Author's note: Thank you so much for giving me over TWENTY NINE HUNDRED REVIEWS! We are now so close to three thousand that I have made it my New Year Resolution that this time next year I will be thanking you all for six thousand reviews (I know…..I'm so greedy).

Natsu Dragion was struggling with the lack of magic.

And not just because, like everyone else, he had depended on it for everyday use (did you know how difficult it was to shower without a lacrima to heat the water? Levy's been experimenting on a heater but so far everyone has either been severely burnt or nearly frozen to death….), but because his car was no longer working.

His baby, the extension to his very being and soul, his perfect soulmate…..dead. Gone. Lifeless.

And now his own life was beginning to get rather pointless.

("Stop being such a cry-baby!" Lucy snapped irritably after five days of his moping. "I'll get Levy to invent an engine that doesn't require magic for you."

Natsu's hopeful expression had been instantly squashed by Levy's glower. "Oh and when will Levy have the time to do that when she's fixing the shower and the lights and everyone else's goddamn problems? Bitch, please, do me a favour and solve your boyfriend's problem on your own."

"He's not my boyfriend!" Lucy snapped. "And who are you calling a bitch, bitch?"

And thus started the eighty-ninth brawl in Fairy Tail that week….and it was only Tuesday.)

He now had to do errands by foot, instead of sailing through in his super-mega-cool-awesome car, and carry things by hand, instead of putting them in his awesome double spaced boot. It was a nightmare and a half because he just had to be the one to buy necessities like tea and food and wires for Levy's latest invention, which all became a heavy burden, and he had miles to walk before he could get home.

Natsu did okay-ish (though he had a terrible urge to throw the shopping away and hide in an abandoned car he saw nearby) until he heard a whisper.

And then another, and another, and another –

And then he couldn't help but notice that people were pointing at him and throwing him furious looks, and he couldn't understand why until he heard someone hiss "It's the Demon Lord Dragneel!"

Oh Christ!

He had heard about his other self's antics, who hadn't? After all, it was one of the most terrifying moments in Edolas history, and it was when their new king shone bravely and he saved them all….

But it sure hell made Natsu's life a living misery.

Natsu hurried a little more quickly wishing to God he had Gray or Lucy or someone to help him out. "He's getting away!" someone shouted. "GET HIM!"

Natsu screamed and threw the shopping down before he outright ran for it.

"Get the demon!"

"Kill him! Kill him!"

"Someone help!" Natsu wailed as tears ran down his cheeks. "Anyone!"

At this point he would even take Knightwalker's help if it meant he no longer had to endure these mobs. Natsu darted round a corner and rushed past what looked like a second mob chasing after that annoying reporter guy (he once did a huge story on whether or not Lucy and Natsu were lovers which resulted in Natsu having to spend five weeks in hospital, Lucy and Natsu then hunted the reporter guy and made him stay in the hospital for ten weeks. Well…okay, Lucy did. Natsu just guarded the door), Gajeel or something the other.

He couldn't tell you what happened next only that somehow he and Gajeel were now running together as both mobs chased after them.

"Damn my other self!" Gajeel panted. "He might be a cool dude with awesome fashion sense and a brilliant singing voice but he's an arsehole for leaving me to deal with this."

"Surely you're used to it?" Natsu gasped. It was getting harder and harder to breath now, damn he really missed his car, he wouldn't have this problem if he had his car, he really needed his car, why can't he have his car….? "After all you piss someone off every week with your articles, and what do you mean brilliant singing voice? We all heard you two, it was as if someone tried to strangle the whole Exceed population!"

"Shut up, wimpy!" Gajeel snapped. "Me and my other self were totally cool. Not like you and your weirdo, nutter, self that got us into this mess. 'Cause I bet my other self didn't think this up."

"I'm not a wimp!" Natsu wailed. "I'm just s- oh crap!"

Natsu barely stopped himself from running into the wall. Gajeel wasn't so fortunate, he crashed face first, and slumped to ground as he clutched his nose. "Shit!" he moaned in pain and frustration. "I'm going to be murdered in my new suit that's just got covered in blood and grime, I loved this suit. It was cool."

Natsu disagreed. There was nothing cool about blue and green tweed, but something told him Gajeel would never listen so he didn't voice that opinion. Well that, and because there was a mob about kill them.

"We're going to enjoy cutting your heads off, Demon," one man leered frighteningly, "King Jellal would surely reward us handsomely if we have them delivered to him in a basket."

Natsu whimpered.

The man raised his axe.

Natsu shut his eyes.

And then….

