Hi guys. Stellar Flames here, Natsu and myself hope you're enjoying Flames and Keys . We mainly have the set characters we act as, but we also take turns with the less common characters. with our names we like to go by our favourite character, so I'm lucy, my female friend is natsu . together we worked together to create this fan fic.

thanks to everyone who has reviewed, I love hearing what you have to say so we can improve the story if we need to.

We do not own fairy tail, fairy tail belongs to Hiro Mashima

Footsteps are heard at the front door then they hear the front door close.

Lucy: looks like dad's home

Sebastian: It would appear so. *walks down the hallway to greet Lucy's father*

Lucy: would you like to meet my father

Natsu: Yeah I guess. I'll meet him eventually anyway right?

Lucy: yeah we will

Natsu: *smiles* Lead the way

Lucy: *starts walking to the front door. As she gets closer she takes Natsu's arm off her shoulders. She sees her father* h..hello father

Natsu puts his hands in his pockets.

Jude: Hello, Lucy.

Lucy: how was work?

Jude: It was business as usual. Until I got a call this morning about a car accident

Natsu: *laughs nervously and rubs the back of his neck before holding a hand out to Jude* Yeah, that was my bad. Nice to meetcha. I'm Natsu

Jude: *ignores natsu* Lucy what is a commoner doing in my house?

Natsu takes his hand away and looks away from Jude.

Lucy: this is Natsu, he's one of my friends. He helped me get out of the limo after the accident

Jude: Friends? You should be focusing on your studies instead of having friends

Lucy: *looks down* o..okay

Jude: I do not have time for this. I shall see you at dinner

Lucy: okay father

Jude walks away ignoring Natsu

Natsu: *pouts* What am I? Chopped liver?

Lucy: don't worry, he's like that with everyone

Natsu: It's still no excuse for saying work is more important than even having a social life. Geez Luce, you're a teenager for fuck sake

Lucy: I've gotten used to it

Natsu: *sighs* That sucks

Lucy: yeah it does

-at dinner-

Layla: So, Ruby how was your day?

Ruby: *holding her fork with lamb skewered on the end* boring as usual, all those stuck up students commenting on my clothes

Jude: Maybe if you dressed according to the uniform regulations that wouldn't happen

Ruby: at least I didn't bring a commoner home

Layla: Ruby, enough. I invited Natsu over

Ruby: *frowns* whatever *puts the lamb in her mouth*

Lucy is cutting up her lamb into smaller pieces. Natsu lightly nudges Lucy's leg with his, he looks at her and smiles trying to cheer her up. Lucy blushes slightly then smiles.

Layla: So, Natsu. Isn't the public school one for magic users?

Natsu: Oh, yeah. It is.

Lucy: what magic do you use?

Natsu: I'm a fire mage. I use dragon slayer magic

Layla: Wow. That's rare

Lucy: why don't you go to the private school if that's the type of magic you use?

Natsu: Uhh... I can't afford it. And even if I could, the atmosphere isn't really for me. My mum had me going there for a few years

Lucy: o..okay

Ruby: why did you stop going?

Natsu: *puts his knife and fork down on the plate and wipes his mouth* Well... My parents kinda divorced and not long after my mother passed away.

Lucy is shocked.

Ruby: oh okay *goes back to eating*

Layla: Why don't we see if we can get some entertainment?

Lucy: I..I'm not sure mum

Natsu: It's fine. You don't have to worry about lightening the mood Layla. It happened ages ago

Ruby: *swallows her food then her mouth gapes open* what did you call mother

Natsu: Uh... Layla. It's her name isn't it?

Lucy: yeah it is. But it's kind of rude, calling our elders by the first names

Natsu: *blushes and looks down at his lap* Oh. Sorry

Layla: *smiles* It's quite alright Natsu. The girls were just raised differently than you.

Lucy: *places a hand on Natsu's arm* it's okay, you didn't mean to

Jude: *clears his throat* Lucy. That is not appropriate behaviour for someone of your status.

Layla: Jude. Stop being a stick in the mud. Natsu is her friend

Lucy looks down blushing slightly and moves her hand away

A maid walks in and gathers the dishes. As she walks out she trip and almost drops everything. Natsu bolts out of his seat and catches the dishes before they hit the floor and break.

Maid: *gathers the remaining dishes and looks up at natsu* u..uh t..thank you sir

Natsu: *grins* Not a problem. Did you want some help?

Maid: *shakes her head* n..no I'm quite capable of doing it myself. But thank you

Natsu: Are you sure? I don't mind, and it'll go faster if you have someone helping you

Layla looks at this and smiles. Jude frowns beside her

Maid: *looks at Jude and flinches* n..no I can do it myself

Natsu: O..oh. Okay.

The maid takes the dishes and walks out the door. Natsu walks back to the table and sits down at his seat again.

Layla: *smiles* That was very nice of you to offer, Natsu.

Lucy smiles at natsu.

Natsu: I should probably head home. It's a long walk and I still have to do chores to do

Lucy: do you want me to walk you to the gate

Jude: Lucy. You have a piano lesson remember? I'm sure the boy can walk himself out

Lucy: o..okay father

Natsu: *smiles at Lucy* I'll be fine, Luce.

Lucy smiles slightly at natsu.

As natsu is about to walk to the front door thunder is heard, lightning can be seen from inside. Strong gusts of wind blow at the trees and bushes.

Natsu: *sighs* Great. Someone ticked off Juvia again

Lucy: Juvia?

Natsu: She's a friend. She can kinda make it rain

Layla: You can't walk home in this

Ruby: then what's pinky going to do?

Layla: *smiles* He can spend the night here. It's the least we can do for what he did this morning

Lucy smiles slightly

Natsu: You don't have to do that

Layla: Please, Natsu. I insist.

Lucy: there's a spare room you can stay in up stairs

Natsu: Okay, but... I don't have a change of clothes

Layla: I'll lend you some of Jude's old clothes. In the mean time, Lucy can take you upstairs to the room

Lucy stands up, fixing her dress.

Natsu: *stands up and bows slightly* Thank you for the food

Layla: *smiles* It was no trouble, Natsu.

Lucy: are you ready to go

Natsu: *looks at Lucy and grins* Yeah

Lucy: *walks out the door and up stairs they walk just past Lucy's room. Next door is the spare room* here it is, if you have any problems my room is next door

Natsu: *grins* Thanks, Luce. *walks into the room*
