Chapter 2

Lucy and Natsu arrive at Hargeon as Natsu claim that his friend is waiting for them at Hargeon station.

" Wow, I never been to a town before." Lucy acclaim as she look around fascinated by the big ships, tall buildings and the thing they selled in the market. Natsu just smiled at her while looking around for his friend.

" Natsu, what is a station?" Lucy ask to him as she followed him from behind passing few peoples.

" A station is where people use as a way to go our destination faster using a mechanism called train." Natsu explain to her making her nod her head in understanding gesture.

When the both of them near the train station, he could see his buddy waiting for them near the entrance looking around other people while munching a fish in its mouth.

" Happy!!" Natsu called as Lucy could see a small cat in blue fur flying towards their direction.

" Natsu!! I thought you forget about me." The cat said to him as Natsu just nervously laugh at the cat called Happy.

" Sorry about that Happy, oh yeah meet Lucy. Lucy this is Happy." Natsu introduce both of them as they look at each other for a while.

"Aye!! I'm Happy, nice to meet you Lucy." Happy said hovering in front of her with its white wings while raising it paw towards her. Lucy tilted her head to the side feeling a bit curious about it species.

" I never met a cat who could fly. Its a pleasure to meet you too Happy." Lucy said smiling to the feline.

" Where did you found her Natsu?". Happy ask as he look from Natsu to Lucy several times.

" Its a long story, I will explain later at the guild." Natsu said to Happy as it nod its head landing on Lucy as Lucy hold Happy in her arms.

" First, let's find Igneel." Natsu had sparkles in his eyes feeling excited for himself with Happy as well except Lucy who just look strangely at Natsu as he said the foreign name to them. Happy notice her curiousity as Happy thought of her like a baby curious about playing their first toy.

" Igneel, is Natsus dad. He dissapeared when Natsu's still 10." Happy start his story about Igneel and Natsu. Lucy look at his back as she felt sad for his longing.

" Natsu tried to find him ever since. On the way, he met Master, he took him in and cared for him as a family." Happy continued his story.

" And then he found me and took care of me like his own. Him and Lisanna of course." Happy smiled to her. Lucy thought of this Lisanna in her mind as Happy know whats in her mind.

" Lisanna is an animal-shapshifter. She could transform to any kinds of animal she wants." Lucy made the 'ooh' face as she understand who this Lisanna is.

"But she died while doing a mission with her brother and sister." Happy face turn into a sad scowl on Happys face. Lucy felt sad for Happy and Natsu knowing their closess friend was gone leaving a hole inside their hearts.

"Salamander!!!!" A cheered were heard as they shout the name 'salamander' as the trio look over and saw a huge crowd of young women making a circle admiring something with hearts on their eyes.

" That must be Igneel!! IGNEEL!! Natsu ran forward with his friends followed behind him. He make his way through the crowds while shouting Igneels name. The crowd went silent as he stop in the middle of the crowd only to find dissapointment in his eyes which he frown.

" You're not Igneel, who are you?" Natsu voice out his question as Lucy could see a man older than Natsu and her with purple spiky hair and a wicked smiled plastered on his face.

" I am Salamander." The man as he introduce himself to Natsu which he just ignored Salamander. His fans attacked Natsu leaving only Lucy and the Salamander guy.

Salamander notice Lucy as he was stunned by her beauty as he thought how beautiful this girl is. As he thought for a plan to make her fall for him.

" Hey there beautiful" Lucy then look at him as he use his charm spell on her.

Lucy look at him with confusion as she tilted her head to the side. Happy just watch the stranger hitting on Lucy with a spell which Happy thought of a love spell.

" Do I know you sir?" Lucy asked Salamander making him gawked at her thinking of the spell have no effect on her.

" Lucy, let's go see Natsu if he's alright." Happy release its wings as Happy floating next to her as she nod at him following behind Happy leaving the man who still dumbfounded.

Natsu who was beaten by the crowd of fangirls lying limply on the alleyway with plastic bag of trash stash around him.

Lucy and Natsu found him as they crouch next to him. Lucy and Happy look at each other as they divert their head to see their pathetic friend who just got beaten by an angry fangirls. Happy couldn't help but only sigh at this. Natsu always causes trouble everywhere both of them go.

" Get up Natsu, let's get something to eat. I'm hungry already." Happy float next to Lucy as he began to stood up with Lucy followed.

