Chapter 3

WOW! Lucy thought in wonder. This place is fucking huge. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy stood tall in front of the large Fairy Tail building. Lucy was about to push open the doors like a normal person until Natsu - the not so normal person - kicked open the doors like a freaking animal. "Who the hell am I kidding, I did the same thing at home." Lucy said as she walked in, nonchalant about the door hanging onto it's hinges for dear life.

"WE'RE BACK!" Natsu announced, extremely loud. Lucy then decided to cradle her poor ears, she was shocked they weren't bleeding or something remotely close to that. "Dude!" A random man shouted. "You really went all out this time! I heard Hargeon was -" Natsu interrupted him in a simple manner... kicking Mr. Random in the face, sending him across the guild hall. "YOU LITTLE - You lied to me about Salamander!" "Don't blame me! I only told you some rumors I happened to hear!" Random complained. "WHAT?!" "You wanna fight?" Next thing you know the guild was irrupted in an all out guild fight. "Now, Now Natsu. That's enoug-" Happy was cut off as he was knocked out.

Lucy's Thoughts on everyone so far

As the fight throughout the guild rages Lucy recognizes so people from Sorcerer Weekly Magazine.

"Oh, Natsu's back!" A man in his boxers yelled. "It's time to settle what happened from the other day!"

Gray Fullbuster: He is competent at his work, but he also has a bit of a habit - okay a very serious habit of taking his clothes off.

Gray is last seen running off into the current fray in the guild, mainly going in to attack Natsu Dragneel.

Natsu Dragneel: A male mage in his late teens who happens to be extremely fond of 'Bubble Gum Princess Hair Dye'.

Natsu Dragneel is last seen walking into his guild immediately starting a guild fight, that appears to be his ultimate ability... destruction. After just getting yelled at for destroying half of Hargeon his resolve is to destroy half of Fairy Tail to make things even for everyone but Makarov's bill.

Cana Alberona: Fairy Tail's heaviest drinker, no one has been able to bet her - yet.

"Gray, your clothes!" Cana shouted. "Whoops!" Cana sighed. "This is why I can't stand the men here. They don't have class." Then Cana continued drinking her barrel of beer. "Come on. Fight me!" Gray yelled. "Put on some clothes first!" Natsu shouted over the fumbling group. "It's only noon and your already whining and crying?" An unknown deep voiced male asked. "You aren't kids, you know."

Elfman: A musclebrain wizard who solves everything with his fists. Catchphrase: "Real men speak with their fists!"

Natsu and Gray turned around and punched Elfman. "But out!" They yelled in unusual unison. A man sighed. "Ugh. How noisy."

Loke: One of the highest ranked on the "Most desired wizard Bachelor" list.

Because of his complaint he suffered a blow to the head from a bottle. "Loke!" His groupies cried out in worry. Loke growled. He stood up and put on his pick up smile. "I'm gonna go join in! For you girls!" He had the girls completely wrapped around his finger. "Good luck!" Lucy crossed him off her boyfriend material book. "He is off my list for sure." Lucy sighed. "But what is with this place? There isn't one sane person here." Lucy looked around at the fighting guild mates.

"Oh, are you new here?" A soft and sweet voice asked Lucy. "Huh?" Lucy turned around to see her role model. "Mirajane! The Mirajane!" Lucy fangirled around Mirajane. "The demon Mirajane! The model Mirajane!" Lucy felt like she was in Heaven. Mirajane smiled.

Mirajane: A wizard who's photo spreads are featured in Sorcerer Weekly.

"Wait, should we stop them?" Lucy asked, she was confused seeing as Mirajane did nothing to stop the rambunctious group. "There always like this. We should just let them be." Mirajane said with her never ending smile that was still there. "Besides - " Mirajane was cut off as Elfman was thrown at her. "Besides, it's fun. Don't you think?" Mirajane said as her soul tried to escape her. "Mirajane-san!" Lucy cried. Gray was thrown into Lucy, while Natsu was swinging his boxers around laughing.

