The blonde sighed and sat on the sand just by the river, her hair soaking wet. She had just changed her clothes – somehow she had managed to find a village nearby and bought a fresh set. Thanks to that skirmish earlier, she had to buy some when she had more than enough back at her home already. What's worse was that vest was her favorite.

"Stupid Full-bastard," Lucy growled and squeezed the water out of her hair. "Stupid… pervert," she hissed and grabbed a rock. "Stupid… Gray!" she yelled and threw the rock towards north. She growled and sighed, slowly sinking in the ground.

"Zzzz…"

Lucy blinked and looked up. What was that sound?

The blonde listened quietly and heard snoring from a distance. She wrapped her fingers around the handle of her sword and stood up, slowly walking forward. She had to find out what that was. The forest was no place for a picnic, anyway. It was full of enchanted creatures which were more or less dangerous once prompted.

"Who's there?" she said, her eyes darting everywhere.

Lucy walked forward and then nearly jumped in surprise. There, lying in front of her was a sleeping boy with pink hair. The girl looked intently at the boy's mouth that had hung open in his sleep. Whenever he snored, small sparks came from his insides, and out of his mouth. Right then and there, Lucy knew that he wasn't just a human.

"A… morphe!" Lucy said in bated breath. Her heart thumped in her chest with excitement. Lucy Heartfilia, 17, Celestial Mage, is now in the presence of what can be considered a creature so rare, so elusive that only three had been spotted since the beginning of magic itself. She crouched down with curiosity and stared at the pinkette, "But what is a morphe doing here?"

With much practice, Lucy knelt closer to the specimen. The pinkette had scales, dragon scales, on some parts of his body, with sharp fangs and red wings folded behind his back. A red pointy tail lay still on the ground beside him, unmoving yet glinting. No doubt about it, she thought proudly to herself, he isn't just a morphe—he's a dragon morphe!

Lucy would have wanted to study more about him—probably take him home and cut him up—but he suddenly snorted and his eyes shot open, dark eyes staring up at Lucy's hazel ones.

"Yo," she greeted.

The creature's eyes widened then hurriedly scurried to a nearby tree, suddenly in defense mode. He stretched his scarlet wings, preparing for flight, but Lucy caught him by the tail and kept him from doing so.

"Gaaah! Enemy!" he screamed.

Lucy winced and rolled her eyes, "I'm not an enemy you paranoid morphe."

"Then who are you?" he asked, looking at her cautiously. Obviously, this morphe wasn't used to humans and looked at Lucy as if she was going to gobble him up any second. The girl could have sworn he took a huge sniff of her, too.

"My name is Lucy and I'm a mage," she explained. "Anyway, why are you sleeping here in the forest near the Fullbusters' mansion?"

"Ahh, that. Tch!" he clicked his tongue in regret while he squat down properly as he looked at the mansion, annoyed. "That Gray Fullbuster took away my best friend! She's a defenseless pixie so I came to find her! But… when I came, that bastard told me he killed her! So I battled him and ended up getting put to sleep by that sister of his."

Lucy sighed and dragged a hand down her face. "What an idiot! Who in their right of mind would battle that bastard all of a sudden? Oh yeah, you!" she said and massaged her forehead. "Who is this pixie friend of yours anyway?" the blonde asked.

Her companion frowned sadly, "Her name is Lisanna Strauss. I've been friends with her for 50 years now and a few years ago, she disappeared. I heard that the Fullbusters had taken her, but I didn't know where those bastards stayed. Few days ago, I finally found them but—"

Lucy's eyes widened, suddenly remembering the name. "I met Lisanna on my way here actually!" she exclaimed. She didn't know whether this was fate or a coincidence. "She and her sister were completely controlled by the Fullbusters and were turned into dark fairies. I released them though, and they left to find more of their kind," the blonde said.

"Released them? How? Only Celestial Mages could do tha—" the human dragon stopped mid-sentence and his eyes widened. "W-Wait… You're saying that you're…?"

Lucy smiled, "That's right, I'm one of them. The full name's Lucy Heartfilia. You?"

Heartfilia, he thought. The pinkette opened and closed his mouth, shock evident on his face. "N-Natsu Dragneel…"

"It's nice to meet you Natsu," Lucy said and smiled, stretching out her hand.

Natsu shook hands with her and smiled, "N-Nice to meet you, too, Lucy!"

Lucy smiled and stretched her arms. "Alright! Now I need to go and train a little, damn that Full-bastard for treating me so low!" she growled and began walking away, leaving Natsu.

"Wait!"

Lucy turned around and blinked, staring at Natsu who stood up, fixing his scarf. He stretched and adjusted his white long-sleeved dress shirt. "Can I come with you?" he yelled, a grin on his face.

