The Little Blue Bird

There was a small routine that Salamander always did every night.

In the night of starry sky, the lizard man jumped over the buildings of Fiore City and crawled onto the walls like a lizard would. People who spotted him often cheered for him or taking his pictures, the superhero just waved back or did a funny victory pose. He continuously jumped and ran until he spotted a sign written 'Strawberry Street' that his mouth perked up into a huge grin. His nose twitched as the scent he's sniffling for was almost close. Just as he went past the sign-

"Oh, it's you again."

A young female voice halted his movement. Salamander landed on the nearest roof as he spotted a floating human in the skies of Strawberry Street.

That's right, there was a floating human in front of him. To put it precisely, a floating little girl. For someone who lived in Fiore City and was one of the superheroes, that sight was totally usual, even wide famous.

Friendly reminder that Fiore City had seven superheroes; one of them was Salamander. Each of them had a 'domain' to guard that corresponded to the regions of Fiore City. The seven heroes made a pact to protect their own domain and not to disturb another except when the hero in charge allows it. The pact was made under the government's watchful eyes to distribute their job properly and to avoid a fight between superheroes who were not in friendly-terms. Salamander's domain was Hargeon (where his house was), where he must protect it from villains or else.

However, Salamander had a small routine that made him went across another 'domain' every night, a region called Magnolia, to go to this Strawberry Street where it was guarded by the superhero who floated in front of him. The hero was famous for being the youngest and only female superhero. Her aerokinetic power was top-notch, and her famous name was Sky Maiden.

"Yo," Salamander greeted her with a salute, he could guess that behind her wing-shaped mask Sky Maiden rolled her eyes. She landed herself on a nearby pole smoothly. Her outfit was like that of a magical girl but decorated with wing-like patterns. Salamander often wondered if her spiky pink hair was her natural colour or a disguise like he did with his crimson hair.

"Sometimes I wonder why I allowed you for this," Sky Maiden sighed, "But stalking a young woman in the middle of the night is what I call pervert."

"I am not a perv," Salamander scoffed as he jumped past the wind user, who then manipulated the wind to send her flying to follow him. After a series of jumps, Salamander finally landed on a pole in front of a cosy house. The lamp on the house's second floor were still turned on, that meant the insider was still awake. Using his enhanced senses, Salamander locked his eyes to the window on the edge of the second floor, closed by a pink curtain. His nose stopped twitching, he had found what he searched for.

There was an angel behind that curtain.

"You're peeking at Lucy Heartfilia every night," Sky Maiden floated beside him with a cynical look, "Pervert."

"I said I'm not!" Salamander huffed, "I'm just checking on her every night to make sure she's okay," then he growled quietly, "It'd be easier if she lives in my domain."

"Just say you like her, you dodo," Sky Maiden retorted, "For a man with superpower, you have no guts."

"You say so?" Salamander asked cynically, "You think?" he raised his eyebrow to show his dismay.

"Just knock on her window then-Oh," out of the blue, Sky Maiden fell silent as she stared at the lizard man, then in a gesture of sympathy, lowered her head, "Sorry, I forgot."

"Accepted," Salamander huffed then turned his attention back to Lucy behind that curtain. The thought had crossed his mind ever since he started 'checking on her'. Rather than doing something like a pervert would- he just admitted that he's a pervert, didn't he- he'd rather knock on her door and bid her goodnight every night. Unfortunately, she'd probably hit him with the nearest frying pan she found in a similar fashion like she did in the cafeteria to the poor lizard. Exactly what you expected from someone with excessive fear of lizards who was approached by the 'King of Lizards'.

She couldn't even say 'Salamander' without stutters, tears, and shivers on her spine!

"By the way," Salamander turned his attention to the super girl suspiciously, "How do you know Lucy and her dumb fear of lizards?"

"She's famous of her beauty," Sky Maiden replied which Natsu couldn't agree more, "And of all Magnolia women who go Mamma Mia because of lizards, she's the worst."

"Point taken," Salamander shut his mouth then returned to his stalking- what, that was the truth. Rolling her eyes at the love-struck hopeless hero, Sky Maiden decided to give him some space as she flew to the sky, doing her night guard somewhere in Magnolia.

Salamander had to hold his urge to open that curtain and bid Lucy goodnight, he might even peek at her nightgown! Did she wear pajamas or just in undergarments? Was her bed comfy? Could he try to sleep there occasionally with Lucy? Wow, he's really a sicko pervert, wasn't he?

Shaking his head off his censored imagination, Salamander decided to wait until Lucy turned off the lamps and drifted off to sleep where she might dream of her knight in shining armor, even though her hero in reptilian outfit was waiting for her outside.

"This is your definition of somewhere?"