"My boxers!" Gray shouted, the thing that covered his manhood was in the hands of his opponent. Lucy looked down, then looked up pissed. "DID YOU JUST THROW A NAKED MAN AT ME?!" Lucy roared, but went through deaf ears. Gray looked over at her. "Miss, could you lend me some underwear-" Gray didn't get to finish as he was hit with some bat she just found, ending him flying across the guild. Lucy was then grabbed by Loke. "I simply can't stand these insensitive fools." Loke said as he eyes racked up her huge measurements. Elfman revived himself and punched Loke, sending him flying. "Real men speak with their fists!"

Natsu came and kicked Elfman out of view. "I said butt out!" "Aye!" Happy, um... ayed(?) Cana was upset. "Ugh, how annoying. I can't even have a nice, relaxing drink." Cana sighed. She pulled out a glowing card. "You guys had better knock it off!" Cana yelled. "Now I'm mad!" Gray yelled in an ice-make position. Elfman roared as he created his Beast Arm: Stone Bull. Loke starts to use his ring magic. "What a nuisance you people are." Natsu spelled fire around his fists. "Bring it on!" Lucy held Happy up as a shield. "A fist fight with magic?" "Aye!" "Don't give me an 'Aye!'"

"THAT'S ENOUGH YOU FOOLS!" A gigantic hulking creature yelled, I mean it could be human but it did look like a deer at the moment. Or an elf. "Damn, he's huge!" Lucy yelled, shocked he could even get his ass in here but oh well. Everyone stopped, and there was a noticeable silence. "Oh, you're still here Master?" Mirajane asked the Master thingy. "Yeah." "Master?" Lucy asked, that thing was Master yet it could barely fit in here. Natsu suddenly laughed. "What a bunch of wimps! Looks like I win this!" Natsu was stepped on by Master. Lucy flinched. Master looked up. "You new here?" Lucy looked astonished, he just stepped on someone yet he's worried about her. "Y-Yeah." Giants. What are you gonna do with'em.

Wind gathered around Master, then he shrunk. Lucy stared dumbfounded. "Nice to meet cha!" Master said with a salute. Lucy let her mind speak freely for a moment. "Tiny. Wait, he's your master?" Lucy asked, sure just a few seconds ago she wasn't questioning but he was huge! Tiny Master has you questioning. "Yep! This is Mr. Makarov, Fairy Tail's Master!" Mirajane happily announced. That smile still hasn't left her face, it's still huge. "Oh MY MAVIS! He is soo tiny, and tiny things are cute! Chibi Master!" Lucy cooed over the master's 'cute' appearance. The Master jumped up to the second floor, though he got hit by the railing, and acted like he never bumped into the railing.

After Makarov's heartwarming, touching, and long as Hell speech.

The guild was excited and touched by their Master's speech. Everyone immediately agreed. Mirajane then gives Lucy her Fairy Tail guild mark on her right hand, it really doesn't match her at all considering she wears black, blue, and very little yellow. Including her hair. The stamp she asked for was pink. "There, now your a new member of Fairy Tail!" Mirajane cheered. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you get that color? Pink doesn't really seem like your favorite color." Lucy looked at Mirajane with a sad smile. "It's not my favorite color. It was the favorite color of someone who was special to me when I was younger, but she died." "Sorry for your loss." "It's okay, as long as the people around me smile I am capable of living longer without any pain." Lucy explained. Mirajane smiled, to her it was a nice way to think of things.

"Oi, Natsu. I got the Fairy Tail mark!" Lucy cheered. Natsu was just standing and staring at the request board like Nab, it was a very awkward scene indeed. "Oh, yeah? That's great Luigi." Natsu answered dully. "Do you wanna die? If you don't get it right, my name is LUCY!" Lucy roared at Natsu, no one absolutely no one got her simple name wrong. And she sure as Hell wasn't gonna let it happen now. "Oh! 160,000 Jewels for getting rid of some thieves!" Natsu piped in happiness. "Then it's decided!" Happy shouted.

"Is my dad still not back yet?" a little dark haired boy asked Makarov. Makarov was chugging down his beer. "Your getting on my nerves, Romeo." Natsu watched as this happened. "If your a wizard's son, have faith in your father and wait at home quietly." Makarov told Romeo. "He said he'd be back in three days, he's been gone for a week now!" Romeo shouted in worry. It was not everyday you see a child worrying about his parent, it was normally the other way around. "If I recall it was a job on Mt. Hakobe... " Makarov stated. Romeo fisted his hands in rage. "That isn't that far away! Go look for him!"

