"Why, why, why, why, WHY?! Natsu!"

"I'm s-sorry...I just wanted to be brave like you guys!"

"You don't have to prove anything to us, Natsu. You're perfect the way you are."

Natsu Dragion smiles at the kind blonde's words and apologizes for putting her into this predicament. Lucy smiles back then swallows in her pride. Who was she kidding? She couldn't fight Knightwalker! She was much more powerful than she was! Not to mention sexier and sleazy. And tricky. And a bit cocky. Like Natsu. Lucy's Natsu. She sighs as she was to face her demons. She came close to Erza's counterpart. Afraid as she was. As she was about to open her mouth, she was hit in the face by Knightwalker. Falling backwards, she was caught by Natsu Dragneel. Her best friend. She looks him in the eye for a minute.

Natsu? Is this really you...?

She slowly smiles at the knucklehead demon and silently thanks him. He blushes a bit and says in his cocky tone of voice," Why, you're welcome, my dear lady." She laughs a bit and hugs him. Not knowing what to do, Natsu slowly wraps his arms around her torso and hugs her back without retaliation.

"You're a jerk, you sleaze!", yells Natsu Dragneel. "Lucy isn't the fighting type and you know that! She's the peace maker. She's the female Gandhi. She's the...the...best friend ever! And we...I mean...I take her for granted...and I'm sorry. Please forgive me, Luc."

Natsu...I...I...is this really you...?

Lucy's eyes start to water up as she struggles to say that he was forgiven. Sasuke intervenes by saying that he wasn't worthy for her forgiveness.

"The fuck do you mean, Sasuke trash?! Lucy's MY friend! Not yours! You don't even know her! You only lokve her for her body!"

Lucy looks at the two boys and pleads with them not to fight. Sasuke and Natsu didn't listen, not noticing that Erza was making a sleep powder and blowing it in the air. Causing the others to sleep. She was up to something but they didn't know that she was planning to kill the two shinobi...


Awaking from his sleep, Sasuke slowly gets up. Looking back and forth. Where the hell was he? Where the hell were they?! Sasuke sighs as he recognizes where he was now. Konoha. Sweet home at last. He sighs a breath of relief but quickly drew in a breath of fear. Knightwalker. She might trap them into some kind of trick. He didn't want to stay longer to find out. The others awaken at last and Naruto cheers as he sees his home.

"Don't get excited yet, Naruto.", says Sasuke.

"Is this your place of Coconut or whatever...?", asks Natsu Dragneel. Being cocky as usual. Sasuke frowns at him.

"It's Konoha, dumb ass."

"Konoha. Coconut. Whatever. Same thing."

Gray Fullbuster rolls his eyes while Gray Surge was too busy looking around the small village. He blows a low whistle and says, "Nice...I'd love to live here...Wanna live here with me, Lucy Ashley...?"

"Shut up, Surge. You idiotic dumb ass."

"You know you love me, babe."

"Don't. Call. Me. Babe!"

"Babe."

"You want to get screwed up again? I'm not your darling little Juvia."

"Leave Juvia out of this!"

"Don't start with me, Surge."

Surge was looking at the sexy counterpart of Lucy H. He later gave in and said, "Fine. Bitch."

"Ha. Thanks for the compliment. Loser."

Sasuke smirks at Lucy Ashley. He was liking her attitude. Wearing all-black and her blonde hair in a slicked ponytail, she eyes the small village and says, "Impressive."

"Thank you!", says Naruto. "Say...where's Knightwalker...?"

They all look around and nearly spazzed. Except Sasuke and the two Grays. Keeping their cool and posture to a mature level.

"Damn it.", says Erza. Looking around as well. She growls and punches the wall of a building next to her. Eventually causing her to create a huge hole on the wall. Everyone nearly dropped their jaws. The family who lived in that building also drop their jaws. Erza just stood there and nearly bawls out in disappointment. Naruto comes to her rescue and apologizes to the family while grabbing her by the shoulders and pushing her away from the scene. Calming her down as well. she thanks him in silent and hugs him. Natsu Dragion was stammering as he was also trying to compliment the village. Wendi was eyeing around as she says, "It's alright, I guess." She was joking around with them, of course. Smirking, Sasuke was laughing to himself. Lucy H. smiles at him and hugs him. Just then, there was a shrill voice. A shrill girl's voice.

"Where the hell have you guys BEEN?!"

