Lucy's POV
"I hate the train, we are never using one again." I moaned out loud, why did I forget my motion sickness pills.
"Lucy you always say that when you don't take the pill." Stella corrected me.
"Hey no I don't Stella, I say it differently every time anyway where are we going?" I added.
"We are going to find a magic store for celestial keys." Stella answered me.
"Oh yeah, wait Stella how many jewels do we have left?" I asked.
"We have at least 60,000 jewels left." Stella added.
"Okay we really need to find a guild, let's join Fairy Tail it's the No. 1 guild in Fiore." I replied.
"Whatever you say, do you even know how to get into a guild." Stella questioned me.
"No, but it is probably easy let's go find some new keys and friends." I giggled.
Later at the magic shop
"Hi sir, do you have any gate keys?" I asked in a sickly sweet voice.
"Why yes I do, but it's not very powerful." The man replied.
"Aw it is the little dog canis minor. How much?" I asked.
"20,000 jewel." The old shop keeper said.
'Wait, what Lucy you can lower the price with your looks.' I thought to myself. Stella disapproved of this action.
"Are you sure it's 20,000 come on what's in it for me?" I asked, trying to look sexy.
"15,000 jewel. That's the lowest okay?" He said, still a bit happy about what just happened.
"Thanks have a good day sir." I flashed a fake smile. 'Creepy old man.'
"Stella, what are we doing now?" I asked.
"I don't know Lucy. Got any ideas." Stella replied.
"I have an idea, let's go to the chemist and see if they sell motion sickness pills." I added with a happy smile.
Natsu P.O.V
"Ugh, I hate trains they are evil!" I moaned.
"You say that every time we are on a train." Happy added.
"Ugh Happy, anyway let's go find Igneel." I said happily.
"Aye sir Natsu look out, never mind." Happy yelled.
Then we heard screaming.
"What the fuck, they are making my ears bleed and Happy stop laughing. Wait, are they talking about Igneel, let's follow them." I yelled to my blue cat.
Lucy's P.O.V
"Why are all those girls fawning over that man, Stella snap out of it you're under a charm spell." I said annoyed at what he was doing.
"What, thanks Lucy he is such a creep." Stella thanked me, looking ashamed.
"It's okay Stella, he is a pathetic man for using a charm spell." I comforted her.
"Igneel, Igneel it's me Natsu. Wait who are-" A random boy yelled.
"What's the matter, Lucy?" Stella asked me.
"Nothing, just that boy knows someone who is a dragon." I told her, a bit on edge.
Natsu's P.O.V
"Who are you?"
"Why I am the great Salamander." He smirked.
"Ugh nice meeting you not, when I get back to the guild I am going to kill Krov." I mumbled the last part to myself.
"What are you doing? Salamander is talking to you." I heard some girls yell and they started beating me up.
"Girls calm down he did not mean any harm, here's my autograph." He grinned.
"Ugh, what the hell is this." I said, irritated.
"Don't you dare insult the great Salamander again." The girls yelled and started beating me up.
"Calm down girls, I am having a party on my yacht tonight and you're all invited." The Salamander said and the girls finally stopped trying to kill me.
"Hi, are you okay?" A pretty girl said, gesturing for me to take her hand so she could help me off the ground.
"Lucy stop worrying, if he knows Igneel then he probably is a dragon slayer." The golden cat said.
"Happy, why are those girls talking about me in front of me hello." I said, confused.
"Oh sorry, do you want to talk over lunch." She asked them and Happy nodded our heads like a madman.
At lunch
Lucy's P.O.V
"Thanks we are starving." Natsu said.
"You're welcome, by the way my name is Lucy and this is Stella, she is my best friend and the only family I have left. By the way, what are your names?" I asked.
"I'm Natsu Dragneel and my little buddy here is Happy." He answered me.
"So I know this is a weird question, but how do you know Igneel." I stated curiously.
"Wait, you know Igneel do you know where he is!" Natsu yelled.
"Okay Natsu, hold it right there. All I know is his name and he is on the divine dragon council with my mom Celeste and dad and you haven't answered my question, how do you know him?" I asked again.
"I know him because he taught me dragon slayer magic and is my step-dad, how do you know about dragons?" He asked again.
"I am a celestial dragon slayer, my mom is Celeste queen of the dragon realm and dragons. All I can say is he is alive and well, this is all I know from a riddle but I don't know what the language is." I told him sadly.
"That's fine." He answered me.
