Natsu glanced around as he crawled into Lucy's dark apartment. He sneakily walked over to dresser but soon felt foolish after realizing that Lucy wasn't there to kick him out. He sighed and picked up one of Lucy's shirt. His heart ached and his eye brows knitted together.
Lucy…
"Natsu! We need to go." Called Happy from the window.
Natsu nodded and slid the shirt into his bag. He needed to take something of Lucy's with him so he wouldn't forget the scent. He probably wouldn't forget the sweet scent of his pretty teammate, but he just wanted to be safe.
Happy lifted Natsu up by and they flew off into the sky, following the young dragon slayers directions.
It's been hours and Natsu and Happy had been flying and walking non-stop. Right now, they were sitting around a fire that Natsu created, roasting a fish when they heard a crunch from a bush. Natsu immediately rose and got in a defensive position, ready to take on any enemy he dared to get in the way. Two people emerged from the darkness. One had blue hair and was staring lovingly at the person next to her whom wasn't wearing a shirt.
Natsu relaxed slightly and glared at Gray. "What are you doing here, blockhead?"
Gray glared at him. "Lluiva and I just got done with our mission. What about you, dragon breathe?"
Natsu's face became dark. "I have to find Lucy."
"She get lost or something? Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her around the guild lately." Gray commented.
Happy answered this time. "Lucy's missing."
The Ice and water mage's eye widened. "W-What?"
"She only supposed to be gone a couple of days, but it's been 3 weeks."
The pair was silent for a moment, taking in the new information. The Lluvia broke the silence. "Lluvia is going to help find Lucy."
Natsu looked at her. "You don't need to. I'm perfectly able to find her on my own."
"Lluiva doesn't care. Lucy is her friend. If she's in trouble, Lluvia will help!" exclaimed Lluvia, with a determined look on her face.
"Me too."
Natsu blew fire out of his nose. "Fine. Just don't get in my way, snowflake."
"What'd you say, Bastard?"
Natsu was about make a comeback when Happy tugged on his pants leg. "We need to hurry and find Lucy."
Natsu nodded and sniffed the air. He could smell the scents of Happy, Gray, Lluvia. The musky scent of the forest surrounding them. And the smell of a very faint fragrance of Vanilla that only Lucy wore.
"Follow me." He said grabbing his things and walking up the path. Gray huffed and followed but stopped Lluvia called out to him.
"Gray-sama! Your clothes!" She said, blushing.
Gray looked down and noticed he wasn't wearing anything." Gah! When did this happen?"
A flustered Lluvia threw him a wad of fabric. Gray quickly slipped his clothes and went up the path after Natsu with Lluvia right behind him.
After a few quarrels between Natsu and Gray, and a few complaints from Happy about wanting some fish, Natsu's nose head lead them to a waterfall.
"I think your nose is out of whack, cause I do not see Lucy anywhere." Insulted Gray.
"My nose is perfectly fine. Lucy was here at some point."
"Well she isn't now. So let's move on."
"Wait!" Everyone turned to Lluvia who was looking at something at the edge that lead of the cliff and into the waters below. She lifted something that was gold and silver. It jingled as she held it up the light. Natsu's eyes widened.
Lucy's keys…
