Hiya dudes and girls! For some reason I'm getting tired of minna. This is the 10th chapter. Isn't that amazing? I actually managed to get to the tenth chapter. So, read on! :D

Natsu and Lucy stayed there for what seemed like hours. Natsu, after repeatedly trying to climb up, or use his magic to blast a hole (apparently the walls had some sort of protection spell on it0, and Lucy trying to call her spirits, whom she had forgotten had taken the day off, both gave up and sat on the dirt floor.

After a moment Natsu spoke. "Remember there was that surprise I told you about?"

"Uh-huh."

"Well, I was going to buy you something you told me about. But it cost, like, a zillion jewels."

"What is it?" Lucy was curious now.

"A...a Stellar Stone." Why was he blushing? Natsu was thankful the hole was dark.

Stellar Stones were rare and expensive, according to Lucy. They came in a variety of colours: green, pink, blue, red. When a special command was uttered, the stone brightened and the stars trapped inside it would come out and shine the color of the stone. Natsu could still remember that time she mentioned it...

Flashback

"Can we go now?" Natsu asked impatiently. He was bored to death. "I want to fight Gray. He put a ton of salt in my drink."

"Just...a few...more...pages..." Lucy mumbled absently, her eyes glued to a book she had selected at the Magnolia bookstore. They were inside, Natsu leaning on the wall, his hands cushioning his head, and Lucy sitting cross legged on the floor.

Lucy slammed the book shut. "Okay! Let's go." She paid for the book and they strolled outside. It had begun to rain.

Must be Juvia at it again, he thought.

As they walked home, slightly faster because of the rain, Lucy suddenly stopped. She stared at a blue stone behind a shop window. Rain dripped from her blond hair.

Lucy's chocolate eyes were sparkling. "Isn't it the most beautiful thing you've seen? I wonder what the stars inside it look like. You know, only the most powerful mages have the ability to catch stars." She sighed and gazed at the stone wistfully, ignoring the rain.

At that moment, he felt a little disappointed. Not because he wanted to see the stars too, but because Lucy was disappointed. He wanted to quench that wist and longing, so she would be happy.

The numbers beside the stone were a little big, however.

"Say, you wanna go on another mission?" Natsu asked. "I could really use a little money."

End of Flashback

Lucy was quiet for such a long time Natsu thought she either hadn't heard him or was mad at him.

"Is that why you asked what my favorite color is?" Lucy said at last.

When he nodded, Natsu could tell she was smiling. She leaned forward. Before he could react, she gave him a kiss on the cheek. Her vanilla and lily scent lingered for a moment before she pulled away.

"Thank you," Lucy said, beaming.

"Huh? It's nothing," Natsu said, his cheeks red. "We're nakama, right?"

"We are..." She sounded a little disappointed. "By the way, where did Happy go?"

"He's gone," Natsu said, trying not to explode because of the worry that was building up inside of him for his friend. "He just disappeared after I fell in this hole."

"What?" Lucy was alarmed. "But why?"

"I don't know." Natsu pounded his fist against the wall in frustration. "I still have no idea what the hell is going on. If Happy was here, we'd be out by now."

"Looking for me?" Both Fairy Tail wizards looked up at the open trapdoor. The shadow of Happy could be seen.

"Heaven's Wheel!"

"Ice Make, Cannon!"

They were losing the battle. The man with the red eyes, redder that Gajeel's, just looked bored. Their unison raid managed to make him stumble back a few steps, but that was it. There were no scratches on him.

Erza and Gray were panting hard, but their opponent smiled.

"Not a match for me, hmm?" he said.

"I will not lose." Erza's voice was low and dark. She reequiped into her fastest armor. "I have found your weakness, and I will not dirty the name of Fairy Tail."

Erza cast several more blades at him. He blocked them with his orbs, which surrounded him in a semicircle. Erza, as quick as a jaguar, scampered behind him. His dark orbs moved to his back to block her attacks.

"Gray, now!" Erza shouted.

"Ice Make, Super Freeze Arrows!" His arrows knocked the man down. The man coughed weakly, but when he tried to get up, Erza kicked him down with her foot.

"Your defense is almost perfect," Erza said, "but to achieve such great power, you cannot block all sides."

"I, Seti, has not defeated you," Seti said hoarsely. "However, my brothers and sisters are greater and stronger than I. Be prepared."

The prophecy. Lucifer's worst nightmare was that the prophecy would come true. If that were so, then all his plans were for nothing.

Please tell me what you think, and what I should improve on! Also, what are flames?
