Lucy's POV
I've been in the guild for 3 days. I haven't seen Natsu since he brought me here but the thing that gets me is that everyone's afraid of him. Even mentioning his name frightens them.
I know what he can do, I heard what people say about him but he was raised by a "dragon" for crying out loud, Acnologia for that matter. How do expect someone raised by Acnologia to be kind, sweet and loving!?
Well, I'm not saying he can't. He's still human, kinda, which means he has feelings. I plan to show the world those feelings. Show them that he's not as mean as he lets on. Which brings me to my first plan. Getting close.
This boy named Romeo, from what I've heard his father went to Mt.Hakobe and have not returned in a while. I'm gonna go look for his dad for two things. The first is because everyone should have a kind and loving dad who cares about them and hearing that his dad or fellow guild member might die is unacceptable. Second reason is because I could get Natsu to come with me. So win-win.
"Hey Romeo." I said you the sobbing little boy,
"*Sniff* *sniff* Hi Lucy-nii." He said looking down,
"Have your father still haven't come back?" I asked,
"N-no." He said trying to stop the tears from falling,
"Will it make you feel better if I go look for him?" I asked,
"Really?" He asked hopefully,
"Yep! I'll go find your dad!" I said to the young boy,
"Thank you so much, Lucy-nii!" He said hugging me and I hugged back, "How can I repay you?" He asked looking up at me,
"You don't need to repay me, Romeo. I'm just happy I can help." I said with a bright smile,
"Thank you." He said hugging me again.
Now I have to find Happy he probably knows where Natsu is. I walk in the guild and wave and smile to the people who say hi to me. I finally find Happy sitting down on a table eating fish.
"Happy I need to ask you something about you know who." I said to the fish eating cat,
"Ok, Lushy. What do you need?" He asked,
"I want him to follow me to find Macao." I said with a smile,
"I don't think he'll wanna do that Lushy." Happy said with a sweat drop,
"I'm very stubborn so I can get to him do it." I said with a devious smile, to which Happy sweat drop,
I then feel a powerful surge of magic energy behind me. I turn around and see Natsu standing right behind me with a glare. All the guild members looked frightened. And I'm just here like "bruh".
"What the fuck Na-kun are you trying to give me a heart attack!?" I scream at him and I hear gasps from the guild,
"I told you to stop calling me that woman." He said with a glare,
"Stop calling me woman." I said folding my arms and pout,
"No" He said with a growl,
"Ugh, let's just go." I said taking Happy up,
"Where? And why should I go with you?" He asked,
"Because!" I shout excitedly, I then put Happy on my head and grab his hand dragging him out the guild,
"Bye everyone!" I shout to the guild then leave,
•~•~•~•
"Now we just have to find transportation." I said putting a finger under my chin,
"No." I hear Natsu growl behind me,
"Why?" I asked with a bit of a whine,
"I'm not using transportation." He said with a hard glare,
"Then how are we gonna get to Mt.Hakobe?" I asked him with a glare of my own,
"I'm not going with you and why the fuck do you want your go up there?" He asked sitting on my couch. We were at my apartment so I could change into warm clothes for the trip.
"Ok, first, you are going with me. And second because Romeo wants to see his dad." I said simply,
"Why couldn't you go on your own? And I have a feeling that's not the only reason you want to go up there." He said,
I turn around and watch him and he watches me back.
"If you take off that hood I'll consider answering those questions." I said while packing a first aid kit,
I heard a growl, then a sigh. I turn around and see his hood down so I could see his face.
"Ok, so I didn't go on my own because I hate being alone most of the time. And your right that's not the only reason I wanted you go up there. I also wanted to go so I could be friends with you." I said simply,
I heard a grunt, then shuffling. I turn around to see him looking around my apartment. I just sigh and go in kitchen so if we get hungry up there. I then see Happy eating a salmon I was planning to eat when we get back.
"Happy what the actual fuck!?" I screamed at the feline who watched me wide eyed knowing that he had been caught,
He then spreads his wings and flew into the living room with me running after him.
I then bump into couch and fall over.
"Itai!" I said getting up and rubbing my rear,
I sigh then go back into the kitchen.
