Omega: How's Erza doing, Natsu?

Natsu: She's doing alright despite the fact that she lost her memory. I should have stopped that Vulcan from ever putting a finger on her. How can I be such an idiot? (Sulks)

Omega: Don't beat yourself, Natsu. You were more focused on the fight to even notice the Vulcan.

Natsu: But still! I should have sensed the Vulcan! Now, I don't know if Erza is going to be able to get better.

Omega: Don't worry, she's gonna be OK 'cause she's got you, man.

Natsu: Thanks, man (gives a weak smile).

Omega: No problem! Why don't we get started with this new chapter, huh?

Natsu: Yeah.

Omega: Good. Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. Hiro Mashima is the author and owner of it. Alright, let's start the story!

Natsu :( determined) Yeah!

Chapter 2: Seeing New Things & Meeting New People


The sun was shining upon Natsu's eyes, making him wake up. He opened his eyes, much to his discomfort. 'One day, I'm gonna eat the Sun!' He clenched his fist with a determined face, but then he just sighed 'But until then, I'll eat regular food. I better go make breakfast for me... and for her.' The person he was referring to was none other than the Titania of Fairy Tail, Erza Scarlet herself. She was sleeping soundly and peacefully on his chest. Natsu smiled softly at the sight of it. 'She looks so cute... Wait what?!' He quickly shook his head 'Where did that come from?! What was I was thinking about? BREAKFAST! I was gonna make breakfast, that's right.' So he hopped out of bed, making sure not to wake up Erza, and headed to the kitchen to make breakfast for two.

'Mmmhh...' Erza tossed and turned in order to get more comfortable, but something was missing. She stretched out her arms, but felt nothing. She opened her eyes and woke up immediately with a jolt. She looked around and found that Natsu was no longer there. She got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom to see if he was taking a bath without her, but saw that he was not in the bath or the room at all. She walked back to the bed and sat down on it. Getting scared, she closed her eyes let out a powerful screech:

"NAAATSSSUUU! NAAATTSSUUU!"

Upon hearing his name being called in such a manner, the young pinkette bolted upstairs towards the bedroom. He flung open the door and looked at the now-awake Erza.

"Erza! Are you OK?! What happened?"

"Where did you go?" She looked at him, eyes beginning to water "You left me…" Tears began to fall down her face as she spoke. "WAHHHHH!" Erza instantly sobbing, scaring Natsu.

Natsu instantly hugged "Hey. Shh… Shh… It's ok. I was only making breakfast for us, that's all" Natsu patted her head, calming her down. "Feel better?" Natsu smiled at the redhead.

"*Sniff* Mmhmm." Erza stopped crying and wiped her tears away, just as Natsu hoped she would.

"Good. Now, let's eat breakfast! I know you're hungry."

"Nuh-uh, I'm not hungry yet." However, her stomach growled after speaking.

Natsu chuckled a bit "We'll see. C'mon." Natsu turned around and began walking downstairs with Erza following him. They both soon walked into the kitchen to enjoy their plates of waffles, fried eggs, and bacon. Natsu chuckled again as he watched Erza hungrily chow down her plate, leaving it clean of food "My, my, you sure cleaned off that plate for someone who isn't hungry." Natsu smirked as he saw Erza look away and pout.

"Mm…Ok I was hungry." Natsu smiled and patted her on the head after picking both of their plates, placing them into the dishwasher along with last night's dishes. He then walked back into his room, with Erza right behind him, and brushed their teeth then Natsu quickly changed into their clothes.

"Huh? Erza, what's wrong?" As Natsu wrapped his scarf around his neck, he turned to look to at Erza who was still in her PJs "Why aren't you getting dressed?"

Erza pouted as she folded her arms and looked away from him "I don't wanna."

"And why don't you want?" He looked at her confused.

"I don't like them! They look stupid! I don't wanna wear them!" Erza stomped her foot down after yelling.

He walked over to her closet and looked inside it "Hmm… How about this then?" He pulled out a red and orange shirt with brown jeans, showing the outfit to the redhead.

