Why was it that when she had woken up Lucy had felt different? Why was it that when she roamed the streets she felt like skipping? Why was it that instead of pushing the street sellers away she smiled and greeted them with a warm "hello"? Why was it that as she passed them all of a sudden noticed all the wanted posters for the salamander? She didn't know. She felt happy this morning. She felt... Special. She fell a lot of things actually. She felt sorry for the salamander without a home. She felt glad she survived that nights... Trauma. She felt confused on what to do next. He did tell her that he'd be watching her... Which felt weird. But she didn't care about it.

Wait? Did Lucy just say she didn't care if she was being stalked by a criminal... A murderer? Ugh she's gone soft! Far too soft! Who cares? She was literally skipping down the streets familiarising herself with the cobbled paths of the Hargeon maze. She couldn't help but refuse to go down the street where she was ambushed. Where she saw the salamander.

Lucy was just being stupid! It wasn't like the street was haunted... Right?

Lucy eventually decided enough was enough! She stomped down the street she was in, marched past the restaurant peeking in to see Virgo serving a couple their meal with her formal tone. Lucy couldn't help but smile at the girl. She seemed happy. After a while of admiring the waitress' satisfactory life she remembered that she was here to prove to herself that this place wasn't strange in the slightest. As she strolled down the path she felt a huge weight off her shoulders. But one look into the alley way and the weight crashed back down onto her.

She saw the police around a pale body on the ground. Pictures were being taken by newspaper people and the detectives were around examining the body for an ID. Lucy could smell fresh ashes and smoke in the alley way. She suddenly remembered something. How did the flames follow his hands? No one could do that right? No normal human being.

"'Scuse me miss but do you have a reason to be here?" Lucy looked up... And up... And up... And up... And up. How tall was he? Wait that wasn't why she was looking up... She couldn't anyone in front of her. "Miss?" Lucy abruptly noticed the voice was coming from below so she let her gaze fall to the floor of the alley way. A minuscule man stood there raising a brow at her as she stood and stared

Snapping out of her trance she said. "Oh sorry sir... No I was just wandering what happened?" Of course apart from the fact that she was sorry she was completely and most certainly lying. She DID have a reason to be here. And she flippin' saw the thing! She knew what happened!

"Ah well..." The man said scratching the back of his head. "You see there's been another murder."

Lucy decided to start her acting and looked at the small male with a dramatically shocked look. "There has!? You haven't caught the one responsible huh?" She asked slightly worriedly.

"I'm afraid not. But! We have our best detectives on it so we will find the bloodthirsty murderer soon!" Lucy nodded in response, biting her lip trying not to object to the 'bloodthirsty murderer,' and turned on her heel to leave.

"Mr Dreyar! We found an ID!" Lucy heard a girls voice calling. She sounded about her age.

"Ok Scarlet, Fullbuster! Who did the j*** kill this time?" The small man who seemed to be called mr Dreyar called back.

"His name is Bora woods. He was a businessman from the Titan company. He was eventually kicked out for threatening clients in to buying some products." It was a boys voice this time. Wait why did she care? Was gender important to her for some reason now? Anyway, that was the last she her of the conversation before leaving.

Lucy decided that she would get coffee at a small café before packing her stuff to leave the hotel. It was almost the end of summer and she wanted to visit fairy academy quickly to see if she could apply for a entry. If not what would she do? She hadn't thought of it but what would happen if she wasn't good enough? Go back the her papa's house to marry an unwanted (to her) stranger who came from a different business? NO WAY! She wasn't going back to that place... EVER!

Finding a coffee shop at the corner of the mall Lucy finally settled down to a warm melted chocolate cake with a latte to wash it down. As she took a spoon full of her delectable chocolate cake she sighed in delight allowing the warm sponge to assault her taste buds. She was in her heaven as she sipped on her bitter sweet liquid of confectionary deliciousness. For the next 15 minutes she had been released from her worry about the pink-haired boy. She was released from even thinking about him. She was chilling with the clock. Nothing to worry abou-. Wait! Wasn't it half-past two she needed to exit her apartment by! She looked at the clock hanging on the wall. 2:15!

"Shoot!" She said as she shovelled the rest of her chocolate cake into her mouth and swallowed. She let the waterfall of the rest of the latte pour down her throat burning her stomach. She didn't care. She was going to be late! "Shoot shoot shoot shoot shoot~." She sang as she bolted towards the hotel.