"Your old man's a wizard!" Makarov yelled quietly. "There's no wizard in this guild who can't take care of himself! Go home and have some milk or something!" Lucy and Mirajane watched with sad eyes. It reminded Lucy of her relationship with her father when she was younger, always being worried when he left and came later than when he said he should arrive. Romeo punched Makarov, hard. "STUPIDHEAD!" Romeo yelled. Romeo ran off yelling, "Darn it!"

"That was really harsh..." Lucy muttered. "Despite what he said, the master really is worried." Mirajane told her. BANG!The request board had been punched by Natsu, leaving a dent in it's wake. "Hey! Natsu! Don't break it!" Nab yelled. Lucy watched as Natsu walked off not looking back, obviously he was upset. Nab walked over and leaned on the bar next to master. "I don't know about this master. He's gonna try to save Macao." Nab warned master. Random sighed. "He's such a kid." Nab rubbed the back of his head. "He's just gonna end up hurting Macao's pride."

"No one is allowed to choose the path others take. Let him be." Makarov told them. Lucy looked confused. "What happened to him, anyway?" Lucy asked. "Natsu's in the same boat as Romeo." Mirajane told Lucy. "I guess he see's part of himself in him." Mirajane looked sad at the plate she was wiping. "All of us Fairy Tail wizards have our own issues of some sort. Whether it's scars, pain, or suffering..."

"Why are you here?" Natsu asked, clearly not pleased to see Lucy there. I mean she didn't get it, she isn't like Gray at all! "What's the big deal?" Lucy questioned. "You and vehicles don't mix at all, huh?" Lucy observed, it wasn't hard to tell seeing as he was like a blob on the carriage. "Oh, I feel bad for you in so many ways..." Lucy stopped and let the words drift for some dramatic effect. Natsu immediately went on the defense. "What's that supposed to mean?" Lucy giggled. "Oh, nothing."

Mirajane's voice

"Natsu's father left and never came back, though technically he was only his foster father. A dragon." "When Natsu was little, the dragon found him in the forest, took him in, and taught him all about language, culture, and magic." "But... But, one day, the dragon suddenly disappeared." "Natsu looks forward to the day he will see Igneel again, that's kind of cute. Don't you think?"

By now Mirajane's voice should have faded.

The carriage stopped. "We've arrived?" Lucy thought aloud. Instantly Natsu shot up revived. "IT STOPPED!" Flames of happiness surrounded the dragon slayer as he danced. "Sorry! This is as far as I can go!" The driver announced. Lucy looked a little peeved, she would have to walk the rest of the way?!

"HOLY SHIT!" Lucy only brought her jacket with her, not boots. "My shoes will get ruined! I know we're on a mountain but it's supposed to be fucking summer!" Lucy complained, she was pissed she just got these shoes. Her father wouldn't allow her to buy them so she waited until she ran away for these, for her those shoes were her motivation. "THIS BLIZZARD ISN'T FUCKING RIGHT!" "That's what you get for not changing your shoes." Natsu sternly told her, in her case unhelpfully. "You're wearing fucking sandals, you don't have to worry about shit! Especially if your a goddamn fire dragon slayer! Let me ride on your back!" Lucy yelled, she was beyond pissed, these were her babies!

"Man, she's annoying." Natsu tried to quietly tell Happy. "Aye!" The only thing running through Lucy's mind when it came to Happy was Chirpy the fish-lover's gonna go DOWN! Lucy facepalmed. "What the hell is wrong with me?!" Lucy said excited. "Why didn't I think of this earlier?!" Lucy pulled out a key from her hair band. "Open, Gate of the Clock Constellation: Horologium!" A walking, talking, clock appeared in front of them. "Oh! A clock!" "Cool!" Lucy nearly knocked them dead, have they never seen a clock before? Lucy got in the clock, sitting down with legs crossed thanking God she was wearing pants today.

