July 1 X782 9:36

Lucy Celeste sits on the train staring out the window, just waiting for the ride to be over so that she can get to Hargeon. She is currently wearing a light blue shirt, a black mini-skirt and long black boots that go up to her knees, and her long blonde hair, in a pony tail slightly off to the side, was down to her waist. Her exceed Plue, site beside her on the train. Plue is a small walking, talking, white cat, with a large orange nose.

"Lucy are we nearly there?" Plue asks as he faces the eighteen year old next to him.

"Yeah were nearly there buddy." She mumbled glancing up at the map.

"PUN!" He yelled with a smile. She just smiled down at him and petted his head.

"If all passengers could now exit the train!" The speakers rang through the train. Lucy stood up from her seat and lifted Plue into her arms before heading to the exit. Next to the door, was a boy laying on the ground in a big heap looking like he was gonna vomit.

"Hey Lucy, look at that!" Plue yelled pointing down at the guy. He glanced up at Lucy suddenly not looking so sick.

"Plue! Don't be so rude!" Lucy hissed to him. "Sorry about him." She mumbled to the guy, who was staring at her intensely. She quickly exited the train.

"Natsu, what was that?" A small blue exceed asked the boy laying on the ground.

"I dunno buddy." He said getting up off the ground as they left the train.

July 1 X782 10:14

"Did you hear! Salamander is in this town!" Lucy heard a girl squeal to her friends as she walked through the town.

"Salamander…" She mumbled to herself, trailing off. Images of Igneel the fire dragon flashed through her head. "No way…" She trailed off.

"Whats wrong Lucy, why did you stop?" Plue asked her.

"Come on buddy!" She half yelled picking him up off the ground and racing through the town. "Where is he?" She mumbled to herself. The sound of girls squealing caught her attention. "This way!" She mumbled before running towards the sound.

In the middle of the courtyard was a large crowd of girls all squealing and cheering. "Salamander!" "Burn me!" "I love you!" People were yelling. Lucy broke through the crowd only to see a guy standing there. He glanced over at Lucy and winked at her.

'What is this feeling?' 'What's happening?' 'But he looked at me!' All kinds of thoughts ran through Lucy's head. She felt her heart rate increase, as hearts appeared in her eyes and she stared at him.

"IGNEEL!" Someone yelled busting through the crowd. The hearts in Lucy's eyes broke as she stared at the guy. It was the one from the train, but that wasn't what caught her attention. It was the name he yelled. 'Igneel, no way!'

"Who the heck are you?" The guy asked Salamander. All the girls started to beat him up leaving him on the ground. Next to him was a small blue… Exceed! 'An exceed, like plue!'

"Hey are you okay?" She asked him walking up to him and putting Plue on the ground. He looked up at her and again the stare continued. His onyx eyes piercing into hers.

"Here let me help you up." She said extending a hand out. He stared at her hand for a second before taking it and standing up.

"Thanks." He mumbled. "Man those girls fricken bite hard." He grumbled rubbing the back of his head. He let off a low laugh.

"Whats so funny, didn't you just get beaten up and your laughing?" She asked frowning slightly.

"Yeah its just that getting beaten up by that crowd of girls and getting bitten five times, reminds me of when I was a kid." He said with a small smile. Lucy just raised an eye brow at him. "Ah never mind. I'll never see her again anyway. I don't know why but you kind'a remind me of her." He said with a sigh.

"Before when you ran into the crowd you called out a name what was that?" Lucy asked him.

"AYE! Igneel!" The blue exceed said raising a paw.

"I knew it!" Lucy yelled.

"Huh?" The guy asked looking at her weirdly.

"Lucy, what do you mean?" Plue asked her patting on her leg.

"Um I'll tell ya' later Plue." She said, bending down and picking him up.

"Is that an exceed?" Natsu asked her. Sh just nodded.

"AYE!" The blue one yelled.

"PUNN!" Plue yelled. Lucy and the boy both chuckled lightly.

"Um my name is Lucy, its nice to meet you." Lucy said, shifting Plue into one hand and extending the other out to the boy.

"Natsu." The boy said simply, shaking her hand.

