A/N- Thanks for the feedback. I love it. To answer a question, yes Lucy is still part of the team! There is no way I could get rid of her. I'm such Nalu trash!

Chapter 3-
"This sucks!" Natsu yells in the middle of the train station, "Why do I have to be on the same team as you!" He yells at Gray.
"Do you think I want this too?!" Gray argues back. Lucy, Katawna, Plue and Happy all sit on a nearby bench watching the argument take place.
"Can we just pretend we don't know then?" Lucy cringes at the pair.
"That's easy for you to do," Tawna sighs, "At least you don't look like one of them," Tawna says.
"What made you come anyways?" Happy asks, sitting on Tawna's lap.
"Mira asked me to help keep an eye on them." Lucy says sounding like she regretted the decision.
"You are doing a great job Luce," Tawna laughs sarcastically.
"Well, their helpless," She shrugs.
"Sorry I'm late!" Erza says approaching with her large stack of luggage.
"Holy crap, does she really need all those?" Lucy asks shocked.
"Come on buddy!" Gray says as him and Natsu turn to their 'friends' act.
"That's gonna get annoying real quick," Tawna shakes her head at her brother and brother figure.
"It's great to see those two get along," Erza smiles and turns to the blonde mage and her white shaking dog, "I don't think we have met, are you new?"
"Yeah, I'm Lucy, Mira asked me to come along if that's okay," Lucy answers smiling.
"More the merrier," Erza answers glancing back to Natsu and Gray making sure they are behaving. She then glances down to Katawna and smiles. "You ready?"
"Yep," The young mage smiles, "Thanks for bringing me."
"You're a great wizard and a powerful one at that," Erza smiles, "You will be great help if we get into a fight."
"At least you have a little faith in me," Tawna mumbles glancing to Natsu.
"Erza!" Natsu says stepping away from Gray, "I will only come if you agree to a rematch."
"What's wrong with you!" Gray shouts.
"Are you really that stupid Natsu," Tawna rolls her large dark eyes.
"I accept your challenge," Erza smirks, "we'll just see how much stronger you have gotten," She says challenging, "Let's get going."
The moment the train starts moving Natsu is sick and Tawna is slightly green.
"Awww, Tawna you get motion sickness too" Lucy asks leaning forward to the small pink headed mage in front of her.
"Yeah," she mumbles, pulling her knees to her chest.
"She can handle it better than this idiot," Gray says nudging a pathetic looking Natsu.
'Let me off this thing," Natsu moans.
"Suck it up you big baby," Tawna glares.
'Come here Natsu," Erza says, patting the seat next to her.
"I guess she wants me to move," Lucy says sitting next to Katawna. Erza smiles and takes her fist and knocks him out onto her lap.
"There that should make the trip easier for everybody." Erza smiles petting his pink head, making Gray and even Tawna giggle.
"I should have thought of that," Tawna smiles slightly, "But my punch can't knock him out though."
"Hit him in the right place I'm sure you would be able to knock him out." Gray says placing a hand on her head.
"Don't worry Tawna, as you get older and bigger you will get stronger," Erza smiles to the pre-teen, "You already give most of the guild a run for their money." She says making the sick girl smile. Lucy rubs Tawna's back and turns to look at Gray.
"I haven't asked, but you're an ice mage right?" Lucy asks. Gray places his fist in the palm of his hand and a small ice blue magic circle appears and in his hand appears a copy of the Fairy Tail mark made of ice. "Wow," Lucy awes.
"It's ice make," He smiles, "I can form ice into shapes and objects," He turns to the poor motion sick ridden dragon slayer and holds it in front of her, "Here Kid, it will make you feel better."
"Thank you," Tawna mumbles slowly nibbling on the ice.
"Is that why you two work together?" Lucy asks, "Your magic is complimentary."
"Yeah," Gray smiles to his little partner, "She's good to have in a fight. I have taken her on mission since she became a member. Mainly because this idiot," He points to Natsu, "didn't take her on very many, but I'm happy I did, she's a good partner."
"Natsu and Katawna also work very well together when they try," Erza smiles, "But they do end up arguing with each other usually."
"Blame him, he starts it," Tawna says raising her head slightly. Gray pats her head then turns his attention back to Erza.
"Erza, I think it's time for you let us know what's going on." He says leaning back against the seat.
"I believe a dark guild Eisenwald is planning something big." Erza states seriously, "Something to do with a magical item called lullaby."
"Lullaby?" Tawna asks glancing up to Lucy and Gray.
"Isn't that the thing from before?" Lucy asks looking at Gray.
"You guy have run into Eisenwald before?" Erza asks surprised.
"I'm not sure but these guys who took happy, they mentioned lullaby," Gray answers.
"Sounds like they were members who dropped out and went into hiding," Erza begins, "They must of not wanted to be a part of what was coming."
"So this thing scares dark wizards?" Gray asks.
"I'm only speculating, but whoever dragged off Happy's kidnappers must have been from Eisenwald. They didn't want their plans getting out."
"What do you think they are planning to do?" Lucy asks. Erza explains how she stopped by a pub and heard wizards speaking about lullaby. "A lullaby is something used to sing kids to sleep, could that have something to do with it?"
"It must be powerful if it was sealed away," Tawna adds.
"Are you sure the guys in the pub were from Eisenwald?" Gray asks.
"Yes," Erza answers, "I should have did something sooner," She bangs a fist on Natsu's head, "I should have recognized Erigor's name sooner"
"The Reaper?" Tawna asks surprising the scarlet wizard.
"Yeah, how did you know about him?"
"I heard about him a couple of times, he only took assignation request." Tawna says.
"He kills for money? Lucy asks shaking as much as Plue is in her lap.
