I really don't have anything to say here, so ONTO THE STORY!


Papers, please

'Congratulations. The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled. For immediate placement, report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint. An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin. Expect a Class-8 dwelling.

Glory to Arstotzka.'

Natsu's hands shook as he read the paper. The government picked him? Of all people, it had to be him? What was he to do? His family would never allow it. No matter what he did, Igneel and Grandine would not let them move. He had on choice, and that was to sneak out at night and make it to Grestin.

He decided to do it tonight.

~14 hours later~

He arrived at his post, with the simplest of rules:

1. Entrants must have a passport.

2. Foreigners must have an entry permit and ticket.

3. Arstotzkans do not require an entry permit or ticket.

-Glory to Arstotzka

Natsu read the rules twice over, to make sure he had them down. 'Don't mess up, Natsu. You've got this.' He turned on the intercom. "Next!"

Right off the bat, an Arstotzkan slammed his passport down. "Finally, I can return home." He said, as Natsu checked the passport. "Uh.. sir? This Passport expired three years ago." The Pinkette explained. The Arstotzkan scoffed, however. "You do realize who I am, right? I own thirty of Arstotzka's largest banks!"

Natsu glared at the man, before placing a red stamp over the passport. "Come back when you have a current passport, and I'll accept you in." The man scoffed and walked out of line. The teen sighed before calling on the speaker again. "Next!"

Suddenly, a blonde girl walked into the booth, and when Natsu saw her, he blushed immediately. "Hello ma'am! How are you?" He asked, and she smiled. "Hello! I am here to enter for about two weeks." She handed him her passport, and Natsu looked at it carefully. 'She doesn't have any other documents.. and she's from Rebublia...' He thought, but shook it off. He gave the passport a green stamp, and grinned at her. "Here you go, Miss Heartfilia!"

Lucy smiled and walked off into Arstotzka, and when Natsu got a citation, he sighed. 'Whatever, it's only one citation.' He thought.

The next few days went by quickly, as he made sure to get every citizen in or out, if they had the right documents. Even though there had been multiple terrorist attacks on the checkpoint, he tried to be happy still. Seeing Lucy made him even happier, as she came through the border every once in a while. Today, however, was different.

Lucy walked into the checkpoint, and Natsu instantly grinned. "Heya Luce! Why are ya here today?" He asked. "Oh you know, seeing my favorite inspector~" She teased. He blushed and instantly sighed. "Whatever. Papers, Please." She handed him all the documents required. "Oh ho ho.. all of the documents this time?" She nodded and Natsu checked through all of them. "Well, you have all of them, so I'm gonna stamp you in-"

Suddenly, the guards of the border were killed in an explosion, as three gunners jumped out of a van. Natsu gritted his teeth. "Luce, get down." He quickly picked up his gun and shot down all three of them. He sighed and looked at the Blonde. "You okay?" He asked, as she stood up and wrapped her arms around him and gave him a kiss.

"Thank you so much!" She quickly ran into Arstotzka, before giving him a slip of paper. He read the little slip and was shocked.

Apartment - 1201 East Grestin Lane, See you tonight!

~Lucy
