Lucy's Thoughts

by howlters

Ever since Fairy Tail returned from the beach, Lucy had always thought of Natsu as friends. But all that changed when a certain scene between them two happened that Levy had brought up... What are Lucy's feelings for Natsu now? Meanwhile, an evil dragon wishes to destroy the world, and five hereos are needed! Who are these hereos? NaLu, and few OC's.

2. The Statue

A/N: Hi! I'm sorry I didn't mention this before, but this is my first story and also this took place after ova 4 in the anime Fairy Tail. I suggest watching it first, but it's your choice! I won't force you, don't worry. Also, I forgot to put this on the summary, but some of you might have found out that it is rated T. I rated it T, for just in case. I'm quite not sure if I want to add language or violence, I might, but I'm not going to guarantee it. I also will try to update new chapters, because even I can be busy sometimes, lol. Read on!

Natsu: Yeah!

Lucy: Wait, Natsu! We aren't supposed to appear in the author's note! It's rude to interrupt—

ChocoCookiesRule134: Um… okay? Anyway, enjoy!

Chapter Two: Journey to Where, Exactly?

Natsu's POV

Natsu ran and ran, straight towards the forest, Happy not far behind. Lucy was still running and trying to catch up to the two of them, who were waiting for her.

"Not… Fair…" Lucy panted, as she caught up to them. "You… Need… To… Wait… For… Me…"

"Fine, but hurry up, Lucy!" Natsu hollered.

"Sheesh! I'm ready now, you didn't have to be all complaining or upset…" Lucy grumbled. Natsu beckoned for her to come, and Happy said, "Lucy, we need to hurry! Please?"

Lucy didn't look too happy, but she nodded slowly. "I'll hurry if you two will slow down."

Natsu grinned. "Fine with me! Let's GO!" He pumped up his fist into the air and continued running forward. Happy followed, and Lucy was catching up now.

"Where are we going exactly?" Lucy asked. "We'll have to come back soon and Wendy told me not to get lost!"

"We're going somewhere, Luce!" Natsu shouted back. "Just be patient, okay?"

"Aye…" Happy said. "Just this once."

Lucy sighed, but she didn't say anything. She kept quiet and followed Natsu's direction. Natsu smiled to himself. I'm sure she'll like it. I'm very sure.

After a few more distances, Natsu halted. Happy slowed down and dropped to the floor. "We're here." Natsu mumbled, clutching his scarf tightly.

Natsu could hear Lucy running towards them both. "Guys, you really need to slow down!" Lucy called angrily. But, when she had took her place besides Natsu, she gasped.

"Wow." Lucy said, clearly in awe.

Natsu could understand why she was so amazed. Before them lay a stone sculpture of a beautiful, enormous dragon that seemed to be roaring in the distance. If it was alive, it would roar and it would be extremely beautiful, Natsu thought to himself.

"Oh. My. Gosh…" Lucy gaped. "How… How did you know this was here?" She stepped forward to touch the stone dragon's rough scales.

"Dunno." Natsu said honestly. "I was walking through the village and saw this! Amazing, huh?" He asked Happy, who nodded and said, "Aye, sir!"

"I wonder who carved this?" Lucy asked. There was no plaque or anything that told them who had designed the sculpture.

"Whoever did it was a good artist," Happy mused.

"Yeah…" Natsu said quietly. He had a strange feeling that he saw the dragon before, but he didn't know why. Igneel wasn't this dragon though, that's for sure, Natsu figured.

Lucy was still circling the statue for any note of the sculptor. "Oh, look guys!" She finally said, pointing to the dragon's talons.a

Natsu and Happy looked at each other, confused.

"I've found the plaque," Lucy said impatiently. "Now, if you excuse me, I would like to read it!"

Natsu and Happy moved out of the way, but Natsu was trying to find the plaque. "Um, Lucy? I don't see any plaque on any of the talons… Are you sure it's there?"

"Yes, I'm very sure!" Lucy scolded him. "Can't you see it? It's there on the dragon's left hand, third talon. It's very noticeable, so you should see it. It's the color of light blue, by the way."

Happy flew over to the dragon's left hand, third talon, and said, "Lucy! I see no plaque! Are you losing your mind or something?"

Sure enough, when Natsu stomped over, he couldn't see anything either. "Yeah, Luce, I only see stone and this weird white stuff… Wait, are those bird droppings?!" He grimaced, and backed away slowly.

"Are you sure?" Lucy asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow. "Well, I see it perfectly clearly. Anyway, since you can't read it, I will."

"It says that Haruno Suzuki designed the sculpture. That's all, but… Isn't it strange? There isn't any year that says Suzuki sculpted it or anything." Lucy said, confused.

"And why are you the only one that can read it?" Happy complained.

"I don't know! I just don't… Strange…" Lucy muttered.

Haruno Suzuki… Natsu thought. "I've heard of that name before!"

"You have?" Happy said, surprised.

"What? Who is Suzuki then?" Lucy asked eagerly.

"Erm…" Natsu thought, scratching his head, "I actually have no idea!"

"THEN WHY SAY ANYTHING IN THE FIRST PLACE, BAKA?!" Lucy yelled.

Natsu shrugged. "It just sounds familiar, don't blame me for remembering something!"

"Anyway, let's go back. They'll probably be waiting for us!" Happy said.

"Yes, let's," Lucy agreed. "But this time I get a head start!"

Natsu, however, didn't join Lucy and Happy arguing. Instead, which was very unusual of Natsu, thought of who that Haruno Suzuki was.

A/N: And that's Chapter two! Thanks, and feel free to review! (OMG, THAT RHYMES!)

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy: Sayonara!

ChocoCookiesRule134: Have a nice day!
