Chapter 3.

So here's the thing. I literally got one review and that made me a little upset, plus I started getting busy with homework, life and all that jazz. So I stopped, but then I thought about the few people that did follow and favorite my story so I have a new chapter and I would like my readers to actually review this time. Nothing really juicy, but next chapter (whenever I update it) will be hopefully. Enjoy!

Normal POV.

"So…Natsu, do you just go around from place to place trying to find leads on Igneel's whereabouts, or do you actually have a, oh I don't know, life? Ya know house, job, family and all that?" Lucy asked.

"A life? Of course I have a life! And my family is Fairy Tail."

"FAIRY TAIL!?" Lucy exclaimed, "You mean that group of misfits, nobodies, and troublemakers?"

In a swift, fast motion, Natsu tackled Lucy to the round. He pinned her on her back with her arms above her head while straddling her hips. He leaned in close, their breaths intertwining. Lucy's expression was full of shock and confusion and Natsu's pure rage. "Don't you ever, ever! Insult Fairy Tail, or its members again." His eyes burning holes into her head.

"But they just cause mischief and problems for the supreme council." Lucy tried to look fierce, but truth be told, the fire in Natsu's eyes frightened her.

"Believe it or not we help people. People that are being abused and taken advantage of. Yeah maybe we cause trouble for that stupid council, but they deserve it. The way they treat less fortunate and the poor is unfair and makes me sick." Natsu's voice was strong and firm, but yet very caring.

Lucy took in every word he said. People abused and taken advantage of? Unfortunately the way Lucy runs her happy, fair kingdom isn't how the whole country is run. The supreme council, members from each region in one council, are in charge of all decisions and some, usually, aren't beneficially to the lower class. Lucy looked at him for a few seconds, then said, "Well I very well cant change my opinion, or the way I see some one without being properly introduced to them myself, now can I?"

Natsu stared back at her and with a toothy grin said, "Good. `Cause you're gonna meet them!"

She smiled. He's an odd one. That's for sure. Her smile dropped and she finally realized the position they were in. Lucy's face turned fifty shades of red. "Get off you pervert!" she yelled.

Natsu examined the situation himself and blushed. He got off, scratching his head, "Sorry about that, hehehe."

Lucy POV

After that embarrassing moment we started walking again. It was a long walk and we were both quiet. I was still thinking about what just happened; I guess maybe he was too. They way Natsu defended Fairy Tail showed he must really love it, and that made me feel bad for the things I said. I won't apologize until I meet them myself. I looked up at Natsu, he was in front of me walking straight and tall. I started fiddling with my dress, or what was left of it. My clothes had been completely disheveled after Natsu and I's fight. A whole sleeve was gone, making my rather large bust more noticeable, which I wasn't exactly happy about. My chest plate was gone. And the gloves were more like scraps. I've never shown so much skin before and it made me feel vulgar.

"We're here." Natsu said, snapping me out of my thoughts. I looked up seeing a massive, pagoda looking building. I hurried next to Natsu as we approached the doors. He opened them and smiled at me. "Well Lucy, welcome to Fairy Ta-"

"IDIOT!" A strong, yet feminine voice yelled, and the next thing I knew I was on my back with a crushing weight on top of me.

"Oops."

INSIDE FAIRY TAIL MOMENTS AGO

Normal POV

"What do you mean you ate it!?" An angry, scarlet haired beauty said.

"I didn't know it was yours, I swear! I just saw it on the bar and thought it was up for grabs. I`m sorry!" A gruff looking, but extremely scared man with piercings said, "Please, Erza, I didn't mean to!"

"You should have asked before eating it!" Erza said, cracking her gauntlet covered knuckles.

"I know, I know, if it makes you feel any better it wasn't that good." He panicked, Erza's glare increased.

"All strawberry cake is good you, you…IDIOT!" with one powerful punch he was sent flying threw the recently opened doors and onto a poor, blonde beauty.

"Ahh!" she exclaimed.

"Oops," said Erza she ran over to the girl and grabbd the man off her, lifting him high, "See! Look what you've done, Gajeel!"

"ME?!"

"Lucy are you okay?" Natsu rushed over and helped her up. This gained the attention of Erza and Gajeel.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Thank you." She said, brushing herself off.

"Good. Come on lets go inside." He said and they walked in with a confused Erza and Gajeel close behind.

Natsu POV

Great. I try to show Lucy Fairy Tail isn't bad and Gajeel gets thrown on top of her. Nice first impression guys. I look around and everything seems pretty normal, well as normal as Fairy Tail can be. A fight breaks out nest to us and I see Lucy get close to me and grab my arm. I tense up at first, but then I see her face, mesmerized and nervous at the same time. I smile, Cute.

"Ehem." I turn to see Erza looking at me. "Natsu, you're back! Ummm who's your friend?"

"Oh this is-"

"I am Lucy Michelle Heartfilia, Queen of Crocus, the Kingdom of Flowers. It is a pleasure to make your aquaintence." Lucy interrupted.

Everyone went quiet. Erza's jaw dropped and she turned pale.

"WHAT?!"

Lucy POV

After I introduced myself everyone was shocked. A short, old, balding man approached me.

"Um uh, hello your majesty, I am Makarov, the master of this guild, may I ask to what we owe the pleasure?" he said with a smile.

He seems kind. I smile and reply, "I am here with Natsu, Makarov and no need to worry I'm not part of the Supreme Council." Everyone seemed to let out a breath, or sigh in relief, "But I do not fully know what this guild is about, I've only heard rumors, most not very kind." I said,

"Well your majesty, I know how your kingdom is run and if I'm as good a judge of character as I think I am, than I believe you will like this guild," he said.

I looked at his smiling face, a little taken aback. I turned to Natsu, whom was also smiling. Everyone in the guild was smiling. I faced Makarov again and with a smile of my own said, "Yes, I believe I will as well."

"Welcome to Fairy Tail."
