I watched, amazed as the woman grabbed Natsu and threw him over her shoulder. She then turned to me, looking very irritated. "Find Lucy and finish this mission." She then gated at Happy, who was paralyzed with fear. "These two shouldn't bother you anymore. I will be at the guild awaiting your return with Lucy tonight at precisely 5 o'clock." And with that, the scarlet-haired woman jumped off the train with both Natsu and Happy.

After a moment, I sweatdropped. "Well... That was weird."

The leader laughed. "Looks like your little friends can't help you now." He chuckled before preparing to throw a gigantic fireball in my direction. He was caught off guard when I stood there. "You may know how to deal with fire wizards, but you've never met someone like me."

He hesitated then threw the fireball. There was a small explosion and all of the windows in the train car shattered from the blast. The leader laughed as the smoke started to fade. "That'll teach her not to mess with me." Then he froze, appalled.

I emerged from the smoke, steaming a little, but barely burnt at all. The leader made a ghost face and took a step back. "Who are you?!"

I looked at him harshly. "Where's my friend. The blonde one you guys tied up."

He took another step back and a few of his men ran in. "We'll help you, boss!"

I took a deep breath. "My name is Nelly Zera. I'm also known as Newt, The Sun Dragon."

I then cast the spell. "Sun Dragon Roar!" The spell blasted all of the men off of the train. It was almost funny seeing them get up and run away. I suddenly remembered about Lucy. I cupped my hands around my mouth and called out. "Lucy? Where are you?"

Almost out of nowhere, a weird cow-man burst through the door of the car. "She's in here Miss Lucy! Do I get a smooooch?"

Lucy then walked through the door, suddenly irritated. "Why don't you ask someone else?!" Lucy spotted me. "Nelly! I'm glad you're alright!"

I waved. "You too!"

Lucy started looking around the cabin when the cow-man disappeared. "Where are Natsu and Happy?"

I sweatdropped. "Umm... Some weird lady crashed in through the roof and took them." I rubbed my head, confused. "She had vividly red hair and was wearing a chest plate..."

Lucy gave a shocked face. "You saw Erza take Natsu and Happy?!"

"Do you know her? Is this Erza a member of Fairy Tail too?"

Lucy nodded. "She's easily the strongest female wizard in Fairy Tail. If you saw Erza take Natsu and Happy..." She shivered with terror and unease. "We'd better hope they're still alive by the time we get back to the guild."

Lucy then froze. I gave her a confused look. "What's wrong?"

"You use Dragon Slayer Magic just like Natsu!"

I blushed a little. "Oh, you saw that.. It's pitiful, isn't it?"

"What are you talking about? You sounded awesome!" Lucy correctly stated as she wasn't in the room. "And that giant hole proves it! And what about your confidence?"

I sweatdropped. "That was just a facade... I'm actually surprised it worked at all... Like I said before... It's nothing special.."

Lucy grew a little uneasy. In an effort to avoid anymore awkwardness, she pointed outside the train. "We should probably go talk to those guys we beat before the train gets too far away."

I nodded. "So... How should we stop the train?"

We both sweatdropped. "Uh..."

Lucy pulled out a key. "I've got an idea." She swung the key through the air. "Open gate of the Maiden, Virgo!"

I gave a small surprised look as a maid with pink hair appeared. "Are you a celestial wizard?"

"Uh huh! And that's what that cow-guy was? One of your spirits?"

"Yeah! That was Tauros, the Golden Bull. And I have other spirits too." She turned to the spirit she had summoned. "Alright Virgo, can you get us safely off the train?"

"Of course, Princess."

I chuckled. "She calls you Princess?"

Within an instant, Lucy and I were both thrown off of the train. We both hugged each other and screamed as we rolled into the... soft grass. Lucy and I sighed into relief and stood up, laughing a little. "I thought for sure your spirit was going to kill us.."

"On the contrary," Virgo landed behind us. "I was instructed to safely get the two of you off the train. So, I carried out my orders. Are you going to punish me now?"

I sweatdropped. "Your spirits sure are... special, aren't they..."

She looked a little emotionally drained. "Yeah... I know.."

Virgo bowed before disappearing. "Until next time, princess."

Lucy turned to me. "So, where are those guys? Natsu said they have Coki."

"I think they're this way. Let's go."

"Right!"

ooOoo

It took a while, but Lucy and I found the thieves. They were horrified of Lucy for some reason and handed over a pet crate without us even asking. Inside was... the lost pet we've been looking for. Lucy made a disgusted face. "It's just as ugly as that kid's picture!"

It was true. The animal named Coki was basically a blob with tiny eyes and two tails. But...

I blushed as I picked it up. "It's so cute!"

Lucy looked at me with an odd look. "You think that thing's cute?!"

After getting back onto the train, Lucy and I reached the manor from which Coki was taken. Turns out, the owner's kid WAS the one who drew the picture of their beloved pet. The boy's father was sweating nervously and with relief at the same time. "Th-Thank you for helping us, w-wizards from F-Fairy Tail."

Lucy smiled. "It was our pleasure, Sir."

The father then shook my hand."It was an honor to be your first job. I hope you know how grateful I am for bringing Coki back."

I blushed a little. "Thank you sir..."

"Now... About your reward..."
