Natsu complimented.
"Thanks, Natsu, you've grown too!' Happy said.
"And Lucy…." Natsu said, turning to Lucy who was dressed in ripped jeans, a gray sleeved shirt with a 13 on it, a black ripped scarf and shades.
"You've changed a lot!" Natsu said, smiling.
"Thanks," Lucy smiled, looking disappointed. "I thought he was going to say you look so pretty, Lucy! Ugh! And wait, why does he have a scar on his chin?" she said to herself.
"So, I guess you're going to stay at my house, right?" Lucy asked.
"Well of course, there is no where else to go!" Natsu said, smiling and sitting on the floor.
"You never change, do you?" Lucy chuckled, then looked at Happy, who was crossing his arms with the expression Get-me-my-fish-please-that-was-the-deal. She nodded, then Happy smiled as she got up from the bed and went to the kitchen.
"Looks like you and Luce have been living together I see," Natsu said.
"Yeah, she's really nice. She even praises/deals me with fish sometimes too!" Happy grinned.
Natsu actually sort of just looked at Lucy. "But I thought she hated Happy! And she even praises/deals with fish with him!" He thought.
"Natsu, I don't really. I just got used to him, and of course I do. It keeps his discipline up," Lucy said as she cut the fish in small pieces and served it to Happy, smiling.
"Thanks, Lucy!" Happy hugged her, then went to eat the fish.
"Anything for a buddy, right?" Lucy giggled as she stroked Happy's head.
Natsu smiled, looking at the 2 getting along. "I missed that," he said to himself. "So, Lucy, you gonna take those shades off? It's not sunny outside anymore," he said, looking at her.
Lucy stopped petting Happy and looked at Natsu. "Sure, I guess…" Lucy said as she was about to take her shades off, but Happy stopped her for a second.
"Lucy, you don't have to do this. Are you sure?" Happy asked. All he got was a sad nod.
"It's not like it's that bad. Everyone has one on their body from what happened," Lucy said as she took off her shades.
Natsu gasped to see there was a scar on Lucy's right eye. "What happened?" he asked, concerned.
"Someone got us cursed and made the guild members attack each other. Mira-san and I got each other by the eyes," Lucy replied.
Natsu growled. "I'll kill that person!"
"Natsu, the guy is in jail right now," Happy said.
"Oh…." Natsu said.
"You must be tired from all that traveling. You can sleep on my bed, and Happy and I will take the couch," Lucy said, breaking the silence and smiling.
"Wait, wait, you and Happy sleep together?" Natsu questioned.
"Of course not! Only when I have nightmares," Lucy giggled.
"You can take the bed. I'll get the couch," Natsu said.
"No, I insist that you take the bed," Lucy said.
-After like, I don't know, 15 minutes of who is going to sleep there, they finally came to an agreement-
"Okay, Happy will sleep on the couch, I sleep on the floor, and Natsu, you take the bed, alright?" Lucy said.
"Alright, time to go to bed then! See you in the morning guys!" Natsu said, crashing onto Lucy's bed and sleeping peacefully.
"Well, he really was tired, wasn't it he?" Lucy chuckled, looking at Happy.
"Aye!" Happy yawned.
"Oh no, yawning is contagious, Happy! Cover your mouth before I- *yawns*" Lucy frowned.
Lucy looked over to Happy. He was peacefully sleeping, almost in comatose.
"I missed you so much, Natsu," Lucy whispered, making Natsu's ear twitch and making her giggle.
-After 5 minutes of getting blankets and stuff, she set up right behind the couch so she could sit up.-
"Its so dark in here when the lights are off, but good thing my magic will fix that!" Lucy whispered, taking her finger out. "Assassin's Chamber Light!" she whispered again, making a small light appear that lead her way to her floor bed. She sighed and began playing with her little light ball magic thingy.
-Lucy didn't realize that it was 5:00 AM-
"I'm pretty sure its only 11:30 PM. I've only been playing with this ball for a couple minutes," Lucy whispered out loud again.
Natsu rolled over to the direction Lucy was. "She's still up? It's like 5:00 in the morning!" Natsu said to himself, opening his right eye all the way.
Lucy just sighed as she played with the ball that changed colors, making her smile a bit. She didn't even crack a yawn.
"You know it's 5:00 in the morning, right, Luce?" Natsu said.
Lucy jumped and lost focus of her ball, which made it disappear, making the whole entire room going dark again. "I can't sleep…" she said frowning.
"Oh, I see. Well, we're going to the guild in a couple of hours, so I suggest you go to sleep," Natsu said.
"Sorry, but I refuse," Lucy said, making Natsu crawl out of her bed and sit next to her behind the couch.
"What do you mean you refuse?" Natsu smirked, but Lucy could tell in his tone that he was going to do something.
"Sorry, already beat you to it!" Lucy said, knocking Natsu out and chuckling.
Natsu grabbed Lucy's hand, making her blush.
"Natsu, just so you know, I never sleep sometimes. It's part of being an Assassin's Mage," Lucy said, trying to let go of Natsu's grip.
Natsu woke up again and he shot back up. Then, he felt like he was on the ground holding something.
"Finally, you're awake. Now let go!" Lucy said, smacking him on the head.
"Ow! And sorry, it's just that you refused to go to sleep and I took your hand so you could fall asleep, but you beat me to it," Natsu said, rubbing his head.
"Assassin's Chamber Light," Lucy said, making the light ball appear in her hands. She looked at Natsu sadly.
"Wait, you use a different magic?" Natsu asked, whispering.
"Yeah…it's really cool and it made me stronger," Lucy said, putting the ball between Natsu and her.
