Daichi's POV

The warm air felt nice. I hadn't been outside in a while, so the fresh air feels nice too. I enjoy comming out here on days like this, even if it is against my mom's rules. I wanted to go to the pretty garden, so I started the short walk over there, makeing sure I wasn't caught by anyone. I just got into the garden, and I didn't think anyone else was here, so I went and sat down on one of the benches, and closed my eyes, ad I guess I fell asleep, because I woke up to a girl with brown eyes and blonde hair looking at me.

"Hello," I said, letting her know I was awake now.

"Hi," she said, and she looked and sounded amazed, but that quickly changed to a serious fce, and a stern voice. "What are you doing out here? This garden is reserved for members of the Heartfilia family only."

"Then what are you doing here? If this is for the Heartfilia's only, aren't you tresspasing too?" I asked, sitting up. She looked at me, and I could tell she was mad.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia, I am a member of the family, and therefor am permited to be here. You on the other hand are not. If you leave now, I won't speak of this ever again, but if you stay, I'll scream."

"What will screaming do?"

"It will get the guards over here."

"Oh, well, could you not do that anyways?"

"Only if you leave."

"But I don't want to leave."

"Okay then, is that your final answer?"

"Yes."

"Suit Yourself." She took a deep breath in, and then, she screamed at the top of her lungs. I had to cover my ears, then, when she stopped, she started shouting, "Guards! Guards! Come quick! Help me! Guards!" I got up and ran away, being careful not to be seen. While I was escaping, the guards reached her and asked her what was wrong. I heard her reply to, "I-I thought I saw someone, I got scared, I thought other people wern't suppose to be here. I smiled, and left, thinking about how she had just covered my escape. Maybe that was her idea to begin with, and she was trying to keep me from getting caught if someone else came.

Lucy's POV

I watched the boy leave, hopeing he got out without actually being caught. I could tell my mom would be out soon, I mean, she always came out here around this time. So I went back to my room, just as the guards had asked. I got out a notebook, and I started writting something, thinking of what my mom had said the night before. I wrote on the paper, 'Where are you my prince?' Underneath that, I wrote somrthing else, 'Where are you my dragon?' Just as I had finished putting the notebook back, mom walked into the room.

"What are you doing?" she asked

"I was writing." I replied

"A note to a prince."

"What prince?"

"My Prince."

"Was that all you were writing?"

"No ma'am, I also wrote another note."

"May I ask who the other note was for?"

"Sure, It was a note to my dragon."

"Well what did you put in your letters?"

"I asked them where they are, but I'll only send one"

"Why?"

"Because it will be to the prince or the dragon that I marry, like you married daddy"

My mother smiled and gave a little laugh. I looked at her in suprise, and cocked my head to the side, telling her I was confused. She hugged me and told me I would understand when I was older. The boy kept coming again every day, but shortly after that day, my mother died. A few days after my mother died, the boy was banned from ever setting foot on Heartfilia property again, because my dad saw him in the garden. I sat at my desk and began to write a letter

Dear Mom,

I could hear her crying, his mother I mean. She is so sad, and I can't help but feel as though it is my fault that he isn't here anymore. I hope your having fun up there, and I wonder if it's cloud loungeing and watching me and dad. I wonder, did you see when I tried to talk dad out of sending him away, Daichi was a good friend after all. Dad won't listen to me, and he never has, so I don't know why I thought this would be any different. If you can see me, and you can read this, would you please send us a sign that your okay?

I stopped writing, I was finished with the letter, and waiting for a sign. After a minute or two, I gave up. Sighing, I stood up, and folded the letter. I placed it in a pretty envolope, which I place in a box, and I went over to by bed, falling into it when I did reach it. It seems that a soon as I closed my eyes, the sign came. I heard a book fall off of my shelf, and I could tell it had opened. I sat up and saw my note book on the floor, with a piece of folded paper beside it. I un-folded the paper and smiled when I saw what was on it. It was my note, the one that read 'Where are you my dragon?'

Natsu's POV

Me and dad were walking around Fiore, but he wanted to stop for a while. We stayed in the same place for a long time. One day though, I woke up to find Igneel gone. "Dad, where did you go?" I said to no one. I was completely alone, but I did search for him. I looked all over for him, but I couldn't find him. Finally, I came across a big building in the center of a town named Magnolia. It had the words fairy tail written on it, and I remembered dad telling me about the wizard guild with the same name. I figured that was them, so I went inside to see if they had seen my dad. When I got inside, there were alot of people there. They were acting all crazy, but there were alot of kids. One of the people, and old man, saw me standing there, and he must have known I was out of place. His hair was weird, like, it was all on the sides of his head, none on the top, and he had a funny mustach. "Hello," he said to me, but he sounded really friendly, so I said hi back.

"I'm Master Makarov, the leader of the fairy tail guild, but most of them just call me gramps."

"My name's Natsu, and I was wondering if any of you have seen my dad."

"Well what's his name, and what does he look like?" I thought for a moment about how to explain.

"His name is Igneel. He's really big, and his scales are red and..." I got cut off by one of the people there. She looked a little older than me. She had long white hair that was pulled into a pony tail and dark blue eyes. She looked like sje was going to a dark guild any second, and her voice was accusing.

"What kind of person is this Igneel anyways, and how come he's got scales?"

"Igneel is a dragon, and he has scales because dragons have scales instead of skin."

"He's a dragon? You know there's no such things as dragons, right?"

"But he is a dragon, and they are real, and I'm a dragon slayer."

"Get real, you can't just make up stories and expect us to believe you."

I could feel my temurature rising, and I knew I was sending out small flames, but I didn't realy care.

"That's enough Mira," the master said.

"Yes master," said the girl whose name was apparently Mira. She gave me an evil looking glare before walking away. I talked to the master for a while, and ended up joining the guild. Afterwards, I made tons of friends, and these people started to feel like my family. I still never forgot about Igneel though, and I never would, not for as long as I lived.
