"How far away is this dumb guild?" Lucy whined to Natsu as they continue to walk through the town.
"Stop complaining!" Natsu whined back.
"You try wearing high heels!" She replied in a huff.
"Sure!" He responded happily stopping and looking at her as if waiting.
"W-Wait! Your not s-serious are y-you?" She asked in shock. He just grinned.
"Lucy just give him your shoes!" Happy whined.
"NO! There my shoes I wanna wear them!" She replied crossing her arms over her chest.
"Then don't complain about wearing them." Plue said simply.
"Damn cat…" Lucy mumbled under her breath and continued to walk.
"Come on Luce, I wanna try to wear your shoes!" Natsu whined following her.
"No. way. in. hell." She hissed before looking away from him.
"Lucy! Can we stop by the apartment! I want a fish!" Plue whined.
"Fine." Lucy sighed. "I will meet you at the guild, kay?" Lucy asked. Without waiting for a response she ran off with Plue flying after her, leaving Natsu and Happy in the street dumbfounded. They just shrugged and continued to the guild.
July 1 X782 12:03
"Come on we promised Natsu we would head to the guild." Plue said as they flew on their way after stopping at their place quickly.
"You're the one that wanted the dumb fish." Lucy said simply as they continued to walk through the town. "At least I was able to change my shoes." Lucy said with a contented sigh.
"Is that it?" Plue asked pointing to a giant building towering above them.
"I think so…" Lucy trailed off as she looked up at it. "Come on!" She declared going to the doors and opening them to take a peak inside. She gasped at what she saw…
Broken chairs and tables, people fighting everywhere, people drinking and partying and most importantly… Natsu standing in the middle holding up a pair of man's boxers.
"Natsu what are you doing?!" She called out to him in shock. Everyone stopped and looked at her, the place going dead silent for a minute.
"Oh come on Lucy I'm just having some fun! You should join! Lets fight!" He declared lifting his fist up and setting it on fire.
"No way!" She said as she walked up to him.
"Oh come on! Like old times!"
"No way!"
"Please!"
"No!"
"Natsu, who's your friend?" A man asked walking up to them. He was 100% naked.
"Put some clothes on man!" Lucy yelled covering her eyes.
"Then tell your boyfriend to give me back my pants!" He yelled back at her.
"HE IS NOT MY BOYFRIEND! NATSU!" Lucy yelled turning to face the pyro who was currently laughing his ass off.
"Yes Lucy?" He said acting all innocent.
"THAT'S IT! ROAR OF THE… STARDUST DRAGON!" Lucy yelled blasting a giant wave of purple, swirly, air at him from her mouth. It hit him directly on, knocking him over.
"Them's fighting words Luce! I'm all fired up!" He yelled jumping back up.
"Oh no!" Lucy sighed.
"ROAR OF THE…" (Natsu)
"TALONS OF THE…" (Lucy)
"ICE MAKE…" (Gray)
"MAN!" (Elfman)
"Men have no class." (Cana)
"SILENCE!" A voice boomed over everyone. They all froze stiff and looked up at the guild master. "IS THAT ANYWAY TO WELCOME THE NEW MEMBER?!" He boomed over everyone, appearing as a giant.
"But Jii-chan! She started it, she used her breath attack on me!" Natsu whined pointing at Lucy.
"You stole a mans pants!" Lucy yelled back at him.
"I didn't steal a mans pants, I stole Gray's pants, theres a difference!" He countered. Lucy just rolled her eyes.
"NATSU! SILENCE!" Master yelled. He then shrunk down to his actual size. "Hello dear what is your name? Are you here to join Fairy Tail? Are you a dragon slayer?" He asked a bunch of questions.
"Ummm. I dunno if I wanna join or not actually…" Lucy mumbled trailing off.
"Yes! She does want to join Fairy Tail!" Natsu declared.
"Natsu…"
"Come on Lucy please!"
"I dunno…"
"Come on, your the only one that can take me on!"
"What was that ice prick?!" The boy with ink hair, now named as Gray, said.