•~•~•~•
Sadly we ended up walking but on the bright side we made to the mountain. I'm so happy that I'm wearing warm clothes but the winds are still hard.
"Ugh," I groan, "I'm tired of walking."
I take out a silver key. "Open the Gate of the Clock Key! Horologium!" I shout and Horologium pops up.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you, Horologium but do you think you can carry me the rest of way?" I asked looking at the grandfather clock,
"Of course Ms.Lucy." He said, I then get in and he follows Natsu.
""Where could he be?" She asked" Horologium said,
"I can't smell him at all. To much snow." Natsu said.
We continue walking, when out of nowhere a Vulcan came.
"Ok monkey! Where's Makao!?" Happy shouted,
The monkey ignored Happy and came running towards me.
"Open the Gate of the Golden Bull! Taurus!" I shouted,
"Moooo!" Taurus shouted, "My, my Lucy. Looking good as always." He complimented, and I sweat drop,
""Just get the Vulcan!" She said" Horologium said,
••After big awesome fight scene with Natsu and Taurus vs the Vulcan••
After the fight the Vulcan turned into Makao. Take over Magic. It had taken over Makao body.
I sent Taurus and Horologium back to the celestial spirit world and took Makao to a cave we found.
"Makao are you ok?" I asked after wrapping his wounds,
"Y-yes." He said, "Chaos!?" He seemed afraid,
"It's ok Makao. He won't hurt you. He helped me come look for you." I said smiling at him,
"He helped?" He asked,
"Yep!" I said,
He sighed then chuckled, "I don't think I'll be able to face Romeo." He said sadly, "It's pathetic how I managed to take out nineteen Vulcans, but was Taken Over by the last one."
"Dont worry, Makao, I assure you that nineteen is a number you can brag about." I said seeing as it is true and he shouldn't be so down,
Natsu, Happy and I, with Makao, walk back to town.
"Romeo!" I shouted, when I saw him sitting on a step alone,
His eyes grew wide when he saw us. He ran towards his father tackling him in a hug.
"I'm sorry for making you go on a job dad." Romeo apologized to his father,
"Don't worry about it son. Tell those bullies that you bet their old man couldn't defeat 19 Vulcans." He said happily,
Romeo smiled at his dad then hugged me.
"Thank you so much, Lucy-nii!" He said happily,
"No problem Romeo. Those two helped me too." I said pointing towards Happy and Natsu.
He looked at them and walked cautiously over to them with me at his side. He stopped in front of Natsu and he crouched down to meet his height.
"Th-thank you for following, Lucy-nii and saving my dad." Romeo said,
A small smile graced Natsu's lips and he ruffled Romeo's hair. Romeo smiled happily at the gesture.
"If those bullies ever come back and talk shit again, you can come to me kid." He said to Romeo with a smirk,
Both Makao and Romeo's eyes widened by what he said. Romeo smiled happily at him. While Makao's gaze softened.
"Thank you!" He smiled happily,
We then waved at them then walked off.
"And you said that you didn't wanna come." I joked nugging him,
"Whatever." He said and walked up,
Happy and I just laughed.

Author's POV
They reached the guild and just when Natsu was gonna walk off Lucy grabbed his arm and he groaned while she giggled.
"We're back!" She shouted happily slamming the guild doors open.
She drag Natsu to the bar with her and sit him down.
"Mira, can I have a strawberry milkshake, a fish for Happy and something for Na-kun?" She asked politely,
Mira nodded and went to make it.
When she gave them what they wanted Natsu almost immediately went upstairs while Happy stayed next to Lucy eating his fish.
When Natsu was gone everyone immediately crowded around her.
"Are you ok? Are you hurt? Any injuries?" They asked,
"I'm ok. I'm not hurt. No injuries. Why'd you ask?" She asked tilting her head a bit,
"Chaos didn't hurt her?" Someone asked,
"Maybe he blackmailed her into not telling us." Someone whispered,
She then turned around ignoring the people around her.
"Mira, can I have another strawberry milkshake?" She asked nicely,
"Of course, Lucy." Mira smiled.