There was a sudden movement and Natsu could suddenly smell Lucy's musky perfume. There was a male scream and thumping sound, and Natsu's eyes shot open to see a curtain of golden hair covering his view of the mob. "Oi," Lucy barked angrily. "If you want him you have to get through me."

"And me!" Levy spoke up as she jammed a thumb in her direction. "I only just found this hot piece of beefcake, I'm not letting you take him away until I had my piece."

"Seriously?!" Lucy sounded disgusted. "That loser? You could so do better."

"What the hell do you know, bitch?" Levy snapped. "You're dating that puddle of cowardliness over there."

"What did you just call me?!" Lucy snarled as she stepped closer to levy. "And Natsu is not my boyfriend!"

"You heard me, bitch," Levy smirked as she stepped closer to Lucy. "And he so is."

"Is not," Lucy argued, "And who are you calling a bitch, bitch."

"I call it as I see it," Levy tossed her wild hair over her shoulder, "and you're the biggest, nastiest, stupidest bitch I have ever seen."

Natsu gulped as a dark, evil, purple aura seemed to swirl round his guild mates. "Erm….Lucy-Chan," he mumbled, "maybe we should-"

"Why you little tart!" Lucy shrieked. "I oughta murder you for that!"

"Ha!" Levy barked a little laugh. "I'd like to see you try."

And that was when the two of them broke into a terrifying fight that included whips, proto-type Tasers, knuckle dusters, and a terrifying ferocity that almost made Natsu wet himself out of fear.

"Ladies!" Gajeel shouted suddenly stepping between the two of them. "As much as I enjoy a good bit of entertainment as the next man," he smirked down at Levy who merely battered her eyelashes in return, "the mob has vanished now, and I have an article on the injustice of persecution to run. I hope we'll meet in better terms."

"Oh I don't know," Levy grinned, "I enjoyed rescuing the pretty princess."

"Gihihi," Gajeel sniggered, "I'd be an awesome princess. Want to come with? It shouldn't take too long."

"Sure," Levy shrugged and took Gajeel's arm, "anything is better than dealing with these two morons."

"What was that?!"

"Lucy-Chan," Natsu said quietly, "Just leave it. It doesn't matter. Besides, they're gone now."

Lucy growled furiously and suddenly whirled on him. Natsu squeaked and barely had a chance to move when she suddenly slammed him, face first, against the wall and twisted his arm behind his back.

"You stupid, fucking, idiot," she hissed in his ear. "What were you thinking?"

"Erm….that I really don't like doing errands on foot?"

Natsu groaned as he suddenly found himself on the ground after having had his limbs twisted in the worst manoeuvres in the world. Lucy was now straddling him, she had his arms pinned to the ground above his head, and shot him a venomous, nearly tearful, look. "Are you fucking telling me that you almost got yourself killed just so you can get out of doing errands?!" she snarled. "Are you fucking kidding me, Natsu?"

"No!" Natsu squeaked. "I didn't do it on purpose! It's my other self! He caused all this trouble pretending to be evil while looking like me! Now I can't go anywhere without people spitting on me or throwing things at him or outright trying to kill me and send my head to the King!"

Lucy growled again. "That stupid Dragon Slayer," she grumbled, "he couldn't be satisfied almost getting himself killed multiple times now he has to get my Natsu nearly killed multiple times. If I ever get my hands on him…." She then began to utter threats that both terrified and really turned on. Yes he knows. He has a problem but there was something about Lucy Ashley muttering how she'd whip him (well the Other Him) till he bled while she was straddling him and pinning him to the ground that was incredibly attractive…..maybe Gray was right, he did take in too many petrol fumes in as a kid. "Never mind," Lucy snapped out of her mood and smiled at him warmly. "You're safe now, thanks to me, and we can now go home with some food and tea. Where did you stash the shopping?"

"Erm…."

"Natsu," Lucy's good mood vanished quickly just as it appeared, "do not tell me that you lost our week's supply."

"Okay," Natsu said as he adjusted the goggles on his head. "I won't tell you."

He then ran for his life….only this time it was from something far more terrifying than a bloodthirsty mob.

(Meanwhile Wendy went shopping that day and as she examined some pretty bracelets she could hear some men whispering as they pointed to her. "Hey!" one hissed. "Isn't that the evil little girl that was with those demons?"

"Nah mate" the other guy said loudly enough, "that was just a kid. Flat-chested and nothing to look at, that woman over there is a babe. Just look at those tits."

Wendy smirked and flipped her hair as she walked past. Life was great.)
