Chapter 14: Old Acquaintances
Natsu woke at his usual time like always and went outside of the town to do his morning training, which then had him finishing up at around ten in the morning. This meant that he could get his new clothes whenever he wanted, and he decided that it would probably be for the best if he got them after he cleaned up. So Natsu headed back to the hotel and had a quick shower and then checked out of the hotel, and then made his way to the Lone Tailor to pick up his clothes.
He entered and was immediately greeted by a different assistant than the previous day, this time it was a brunette haired girl. She had an overall attractive figure, but in Natsu's opinion couldn't hold a candle when compared to Mira in all her beautiful glory. "How may I be of assistance to you today, Sir?" asked the assistant.
"Oh, I am just picking up some clothes that you guys are making for me, here's the ticket." said Natsu as he took out the ticket from yesterday. The assistant looked it over, and then her eyes shot wide and she then looked at the ticket and then back to Natsu and did this action a few more times, still not being able to believe something about the ticket, Natsu assumed.
"Please follow me this way Sir, the owner would like to talk with you if that is okay?" said the assistant now having a faint blush dusting her cheeks.
"What does he want with me?" asked Natsu as he stopped, a little concerned that he might have done something wrong yesterday, but couldn't think of anything that would warrant him meeting the owner.
"I don't know Sir, the staff was just informed that if someone came to pick up this order, we were to take them to the owner if they were will." replied the assistant, who now for some reason wouldn't look into Natsu's eyes.
"Well I don't see any reason why not to, lead the way madam." replied Natsu, hoping that it was the correct way to speak to a lady formally, which Natsu has never been really good at. The assistant let out a small giggle that she quickly tried to stop with her hands but it was already heard by Natsu, which caused him to give her one of his patented grins that he could only do.
"Follow we this way then Sir." she said quickly as she turned around and took off, trying to hide the fact that her blush was getting bigger. She led Natsu to the back of the store where it looked like the breakroom would be and where any of their offices would be, she then led him to a very nice door that had the name Mr. Matsumoto on it. She then knocked on the door, and waited for a reply which didn't take long.
"You may enter." said whoever was on the other side of the door.
"Mr. Matsumoto, you said that we were to bring you the customer who made that special order yesterday." the assistant said as she opened the door and stood in the doorway.
"Well here he is Mr. Matsumoto." she said as she stepped aside to reveal Natsu.
"Oh my, it is you Mr. Dragneel!" said Matsumoto, clearly surprised to see Natsu standing before him.
"Yes, so might I ask what is all of this about?" asked Natsu, once again trying to be respectful and a proper gentleman.
"Oh nothing bad, I was just looking through the orders yesterday and saw yours which was quite unique. I wanted to know who would request such a set of splendid clothing with the requirement of being fire proof, and all I could think of was you Mr. Dragneel. So I talked with the assistant that helped you make the order yesterday, and asked him to describe you, which he did quite a good job at, he even mentioned your new hair style so I didn't know if it was actually you, so that is why I asked my employees to bring you here when you came to pick them up, so I could see for myself. I am a huge fan of yours, I mean who isn't these days, you have already saved Fiore a few times." said Mr. Matsumoto, happy to have Natsu in his office.
"Well, I am the one and only Natsu Dragneel, and I am always glad to meet a fan of mine, it's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Matsumoto." said Natsu with a small grin on his face, always glad to be praised by his fans.
"Oh no, the pleasure is all mine Mr. Dragneel, and I do have another reason for asking you here." said Mr. Matsumoto, with a huge grin now on his face.
"And what might that be?" inquired Natsu.
"Well since you are such a well know mage, I was thinking that I might make you your own clothing line, to sell at my store. Would you be interested in that at all Mr. Dragneel?" asked Mr. Matsumoto hopefully.
"I have been actually asked this before Mr. Matsumoto, and I turned them down. But I am willing to hear out your proposal before I make my decision." replied Natsu, shocking the assistant and Matsumoto that he has already had offers. But Mr. Matsumoto quickly recovered and decided to at least try, because if he did get Natsu's approval, he would be selling something that only his stores had which would definitely help business. Not to mention, that he would be selling probably the only other merchandise approved by the Salamander himself, other than what they sell at Fairy Tail, which in itself is worth a ton, so he decided that he needed to make this deal work.
"Okay Mr. Dragneel I was thinking…." said Mr. Matsumoto but was interrupted by Natsu.
"Sorry but could you just call me Natsu?" asked Natsu not really used to being called by his last name, it just felt weird to him.
