Chapter 2

Lucy

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" exclaimed Natsu as he opened the doors to the guild.

I saw several mages sitting around tables just relaxing and talking to each other.

"Wow, I thought it would be more…" I tried to think of the right word.

"You weren't expecting it to be so laid back did you?" inquired Lisanna.

"I honestly thought this would be run like a business."

Natsu laughed, "Nope, that isn't Fairy Tail." He then proceeded to walk away.

"Let me introduce you to everyone." offered Lisanna.

I didn't get the chance to answer as I was immediately pulled away.

I was bought to a table with a white haired man and woman, a blue haired girl, and two guys who were swooning over the blue haired girl.

Lisanna coughed, and got all of their attention.

"Oh, Lisanna, your back," greeted the blue haired girl, "Who's your friend."

"This is Lucy, she wants to join Fairy Tail." she replied, "Lucy, this is Levy McGarden, Droy, Jet, Elfman, my older brother, and Mirajane, my older sister." Lisanna pointed to each person as she introduced everyone.

"What magic do you use?" asked Mirajane in a not so caring way.

"Celestial Spirit Magic." I responded.

Mirajane pointed over to an orange haired boy in a green coat, "Talk to him."

I was kind of surprised at her attitude. She didn't really say anything mean, at least I think, but her attitude was...less desirable. I looked over to the boy and see him surrounded by girls. I was really hoping she wasn't implying I would be like them.

I heard Lisanna sigh and walk me over to the orange haired boy, "Loke!" she called.

The boy looked over at us and smiled, "Yes Lisanna?"

"I would like you to meet Lucy, she is a Celestial Spirit Mage."

Loke's eyes lit up.

"Really?" he asked, "What keys do you have?"

I pulled out my keys and told him the ones I had, "I have four silver ones, but I need to make a contract with one, and three gold ones."

He smiled, "Impressive, I only have one key."

I raised an eyebrow, "Which one?"

"Gate of the Ram, Aries." he explained.

I was going to continue my conversation with him, but the girls pulled him back into their conversation.

Lisanna then pulled me over to the bar, "This is Cana Alberona."

Cana was chugging down a keg of alcohol.

Cana put the barrel down and offered me a hand, "Nice to meet you,"

I shook her hand, "Nice to meet you too, my name is Lucy."

"Well, Lucy, welcome to the guild."

Suddenly we heard a bang and turned over to see Natsu and a blue haired boy in only his boxers staring each other down.

"Gray, your clothes." yelled Cana.

"That's Gray Fullbuster." interjected Lisanna.

The boy looked towards us, then down at his body.

"Damn it!" he yelled. He was about to look for his clothes, when he got pulled back into his fight with Natsu. Soon, the whole guild was sucked into an all-out-brawl, with the exception of Me, Lisanna, Cana, and Mirajane.

Lisanna yelled over to Mirajane, "Where's master?"

Mirajane yelled back, "Guild Masters Meeting!"

Strike that, Me, Cana and Mirajane were the only ones not fighting.

Mirajane walked over to us and warned me, "I wouldn't join in if I were you."

Cana turned to her and said, "Why didn't you tell Lisanna that Master is coming home today?"

Suddenly we found a giant looming figure appear in the middle of the guild, "Knock it off you brats!"

With that everyone was sitting at a table, or the remains of a table, acting as if nothing had happened. Everyone except Natsu.

"HA!" He yelled, "I win!"

Before Natsu could do anything, the giant crushed him under his foot.

"I-I give." he pants as the giant shrinks into a small elderly man.

"That's what I thought." responded the man.

He then performed a back flip to land on the second floor, but…missed. Instead, he hit the railing. Before he could fall, he grabbed the railing and pulled himself up.

"Alright, Now that that is sorted out, I have an announcement!" yelled the master. He raised up a file of papers, "These are from the Magic Council. They are very upset with Fairy Tail for all the destruction we cause in the field. you brats are causing me a lot of trouble!"

Nobody seemed very happy about this.

"BUT!" he proceeded to light the papers on fire, "It's our duty to protect the people of Fiore, and so, we must do what ever we can to succeed in our mission! It is up to you to decide what is right and what is wrong! So screw the Magic Council!"

Everyone cheered him on.

