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

P.S: sorry for the delay guys, I(Lucy) don't have any internet at the moment so for the next month of so the number of chapters I upload isn't going to be as large and won't be as frequent


-While the boys drop Natsu off at the infirmary, the girls go see Makarov and ask that Igneel come to school to pick up Natsu-

Erza: should someone check on Lucy, she didn't look very happy after healing Natsu

Levy: I'll go.

Erza: thank you Levy

-Levy leaves to look for Lucy and finds her in a quiet corner of the library-

Levy: *approaches her* Hi Lucy

Lucy: *looks up from a book she's ready, tears still in her eyes* oh h...hi Levy

Levy: *sits down next to her and hands her a tissue* Do you want to talk about it?

Lucy: *takes the tissue and wipes her eyes and blows her nose* I.. I was so worried when I found him on the ground. Natsu is the first friend I ever made, so I wanted to be able to help him *wipes her eyes*

Levy: Natsu's tough. If anyone is going to be able to pull through this it'll be him

Lucy: h..how can you be so sure?

Levy: *smiles* Because he saved me from Sting, Rogue, Cobra and Gajeel.

Lucy: Gajeel?

Levy: *nods* Uh huh. Natsu and I transferred in at the same time, but we weren't really friends. His hair colour kind of made him a target for bullies and so did mine. Anyway, not too long after I started I had a run in with Sting and his gang. Gajeel used to be a part of the gang. They were about to... do things to me, or at least Sting was. Natsu showed up and stopped them, but not before he copped a fair beating from them.

Lucy: he's such a nice guy, always helping people

Levy: Yeah. He always has been as long as I've known him.

-end of 4th period-

Lucy is walking towards the front of the school with her bag

Sting: *wraps an arm around Lucy's shoulders and grins* Hello there

Lucy: *surprised. She looks at sting* u..uh hi

Sting: What's a pretty girl like you doing all on her own?

Lucy: *blushes slightly* I..I'm heading home

Sting: All alone?

Lucy: no, my chauffer is driving me home

Sting: Oh, Okay. I heard about Pinky. Real shame that

Lucy: please don't talk about that *goes to walk off*

Sting: Wait. I'm sorry, I just thought I'd give you an opportunity to help him

Lucy: *stop* what?

Sting: *smiles* If you join up with me and some other dragon slayers, we can help you protect him

Lucy: I...I don't know

Gray: *walks up to them* What do you think you're doing Sting?

Sting: Ahh, Fullbuster. I was merely offering my assistance to a damsel who needed it.

Gray: Didn't Natsu warn you to stop going after people? Did you learn nothing from what happened the last time?

Lucy clenches her fists. White flames form around them

Sting: *smirks* I think he's just regretting not joining me when I gave him the offer. If he had, I'm sure today wouldn't have happened

Sting notices the white flames on Lucy's hands

Sting: Well, well. Looks like you know a little bit of fire magic as well. Not just a pretty face after all

Lucy: h..how would you be able to help natsu?

Sting: If he had other elements at his disposal rather than just fire, a beating like that should not happen again. Dragon slayers protect their own after all

Lucy: really?

Sting: *smiles* Really

Lucy: *blushes slightly* I..I'll have to think about it

Sting: I understand. Until next time. *he turns and leaves*

Gray: *walks up to Lucy* You can't seriously be thinking of taking him up on his offer are you?

Lucy: *looks down* I...I don't know

Gray: *sighs* Well in any case I'm glad Natsu told me to keep an eye out for you

Lucy sighs. She continues walking to the front of the school

Gray: *walks with Lucy* I don't mean to make you feel bad, but you should know he was really worried about you

Lucy: why would he be worried? We only just met yesterday

Gray: Natsu's the kind of guy that worries about people, regardless on how long he's known them

Lucy: I just don't understand why he would be worried. I'm nothing special

Gray: If it helps... I've never seen Natsu take such an interest in a girl before. You probably don't see it because you haven't known him as long as the rest of us. But the way he acts with you is different than with the rest of us

Lucy: *blushes slightly* h...how does he act different?

Gray: The best way to describe it... is he's less reckless and thinks things through more.

Lucy: o..okay

Gray: *looks at Lucy and smiles* I've never seen flame brain so protective over anything or anyone before either.

Lucy: p..protective... of me?

Gray: Yeah. He told me what happened with Sting and his lackies in the hallway and he made sure I promised to keep an eye on you in case Sting tried anything. He wouldn't leave the infirmary until I promised

Lucy: no ones ever done that for me before

Gray: Natsu's a great guy if you get on his good side. You cross him or anyone he cares about though and you're pretty much screwed

Lucy: o..okay

Gray: *walks her to the limo* Chances are he won't be coming to school tomorrow. You're more than welcome to hang out with us though

Lucy: thank you Gray. *Gets in the limo. She smiles slightly and waves as the limo leaves*

Gray smiles and waves
