Natsu didn't think someone could be much of a pest as much as Gray.
But he was wrong.
Dead wrong.
The blonde would always complain how she got hungry and yelled at him for his bird.
"Don't call him a bird ya blonde picaroon!" Natsu would yell at the lass.
"Stop calling me blonde! I have a name! And I don't get these terms so I feel you're degrading me!" She would pout in anger.
"Like I care" Natsu tsked at her.
"It's Lucy." The blonde stop chasing him. "My names Lucy."
"Did I want ya name?" Natsu glared at her. Did she really think he wanted her following him?
"I just want you to address me properly by using my real name. Please?" Her voice softened as she got closer to him.
"Fine Scallywag…Lucy." Natsu teased. Natsu, even the densest of pirates could Lucy was seething with rage.
"Hey! How come you can call me weird names when I don't even know your name?!"
"And I don't plan on ya finding out little lass!" Natsu cocked a grin.
"Natsu! Natsu! Natsu!" A young boy with with dark purple ran towards the pink teen.
"Natsu..Scallywag." Lucy teased Natsu as he looked horrified seeing the dark aura from her.
"Romeo! You couldn't have come later?!" Natsu ran to the child.
"The whole ships been looking for you! It's been 24 hours. We're heading out to sea soon! You have to hurry because Erzas actin all provost again..." Romeo exaggerated the last two words in a horrified expression.
"Oh. No." Natsu whistled to call happy and started running towards the bay.
"Hey!" Lucy saw the stranger run away. She then thought to herself…
Heading out to sea?
Leaving the port?
Did Lucy just find her ticket to freedom?
Did she finally find a way to get away from her awful lie?
And Lucy ran faster than a train went.
She knew she had to get on that ship. She had nothing to lose going on it.
Plus, she would maybe have her first friend.
A friend.
Thinking about that word Lucy caught herself smiling for the first time in months.
So she ran ever faster and caught up to the ship. Holy Mavis she couldn't believe her eyes. That was the biggest thing she had ever seen. Taller than Kardia Cathedral.
It was beautiful. She saw the words on the ship saying Fairy Tail.
"Fairy tail..." The words spilled out of her mouth and tasted like vanilla. She loved the feeling of the name for some reason. But she realized.
This is pirate ship.
How is she going to get in?!
She searched everywhere and saw some men were loading boxes into the ship. So she ran to a box and emptied it out quietly. She groaned when she realized she was emptying out a box of raw pork. She tried running to another box when she heard a yell.
"How many boxes left Macao?" A purple haired young looking girl asked.
"Just this last one right here!" The man named Macao exclaimed pointing to the box was near. She jumped in quickly and shut the lid hoping it wouldn't fall out. She heard the man grunt and yelling for help and felt herself being lifted up into the air. She pinched her nose to block out the horrid smell. She couldn't stand anything that she knew was a tortured animal. She was vegan, so she felt horrible. She knew she had to get out. She felt herself being lowered and she immediately lifted the lid. Little did she know she was surrounded by men. Who looked like they wanted pork.
Really really badly.
But then they broke out in laughter and asked a bunch of questions.
"Whose this pretty lass?"
"Wow she's got big honkers!"
"Wait how'd this one get in the crate?"
"Scallywag?"
Lucy recognized the voice.
It was the weird,pirate talking pink headed Natsu.
"H-hey Scallywag…?"
