I have break this week, but I type really slow. :\

Thank you for the name of a city. Much appreciated.

I may have also forgot to mention that the story takes place in X793, not x791. Sorry.

So. Here we are, chapter 4. I always have so much stuff to say to you guys, but when I sit at my computer I forget all of them. :P

Enough with my boring stuff, on with the story.

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairytail. Does anyone know if I have to say disclaimer all the time?

Tiger and a Strange Smell

(Normal POV)

"Look." Lucy gestured towards Dysis who was staring at Natsu. She looked like she just seen a ghost.

Natsu looked at Dysis, and for the first time, he saw her. He looked at her face, the sharp features, the red lips, and the eyes that looked exactly like his and were staring back at him. The only difference was that while Natsu's held determination and joy, Dysis' held determination and sadness. And her irises were slightly larger but that's not the point.

He was speechless for a moment. "WHAT THE F*CK?!" WHY DOES SHE HAVE THE SAME EYES AT ME? WHY DO YOU HAVE THE SAME EYES AS ME?"

Dysis was still staring at Natsu. She opened her mouth, then closed it and opened it again. "I-I-I don't know."

She let her guard down just now and soon, Wendy and Gajeel walked over sniffing.

"Something smells weird," Gajeel said.

"Yes," Wendy agreed smelling a little more. She frowned a little confused. "It smells like Natsu and Oranges and lemons and Erza, but only a forth of each."

Natsu stopped yelling and started sniffing. "I only smell the oranges, lemons, and Erza."

"No shit Sherlock. You can't smell yourself." Gajeel said getting in Natsu's face. {I have no idea if that's true of not, but go with me on this please}

"Watcha say to me Metal mouth?" Natsu went up into Gajeel's face forgetting the strange smell for a second.

"Natsu -san, Gajeel -san, please don't fight."

The two dragon-slayers looked over at the little air dragon-slayer and both sighed. "Fine Wendy, we won't fight?" Gajeel said. Natsu looked like he wanted to fight, but got distracted by the smell again. Or rather the lack of it.

"Wendy, Gajeel, do you guys smell the scent? I lost it." Both Wendy and Gajeel started sniffing vigorously and both shook their heads.

"I lost it too."

"I wonder what it was? Miss Lucy, can you open up Crux and help us fine out what it was?" Wendy politely asked Lucy.

"Oh, sure Wendy." She pulled out her key and was about to open the gate.

"No need Bunny Girl, I figured it out." Everyone at the table; Lucy, Natsu, and Wendy looked at him in shock. Gajeel, figure something out? Well, it's possible, just extremely unlikely. Dysis looked at him curiously.

"It's her." Gajeel stood up and pointed at Dysis who looked a little surprised.

"Care to explain?" Erza asked coming over along with Gray, Levy, and Juvia who was hiding behind a pillar following Gray.

"Uhh…sure." Gajeel looked over at Levy who smiled encouragingly at him. "Well, you see, since I was the only dragon-slayer here when Dysis entered since you guys were on a mission and Laxus just left, I should have smelled something. But shrimp here, showed me a musty old book about metals, and at first I thought it was the musty smell clogging up my nose. "Levy blushed as Gajeel mentioned her name and Lucy smirked at her. "Then later when Loke pinn- um, Loke and hawk girl here were uh, wrestling, I didn't smell anything either except the guild's anticipation."

"Hawk girl? Really?" Dysis glared at Gajeel, and would have punched him too, but she was tired.

"Yes, hawk girl. Is there a problem?"

"Ye-," Erza slapped her hand over Dysis' mouth and gave her a warning look. Dysis shut up and didn't even try to bite Erza's fingers which were metal.

"Continue." Erza said intrigued.

"Well, as I was saying, I didn't smell anything. I thought it was weird, but I thought that hawk girl left after seeing Erza beat up Loke, so I didn't bother. Then just now, I smelled something new, and I followed it finding Bunny girl, Salamander, Wendy {I don't know what Gajeel calls her, and hawk girl here. I knew what bunny girl, salamander, and Wendy smelled like, so the only reasonable explanation would be that the smell was hawk girl. Then Salamander had to be a retard and got me distracted."