"Wait did you think Igneel was in the middle of town, you are a idiot." She said. "Oh well, it was nice meeting you Natsu Dragneel." I said as I put the money on the table and began to leave.
"Lucy look behind you, why are they bowing to you?" Stella stated, concerned.
"I don't know, Stella. Boys, get up you're embarrassing me and yourselves." I told them quickly.
"Oh sorry Lugie." Natsu said back.
"That is not my name, come on Stella let's go." I said and me and Stella were off.
Later at the park
"Mirajane is so pretty, I wish we could join Fairy Tail." I said to Stella.
"You would definitely fit right in, look they have destroyed half a town again." Stella added slightly telling me off at the same time.
"Shh who's there, Cancer Star Dress, oh it's you." I chanted, then turned around and saw the fake from before. I try hiding the disgust in my voice.
"Hi beautiful I saw you earlier and I wanted to talk to you, I couldn't help but overhear that you and your furry friend wanted to join Fairy Tail. Have you heard of the great Salamander of Fairy Tail."
"Wait you're that Salamander, do you really think I can join Fairy Tail?" I asked sarcastically.
"I will put in a good word for you with our master, you just have to come to my yacht party tonight." He added.
"Yeah sure I'll be there." I just need to be nice to this creep for one night to find out what he's really up to.
"Stella, we are going to join Fairy Tail." I said, almost screaming.
"Lucy doesn't that man look familiar to you?" Stella asked, weary of the man.
"Now that you mention it, he does but I can't remember where I've seen him." I told her.
"Me neither, Luce." Stella replied.
"Oh well, let's get my motion sickness pills." I said, quickly changing the subject.
Later at the party
Thank goodness I took those sickness pills. I would be so weak right now I wouldn't be able to stand up.
("Stella stop, don't eat any food that I haven't checked. It might be drugged." I told her through our telepathic link.
"Good call Lu." She replied.
"Yeah be careful Stella." I told her) then Salamander walked over.
"Why I do hope you're enjoying the party, come let's talk about you joining Fairy Tail in private. This way." He instructed.
"Oh sure, Salamander sir." I said.
(Come on Stella, is my telepathy reaching you fine?" I asked.
"Yeah Luce." Stella thought.)
"So Salamander when am I joining Fairy Tail."
"In the morning, now let's toast to you joining Fairy Tail." He said in a devious way.
"Why are you trying to drug me, I know what a sleeping drug smells like." I hissed.
(Hey Stella, I just heard men come into the room. Be on guard." I told her through the link.
"Yes, I will now Lucy be careful." She replied.
"I will Stella, don't worry." I told her.) then I heard his men say Bora got a good one. Now I remember, Bora's wanted for human trafficking.
"Get her now!" He yelled.
"Now Stella, sorry too slow boys." I mocked them as I'm flying away then Natsu and Happy landed on top of me.
"What the heck!" I yelled, irritated.
"Sorry." Natsu stuttered.
"Happy get Natsu out of here. I am now very annoyed." I said in the most dangerously low tone possible.
"Come on Happy let's go, Luce might, no she will blow this ship up when she calls her out." Stella warned Happy as he shivered.
"Okay then let's go, I've got Natsu." Happy said nervously.
"Open Gate of the Water Bearer Aquarius!" I yelled, knowing what is about to happen.
"Tch, I was on a date with my boyfriend." She moaned.
"Shut up and shoot that ship down sea hag." I ordered.
"Tch land brat." She replied, then she shot the ship and me with it.
"Happy, where's Natsu?" I asked Happy.
"Over there, I bet he's going to fight the impostor." Happy answered.
"Probably and I am joining him since I have a score to settle with that impostor." I said, shooting a evil glare at the ship as I approached Natsu.
"Hey, need a hand." I said.
"Oh sure." Was his reply.
"Celestial Dragon Wing Attack!" I shouted and instantly knocked the impostor out.
Stella's P.O.V
"Wait Stella, Lucy is a Dragon Slayer!" Happy yelled, surprised.
"Yep." I said with a smug smile.
"Her dragons and her dragon's mate trained, but she can only use the magic her mom taught her unless in an extreme emergency that is a life or death battle." I told Happy with a more serious expression.
He stared at me in a state of pure shock.
Lucy's P.O.V
"Come on Lucy, Stella didn't you guys say you wanted to join Fairy Tail. Let's go." Natsu yelled as he grabbed me and the cats and ran off so we weren't caught by the Rune Knights.
"Sure, let's go then." I replied. What I didn't know was that my life was about to get very hectic.