"No problem Natsu." replied Mr. Matsumoto while smiling at him.
"Well as I was saying, I would like you to have your own line of clothes, but unlike your other offers the clothing that you would be promoting would be your new outfit that you made here yesterday. Which I can assume no one else thought of since they probably wanted to knock off your other outfits that you wore. But what I saw of this new outfit that you created, it will be a one of kind that everyone will want, not just because your name is on it, but because it looks really good especially if we use that emblem you have on them." said Mr. Matsumoto hoping that he at least peaked Natsu's interest.
"I am intrigued, what else were you thinking?" asked Natsu, thinking that since he was no longer a mage at Fairy Tail he might need another source of income other than the odd jobs he planned on taking every now and again. And this could turn out to be pretty much free money for him since all he would have to do was approve the clothing and probably pose for a few pictures so that they could advertise them.
"Well apart from stuff that you already picked out. We would probably add, cuff links, ties, a watch, a different style of dress coat, a new hat like yours with a strip going around it with your new emblem, which with your approval I would like to make the logo of your line and somewhat be your stamp of approval. I was thinking that the only other clothing that we would sell under Salamander Collection, which would also be the name of this line if it is okay with you of course, would be a set of work out clothing that would be very simple. They would be just like any other sweat suit or training gear that you see people working out in, except for it would have your logo on it and a strip on the sides in a different color, which we already made some so that you can see what they would look like." said Mr. Matsumoto
The assistant was now holding up two sets of the work out gear which consisted of hoodless zip up sweat shirt, a white t-shirt, sweat pants, socks, and a pair of running shoes. These all of course had the emblem on them, and the colors of the outfits were black with white side stripes and white with blue side stripes. They were just like Mr. Matsumoto said they would be plain and simple nothing fancy about them except for the emblem on them that matched the color of the side stripes.
"We would also sell work out towels, headbands, and wrist bands as well if you would be fine with that? We were also thinking that we would have two different lines of these clothes, one that is fireproof just like yours and one that isn't which would make them a lot cheaper for the customers. Now down to how much you would get from this, I would be willing to give you thirty five percent of the profit on all the Salamander merchandise that we sell here, but I can't go any higher than that. So what do you say?" asked Mr. Matsumoto.
"I have only two questions, when will you start selling them and when would I have to come in to get pictures taken in the clothes if I decide that I want to go ahead with this?" asked Natsu raising an eyebrow.
"Well the soonest that we could get everything set up and ready to be sold would be in four months, which would mean that if you could come back here in three months for the photos that would be great." replied Mr. Matsumoto.
"Well that is just way to convenient to say no to, I plan on being in the area in three month. So I guess that means I am down for it, so what do I need to sign?" asked Natsu.
"Here is all of the legal paper work you need to sign." said the assistant dropping a big stack of papers in front of him. This caused Natsu to let out a groan.
"While you are looking over that I will go get your cloths Mr. Salamander." said the assistant with a blush on her face that she was no longer trying to hide.
"Thanks" replied Natsu.
"Oh, we are going to be also giving you eight workout outfits two of each color just like your suits. Oh and you don't really need to read all of that paperwork, I wouldn't be dumb enough to try and rip off the Salamander." said Mr. Matsumoto while chuckling.
"Well you would actually be surprised what some people think they can get away with, so I am going to read them just to be safe, no offense Mr. Matsumoto." said Natsu.
"None taken, it is always smart to read over everything when doing a business transaction." replied Mr. Matsumoto while smiling at him.
Natsu then spent the next two hours reading and signing the paper work, when he was done he shook Mr. Matsumoto sealing the deal and was glad to get up and change into one of his new outfits, the grey with black pin stripes. He then said his goodbyes to Mr. Matsumoto and said that he would be back in three months. Before he left, Natsu put all of new clothing and old ones into his pocket dimension, yes he could use re-equip but not like Erza. He couldn't put them on or take them off with the magic, it took him quite a lot of time and effort to use but it sure beat lugging around a whole bunch of things with him, while also making it almost impossible for someone to steal from him. With all of his stuff stored he was now ready to head out on a new adventure.
Natsu decided that he would go and check out this rumor about a monster or demon near Lamia Scale, since it was the closest interesting thing he heard while in the bar last night. It was going to be a three day walk for him to get from here to the town that Lamia Scale was in, he actually didn't mind walking he actually enjoyed it and it also meant that he wouldn't have to go on one of those metal deathtraps. Once he gets there his plan was to try and find out more about what was going on, if anything was actually happening at all, he knew about rumors and how most of the time they were false.
