I don't own fairy tail
Enjoy!
Natsu felt the train lurch into action and immediately felt very, very nauseous. He groaned and collapsed onto the wooden boards he was kneeling on. Myron started to laugh loudly whilst the others gave him confused looks.
"Someone's fucking travel sick!" He yelled in explanation and laughed harder; everyone else, apart from Natsu, laughed with him. Haru, still laughing softly, sat Natsu in a upright position against the wall so his face wasn't facing the floor. The train gathered speed, and Mika ran to shut the doors of the container they were in, as the wind began to grow harder and colder.
"Thanks." Rinn and Yuki said together, but Villain whined.
"Life's tough." Myron said to the dog and lay down.
"Have you always been this travel sick?" Haru asked Natsu, who had turned a light shade of green. He nodded.
"How do ya distract ya self?" Mika said loudly from the corner, ripping up some cardboard that she had found. Natsu shrugged.
"Let's play I spy!" Mika shuffled closer to the group and Rinn rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, like that's gonna work. We have loads to see in here." However, he shuffled forward too, and Myron sat up.
"Me first." Yuki cried out quickly. The others moaned.
"No fair!"
"Fuck you."
"I had a good one!"
"I don't care."
Natsu said nothing in fear of being sick but listened intently. Maybe, it could work as a distraction."
"I spy with my little-" Yuki started but was interrupted when a rolled up piece of card got thrown into her face by Mika. She glared at her jokingly whilst they giggled, then carried on in a louder voice.
"I spy with my little eye, something beginning with…" she looked around, "'A'!"
"Animal?" Haru guessed.
"Nope." There was a thoughtful silence.
"Arachnid." Rinn said slowly.
"There's no stupid arachnid in here." Mika said confidently. Rinn nodded.
"Yes there is. On the roof." Everybody, including Natsu, looked up and saw a small spider hanging from the roof.
"That's not it." Yuki said and there was a groan.
"What else could it be?!" Haru asked. Yuki raised her eyebrow.
"You wanna know?" She asked. Haru shook his head but Myron and Rinn shouted "YES!" over him. Yuki grinned.
"The answer is…" she paused for effect- even Natsu had stopped feeling sick for a second to hear what was coming. "A bunch of idiots!"
Everybody cried out in outrage.
"That's stupid!"
"You broke the rules!" Haru said the loudest, "one word only."
Yuki grinned cheekily.
"You didn't say." She said and Natsu facepalmed.
"Those are the official rules of I spy, idiot!" He said but then immediately shut his mouth again. However, he was feeling slightly- very slightly- less sick.
"My turn next." Rinn said before Yuki could argue. "I spy, blah blah blah…something beginning with 'B'."
"Bitches." Myron said immediately, pointing to Mika and Yuki. Haru and Natsu laughed and Rinn snorted.
"Bitch and proud." Mika said whilst Yuki punched Myron's shoulder; Myron yelled and crawled away, cursing.
"Don't call Carrot top a bitch." Rinn said, smiling at the scene that unfolded.
"Yeah," Natsu said, grinning, "she can't face the truth."
Yuki cried out angrily and Haru, Myron, Mika and Rinn laughed. Yuki went to hit Natsu but the dragon slayer raised his hands in surrender.
"You wouldn't hit a sick guy!" He said and Yuki slowly lowered her fist, rolling her eyes.
"That's the worst excuse ever." She said and turned to Rinn. "What's your stupid word?" Rinn tapped his nose.
"Guess."
"Brown." Haru guessed and Rinn shook his head.
"Box." Natsu said half heartedly- he was still feeling sick and thought that his guess was stupid. Surprisingly, Rinn gave a thumbs up.
"¡Eres correcta!" He said and Mika gave a confused face.
"What does that mean?" She asked and Rinn rolled his eyes.
"You are correct." He answered and pointed at Natsu. "And by you I mean him."
Natsu gave a small whoop; unfortunately, this caused Villain, who was lying on the floor bored at this point, to stand up and bark excitedly. And loudly. Myron pounced in Villain and tried to shut his mouth but, thinking it was a new game, wiggled out of his grasp and howled.
"Now we're done for." Rinn said miserably when Villain was finally quiet.
"They might've not heard." Mika said hopefully but Natsu shook his head.
"I bet the whole train heard it. It was pretty loud." He said and covered his mouth again.
"How do ya know?" Mika challenged but Haru shushed her.
"If they haven't heard that, then we ought to be quieter." He suggested and they nodded.
"It came from over here!" A voice yelled suddenly, making Haru jump.
"I bet they snuck on the train!" Another voice cried out and there was a big banging sound on the container's smaller door.
"We know you're in there!" The voice yelled angrily, "where are the keys?!"
"Here."
Rinn moaned loudly.
"Told you we're done for." He said and turned to Haru. "Any big ideas, Zap?"
Haru shook his head sadly.
"Only one I have is suicide." He listened to the numerous bangs, "there must be about eight or nine guards there."
"Fuck." Myron said in the silence.
