It was time to go to bed and Natsu and Lucy were happy to oblige. They decided to share a bed for the night so that the egg would get warmer. In the morning, they made a 'nest' for the egg and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Breakfast that day was eggs, bacon, sausage, milk, and pancakes. Natsu finished his breakfast in 30 seconds and went back for another helping.

"So, when do you think the egg will hatch, Luce?" Natsu asked with his mouth halfway full.

"I don't know. A week maybe two. We'll just have to wait and see." Lucy smiled.

That whole day, all they did was chat and watch tv, while keeping the egg between them and warm. And, after 5 days of doing just that, the egg started to hatch.

"Natsu, look! It's hatching!" Lucy laughed. Natsu had fallen asleep with it and wouldn't let it go. But now, he bolted up and started at it. The egg was shaking and then it exploded and a blue cat with white wings appeared.

"Look, he's so happy it's contagious!" Lucy grinned and saw that Natsu was too.

"Well then, let's call him Happy!" Natsu smiled.

"I like that name." Lucy said, then Happy flew into her arms and fell asleep as his wings disappeared. "It's also cool that he flies!"

"Yeah." Natsu grinned.

Timeskip~ 3 years

Natsu, Happy, and Lucy decided to take a magic job as training. It was to capture a gang of bandits that were terrorising a nearby village.

"Hey Natsu, you wanna walk there? It's only a mile or two away." Lucy smiled. Then she was assaulted by a happy Natsu hug.

"I thought you'd never say that! I was even getting ready to throw up my breakfast!" Natsu rambled about how great Lucy was and how good they knew each other and how he would make it up to her.

"Okay, okay, calm down. Let's go Happy."

"Aye, sir!" The blue cat shouted, jumping and pumping his fist in the air.

"That's ma'am to you mister."

"Aye sir."

Lucy sighed. When they were half a mile away from the village when it turned dark and they decided to rest for the night. They layed down their sleeping bags and all and then fell asleep after a quick dinner of dried meat and canned fruit.

The bandits watched from the bushes then looked towards the leader expectantly.

"Yes, she's the one we're after." He smiled, looking at the blonde.

When Natsu woke up he freaked out, for Lucy wasn't in her sleeping bag, but a lot of her blood was. He jumped up and ran to her sleeping bag to see a note in it.

Oops, didn't mean to kill her. Oh well, she's still worth money to her father. Ya know, wanted dead or alive. We wanted alive, but ya get what ya get. Bye now.

Natsu was filled with unbelievable rage, and then a few people jumped out at him.

"We're supposed to kill you." The three of them sang all at once.

Natsu growled, knowing these were one of the people who killed Lucy. "Fire Dragon ROAR!" He shouted and a mountain of fire enfulged the trio. When the fire and smoke died down, the trio were sitting in a circle of water, completely unharmed.

"You use fire." One of them have him a thumbs up.

"We use water." Another one laughed.

"We are going to quench your life." The last smiled.

Lucy's POV

My thighs and shoulder throbbed from where they had stabbed me. They had come in the middle of the night, throwing a bag over my head and stabbing me so I couldn't escape. I would've screamed, but I had a gag in my mouth.

They threw me in the river so my scent would be gone and Natsu wouldn't find I was thrown over someone's shoulder, my wrists and ankles tied. My heart was hurting for they said they were going to kill Natsu with water mages. He's a fire mage and I hope he makes it out all right.

I shivered knowing even if he did he couldn't save me. I was sopping wet and shivering. My scent was gone. They would take me back to my father. But I would find Natsu again one day, I would search until I was old and blind and in a coffin. I loved him.