"I knew it!" Lucy yelled again, leaving everyone around her confused. "Sorry… Its just that, ah never mind…" Lucy mumbled trailing off.

"Tell me!" Natsu demanded.

"I'll tell ya' over lunch, my treat." She said with a grin showing off her sharp teeth. She then proceeded to walk away, leaving the two to follow her.

July 1 X782 10:20

Once they found a good restaurant to eat at, they sat down and waited for their orders. Lucy stared at his face and found her memories overflowing her.

Flashback

What is it?" The boy asked poking my cheek again.

"Stop that Pinky!" I yell pushing him off me.

"My hair is salmon!" He yelled.

"Pinky!"

"Salmon!"

"Pink!"

"Salmon! S-A-L-M-O-N!"

"You don't have to spell it out! I'm not as dumb as you are!"

"You just met me! You don't know if I'm dumb!"

"Well you'e have to be to die your hair pink!"

"It's natural and salmon!"

"PINK!"

End of Flashback

"Lucy, you're making that weird face again!" Plue said snapping me out of my trance.

"Huh?" I said looking around. "Oh right, sorry buddy." I said with a small grin petting him on the head.

"Its okay I think Natsu is doing the same!" The other cat declared. "He is making that stupid face."

"HEY! I was just thinking!" Natsu yelled at him.

"Really? I would have never guessed that one."

"HEY! What's that 'sposed to mean?!"

"Nothing ya dummy."

"STOP THAT!" They bickered back and forth. Lucy let of a small giggle. Natsu stopped and stared at Lucy.

"What?" She asked noticing him stare.

"N-Nothing." natsu mumbled looking away.

"Come on tell me please!" Lucy half begged leaning further towards the table and pouting at him.

"No."

"Please!"

"No!"

"Please!"

"NO!"

"PLEASE!" By this time Lucy was really close to his face, leaning closer every time he said no. She realised home close she was and leaned back, blushing slightly. "S-Sorry." She mumbled looking down and trying to hide her blush.

"Its just that… that laugh is exactly like someone I used to knows." He mumbled looking down as well. Lucy just giggled again and he once again stared at her.

"You seem to be mentioning this girl a lot. Who is she?" Lucy asked looking up at him again. Their eyes met.

"He llllliked her!" The blue cat declared with a roll of his tongue.

"SHUT UP HAPPY!" Natsu yelled at the cat making it flinch. Natsu looked down again. "Sorry…" He mumbled not looking up. "Its just that when I think about that girl… I remember that I will never see her again…" He said quietly.

"You know… I'm thankful I have dragon hearing or I may have not been able to hear that." Lucy said with a small giggle. He jerked his head up and stared at her with wide eyes. "Oops sorry, did I not mention I'm a dragon slayer, silly me." She said with another giggle.

"Y-Yo-You-Your… YOUR A DRAGON SLAYER!" Natsu yelled in shock slamming his hands on the table. Everyone is the restaurant stared at him making him blush a bit.

"Yep." Lucy replied simply with another small giggle.

"What kind are you?!" He asked leaning in.

"Stardust." Lucy replied, silently holding her breath.

"Hmmmmmmmmmmmm…" Natsu hummed putting a finger to his chin. "Nah never heard of it." he replied shorty.

"I see your as dense as always." Lucy replied with a sigh.

"Have we met before?" Natsu asked in confusion. Lucy just sighed in disappointment.

"Never mind." She mumbled under her breath.

"Tell me!" Natsu whined.

"Nah. Hm, to think I actually thought you would remember me." Lucy hummed.

"Lucy what do you mean?" Plue asked her.

"Never mind." Lucy hummed.

"Lucyyyyyyyyyy tell me." Natsu whined to her.

"Natsuuuuuuuuu no." Lucy whined mimicking him.

"Don't mimic me! And please!" Natsu half yelled with a pout.

"Fine! You keep saying that I remind you of a girl you used to be friends with right?" Lucy asked him. He nodded. "What if I told you I was that girl?" Lucy asked with a smirk. He gaped at her.

"Are you serious?" He asked her. She nodded at him with a gentle smile. He just stared at her. Lucy giggled again.

