Chapter 1: The Beginning Of It All

A loud honking noise came from outside, snapping a 14-year-old Natsu Dragneel awake. Apparently his father, Igneel, had already awoken, as he there was yelling from outside. With a yawn, Natsu sat up and looked out of his bedroom window. He rubbed his eyes to clear away any fogginess and stared down at his father talking to another man. He wasn't yelling anymore, which was weird, considering it was the middle of the night. Behind the other man was a truck. It looked like a moving truck.

Was he asking for directions? Natsu groggily wondered. He shook the thought off with another yawn, stretching. Oh well. Not my problem. I have school in the morning...

And with that, he plopped back down on to his bed and fell asleep immediately.

"Natsu! Come downstairs!"

Yet again, Natsu snapped awake by his fathers loud voice. He groaned, staggering up from his bed and glancing at the clock. His eyes widened as he stared at the clock. "1:00?! I totally missed school!" he yelped. He quickly got dressed on whatever was available, without taking a second look, and rushed downstairs. "Dad, why didn't you wa-"

He stopped himself as he saw a man and a girl in his living room, sitting on the couch. Natsu narrowed his eyes at his father, who was sitting in his chair. "Ah, Natsu. So glad you could join us," Igneel said calmly.

Natsu huffed. "What the hell's wrong with you? I'm late for school!"

"Today's Saturday..."

His eyes looked over at the girl, who was blond with her hair tied up into a high side pony-tail. She was either giving him a shy smile, or trying to hold back some laughter. As a small laugh escaped her lips against her will, he decided it was the latter.

"Natsu, what in God's name are you wearing?" Igneel asked with an eyebrow cocked up.

Natsu blinked and looked down at himself. He was wearing an over-sized t-shirt, both inside-out and backwards, and he had apparently completely forgotten his pants. His face burst into a tomato red as he rushed back upstairs, slamming his bedroom door behind him as he quickly, but more carefully, put on other clothes.

As he descended the stairs, he could hear them talking about him. Curious on what the newcomers were saying, he decided to stay hidden at the bottom of the steps.

"Your son's really amusing, Mr. Dragneel!" he heard the girl giggle.

"Oh, that's not even the half of what he does! One time, he was about 10 or so, mind you, he walked straight into the table and fell on to it. Literally fell on to it!" his father laughed.

Natsu glared at the other side of the kitchen, his eye twitching. Dad, I'm going to murder you... he cursed in his mind.

"Well, Mr. Dragneel, what school is your son going to?" another man-voice asked. Natsu decided it was that other guy, who he guessed what that girl's dad.

"Oh! Fairy Tail High School. Is your daughter going there?" Igneel asked.

The other guy chuckled. "Yes, she is. Isn't that right, Lucy?" he said.

He heard the girl giggle. "That's right! I hope I get to make a lot of friends there! From what I heard back where I used to live, it was a great school," she said, hope apparent in her voice.

Geez, what a disappointment that'll be... The people in this school are awful... Natsu thought to himself. He heaved a sigh and walked out into their view, scratching the back of his head.

"How great for you to join us again, Natsu," Igneel chuckled. Natsu shot his father a glare as he plopped down in his own chair, which was beside his fathers. He crossed his arms, looking down at the floor with a pout. Igneel rolled his eyes and reached over, smacking the back of his head.

"Ow!" Natsu growled. "That hurt, old man." Lucy giggled at them, making Natsu blush and look down in embarrassment.

"So, Natsu," began the voice of the girls supposed father. "How old are you?"

"...14," Natsu hesitantly responded.

"That's the same age as Lucy, here," he said, smiling down at the blond. She simply blushed and looked away. After a couple of moments of silence, he stood up. "Well, it's getting to be a bit late now." Natsu looked outside in confusion - it was still light outside.

"Yes, I understand you have quite a lot of unpacking to do, Mr. Heartfilia," Igneel said at the other father, grinning.

Mr. Heartfilia curtly nodded in return. "Well then, if you'll excuse us." He turned, shrugging on his coat and walking over to the front door, Lucy in tow.

She looked back at Natsu with a wide smile and waved. "See ya, Natsu!"

And with that they left.

