Lucy wasn't sure if this was a good idea, bring a four hundred years old vampire out in broad daylight surrounded by people, but she didn't really have a choice did she. Porlyusica had came back sooner than they thought and thanks to her, Lucy's wound wasn't as bad as before which is why Porlyusica kicked them out and Lucy realised they were in the middle of the forest. It was a good thing, in a way, because she was able to get more information out of Natsu but she hated the walk.

*Flashback*

"Do you even know where we're going?!" Lucy complained after two hours of walking and not finding anything remotely normal in her opinion, the city.

"Geez stop complaining Luce. My head hurts from your whining" Natsu whined at Lucy.

"Oh I'm sorry but have you try walking in the middle of nowhere with a vampire who claims he knows the way!" Lucy retorted back.

Natsu stopped, turning to look at Lucy, who was around 10 feet away from him, and gave her a cheesy smirk,

"Actually, I have and you were with me!"

"Like seven hundred years ago!" Lucy yelled.

"I'm not that old?!" Natsu shouted back as her with disbelief "Do I look that old to ya?!"

"Well no. You look more eighteen to twenty to me," Lucy walked the rest of the way to him.

"A complaiment every person at my age would love to here!" Natsu grinned.

"No one has lived as long as you!" Lucy tried to smack his head but he grabbed her wirst with a confused look.

"Really? Not even three hundreds years?" Natsu raised a brow and she shock her head, trying to pull her hand from his grip, "Huh, humans died to easily" Natsu grumbled and released her hand.

"I'm pretty sure you were human once Natsu" Lucy huffed holding her wrist, it didn't hurt but she held it because

It felt warm.

Wasn't it supposed to feel cold from all vampires?

Now that she thinks of it...

He's never felt cold when he held her. Always warm. Abnormally warm.

"Hmm... I can't remember. Was I?" Natsu pretended he was think -as if he didn't remember he was human once- by looking up at the sky, squint eyes, with his chin between his fingers.

"Natsu, why do you feel warm?"

"What? What kind of question is that?" Natsu looked at her with a raised brow.

"Vampires are supposed to feel cold. You feel warm, like a human but your body heat is warm than ours. Like you ran a marathon on a hot day and your skin is burning" Lucy explained looking at him curiously.

"Haha! Well I'm sure you've heard some vampires stories where they have supernatural powers and so I'm able to use the element fire strong enough to slay a dragon!" Natsu explained proudly.

"A dragon?! They had those back then?!" Lucy asked with wide eyes.

'Where all fairy tales true...?'

"I was raised by one! His name's Igneel but I'll tell you about him later" Natsu waved it off but Lucy looked frozen like a certain someone and he sighed.

"Um, I was born four hundred years ago but that didn't mean that you were too" Natsu scratched he back of his head sheepishly, eyes averted.

Lucy seemed to have snapped out of it and asked, "I'm... not to sure what you mean. Didn't you say that you were born four hundred years ago and we met in my past life?"

"Well I wasn't really clear on what I said so I'll clear it up" Natsu said and raised a finger in the air, "I was born four centuries ago yes but I didn't meet you until around the late eighties - early nineties. I've heard people saying about being reincarnated usually differs in people" Natsu puzzled at his last sentence.

"Oh, I though I was born- Thank God! I had to do a project on people back then and the men's clothing are the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!" Lucy sighed happily as Natsu laughed at her then she raised a brow at him, "Wait a minute! You had to wear that type of clothings back then so why are you laughing?"

Natsu Just grinned at her, "Because I was raised by a dragon Luce! I wore a piece of cloth when I was a kid but I had to agree with you on how weird they looked, I stayed in that old thing until they came out with a new style of men's wear" he laughed.

"So you walked around mostly naked all your life?" Lucy blushed to which Natsu noticed and smirked.

"No but I have done that before" Lucy's face got an even deeper shade of red and Natsu bursted into laughter.

"N-Not funny!" she yelled.

"You're just so much fun to mess with!" he laughed as Lucy glared at him.

"Come on!" Lucy huffed and walked in the direction.

"Great! I can't wait to see how much Magnolia has change!" Natsu said with a childish gleam.

*Flashback Ends*

Lucy was able to but together some pieces of information but she's need clarification from Natsu for-

"WHAT THE HELL?! WE CAN LIVE IN A TINY ASS BOX NOW?!"

Oh yea, Lucy was walking down the streets with Natsu and were passing a electronic store with glass windows. Terrible choice. He was able to spot the T.V.'s inside on whatever they were showing and she kind of wish she explained to Natsu what a few common items were because he was making such a scene.