She turned to look at him and her pouting face changed to a curious one as she examined the choice of clothes. A smile soon graced her lips. "Ok. I like them"

"Then get changed silly. I'll be waiting in the living room." Natsu gave her the clothes and walked out of his room. He sat down on the couch, closing his eyes and thinking as he waited for Erza. 'Hmm…I wonder if taking Erza to the guild is a good thing, given how she is at the moment. Seeing her friends isn't going to be the problem, it's seeing the guild fights and magic I'm worried about. Wait a minute, does Erza remember how to use Magical energy?' As he continued to ponder, Erza ran out from Natsu's room and into the living room.

"Ok Natsu! I'm ready!" Natsu opened his eyes and got up from his seat, walking to the door with Erza right behind him.

"Let's go to the guild." And the they did, enjoying the nice weather and Natsu answering Erza's questions on new things that they saw as they walked into town. Markets, cars, vendors, many of which often confused and sparked Erza's curiosity. The two soon walked through the park with the giant tree (A/N: Forget what it was actually called.) before being stopped by a small creature.

"Bark! Bark! Bark!" A small dog, looking much like a golden retriever pup, ran up to the duo and stopped at Natsu's feet.

"AAH!" Erza instantly hid behind Natsu after seeing the puppy, surprising the young dragon slayer.

"Hey, Hey, it's ok." Natsu patted her arm, easing her from the fear "It's not going to hurt us. Watch, I'll show you." Natsu let go of Erza and knelt down, petting the puppy. "Who's a good boy? Nice puppy." The puppy barked happily and wagged its tail in excitement. Erza grew curious of this. She knelt down and slowly extend her hand to the puppy which sniffed and licked her hand, making her smile.

"*Whistles* Come here, Sparky!" A small boy walked around yelling out, seeming to look for something. As he did, the puppy ran toward the boy and hopped up at him. "Ah there you are, Sparky! C'mon, let's go home." Erza grew slightly saddened at this and tried going after the puppy, however, Natsu placing her hand on her shoulder stopped her.

"No Erza, that dog belongs to that little boy. You can't have it." Erza pouted sadly after hearing this. 'Oh no, Erza. Please don't be sad.' Natsu then thought of something. "Tell you what: One of these days, we can get a dog."

Erza lighten up after hearing this. "Really?!"

"Yup!" Natsu, with his usual smile, stated to the redhead who hugged him tightly.

"Yay! Thank you Natsu!"

"No prob, Erza." And then the two soon walked up to the guild. Before he opened the guild doors, Natsu glanced over to Erza who was looked back at him before smiling. 'Ok, here we go.' He then opened the guild doors to see the normal, well normal for the Fairy Tail guild that is.

People were brawling, Cana was drinking barrels of alcohol, Elfman was yelling about real men fight with their fists, Gray was fighting in his underwear and Juvia was blushing as she watched her 'beloved' brawl, Gajeel sang and play on his guitar with a bunny Levy dancing next to him with a blush on her face, and Lucy, Mirajane, along Happy, all hid behind the bar to avoid the brawl and flying projectiles. Speaking of flying projectiles, here comes one now!

'What? Oh shit!' Natsu punched the chair into rubble, protecting himself but mostly Erza who was in a state of curiosity as she watched all of what was happening. 'Same old, same old I guess. I need to talk to Gramps.' Natsu grabbed Erza's hand and he guided them through the madness to Makarov's office.

"Hey Gramps, you busy?" He opened the door to see Makarov just fumbling with some papers.

"Not at all, just going through some papers. So how was the first night?" Natsu sat down in front of him before answering.

"Well, it was alright. It seems that her mind has reverted to that of a young child's because she seemed to forget how to do simple things and what simple things are." As they talked, Erza walked around the office and touched many of the books on the shelves "Those are books, Erza."

"Ooh."

"See what I mean?"

"Porlyusica had told me that this was going to happen."

This worried Natsu "So, Gramps, does that mean what I think it means?"

"Yes, unfortunately. This means Erza has mostly likely forgotten how to use her magic."

"So then what do we do then? How do we help her?"

"We're going to have someone teach her. You're going to have to find someone to do that, Natsu."

