Lucy

Fides [Faith] - VI

"He wasn't the Natsu I knew, and I wasn't the Lucy he remembered."

Well, this was awkward. I found who I was looking for, but not where I wanted him, so to speak. He wasn't the Natsu I knew, and I wasn't the Lucy he remembered. I couldn't just erase my feelings for him, and I felt that maybe if I suppressed them, I wouldn't feel as bad as I did, but I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to be close with him again. I didn't know Fiore very well, so I decided to walk around to accustom myself to the area. As I walked through a park like area, out of effing nowhere, Salamander appeared.

"Why hello there" he said. Holy crap, he scared to the wizard out of me.

"What do you want?" I asked. I don't particularly trust him, so I was very weary of him.

"I came to personally invite you to a party I'm having on my yacht." He said. The way he talked sounded so gross, I shivered.

"Look, I know your tricks, your spell magic and all, you're not fooling me. And besides I have better things to be doing anyway." I said, turning around to leave.

"Like what?" he asked curiously.

"Well if you must know, I plan on joining one of the strongest guilds around, Fairy Tail." I felt so proud of myself for some reason, but Fairy Tail's a big deal to me.

He laughed, and when I say laugh, I mean laughed."Fairy Tail, as in THE Fairy Tail?" he couldn't stop laughing. I didn't see how this was funny. I was totally serious about joining. "You should've said so. I happen to be a member of that guild. If you come to the party tonight, I can easily get you in." My eyes lit up.

"Really? You could do that?" I asked.

"Why of course, but you have to make sure you're at the party." He responded

"Alright I will, I will!" With that he used his magic to fly away. I felt so excited, but then after a few seconds, some of the excitement drained. I had been charmed AGAIN. What a smooth talker. That didn't matter though. If going to that party would fulfill my dream of entering Fairy Tail, I was going. The only question on my mind was, what was I going to wear tonight?

Night can come very slowly when you're not doing anything to pass the time. The only interesting thing I did today was to buy an apartment. I didn't really know anyone around here, so I just stayed cooped up in my room, until night. I got dressed in something nice, and was about to step out, but something told me not to leave my keys behind. The key Natsu gave me was always around my neck, so I didn't have to worry about that one. I still haven't made a contract with whatever this spirit was, let alone ever seen it. I wonder where Natsu even got this from. I headed for the docks, lost my own little train of thought.

Natsu

"I knew her, but I didn't."

A whole day of searching can be pretty tiring, especially since I didn't even find Igneel. The only interesting thing that happened to me was that I met a girl named Lucy. But honestly, I don't feel as if this is our first encounter. I have no memory of her, but her smell was so familiar, so enticing. I knew her, but I didn't. This was pretty complicated. Maybe if I saw her again, I'd remember.

"Oi happy." I shouted to my partner.

"What is it Natsu?" he asked.

"Let's go, we've got to go find someone." I said

"Who would that be?" he asked curiously.

I smiled. "Lucy."

Lucy

"It was the fact that he came for me."

Never been on such a boat before, especially being around this many people. Usually when I was at parties, I served at them. But now, I could enjoy myself.

"Hey you there." I recognized that voice. It was Salamander. "Welcome to my yacht."

"Thanks for having me." How else was I supposed to respond?

"Please this way." he directed me to a chair to sit, and he sat right across from me. There was a drink on the table. I wasn't thirsty, so I wondered if it was him*. "This wine is an imported luxury, surely you'll open wide and try some." He used his magic to make it hover towards my mouth. I opened my mouth, but then quickly coming to my senses, I swatted it away.

"Nice try, you almost had me there. That sleep spell ain't gonna work." I said.

"I thought it would be easier than this. Guess I was wrong." he responded

"Yeah okay, I'm getting out of here." As I turned around, there were men blocking my way.

"You're not going anywhere." Salamander said. I was trapped. I took out my keys, but before I could summon anything, they were snatched out of my hands. "You won't be needing these." With that Salamander through them into the water. What was I supposed to do now? Who could help me? Natsu? Would he? Could he? It was my last resort.

"NATSU HELP ME!" I shouted. Nothing.

"Haha no one can hear you-"

All of a sudden the roof of the boat broke, and in the rubble there he was.

"You called?" Natsu asked.

I couldn't believe it, he actually came. And it wasn't just that he came that made me happy. It was the fact that he came for me.
