Chapter 1: The Finding
*Normal POV*
It was a normal day at the guild. Natsu and Gray were fighting, Erza was trying to break them up, Juvia was trying to find a way to make gray fall for her, Levy was reading, Cana was drunk, Mira was quietly watching, and Lucy was at her usual spot at the bar.
*Lucy's POV*
I really wish that Natsu would stop fighting all the time but we know that that probably will never happen. Lucy thought with a small was almost dark out so she decided to go home for the day. "Bye Mira, see you tomorrow!" Mira smiled and waved at the blonde mage. Man what a long day, I think I'll take a bath when I get home. When she got to her house she found a familiar fire mage asleep on her bed. "Natsu! What are you doing here?!"
"I got hungry so I came here." He said groggily.
"Why didn't you just eat at the guild?"
"Cause Lucy's cooking is much tastier than the guilds." Natsu said with his famous grin. This caused Lucy to blush a little.
"Alright I'll make you some dinner, but you have to let me take a bath after."
"Deal!" With that Lucy made them some dinner and as promised Natsu let her take a bath. He really is a troublesome guy, I honestly don't understand him at all. Ah but this bath is so relaxing. I shouldn't be worrying about him. When she got out of the bath and got dressed she found Natsu holding a strange little object.
"Hey Luce, where'd you get this?"
*Natsu's POV*
"Hey flaimbrain! I heard you destroyed another town. How many towns haven't you destroyed now?" Gray walked into the guild back from a job.
"Oi! What'd you say popsicle?! You're gonna get it now!"
"Bring it on" Natsu hit Gray square in the face causing Gray to do the same. This went on for some time until Erza came and punched them both and they stopped. By the time they had stopped Natsu noticed that Lucy was gone. "Hey Mira, you know where Lucy went?"
"Oh she went home a while ago."
"Aw looks like flaimbrain is worried about his little princess" Gray called out.
"Shut up Gray!" Natsu yelled while his cheeks turned a light tint of pink, and with that he ran out the guild to Lucy's apartment. When he got there he noticed that she wasn't home yet so he decided to wait on the bed, which was somewhat of a bad idea because he ended up falling asleep. The next thing he knew Lucy was yelling at him and dragging him out of her bed.
Why does she have to get so upset? I just wanted some food and then the next thing I know I'm asleep on her bed. "I got hungry so I came here." I said while still half asleep.
"Why didn't you just eat at the guild?"
"Cause Lucy's cooking is much tastier than the guilds." I told her and the I flashed her on of my famous grins. Lucy's cooking is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I remember that time when I tried to cook for her but I almost burnt down her apartment.
"Alright I'll make you some dinner, but you have to let me take a bath after."
"Deal!" I told her. After dinner as promised I let her go take a bath. It was just me in her room so I looked around at all the stuff in her room. I found this book that had a bunch of pictures of all of our guild mates. She had quite a lot of her and Levy which was expected of Lucy. When I got towards the end I noticed this one picture of me, Lucy and Happy. We were all smiling and it was by the magnolia tree, me and happy took her here because during the guild party she became sick. I smiled at it and I noticed off to the side that there was some writing off to the side. It said Me, Natsu and Happy at the Magnolia tree. It is one of my most favorite memories. I couldn't help but blush a little. I closed the book and when I was about to sit down something shiny caught my eye. What the hell is this thing? It looks kind of like a locket, I wonder what's inside? When I got a closer look I noticed that it wasn't a locket but a necklace with a little ring around it. Somehow this looks familiar. Where have I seen this before? And the realization hit me. Lucy came out of the bathroom and I asked her, "Hey Luce, where'd you get this?"