"You're as cute as ever Natsu." She said still giggling. He just blushed crimson and looked away, trying to hide his blush in his scarf.

"Sh-Shut up." He grumbled making her laugh more.

"He lllllikes her!" Happy and Blue sang together.

"I do not!" Natsu yelled his face going bright red now.

"She lllllikes him!" They declared together again.

"Shut up." I groaned. Both cats just laughed at our misery.

"So Lucy, what was Natsu like when he was a kid?" Happy asked me with pleading eyes.

"Don't tell them anything!" Natsu stressed. Lucy just giggled in response to him.

"Well… not much has changed since then actually…" Lucy mumbled trailing off.

"What did he act like?" Happy asked.

"Well, I would be a hypocrite if I called him a brat because I was one two, so…" Lucy mumbled.

"I was not a brat!" Natsu defended.

"You were always pulling my hair and you know it!" Lucy reported.

"You kept on biting me!"

"Because you pulled my hair!" They argued back and forth. The case just snickered at them.

"WHAT!" They both yelled facing the cats.

"You act like a couple." Happy snickered.

"NO WE DON'T!" They yelled simultaneously.

"Look Happy! They are even talking together now! So cute!" Plue laughed.

"NO WE DON'T!" They yelled together again. "STOP THAT!" They yelled again.

"Thats what we get for spending every second together growing up." Lucy sighed.

"What was Lucy like as a kid?" Plue asked.

"You don't need to know that!" Lucy huffed crossing her arms over her chest.

"Yes I do!" Plue whined. "I wanna know if you were as annoying back then as you are now!"

"HEY!" Lucy yelled swinging her arm at him but he flew upwards and out of her reach. She stood up and grabbed his tail. She then threw him across the room and sat down in a huff. "Damn annoying cat." She grumbled under her breath.

"Natsu, we gotta get back to the guild!" Happy declared.

"Why?" Natsu asked the cat cocking his head to the side.

"Erza will be back soon!" Happy replied with a shiver. Natsu froze. "Lucy you should come with us and join the guild!" Happy declared.

"Yeah come on it will be fun! The two of us together again!" Natsu declared with a big grin.

"Uh, I'd love to and all but I can't really because I'm still searching for Luna. She disappeared…" Lucy started but Natsu cut her off.

"7 years ago? Yeah I know… Igneel disappeared two." Natsu mumbled. Lucy stood up and slammed her hands on the table.

"Your father disappears and you joined a guild?! Did you just decide he wasn't worth looking for or something?! I can't believe you! Look it was nice catching up but I'm leaving! Unlike some people around here, I actually care about my mother!" She yelled at him before starting to leaved the restaurant.

"Wait Lucy!" Natsu yelled grabbing her hand and stopping her from walking any farther. "I never gave up on Igneel! I have been searching for him since the day he abandoned me! I stumbled upon Fairy Tail in my search and now I have a new family, a place to go back to!" He declared looking at her.

"A new family… Face it you've given up on him…" Lucy mumbled before trying to leave again.

"I never said I gave up on him! Don't you ever get tired of coming home at the end of a day of disappointment and having no one?! Checking into a new hotel every night and not having any friends to comfort you?!" He half yelled at her. She just looked down.

"I'm leaving, come on Plue." She mumbled and began to walk away again.

"Lucy wait! Come with me…" He mumbled standing in front of her to block her way.

"Natsu look… I'm not here to make friends, I'm just looking for my mum." Lucy said.

"I know and we can look for them together! The people in Fairy Tail are very understanding and every one there has a story or past issue that keeps them going." Natsu told her.

"I dunno…" She mumbled trailing off.

"Please Lucy! I'm sick of hotel beds!" Plue whined, coming back over to the group.

"Oh who are you kidding, you sleep on my stomach every night anyway." She said with a slight scowl. He just smiled innocently. "Oh fine! But I can't guarantee I'll stay…" She grumbled.

"YES!" Natsu cheered pulling her into a tight hug.

"He lllllikes her!" The cats sung together.

"I do not!" Natsu yelled puling back with a tiny blush on his cheeks.

I hope I didn't ruin the story :o. Any way...