Lucy started talking, though no one could hear her. "Huh? I can't hear you." Natsu said obviously confused about what was being said. Horologium came to his rescue. "I'm staying in here, she says." Natsu sighed. "Why did she even come?" Lucy leaned back with her hands behind her head, Horologium may be sound proof but she could hear them perfectly fine. They were lucky she wasn't on her period or she would make them her bitches. "What job brought Macao to a place like this?, she asks." Horologium repeating everything for her made her agitated, but at least her shoes were Mt. Hakobe free. "You came along without knowing?" Natsu asked. Lucy 'tched' "Ungrateful bastard." She muttered. "There is a reason I'm asking now." She sighed and looked at him so he could continue.

"He was gonna subdue (Why does Natsu only know smart words that have to do with fighting?) a Vulcan, a vicious (See) creature." Natsu explained to Lucy. Lucy felt like she was in grade school again, she didn't need a description on Vulcans. She was absolutely NOT clueless. "I want to go back, don't need to describe everything, she proclaimed in a need to be mentioned pissed off mood., she proclaimed in a pissed off mood." Horologium stated. "Be my guest, I reply." Natsu and Happy continued trudging up the mountain. "Aye!"

Lucy could faintly hear Natsu yelling. Lucy sighed, " Horologium, can you get my T boats from the spirit world?" "Yes, I can." Something landed on Lucy's head. "What the- oh thanks." Lucy smiled, these were another reason for her leaving. Those rock'in boots she bought last week. Horologium knew the drill perfectly well since Lucy asked him to memorize it for just in case. Timberland heeled boots that reached her knee, yellow tie clip, and a yellow belt, everything else on her outfit remained the same.

Lucy stepped out of Horologium, closed his glass door, thanked him kindly, dismissed him, turned around, then wished she hadn't.

"A human girl!" The Vulcan shouted in glee, problem was is that Lucy was far from glee. "It can talk?" Natsu wondered. But then again he had Happy and he can also fly, so this should be nothing weird. Before Lucy could do anything the Vulcan restrained her arms and ran off to Mavis knows where, this is King Kong all over again. "Help me already!" Lucy shouted, without her arms she couldn't perform any spells. Natsu just kind of stared as she was taken away.

Being taken to the summit of the mountain, Lucy really got a good look at this Vulcan and his personality. She didn't even start fighting it yet, why? He still restrained her arms. "How the hell did this happen to me?" Lucy found herself questioning that because this was a very strange situation to be in. "What's with this monkey? He's too upbeat!" "Girl." Steam blew from his nose, he was too happy to have a girl in his presence. Lucy got chills just staring at him, he was just staring at her in silence.

It was a stare down.

Who would lose first?

"Monkey!" Natsu yelled as he finally brought his ass into the scene. "Where's Macao!" Natsu may have been running at an impressive speed but he didn't realize they were on ice. He slipped right past the Vulcan, although the Vulcan was too busy staring at Lucy's measurements to care. "Whoa, so uncool. Can't he make an appearance like a normal person." Lucy sighed in shame for knowing this guy. Natsu who was still upside down asked, "Alright Monkey, where's Macao?!"

The Vulcan finally noticed Natsu and let go of Lucy's arms. "You understand me. Where's Macao? A human man." Natsu added to get it through the Vulcan's head. Lucy just stood there, dumbfounded. Where the hell was Happy?! "Man." "That's right! Where did you hide him?!" Natsu said as he pointed at the Vulcan dramatically. DRAMA QUEEN! I'm surprised he didn't snap his fingers for emphasis. Although noticing it, it must have been really hard. You should try it.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. You already decided he hid him?!" Lucy shouted in shock, him and his conclusions. Outrageous. The Vulcan waved his hand to make sure he got Natsu's attention, and pointed to his right. "Oh, it understood!" Natsu yelled. He went to the direction he had been guided to, to find hole in the wall. He just looked out it since there was really nothing other then that he could do. "Where is he?!" Natsu shouted questioningly. The Vulcan pushed Natsu right out, he couldn't believe Natsu bought it, but hey. Free human girl.