Pushing past yet another salesman she silently apologised and left the street in complete chaos. As she entered the hotel she checked the time... Five minutes!? She wasn't going to make it! She twitched about making people stare at her as if she had horns and a tail I. The lift. The second the door opened on floor 25 she was out and into her room... It was tidier than she left it. In fact her suitcase was on the bed and seemed to be ready to explode. There was an orange post-it note on top of the case in extremely messy handwriting and awful grammatical errors written all over it. Lucy was actually surprised she could read it. It said-

DERE MIS

TANK YU FOR NO TELIN TEH POLIS!

FRM KRIMANEL

Lucy eventually figured it said

DEAR MISS

THANK YOU FOR NOT TELLING THE POLICE!

FROM CRIMINAL

Lucy smiled as she lifted her suit case. She noticed it weighed more than it was supposed to. Far more! She shrugged it off and left just on time to see a man in black walk in. He looked like a body guard of sorts but he expertly redressed the beds and adjusted his sunglasses on his nose. She noticed him serving a family their dinner. His name tag said his name was Mr Capricorn. It sounded very formal when no first name was given.

A 'ding' sounded through the lift as it hit the ground floor and the doors opened. Lucy walked out dragging her overweight suitcase along side her (technically behind her because of its weight). Lucy joined the busy thoroughfare as she hurried down the walkways to the train station.

Lucy made it her decision to take the last train so that she wouldn't be bothered by stupid perverted men thinking they could steel a chicks heart by getting them drunk. She really and truly hated those people but there was no stopping them! But the train she was getting was at 11:30. Late but worth it.

She made her way to the restaurant she ate from last night. Virgo her last waitress, Lucy spotted, was serving someone else. Lucy's heart sank to he bottom of the ocean seeing this. She wanted so badly to talk to the pink haired girl again. Too bad. Walking in Lucy was met by a ginger haired boy with glasses.

"Why hello there beautiful~!" The boy smiled.

Taken aback Lucy only just spluttered out, "a table for one pl-"

"Why don't I make that a table for two? Just you and me, on our first date?" Lucy felt she was seriously being messed with now.

"Uh... um I... I-" thankfully Lucy was saved by a very familiar voice.

"Big-brother Loki! Come here and serve this table... I'll serve this lady." Reluctantly Loki, the waiter who was oh so interested in her, walked away only to start flirting with the lady who was at the table. Her husband wasn't happy.

Sep 19Lucy let out a sigh of relief as Virgo walked over to her. "Ah, thank you so much!"

"It's ok... Big-brother Loki does that to all the hot girls who come here." Lucy felt a warm tint of pink brush onto her cheeks at Virgo complimenting on her looks. She never liked it when she was in a family reunion. Her aunts and uncles would smile and comment on how she 'stretched out over the year' or the she was 'just as beautiful as always.' She HATED it and never knew what to say back.

"Um thanks? A-a table for one please?" She answered plainly. Virgo nodded and brought her to the small table in the isolated corner. She secretly loved that corner. After being in it last night she absolutely loved that corner.

"I'll come back when your ready to order miss"

"Um please... Call me Lucy." Lucy said smiling sweetly.

"Yes... Lucy." Virgo bowed and left.

Sitting back Lucy felt like kicking of her shoes, put her bare feet up on the table and sleep. Unfortunately that would not be appreciated by the manager so she rejected that idea. She reluctantly read the menu and found she wasn't too hungry. She decided to just have a main course today. As she set down the menu she counted backwards from three.

"3...2...1"

"Lucy? Are you ready to order?" Lucy smiled in victory at her accuracy as she looked up to see the pink haired waitress.

"Yes Virgo... Can I have a macaroni cheese and wedges please?"

"No starter or desert?" Virgo asked tilting her head cutely.

"No I'm not as hungry as last time." Lucy giggled.

"Ok and your drink?"

"Some diet coke please." Virgo nodded jotting something in her note book down and left without a word.

Lucy settled down into her comfortable chair and began to think. Of course about her story. Nothing else. Nope. Nothing! Ok fine! She WAS thinking about her story but she eventually slipped into thinking about a certain pink haired boy. It was like he haunted her memories. If she was thinking about her book she was writing, he would be in the back of her mind. If she was thinking of the cliffhanger in the last chapter she read of her favourite book, there he was! If she thinking about what she would do on the train journey to Mongolia, he was tugging on the end of her conscience begging for attention. He was ALWAYS on her mind.

A clink on her table told her that her diet coke had arrived and she looked up to thank the waitress. Instead there was a ginger haired boy smiling seductively down at her.

"Tha-thank you." Lucy said slightly confused at the sudden switch of waiters.