The three day walk there was quite uneventful; the only thing that was even remotely noteworthy was that each night he talked to both Mira and Wendy. He could tell that they were always trying to get some information out of him, about what he was doing or where he was, but Natsu saw through all of their attempts and didn't let any useful information slip. So they mostly talked about what Mira or Wendy were up too, which Natsu really enjoyed because it made him almost feel like he was still there. He just got to the town that holds the guild Lamia Scale, which he had a few friends and acquaintances that were members of the guild, but he was confident that his new look would be enough for him to not get noticed by any members of Lamia Scale. So Natsu just strolled right on in and looked for an all you can eat restaurant since it was now a little past noon.
But Natsu was wrong about that assumption, because he didn't know that one of their members already knew about him leaving Fairy Tail. That member was none other than Chelia Blendy, who happened to be one of Wendy's best friends who wasn't a member of Fairy Tail, which is also the reason why Chelia knew of his departure from Fairy Tail. She hadn't told anyone at her guild yet, not knowing if Fairy Tail was going to make an announcement about it or if they wanted to keep it quiet for now. So she decided that she would tell them the truth once they started to hear rumors about the Salamander no longer being a member of Fairy tail. Well that was her until she ran into the ex-fairy tail member that she happened to only notice him by accident, as if fate wanted it to happen.
Chelia was just doing some simple shopping in the market; well I guess you could more accurately describe it as just looking at a few things here and there, never actually buying anything unless she felt that she absolutely must have it. Well today was one of those days were she didn't find anything that she wanted so she decided to head back to the guild and see if anything interesting was going on, but as she turned around she ran into someone.
"Sorry Sir, I didn't look where I was going." apologized Chelia.
"It's okay, no harm done." said the man not even looking at her, who seemed to be watching someone intently.
"Well goodbye Miss." he said, once again not even looking at her and following after the man that he was watching.
Chelia couldn't help but feel like she knew that man from somewhere. It was just something about his aura that made you feel safe and that nothing could go wrong when he was there, but she just couldn't place who else she knew that had this same aura. She also couldn't recall anyone that dressed like this man. Who was wearing a white pin striped suit and had a black coat draped over his shoulders while also wearing a black fedora and black sunglasses. But the thing that really stood out to her was the weird red dragon emblem that was on the back of his coat, she was confident that she knew all of the emblems for all of the legal guilds and most of the illegal guilds as well and she had never once seen this emblem before. So with that in mind she decided to follow this stranger and see what he was up too.
As she was following him she still couldn't shake the feeling that she knew him. As she followed him she noticed that the emblem was also on the side of his sunglasses and also on the left breast of both his suit's blazer and vest. She then finally took notice of his hair, which instantly got her to think of Natsu because he had pink hair like this stranger but his tips weren't red like this guys. But now that she thought of Natsu she realized that he had the same aura as this man. She knew that Natsu was no longer a member of Fairy Tail, but she couldn't believe that he would change this much in such a short time, so now she was really curious if this was indeed the well-known Salamander. If so what was the meaning of the emblem on the back of his coat, did he already join a new guild, she needed answers so she continued her tailing of this strange man.
She followed him for a few more minutes and was getting really bored because he just seemed to be to following some random citizen around town, and she wasn't finding any more clues if this was indeed Natsu Dragneel. That was until the next thing happened; the man that the stranger was following grabbed a girl covering her mouth and took her into the nearby ally. Chelia gasped and rushed into the ally to help save the girl, but what she saw next clearly told her who the stranger was.
As she rounded the corner she saw the girl all by herself completely unharmed but was completely transfixed on what was happening further down the ally. Just a little way down from the girl was the man that grabbed the girl and the man that Chelia had been following earlier, but the shocking part was that the stranger was holding the other man by his throat while his whole body was lit a flame, except for the hand that was holding the other man. She also noticed that there was a knife on the ground at their feet and it also looked like the man that was being held up, now had a broken left hand or wrist, she couldn't tell which.
"So I will ask you again, what were, you going to do to that girl!" asked the man on fire while now showing of his large canines with his growl.
"I was just going to rob her I swear and I will never try something like this ever again, please for the love of god don't kill me." cried out the man being held up.
"That better be the god dam truth, because if I find out that you do something like this again…" the stranger paused to make sure that his words would be heard by the man that he held.
