Hiya again!
I don't own fairy tail
Enjoy!
Haru woke up first as always and pulled out the map from his trouser pocket.
"If we leave soon…" the brunette muttered, tracing a line on the paper, "then we should be able to catch this train…"
"Could you mutter quieter?" A voice said from behind him sleepily; Haru turned around and saw Natsu sitting up slowly, yawning.
"I thought you liked the beautiful sound of my voice. Besides, I thought I wasn't speaking that loud." Haru looked back at the map in his hands again and began to trace more lines.
"Oh, you were." Natsu answered and crawled over to where Haru sat and peered over his shoulder, cocking his head.
"Where we goin'?" The dragon slayer asked curiously; Haru stopped tracing a blue line and placed his map on the grass in front of him.
"I dunno…Fiore or Seven?" He asked thoughtfully.
"Errr…we'll vote on it." Natsu suggested and looked around at the sleeping forms around him. "…when they eventually wake up." Haru nodded.
"Good idea."
Natsu stood up, knocking Haru sideways accidentally, and stretched with another loud yawn.
"Watch it." The brunette said at his tumbled onto Yuki, who woke up with a yell.
"What the fu-"
"Language."
Natsu laughed as Yuki glared.
"Ahhh…language…funny…" The dragon slayer muttered and, not sensing the ginger's tension, walk across her glare and picked up the map which was threatening to blow away.
"Did my ears deceive me, or was that the dulcet tones of Carrot top's voice?" Myron said from behind them all, and went to help Haru up, who was lying on the floor, stunned. As he did this, he gave Mika a light kick.
"Piss off…" she muttered and rolled over, right into Villain's face. The dog immediately started to lick her face sleepily, thinking that the girl would like it. She did not.
"Ew ew ew ew ew!" Mika jumped up and started to frantically wipe her face whilst the others laughed. Villain, not knowing what he did wrong, started to bark and run around in circles.
"I'm awake!" Mika yelled and pushed the black dog away, who was trying to jump up. Rinn yawned and sat up, disturbed by the noise.
"I guess I am too. Thanks."
"Hey! It was tha' dog, not me!"
"Good. Now that everyone is awake," Haru began, and Mika fell silent, "what place next? Fiore or Seven?"
"Oh yeah…I forgot we were leaving today." Myron said and out his shades on, "Well, I better pack. I pick Fiore." Myron proceeded to start kicking some loose jackets and sandals into a pile; Villain picked a sandal up and ran off.
"Oi! That's mine you idiot!" Natsu yelled angrily and ran after the dog in his bare feet. Haru sighed and turned back to Yuki and Mika, waiting for their opinion.
"Well, I pick Fiore, 'cause the name is more creative than Seven." Mika said and dodged Villain, who was still carrying Natsu's sandal. Natsu came running a few seconds after, muttering lots of rude things under his breath.
"I choose Seven." Rinn said from behind them as he stood up and watched Natsu and Villain amusedly, "Because seven is a lucky number." Haru rolled his eyes.
"It's just a number." The brunette turned to face him and Rinn shrugged.
"Whatever you say, brain box, but I still pick Seven."
"Is Seven that place that had a stupid fucking dictator?" Myron called and he avoided a sprinting Natsu, who was now trying to rugby tackle the dog. Haru face palmed.
"Oh Sugar Honey Iced Tea. Forgot about that." He said and Myron burst into laughter.
"What?"
"Sugar Honey Iced Tea! You're too innocent for this world. Apart from when you stole the car. And the motorbike." Myron started laughing again and Haru rolled his eyes.
"Anyway…I guess it's Fiore then?" Haru folded up his map, which had been dumped on the floor.
"Yup." Yuki said, nodding, "unless we want to die in our beds."
"We don't have any beds." Myron piped in as he purposefully tripped over Natsu, who went flying through Haru's make shift bed.
"You know what I mean!" Yuki yelled and started to begin packing her rucksack furiously.
"I bet she is wishing that was your head." Natsu said from the ground to Myron.
"Aye."
Natsu froze. Why did that word sound so familiar?
He was in a centre of a big crowd of unknown people and was, yet again, smaller than he was now. In his hands was a egg which seemed to be hatching…
Faded voices…it was like Natsu was hearing through fog…
But the younger him watched in fascination as the egg glowed brighter and brighter, then…
A tiny, blue cat came out of the light and into the dragon slayer's arms.
He's not a dragon! Natsu thought and a silver haired girl spoke from his side.
"He's like a blue bird of happiness!" She said happily and Natsu thought.
"Ok, then he can be called Happy!" He yelled and the small winged cat gave a small:
"Aye!"
"Hey Creeper!"
Natsu was jerked back into reality and found that Mika was waving a hand in front of his face.
"Huh?" Natsu said, confused on what he just remembered.
"You kinda…zoned out." Mika explained.
