CHAPTER 1
"Natsu, you dummy! Not there!" Happy sighed exasperatedly as he watched the idiot he calls his friend wander off for the nth time.
After their reunion last night, they thought it'd be best to sleep the night away before they head back to where most of his friends are. Natsu was confused as to why Happy was adamant not to tell him exactly where they were going, but he decided to push aside his confusion. He's Happy after all, and Natsu trusts him with his life.
This effectively caused Natsu to snap out of the trance he was in and looked at Happy like the exceed have two heads. "Who'd you call dummy?!"
"You of course, now this way please, idiot." Happy then flew towards the other direction as he ignored Natsu's wail of protest. "Why'd you run off like that? It's very unlike you." He continued.
Much to his surprise, Natsu grinned as he placed his hands behind his head, "It isn't every day you come across those creatures, little buddy."
And it's true, aside from Edolas, he doubts he would be able to encounter a place which held dinosaur-like creatures.
His reasoning caused Happy to snicker, dropping his bossy aura and lowering his altitude a bit until it's safe to release his wings and sat atop of Natsu's head.
As expected, being in the middle of nowhere hindered their ability to reach civilization at a fast pace.
But after what felt like eternity for the both of them, they can finally see a part of the meadow that seemed to be illuminated by what they thought as House Lights. And much to their delight, it looks like the place is now just less than kilometer away from where they are.
They exchanged glances, excitement evident on their faces.
"Let's go, buddy!" Natsu laughed, lifting Happy away from his head and tucking him under his arm, much to the cat's dismay. He of course protested, but the fire dragon slayer just shrugged it off, explaining that it would make them faster because he wouldn't have to worry Happy falling off of his head while he ran.
Neither of them noticed tiny balls of light guiding them throughout their journey, though. Nor the fact that those lights seemed to exchange information through whispering.
The both of them, or rather, Natsu, bolted through the knee-high grass that's starting to diminish in height as he passed.
They reached a cliff in no time at all, stopping Natsu dead on his tracks, eyes gawking. At the bottom of the cliff stood a town just a bit smaller than Magnolia that appears to be golden. Literally.
The golden balls that scattered along their way earlier, now filled the entire place, and it was almost pleasantly blinding. "Woah.", Happy whispered in amazement, while Natsu just stared, eyes wide like saucers and mouth hanging slightly open. "C'mon. Fly us down there, buddy." Natsu kindly asked, in which Happy complied eagerly.
The houses were neither gigantic nor extravagant. In fact, all of it looks the same to their perspective, with just different structures sprinkled here and there that serves as shops that sells products just enough to supply the needs of the citizens.
Happy placed Natsu carefully on the ground, and they noticed the lack of civilization in this place. Very few people strolled around the streets. Natsu glanced at where the sun is, eyebrows shooting up in confusion as he saw it just starting to set.
Oddly enough, his nose can't seem to work very well than it normally does. It nearly feels like they were in another world.
Happy continued to fly alongside Natsu, who walked around at a leisurely pace.
That is, until the pink – haired mage ran into somebody.
"…Natsu?"
As soon as the said guy recognized the angelic voice that spoke his name, he let his instincts dictate what had to be done.
And thank heavens, it decided to hug the girl tightly, his tongue rolling off the name he knew just as much as he knew his own, "Lucy!"
"By the way, why were you shocked when you saw this place, Happy?" Natsu questioned as he gobbled food after food, piling the plates on his right after.
Happy swallowed his fish before answering, "This is my first time seeing it, actually. And I just know the way, don't ask why, because I don't really know either."
Natsu just nodded in understanding, turning his attention to Lucy. His lips curving into a smile automatically the moment his eyes laid on the beautiful blonde. "So, you got any idea where we are or how we got here, Luce?"
The look Lucy wears shocked him. Not only did the celestial mage not return his smile, she also looked as if she was grieving, hurt, and even looked a little lost. Surprisingly enough, along with the negative emotions, he also caught sight of what he thinks as happiness. "Lucy?" Natsu uttered lowly, slightly unsure of what to do.
"Yes, Natsu?" She answered him, not even changing her expressions. With this, he repeated his question again.
Lucy's lips lifted up a little as she replied, "Ah, that's because during the fight, we were suddenly transported here. There were some other people from other guilds too, do you want to see them?"
The fire dragon slayer's eyebrows rose in confusion, "Wat d'ya mean fight? You mean my fight with Sting? How does it have any connection to other people?"
After hearing his statement, Lucy Heartfilia unconsciously mirrored her best friend's reaction, "What…do you mean? Sting?" She uttered, voice mixed with uncertainty and bewilderment.
"Lucyy, my fight with Sting and Rogue, remember?" He said, as if trying hard to get the girl remember the events that happened before arriving at the strange, but breathtaking place. "Oh! I was fighting them with Gajeel, though I don't know where that metal head went off to."
Lucy's eye widened at the said situation, as if recalling it, then chuckled a bit, "You pushed him off the arena, Stupid."
"Really? Didn't remember that tiny detail." He said, grinning widely as Happy snickered at his friends.
The initial question was soon forgotten as they conversed about random things, time passing quickly as they left the restaurant and arrived at a house.
"Why're we here, Lushi?" The exceed sitting atop Natsu's shoulder asked.
Lucy didn't answer the feline, and instead just opened the door. The celestial spirit mage entered the cozy house, both her companions following cautiously.
What they saw was completely unexpected though, "WHAT?!"