"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN WANT TO BE IN THERE?! Better yet, HOW CAN THE FIT IN THERE?! YOU CAN GET CLAUSTROPHOBIC IN THERE?! THERE'S A BEACH TOO?!"

"NATSU!" Lucy yelled at him and he snapped his head around, his hands pressed firmly on the glass made windows and his eyes comically very wide.

Lucy then noticed the amount of people stopping to witness the scene while whispering about them along with some laughing at him. People even started driving slower to catch what's going on, causing traffic but Natsu seemed unfazed from the attention from both inside and around the shop though. It was then that Lucy started seeing it from their point of view.

Natsu still had on his black suit and tie with a red button up shirt that still looks as old and worn out as ever plus his 'salmon' hair wasn't helping. Lucy lowered down her eyes to his feet and-

Where's his shoes?! Did he even have any on?!

"Umm, why don't we go shopping? I know a store that'll have clothes that'll suit you perfectly" she smiled nervously.

Natsu blinked at her then smiled his, what looks like, brightest grinned ever, that made her heart leap and face flushed. She's pretty sure others were feeling the same as well by all the sighs and whatever going on.

"Sure Luce! Lead the way!" Natsu agreed and made his way to stand right next to her, still smiling away.

"By the way," Natsu leaned into whisper in her ear, "I have no idea what's going on!"

Lucy just had to laugh at him-not sure if that got her glares from other females or not but who cares- for being the most dense person she has ever met and that said a lot.

"You're such a clueless puppy!" she bursted out, lending the way.

"What does that mean?!" Natsu yelled at her as he caught up.

*Honk Honk!*

"FUCK!" Natsu yelled as the loudest trunk horn blew and scared the crap out of him. Not really.

Even Lucy and surrounding citizens and jumped and covered their ears unlike Natsu who was in a fighting stance and she swear she saw a spark of red and orange light flickered by his hands.

If Natsu did indeed use fire, she didn't want him to use it out here and blow his cover- if he was even using one- so she grabbed his hand and started running from the scene.

"Lucy!" Natsu called shock of her sudden movement.

"It's this way! Just keep running!" she told him, not even looking back around.

And so!

"How... how are you... not panting?" Lucy was bented over, trying to catch her breath while Natsu stood there like no bize.

"You've never been good at phyiscal actvitives, have ya?" Natsu asked as he looked around. It was much more quieter here.

Less people were around mostly because it was late afternoon now. Lucy had explained briefly while running that the thing that made noise was a type of car, which lend to explaining that a car was a type of vehicle and that a vehicle was like an horseless carriage which lend to Natsu's face turning green as he explained carriages and his stomach didn't agree one bit.

"Shut up" Lucy hissed standing up straight again and open the door to the air-condition clothes store from them to enter.

"Wow..." Natsu breathed out as he looked at the shirts, pants, shoes and such all over the walls, hangers and tables around the room.

"See something you like?" Lucy asked as she fished from her wallet in her skirt's pocket.

"I don't know the style of your time so I've got no clue. Also why is it cold in here? Does Snowcone working here or something?" Natsu asked walking off as Lucy looked at him weirdly.

"Snowcone?"

"Yea, Snowcone. You don't remember him? That sucks! He was fun to set on fire" Natsu laughed.

"What?!" Lucy's knew she was with a vampire but not a pyromaniac vampire who's hobby was probably setting everything aflames. Now she has to worry about burning to death and getting her blood sucked out. Oh Nice...!

"I'll tell ya all about him later" he said absentmindedly as he picked up a bra and turned to look a Lucy, "They even modernizes the bras too?!"

"Natsu?! Put that down?!" Lucy blush as she snatched it away from him and put it back then pushed him away from the piece of clothing as the little people in the shop look at them as if they were mad.

"But isn't it normal to have seen a bra before? Besides, if they didn't want people to see it then why hang it all over the place?" Natsu grumbled at the weirdness of this world.

"There to sell! Haven't you been a store before?!" Lucy yelled still flush while she continue to push him to the male section.

"They never mixed malesi clothing with females'? Why do they do that now anyway?" Natsu raised a brow.

"Why are you so old~?!" Lucy cried.

"Why are people talking to boxes and wearing short ass clothing like you?!" Natsu retorted back.

"My clothes are fine! Your's, on the other hand, makes you look like a homeless person but I'm guess a homeless person won't have dyed their hair pink, now would they!"

"It's SALMON and why would I want to kill my hair?!"

"God help me!"

And so!

"I don't know about this Luce..." Natsu's voice rang from behind a changing stall.

"I'm sure it's fine. Come on out and let me see" Lucy said from her seat on a wooden bench that was placed outside the stalls.