"I said I could kick your ass and Lucy is the only one on my level!" Natsu yelled back.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Just shut up both of you!" Lucy yelled at them. They both froze and looked at her.
"Yes ma'am." Natsu mumbled.
"Are you scared of her?" Gray asked putting emphasis on, her.
"Dude, I wouldn't do that if I were you…" Natsu warned.
"Do what? Like a girl could ever take me down!" He said with a smug grin. Natsu looked at Lucy with a smug grin.
"ROAR OF THE… STARDUST DRAGON!" She yelled at him, hitting Gray with her breath attack and sending him flying. He hit a wall in the back of the guild hall.
"Good one Luce!" Natsu yelled laughing his ass off at Gray, who was struggling to get up. "Hey Gray, if you liked that, you should see her when she's actually trying!" He yelled. Gray just coughed out smoke.
"WHAT! You mean she wasn't trying?!" Gray yelled looking at Lucy with a scared face. She just smirked at him. Master did a fake cough to earn everyones attention.
"Sorry master. To answer your other questions, my name is Lucy Celeste and I am a Stardust Dragon Slayer." Lucy said with a small bow.
"So are you interested in joining the guild?" He asked.
"… Oh sure why not!" She said with a small sigh.
"YES!" Natsu cheered throwing an arm over her shoulders. She just laughed at him.
"Go see Mira at the bar and get your guild stamp." Master told her. She just nodded, shrugging Natsu's arm off her shoulders and walking away.
"Are you Mira?" She asked the girl at the bar.
"Yes that is me! Where do you want your mark and what colour?" She asked her.
"Um can I have pink, on my right hand?" Lucy said holding out her arm. Mira nodded then used the magic stamp to seal Lucy's place in the guild.
"Lucy can we fight now please!" Natsu practically begged her.
"No Natsu! I'm going home!" She said crossing her arms. "Plue lets go!" She called to the cat.
"Come to think of it, where is Plue?" Natsu asked her.
"What the…" Lucy mumbled looking around.
"I'm here~" Plue yelled flying towards her.
"Plue where were you?"
"I was talking to someone!"
"Who?"
"Don't worry~"
"Fine! Lets just go home!" Lucy said before grabbing the cat out of the air and walking out of the guild hall.
July 1 X782
"Ah finally home!" Lucy sighed, sinking into the bath tub at her house. "What a day! Who would've thought I would see Natsu again? Especially after… that day." She mumbled into the water.
"What day Lucy?" Plue asked as he sat on the edge of the bath.
Flashback
July 7 X777
"Luna! Igneel! Are you there?" 11 year old Lucy called into the open clearing. No one was in sight. "LUNA! LUNA!" She yelled starting to get worried.
"Luce what's wrong?" Natsu mumbled only just waking up.
"Natsu, I can't find Luna anywhere! I haven't seen her since last night! She wasn't there when I woke up!" Lucy cried.
"Don't worry Luce their here somewhere…" He mumbled pulling her into a hug while she cried on his shoulder.
"A-Are you sure?" She chocked out looking at him.
"Positive!" He mumbled into her hair. "We can look for them if you want!" He said with his signature grin. Lucy nodded, wiping her tears out of her eyes. The two of them searched for hours for their parents but they were no-where to be found.
"Luce, its getting dark, we should turn in now." Natsu told her.
"No! I won't go till I find Luna!" Lucy yelled tears slipping down her cheeks again.
"Luce come on we can look for them in the morning! I'm sure their around here so don't panic." He said wiping her tears from her cheeks.
"Natsu we searched all day! If they were around here we would have found them by now!" She yelled at him.
"Lucy come on! We will look past the forrest tomorrow! But for now lets just go to sleep and try to relax, okay?" He said sternly. She bit her lip and nodded slightly. The two of them curled up in their cave and started to drift off to sleep.
Later that night, when it was past midnight… Lucy snuck off. She refused to wait, she had to look for them!