"I will hunt you down no matter where you try to hide and end you, this I promise you as the one and only Salamander!" declared the stranger while punching him in the face, causing the man he was holding to piss himself in fear and recognition that he just pissed off the actual Salamander of Fairy Tail.
The Salamander then let the man go as he also put out the flames that were all over him. He turned and walked away from the man that he literally caused to piss himself and said a final goodbye to piss soaked man.
"Oh and just so you know once a dragon slayer gets a scent they never forget it, so why don't you do something with your life, so I won't have to do random checks on you." he said as he looked over his shoulder at the man and gave him a creepy smile. This caused the man to start shaking more and screamed "Will do Salamander Sir, you won't regret this."
"So how are you feeling young lady, I know that going through something like that can be really scary." Natsu said as he got closer to the girl that he just saved. He was then almost tackled by said girl, as she ran at him and started to hug him while crying.
"Hey it's okay, you're safe now, I won't let anything bad happen to you, I promise." said Natsu as he tried to calm the girl down that was now holding on to him for dear life.
"Okay lets go and find your parents, how does that sound and maybe we could get ice cream on the way." said Natsu now smiling at what he guessed was an eight year old girl in his arms.
"Really, we can get ice cream and then find mama and papa?" asked the girl now no longer crying and looking up at Natsu with hopeful eyes.
"Yep and if you want you can ride on my shoulders, but you will need to tell me your name." said Natsu still smiling at her.
"It's Emi." she said while raising her arms up, signaling that she did in fact want to ride on his shoulders.
"Well that is a beautiful name Emi." Natsu chuckled while putting Emi on his shoulders and then got up and started heading towards the street.
"What's your name mister?" asked Emi as she was playing with Natsu's hat which was right in front of her.
"It's Natsu, and if you want you can wear my hat." replied Natsu to Emi.
"Really, I can wear it?" asked Emi as if she hadn't almost had terrible things done to her moments ago. Luckily she was young enough that she probably didn't know what almost happened to her.
"Yep and Chelia you can come and get ice cream with us if you want." said Natsu to Chelia as he walked past her, while Emi took off his hat and put it on herself and then started giggling because it was a little too big for her. This shocked Chelia because she didn't even know if he saw her or would even remember her, since they have barely interacted with each other alone, so she stood there in her place not moving.
"Or I guess you could follow me like you were before, that was you right?" asked Natsu even though he knew it was.
"Yea it was me, I bumped into you and then thought that you were familiar so I decided to follow you and figure out who you were." replied Chelia as she caught up to Natsu and was walking next to him.
"I felt the same way, but was too concerned about what that creep might try and do. Which I am pretty confident he will never try and do again." said Natsu as he showed Chelia his famous grin.
"I bet you are right on that Natsu-san, I mean you caused him to pee himself and then told him you could find him anywhere on Earth land." said Chelia while giggling at the memory.
"I would if he ever does something like that again." said Natsu with a small growl.
"You could actually find him anywhere on Earth Land?" asked Chelia with slight disbelief.
"Darn right I could, I would definitely be motivated enough to find him again." replied Natsu.
"Natsu is that your girlfriend?" asked Emi while leaning over top of Natsu's head so that she could look at him. This question caused Chelia to instantly start blushing and not being able to find words, while the action of leaning over Natsu's head caused Natsu's hat to fall off her head. Natsu gracefully grabbed the hat before it reached the ground and tossed it back onto Emi's little head.
"Nope she is just a really good friend of mine, her name is Chelia, and if I hadn't been there to help you Chelia would have come and saved you." answered Natsu quickly with so much conviction in his voice that Chelia knew that he believed that she would have done it if he hadn't.
"Really, you would have helped me?" asked Emi looking down at Chelia, once again causing the hat to fall off her head. This was once again instantly caught by Natsu.
"Yep I would have done that for you Emi, what else are big sisters for?" said Chelia smiling and looking up at Natsu with Emi on his shoulders. She then couldn't help but think that Natsu would make a great father from what she saw of him in the past few minutes, and because of that thought she started to blush again.
"Yeah, now I have a big sister!" Emi shouted joyfully from atop of Natsu, causing both herself and Natsu to not notice Chelia blushing up a storm right next to them.
"Well you also need to try and keep my hat on your head better." chuckled Natsu as he tossed his hat onto Emi again, this time it coming down the front of her head a little farther, causing her to not be able to see anything.
"Hey don't do that, I can't see." giggled Emi as she pushed up the hat so she could now see once again.
"Don't do what?" asked Natsu as he reached up and pulled the hat down over her eyes again.
