"Has any of you seen Natsu anywhere?" He roared with just a tiny hint of worry in his voice.

"No we haven't, but Jellal was just in here a minute ago asking the same thing. He left with Erza to go look for him and Lucy" informs Mira.

"I'll help you look for him though just give me a minute" she says as she got her sister Lisanna to watch the bar.

They searched high and low just like Mavis did a few moments ago. After a couple of hours they were starting to think they would never find their lost friends. Meanwhile the two supposedly lost teens were having the time of their lives becoming the best of friends in only that one day. "Hahahahaha!" Natsu roared "Ok can I ask you a serious question"

"Yeah sure" Lucy says wiping a tear from her eyes

"Why were you sleeping on the ground earlier?"

"Oh" she mutters with sadness in her voice "I kind of ran away from home"

"Why"

"Because papa was hurting because of me so I left"

"But why were you sleeping on the ground"

"I thought someone was following so I ran and hadn't realized I ran so far"

"Ohhh" Natsu murmurs "Don't you have somewhere to stay though"

"Yeah I was heading to my friend M..." She trails off "Ahhh, I totally forgot I was going to Mira's, I have to hurry and get over there" she practically screams searching for her things

"Wait!" He yells making her stop "I don't want you to walk by yourself in the dark, I'll take you" he says preparing for flight.

" Thank you" she whispered getting on his back, a little embarrassed by her outburst while climbing on his back. Now he wasn't too happy about having to never see her again, but he kept quit the whole time. In fact the whole ride was silent. "Ok Luce, we're here" he announced to the distracted blonde

"Oh, uh thanks Natsu"

"No problem, well see ya Luce" says our disappointed dragon

"Wait" he stops letting her continue "This doesn't have to be goodbye, would you be ok with me visiting you"

"Of course, you can visit me anytime you want" he excitedly says "Well see ya later Luce" with that he flew off back to his cave. 'Well I hope Mira is home' Lucy thought as she knocked on the door of Mira's house. "Coming!" Mira yells as she approaches the door. When she opened the door she a wide smile stretched across her face. "Oh dear Mavis, Lucy!" she shout tackling her with a bone crushing hug. Releasing the now blue Lucy, she yells "Where have you been!? We've been looking for you all day!"

"Uh...um...uhh..well" Lucy says struggling to conceal her blush

"Did you meet a guy? Is that what that is?" questions the now smirking sparkling eyed Mira

"What? No...uh well...no of course not" the red faced blond stuttered

"Yeah whatever you say, but I'm so glad your ok"

"Yeah...uh Mira can I live with you" she shyly asks

"What! Why Lucy?" Mavis asked appearing out of nowhere

"Because I dont want to be ignored anymore by papa" she says with a saddened voice

"Aww, of course you can Lucy, come right in" Mira says feeling bad for Lucy. As Mira was getting a room set for Lucy, Mavis went to tell Erza that Lucy is ok, leaving Lucy to her thoughts. 'I wonder if Natsu is ok. I should go visit him tomorrow and keep him company, he did seem lonely and sad when he left. Now that I think about it haven't I heard that name before somewhere. "Lucy your room is ready!" Mira shouts from the room pulling Lucy out of her thoughts. "Thanks Mira, goodnight" yawned Lucy entering the room.

"No problem, goodnight"

The next day was a very hectic day for Lucy. As soon as she entered Fairy Tail, she was bombarded with questions. She could hardly even open her mouth without another question being thrown at her. "Be quiet!" exclaimed an irritated Erza "Let Lucy speak!"

"Thanks Erza. I'm fine everyone no need to worry, I just got a little lost is all" Lucy says after the pub calmed down. With that everything went back to normal, well except for a worried Laxus and Jellal sitting at the bar. Other than that the day was pretty normal for Lucy, although she couldn't keep the thought of a certain dragon out of her mind. 'I should go visit him, he must be so lonely' with that thought she left the pub and jogged toward the mountains. "Hey Natsu!" she yelled as soon as she reached the bottom of the mountains

"Hi Luce, I'm coming down" he says with eyes full of happiness.