-#!-#!-#!-#!
"I still can't believe we made it and got first class seats." Lucy said after the mages had been sitting on the train for half an hour; upon arrival, Erza, Lucy Gray and Happy were shocked to find a train guard wanting to escort them to their first class seats, on behalf of the mayor.
"I guess the mayor was serious when he said that he was grateful." Gray said and lay back in his red velvet seat. It seemed like nothing could disturb them- even Erza was relaxing.
Suddenly, shouting and cursing came from behind them, becoming louder and louder. There was also the sounds of the train's guards orders:
"Are the mages down here?!" One yelled as he burst through the door.
"What's going on?!" Lucy cried out as the doors were forcefully shut again by a single guard. The shouts came from the other side, and now some barking.
"I'm sorry for the inconvenience," the guard in the carriage said, scuttling over to them, "but there has been a few…teens trying to get a free ride on our train. We found them of corse, but they simply won't cooperate." More shouting and cursing. The guard took a deep breath and ignored it. "Do you mind if we tied them to the poles in here, and you keep a eye on them. I hope that the youths might decide to cooperate more if they are guarded by powerful mages such as yourselves."
The shouts and curses were getting ruder and louder.
"We'll be glad to." Erza said not very truthfully and turned her head towards the direction of the door. "Bring them in." Erza ignored Gray's glare.
The guard, however, looked relieved and went to open the door again.
"Fuckety fuck nuggets." One of the teens said and tried to kick the guard. He had green, spiky hair and was wearing a red hoodie with jeans and trainers. The guard dodged the attack and stepped out of the way so the other guards could bring the rebellious group in.
"Damn it." The green haired teen said, looking at Erza, Happy, Lucy and Gray. Roughly a guard pushed him foreword.
"Mages?! Are you kiddin'?!" Cried out a girl, who had stopped kicking momentarily to get a good look. She had dirty blonde hair in a ponytail and was wearing a denim jacket full of holes. She started to struggle again as she was getting dragged through the isle and (eventually) tied on a post next to Gray. The girl looked up at him.
"Are ya always naked? Cause that's a bad habit." She asked and Gray looked down to find he had stripped to his boxers. Again. Gray ignored her and turned away.
"It's not my fault!" Another boy with brown hair and glasses cried out from the back. "My father forced me to board this train…"
"Or he'll kill him…" a girl with ginger hair cried behind him as they got dragged to two more poles.
"I DON'T EVEN HAVE A HOUSE!" The blonde girl cried out dramatically, waving her legs in the air.
"I never knew my father!" The green haired teen yelled and pretended to die, presumably, as he flopped against the pillar he was tied to.
"You have a father?" A raven haired boy said as he was getting dragged by a guard; he was sitting crossed legged to be difficult. "I was a lab experiment."
"You has that kind of money?" The ginger girl said, stifling her laughter, "my family was so poor that every night we had to eat one family member." They all burst into laughter and Erza looked away from the door; she was getting a sore neck.
"There's one more here, but I think he's travel sick…dead to the world…" a guard said, ignoring the other teens and began to drag one more person down the isle. Suddenly, the guard yelled from behind them.
"The punk bit me!" He yelled angrily and all the teens burst into loud laughter.
"Nice one, Creeper." The green haired teen yelled, trying to crane his neck. Lucy, who was nearest the him, gave him a questioning look.
"His parents were very cruel." The teen said in explanation.
"Come here, you punk!" The guard yelled and began to tie the teen to the front pole. First, Erza only glanced at the last teen; he was just another trouble maker. Then, she looked closer, not daring to believe it. But she was right. And a quick glance at the other mages' faces told her she was not hallucinating.
Natsu Dragneel was glaring at her, very much alive. He noticed her staring and stuck his tongue out at her.
"Apologise to me now, boy!" The guard who had got bitten ordered and held up his bat threateningly. Natsu cocked his head, pondered, then spat in his face. The guard flinched and stormed away.
"Oohhhhhhhhhhhh!" The other teens cried out but Erza wasn't paying attention.
"Why?...why can't you…" she muttered but remembered what Mokarov said about Natsu's memory.
"He didn't recognise me at all…" he had said, hadn't he? Erza looked at Natsu closer, and saw that the dragon slayer had looked different then when she last saw him.
Natsu's hair was longer, understandably, and he was no longer wearing his trade mark clothes- he had a white top on under a worn, leather jacket and he had black trousers on. But the thing that Erza noticed most wasn't his clothing, or his hair- it was the fact that there was a deep, red cut running down the side of his face all the way to his jaw line.
"Where's my doggie?" The green haired teen asked loudly and in answer, a guard dropped a huge, black, unconscious dog at his feet. Natsu turned and gasped silently.
"Villain?" The green haired teen whispered and, unknown to anyone but him and Natsu, the dog opened its eye, wagged its tail once and shut his eye again.
"Play dead…" Myron muttered, smiling softly. He caught Natsu's eye, and winked. Natsu grinned back, but then hid his smile.
