If anyone was wondering, yes I have a fairy tail tattoo and no I don't own fairy tail, I also love sushi

Natsu walked into the guild hall looking very tired. "NATSU!" Makarov yelled from his high balcony, "You destroyed another damm street on your last mission!" he yelled furiously, "Do you have any idea what the amount of paper work I have to do because of this!" He yelled to a now empty spot in front of the guild hall doors since Natsu apparently vanished. "That little brat!"" Makarov yelled as he realized the mage was gone.

Now at Natsu and Happy's home, "Natsu I want some fish," the cat said as he flew around their home, "Yea I'm pretty hungry too, to bad we couldn't eat at the guild hall cuz Gramps was going all crazy and stuff, something about a mage destroying a house or something," Natsu said now scratching his nose. "He was talking about the street you destroyed," said Happy with a sweat drop. "Let's go to Lisanna and Mira's place to get food!" Natsu yelled standing up heading for the door, "Aye sir!" yelled Happy as he flew right behind him.

Knocking on a house door on the outskirts of Magnolia Natsu and Happy were more than happy to intrude and eat all their food. Answering the door a big man appears," A real man greets the guests to his home!" Elfman yells. He then notices who his guests were "Oh hey guys! We almost thought you weren't going to come!" Elfman says letting them in. "You were expecting us?" Natsu asks confused, "Maybe they heard our stomachs and knew we were close by," says Happy now resting on Natsu's head. They then heard giggling and turned to see a smiling Lisanna, "No, you two usually drop by so much at dinner that we now have a spot and a plate ready for the both of you," she said while walking up to them. "Yes it is quite amusing that you two repeatedly eat here as if it were your own home," said Freed walking in with an apron on that said "Laxus". "Freed I told you to not were that apron! It's not a man!" Elfman yells at Freed, "Oh leave him be, it's not like he's in love with him, he's dating me remember," Lisanna says as she walks over to Freed and kisses his cheek. "Well come on let's go eat at the dinning table, Mira has already set the food down and I'm sure Laxus will be back in time for dinner," Lisanna says. "Laxus is coming! Great now I can fight him!" Natsu yells starting to punch the air, "Oh no! You will not start a fight with Laxus again in my house Natsu!" Mirajane says as she walks into the dinning room from the kitchen as all the others also walk into the dinning room and take their seats. "He's always on jobs and I want to spend some quality time with my boyfriend if you wouldn't mind," she says ," but you can fight tomorrow he needs his energy for tonight ok," she says sweetly, "Mira please don't talk like that at the table," Elfman says with a traumatized look. "I don't get it, what does he need his energy for?" Natsu says completely oblivious to everything. Lisanna and Freed just blush as Mira just giggles, "What I mean is that tonight Laxus and I will have-" " Woooah shut it right there Mirajane," says Laxus walking in. "Oh sweety your back!" Mira yells jumping towards him giving him a kiss on the lips. "Seriously Natsu, you're 19 years old right now and you can't figure out hidden messages, and you Mirajane need to keep your tongue wrapped up," Laxus scolds. Mirajane just giggles," I know what I can wrap it around," she says sticking her tongue out, Lisanna and Freed blush even deeper now and Elfman just pales, "can we just eat please," he says. "I already started," said Natsu as he at the food that was placed out completely forgetting about the conversation.

After dinner the the mages walked into the living room to just talk. "Natsu I've been meaning to ask," Lisanna begins, "Is there anyone you're interested in?" Natsu just stares at her confused, What do you mean?" he asks as he pets Happy who fell asleep on his lap. "I mean is there anyone who is special to you?" she rephrases. Natsu then lights up," Well yea!" he grins as all the others perk up at this. Almost everyone has some one special in Fairy Tail, even Gajeel has Levy even though he almost killed her on the first encounter, and to hear who Natsu's heart belongs to is something everyone wanted to know, " Every one is the guild is special to me," he says as everyone sweatdrops. "No Natsu, she means is there a special girl in your life, you know like she's the only one that seems very special to you," Mirajane a tries again. "Special?.." Natsu ponders for a moment, he thinks hard and for a moment he remembers something that he has not thought of for a while.

