When Natsu woke up, he was half covered in rocks. He groaned, and moved out from underneath the rocks. He rubbed his face, and then he gasped. He looked around. "What? Where…" He scratched his head. "That's weird. I swear, we were just about to be hit with Acnologia's roar…" Then he gasped, and shot to his feet a little unsteadily. "Happy! Lucy!" He looked around, and found a furry blue head sticking out of the ground. "Happy!" He pulled his Exceed out of the ground, and shook him. "Wake up, Happy!"
Happy groaned, but opened his eyes. "Huh?! Natsu! What happened?" He looked around.
Natsu shrugged. "No idea. But, we've got to find the rest of the guild."
"What about Acnologia?" Happy looked scared, then he realized the black dragon was gone.
Natsu put Happy down, and looked around. "I don't know where he went. All I know, is we have to find the gulid." And Lucy, he thought. He didn't say that though. He took off running, and was surprised to find that the woods were back, even though he thought the dragon's roar had blown it away. He stopped dead when he saw Lucy though. She was lying unconscious, next to Wendy and Carla. Happy called. "Carla! Wendy!" And both of them rushed ot the girl's sides. Natsu grabbed Lucy, and put her in a sitting position.
"Lucy! Come on, wake up!"
Lucy's eyelids fluttered, and she groaned. She opened her eyes. "N-Natsu?"
He wrapped her in a hug. "Thank god, your safe."
She wrapped her arms around him. "Thank god your safe."
The couple broke apart, and woke Wendy. Natsu stood up once they were all awake. "We have to find the other guild members." He helped Lucy stand, and squeezed her hand.
"Let's go!" Wendy said, and she ran off, Carla and Happy following her.
Natsu was about to follow, when Lucy pulled his arm. "Wait a second, Natsu."
"What's wrong?" He asked.
Then Lucy did something he didn't expect. She leaned over, and kissed him on the lips. She pulled back just as fast, and giggled at his expression. "Now, let's go." She let go of his hand, and took off running.
Natsu could barely remember his name, but, mostly by male instinct, he ran after Lucy, determined to get another kiss.
