Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. If I did you would see more of Gray and Lyon

Note: Sorry I took so long to update, I've been busy helping my parents paint and fix up a rental house we own and babysitting my niece. Also I have trouble writing small details, I know the general direction I want the story to go in but the little details take me a while to write . I also am not sure how to write Lyon's character so sorry if he seems out of character. All mistakes are my own. Thank you for all the reviews I like reading them . I'm sure not many people read author's notes but I'm getting a tattoo tomorrow and I just feel like announcing that to anyone, I'm nervous but I really want it . Well on with the story

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had been waiting around, for about an hour in their hotel room for Gray. Gray had gone to look around the village after they completed their mission. Natsu was keeping busy by doing crunches with Happy floating above him. Lucy was reading a book she had brought with her. Natsu sat up suddenly and growled "Where is that stupid ice-block?!"

Lucy put her book down bringing a finger to her chin in a thinking pose "Maybe Gray ran into a lovely girl who needed his help with carrying stuff to her house and then they got coffee together and fell in love or maybe Gray came across wild gang causing trouble and had to teach them a lesson or..or..or – Happy cut her off before Lucy writer's imagination could go further "Lucy your being weird again."

Lucy shouted, "Be quiet cat I'm not weird!"

Natsu spoke up, seemingly having not heard Lucy or Happy, "Where would that stripper have gone?" Lucy replied, seriously, "I'm pretty sure Gray would have let us know if he was going to be gone so long, perhaps we should go search the village for him?"

Natsu sighed "I'm sure popsicle is fine, probably got lost or something; but might as well see what is taking him so long beats hanging here."

Natsu was running through the village looking for Gray. He, Lucy, and Happy had been searching for hours with no luck; they had all split up to find the stripper. Natsu had already covered his area of the village but had no leads to where Gray would be, he couldn't even find his scent. Natsu was heading back to where he, Lucy, and Happy agreed to meet up when he ran straight into someone with a shock of silver hair. Natsu shook his head quickly and looked up from his seated position on the ground; his eyes met dark-black eyes belonging to Lyon. Before Natsu could say or do anything Lyon spoke up, sounding surprised, "Natsu, what are you doing in an icy village like this?"

Natsu picked himself off the ground, breathlessly replying "Not sure how much you care but Gray is missing, we can't find him!"

Before Lyon could reply, Lucy and Happy ran up to Natsu reporting that they couldn't find any hint of Gray anywhere. Natsu yelled "Where the hell is that ice-block?!" Lucy spoke up " I don't think Gray would have just gone somewhere else without telling us. Also something just doesn't feel right, Gray doesn't get lost and he wouldn't have been gone so long usually."

Happy chimed up "So you think something happened to Gray." Lucy replied " It is a possibility wouldn't you think?"

Lyon P.O. V.

Lyon had been listening to their conversation getting more worried than he would care to admit, even to himself, and was slightly confused as to what exactly had happened. Lyon shouted, getting their attention as they seemingly forgot he was there, "Would you guys care to fill me in on what the hell is going on?!"

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy blinked at him multiple times and exchanged looks before Lucy, who apparently was chosen by some unspoken agreement as the spokes person, told Lyon the whole story of their mission and what had happened. After Lyon heard the whole story he was growing more worried and with good reason; he didn't doubt that Gray could handle himself he was a student of Ur after all, but there was a certain reason he was up here. Lyon was in deep thought about why Gray would be missing and what all could have happened when he realized Natsu had been trying to get his attention by calling his name. Lyon snapped out of his thoughts and asked "What do you want?"

Natsu replied "What are you doing up here? And if you're not busy can you help us find Gray?" Lyon spoke up "Well I came up on a mission apparently some of the villagers have heard that someone is out looking for an ice mage around this village and not for a good reason. And after hearing this conversation I can't help but wonder if Gray may have gotten caught up in that mess. So yeah I'll help you guys out."

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy cheered and began planning out a new way to find Gray. Lyon, however, was lost in thought; from what he heard about these people looking for an ice mage it wasn't good and if they had anything to do with Gray's disappearance he would track them down and make them regret messing with any mage.