"For you my beauty... Anything."

"U-um"

"Let's take this chance to get married and have 42 babies together!" (I never get this... It's weird '~')

"Wha!" Lucy screamed backing into her sofa.

"Big-brother Loki!" Virgo said slightly irritated but keeping it hidden under her emotionless face. "There is someone at the door. You may serve them... I will stay with her."

Relief washed over Lucy as the creepy pervert sulked off to serve another costumer.

"Thanks again Virgo!" Lucy sighed allowing her tense muscles to release.

"He doesn't give up." Virgo smiled slightly "Your meal will be ready soon Lucy I will go and get it." She left without another word being spoken.

Lucy sat up as her mind unconsciously drifted to 'thinking of salamander, the serial killer who showed mercy on me,' mode. Again questions, some that had been asked in her brain for ages and some completely new, piled onto her. Who was he? Why did he murder? Why did he show her mercy? What happened before he started murdering? She stopped at that question. That answer she had to get. That question was now etched into her mind and wouldn't move until she got the answer.

"Lucy?"

She didn't move she just thought about him.

"Lucy!? Are you rejecting me?"

Thinking~.

"LUCY?"

Lucy suddenly tore out of her trance and into the real world. She looked up at the cute waitress and then down at her table. There lied a beautiful platter of macaroni cheese which decorated delectable wedges. "Thank you Virgo. I was... Um... Thinking about something."

"Enjoy your meal Lucy." Virgo said bowing slightly, and leaving.

The smell of macaroni cheese and wedges wafted through Lucy's nostrils allowing pleasure and to take over her and the rest of her evening was spent in that very restaurant with and appetising meal filling her up.

After paying for her evening meal and leaving a tip for Virgo (not Loki) Lucy left with a sigh of relief. She was walking past the alley where she met the mysterious salamander when she heard a click behind her. It wasn't of a stone but of footsteps. Many footsteps. The louder and heavier the footsteps got the more Lucy froze. That was until she felt a strong and raspy breath on her neck. It was then she started running.

High heels where the worst! Why did she have to be wearing HIGH HEELS at a time like this. It was a mystery. She felt a cramp begin to ease into her toes after each stride she took. Turning a sharp corner Lucy spotted an alley way straight ahead. This was he only chance! She embraced the chance gladly noticing the gangsters hadn't caught her yet. She dove into the alley way at the last minute hearing the sounds of laughter and heavy footsteps gaining on her. Finding a shadowy place she hid there.

"Huh? Where'd that chick go?" A voice sounded.

"I dunno boss... An' she was a pretty one." Another moaned in annoyance.

"She can't 'ave gone far... Why don't we split up boss?" A third voice suggested.

"Yeah let's do that... Ok you an' you... that way! Com' 'ere with me Josh!" The first one ordered. Lucy huddled into the shadow even more. She didn't know who was going where. She didn't even know what they looked like but she knew they were trouble. She saw two dark silhouetted figures march past the alley way. She breathed out a breath she noticed she was holding as they left her sight. Lucy attempted to get up but suddenly her shoulder hit a bin lid that was lying lopsided on an over flowing bin. The bin lid fell to the floor making a loud CLANG echo through the narrow walls of the alleyway.

"Wot was that?" (I absolutely love this accent) the boss shouted in surprise and happiness.

"Dunno boss but it came fr'm o're there!" Josh smiled in victory pointing to Lucy's hiding place. Lucy knew there was no point in hiding now. She crawled out and staggered to her feet to face her bandits.

"Oi! Benjamin! Chris! (I know! Great names!) Get o're 'ere! We foun' 'er!" The boss yelled over his shoulder not taking his eyes of the, as usual, damsel in distress. Soon there were two other guys staring down at Lucy. She backed away until she hit a wall... She was cornered. The cold breeze whipped past her hair rattling her ribs as she shivered. If there is one thing she has learned it was to stay clear of alleyways during the night time at Hargeon. Or just be in a house or some place safe from danger during night time at Hargeon.

Suddenly a fifth person landed behind the four guys.

"Why hello miss I-think-it's-ok-to-dive-into-a-blocked-alleyway-while-being-chased-by-a-gang-of-thugs" the thugs turned around at the new voice.

"Salamander!" Lucy sighed in relief. Wait why was she sighing while being face to face to a criminal. Surly he'll kill her this time. Won't he?

"What's with the salamander? That ain't my name!" The boy asked.

"That's the nickname the gossip weekly gave you. The salamander is someone who lives in fire. Well... Something like that." Lucy explained.

