Hey guys! I'm back! thank you all for reading this story and to everyone that followed it!

Natsu's POV

I walked into the guild today pretty early. I woke up today really excited so I just had to come straight here. These bandits are going to be like taking candy from Happy. Easy and funny at the same time. It was to bad Happy wouldn't be with me on the job. He went with Carla to go visit a friend of hers. It'll be quite different without him, but its going to be different with Lisanna too.

I sat down at the table closest to the door. Mira occasional came over to ask me if I wanted any food. I took her up on the offer and accepted a plate of turkey.

I waited for Lisanna for maybe 20 minutes or so. Finally, she runs into the guild with her luggage. She gave me a slight smile and a wave. I sat up from my chair leaving my plate on the table. I walked over to the door with Lisanna and waved goodbye to Mira who gave me a kind smile and a slight nod.

I looked over at Lisanna "Ready?" I smirked looking at her luggage. It looked like she shoved her whole room in there.

"Yep! I have everything we would ever need!" she reassured, tapping the case lightly. I looked down once more at her overflowing case. I smiled a bit and opened the guild doors for her.

"After you milady." I said, holding the door open. She giggled and slipped pass me, her suitcase dragging by her side. I followed behind her as we left for the hotel.

I couldn't help but think this was going to be a really fun mission.

Lisanna's POV

I watched Natsu as we walked down the roads towards the hotel. I never noticed how handsome he was. I couldn't stop but watch him when he talked and smiled. He just seemed so different from when we were kids. Now he is strong and independent and I can't help but let it draw me closer to him.

My heart skips a beat every time I think about sharing a hotel room with him! or how we will fight together to bring down these criminals! I just know we are going to be a great team!

"Hey, Natsu?" I asked looking over at him. His eyes seemed dazed but he soon responded.

"Yeah?"

"Where is this hotel?" I wondered looking back and forth between buildings. Natsu looked ahead and pointed his finger to a tall white building with a beautiful garden growing on the side. Natsu gave me a huge smile and grabbed my arm.

"Well? lets go!" he yelled pulling me along at a faster and faster pace until we were practically sprinting. I Laughed a little at his childlike actions. We finally slowed down when we arrived.

"Geez, Natsu." I joked, playfully punching his arm as I gulped in air. He gave me a toothy grin and punched me back ever so lightly.

"Your outta shape." He smiled not looking away from my eyes. My heart fluttered when he looked at me like that. I blushed a little but averted my eyes away so he didn't see.

We walked up the stone step up to the door. Natsu hit the red button on the side. We looked at it for awhile wondering if anything was going to happen when all of a sudden the door opened.

I looked at Natsu and he looked back at me but we just shrugged and entered.

There were many pictures on the wall. Princesses and duchesses covered the walls. The pictures sat side by side, fore there was no room really for them all to separated.

Natsu and I went on ahead to the large desk that was in the middle of the room. As nice of a hotel this was, the desk was a mess. There were documents and keys lying around, not to mention the black pens spilled everywhere. We looke daround for a bit for someone to give us a room key only there was no one in sight.

Natsu was about to hit the bell when a large lady with red lip stick appeared. She looked like something out of a scary novel. Fortunately she was dressed up in nice clothing.

"Hello, a room for two please." Natsu stated pulling out his money. The lady rolled her eyes and mumbled something that sounded like 'young love' or something along those lines. She handed us our key and walked straight into the back room.

"Ok...then." I mumbled.

Natsu led us to our room. When we opened the door we saw two large beds. The window was covered by gold silk while the pillows and blankets were a light yellow. The room was elegant and light that just made it feel like home.

"Wow..." Natsu whispered dropping his luggage. He walked up to the nearest bed and collapsed. I giggled and did the same to the bed across from his. We looked at each other and giggled.

I sat up from the bed and opened my suite case. It had clothes and books in it. I grabbed a white tank top and a long blue skirt to wear today and went to the bathroom to change into them.

When I came back into the room, Natsu had already fallen asleep. I walked up to his bed and sat on the edge. I looked into his calm face and saw how gentle and nice he was when he slept. I wish I could know what its like to sleep next to him. I shook myself back into reality and out of my dream land.

"Natsu! Wake up." I said shaking his shoulder. He looked at me and then sat up.

"What time is it?" he asked me rubbing his eyes from just waking up. He stretched out a bit and looked back to where I was sitting.

"Its time to go." I exclaimed jumping up from my recent place on his bed. I walked over and grabbed my bag, relieved I didn't have to carry my suit case around anymore.

Natsu and I headed off to meet with Lord Z, the guy who put in this request.

It was quite a long walk but I didn't mind, it just meant that I got more time with him. We walked up to the address. It was a small cottage on the end of the street called Yetz.

Natsu knocked on the door several times. When no one answered his anger got the best of him and he burned the door open.

It was strange. It looked like there had been no one living here for years.

'CLICK.' was the last sound I heard before I was hoisted up into the air in a net. I struggled to get out.

"Natsu! It was a trap!" I screamed. I tried to use my magic to get out of the net but it didn't work. Natsu shushed me and I calmed down. It was extremely quiet until 8 or 10 men came through the door.

"You let her go right now..." Natsu grumbled as his fists lit up into two raging fire balls. The men snickered and laughed as they watched me struggle. Natsu just became angrier and angrier.

"Fire dragon roar!" Natsu screamed, lighting the floor on fire. The men seemed to panic as their feet began to burn. one by one they ran out of the house and Natsu jumped up and pulled the net away from me and held me bridal style till we had made it out of the house.

The men seemed to be more scared of Natsu then I thought, fore when we got outside, they seemed to all disappeared.

I looked up at Natsu, a shadow cast over his eyes. He seemed to be upset.

"Natsu I know your upset but.." I stopped. Natsu gave me a frightening look, it was a mix of sadness and the desire to kill a person. I stepped back and he finally snapped out of it.

"I'm sorry Lisanna." He whispered looking down towards the ground. I looked into his eyes when his gaze left the ground.

"For what? you didn't do anything wrong." I replied grabbing his hand.

He looked down at our hands, "Lucy was right, we should have just gone on a different job. This one was a waste of our time." he said looking back up.

"Don't worry." I smiled. "Now we can just have a vacation." I laughed trying to cheer him up. It seemed to be working cause he smiled and laughed too.

"So I guess we can just stay at the hotel for awhile huh?" he marveled, now looking completely into my eyes. We both smiled and walked back to the hotel.

He seemed to be mad about the situation but I hope maybe just by having a vacation he can forget about everything, The job and Fairy Tail. But most importantly I hope this vacation brings us closer together, so that maybe one day we can be more than just friends.

Lucy's POV

I woke up sore. Everything was foggy and I couldn't really make out anything. I just remember the burning sensation in my neck. The pain in my neck faded but the pain in my body never ceased.

When things started to become clearer I could see I was in the clearing where I had saw the little boy. I thought for sure they would have taken me to a secret layer where they would have tortured me and kept me there for the rest of my life, but I guess that was just me thinking the worse. Although it does seem they beat me up a bit. I can feel the bruises on my legs and arms.

They drugged me so they could beat me up? What kind of people do that?

I tried to get up but my body hurt so bad I couldn't even move. I kept trying to get to my feet or even crawl out of the ally way to get help but my body always shook and collapsed before even making it to my hands and knees. I kept trying until my body wasn't capable of it anymore.

When I finally thought I was gaining my strength back, the fog of unconsciousness ripped through me and I was pushed into the darkness again.

OH GOD! Lisanna's fishing for some Natsu action! and what the HECK! what's going on with Lucy? Did these people really just beat her up? or did they do something more serious?

Stay tuned ;P