"Watcha say metal mouth?" Natsu stood up.

"Natsu, sit down and be quiet." Erza said, with one hand still over Dysis' mind, but her tone was warning.

"Yes sir, I mean maam." Natsu quickly sat back down, and Gajeel finished explaining.

"Anymore interruptions? No, good. So as I was saying, before I was rudely interrupted by Salamander," At this point, Natsu was about to protest, but stopped when Erza slapped her other hand over Natsu's mouth. She was now sitting between Dysis and Natsu with one hand on both. "the smell must have been hawk girls, and as it wasn't here earlier, the only reasonable explanation was that she was hiding her scent."

Everyone stared at Gajeel in awe that he figured something out. Levy was smiling proudly. Gajeel smiled smugly at their reactions.

"But then, Gajeel-san, why would Dysis-san smell a bit like Natsu and Erza then?" Wendy asked.

The group was stumped. They sat at the table voicing ideas, while Dysis and Natsu tried to leave. Well, Dysis wanted to leave, Natsu looked like he wanted to say something.

The Lucy remembered Crux's key in her hand. "Open gate of the Southern Cross, Crux." Crux appeared next to Lucy.

"How may I help you find something Miss Lucy?" He asked levitating.

"Yes, I would like you to find out why someone might smell like fractions of someone else please."

"Certainly." Crux fell asleep while the rest of the gang stared at him.

Lucy turned back to her friends. "He might sleep for a while, so don't mind him." The rest of the group were all looking at Crux, Dysis more than the other as a sort of worshipping eyes appeared on her face when she saw Crux.

"Umm… Dysis are you okay?" Lucy asked a little worried.

She tried to say she was fine but Erza's hand was in the way so it came out sounding like "Umph phianme." Erza, remove her hand from Dysis, but kept it on Natsu in case he said something stupid. As usual.

"I'm fine Lucy."

"Are you sure, because you look like you worship Crux or something."

"Something," Dysis replied looking at Crux before turning to Lucy. "I didn't know you had the Southern Cross key."

"Oh yea, I have the Southern Cross, the Clock, the Lyre, Canis Minor, the compass and ten zodiac keys. But don't change the subject, what something."

Dysis looked slightly impressed. "Oh, it's just really nice to meet someone else who knows what it's like to read people's minds."

The rest of the group quickly tried to stop thinking about their thoughts right then, but it was too late. Dysis turned to Gray. "She not gonna do that forever, you should tell her how you feel about it." Gray turned red and looked away.

Dysis turned to Levy, "there actually might be a book on my smell and why it smells like someone else's," and then she turned to Gajeel, "you're presentation was actually quite impressive even if you missed some key points. I'm sure she was impressed."

She looked at Erza, "I won't say what you were thinking just in case you hit me."

Erza nodded, "smart move."

Dysis turned to Wendy, "If you want to find someone to understand, go talk to him," Dysis nodded her head towards Romeo.

"Lucy, I'm not anyone's mate."

"Natsu…you might be right, but that wouldn't make any sense would it?" Everyone stared at the two of them, but then Crux woke up.

"I have found half a dozen entries on why someone might smell like fractions of someone else."

"Can you tell us Crux?" Lucy asked. Everyone leaned in closer simultaneously to here better.

"Reason 1..."

Sorry, I only came up with 4, so I need sometime to think of the other of two more. I know I should have said 4, but half a dozen sounds better don't you think?

So, why do you think Dysis smells a bit like Natsu and Erza?

Oh, and sorry , I didn't use the town name in this chapter, cause I cut this chapter in half, but I'll use it in the next chapter.

So, any ideas? Any questions? Any pairings? Anything you don't like? Anything you think I should add? Just tell me, and I'll try to put it in the story or fix it.

Tkxs for reading.