"You just did it again." giggled Emi as she once again pushed the hat up.
"What did I do?" asked Natsu all innocently, while once again pulling the hat down.
"That, right there." laughed Emi after she pushed the hat up again, as she pointed accusingly at Natsu's hand that was coming up once again to try and tip the hat down.
"But I am not doing this!" Natsu said while looking at his hand as if it had a mind of its own and he had no control over it.
"Yes you do." shouted Emi happily as she was swatting away Natsu's hand with her little ones.
They only stopped once they got to a vender who was selling ice cream.
"So what do you two want, my treat?" said Natsu looking at the two girls accompanying him.
"I want a strawberry cone." shouted Emi happily still on top of Natsu, and looked like she didn't plan on coming down anytime soon.
"Okay what about you Chelia?" asked Natsu smiling at her.
"I will just have a vanilla cone please." said Chelia once again blushing and turning away think thoughts, like this is what it would feel like to have a kid with Natsu, which then made her think of what they would have to do in order make that kid causing her to blush even more.
"We will have three ice cream cones please, one strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate please." Natsu said to the ice cream vendor. Who then gave them each their cone that they ordered, and Natsu then paid for them and started to continue their walk while eating their ice cream.
"Where are we going now?" asked Chelia, wondering where he was taking them.
"Well to Emi's parents of course." said Natsu having already finished his ice cream.
"Yeah mama and papa, I can't wait for you two to meet them!" shouted Emi as some of her ice cream had melted and was now dripping onto her hands.
"You know where they are Natsu-san?" asked Chelia not believing that he knew where they were.
"Well I am not one hundred percent sure, more like ninety percent sure. I can smell two scents that if combined smell like Emi here." explained Natsu as he pointed up to Emi.
"Wow that nose of yours can sure come in handy can't it." said Chelia.
"Well sometimes it really can suck especially if there is a really bad smell." replied Natsu as he wrinkled up in disgust his nose remembering some of those horrible smells.
"What do I smell like?" asked Emi.
"Well you smell like cinnamon and strawberries." replied Natsu looking up at her and smiling.
"Yea I love strawberries, what's big sis smell like?" Emi asked while pointing at Chelia.
"Well she smells like the calm before a really big thunderstorm." replied Natsu as if it was nothing. But this once again caused Chelia to start blushing because Natsu was talking about her scent so casually with Emi, when she for some reason felt that it was a very intimate detail. Causing her to zone out and not hear what Emi and Natsu were talking about, when she came back to her sense this is what she heard.
"I really like your hair Natsu." said Emi as she was pulling on his hair.
"Oh you do, it's not too girly for a guy?" asked Natsu while smiling up at her.
"Nope, I think its manly." stated Emi confidently. Oh no not another Elfman thought Natsu to himself.
"Why do you say that?" asked Natsu.
"Because it is your hair color, and you saved me from that bad man." replied Emi.
"Well that is a pretty good reason." said Natsu with a huge smile on his face, touched by her simple reason.
"I also like how the ends are red they remind me of strawberries." declared Emi. Scratch that she is a mixture of both Elfman and Erza thought Natsu which caused him to involuntarily shiver.
"Well Emi, are those your parents up there?" asked Natsu pointing to a couple that just came out of the office building for the rune knights.
"MAMA, PAPA" screamed Emi at the top of her little lungs to get her parents attention while also waving at them.
"EMI" shouted both of the couple while sprinting towards her, as Natsu also took Emi off of his shoulders and set her on the ground. As soon as her feet hit the ground she took off sprinting for her parents, while keeping one hand on Natsu's hat so that she wouldn't drop it, which caused Natsu to start chuckling.
"Emi we were both so worried, what happened we couldn't find you anywhere?" asked Emi's mother while she was still holding her daughter with no intentions of letting her go anytime soon.
"A bad man grabbed me, but Natsu saved me from him, and then we met big sis and then got ice cream. After that we came here to find you and papa." said Emi as she pointed to the people in her explanation of what happened. Causing her parents to look and see who saved their daughter and even brought her back to them. The husband when hearing Natsu's name and now seeing him right in front of him, realized who exactly he was.
"Oh my God, honey the Salamander saved our little girl." said Emi's father pointing at Natsu with disbelief.
"Oh my, thank you Salamander Sir for saving our little Emi." said Emi's mother crying tears of joy that they were lucky enough for the Salamander to save their daughter.
"My wife is right Salamander Sir, thank you and can I give you some jewels for saving our little Emi?" asked the man wanting to show how much he appreciated what the Salamander did for them.