Flashback: Natsu is inside his egg, his eyes are closed since he is still sleeping. Suddenly he hears noises and wearily opens his eyes, he can see a few shadows through his shell but he can't understand what they are saying. "…will be best friends.." is the clearest thing he can remember hearing them say. He looks at the shadow of someone directly in front of his egg and then he notices something, in the middle of the shadow along where the stomach is he can see a small glow of light. His tail wags very weakly but whatever that little light is, it made him feel happy.

"Natsu!" Laxus says loudly shocking Natsu out of his thoughts, "huh?" was all he could get out. "Forget it, the thought of him having a girl is impossible, besides who the hell would want a reckless idiot like him," Laxus said grinning as Mirajane smacks his head for being mean.

Lucy wakes up like every other morning in her huge bed, surrounded by lots of pillows and with Virgo right next to her bed smiling as the young woman wakes up. "Virgo I already told you that you don't have be here exactly when I wake up," Lucy groans as Virgo lights up at this, "Does this mean it's time for punishment?" she asks as Lucy just stuffs her face into her pillow, "No I already told you I'm not punishing you," she says into her pillow.

Lucy showers and brushes her teeth then gets dressed and walks out of her room into the hallway where Capricorn and Virgo are waiting. "Good morning you two, Virgo stop trying to bug me for punishment," Lucy says as Virgo opens her mouth but stops as Lucy beat her to it. "Good morning Princess Heartfellia," Capricorn says as he bows, "Capricorn I already told you to call me Lucy, and stop bowing everytime you see me," Lucy says smiling sweetly at them as she turns and begins walking down the hall to the dinning hall for breakfast. Capricorn can't help but smile at the similarity of Lucy scolding him for the same things as her mother. Lucy sits at the table where her father is already done eating and drinking coffee with a newspaper in his hand, "Good morning Dad," she says smiling as Jude looks up from his paper, "Oh good morning sweetie," he says, "hurry and eat ok, we have a busy schedule today," he says smiling sweetly to his daughter. Just then Virgo walks in with a plate of eggs bacon and pancakes with a drawing of a red dragon on it. "Hehe red dragon for breakfast Virgo?" Lucy says playfully, "Oh it's just a kind of reminder of sorts princess," Virgo smiles back as Jude smirks knowingly.

Unknown to Lucy, Jude had always been searching for the small red dragon so he could introduce Lucy to it and be friends just as Layla had wished and asked of him on her death bed. The last request of his wife was something he will never forget or fail to do. He had asked the spirits to help him search and for years they had known nothing, until one day he heard news of a dragon called the salamander in a guild named Fairy Tail and he heard it from his own daughter who was reading Sorcerer weekly at the time. Jude couldn't help but chuckle at the thought, it seemed like fate wanted the two to be friends as well. Skeptical at first he had sent spies to investigate and when they informed him of the salamander being a human boy he dismissed the idea of it being him, until the spirits informed him of the dragons vast magical powers and that having a human form was not something out of reach for them which then ignited his hope in having found the right one.

"Lucy, before we start our day I want to discuss something very important with you," he said in a serious tone, which grabbed the girls complete attention. "Yes father?" she asks somehow knowing she won't like it. "My dear, I am becoming very old, and who knows how much longer I'll have to roam this earth, the Kingdom will look to you as the new ruler when I am gone," he says as Lucy visibly saddens at the thought of her father also leaving her behind. "I do not wish to leave my daughter to become the Queen and be alone, so there is something you must do, and just so you know, this was not my idea, it actually came from your mother when she basically ordered me to do," he said with a small chuckle. "What am I suppose to do?" she asked already knowing what it was leading to but hoping it wasn't the case. "Well you must find a suitable partner for the throne," he said smiling. "A partner? You can't be meaning what I think you are?" she says hoping he wont confirm it. "Yes Lucy, you must find someone to marry before you take the throne, you are 18 years old now, more than ready for marriage but your mother was very specific when she told me this," he paused as Lucy listened hoping she wasn't being pushed into arranged marriages, " she told me you must find someone you love and that under no circumstances am I to force you into a marriage, she was very clear on that, even threatened to haunt me from the grave if I were to force you into marriage with a man who did not hold your heart," he said as he sweat dropped remembering how stubborn and threatening his wife was. "Thank you mom," Lucy whispered as she slightly laughed remembering how gentle her mom was but how she could be a monster too when it was important to her. "I am saying this so you know, I do not know when I will be parting and I hope you find someone before that day, if you do not then on my death bed I will have someone who I think is suitable and you will marry him without question," he said as if he had just written the order in stone. "Ok dad I understand," Lucy said Happy that she was safe for now, and of course wished her dad will be alive for much longer, not only so she wasn't forced to marry but because she doesn't feel ready to be a Queen and she loves her dad to much to want him to be gone so soon. "Just don't leave anytime soon please.." she said with a sad smile as she looked at her father who only looked back with a loving smile, "I don't plan on it my dear, besides I must be there when I give you away to a man of your choosing, and I will be dammed if I leave to see your mother and don't have any news of what our grandchildren are like," he said laughing while Lucy could only blush a deep red," Daaad!"