A minute of silence hovered between Natsu and his father. "That was quite the embarrassing situation, wasn't it?" Igneel finally said, grinning at his son.

Natsu's face flared up into a bright red as he remembered. "D-Dad, shut up! Let's just go eat lunch now," he grumbled, standing and sulking over to the kitchen.

Igneel laughed. "Sure thing, son. What would you like to eat?" he asked as he followed his son.

"What? Seriously? Is she hot?" the voice on the other line yelped at Natsu's news of the new neighbor.

"Jeez, Gray! It isn't that big a deal!" Natsu replied, sighing into the phone.

"Yeah, yeah. You never really show interest in girls, Natsu," Gray said, the roll of his eyes evident in his voice across the phone. Suddenly, he let out a short gasp. "Could it be... you're more interested in m-"

"Definitely not asshole!" Natsu yelped. He looked back at his TV screen, blankly looking at a rerun of an old cartoon episode.

"Hey, are you gonna get the next game of Slaying Dragon?" Gray asked suddenly.

Natsu blinked once, focusing back onto the phone. "Of course! You know how much I love that game, idiot," he said. "And? You wanna play it? It comes out tomorrow, right?"

"You bet. I bet I'll beat your ass at it," his friend snickered.

"What?! No way that's happening, dumbass!" Natsu snorted.

"Huh? What was that? I couldn't hear you over the noise of your future ass gettin' whooped by yours truly," Gray dragged on dramatically.

"I'll beat you into a pulp, asshole! Just you wait!" Natsu yelled into the phone.

Gray laughed. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, flame brain," he said.

"Hey! The Fire Dragon is the best and you know it! It's a lot better against your puny Ice Dragon," Natsu scoffed. "Fire rules over ice any day, icicle boy!"

"Bullshit! The Ice Dragon can pierce anything. The Fire Dragon has no chance!" Gray retorted.

"Gray, quiet down! I can't watch my movie with my boyfriend!" a girl's voice faintly came across the phone.

"It seems like your sister got upset by your constant nagging," Natsu snickered.

Gray huffed at him. "She's just watching a chick flick that she's seen about 20 times," he sighed. "She is so annoying, I swear. Your sister is so much better, Natsu. Let's switch."

"Ha. Ha. Ha," Natsu sarcastically laughed. "Very funny, Gray. Like I'd want an annoying sister like yours. Besides, Wendy's too innocent to have to see you walking around in your boxers twenty-four seven." He paused for a second. "By the way, you wouldn't happen to be in them now, would you?" He let out a loud laugh as he heard Gray's yelp of surprise from the other side of the line.

A knock on Natsu's door came as he stopped laughing. "Yeah?" he called.

"Brother! Dinner's ready, if you want to come down," a small voice said.

"Ah, sure, Wendy! I'll be right down," he said in return. "Oi, Gray, I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow at the game store, right?"

"No duh. Usual time, got it?" Gray asked.

"Obviously," Natsu replied. "Well, see ya. Gotta get my food for the night."

"Yeah. 'Night." And with a beep the phone call ended.

Natsu got up from his bed and stretched. He walked over to the door and opened it, sniffing. "Ah, steak tonight? All right!" he shouted, rushing downstairs.

"Ah, brother!" a dark blue haired girl beamed. "How's Gray doing?"

Natsu grinned at his little sister. "An asshole, as always," he snickered. He received a smack on the back of his head by his father.

"Natsu, watch your language. Don't cuss in front of Wendy," his mother, Grandine, scolded.

Natsu rolled his eyes and took his usual seat next to Wendy. "Yeah, yeah, Mom," he groaned.

Grandine glared at him. "Anyways, Natsu. I heard we had a new neighbor. Your father wouldn't tell me much, saying it was a surprise, or something along those lines," she said, closing her eyes as she sat in the chair next to the father.

Natsu blinked once, then narrowed his eyes at Igneel, who grinned at him in return. "Well, it was a girl and her father. And that's all I'm saying because it was apparently a surprise," he answered, smirking at his dad. Igneel rolled his eyes, disappointed that his son figured the trick out.

Wendy looked up at her brother. "Was she pretty?" she asked.

Natsu paused, looking down at Wendy, then at his father. Igneel grinned. "Yes. She was very pretty, Wendy," he groaned, looking down at his dinner.

