AN: Here comes the second chapter. This chapter is about Gajeel and Levy's first encounter and Natsu and Lucy's first encounter. Enjoy!

Levy's POV

Why can't my car starts?

No matter how much I tried and turned my keys, it just won't start. Dang it, and today's the day where Lu-chan needs my help to move her things to her new apartment!

I come down from my car and sigh in frustration. Then I try to call the mechanic to come and take a look, but he is out of town.

"Why all this always happen to me!"

"Hey, you alright?"

The owner of the voice sounds a bit rough. I look at him and try my best not to stare into his red eyes. "Erm, my car won't start."

"Okay, hold on. I will check for you. Don't worry. I'm a mechanic, so I know what I'm doing." He reassures me and open up the hood. After inspecting the wire, he charges my car battery with his iron dragon looking jeep and voila! My car finally starts!

Well, looks like this guy is not half bad.

"Thank you so much! How can I repay you?" He looks at me with a slightly surprised face and smiles back to me, "Don't worry, I'm glad that I can help."

"Then, do you want a cup of coffee? I got an extra cup here." I shove the coffee to him. He raises an eyebrow and laughs, "Gihi, so you always buy an extra cup of coffee or something?"

"H-hey!"

"Nah, just kidding. I was teasing you, shrimp." This guy is unbelievable! First, he helps me and now he teases me? And I was thinking that he was a good guy too!

"Shrimp?! Hey, you got some nerve picking with me! Well, whatever! I'm going!"

I finally reach Lu-chan's place and parks my car. Then with an annoyed look, I ring her doorbell, "Lu-chan, I'm here!"

"Coming, Levy-chan!"

"Hey, you look like someone puts a cockroach in your morning coffee."

"Lu-chan, can you believe it? I just met an asshole just now!"

"Oh my, did something bad happen to you?"

"Well, listen. My car cannot start just now. So while I was panicking, a guy that has lots of strange piercing and a pair of red eyes approached me and helped me. Then, after I try to thank him by offering him a cup of coffee that I bought earlier, he just teased me and called me a shrimp! How dare him!"

"Woah, Levy-chan, cool down! Maybe he's just trying to be friendly. But why he called you a shrimp? Do you even look like a shrimp?" She looks at me from my head to toe and chuckles. "I guess he was half correct."

"Hey!"

"Okay, stop pouting. Come, let's have some breakfast before we head out to my new place, alright?"

"Sure. I'm starving."

-timeskip-

Settling the last box in her room, we look around and sighs. Then Lu-chan sits on her newly delivered couch and shouts, "Now, finally! A new place that looks decent!"

"And most importantly, now we are neighbors!"

"We can hang out more often right now. So, Levy-chan, what should we do as neighbors on the first day?"

"Oh, come! I'll introduce you to all the other folks living here, they are a lively bunch I can tell you!"

We walk to the first house at the corner and Lu-chan knocks on it. Then, the door opens, revealing a pajamas wearing red haired girl. "Who- Oh, Levy, it's you."

"Erza, this is our new neighbor, Lucy. Lucy, this is Erza, she is the owner of Scarlet Bakery."

"Wow, I love the cakes there! Do you bake them yourself?"

She smiles and nods with enthusiasm, "Yes. Because I love strawberry cake. Anyway, nice to meet you, Lucy."

Then we continue on to knock on another neighbor's door. This time a blue haired girl opened the door and glares. Levy clears her throat nervously and breaks the silence, "This is Juvia. Juvia, this is Lucy, our new neighbor."

Her glaring stops and she flashes a huge smile, "Juvia's sorry! Juvia's thoughts were on my classes."

"Classes? Are you a teacher?"

"Juvia here is actually a coach specialist in swimming."

Lu-chan faces me and gasps, "Wow!"

"Juvia is not that good actually but thanks for complimenting Juvia."

The next house is Doranbolt's house. But after ringing his doorbell for several times, he didn't answer. Well, I guess he is out.

"This here is the infamous lawyer Doranbolt's house, who always take cases for celebrities and famous people. I guess he is out for work."