"MONKEY!" Natsu shouted as the darkness of the mountain swallowed him. "Natsu!" Lucy yelled with wide eyes. That retard! The Vulcan just danced. "No men. Like girls." Vulcan shouted happily. "Fuck no, don't tell me! Don't tell me this retard's died!" Lucy couldn't believe it, but it happened. She's not cold, just used to it. "Girl! Girl! Girl! Girl!" The Vulcan couldn't believe he managed to literally snag a girl. "Oi! Perverted ape!" Lucy yelled as she turned to face it. She pulled out her gate key. "Satan Soul, Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!" (She named it after Mira's Take Over since she had no idea what to call it) Lucy turned into demonic hybrid of Taurus. (She meant it when she said it was like take over, but not take over)

"Female Demon Cow?" The Vulcan asked, never seen anything like it. Her half pony-tailed hair looked wilder and a little curlier, she had horns jutting out of her head, enlarged bull like ears with pointed edges, darker eyes with longer eyelashes, gold nose ring, sharp canine teeth but 4 noticeably sharper and her lips become covered in dark lipstick, a tag for an earring, cow bell necklace, a furry cow-print tube top that reached just under her breast, her forearms are become covered in a furry cow-print pattern as well, golden claw gauntlets that cover the back of her transformed arms, like Taurus she wore blue swim briefs, a cow tail, black high-heeled thigh-high boots, a sash, a demonic looking belt as well, and she wielded a giant ax.

"Taurus is the most powerful celestial spirit I have a contract with." Lucy said in her newly darkened voice. "In a way it will be a battle of the perverts since Taurus is originally a perverted bull."

"No one will take my girl!" The Vulcan shouted. "My girl?" Lucy laughed as she picked up her ax. "Those are fighting words." Lucy threw her ax into the air in a spinning motion, jumped up and grabbed it. She slammed it down onto the ice making huge crater upon inpact. Lucy snorted. "So he's fast." As the Vulcan came to attack Lucy, she was prepared. Problem, um Natsu kicked her in the side before she could strike again. "NATSU?!" Lucy yelled in disbelief, didn't he just die a few minutes ago?

"Huh? Is it me, or are there more monsters now? Wait, how do you know my name demon?!" Natsu yelled running to attack. Lucy sighed, when he was close enough to land a hit she picked him up by his hand and threw him. "It's me Lucy, you retard!" Lucy roared. Natsu looked at with a face that obviously spelled 'You know I'm stupid so help me out here', well that was Lucy's def of the face. "Remember when I explained this to you the first time we met." Natsu nodded then his expression noticeably changed from *.* *o* *O*.

"Oh yeah, sorry Luigi." "You have one fucked up memory don't you?" Natsu rubbed his neck, in embarrassment. Not everyday where you attack a partner exists. "Wait, how'd you survive?" Lucy just remembered he was alive, funny shit for her. "I owe that to Happy, thanks." "Aye!" Lucy was confused. "You're no good when it comes to vehicles, but fine riding Happy?" She has never heard of motion sickness like that. Natsu's face quickly shifted to confusion. "What are you talking about? Happy isn't a vehicle, he's my friend." Natsu was very put off at the comment. "Wow your simpleminded." Natsu was amazed, with that fact. "Y-Your right. I'm sorry..." Lucy hates apologizing and being called simpleminded but for some reason, she was awkwardly okay with that.

"My girl!" The Vulcan yelled as it swung it's fist down on Natsu. Natsu managed to block it with his arm. "Listen up! All the members of Fairy Tail are my comrades and friends!" Natsu yelled at the Vulcan. The Vulcan charges at Natsu and attempts to kick him, but Natsu blocks the attack. "To Gramps and Mira to those annoying jerks Gray and Elfman! Happy and Lucy are my friends, too. Which is why..." Natsu paused and gathered magic energy. Natsu kicked the Vulcan in the stomach with fire surrounding his feet. "I'm taking Macao back with me!" Using his fire magic as a boost, he launched the Vulcan into the ceiling and right next to Lucy. The Vulcan used his enormous hands to create a wave of sound the ricocheted on the fallen icicles, causing them to hit Natsu. But no effect is found on Natsu "Ice has no effect on fire!" , a cloud of ice is formed to reveal the Vulcan holding the still transformed Lucy's ax.