"I missed you" he said as he landed next to her

"I missed you too, Natsu" she replies handing him food. This has then became a regular thing for the both of them. Meeting up everyday at the base of the mountain around lunch and hanging out. Of course no one really noticed that Lucy would leave everyday at the same time, until about two months after. "Where do you think Lucy goes everyday?" Mira asked to Erza, Mavis, Jellal and Laxus

"Thats a good question, but shouldn't we be more worried about Natsu. No one has seen him for two months" Jellal informs the group

"True, finding Natsu should be our first priority, but I'm worried about where Lucy is going" Mavis says

"Can't you just follow her?" Laxus asked rather annoyed that no one cares that Natsu is still missing

"I can't enter that part of town without permission, its sacred ground" she retorts

"Sacred ground for what" Laxus spits back

"Ok you two back on topic, lets just follow Lucy today to see where she goes and then tomorrow we can all search again for Natsu, agreed?" Mira asks looking around for objections. Getting none they get ready to spy on Lucy. They follow her all the way to the base of the mountains, where they hide behind some bushes. "Natsu I'm here!" they hear Lucy call out

"Who is she talking too" whispers Laxus

"Shhhh, or we'll get caught" Mira hushes. When they turn their attention back to Lucy, they see her and a red dragon talking.

"What the h…!" Jellal shouts only to get tackled

"Shhhh, they'll hear us" Mavis whisper yells

"Too late" says Lucy appearing in front of them with Natsu beside her

"Hehe, Hi Lucy" Mira laughs nervously

"What are you guys doing here?" an angered Lucy asks

"We're spying on you" Erza answers bluntly

"Just come out" Lucy sighed "Introduce yourself" she says looking back to the red colored dragon.

"Hi guys its me Natsu" he says recognizing them

"Is that really you Natsu?" an uncertain Jellal asks

"Yep, its really me, Natsu. I've missed you guys so much!" Natsu exclaims. After the initial shock, everyone runs up to him engulfing him in hugs leaving a very confused Lucy behind. 'Why is everyone so happy to see him. Oh, now I remember, Natsu went missing and this is the same Natsu, no wonder his name sounded familiar'

"Lucy, you knew Natsu was here the whole time and didn't say anything" Mavis says

"Sorry, I didn't realize it was the same person, sorry" Lucy replies embarrassed

"It's ok Lucy. Natsu, who did this to you?" Mavis asks

"Some evil wizard wearing a black cloak" he replies only to receive gasps from the group in front of him

"Zeref did this to you Natsu? Oh no, how are we going to reverse it?" a concerned Mavis wonders out loud

"He said that I have to learn of the worlds greatest treasure in order to turn back to normal" he says trying to help out

"He'll never turn back!" Laxus yells out

"Natsu, why don't you try coming back home?" Erza suggests

"No, everyone was scared of me. Thats why I left" Natsu states

"Please Natsu, we miss you" Mira pleads

"Ok, I guess" he murmurs as he prepared to fly towards town. When they got there everyone freaked out at seeing a dragon again, but over time they came to accept Natsu being a dragon. Its been about six months since Natsu came back to town. Everyone is still trying to find a way to reverse his curse while he ponders about the world's greatest treasure and about a certain blond haired beauty. 'How am I ever going to figure out the world's greatest treasure? I wonder what it is anyway, maybe its food or like actual treasure. Speaking of food I'm hungry, when will Luce get here with some food. She's so pretty and cute. Her smile and laugh are so gorgeous. I think I might like her.' Natsu thinks waiting outside of Fairy Tail for his best friend in the whole world. "Hey Natsu, sorry if I made you wait, heres your food" says Lucy appearing through the doors of the pub with a cart full of food

"Thanks Luce, I starving" Natsu states sucking up the food 'Maybe I should ask her about the worlds greatest treasure' He thinks

"Lucy, do you know what the worlds greatest treasure is?" he asks after he finished

"Yeah of course I do. Its love, love makes the world go 'round" she says with a wide smile.

'Man shes cute' "Really, I didn't think of that" Natsu whispers

"Good luck figuring out who you love Natsu. I have to go now, bye" Lucy calls out heading to Mira's leaving Natsu alone in the middle of town. 'If I were to love someone it would most likely be Lucy, but do I like her like that' he ponders as he heads home himself.
