Lucy hides behind Laxus as everyone is asking her questions at once. Grumpy would push them away when they got too close but he was having a hard time getting them under control.

Natsu sneaks around and strolls up to Lucy. She glances over at him and relaxes. The fact that she relaxes at the sight of him makes Natsu smile. "Hi. I'm Natsu Dragneel. Son of Igneel, the Fire Dragon King."

"Hi Natsu. I'm Lucy Apocalypse. Daughter of Acnologia, the Chaos Dragon King." Lucy replies. That catches everyone's attention making everyone quiet. Lucy started feeling anxious and moved closer to Natsu. Natsu is bursting with pride. She's choosing me to protect her! She trusts me! She feels safe with me!

"Shut up! We'll explain everything back at the guild now back off!" Laxus cries. He looks behind him and sees Natsu petting Lucy's head in a comforting way and her smiling at him in gratitude. Grumpy glares. "Quit looking lovey-dovey with my sis!"

Lucy is clinging to Natsu as he carries her on his back through the human town. She's never been to a human town before and it's making her shy and nervous being stared at by strange eyes. The town of Magnolia are used to seeing Natsu but he's the only halfbreed they've ever seen so they're very interested in this new face.

Natsu noticed her discomfort and spread his wings, hiding her from view. "They won't hurt you. They're used to seeing me. It'll calm down real quick. No worries." Natsu explains. She smiles as she lays her head into his neck. Grumpy and Happy fly over them, Happy talking about fish and Grumpy making sure Natsu doesn't try anything with Lucy. Laxus keeps a close eye on them too. He knows Natsu is an idiot and has shown no interest in romance but this is the first time he's showing strong protectiveness towards someone that wasn't Happy. That ash-head better not be interested in my cousin. Laxus thinks.

"You're going to love Fairy Tail Lu-chan!" Levy bounces next to her in excitement. It's always exciting when a new member joins. Lucy simply nods. She's not used to being around people, it's always been just her and Grumpy.

She looks over at Laxus. She remembers him telling her stories about the guild. Full of adventure and people treating each other like family. Sounds like a place her Papa would want her to be in while she searches for him. Much better than being alone on an island.

Lucy giggle at a certain memory. "Looks like you're keeping your promise Laxy."

"What promise?" Natsu asks. Laxus smiles. He knows what she's talking about. "I promised to bring her to Fairy Tail and give her our mark myself."

"Never thought you had a soft side Sparky." Gajeel, the Iron Dragon Slayer with a long mane of black hair and a face full of piercings. The comment got him a bolt of lightning at his butt from Laxus. And the lightning got him a smack in the head by a tail from Lucy. His grumpy face made her giggle.

"Haha! Nice one Luce!" Natsu laughs.

"Luce?"

"My nickname for you. Like it?" Natsu glances over his shoulder. He's filled with joy at her smiling blushing face. His tail was wagging with such glee that people had to back up to avoid being hit.

"Watch it you idiot!" Grey shouts.

"What you call me?!" Natsu snaps back.

"Stop fighting in front of a guest!" Erza yells. The boys pout and turn away from each other. Lucy giggles making Natsu blush. Lissanna sees this and glares. She's never been able to make Natsu blush and she flashed him her boobs at the beach before! What does this new girl have that she doesn't? Is it because they're both halfbreeds? Lissanna can look half dragon too! And she can be ten times more beautiful than this stupid Lucy!