"Alright Gramps, I'll try. C'mon Erza." The two then walked to the bar since everything had calmed down. "Hey Mira. A Summer Whiskey and a water please."

"Sure. Coming right up!" Natsu closed his eyes and entered deep thought yet again 'Someone to teach her how to use her magic again…But no one in the guild uses magic like Erza. Well, there's Lucy. Lucy doesn't use Re-quip magic sure, but she does know how to summon things using her Celestial keys so there's that. But I still need someone to help with the magic aspect of it. Wait a minute, what about Mirajane? I'm sure she knows how to help Erza use magical energy again. She makes a great teacher.' Natsu then began to remember the lessons about the human body and sex taught to by Mirajane when they were younger. 'Hell! If she can teach me about sex, I'm sure she can teach Erza how to use magic!'

"Hey Natsu!" He opened her eyes and turned his head to the young blonde who was calling him for the fifth time.

"Lucy! Just the person I needed to see!" Natsu smiled widely at her.

"Geez! I've calling you for the past half-hour!" Lucy folded her arms as she glared at the dragon-slayer.

"Ah, sorry. Guess I was too deep in thought." He rubbed the back of his head as he chuckled.

Lucy rolled her eyes then she turned her attention to Erza. "Hi Erza."

She didn't answer her, instead she just grabbed Natsu as she was getting uncomfortable at meeting this "new" person.

"Hey, it's ok. She's nice. Trust me." Natsu patted her arm, relaxing her.

Erza let go of Natsu and timidly look over to Lucy "H-H-Hello." She waved her hand at her as she spoke in a soft voice.

"How are you today, Erza?" Lucy smiled which eased Erza and made her smiled a little.

"I-I'm good thank you." She still spoke in a timid tone, but she did speak louder.

As they talked, Lucy noticed something. Erza wasn't wearing her usual clothes! As a matter of fact, she wasn't even wear her usual boots. She was wearing… Sneakers? Huh. Has moving in with Natsu really changed her?

"So Erza, how's been it living with Natsu?" She asked as she sat on the stool next to the one Erza was sitting on.

Having finally grown comfortable, Erza sat down next to Natsu and smiled as she answered Lucy. "It's great! He's been teaching me a lot of things and he makes really good food!" Her response earned a smile from the dragon slayer and a confused look from the celestial mage.

"Natsu can cook? Really? Natsu?" Lucy chuckle as she thought Erza was joking.

"Hey!" Natsu pouted which made Lucy chuckle more.

"Yup! Natsu's the best cook!" Lucy was surprised since Erza just kept smiling, realizing that she hadn't been kidding.

"Thank you Erza." Natsu patted the redhead on her hand as he smiled, glad someone appreciated his skills.

"Huh…Maybe you show me then, Natsu, and I'll see." Lucy smirked at him.

"Ooh, I'm interested as well! I wanna see if your cooking is as good as mine, Natsu." Mirajane smiled as she brought him the drinks that he ordered.

"Fine, I'll show you both then." He smirked as he grabbed his Summer Whiskey and gave Erza the water to drink. "Here you go, Erza." He then drank his Whiskey in satisfaction. "Ah! Now then. I gotta ask you two for a favor."

Both Lucy and Mirajane looked at each other before looking back at him. Both wondering what he could possibly ask of them.

"I need you two to become Erza's mentors." They both looked at him confused.

"Her mentors?" They spoke in unison as they raised their eyebrows at the same time. Erza drank her water as they continue their conversation.

"Yeah. Her mentors to teach her how to use magic again." This statement surprised both of the girls, making both of their eyes widen slightly.

"Natsu, Erza really forgot how to use her magic?" Mirajane was the first to talk out of her stupor.

"Yes unfortunately and you two are the only ones I know who use similar magic to her." He looked over to Lucy. "And know how her magic generally works." He looked back at Mirajane. "Can you two please help me out?"

"Well…" Natsu looked over to Lucy, hoping the answer would be good "I suppose. Why not? It might be fun! What do you think Mira?" Lucy looked over to Mirajane along with Natsu.

"Yeah, I'm on board as well. I'll help you too, Natsu." Natsu sighed in relief as he got them both to agree to help him.

