Uhm, Sorry that I didn't update lately, if anyone read Something's missing than you know that I had (and still have, urrgh) a writer's block. But I'm pushing me now to write so don't expect too much.

Chapter X (I don't know anymore)

Lucy woke up early by the sunlight tickling her eyes. She moaned and turned around when she realized what happened yesterday night. She really slept next to the captain of the Fairy Tail crew, who (she had just read that in the book she had found) was raised by a dragon and can punch with fire and eat it. The Fairy Tail crew was the only pirate crew in this world with mages in it. All the other ones went to the army or to the government. Mages were known as the most loyal inhabitants in this world. Lucy sat up and rubbed her eyes. Natsu was already upstairs. However, she wasn't scared of him though she knew all that stuff. Lucy's stomach growled and she recognized that she was hungry. Natsu's cooking abilities were the only thing you had to scare.

Lucy smiled a bit. Normally you could scare her pretty good and now she trusted this guy though he was probably someone you were scared of very fast.

Lucy decided since she was bored to look around a bit. She already found this informatics book, maybe here was something another too. She walked to the desk in Natsu's room and looked through the maps and stuff.

Then the door opened. She turned around to see the familiar pinky and gave him a smile. He returned it and started to explain:

"Sorry, I had to make clear that I have the watch tonight, 'cause we're near the island." Lucy gave him an even huger smile. That meant she could go off this ship and start her new really free live. Somehow, she was a tiny bit disappointed too. She finally made something like a friend in Natsu and now they would desperate again.

Time skip: Nighttime

Lucy waited onto Natsu's desk. She didn't care that she was sitting on his stuff. She just waited for him coming into his room and getting her out of this ship onto the little lifeboat so she could paddle over to the island. Natsu had told her to take her stuff but hey, there wasn't any so she just could go just right now.

Finally the door opened, revealing Natsu who gestured her to come and Happy who had tears in his eyes. Lucy went out of his room and followed him upstairs. He stepped out of the storeroom (A/N: Remember, there was first the storeroom and then Natsu's room) and led her to the railing. There laid a prepared lifeboat. She just had to walk into it and she was free- not reliant on anybody. Lucy turned around to Natsu who somehow seemed very relaxed-did he know something, she didn't know?- and Happy who cried now.

"So I guess we have to say goodbye now." She whispered. Probably nobody would hear them if they were speaking next to the railing but she hadn't enough energy to speak loud too. Happy cried even more.

"Yeah, I think so." Natsu replied. He pulled Lucy in a hug but let go after second again. However it was enough time for both to blush. Lucy turned around pretending not to see his blush and not to feel her own blush. She hurried into the boat and waved goodbye to Natsu and Happy while Natsu let her down into the water. There she got the oars and paddled towards the black silhouette she figured out as the island.

Once she arrived at the docks, the island fortunately had (She doesn't know it's Tortuga!). She stood up and went out of the boat slightly scared at the sight in front of her. Men were fighting everywhere, she could hear shots and the women were dressed like whores or like pirates. Anyways, everyone was dressed like pirates! Maybe it wasn't a good idea to paddle to this island. Someone will know that I'm Lucy Heartfilia for sure and then I will have a huge problem! She thought. She turned around to step into the boat and paddle away again but the boat wasn't there anymore! Lucy stopped in her tracks. Then she noticed the boat floating on the ocean. Lucy face-palmed herself. She had forgotten to tie it at the docks! And now she was stuck on this island full of pirates. And she wouldn't become a whore, surely not! Lucy-still at the docks-tried to make a plan.

Okay Lucy, First step: Try to get away from these docks and not get noticed and chased or get raped. Second step: Survive the night somehow. Third step: Get away from this island and kill Natsu because he surely knew that here's such an island! Forth step: Get a new identity and flee from his crew before they can revenge. Maybe I shouldn't kill him. Lucy sighed. The first step of her plan was hard enough. She gritted her teeth and walked forward to the fighting crowd, stiff as a board. Maybe the crowd would hide her.

Soon she had to push and pull and squeeze herself through the huge pirate crowd. She halted when a pirate flew in front of her in a window but that didn't seem rare here so she just walked further. Fortunately the crowd disappeared soon. Lucy nearly made a jump out of joy. The first step of her plan succeeded! Now she had to find a place to sleep. She walked further through the empty and dark alleys until she stopped in front of a rather luxury place. It had letters on the roof, which said that it was a hotel/pub. It seemed popular on this island because here the crowd appeared again and in front of the building sang some drunken pirates ship songs. Lucy walked further and pushed and pulled again until she stumbled into the house.

It seemed as if there were even more drunken pirates in it and no one seemed to be sober. Except the maids. Lucy walked over to the maid at the bar.

"Excuse me?"Lucy asked.

"How can I help you?" she asked. She was white-haired and wore pink long dress. She sure is beautiful! Lucy thought.

"Is this really a hotel too or just a pub?" Lucy asked. It didn't seem as if there were some rooms to sleep in.

"Sure!" the girl said smiling. "But the most are only sleeping in the pub. Do you want to have a room?" she asked.

"That would be nice." Lucy said. Just then she realized that she couldn't get a room.

"Ack!" she said just after she replied to the barmaid. She looked at Lucy curious. "I can't pay the room. I guess then I just have to sleep somewhere on the street. Sorry for the disruption." She apologized. She turned around but got caught by the wrist. Lucy looked back to see the barmaid holding her wrist over the bar and smiling at her.

"Everyone here doesn't have money because everyone spent all their money for booze. We give the room to you without a price." She explained. Lucy looked at her confused.

"You say that you're giving the rooms for free to strangers?" she asked confused. The barmaid nodded.

"Well, we don't give the rooms to strangers, because they have to tell their name. You can have one if you want. I'm Mirajane and you?" Mirajane explained. She finally let go of Lucy's hand and Lucy sat smiling onto one of the chairs she pointed on, gesturing her to sit down.

"I'm Lucy, nice to meet you." She said.

"Same here." She answered. "So you'll take a room, right?" Lucy nodded as a reply. "Then I have to tell Master Makarov, wait here!" she said, rushing off into a door behind her. Soon she came again with a really tiny man behind her. The man hopped onto the bar and held her hand towards Lucy. She shook it.

"Hello, I'm Master Makarov. Pleased to meet you. So you want to take a room, huh?" he said.

"I'm Lucy. Yes, I want to take one." She replied. She felt a little bit uncomfortable next to him because he considered her as if she was a tool and his glance stopped a little bit too long at her breast.

"You can have it." He said, turned around and jumped down the bar. He went through the door behind again and Mira, who stood the whole time behind Master Makarov, gestured her to follow him. Lucy walked around the bar and followed him into a corridor behind the door. Makarov stopped in front of one of the doors in the corridor.

"This one should be free. And don't get scared too much when you wake up tonight because someone comes in your room. Sometimes a drunken guest gets lost and walks into the rooms."

"O-okay" Lucy said and walked into the room. A hotel where some strangers came into the rooms? Weird. But at least now she knew where to sleep today. Lucy fell onto the bed. Yosh, she was tired and the day was so exhausting. Lucy soon fell asleep.

Finally I wrote the next chappie. So guys, hope you liked it. Bye!