It was night now and after a full day of meetings, playing games with dukes and Lord's, listening to townspeople and their needs and finally training with her magic, Lucy was completely exhausted as she laid down in bed after a warm relaxing shower. "Virgooooo.." Lucy groaned as she didn't ant to move anymore from her spot, just then both Virgo and Capricorn appear, "Oh-oh", Lucy says as she realizes why Capricorn came. "My princess," he bows and then continues, "Princess it is very unladylike to be groaning and calling your spirits like that," he says "hehehe sorry," Lucy responds, very used to Capricorns scolding on her unladylike ways. "Virgo, tomorrow is the day I get to go out and visit any city I want, where do you think we should go!?" she asks excited, ever since she turned 18 her father has let her go out and see their kingdom every 2 weeks. Capricorn and Virgo look at each other and already know what it is that they should say,"Magnolia," they say in unison. "Magnolia?... Hey isnt that where Fairy Tail is! Oh I've always wanted to see that guild they're my favorite in sorcerer weekly, Erza is so fierce but beautiful and Mirajane is just so amazing and gorgeous!," she squeals in delight. "We definitely should go, though I don't know father would like it, Magnolia is on the other side of the Kingdom and well Fairy Tail always cause problems for him since they always go overboard hehehe," she laughs to herself, "Especially the salamander, last week he destroyed a whole street!" she laughs outloud as the spirits just watch her happy that she is willing to go. "They should really put a picture of him in these magazines, I don't even know what he looks like," then Lucy gets up and starts heading to the door," I'm going to tell father where I want to go, I'll bright back," she says as she runs out of her room. "The princess is happy, and I'm sure she'll definitely like what the salamander looks like," says Virgo having already laid eyes on him. "He is very irresponsible though, I am not sure this is wise," says Capricorn," Well the Queen wished for them to be best friends so I will make her wish come true," says Virgo knowing that Capricorn will never go against the late Queens wishes.

"Absolutely!" yells the King to a surprise Lucy," Really? I would've thought you'd be against it," says Lucy completely thrown off, she prepared a speech and everything on her way to her father to be able to go to Magnolia. What she didn't know was that the Kings mind was racing at a million miles per hour until he came up with an idea. "But it is a very long way and very dangerous," he says and Lucy stands firm *I knew that I would need this speech* she thinks to herself ready to lay it on him. "So I will have them pick you up," he says as Lucy just becomes shocked again, "Umm dad what do you mean pick me up?" she says completely thrown off by her father's antics, "Just as I said Lucy, you can go as long as they come pick you up, so I will make a request of them for tomorrow afternoon to be here for you," he says smiling at how his plan that he is completely making up is sounding so good. "But dad Magnolia is a full train ride day away, they wouldn't make it here at that time," she says as Jude just smirks," Don't worry dear, I'll make it work, no go on and go to sleep, I'll make all the arrangements," he says as he turns on a communication lacrimation.

Lucy being back in her room smiles that she will see her favorite guild tomorrow and she's heard that the town itself is just beautiful and the shopping centers are amazing, she can hardly wait. She sends Virgo and Capricorn home and lays in bed, she can't help but wonder who will be sent to receive her, maybe Erza, or the cutest member Wendy, if Lucy had Wendy in her arms she would hug her so tight because the little girl is just so adorable. Lucy closed her eyes still excited for tomorrow as she kept wondering who will go get her.