She was going through her phone, telling everyone that noticed her disappearance that she was alright and she's explain later. 'Explain later.' How about 'Never'?

"I look funny..." Natsu grumbled as he stepped out from the stall in a pair of dark blue bleached jeans, plain red shirt that was, in Lucy's opinion, a little to small from him as it showed his muscles. His shirt was paired with a black leather jacket -not like he'll need it but just so he can look relatively normal when it's cold- and red and black Nike.

Lucy blushed at him and although he was wearing a sour face, he was, dear she say it, hot, in those completely normal clothings.

"What?" Natsu asked watching her stared at him for what seemed like forever.

"Um, you like great!" she said a little to loudly.

"I feel weird..." Natsu pulled on his shirt with a pout.

"It'll take a while to get use to. I'm sure it must feel weird coming out of the 'old times' clothings" she smiled sympathetically.

"I would say the same for you if you weren't reborn" he pouted at her with a stubborn look on his face.

"Yea yea" Lucy sighed then got up, "Hey, you never told me how your body stays warm when it should be cold"

Natsu blinked at her then looked around them and back to her again with a raised brow.

"It's okay their's no one or cameras around" she insured and Natsu made a funny face.

"Don't tell me you don't know what that is" Lucy groan.

"Uh no, I just forgot. I've heard the name before" he responded.

"Oh, well that's good. Um let me see here..." Lucy raised her phone again and pulled up the internet.

Natsu, being a curious vampire, went besides her to get a view of what she was doing.

"What the hay is that?" Natsu raised a brow which happened to be what Lucy did from his choice of word 'hay.' Probably right for the moment kind of thing.

"I'm searching the internet for what year cameras were invented" Lucy said and before Natsu could asked what that was, Lucy answered, "The internet is this magical place where literally everything is" Lucy smirked then looked up to see Natsu's very confused face, "I don't really know what the internet is but I'll ask my friend. She's sure to know alright" Lucy smiled at him to which he nodded to.

Looking back down at her phone, she read out loud the information they had,

Who invented camera? Johann Zahn designed the first camera in 1685. But the first photograph was clicked by Joseph Nicephore Niepce in the year 1814. It was thousands of years back that an Iraqi scientist Ibn- al- Haytham made a mention of this kind of a device in his book, Book of Optics in 1021

Natsu looked at her in awe but Lucy typed something else instead to find the information some other information. She then read out loud,

Covert surveillance was made possible, because for the first time in history, a camera could be used without drawing any attention. 1942: Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) is first used in Germany. German scientists developed the technology so that they could monitor the launch of V2 rockets.

"What would that have to do with anything?" Natsu raised a brow.

"It means" Lucy started, "That the cameras I was talking about 'Security Cameras' was invented in 1942" she explained then her face soften.

"When did I die?"

Natsu looked at her shock but that shock was quickly replaced with pain.

"It's okay, you don't have to tell me" she smiled.

"Sorry..." He looked away.

"Don't be" Lucy shock her head then clapped her hands together, "Now that I know your style in our clothings, let's get some more clothes alright!"

Lucy picked up some random clothes that she thought will suit Natsu in his size as he helped her hold them -more like he holded them all- as he followed her.

And so!

"Oh! This is cute!" Lucy beamed as she saw a sleeveless, blue and white shirt in the girls' section.

How she saw it from the guys section, we'll never know.

"Don't you have enough clothes back at your place?" Natsu raised a brow at her now holding bags of clothings, shoes and underwear. Can't forget the dude's gotta have those and they're trunks to be exact.

"No way! I got to stay in the time!" Lucy gleamed as she picked it up and held it in front of her, "And you should tried and keep up" she smirked at the now scowling vampire.

As she examined the shirt, she looked down at her clothes to see then dirty and disgusting.

"Give me a sec" Lucy said as she picked up a blue skirt to match.

Natsu groaned as he sat on one of the couches, resting the bags down, while she ran away doing her thing. He rested his head on the back of the couch and closed his eyes from the light over head.

"Natsu"

A grunt sound was heard.

"What are we going to do now?" asked a worried feminine voice

"Not sure" Natsu breathed out as he healed his wound on his left side, "But I promise, I won't let them get you."

"I know you won't, Na-"

"-tus. Natsu?" Lucy called waking up the sleeping vampire.

"Hm?" Natsu opened his eyes which landed apon Lucy looking at him sweetly.

"You must be really tired to have fallen asleep so quickly" she smiled at him now wearing her new clothings along with new brown knee high boots and a brown belt holding up her skirt.

"I guess" Natsu got up and streched a little.

"Why don't we get going? I think we're good for now" she suggested.