Everyone turned around and saw a short girl with cropped pink hair. Wearing a khaki-colored skirt with short dark leggings with a reddish shirt and black gloves. She was upset as she stormed over there. Glaring at the two shinobi and ignoring the rest. Natsu Dragneel whispers in Gray Fullbuster's ear.

"What are we? Yesterday's trash or something?"

Gray just simply shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe she didn't see us...?"

"Pfft. Whateves. We don't care. Right, Erza?"

"Huh? What? Oh, sure."

"Oh, dear Erza.", jokes Wendi. The other Wendy was looking around with Carla. Separating herself from the others. Fool mistake for the young lady.


"Where have you two idiots been? Me and Sai have been fuckin' worried sick for you guys! Do you two even care at all?!"

"Sakura. We can listen to you bitch about us all day if we have to. But we've been...kidnapped...by someone who disappeared."

"Oh, Sasuke! Are you okay? Are you hurt? I'm so sorry for yelling at you...Please forgive me, Sasuke-san!"

Lucy H. rolls her eyes and huffs her nostrils. How does she think she is?! Sakura was CLEARLY not the one for him! Not if she was going to act like THAT!

"Hey! What about me?"

"Stop it, Naruto! You're always getting yourself into stupid situations! AND you dragged Sasuke-san here into your idiotic crap! You're such a dumb ass!"

"Hey, watch your mouth! Naruto here, is NOT a dumb ass! He's really smart and girls like you take him for granted. And you girls suck!"

Erza surprised everyone. Even herself!

What did I do...?

"Yeah...YEAH! I'm right. He's awesome. And you're a terrible person for saying all of that stuff!"

Sakura was staring to feel bad at first but all of her anger started to boil and fester.

"Who are you to tell me what to do?! And how do you even know him?! He's an idiot. You're...whatever you are. You two are never gonna make it."

Erza grabs the front of her shirt while both Natsu Dragneel and Sasuke Uchiha try to break them up. Naruto, meanwhile, wasn't offended. Her words didn't mean anything to her. Not anymore. He knew that she was going to be mean and cruel to him anyway. That's what she does. That's how she was. Mean but smart.

Sai was coming towards the crowd. Wearing a crop top like black shirt and matching pants. A scroll in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Looking from every face staring at him back.

"Woof. Must of missed some action.", Sai says as he looks at them. "What happened?"

Looking at the expression of Sakura's face, he nearly laughs as he asks the young kunoichi, "Sakura, my dear. What happened? The red on your face makes you look like more of yourself."

"Shut up, Sai."

He laughs at her then looks at the Fairy Tail friends. Team Natsu and the others from Edolas. He waves and introduces himself. Erza smiles at the artist ninja while Natsu Dragneel says, "Ha! At least there's someone whose nice and notices us!"

"Hmm. Sakura. You've been mean to these nice folks."

"No way! The redhead over here was very rude!"

"Oh, I'M the rude one here?!"

"Uh, yeah you are!"

"Stop it!", says Sasuke as he comes close to the pink-haired ninja. "You're being a baby. Be your age and help us out. Ok?"

Sakura looks him in the eye and nods. Apologizing to Erza.

"Whatever, I guess. Where's Knightwalker?"

"Who...?"

Sasuke sighs and says, "Have the two of you seen a girl who looks like Erza?"

"I think I have.", says Sai quickly. "She was with this hair with two dark ponytails..."

"WENDY!", screams Natsu Dragneel.

"Sai! Where did you see them?", asks Naruto.

"Umm...heading to the forest, I believe."

"Oh, man! No wonder I didn't hear her nor Carla's big fat mouth!", says Natsu.

"Carla...my sweet Carla! We have to rescue her! And Wendy too...", says Happy, embarrassed. The crew looked at the embarrassed cat and Natsu says cockily, "Alright, my fellow mates! Let's us all go on a little treasure hunt!"

"We're not pirates, dumb ass.", says Lucy Ashley.

"Hey! Only Erza calls me dumb ass! But YOU can call me whatever..."

Lucy A. rolls her eyes while Lucy H. sighs to herself. Trying not to show her frustration any longer than she was. She was still upset at Sakura for what she said to Naruto and treated Sasuke differently from him. How was Naruto any different from Sasuke? He wasn't. And Sasuke's not any different from Naruto. So, what was the problem here exactly? None. I knew it. Sheesh. Sakura was a jerk. But the boys had to put up with her. It was okay though. Naruto didn't care about Sakura anymore. Because all he needed right now to cheer him up was Erza. Way far from being Hinata...but I guess she could do. For now.