"Gray you bastard!" yells Natsu as he punches Gray in a middle regular fight at the guild, "You damm pyromaniac! You burned my shorts!" Gray yells backs sending his own punches back," You froze my dinner you popsicle!" Natsu yells back . "Natsu! Gray! Are you fighting again!" Erza yells walking into the guild hall glaring at the two only to see them hugging each other. "What no, we were just having a friendly arm wrestling competition like friends!" Gray says sweating "A-aye" says Natsu sweating just as much. Erza smiles at this,"I'm glad you two are getting along, it's good to have competitions between friends just remember that even close friends like you may fight every once in a while but that is just how friendships are," she says completely oblivious to what the mages actually feel.

"Listen up you brats!" yells Master Makarov from his balcony looking completely worried and excited, "I just got off the communication Lacrima! He's offering our guild 4 million jewels to pick up a VIP and escort them around this town," he yells as the whole guild starts yelling out in celebration," Now! Erza, Gray, Gajeel, Levy and Natsu! Remember this person is very important to the King and should not be put in harm's way, the money isn't more important than another's life so remember that! Now go and retrieve my 4 million je- I mean the VIP!" he yells out as everyone sweat drop's. All the mages who where mentioned get up and start heading out the guild, "Man, so we're going to the capital, this is going to take all day on the train," Gray says directing it to the dragon slayers who in turn just pale at the thought, "hehe don't worry Gajeel," Levy says ," let's just have Wendy cast her trioa spell on you so you won't feel sick," she says as Gajeel perks up," yea you're right shrimp!" he yells as the girl pouts at that name, "ey Wendy! Get your ass in gear over here!" Gajeel yells as Wendy yelps and runs over to them. "Hi guys how can I help you?" she says nicely, "we need you to cast your spell on Gajeel and Natsu for the train ride if you don't mind please," says Levy before Gajeel can say something rude. "Oh yeah sure, but where is Natsu?" she asks not seeing Natsu with the group, just then Happy floats right by with a passed out Natsu, "Aye, he started throwing up just thinking of the train ride," he says happily. "Hey brats," the master yells again, "you have to get to the VIP by tomorrow afternoon so that means you have to get on the last train right now!" he yells as the mages just stare wide eye at the information,"oh no, we only have 15 minutes until the last train leaves!" yells Levy, "We have no choice," Erza appears with her huge cart of gear, let's go!" she yells as she sprints out the door as the rest follow, "well no choice shorty looks like you're coming with us!" says Gajeel as he grabs Wendy and Levy and runs out the door, "I can run fine in my own Gajeel!" yells Levy blushing madly at how he just grabs her and throws her over his shoulder. "Gihi."

At the train station laid a terrified ticket vendor as he had just refused to sell tickets for a train that would leave in seconds and Erza had to use her persuasive skills on him."W-wendy," Natsu called out weakly to the little slayer, "P-please," he said as he laid on the seat holding his stomach, "oh sure Ill be glad to help," she said as she cast her spell on him then did the same for Gajeel who was passed out on Levy's lap, much to her embarrassment but she couldn't help but stroke his hair while he was there. Not that she would admit it but was disappointed when the big slayer was off her lap.

"So who is this VIP?" Gray asks, "I'm not sure," replies Erza, "maybe a Duke or something," Wendy sits next to Erza,"Umm should I be here? Master didn't say my name," she asks timidly, "Oh hush child, with you here the guest shouldn't become completely insane with all these scoundrels around," says Carla as Levy ask if that includes her in the background. "We are to meet this VIP by tomorrow noon, that means when we get off this train we shall continue to the capital on foot," Erza says," get your rest now while the train takes us halfway," she says to an already asleep Natsu and Gajeel. "well that didn't take long," Gray says as he himself closes his eyes for a nap.