"Good. Then let's go." As Natsu got up, he felt something soft plant itself onto its back. 'Huh? The hell?' As Natsu turned his head to see what it, he was met with a happy grin all over Cana's face. "Huh? Oh hey Cana. What's up?"

"Natsu, did you forget about you told me? You told me you were going to help me with a mission today, remember?" Cana pouted, which made Natsu smack himself on the head.

'Shit! That's right! I forgot all about that! Uh oh! What about Erza? Can I leave her with Lucy and Mira? No better question: Will she LET me leave without her?' Natsu sighed as he looked over to Erza. 'I guess I gotta try.' Natsu sat down next to Erza once again, this time facing her. "Erza, I'm going to be going somewhere with Cana for a while. You're going to spend the rest of the day with Lucy and Mira, ok?"

Erza grabbed Natsu "NO! I don't want you to go!" She then buried her head into his chest as she whined, getting louder and louder.

Natsu patted her on the back and looked around, seeing that many of his guild mates were watching them and getting slightly embarrassed. However, he didn't show it and focused on the girl clinging onto him right now. "C'mon, Erza. I'll only be gone for a couple of hours. I'll be back before ya know it!" He smiled at her, but this proved to no avail.

"NO! I don't want you to go!" Her eyes were beginning to water as she continued on. Natsu became worried, he hated that: seeing Erza. He could remember the time at the Tower of Heaven where she had cried when her friend Simon died for her. He never did forget that look on her face. That sorrow…It did something to him. It hurt him, both physically and emotionally. He vowed from that day forward, he would never see or make her cry. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head as he grabbed his scarf and wrapped it around Erza's neck.

"Huh?" Erza touched the scarf before looking back at Natsu.

"There! Now if you feel scared, you can hold onto my scarf and remember me. And if you're really scared, hold onto it tight and call for me. I'll be there in a flash. Ok?" Natsu smiled at her, everyone just stared at the two with the same thought in mind:

'No way…D-Did Natsu just trust Erza…With his scarf?!'

"You promise, Natsu?" Erza pouted with tears in her eyes as she looked him.

Natsu wiped her eyes before grabbing her pinky finger with his "Pinky promise." This made Erza chuckle "I'll be back soon. Don't worry." Natsu patted her on the head and hugged her before leaving with Cana. Once the two of them were out of the guild, Cana looked at Natsu with an odd smile.

"What?" He looked at her confused.

"In the words of a little blue cat I know: You liiiiiikkeee her." She spoke in a teasing tone. Natsu looked away from Cana.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" Natsu walked faster, getting away from her.

"Uh, Natsu?" He looked behind him to see that Cana had stopped.

"What?"

"The mission's in Acalypha Town." Natsu's eyes widened at this information.

"But that's four towns over! That would mean-" (A/N: I don't know if that's actually correct. I took a guess.)

"Yup! We're taking the train! Let's go, Natsu!" Cana chuckled as he watched Natsu groan and walk sadly after her as they walked into the train station.

Back at the guild

"Well girls, I suppose that's our cue to leave as well." Mira finished cleaning the cups and walked out of the bar.

"Whose house are we going to?" Erza just looked at the two of them, not uttering a word yet and just kept looking down at Natsu's scarf.

"We'll go to mine." Mira stated nonchalantly "Elfman, I'll see you home soon! C'mon girls!" Mira and Lucy walked over to the guild doors. Lucy looked behind her to see Erza was still sitting down. She walked over to Erza and placed a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look at her.

"C'mon Erza. Time for us to go. Here you can hold if you want." Lucy held out her hand to her, causing her to look down at it. Erza then, slowly, grabbed her hand and got up.

"O-Ok." She then followed Lucy and Mira to Mirajane's home. As they walked, Lucy looked behind her to see Erza looking done at Natsu's scarf again. Lucy chuckled, causing Erza to look up at her.

"Don't worry, Erza. Natsu'll be fine."

Meanwhile on the train

Natsu was laying completely down on one of the train seats as Cana continue on teasing him about him and Erza. 'Uggh…This is going to a long day.' Natsu thought regretfully as he fought back the urge to vomit.