Lu-chan nods and before we can do anything, someone passes through us and runs to the house right beside Lu-chan's. Then I recognized that guy. He is the CEO of Alvarez Corp, Zeref Dragneel. No doubt he comes to Natsu's house to pester him again.

"Natsu-chan, I brought your favourite food!"

"Levy-chan, who's that?"

"He's Zeref. Visiting his younger brother's house, Natsu."

The man turns to us when he heard his name mentioned and waves at us, "Hi ladies. Who's this cute blonde, Levy?"

"Oh, I'm Lucy. The new owner of this house." she points to her house and Zeref smiles, "Nice to see you. I'm Zeref. And if my brother ever gives you any problem, just call me." He grins at Lu-chan and I laugh.

Lucy's POV

I just laugh alongside with Levy nervously. Then after some moment the door that Zeref is in front of opens and reveals a pink haired guy. He has a toothbrush stuck inside his mouth and oh my he is topless. I try my best not to ogle at his abs.

"O-nnni-chhann, what did you bring?" the cutie eyes the bag that his brother is holding. He shoves it to him and says, "Just fire chicken and fire whiskey."

"Woah! Today's a great day to be able to eat my favorites!" then he realizes our existence and grins, "Yo, Levy! Rare to see you without a book!"

"Natsu!"

Then he laughs loud and turns to look at me. His laugh disappears and he starts to stare at me like a person who just saw a god in the flesh or something. I gulp hard and make a small wave and greet him, "Hi, I'm Lucy, your new neighbor."

My voice must have break his blank stare he gave me and he grins, "Yo, Luce! I'm Natsu!"

"Anyway, how rude of me to let you all standing outside, come inside and have a sit!"

"Since when my little brother knows about manners?"

"Hey!"

I laugh at their childish bickering and invite myself in his house. The interior of the apartment is the same as mine, the coach is in a bright red color. I sit on it with Levy sitting beside me. Zeref just sits on the floor and unwraps the contents of the food that he brought on the coffee table and shouts, "Natsu, faster before it gets cold!"

"Coming!"

He comes out from his room, fully dressed in a simple t shirt and jeans, then proceeds to sit down beside his brother and stuffs himself with the food on the coffee table. "MMmmm"

"Talk when you're not eating, Natsu."

"So, how old are you Luce?"

"Luce?" Levy-chan just laughs at the nickname Natsu calls me and I blush. Zeref then stood up and in no time at the door, "Natsu, I'll come over and check on you later!"

The door closed and Natsu leaps from his place and sits beside me. His face leans close to mine, making me shudder. "Erm, Natsu?"

"Why do you look familiar?"

"Erm, maybe cause you saw her in a magazine before? Lu-chan here models for Weekly Sorcerer before. She is now an author."

"What?! I love that magazine! They always feature things about how to make fire burn in different colors and temperature and even talk about dragons!"

"Natsu, dragons does not exist."

"But how else they can write that realistic about their features and personality? I love the fire dragon, Igneel that they wrote about the most!"

"Erm, Natsu? Are you sure you are born in this world?"

"Lu-chan, when it comes to fire and dragons, you cannot stop Natsu from rambling about it."

Natsu continues talking non stop about how he wish he could use fire magic in this science technology world and while he was talking, Levy looks at her watch and gasps, "Ah!"

"Levy-chan, what's wrong?"

"I'm going to be late for work! The library is going to be opened in a hour and I haven't reach there to prepare!"

"Oh, it's this time already? I'm going to be late for my shift at the fire station!"

They both start to scramble around and Levy just wave a short goodbye to me before she rushes back to her place. Natsu, without even considering that I'm still in his house, straight away strips in front of me.

"Eeek! What do you think you are doing, stripping right in front of me?"

"What? I was just preparing for work, you weirdo!"

"You are the weirdo here!"

Ignoring my own heavily blushed face, I just stomp out from his house and slam his door hard. Calming my racing heart, I went back to my own place, letting out a sigh.

"I should continue my novel before the publishers pester me about my deadline."