It was weekend, and just like Erza said, she had free tickets to go somewhere and invited her friends to go with her. It turned out 'somewhere' was Fiore City's amusement park, the Ryuuzetsu Land.

It's not like Gray didn't like it but he had gone there, countless times since his youth, "I mean, we're already college students for crying out loud," he explained. Levy laughed and brushed his words off, "Who cares? If we're going out with our friends, everything will turn out fun!"

"That's exactly my point," Erza nodded with a proud smile, who just wanted to go there because with that mature boobs on her chest there was a baby's brain on her head. Even Gray and Levy knew about it.

"Liar."

"The time is nigh, let's go have fun!" Erza obviously ignored them as she pointed her finger at the amusement's entrance with sparkling eyes. "Let's go Gray, Levy, Natsu, Lucy-" she stopped as she glanced at the last two on her sentence.

"Sorry for hitting you back then," Lucy apologized as she rubbed Natsu's right cheek where she landed her deadly bag blow in the cafeteria, "But you know I hate lizards," she pouted cutely.

"Nah, I'm good," Natsu grinned, enjoying the smooth sensation of Lucy's palm on his face, "I've got a thick skull," earning a giggle from the blonde's mouth. They stayed in that position for a while.

The three leftovers stared at the obvious chemistry with blank eyes and mouth shut.

"Y'know what? Let's just go inside."

"I agree."

"Let's have fun, three of us."

"Huh? Guys?" Lucy turned to her gloomy friends, so did Natsu, "Where are you going? Wait for us!"

True to Levy's words, everything turned fun when you had your friends around, especially the one who captivated your eyes and mind, for Natsu's case.

Being a natural beauty, it's usual for Lucy to attract the male visitors of the park. But fortune was not on their side because every time their eyes looked at her with flirtatious manner, they'd be greeted by growls and blazing glares from none other than Natsu, making them shudder. As for Levy, she's also attractive with her petite figure, but somehow every men who tried to flirt with her had goosebumps over their body as if they were pierced by an iron pole. Erza was a special case, she's terrifying in her own ways. Gray only cared about ice-related stands.

They went to roller coasters (Natsu always took a seat beside Lucy's), haunted house and labyrinth (Natsu cheated on Erza's lottery to be with Lucy), carousel, water rides, photo booths, and the last but not the least; the Ferris wheel.

"Can…we…just…take…a breath?" Lucy panted heavily and rhymed with Levy after they rode on seven different attractions in a row. Natsu, being the civilian form of Salamander, still had his flaming spirit while Gray replenished his strength by eating a shaved ice. As for Erza? Well, she's Erza.

"C'mon, Luce! There's still the Ferris wheel!" Natsu beamed as he grabbed Lucy's hand, playfully dragging her towards the wheel. "Have you ever felt tired?" Lucy asked in annoyance. "You just have to sit while enjoying the scenery on the wheel so what's the big deal?" Natsu asked back.

Lucy sighed in defeat, letting Natsu did whatever he wanted to her. She just had to ride in the Ferris wheel with this embodiment of energy, right? "Fine… make sure we get the nicest-Wendy, what are you doing?!"

"Ha?" noticing Lucy's sudden outburst, everyone turned their eyes to where Lucy's eyes directed at, which was not far away from their place. They saw something utterly risky as there's a little girl climbing on a tall tree, small leaves and branches got stuck in her long blue hair as she sat on a branch to reach out a balloon that got stuck in the tree. Like Lucy, the little girl let out a shriek of surprise, "L-Lucy?!"

"Eh, what?!" another girlish voice shrieked and everyone spotted another girl with her pink hair tied up in twintails, her hand rubbing circles on a little boy's back who was hiccupping in sadness under that tree. She cringed at the sight of Lucy, "Oh, um, hi Lucy-san!"

Before Natsu could ask how they knew each other, Lucy let go of Natsu's hand and approached those kids, she put her hands on her hip then called out to the girl on the tree, "Wendy, get down this instant! That's dangerous!"

"But Lucy-san, this is Wendy we're talking about," the pink-haired girl said.

"Hush you."

"W-wait! At least let me get it-" Wendy stuttered then let out a sigh of relief as her hand finally reached the balloon's tail. Lucy's friends finally reached them and gaped their mouths at how daring Wendy was to climb a tree thrice an adult's height. "Alright I'm done, no worries!" she beamed at Lucy who gave her a skeptical look. The little boy squealed in happiness; seemed like the balloon belonged to him.

"Holy crap!" the adults except Lucy screamed as Wendy freaking jumped off the tree, using her legs to slide down the tree with impressive balance then landed flawlessly on the ground. "See, no harm's done-"

She tripped. Over nothing. Then fell face first on the ground.

Lucy face palmed.