The Master concluded his little speech by raising his right hand and sticking up his index finger and thumb.

Everyone followed suit and cheered for Fairy Tail.

"So, you want to join Fairy Tail?" asked the master.

"Y-yes" I respond.

"Okay, what color, and where." asked the master as he pulled out a stamp.

"R-really?"

"Yeah, what were you expecting, some huge interview?"

I blushed, "yes."

He laughed, "So where do you want it and in what color?"

"Pink, and on the back of my right hand." I held out my right hand, and he stamped the Fairy Tail symbol, in pink, on my hand.

"Congratulations, Lucy, welcome to Fairy Tail!"

I looked at my hand and stared at the mark in glee.

"Congratulation Lucy!"

"Yeah, Congratulations!"

"Welcome to the Guild!"

"Let's Party!"

Soon the whole Guild was congratulating me, and a sort of celebration had started up.

It was late at night. I couldn't believe the guild would party like that! It slowly dawned on me that through all the partying, I had not been able to go out and rent an apartment.

"Hey Lucy," called Lisanna as she walked over to me, Natsu had his arm around her. He was pretty bruised up, and as I would learn later that night, he had challenged Mirajane to a fight and lost, miserably. "I just realized, do you have a place to stay?"

I blushed, could she read minds or something?

"No, I was going to get a place today, but got caught up in all the partying." I explained, "I don't know what to do."

"I would invite you to stay at my place," said Natsu, "But I don't really have the room."

"And other girls shouldn't be staying at your house if you have a girlfriend!" yelled Elfman.

Natsu scratched the back of his head, "Yeah, I guess not."

"Well," said Lisanna, "You can stay at our place until you can get a house of your own?"

I sighed a sigh of relief, "Thank you so much."

"No problem,"

We proceeded to walk out of the guild, me thanking Lisanna the whole way. We stopped near the edge of town, and approached an average sized family house. It had two floors, a basement, and an attic. This was Natsu's home.

"Well, this is my place." said Natsu as he pointed towards the house.

I looked at him and said, "How do you not have any room here?"

Natsu laughed a bit, "I don't live alone; I live with my sister. It's her who takes up most of the room."

I paled at the thought of a female Natsu.

"Are you okay Lucy?" asked Natsu, "You're looking sick."

"Y-yeah."

"Alright then, why don't I take you home now, we live a few blocks away." said Lisanna, "Happy, are you staying with me or Natsu?"

Happy jumped over to Natsu, "Natsu!"

"Okay, see you in the morning." she said as she led me away.

We walked a few blocks over from Natsu's, and came to Lisanna's house. Like Natsu's her house was an average sized one. She set me up in the guest bedroom. We spent the rest of the night going through the newspapers looking for an apartment for me to rent.

A few days later, we were all relaxing in the guild. I had rented a small apartment, and had also made a contract with my new key. I had named the cute little summon Plue. I was sitting in a booth, talking with Loke, Natsu, and Lisanna.

"When should I take a job?" I asked as I spied at the mission request board. I was kind of unnerved at the fact that a man was just standing there looking over the request board.

"Any time." responded Loke.

"Don't let Nab's inability to pick a mission get to you." said Gray as he walked over, fully clothed, "He hasn't gone on a mission in…when was the last time he went on a mission?"

Lisanna thought for a few seconds, "I honestly don't remember."

Suddenly a young boy came running into the Guild.

"Master Makarov!" yelled the boy as he approached the master, who was sitting on a seat at the bar.

"Hm, yes Romeo?"

"Is my Dad here?"

Makarov took a look around, and said, "I'm afraid not, he's probably out on a mission."

"He is." responded Lisanna as she walked behind the bar. She pulled out a large book, and said, "It says he went on a quest...to stop some Vulcans on Mt. Hakobe ."

"Yeah, he said he would be back in a week, but he still isn't back!" yelled the boy, "Can you please send a search party for him?"

"I'm sorry Romeo, but I can't just do that," responded Makarov, "I'm sure Macao's fine."

With that, Makarov was punched in the stomach by an angry Romeo.

Romeo proceeded to run out of the Guild in tears.

"Poor kid." I noted.

Natsu sat up, "I'll find him."

Makarov looked at Natsu and smiled.

"Lisanna, you wanna come?"

