"How do you get yourself kicked off a train.' She says."

Lucy was once again in her spirit Horologium.

"Why are you back in the clock?"

Natsu, who was just happy to be off the train, asked

"I am tiered already! Don't avoid the question!' She says."

While Lucy went to bathroom Natsu and Happy had done something that earned all three of them the boot off the train. Natsu and Happy didn't really mind but Lucy didn't want to walk all the way to the job.

"Lucy you're lucky your strong, otherwise I wouldn't even talk to you."

"Oh shut up Natsu.' She says."

Natsu glanced at at Happy, and burst out laughing.

"What? What is funny?' That's what Lucy says."
"I'll only tell you if you come out of the clock."

Natsu teased and Lucy glared at him but stayed inside the clock.

"Fine then you won't ever know what I am laughing about."

"Natsu a genius."

Happy said jumping up on to Natsu shoulder.

"Hahaha, you go that right Happy."

Natsu said smiling and laced his fingers behind his head. They walked that way for a while in total silence. And when night fell they made camp next to a small stream in hope of fish for a meal.

Lucy watched as Natsu and Happy fished and joked about everything that had happened. Her mind went back to when they first met and everything that had happened since then. Fairy Tail was her life but Natsu and Happy were her world. She would be dead several times over if it wasn't for them. Still something about how Natsu had looked this morning, it bugged her. It wasn't that he didn't have his scarf, although he did look different with out it, and it wasn't the scar on his neck. There was something in his eyes, something had startled the dragon slayer to the point that he had forgotten the scarf given to him by Igneel. What was it. Happys' joyful cry interrupted Lucy's thoughts.

"Natsu! I got one! And it's a big one!"

"Alright, Happy!"

Lucy watched as Natsu and Happy pulled a huge fish, one that was much to big for such a small stream.

"YAY FISH TONIGHT!"

As the boys argued over which was the best way to eat fish (raw or cooked) Lucy stared at them, with what she was sure was an idiotic grin, but neither Natsu or Happy noticed it. Finally they got to eat, after Happy agreed that Lucy couldn't eat raw meat, and that's when Lucy's brain decided it wanted to know more about Natsu's past.

"Natsu?"

She asked quietly.

"Yeah Lucy?"

Natsu's voice was muffled do the fact that him mouth was still full of fish.

"This morning I saw the scar on your neck."

Natsu looked up suddenly tense.

"What about it?"

"I was just wondering."

"What am I doing?" Lucy thought but pushed on.

"How did you get it?"

Natsu just stared at her.

"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to. I was just wondering."

Lucy squirmed uncomfortably.

"Yeah well I don't like to talk about it."

"Oh, okay."

They finished their meal in silence and Natsu was the first person to go to sleep. Lucy was about to fall asleep as well when she was tapped on the shoulder. It was Happy.

"Lucy as far as I know, Natsu got that scar from Igneel."