But before Natsu could respond Emi spoke up.
"Mama, papa that isn't a salamander that's Natsu!" she said really confused why her parents kept calling him a lizard.
"HAHAHA, that is just my moniker Emi, which means it's my nickname, just like how you call your mama and papa even though they have another name that almost everyone else uses." explained Natsu as he realized that he just learned what moniker meant so there was no way Emi would know it yet.
"Oh I get it mister Salamander Sir." replied Emi happily.
"You can still just call me Natsu if you want Emi and as for a reward, just seeing your family back together is enough for me." replied Natsu smiling at the little family in front of him.
"Are you sure?" asked Emi's father.
"Positive, and you have a great daughter there but make sure you keep an eye on her, she is a little trouble maker like I was at her age." answered Natsu while chuckling and turning around to leave.
"Please don't go Natsu, I mean Salamander Sir!" said Emi almost in tears. Natsu turned back and came closer to her.
"Don't worry Emi, we can see each other again as long as it's okay with your parents that is, and like I said before you can call me Natsu like you were earlier." stated Natsu, which caused Emi to look up at her parents not even needing to ask the question.
"Of course he can Emi, without him who knows if we very would have ever found you." replied Emi's mother smiling down at her daughter and then directing on at Natsu as well.
"Well I got to now Emi, see you later." said Natsu as he once again turned around to leave, but was stopped again.
"Wait Salamander Sir, what about your hat?" said Emi's father as he took the hat off of his daughter's head, causing her to slightly frown which didn't go unnoticed by Natsu. Natsu then reached out and took the hat from the man.
"Nope this is definitely not my hat; it must be your daughter's because my hat is right here." Natsu said as he pulled another identical hat from his pocket dimension, but made it look like it was from the inside of his coat and then put it on his head. He then walked up to Emi while smiling and whispered into her ear while placing the hat on her head.
"Keep it safe for me Emi, until we meet again okay."
"Okay Natsu, I will keep it safe for you." she whispered not too quietly back to Natsu.
"Later Emi" Natsu said as he flicked the hat so that it covered her eyes and started to walk away again.
"Hey" giggled Emi while pushing it back up.
"Bye Natsu, bye big sis." shouted Emi as the two mages were leaving.
"Feel free to stop by the Lamia Scale guild if you ever want to visit your big sis Emi, as long as it is okay with your parents that is." said Chelia while smiling and waving back to the family.
"Can I mama, can I?" asked Emi excitedly.
"You can but only every once in a while, we don't want to be bothering her too much." replied Emi's mother.
"Woohoo" shouted Emi now doing a little jig.
"That was very nice of you Chelia." stated Natsu as Chelia caught up to him.
"Me, I did nothing, you did so much more, you saved her and played with her and got her to forget what just happened to her. You also gave her that hat of yours." said Chelia now looking at Natsu in the eyes through his sunglasses.
"Nah it was nothing, I just couldn't let any kid end up like I did." stated Natsu.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Chelia.
"I was abandoned by my birth parents for who knows why, and then was also left by Igneel and didn't know why until about a year and a half ago. So I know how hard it is to be a kid without their parents, so I never want another kid to have to go through that if I can help it." said Natsu not caring that he just reveal a very personal detail to Chelia, which caused Chelia to let out a gasp not knowing that about Natsu. She was going to try and comfort Natsu but then heard her name being shouted by some of her guild members.
When she turned to see who it was she saw that it was Lyon and her cousin Sherry. Both of them running to her with obvious urgency in their pace.
"Chelia where have you been all day, we were looking everywhere for you?" said Sherry.
"We had that guild meeting and you were the only one missing, we were all concerned about you." said Lyon.
"Its fine, I was just with a friend." replied Chelia now smiling knowing that they were in for a surprise.
"Who?" asked Sherry.
"Him" said Chelia while now pointing at Natsu.
"And who is he?" asked Lyon getting ready if he needed to fight this guy that he didn't know.
"You can't tell who it is, shows how good of friends you two are." said Chelia with her smile never leaving.
"Chelia I think I would remember him, if I ever knew him before." said Sherry while giving Natsu a sexy smirk.
"You both definitely know him; you guys have known him longer than I have." Chelia said while giggling.
"I am positive we haven't met him before, just tell us his name." said Lyon getting angry.
"Okay, okay, here we go… Its Natsu Dragneel!" said Chelia, which was followed by a long silence.
"WHAT!" shouted both Lyon and Sherry.