"Sorry Natsu, but you know how hard it is to get out of the bar for me." she apologized, "Why don't you take Lucy with you, it would be good practice for her."

Elfman and Mirajane, who were at the Bar, looked at her like she was crazy.

"Are you sure, Lisanna?" asked Elfman.

"Aren't you afraid Lucy would take your man?" continued Mirajane.

"Nah, I know Natsu wouldn't flirt with Lucy," responded Lisanna nonchalantly, "And Happy is going, so rest assured, if anything happens, Happy would tell me, right?"

"AYE!" yelled both Natsu and Happy.

"But, what does flirt mean?" asked Natsu.

Lisanna sweat dropped, "Just don't try and make out with her, got it?"

Natsu looked at Lisanna and smiled. He tilted his head and said, "Now, why would I kiss Lucy, when I could kiss you?"

Natsu then leaned over the counter and kissed Lisanna.

While he did that, Elfman cried about how Natsu was a real Man worthy of his sister…weird, and Mirajane just looked bored.

"Don't worry Lisanna, I won't make any moves on him." I assured her, "And thanks."

"I know, and you're welcome."

"Well, let's go!" yelled Natsu as he ran towards the door, "Meet me at my place when you're ready."

"AYE!" I yelled, saluting him as he ran towards his house.

As I walked out the door, Mirajane stopped me. I felt the air around me become heavy as the atmosphere went for light and happy, to dark and gloomy, "If you dare make a move on him…You will pay."

I gulped, "Y-yes Ma'am."

"Good." she said as she turned back towards the guild, the area become less scary as she left.

I returned to my apartment and packed for the hike up Mt. Hakobe. Once I was finished packing, I headed over to Natsu's house.

I had a small duffle bag slung over my shoulder with all my gear. Natsu was waiting outside his house. He had a giant backpack on his back. How much could he need for the mission?

"You ready?" he asked.

"Yeah,"

"Then let's go!" he said as he led me out of the city.

I am freezing. Despite the winter jacket I am wearing, I am freezing. I look over to Natsu, and wonder how he is not cold! He's wearing the same thing as usual, a back vest and white baggy pants.

"It's freezing out here, how are you not cold!" I yelled as I hugged my jacket harder.

Happy, who was lying on Natsu's shoulder, turned to face me, and said, "Natsu can use his Dragon Slayer Magic to heat his body. It resonates from his body, and can warm others too!"

It dawned on me that he was like a walking heater!

"Here Lucy!" said Natsu as he stuck out his arm, "I'll keep you warm."

I was about to take his invitation, when Happy hissed at me, "Natsu, you can't cuddle with Lucy, Lisanna would get mad."

"Oh…but I was just going to warm her up." explained Natsu.

"Yeah, but Lucy may take it the other way." responded Happy.

"No I wouldn't." I responded.

My response fell on deaf ears, "She might think you llllike her." continued Happy, rolling the 'L' for emphasis.

Natsu shrugged and near knocked Happy off his shoulder, "Sorry Lucy, but I don't want to get Lisanna angry at me."

"I-it's fine." I replied.

We continued walking, and it was getting colder by the minute. I was just about at my limit, when I remembered about Horologium, one of my spirits.

"Open! Gate of the Clock, Horologium!" I yell as my body was engulfed in smoke.

Natsu turned around and faces me alarmed.

"Lucy!" he yelled as he started punching…a clock.

"Stop it-she says." says the clock I am inside, "I summoned him-she says."

"WHY!?" he yelled completely bewildered.

"It's cold out, but it's warm in here-she says."

"Oh."

"She's right-he says."

"What are you doing in here!-she says"

"It's warmer than Natsu-he says."

Happy and I continued to argue. Natsu turned around and continued walking down the snowy path with Horologium following him.

Suddenly, Natsu was knocked over the edge of the ridge we are on, and a Vulcan grabbed the clock!

"AH!-they say"

"Oh! Pretty girl!" yells the Vulcan as it tries to pry us out of Horologium. He continued trying to open the clock for a few more seconds.

Getting frustrated, the Vulcan gave up on getting us out of the clock, and instead, picked up the clock, threw it on its shoulder, and carried it away.

Thank you for reading Chapter 2. Makarov's speech was kind of hard to write, so I hope it was good.