"Eisenwald was kicked out of the wizarding league 6 years ago and became a dark guild," Erza says, "I shouldn't have been so careless," She bangs her fist against Natsu again.
"Okay, may I shouldn't have come," Lucy stutters.
"Lucy's all slimy," Happy say sitting between her and Tawna.
"It's called sweat cat!" Tawna flicks her wrist and the sweat from Lucy has evaporated, "How did you do that?"
"Sweat has water in it," Tawna says quietly.
"That's another reason why Tawna is one of the strongest wizards," Erza starts, "The human body has water everywhere."
"She can control water within someone?" Lucy asks glancing down to the small mage.
"I can sense water is everybody," she mumbles, "I never want to get in a situation where I have to be that invasive." She stutters a bit. The thought of controlling the water inside a living thing seems to scare her. "By the way Luce you're a bit dehydrated."
"What?!" Lucy shouts shocked making Gray laugh.
"She does that to everyone?" Gray smiles then turns back to Erza, "So you think because of what you heard in the bar, this lullaby thing is dangerous?"
"Yes, that's why I ask you all to come along. We're storming the Eisenwald Guild." Erza states.
"Sounds fun," Gray grins.
"I really shouldn't have come," Lucy sweats.
"Lucy is all slimy again," Happy says.
"Shut it cat!"
Lucy leaves and comes back with food and a glass of water for Tawna.
"So if you don't mind me asking," Lucy asks Erza sitting back with the group, "What kind of magic do you use?"
"Her magic is pretty," Tawna says slowly sipping her water still looking a bit green.
"Yeah, she makes her enemies bleed, a lot," Happy smiles.
"I wouldn't call that pretty," Lucy sighs at the blue cats remarks.
"I personally think Gray's and Katawna's magic is prettier," Erza smiles.
'Mine isn't pretty." Tawna says.
"When you control water you practically dance with it. It's so graceful." Erza smiles to the small dragon slayer.
The train comes to a halt and Tawna is the first one off.
"Solid ground," The 12 year old sighs falling to the ground. Lucy Erza, Gray and Happy follow out to the platform.
"Do you think the Eisenwald guys are still in this town?" Gray asks looking around his surroundings.
"I'm hoping." Erza states.
"Umm, where's Natsu?" Happy asks as Tawna rises from the ground.
"Oh no we left him!" Tawna gasps.
"I was so busy talking I forgot about him. I'm such a fool," Erza dramatizes, "This is all my fault. I need one of you to hit me."
"Erza that is not going to solve anything," Tawna rolls her eyes, "We need to stop or catch up to the train."
"We can do both!" the armor covered wizard marches over and pulls the emergency break.
"I'm starting to think all the wizards in Fairy Tail are a little crazy." Lucy sighs.
"I wouldn't says all of us," Gray says crossing his arms in front of his bare chest.
"Gray clothes," Tawna sighs.
"Ahhh!" Gray shouts pulling his shirt back on.
"Come on! I got us a magic mobile, we should be able to catch up!" Erza shouts cause Tawna to sigh.
"Great more transportation." Tawna, Lucy, and Happy pile into the mobile and Gray hopes on top. Erza hits it and they speed off for the train. The force knocks Tawna to the floor of the cab.
"Owww," Tawna sighs looking pale, "That doesn't help motion sickness." She curls up on the floor of the mobile.
"Poor thing," Lucy says feeling bad for the girl. She looks out to the rails as they approach the train, "Oh no It's moving again!"
Natsu sees the mobile and jumps from the window, hurling himself at Gray sending both of them tumbling to the ground. Erza quickly stops the vehicle and they all go to Natsu and Gray.
"Are you two okay?" Lucy asks running to the two guys.
"That hurt you Idiot!" gray shouts as he stands.
"Shut up Ice Princess!" Natsu yells back, "Why did you guys leave me on the train!"
"I'm happy you are not badly injured. I'm sorry Natsu," Erza says banging his head against her armor in a type of hug.
"Ow," Natsu gasps, "I'm okay, I got attacked by a weirdo though."
"Are you sure you weren't looking in mirror," Tawna smirks.
"Shut it Water Breather!" Natsu glares at his little sister.
"Smoke Breath!" Tawna shouts as Natsu bends down to look her in the eye.
"Ice Cruncher!"
"Lava Brain!"
"Water…"
"ENOUGH!" Erza shouts knocking the two Dragneels' heads together. "Who attacked you Natsu?"
"I think it was the dude who dragged away Happy's attackers," Natsu says as him and Tawna rub their heads. "He said he was from Eisenwald."
"You fool!" Erza slaps him sending him flying to the ground, "That's who we're chasing after!"
"I didn't know that!" Natsu shouts.
"I explained everything on the train!" Erza scolds, "You need to listen when people talk!"
"She doesn't remember she knocked him out, "Tawna sighs still rubbing her head.
"She has no clue," Lucy shakes her head.
"Come on! We need to find him! "Erza shouts strapping herself to the mobile.
"What was this guy like?" Gray asks walking to the vehicle.
"He didn't seem like the dark guild type," Natsu says, "But he had this weird three eyed flute skull thing."
"A skull with three eyes? I think I have heard of it before." Lucy thinks for a moment, "Lullaby the death song! It's death magic!"
"That thing can kill people?" Tawna asks stepping back a bit in fear. Natsu gently placed a comforting hand on her head and turns back to Lucy.
"There are some spells that are forbidden by any wizard. I have only read about them in books."
"There are black magic spells?" Erza asks.
"If I'm right Lullaby is the worst. Whoever hears it song will fall into an eternal sleep," Lucy says darkly.
"There's no time to loose! We need to get going!" Erza shouts as everyone piles in and on the vehicle.