"Right? Um... I guess that's cool." He said.

"Oi! This is our treasure! Scram boy before things get messy!" The boss sneered pointing to the exit with his thumb. Salamander plainly laughed at the gang's stupidity.

"Messy is an under statement whilst I'm here!" He grinned.

Sep 19"Benjamin, Chris... Get 'im!" The boss shouted and the two men closest to the salamander pounced into a brawl. All that could be seen was a cloud of dust with faces, hands and legs sticking out every now and then. Lucy, Josh and the boss could do nothing but watch.

After about 10 seconds the salamander had a gun to the head of one of the two men who was lying on the other one who already seemed lifeless with a pool of blood emanating from his head and a dragon burn mark on the right hand side of his forehead. The boss and Josh jumped back gawking at Chris dead and Benjamin defeated.

"W-who are you?" Josh stammered backing into the wall beside Lucy.

"Um... Ugh what was it again?" The salamander said to himself. "Uh sassymandan?" Lucy sweat dropped at the name he had just given himself.

"Salamander!" Lucy breathed catching the attention of all people in the alley way. "He is the salamander."

"SAY WHAT!" The boss and Josh yelled simultaneously.

"Yeah! That!" Salamander smiled. That smile then turned into a smirk. He pulled the trigger to the gun he was holding to Benjamin's head and he died instantly his whole body going limp. Putting his signature dragon mark onto the body the salamander jumped down off the two dead bodies and faced the two now shivering living bodies. To the salamander there was one thing wrong with that sentence. It wasn't the fact they were shivering or the fact there were two... Nope... It was the fact they were living!

The salamander leapt onto the boss and dug his dragon mark into his skin burning it harshly into his skull. The boss let out a scream of agony while, as usual, the salamander laughed like a maniac at the pathetic weakness of the people. When the scream quietened to heavy painful panting the salamander pulled the trigger to the gun once again and the boss died on the spot. Lucy now noticed the whole alleyway was now flooded with the blood of the salamander's victims.

"Three down... One to go!" The salamander growled in delight as he charged to the frozen-on-the-spot Josh. Snapping out of his frozen faze Josh attempted to turn and run but ended up bumping his nose onto the wall that blocked the alleyway. "Where d'ya think your going?" Salamander asked pouncing onto Josh's back.

"KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"Josh screamed as the smoking hot dragon burn moved from the ring to his forehead.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA" that was the salamander laughing at yet another victim's scream. (This took ages I hope you appreciate what I do for you guys!)

BANG! And Josh was dead! Lucy's look of horror was evident on her pale face. What sort of monster did she show mercy on? And what sort of monster showed mercy on her? "What?" The salamander asked looking at Lucy's face. "I ain't gonna kill you."

"How can you laugh at someone suffering like that?" Lucy breathed.

"I um I ah..." He said not sure how to answer that without revealing his past life.

"HOW!?" Lucy said more firmly. The salamander flinched at the sudden demand of the lady.

"I-I..." He had to tell her... Go for it! "I was taught to by the guys who tortured me I guess."

Lucy's face dropped from anger to horror and pity. "W-what do you mean?"she asked unsure if she should have said that.

"IT MEANS EXACTLY WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE OK?!" Natsu yelled harshly into Lucy face. Tears threatened to escape his eyes even thinking about that history. "Just get outa hear. And like I said don't tell anyone about me... Got it?"

Lucy looked to the ground feeling unworthy to even look at the boy. "Um... I... I won't be able to... I'm leaving for Mongolia tonight."

"You are?" Lucy nodded calmly not looking up. "Can I come?" His sense of anger had stripped from his voice.

"Um I-I don't think it's a good idea for me to bring a infamous mass murderer into the capital city of Fiore." Lucy sighed.

"It's ok... I just want to kill one more person and I hear he's from around there." Lucy kept a firm eye on the ground not daring to look up. But she still thought of the offer. "Just one person... Tell you what... I'll answer all your questions on the way." He begged.

Lucy perked up at this point... 'Well I suppose if it was just one person... And I'll get answers in return so what's stopping me?' She thought carefully yet optimistically. "Aaahh~ ok then common!"

"REALLY!? YAAAAAY!" He cried in victory as they walked down the street together. "What time does it leave at?"

"11:30"

"What time is it now?"

"...oh shoot! It's 11:15!

"Well then common we gotta hurry! I know millions of short cuts! This way!" The salamander said pointing to an alley way down the street. He grabbed Lucy's hand and darted towards it. This was going to be a loooooong night.