"Uh, oh." Natsu slightly frowns. Lucy looks pissed. "My ax!" The Vulcan then swings heavily at Natsu, using his strength to his advantage. Natsu then animatedly slips due to the ice. "Natsu! That was so not cool!" The Vulcan swings down making Natsu have to hold onto the ax with all his strength. Natsu then starts to melt the ax with his bare hands, hot enough for him to eat. "He melted my baby with his body heat?!" Lucy cried, she hoped it wouldn't leave a mark. "Aye!" Happy adds. "Now that I've eaten, I feel re-energized!" Natsu repeatedly shot rounds of melted metal at the Vulcan, effectively burning it. Natsu then prepares his next spell by surrounding his fist in flames. "Here I come! Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" The Vulcan is pushed back with enough force to send it flying into the side of the mountain, and make an explosion of snow.

Natsu, Lucy, and Happy stare at the sight of a defeated Vulcan. "You did it!" Lucy cheered, she always like watching things blow up if she wasn't going to get in trouble for it. "Wait, wasn't that ape supposed to tell us where Macao was?" Lucy questioned, realizing their lead suspect had been knocked out. "Oops! I forgot!" Lucy raised an eyebrow, he was very cheerful still. "He's completely knocked out and I never finished my fight with him because I was rudely interrupted." Lucy said as she transformed back to her original form. She glared at the pink haired male who fucked with her fight, she never liked it when her maids stopped her from fighting. Nothing made him special so she didn't see a reason to stop being pissed now.

The Vulcan suddenly started glowing, blindly the small group for a while. "W-What the... M-Macao!" Natsu shouted in complete shock. "What?! He was the perverted ape?!" Lucy yelled. "I suddenly feel very violated." Lucy said as she covered her chest, he restrained her arms and had a look of hunger. Who wouldn't feel violated?

"I was like five seconds from getting raped by a ape to find out it was human, though I think I prefer human rape then an animal raping me."

"The Vulcan must have done a Take Over on him." Happy informed. "It looks like he put up an intense fight before he was taken over." Happy observed. "Macao, don't you dare die!" Natsu yelled at the unconscious figure. "Romeo is waiting for you! Open your eyes!" Macao slowly opened his eyes. "Natsu..." "Macao!" Lucy looked between Natsu and Macao like crazy. How'd the hell he do that?! Every time I try something remotely close to that nothing happens, they just look dead.

"I'm pathetic... I defeated 19 of them... but the 20th took me over. I'm really mad at myself. Damn, I can't face Romeo now." Macao downed himself endlessly. "Don't say that! Defeating that many is impressive enough!" Natsu told him. NO FUCKING WAY! THERE WAS MORE OF THOSE PERVERTED APES?! And he took the job by himself, I like this man already.

Macao grabbed Natsu's extended hand. "Now lets go see Romeo!" Natsu cheered. Lucy smiled. Amazing, I can't even begin to compare. "Why are you smiling like that Lucy? It's creepy." Happy teased Lucy, Lucy really wanted blue mittens right about now. "Don't make me yank your whiskers, kitty." Lucy said demonically.

"Romeo!" Said boy looked up to see Natsu, Lucy, Happy, and his father. "Dad!" Romeo yelled as he literally tackled his injured father. "Dad! I'm sorry!" "I'm sorry for worrying you." Macao told Romeo. "It's okay, I'm a wizards son!" "The next time those brats try to pick on you, ask them if their dads can beat 19 monsters on their own!" Romeo nodded. Natsu, Lucy, and Happy had walked off, leaving the two to their father-son moment. "Natsu! Happy! Thank you!" Romeo shouted.

"No problem!" "Aye!" "And thank you too, Lucy!" Romeo added. Lucy turned around and waved goodbye. At least someone had a warm father that was and is there for them.

July 4th. Sunny, followed by a blizzard, then sunny again. Fairy Tail is one crazy, messed-up guild, but the people are really fun, warm-hearted, and nice. I'm still just a newcomer here, but I love this guild!

Please PM me or review. Sorry it took so long, my sister brought home this computer baby she is supposed to watch and it is really starting to piss me off to the extremes that every time I look at it I hear this dark voice in the back of my head singing. "KILL IT!" repeatedly. And I am so close to doing that, it woke me up at 4 in the morning.

Please listen to First of the Year (Equinox) by Shrillex. I am thinking about making this Lucy's theme song during battle or just period.

See you next chapter, which will hopefully be posted soon.

~Sen'ninriki says Peace