Wendy frowned at him. "Really? The way your saying it makes it seem like she wasn't pretty..." she trailed off.

Natsu placed his hand on his face. "She was pretty, Wendy. Now let's just eat," he muttered.

Wendy watched her brother warily as he stuck a piece of steak into his mouth and began to chew. She smiled and grabbed her fork and knife. "Alright! I can't wait to meet her!" she cheered, and began to eat. Igneel and Grandine smiled at each other, before digging in themselves.

Natsu yawned as he waltzed down the street, making his way to the bus stop, where he'd meet Gray. He looked at the watch on his wrist, frowning. Why is our meeting time at 10 AM, anyways? It's such a bother getting up this early on a weekend. He yawned again, rubbing an eye.

"Ah! You!" a familiar voice said.

Natsu stopped, looking back at the source of the voice. "Oh. You're the new girl, right?" he asked, fully turning around.

"Yeah. My name's Lucy," she said cheerfully. "What are you doing up this early? You don't really seem the get-up-early type of guy."

Natsu frowned at her, earning a snicker. "I'm meeting a friend to get something. You?" he asked.

"Oh, I was just about to go out for a late morning jog. My alarm clock didn't go off at the right time," she groaned.

Natsu raised his eyebrows. "A jog? Are you sure you'll even find your way home? I mean, being in a new town and all."

Lucy rolled her eyes, walking over to him. "We finished packing a bit earlier than expected last night, so I decided to wander around for a while," she said, smirking at him. "And before you ask, I did find my way home by myself, last night."

Natsu grinned at her as they walked side-by-side. "Well obviously. You did come out of your house, and not someone else's. At least I think..." He pondered a bit, looking at the ground with his eyebrows furrowed. "That is your house, right?"

She laughed at him. "Yes, that's my house. I admit, it's a bit far for your dad to be inviting us over. I mean, it's, like, 10 houses down, right?"

He nodded. "Yeah. Now that you mention it, it is a bit weird..." he said. "Ah! Were you the ones whose moving truck driver got lost, even though he was in the right place?"

Lucy nodded. "Yeah. That guy was such an idiot. I'm glad we even made it here!" she laughed.

Natsu laughed along with her, grinning. He looked ahead and spotted the bus stop. "Ah! There it is." He squinted his eyes, seeing a figure there. "And... it seems Gray's already there." He turned to Lucy, giving her another grin. "Well, I guess this is where we part. See ya, Lucy!"

Lucy smiled at him. "Bye bye, Natsu!" she giggled, crossing the road swiftly and jogging in the opposite direction of the bus stop. Natsu watched her retreating figure as he arrived at the bus stop. A slap on the back knocked him back into reality.

"Hey, dude. Was that that chick you told me about last night?" Gray asked, following Natsu's gaze.

"Yeah. Her name's Lucy," Natsu replied in a daze.

"Wow, she's really hot. Is she going to our school?" Gray asked, looking down at Natsu.

He shook his head, looking at Gray. "Yep," he sighed. "I hope she doesn't get teased by my so-called 'fans'. They're really annoying in that aspect." Gray grinned at Natsu, who gave him a weird look. "What are you grinning at, idiot?"

"Are you perhaps falling in love, Natsu?" Gray teased.

Natsu gave him an exasperated look. "Hah? I just think she's a cool person. Is that so wrong?" he grumbled.

"Well-"

"Anyways! Are we going to the game shop or not? I wanna play this game!" Natsu interrupted, grinning at his friend.

Gray rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah. Let's get going. It's not like it'll close in the next 15 minutes."

Natsu snickered as he put his hands in his pockets, trailing slightly behind Gray to the game shop. His eyebrows furrowed as he began to think about the new girl.

I hope she'll be okay there...

A/N: Well, how was it guys? :D; I'm not so confident in this chapter. I feel like not enough went on. That's probably true, anyways...

Also! The name of the game they were talking about is supposed to be that way. There is a reason it is. I just want to clear that up if there was anyone who was wondering.

Another also! There won't be a set time span for between each update. Some might be a few hours. Some might be a few days. Some might be a month ((and if it's that I apologize profusely)).

Look forward to the next chapter!