Lucy stayed silent and observed him. He wore a white long-sleeved dress shirt, black pants and black shoes along with a scaly scarf around his shoulders. What was most curious was, and Lucy scolded herself for noticing it only now, that Natsu was wearing a golden article on his head, adorned with what seemed like precious stones. A… crown?

"Wait… you're a prince?" Lucy asked, raising a brow and stepping back a little. This was new; she never really thought that morphes, let alone dragon morphes, was a monarchy.

Natsu nodded and grinned, "I am!"

"Are you sure your parents won't be looking for you if you come with me?" Lucy asked, staring at Natsu long hard before releasing a frown. She didn't want to be responsible for his death or injuries once his parents find him. They're dragons, after all. Just in the form of humans but dragons nonetheless.

"My parents are busy forming an alliance with the other dragon morphes. I doubt they'd notice I even left the place," Natsu said with a confident smile. "Plus I always wander around so they're used to it. So, can I come?"

The girl could see excitement in his eyes as he wrapped his tail around his right leg. Geez, Lucy sighed. First, crazy, possessed pixie chicks; then, a perverted evil overlord; now, an idiotic and carefree dragon in a human's skin.

"Fine… you can come with me."

Natsu grinned, "Alright!"

"But do something with those wings and tail of yours," she warned. "People aren't really accustomed to dragon royalty such as yourself."

"Oh," he replied, somewhat downcast. "So long as I can find some grub. I'm starving!"

Oh, brother, she thought. Somehow, life was being more that exciting since that morning. Maybe it was finally answering all those prayers she'd uttered for some adventure? She frowned. Be careful what you wish for.

The gray-haired ice mage fought back a laugh but it was no use. It was escaping through his mouth, his nose and it was damn hard to breathe just trying to hold it in. Finally, he burst and a mocking laughter filled the hall.

He couldn't talk. He couldn't breathe. Lyon could only point.

Meanwhile, Gray sluggishly walked back inside, his feet feeling like a million tons of weight. He didn't know how to react: First, he lost his favorite coat which was special since it was made of dragon Hyde and werewolf fur. Second, his 'battle' was a bit of a loss since he had ruined his image of being a cool bad guy and that girl was probably roaming around labeling him as some sort of pervert.

And lastly, he gritted his teeth at this, that girl made me lose my virginity. Well, not exactly, though. The virginity he was talking about was the innocence of his beloved eyes, which were now tainted by the image of a topless girl with porcelain skin and a huge chest. Gray felt another surge of blood coming out of his nose and he pushed the cloth he had stuck in them deeper in.

"You got beat up pretty good, Gray," said Lyon. "What is it this time? A mauler bear? A dragon? A forest troll in a rampage?"

"Yes, Lyon," he relied with poison in his tone, "A vicious forest troll in a rampage." It was half true, though. That one was just butt-ugly. No way she'd pass off as a girl, if not for those huge mounds of hers. Must be heavy having those around 24/7.

"You lost your coat, I see," his companion said, reminding him. "Wasn't it your favorite? What happened?"

"Forest troll needed it. I didn't."

"Playing the nice guy, huh?" Lyon said. "Well? What about the darkness?"

The raven-haired mage took out a dark crystal amulet from his pants pocket and threw it to Lyon. He caught it expertly and examined it. "It's not much."

"Most of the darkness dispersed and disappeared under that much sunlight," Gray answered. "I'm surprised there still that much left."

"And the pixies?"

"Purified by a celestial mage."

"What?!" Lyon exclaimed, running to Gray. "Weren't they all dead?"

"Well, one survived. You know well bad grass don't die that easily."

"Take Ul, for example," agreed Lyon, remembering their adoptive mother who had aged throughout the years. "Speaking of which, she's up to something again."

"Not again," Gray said. He finally took out the cloth stuck on his nostrils and inhaled. "Well, what is it this time?"

Lyon looked at the amulet and smiled as it shone dark purple. "Remember that really bulky brother of those pixies?"

"Yeah? What about him?"

"He's the next experiment."

Lyon smiled evilly and walked ahead of Gray, who was having second thoughts. Ul wasn't just a genius—she was an evil genius. And she had been capturing all kinds of interesting creatures to experiment on them, swallowing them up in darkness. So far her experiments were strong but they were destructive, too. And even though he was playing the bad guy, Gray just didn't feel right. He felt as if he wasn't for destruction at all.

He was for something else.

A/N: HAHAHAH! Gray is a pervert, Gray is a pervert! Imagine him losing his virginity to Lucy *O* BEST. DREAM. EVAAAA! Oh, sorry for the INNOCENT people.