"I'm sorry Natsu but I can't stay here without Luna… I have to find her…" Lucy mumbled to him. She kissed him on the forehead then ran out of the cave and down the mountain and into the dark forrest. Up until this day, she had never seen him and she never thought se would find him again…
Flashback End
"Lucy!" Plue yelled, snapping her out of her trance.
"Huh?" She asked looking around.
"You zoned out again." He told her.
"Sorry buddy I was just thinking about something." She told him as she got out of the water and wrapped a towel around her body. She opened the door to the bathroom and stepped into her room. There on her bed, was the fire dragon slayer she was just thinking about.
"Natsu?! What are you doing here?!" She yelled at him, temporarily forgetting she was naked with only a towel. "Eep!" She squeaked racing back into the bathroom and slamming the door.
She quickly got dressed into a random t-shirt and shorts before leaving the bathroom with a clear blush on her cheeks.
"Oh come on Luce, no need to freak out. You act like its the first time I saw you naked." He said rolling his eyes slightly. Plue gave her a judge look.
"Don't look at me like that cat! We lived in a cave and he would always walk in on me changing!" She defended throwing a pillow at the cat.
"Suuure…" He said with a smug grin.
"Shut up!" She yelled throwing another pillow. She then started to plug in her hair dryer.
"Luce just let me dry your hair like old times!" Natsu said with a smirk.
"Oh no! Last time you did that you set my hair on fire!" She said backing away slowly as he approached her. She backed up until her back hit the wall as Natsu continued to close in on her. "Eep!" She squeaked when he had cornered her and lit his hand on fire.
"Come on Luce, just trust me!" He said grinning.
"Fine but I swear if you light my hair on fire, you wont be able to have kids." She warned with a glare.
"Whats that mean?" He asked, cocking his head to the side. She just sighed and shook her head.
"Um can you back up a little?" She asked avoiding eye contact, with a blush creeping onto her cheeks. He stepped back and she thought she saw a small blush creeping onto his cheeks. "Ooh do I see the all mighty Dragneel blushing? How sweet!" She cooed with a smirk, her embarrassment long forgotten.
"N-No way!" He huffed turning away, trying to hide his blush in his scarf. She smiled when she saw this.
"Is that the scarf Igneel gave you?" She asked with a gentle smile and kindness in her eyes. He nodded. "I still wear the necklace Luna gave me." She said, pulling a necklace out from under her shirt. It had a golden chain and a heart pendant in the middle.
"Whenever I feel upset or lonely, I always play the song in this necklace." She said opening it. A melody rang through the room. She hummed along to it as Natsu began to dry her long hair.
"Your hair grew a lot since I last saw you." He noted once the song finished and she closed the locket. She just hummed in response. "There all done! Now wasn't that faster than a hair drier?" He said with a smirk. She just rolled her eyes at him and began to run her fingers through her hair.
"Yeah yeah…" She mumbled. "Wait what are you even doing here?" She asked suddenly remembering that he broke into her apartment.
"Luce I haven't seen you in 7 years, cut me some slack." He whined.
"Fine fine just don't go making a habit of it." She sighed waving him off and not seeing his smirk. "I'm gonna head to bed so you can go home now." She said with a small yawn.
"Aww Luce! Please let me stay! Please!" He begged.
"Fine just this once, you can sleep on the couch." She said pointing across the room. She grabbed a blanket and pillow them shoved them in his arms and pushed him over to the couch. She then proceeded to literally fall face first into her bed, then crawl under the covers.
"Night Natsu. It was great to see you again." She mumbled as sleep over took her.
Once Natsu was sure she was asleep, he tiptoed over to the bed and slowly climbed in with her. The couch was uncomfortable and her scent was relaxing to him. He missed it, and he missed her. Seven years without her. Seven years.
Flashback(Natsu's POV)
July 8 X777
When I woke up that morning, she was no-where to be found.
"Maybe she just got up early to look for them, yeah, thats what happened." He kept on mumbling to himself as he left the cave. He searched left and right and through the entire forrest but she was no-where.
