*! I need more reviews for which pairing! At the moment it's a draw!*

~Reeve's musings ~

Thanks for the reviews people, and sorry for the longer wait for this chapter I really wasn't in the 'typey' mood. #I copied Mashima's musing –manga ;)# and I'm not gay, I was fraped by RM. No offence to anyone directly or indirectly reading this. ! Anyway, Enjoy!

Chapter 5

Nutsu and Lucy finally arrive at a diner called Rustic Ray's- a cheap place that smells of overly concentrated garlic. Shortly before arriving a big depressing looking guy with a greased apron waddled over and asked for their order... He perked up quite a bit when he had finished staring constantly at Lucy's Ehem! Frontal structure. 'Maybe my sexiness will work more on this guy' Lucy wonders while doing an unneeded flirtatious flutter of the eyes. He drops on the floor, tasered...'Yep that'll work.'

"Umm are you ok?" She says acting dumb.

"I'm f-fine. What would you like?"

"I'm not eating. Natsu?" She turns to see Natsu staring at her knowingly. 'Did he notice... Awkward'

"I'll have one of everything"

"WHAT! I don't even know if I have enough for myself"

"Well you shouldn't have flirted. You're cruel."

'He noticed eek.' "I didn't mean too."

"Ya sure. You're no better than that fake salamander" A mental stake stabs Lucy saying 'the same' on its hilt.

"Anyway why have you brought your cat?"

"That's not just a cat it's my partner. Your really cruel sometimes, did you know that" He says looking at her sternly.

"Aye" The cat whimpers tearfully.

"YOU CAN TALK?" Lucy exclaims gobsmacked.

"Of course he can talk he's a cat"

"Lucy your cruel!" The cat states turning his back on Lucy. 'That's not an explanation of why he talks.' She mentally says giving up.

"Anyway why didn't you speak before?"

"Happy's shy around strangers you know. Especially seemingly good, but turn out to be bad people"

"I'm not bad. I'm giving you a meal aren't I?"

"That's true." The man finally arrives at the table. Quickly retreats with fears of being flirted with again. Natsu and Happy start to eat ...like pigs, there food spewing everywhere in a 2 metre radius.

"Please don't make such a mess while you eat your embarrassing me." They stop and glare at Lucy "fine carry on. I thought that guy was from fairy tail, but it wasn't him he was using a charmed ring. I really did want to meet the real salamander to join fairy tail." She pauses"Oh Fairy tail is a mage guild, one of the most powerful. Well look at me, nattering on about magic. Why did you go see him."

"Natsu was looking for his adopted father Igneel" Happy responds

"Are you the real salamanders son?" Lucy says starting to get excited.

"No, I heard that guy was a fire mage so I thought it was Igneel"

"So Igneel's a fire mage?"

"No, he's a fire dragon"

"WHAT! Why would a dragon show up in the middle of a town, and tell everyone about it?"

"Oh ya." 'This guy really is simple'

"Well see ya. I've got to go and find the Fairy tail mage hall. Bye"

"WAIT! Lucy" shouts Happy. She turn to see them both on the floor bowing

"Please get up you're embarrassing me" she turns to the door and leaves the diner before a hand from the other side of the door stops her.

"WAIT!" It was Natsu. He faces Lucy then quickly -without warning – hugs her. Lucy begins to blush before Natsu and happy run off in the semi darkness of the evening. Lucy turns a corner her mind flickering on the previous event.

"LUCY! Was it?" Lucy screams in shock as a man jumps out of the bushes in her path.