Natsu nodded and picked up the bags again. Lucy lead the way out the store and down the streets. She wanted to asked Natsu what he was dreaming about because one, his face was twitching as slept and two, he's been silent all the way to Lucy's. He didn't even comment on anything as he kept his head down with a blank look on his face, like he was in a different place.

She can't blame him. He is from another time completely but with his silentness, it left Lucy with enough time to process thing.

Natsu was a vampire from four hundred years, so in the sixties from her calculations and from the looks of it, he didn't act like the people from then. Actually, he acts a lot like the males in this time. Maybe because he was put asleep almost a century ago. Maybe. She still doesn't know when she died and when she had left him alone after death, that was when his slumber had begun.

Lucy still didn't know much about her old self other than the fact, she was a 'sorcerer of the stars' as Natsu had put it and his closest friend. How close? She didn't know. Must be really close as her old self had connected Natsu and her to find each other in every lifetime. Another question that keep playing on her mind was,

How'd she die?

Lucy didn't really want to bring it up but she had to know. Not right now though. They both had a long day and the sun was going to set soon.

Lucy opened her house's door and walked in letting Natsu follow after with an awe look on his face.

"This is where you live? Cool! Aww, I wish they had stuff like this back in my time! OH! You have one of those boxes that with people in it too?! Cool!"

Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnndd

He's back!

Lucy couldn't help but smile as she closed and locked her door unaware of the man in her house had watched her do it, memorizing what she had did for later use.

"Glad you like it here" Lucy said as she collapsed on the couch where Natsu left the bags on the floor and was poking around the tv.

"Hey Luce, why's it all black now?" Natsu asked her still poking the tv.

Lucy reached for the remote on the wooden table in front of the couch and turned it on.

"WHAT THE-!"

*Crash!*

Natsu had thrown down sa box of dvds she had out and hit his head on the egde of coffee table.

"IT JUST CAME ON!" Natsu yelled as he stared at the thing in shock as he rubbed the back of his head.

Lucy should have been worried about him hitting his head that loud but she just laughed her heart out.

"God Natsu!" she weezed out with tears in her eyes.

Natsu looked at her with a pout before grinning and laughing along.

"Okay, okay" Lucy breathed out as she caught her breath, face blush from laughing so hard, "I feel bad so I'll start talking. That box is called a flat screen television, T.V. for short. There are many types of T.V.s but flat screens are the newest ones and the most used now or at least here."

"Ah! T.V.! But what do it do?" Natsu asked as he got up from the floor to sit besides her as she moved to a proper position.

"It gives you enternament. Like shakespare back in the day but different, more morden" Lucy said.

"Aahhh... I'm still confused" Natsu whined.

"Just think of it as seeing people's lives before your eyes" she said.

"Okay then what does that have to do with people lives?" Natsu pointed at a commercial for Subway.

"It's doesn't. It's a commercial, you can advertise things you're selling like this and such" she said but by the look on his face, it was having trouble going through.

"Um, you can also go to the bathroom whenever commercials are on or grab something to eat or drink" Lucy slapped her mouth shut with her hand, realising that she used the words 'eat' and 'drink' in front of a vampire.

Natsu groaned, "God Luce. You don't have to do that. I had that bastard's blood remember? Although it's one of the most disgusting blood I've ever tasted and I rather die than drink it again, it'll keep me full for a while" Natsu leaned back into her couch.

"Sorry" Lucy appoulgizes.

"You should probably get something to eat. I know you're very hungry so I'll stay here and watch people's lives, okay?" Natsu offered.

"You sure?" Lucy asked unsure.

"If you don't start treating me like a modern human from your time, people are going to become suspicious~" Natsu sang with a grin.

Lucy sighed in defeat, "Fine but don't touch anything! Got it?"

"Yea yea now go! Before your stomach eats you alive!" Natsu laughed and just as she was going to asked what he was talking about, her stomach growled.

Loudly.

Which only made Natsu collapsed in laughter.

Lucy hit him in the head, making him whine from where he had it his head on the table but covered it by laughing even harder as she got up and went into her kitchen. After collecting himself, Natsu was actually curious about what it might look like in a modern kitchen but a 'ding-dong' sound rang out and made him jump. He looked at the door for a few seconds before it rang again with a knock on the wooden barrier.

It didn't seem Lucy noticed it or just ignoring it but he, again, being a vampire from four hundred years ago, was curious about everything so he got up and went to the door.

Lucy had left her house's key in the socket so all Natsu had to do was turn it, then turned the door knob and-

"Well Ice Pick's still as droopy eyes as ever!"

Hope you guys enjoyed. Soon I'll be leaving a goal for you guys to achieve and if you accomplish it, I'll give you a bonus or sneak peak in the story!

Keep Smiling!
