Camping

" So…Tell me more about this soul thing? Who's is it and what happened? " Natsu asked Lucy as they walked to the train station.

" W-well the soul belongs to a young wizard…she was on a mission… a solo mission to defeat an evil mage who was stealing people's soul and shattering them, leaving the owners distraught and emotionless…once he was defeated she was to restore the souls he stole but…" Lucy stopped as she took a deep breath.

Natsu stopped, confused and looked at her.

" But..? " he pushed for the rest of the story while Happy flew over to Lucy. Their train had just arrived and was waiting for everyone to board.

" Lucy…? What's wrong? Was she close to you?" The exceed asked as they all boarded the train. Lucy shrugged.

" Something like that… I guess… but-". The blonde was cut off as a certain dragon slayer suddenly collapsed onto the train floor

" N-Natsu!? " She rushed to him as Happy sighed.

" He's okay… He just gets motion sickness… extreme motion sickness." Happy stated and the blonde sighed as she and Happy dragged Natsu to a seat and they threw him on the red cushioned seat.

" Doesn't he have anything for it?" Lucy asked

" Well, Wendy usually casts a Troia on him but she's on a job with Cana." he said

Lucy wondered if they're guild was as fun as everyone says. She wanted to join FairyTail when she was younger but her father forbade her.

" Are they your friends? From FairyTail? " Lucy asked as the sick dragon slayer groaned

" Yeah. Wendy is a dragon slayer like Natsu, but she's a sky dragon slayer. Theres also another one called Gajeel and he's an iron dragon slayer… He's got loads of piercings on his face… he doesn't even have eyebrows!" The blue cat exclaimed and he continued

" Theres also Mira who works at the bar and she super nice. She's a great singer too and she always makes me fish!" Happy's mouth watered at the thought of fish.

" Then theres Gray and Juvia… Gray is an ice mage and he always strips off no matter where he is or what he's doing. Him and Natsu always fight and then Erza stops them because they're scared of her" He laughed " …and Juvia is completely obsessed with Gray. She constantly clings to him… All she says is ' Gray -Samaaaa!' …She liiiiikes him~". Happy rolled his tongue as he said the last sentence while giggling

" And then the whole guild gets into a brawl and tables fly everywhere and then Master gets mad but then we all have fun after ….Lucy..?" Happy looked at Lucy as she stared out the window, a tear falling down her face.

" Sorry…" She wipes her tear away and she sniffles. " It just sounds so fun… to have loads of friends and be able to have fun with them…Ill never know what that is like…I don't have friends …"

Natsu groaned again but he managed a sentence " W-we're your f-friends L-Lucy.." Happy nodded his head in agreement.

" Yeah we're your friends Lucy!" Lucy patted Happy's head as another tear fell down her face

" T-thank you guys…" she sniffled again.

~ 2 hours later ~

The train arrived in Hargeon station. Lucy and Happy ,once again, dragged Natsu off the train and onto the platform.

" Natsu~ We're here!" Happy tugged on the fire wizards pink hair as he suddenly sprang to his feet

" FINALLY! I HATE TRAINS!….and anything that moves…" Natsu stretched and turned to Lucy

" It's getting late , we should go find somewhere to stay… Would you rather set up camp or go to an inn?" Lucy asked

" Camp! Then we can go fishing and catch fish! " Happy's eyes sparkled and Natsu chuckled

" Camp it is then. Let's go! " The dragon slayer started walking towards a forrest to find a place to fish and to set up camp as Lucy and Happy followed.

They kept searching the forrest , with Natsu running ahead, for somewhere to set up. Lucy spotted something glinting in the corner of her eye.

" Hey, there's a lake. We can camp over there." She suggested as Natsu and Happy ran off towards the lake. Lucy trailed over. As the two best friends fished away, Lucy stepped into a cave, in front of the lake and set down her sleeping bag. She climbed into it and lay on her stomach, watching Natsu and Happy play around.

~ a while later ~

" Hey Lucy, we caught and cooked some fish, you want some? " Natsu asked as he walked towards the cave

" Lucy? " He saw the blonde fast asleep. Natsu pulled her cover over her shoulders as he noticed her shivering. He lit a fire in his hand and sat next to her. Happy flew over and sat on Natsu's lap and curled up to sleep himself.

Natsu had just drifted off to sleep when he heard a loud crash. He sprung to his feet, letting Happy flop onto the floor.

" Natsuuuu! " Happy whined as he rubbed his eyes.

" I heard something… " Natsu looked out of the cave and looked back to Happy when he noticed something.

" Where's Lucy?! "