Lucy wakes up completely excited for this day, she will get to go to Magnolia and see Fairy Tail. She spends almost no time at all showering and changing along with packing and eating breakfast. Meanwhile Virgo runs behind her keeping up with the princess quick movements and Capricorn scolding her for being very unladylike in getting ready but Lucy is too excited to care, she spent the whole morning just getting ready and ended up taking a nap since she couldn't sleep last night because she was so excited. Before she knew it, it was noon and Capricorn woke her up so she can be presentable when the escorts arrive. "Oh I can't wait to see the guild, and to see all their members, but I wonder who they sent to get me, I'm so excited!" she yells as she gets into one if her many gowns, though she has packed other clothes for travel that her father would never allow her to wear."Princess the escorts have arrived," says Virgo as she appears out of no where. "Finally! I can't wait to meet them, let's go!" she yells running before she is grabbed by a patient Capricorn," Princess please do not run, remember you are a lady," he says while Lucy just pouts. Inside the guest room of the giant castle stand a very tired lot of Fairy Tail mages who look completely exhausted. "This is all your fault Natsu!" yells Gray," My fault! You were suppose to wake us up to get off the train but you fell asleep and we ended up halfway back to Magnolia before we jumped out the windows!" Natsu yells back. "Guys calm down we are in the Kings castle," Levy tries to defuse it while a very irritated Gajeel walks in, "Shit and now someone has to pay that guy whose magic car we stole and crashed, the run here sucked too," he said annoyed even more. "This is my fault, I fell asleep as well and were almost late because of my incompetence, so somebody hit me," she says looking tired as well. Wendy was on the floor panting from fatigue as Carla lay on the floor next to her as Happy used his wings to fan her down. Just then Capricorn appears in a flash an is not satisfied with what he sees, "You shall all shower and be dressed properly before escorting the princess to your guild,especially you the one without clothes" he says sternly as Gray yells and looks for his clothes.. "Wait princess!? Is that the vip!?" Levy asks out loud as maids and other butler's came to them to escort them to the baths and clothing. "Yes, she is on her way so you have 3 minutes to bathe and cloth yourselves," he says as he disappears but not before taking a long look at Natsu. After much rushing and scrubbing along with clothes being thrown on they are back more presentable just before Lucy would appear. "So we get to escort the princess!" yells Wendy excited in meeting an actual princess, "Yes, this is indeed a very important person, not just to the guild but to the whole country, we mustn't make here feel threatened at all," says Erza. "With this lot, feeling safe is the rarest thing of all," says Carla. "So what, we just gotta show her Magnolia stuff her full of food and get her home right, no biggie," says Natsu, "Besides she's probably like 6 or something right, shouldn't be too hard to babysit," he finishes. "You dope the princess is around the same age as us, she should be 18 now I think," Gray states. "Gihi, good thing that Loke stayed back or he'd try to seduce the chick," Gajeel says amused, "Princess! Gajeel, don't forget to address her properly," scolds Levy. "Now announcing the heir to the throne, Princess Lucy Heartfellia!," yells a servant as Lucy finally appears. "Everyone pay attention!"says Erza facing the door the princess should be entering from, even though Natsu was busy looking at an old painting that was set up in the room that showed the king, the queen and a small baby Lucy, he didn't know why but the picture made him feel something nostalgic from when he was still in an egg, his memories flooded in and even the ones he didn't like thinking off in his days at the death fights soured his mood.

Lucy was approaching the door where her escorts were at *Ok Lucy, make a good impression, oh I hope they like me, I just love their guild, please don't be a weirdo Lucy* she thought to herself as she stepped into the room and laid eyes on the mages there, she just couldn't contain her excitement and instantly squealed.