At the end of the day, he had, had no luck at fining his dad or his best friend. He went back to the cave after midnight.
"Luce, how could you leave me? First Igneel and now you? I thought we had something special. Did this all mean nothing to you?" He mumbled as he curled up into a ball on the cave floor, a stray tear slipped down his cheek.
Flashback end
"I missed you so much Luce…" He mumbled as he snuggled up to her. He wrapped his arms around her slim waist and pulled her close to him, as she unconsciously snuggled into his chest. "I'll never let you go again." Was the last thing he said, before sleep over took him.
He truly had no idea that she was awake the hole time and heard everything he said, including the flashback he had unconsciously spoke aloud. She couldn't help but snuggle up to him once she heard all those things. She felt horrible for leaving him, every day of her life and vowed to one day make it up to him.
July 2 X782 9:25
"Natsu wake up please!" Lucy begged Natsu. She had been awake for half an hour now yet unable to get out of bed. What is the reason for this you ask? Because of Lucy cuddling into his chest the night before, he began to hug her waist and pull her close and now she can't get out of his grip.
"Natsu come on it has been half an hour." She whined. Finally giving up, she tried to struggle out of his grip but it only tightened. She started to thrash against him. He rolled over, bringing her with him and ended up laying on top of her, lowering his head into the crook of her neck.
"N-Natsu stop this!" She stuttered with a massive blush now on her face. He just continued to 'sleep' on her neck. "Natsu do you think don't see that smirk?! We both know you are awake!" She huffed turning her head away from him. His smirk only grew.
"You've been awake this hole time, haven't you?" She asked with a glare.
"Maybe…" He mumbled into her neck.
"Can you get off now?" She asked with a blush.
"Nah. I'm comfy." He mumbled again.
"Natsu come on!" She whined.
"I missed you." He mumbled. He knew that he would always win when he used those words.
"Damn you." She mumbled. "Fine five more minute in bed but you have to get off me, deal?" She asked raising a brow.
"Nah, I'm good here and you can't make me get off you." He said with a smirk as he started to twirl her hair on his finger.
"Natsu come on!" She said with a pout.
"Thats cute." He said smirking at her again.
"Sh-Shut up!" She mumbled looking away from him making him chuckle at her. "Stop being mean! Can you just get off!" She whined with another pout.
"Stop pouting or I'll have to kiss you!" He sang still smirking.
"Oh ha ha." She grumbled avoiding eye contact.
"Lucy~" Plue whined from next to her. "So loud~" He mumbled.
"Sorry Plue, just tell him to get off me." She said glaring at the boy on top of her.
"Fine fine, keep your shirt on." He grumbled beginning to get off of her. As soon as she could move her arms, she threw him off her and onto the ground where he landed with an ungraceful "Oof!"
"Lucy!" He groaned.
"I gotta get dressed be right back." She said ignoring him and going into the bathroom with her clothes. She came back five minutes later to find that Natsu had gone back to sleep.
"Natsu get up before I punch you in the face." She warned him slowly. He jumped up out of bed.
"Whats the rush Luce?" He asked her, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh guess you don't wanna go to the guild then. Oh well." She mumbled.
"No wait! Lets go!" He yelled grabbing her hand jumping out of the window.
"Idiot Natsu don't do that!" She yelled while in the air with him. He landed on the ground safely then caught her just in time. She sighed in relief. "Never do that again! Got it?" She said with a menacing glare.
So guys did you like the third chapter? I hope so, I put a lot of effort into it. And I just posted a new story Fairy Academy. Hope you guys like it. Also in some PM's/comments I got a question. "Does Lucy not get motion sickness" the answer to that one is, yes she will eventually, I want to make it like Gajeel, how he found out about his later in the series.
Also in a comment from a guest named "grace", she said "I hope Lucy doesn't stay mad at Natsu for long", sorry if this was unclear, but she wasn't mad at him it just just like a friendly rivalry like Gray and Natsu but more on the friend side than the rival.
