Chapter Two: "Where do you think you're going?"

"I can't believe it… this is the as in 'the' Fairy Tail Bar?" Lucy asked with sparkling wide eyes. She has read and heard a lot about the famous Fairy Tail Bar, but she never have dreamt of seeing it in person.

"Yeah, this is home." Before Lucy could ask if Natsu lived at Fairy Tail, he kicked open the doors and yelled at the top of his voice, "I'm back!" There was a mixture of responses.

"Oi, cinderblock head keep it down will you?" A young gentleman asked with a disgusted look on his face. He had jet black hair and blue eyes.

"What did you say droopy eyes?"

"Do you need a hearing test?" The gentleman approached Natsu, "I said keep it down!"

"Like hell I would after a perfect example you're giving!"

"I wouldn't be shouting if you just open your ears moron!"

"Do you want a fight ice boy?"

"Now we're talking fire breath!" In seconds the bar became chaotic, one after another someone else joined in the brawl.

Quietly, Lucy peeked inside the bar. The scene was chaotic: bar stools, tables, fists, legs, and bodies were flying everywhere. "Hi there, why don't you come in? We might be a rough bunch, but I promise they won't bite you." Lucy looked up to the source of the sweet voice, and saw a beautiful young lady with long silver hair. She had a smile on her face and was looking at Lucy with striking blue eyes. "Hi my name's Lucy."

"Welcome Lucy, I'm Mirajane the barmaid of Fairy Tail. Come with me and I'll serve you a drink. No need to be shy." Mirajane took Lucy's hand and lead her to the counter. The atmosphere changed when Lucy's presence was noticed. "Now, what would you like?"

"I'm not sure, what would you recommend?"

"You should try the Hot 'n Spicy Apple Cider." Natsu barged into the conversation. "You look like someone who likes things spicy, eh Lucy?"

"Are you trying to have her intestines cooked? A young lady should try the D'Ice (D meaning double) Shaving Fruit." The gentleman Natsu had a brawl a few minutes ago joined in. Turning his attention to Lucy, "I'm Gray the ice sculptor in Magnolia city, nice to meet you." He gave a little bow.

"How's turning her into a snowman any better?" Natsu muttered under his breath, "Like she cares who you are."

"Do you have something to say slanted eyes?"

"I think you're the one who needs a hearing test!" And once again, the two were in a fight.

"Never mind those two. They never got along even through childhood."

"Sorry, I'm just not used to the commotion."

"So a recommendation… for you I would suggest a Chocolate 'n Strawberry Swirl."

"That sounds good."

"Coming right up. So Lucy, I hope you don't mind me asking. Are you from around here?"

"Yes, I was born and raised in Magnolia City. It's a beautiful city."

"I agree, peaceful too besides the ruckus Fairy Tail makes. Here you go."

"Thank you, wow looks delicious." The drink was in a tall glass and filled with a chocolate and strawberry shake swirling around each other. It was garnished with whip cream and a little pink umbrella.

"Hope it tastes good as it looks." Lucy nodded her head after taking a sip.

"Mirajane, how did you end up being a barmaid? You're so beautiful that you could be a model."

"My, thank you for those kind words. I admit of modelling a bit on the side."

"Incredible."

"How I became a barmaid well that's a different story. A long time ago my siblings and I stumbled into Magnolia city, the owner of the Fairy Tail bar welcomed us and made space for us into his home. To repay for his kindness my siblings and I help out."

"That's nice, what do your siblings do?"

"I have a younger brother, he's a chef. Right now he's away doing some training, but if you come around while he's working I'm sure he'll be glad to give you some samples of his cuisine."

"Thanks Mirajane, but I can pay."

"Nonsense, you're part of the family now."

"So what do the other siblings do?"

"Well, I did have a little sister. She did the errands and shopping for the bar."

"Oh no, don't tell me she passed away. Oh Mirajane, I didn't mean…"

"Don't worry about it. After all the regulars in the Fairy Tail Bar have secrets, and that's what makes us tight like a family. We support one another and have a sort of understanding." Mirajane patted Lucy's head. "I have other customers to serve."

"It was a pleasure in meeting you."

"Likewise, and please come again soon."

Lucy waved farewell to Mirajane and to a few people she acquainted before she exited the Fairy Tail bar. Natsu followed after her, "So how did you like the bar? Pretty awesome right?" He asked.

"It exceeded my expectation! It was wonderful!" She paused before continuing, "Thank you Natsu for today."

"Don't mention it. Where do you live? I'll walk you home."

"You've already done so much for me… I couldn't possibly expect you to walk me home…"

"Are you sure, Lucy? What if you get caught up those guards again?"

"I highly doubt I will, not after the beating you gave them earlier."

"I still don't understand, why were they so persistent in taking you? And where?" There was a long pause of silence. When awkwardness followed the prolonged silence, Natsu was going to apologize for being nosy, and say it wasn't his business but Lucy spoke.

"You might find out one day." Lucy's passive answer left Natsu even more confused, but he didn't push the subject.

"Well, if you ever need me. You can find me at the blacksmiths or at Fairy Tail. You remember where the blacksmiths is?"

"Of course, you're tour was very helpful."

"Great, so I guess this is good bye." Natsu held out his hand to shake Lucy's.

"Alright, it's been a pleasure in meeting you. Good day." Lucy hesitated to grab Natsu's hand, as though it was her first time shaking a hand. She gave Natsu a smile before walking away.

"See you soon Lucy!" Natsu called out. He started walking the opposite direction, wandering why he said something ridiculous. How was he for certain he'll see Lucy again? They didn't make any future plans. His mind started to be filled with thoughts and questions on Lucy, who was she? Where did she lived? Why is her lifestyle so different? A female voice snapped him back to reality, "And where do you think you're going?"