The mages looked surprised to see the blond woman walk in, she was in a very expensive looking gown as she smiled sweetly at them only to squeal as she ran to them, much to Capricorns frustration. "Oh my it is really you, Erza Scarlett, queen of the fairies titania! " Lucy yells as she holds Erza hamd happily. "Yes princess, it is an honor that you know of me," she says bowing slightly which obviously annoys Lucy but she doesn't show it, "Well of course I know you, you're so awesome!" she yells as she looks to the others "Oh! And there is Gray Fulbuster, the ice mage! And Levy Mcgarden, the script mage! Ahh!" she yells again as she lays eyes on Wendy, "Oh you are simply adorable Wendy Marvel, is it true you are a sky dragon slayer?" she questions as Wendy js just star eyed looking at a real princess, "oh yes princess," she bows annoying Lucy again, "I am a dragon slayer," she says smiling which just makes Lucy hug her for being adorable. She then turns to see a big man with a scary face but she isn't frightened, "and you must be Gajeel Redfox, the Iron dragonslayer, wow you're supposedly also very strong!" she says holding her hand out for a handshake in which he returns when Levy bumps her elbow to him. "By the way Levy is it true that you and Gajeel are an item?" Lucy asks catching the girl off guard," Wait what!?" Gajeel says as Levy's face just heats up steaming, "N-n-no princess why w-would you ask?" Levy barely manages out."oh, well on sorcerer weekly it said Mirajane totally saw you together, I was so happy when I read that!" Lucy says as Levy just heats up more. "Is that so?" Erza says, "well we also read that and thought you were together as well," she says as the two mages stare at her in disbelief. They both had feelings for each other but have yet to express it even though everyone else sees it as obvious. "Well I'm sso glad to have met you all, I really love the Fairy Tail guild and would really love to see it," Lucy said as the mages smile at her love for their guild when Erza realizes the last one missing. "Excuse me princess but we have one more to introduce to you, where is Natsu?" she asks her guild mates who all in turn look around for him. "Natsu?" Lucy asks realizing who she's talking about again becomes excited to meet the salamander. "There you are come here and introduce yourself Natsu," Erza says spotting him by the painting. Lucy turns to see and is amazed by him. She sees first his pink hair which she found odd but cute, he had his with trousers on and just a vest but she could see his well toned arms as he turned but what caught her were his eyes, she had never seen such sad eyes before, it almost broke her heart but he instantly blinked it away. He turned fully to her and began walking to her and Lucy couldn't help but blush at the sight of him, his eyes were like a reptiles, he was strikingly handsome and when she looked at his open vest she could see his strong chest and amazing abs that she began heating up quickly. "Hi princess I'm Natsu," he says with his signature grin that made her heart skip a beat as she couldn't help but get red and tongue twisted. "H-hi I'm Luigi-I mean princess Lucy!" she corrects herself embarrassed at herself. "Hehe Luigi," he laughs out as Happy joins. She is embarrassed and curses sorcerer weekly for not putting a picture of him so she could prepare herself. Capricorn just smiles at the events though he is disliking Natsu's current attire. "Its great to meet you Lucy," Natsu says holding out a hand with his wide smile, Lucy is still embarrassed but after a few seconds she calms down since Natsu's smile quickly catches on to her and she can't help but smile back. "Hi Natsu," she says taking his hand in hers and smiles sweetly, which causes Natsu to stare dumbstruck, her smile caught him in a nostalgic feeling as he felt a little yellow light coming from Lucy and gave him that happy feeling he felt as an egg. He couldn't help but just stare at how beautiful she looked. "Ahem," Capricorn coughs out seeing that the two are lost apparently,"the princess is ready to depart for Magnolia," he says as Lucy comes back to reality. "Oh yes I am," she says glancing at Natsu who is apparently still looking at her smiling and she can't help but blush again, "well I am set and ready so we can go now," she says excited again to see the guild. "Wait princess what about the King, we should meet with him since he is the client," Erza says, "Well he is actually in a meeting currently and won't be able to see you, he told me I am set to go as soon as you arrive," Lucy says happily. "Very well, we can depart now, Princess," Erza says. "Capricorn, thank you, I will call for you if I am in need of your assistance," Lucy says waving a key around as Capricorn disappears shocking everyone.

"Princess you're a mage?" asks Levy excited, "Why yes, I'm a celestial spirit mage, I've been training with my spirits for years now," Lucy responds as Natsu jumps in front of her surprising her from their sudden closeness, "That's awesome! Fight me!" he yells excited to fight her as Erza just punches his head, "Don't challenge the princess you fool!" she says as he just says aye. Lucy can't help but giggle at the mages antics, something which Natsu just thought was a beautiful sound so he smiled his famous grin and got up, "well let's head to Magnolia!" he yells. *I can't wait to see their guild… and maybe talk to him a bit more* Lucy thinks blushing to herself.

Sorry guys kinda busy on work and all but please review and let me know if I suck or not.