" Yeah those girls are scary." Natsu said as he rub his aching head. Natsu couldn't help but wonder human women are scary. Even though he just ignored the man earlier there is no need to get upset at him as he thought in his mind.

" Natsu is fine then?" Lucy asked him stopping him from his thought as he look at the woman who became his new friend few days ago. He nod at her with a simple 'mmm' as an answer to her question.

" C'mon, you probably be hungry by now." Natsu grab Lucys hand as he drag Lucy with Happy on their tow to the restaurant nearby them for their lunch.

After they arrive at the Hargeon restaurant, ordering their meal, they continued their chatting about the guy called Salamander.

" Seriously though, who called themselves after a lizards name?". Natsu pouted crossing his arms in frustration.

" Apparently the guy did. Sometimes I wonder what difference between him and you." Happy smirk at him knowing he will be piss at himself.

" Well, haven't you notice I'm more cooler than the guy earlier." Natsu pouted feeling irritated by Happys comment on comparing him and the lizard guy which Natsu prefered to called him that. Lucy just giggled at their childish bickering between one another which she just shook her head amused at both of them.

" That reminds me, do dragons prefer to live in town where humans live?" Lucy interject them from their bickering as Natsu and Happy felt a huge stone hitting on their head realizing that Lucy is right about something. They wonder in their head are they idiot or just plain stupid. Sometimes they wish they have clever mind for once.

As they finish their meal, they went to a nearby park for them to rest their feet for a while as the trio sat on the bench looking up the sky. Natsu and Happy suddenly jolt from their seat as they turn to face Lucy with shocking face as they seem to realize something.

" Lucy, we got something that we forgot to buy earlier, we'ill be right back. C'mon Happy." Natsu dash to the town with Happy flew behind him as they dissapear from her sight. Lucy just look confuse at their behaviour and shrugged away her worry and her curiousity to their sudden and odd behaviour.

Just when she look at the red- orange sky realize its dawn, a sound of rustling bush from her back making her jolt from her seat as she turn around to the bushes. When the rustled continue she took slowly step towards the bushes when she felt someone grab her from behind as a piece of white covered her mouth making her drousy and dizzy till blackness consume her conciousness.

Natsu and Happy let out a sigh of relieve as they completed the errand force fully by the Master himself before they went to complete their mission given by the Master.

" Thank Mavis we did buy that useless magazine that pop want us to buy." Natsu said as they arrive at the park slouching back on the bench they seated earlier.

" Yeah, good thing we made before it ran out." Happy took a seat beside him as he held a magazine with the cover of a woman in bikinis. It make them embarassed buying it with the ther customers such as girls giving them dirty look while other just laugh at their faces making Natsu face even redder than ever. It was a humiliation on his dignity for buying the stupid magazine.

" Sorry we took so long. . . . . Lucy?" Natsu look at beside them noticing a certain blonde waiting for them is nowhere to be found. Natsu look around near them but no blonde in sight. Happy mimick Natsus action but he also can't found the blonde either.

" LUCY!!!" They tried calling her name but it seems no response from her.

" Dammit!!" Natsu punch on a nearby tree causing it to fell and cracked to few pieces till something caught their attention. A piece of white clothing that seems to belong from Lucys dress and foot print seems way bigger than Lucys. Happy began to think about the situation until something click in Happys mind realization began to hit him with cold sweats plastered on Happys face.

" Happy? You okay there buddy?" Natsu ask with full of concern as Happy started to tremble.

" Natsu, I think Lucy is. . . " before he could finish his sentence, a group of girls chatting about the Salamander causing their ears perk up at their conversation.

" I heard Salamander adding a party on his boat."

" Yeah, I wish I had his autograph earlier."

" He's pretty famous though considering his from Fairy Tail."

When the girls dissapeared, Natsu became silent with Happy look at him feeling worry for Natsu. Happy could feel the same way as he is. Happy was angry and furious but the one person who felt more rage than Happys ever were was the person who was raised by a dragon himself: Natsu.

" Happy, fly me there." Natsu said with his voice full of superiority and power as Happy look at Natsu with a questioned look.

" What about Lucy?".

" I know where she is and I'm gonna get her back." Natsu said with the look of determination as Happy readied his wings to fly themselves towards their enemy and friend.