"I see…so I guess you have a lot of magical power then?" Natsu asked.
"Yeah, this light ball doesn't waste my magical power. It restores, even with people around me, like you and Happy," Lucy replied.
"Oh cool!" Natsu said, smiling.
"Yeah, now go to sleep!" Lucy said.
"But I want to catch up with you, ya know?" Natsu said, grinning.
"Fine…" Lucy sighed in defeat.
"Luce, I really missed you…" Natsu said.
"Well, you would start to miss your friends after not seeing them for 2 years," Lucy said.
"That's true," Natsu smiled.
Lucy returned that same exact smile with a toothy grin of her own.
Natsu chuckled. "Seems like you've really rubbed off from me," he said.
"Well yeah, of course. I missed you being around and stuff. It was actually quite boring without you," Lucy said.
"Umm, Luce?" Natsu asked.
"What is it, Natsu?" Lucy replied.
"You how I said that you've changed a lot?" Natsu said.
"Yeah, what about it?" Lucy asked.
"Well, I think that you've become really pretty over the past 2 years. I only said what I said a couple hours ago so Happy wouldn't do his little "He liiiiiiiiiikes you" thing," Natsu replied.
Lucy giggled. "Happy's changed a lot since you left, Natsu. He still does that sometimes, but not often," she said, frowning a bit.
"What do you mean? Happy is Happy, right?" Natsu asked, concerned.
"You left a really big hole in his heart when you left, so I had to patch it up. Now look at him! He's stronger, just a tad less emotional, and for once, brave," Lucy said.
Natsu just let his mouth drop. "You turned him into this! Change him back!" Natsu yelled into Lucy's ear, making her squint her eyes in pain.
"I'm sorry, it's already been 1 year since he changed. He's going to be like this for a while until he gets used to you again!" Lucy yelled back.
"You're very cranky when you don't go to sleep," Natsu said, getting up and climbing into Lucy's bed and giving a loud sigh.
Lucy's light dissolved as she scowled at Natsu. "Believe me, you wish I did sleep so I couldn't kick your sorry ass!" she yelled inside her head.
-It is now 7:00 AM and Lucy is done taking a shower-
"Refreshed and not cranky!" Lucy almost yelled, scowling in Natsu's direction.
Natsu just yawned and stretched his arms out. "Sureeee," he said, getting off Lucy's bed and into the bathroom.
Lucy just sighed and got dressed. She then made her way to the kitchen to make breakfast.
-To Natsu-
Natsu looked at himself in the mirror in the bathroom, then noticed some pictures on the walls. "Whoa!" he exclaimed taking a picture off the wall and viewing it , "Me from 2 years ago? I looked so young!" he chuckled, looking at Gray who was topless, then at Erza, who he feared the most, and off to his 2 amazing teammates. "Lucy and Happy." he smiled. Natsu had missed the good old days when he would always find Lucy half asleep at the bar, or when he was always getting kicked in the face from breaking into Lucy's home.
Then, Natsu just walked out of the bathroom, looking at the cooking Lucy, and then the changed blue cat Happy.
-Over in the kitchen-
"Natsu, why don't you take a seat at the dining room table so you don't burn anything to ashes," Lucy chuckled, almost finishing her cooking.
Natsu laughed sarcastically and made his way to the dining room table.
"There we go, done!" Lucy said as she served herself pancakes, Natsu flame pancakes, and Happy a juicy fish. But first, she needed to wake Happy up, so she walked over to the cute blue cat that she took care of for the past 2 years. "Happppppppppyyy!" Lucy said, cutely almost, making Natsu choke.
"Just keep fishing and you'll find more…" Happy said in his sleep, making Lucy aww.
"Happy, fish is served! Hurry up before Natsu eats it!" Lucy said jokingly, making Happy fly to the dining room table and faceplant into the plate.
Lucy giggled and continued eating.
-After 10 minutes of cleaning dishes, getting dressed, and looking for Happy's fish, they finally managed to get outside and go to the guild.-
"Hiya everyone, we're back!" Lucy said as she made her way to the bar.
"So, I assume that Natsu is staying with you?" Erza said as Lucy took a seat next to her, nodding.
"Our wonderful couple is back again!" Mira said, giggling and making Lucy blush a bit.
"We're just friends!" Lucy whimpered, making the 2 girls laugh.
Lucy, Erza and Mira chatted away as Natsu just looked around the guild for some odd reason.
-Natsu then made his way to the bar where the 3 girls were, and sat beside Lucy. Then Happy came along.-
"Happy, I got a question," Natsu asked.
"Yeah?" Happy looked at him.
"Where is your scar?" Natsu said.
"Right here on my left paw," Happy replied, showing his paw.
"Oh, I see," Natsu said, then looked around to see that the whole entire guild had scars and had black shades lying around on the tables. Then, he looked at Mira, who had a scar on her left eye, almost the same thing as Lucy's. "She wasn't lying when she said that," he said to himself.
"Hey, Natsu," Lucy turned to face Natsu, smiling.
"What is it?" Natsu asked.
"We should reunite Team Natsu again!" Lucy said excitedly.
The guild overheard and cheered, agreeing with Lucy. "Team Natsu reunited!" they cheered happily.
Team Natsu just smiled.
Well, this seemed almost impossible to write, but I managed. I hope you all liked it, and please review! It would mean a lot to me! :D
Next chapter: Reunited at last!
And just so everyone knows, it's almost like a mafia since they have the dark shades, different clothing and the scars. How fun! XD
Hope to see you again!
Sincerely, Wolfsmiley :3
