Chapter 12: I LOVE HER!

Italics mean Thoughts or Flashback

Bold means Letters to Mom, Shouga, or Team Natsu

(Back at Fairy Tail: Natsu's P.O.V)

"Let's go! I wanna see Lucy! I NEED TO FIND HER AND APOLOGIZE FOR OUR ACTIONS! PLUS I FIGURED OUT MY TRUE FEELINGS FOR HER!" I cried out to Gray and Erza.

"Natsu, I also agree with your decision, so we will help you and try to convince her to come back to Fairy Tail." Erza had replied back to me.

"I'm also in…I feel guilty about abandoning Lucy just like that…so let's get go, Flamebrain!" Gray answered to me.

Now I feel angry and pissed at this exhibitionist and countered back with, "Bring it on, Ice Princess!"

"HOT TAMALE!"

"SNOW CONE!"

"WALKING VOLCANO!"

"MOUNT EVEREST!"

"SQUINTY EYES!"

"DROOPY EYES!"

"STOP IT!" Erza screamed at the top of her lungs at both Gray and me. We both immediately stop fighting and wrap our arms around one another with a fake smile our faces.

"A-AYE!" We both say to the famous Titania who now has an exhausted yet disappointed face at the same time.

As soon as Erza was calmer, me and Gray finally got rid of one another and continued from where we had last left off.

With that over and done with I heard underpants say, "Soooo…where do we start off with?"

"Tchh, that is soooo simple you ice freak, all we have to do is sniff her out, DUURRRR!" I said obviously to him.

"Well how was I suppose to know that asshole?!" Gray yelled with anger in his voice.

"You of all people should have known or thought of sniffing her out, stripper." I said annoyed at his 'idiocy.'

"Excuuuuuse me for not having a monstrous freak nose like you!" Gray had then counted sarcastically.

"DO I SERIOUSLY HEAR ANOTHER FIGHT WHEN WE'RE TRYING TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO FIND LUCY!" Erza then scolded us again.

We then shut up until Erza then said, "Good, so start trying to find her scent now Nat-"

"ENNNOUUUUGHHHH!" A voice boomed throughout the entire guild leaving us frozen in place for a while until we turned around and saw a figure on the second floor railing.

It was Gramps…there was an expression on his face that seemed quite odd to me…I mean it was always stern and dignified however, I sensed a tinge of fear in him.

"Team Natsu…please report to my office right now." Gramps said as he jumped off the railing and back into his office on the second floor.

Gray and Erza both stared at me, and after giving nods of exchangement, the 3 of us made our way upstairs and into the office. When we entered we noticed that Gramps was sitting on top of his desk looking at us with a stern look.

"Hmmm…just the 3 of you? Where is Happy right now?" Gramps asked us.

"Um, he is on a mission with Wendy and Charle right now, so why did you call us up here?" I questioned him with confusion while also shuddering at the thought of Wendy.

"It is because of your conversation that you guys just had regarding Lucy. You want to bring her back here to Fairy Tail?"

"Of course, she is our most precious nakama!" Gray said while advancing more towards Gramps until Erza held out an arm to stop him.

"Master, you should understand that we were BRAINWASHED by Lisanna to get rid of Lucy!" Erza said while still trying to hold back Gray.

"Yes I understand the situation and Lisanna will be punished for her actions…and have you ever considered that Lucy may not WANT to come back or she'll even hurt you again after what you guys did to her! You may not know but on the day she left she said, 'Oh yeah, if ANY have the guts to try and follow me, tell them that I will ersonally rip their throats out and beat them to a living pulp.' So you may listen or ignore my advice but please try to keep a distance from her…she'll come back when the time feels right." Gramps then said to us 3 mages.

This seemed to calm down Gray and Erza however I kept hearing, 'Keep your distance from her,' over and over in my head.

I finally snapped and screamed out, "NO WAY IN HELL GRAMPS, LUCY IS JUST TOO DAMN VALUABLE TO LOSE! I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR ADVICE BUT BELIEVE ME…I'LL GIVE OUT MY FEELINGS TO LUCY BECAUSE I LOVE HER!"

With that, I ran out of the office and the guild to try and track down that wonderful strawberry and vanilla scent of Lucy's. Gray and Erza are trying their best to catch up with me though but I KNOW that I will find her and bring her back to Fairy Tail, we are meant for each other…right?
