Sorry I haven't been able to post. I will be really busy from now on so I might not have scheduled posts. Just when ever I can get them in.
Lucy woke up bright and early at 8 am. She got up and dressed and started to cook herself some breakfast. Once she was ready for the day she sat down on her bed, pulled out a book and started to read. At around 11 am Lucy got tired of waiting and decided to wake Natsu up. "Okiru Natsu!" Lucy called as she shoved Natsu vigorously to wake him up. " S-shut u-up Lu-cce" Natsu whined as he slowly awakened. Natsu now fully awake purked up, searched the room with his eyes, found Lucy and calmed down. " How long did you intend to sleep?" Lucy asked teasingly. "What time is it?" Natsu asked searching for a clock. " Its 11" Lucy answered. " Then about 3 more hours" Natsu smiled his big toothy grin. " So what's the plan for today, Luce?" Natsu asked curiously. " Well, we are going to take a train to- " Lucy started. " Whoo! I love the train! Now that I don't get sick at least." Natsu interrupted. " As I was saying, after the train ride, I want to search the city, then the fields, if we still find nothing the sewer." Lucy said kind of grossed out at the idea of the sewer. "Yosh!" Natsu yelled starting to pack up from the hotel. Lucy grabbed her already packed bag and walked out the door to check out of the hotel. Once they were checked out Lucy went back to Natsu to find him done with packing and they walked out the hotel to the train. They boarded their train and rode to Harfednts. After the hour train ride they started to search. Since the potion was in the city last time Lucy wanted to look in the city. Once they looked in every shop, alley, sidewalk, pothole, apartment and hotel Lucy decided that they would start to search in the forest parts of the town. So they looked in all of the ponds, caves, lakes, trees, bushes and puddles. Lucy looking especially hard so that she didn't have to look in the sewer. " Lucy I can't find anything" Natsu whined. " Well look harder! I don't want to look in the sewer!" Lucy cried. It would be too easy for that strange man to find me in the sewer Lucy thought remembering her dream. " Don't tell me your scared of the sewer" Natsu said jokingly. " No its just its dark and dirty and gross" Lucy shivered as she spoke. " Well this forest search is over we are going to the sewer." Natsu said as he started to march away. " Noo" Lucy cried as she followed Natsu. As they reached the streets of Harfednts they found a sewer lids. Lucy picked up the lid with ease with Natsu's strength and Natsu crawled in first. They climbed down the ladder to see your typical sewer. Dirty sidewalks to the sides and murky trash-filled water in the middle. Lucy took her hand and lit a flame in it for a light source. " Which way?" Natsu asked in a serious tone. " Hmm..." Lucy pondered. " Right" Lucy decided. With Natsu in the lead they started to walk. Every single time there was a creek or snap or splash, Lucy jumped. " Lucy you seem a little ... jumpy today." Natsu said concerned. "Jumpy! Jumpy,jumpy,jumpy. Jumpy?" Lucy said in various tones. ' I don't think I am jump- ( SPLASH!) AHHH!" Lucy screamed as she tried to jump on Natsu causing him to fall flat on his face. " What was that for?!" Natsu asked. " I think I may be a little bit jumpy" Lucy shyly spoke. " yeah a little bit" Natsu said sarcastically as he started to walk away. Lucy pouted as she followed. After a lot of walking and random turns Natsu came to a stop. Without realizing Natsu stopped walking Lucy continued to walk. (These sidewalks are very small and drenched with sewer water.) Lucy ran straight into Natsu's back, slipped and fell into the water. " AHHH!" Lucy screamed as she tried to keep herself from drowning. ( Lucy isn't used to Natsu's heavier weight) Natsu pulled out Lucy's whip and threw it to her like a life saver. She grabbed on to it and pulled herself back to the sidewalk. As she climbed onto the sidewalk she saw a door with ancient writing on it. " Natsu look! It has the same language as last time!" Lucy said completely forgetting how she was soaked with sewer water." Yeah! Ikou! Ikou!" Natsu yelled like a little kid on Christmas. Lucy open the door really fast and a blinding light shined from the door. Once the light had dimmed down they could see what was behind the door. " Stairs ...?" Natsu asked.