"Why did you?" Haru asked from next to him. Natsu predicted that he was checking his pulse earlier. Typical Haru.
"I think I had a memory…" he muttered and his friends leaned in, waiting for the news.
"I remembered a blue cat…" Natsu tried to remember anything else from the memory, but the small memories were drifting out of his mind.
"A blue cat!" Yuki cried out, shocked at the idea.
"I thought I was strange." Rinn said, smiling. Natsu picked himself up from the ground.
"Yeah…it was weird…"
Suddenly, a clock chimed 8 times and Haru looked like he just had a mental breakdown.
"We've got to get to the station in 10 minutes!" He yelled and started to pack his bag at double speed. The friends froze for a few seconds, then did the same.
"If we're late I blame…Rinn fir being so negative about everything!" Yuki cried just as Rinn was saying that "they would miss the train"
"Piss off."
"Language."
"Are you fucking serious?!"
Two minutes later, the group of friends were leaping across the park gates (or in Villain's case digging under them) and dashing to the nearest station, carelessly knocking pedestrians out of the way.
-#!-#!-#!-#!
"No I insist! You must go back to Fiore! Get some rest! Me and my police will look out for your friend!" The mayor of the town cried as Erza, Happy, Gray and Lucy looked at each other, wordlessly deciding what to do.
'We need to stay.' Lucy's glance said but was over powered by Erza's 'I agree with him' stare. Gray thought, then nodded in Erza's direction, saying he too agreed. Happy just looked at them all, missing the silent communication.
"Thank you for your understanding. I appreciate you helping us look." Erza turned back and informed the mayor of their decision in her politest voice. The mayor smiled and nodded enthusiastically, twisting the end of this thin moustache.
"I'm glad." The mayor looked at his grand sliver watch. "If you leave now, you should catch the train that takes you straight to Magnolia." The group in front of him got up from their seats and started to leave the room.
"Thank you got your help." Lucy said politely; Gray and Happy muttered a small 'thanks' and bowed their heads. The mayor seemed joyful at their thank yous, and waved a pudgy hand.
"Hope you get some rest! You've done a great job!" He called as they walked out.
Lucy gave a small smile and closed the door after her, then immediately glared at her friends.
"We should stay." She said as they started to walk quite quickly so they could catch the train. Erza shook her head.
"No, we shouldn't have." She said and started to explain her reason. "I highly doubt that four of us could hope to find Natsu alone. I would have stayed and looked until the mayor mentioned that he would get his police to look." Happy nodded but Lucy still wasn't convinced. Gray noticed her look of disbelief and defended Erza, but not her reason.
"I know it seems unfair, Lucy, but if I were Natsu then I would have left by now." They looked up at him, intrigued at his reason.
"How come?" Happy asked curiously; Gray was silent for a few seconds, as if he was thinking of what he was about to say.
"Well, just think about it from his point of view." Gray walked quicker, noticing that it was nearing five to nine. He pushed open the double doors which he didn't realise were there and carried on. "A old, small man trips him up and then starts freaking out and knows your name. That is, if he can't remember Gramps." Gray finished.
"Well said." Erza said and Lucy looked finally convinced.
"Hey guys." Happy interrupted their thoughts abruptly, pulling them back to the crowded streets. "Do we need to catch the 10 past 9 train?"
Lucy nodded, confused, and looked up at the clock.
"We're gonna be late!" She yelled, and she was right; it was nine o clock exactly- ten minutes for them to get across town.
-#!-#!-#!-#!
"We're gonna be late!" Rinn yelled from Natsu's back as they sprinted to the train station. Mika was the only one ahead of the dragon slayer (unless you counted Villian) and Rinn, Myron, Haru and Yuki we're behind him.
"Brighten up!" Natsu yelled.
"Shut the fuck up." Myron yelled at the same time.
"You shouldn't swear in public." Haru panted, "there might be children."
"Fuck children."
"Nice." Yuki piped in and stumbled slightly.
"I found it!" Mika yelled breathlessly and pointed to a building with trains outside it. Unlike the rest of the city they were in, the station was decorated in immense detail and looked expensive.
"Well now I know what all this shitty towns money was spent on." Myron stated.
"I think this place was built to try and persuade tourists." Rinn suggested. "That's probably why it doesn't have any windows."
"Zap, what's the plan?" Natsu asked, seeing as they had no money.
"If there was a open storage door…" Haru looked at the train they were about to board, which was now crawling slowly away from the platform. "There!" He pointed to a open container which was trailing at the back of the carriages. "Jump for it!" Smiling, Natsu obeyed and did a run up to the container, then jumped as hard as he could.
"Chiii hooooo!" Natsu yelled as he jumped- it was the first kind of call that came into his head; he landed successfully on his knees in the cheap storage carriage. Thuds and yells next to him told the dragon slayer that his friends had successfully done the same.
"Fiore, here we come." He heard Haru say breathlessly.
