"Ah, you made it." I looked to the left to see the fake Salamander. He took the two of us in a separate room on the boat where we sat on the couch. On the way, I noticed how there were no guys.

"Lucy, huh," he started. "That's a pretty name."

"Thanks," my sister smiled.

"Traci is unique too," he said. I didn't react to him. I just crossed my arms and legs, glaring at the man. "I don't think your sister likes me very much."

"She's like that with everyone," Lucy said waving me off.

"Anyway, let's toast with a glass of wine first," he said holding out two glasses.

"Don't you have to attend to the other girls," I spat angrily. I really don't like this guy.

"It's okay," the fake Salamander said. "I just feel like drinking with you. Try opening your mouth. Pearls of wine will slowly come in." I finally sniffed the wine which smelled sickly sweet. I stood up and swatted the drink away from my sister.

"What are you planning," I growled. "That was a sleeping drug." Lucy's eyes widened and looked between us in confusion.

"How did you know," he asked trying to play innocent.

"I've got the nose of a dragon," I growled.

"Don't misunderstand," Lucy said standing up next to me. "I want to join Fairy Tail. But I have no intentions at all being your girl."

"You two are bad girls," he said darkly. "If you had just slept peacefully, you wouldn't have to get hurt." Without warning my arms were pinned behind my back. I resisted the urge to fight back. I had to find out more information about this guy, like who he really is. I closed myself off, ignoring the urge to snap. Especially when they were trying to feel their way up my dress. A crash brought me back to reality.

"Natsu," I breathed. The dragon inside me stirred, happy Natsu came to rescue my twin and I. I giggled as he fell to the ground, sick.

"Did big, bad Natsu get taken down by motion sickness," I teased.

"Traci," someone cheered. I looked up to see my favorite cat. "You're okay."

"Happy," I called. "Get my sister out of here. I'll stay with Natsu." He nodded his cute little head and wrapped his tail around Lucy. After they left, I jerked my arms out of my captors. I ran over to Natsu and helped him stand up.

"Fai...ry... Tail," he tried saying. "You..." Before he could finish his sentence, we were swept to shore by a giant wave. Natsu wrapped his arms around me as we tumbled around the boat.

"Aquarius," I yelled. The spirit turned to me with an apologetic look.

"Oops," she laughed. "Sorry Trace." She glared once more at my sister before returning to the Spirit World.

"It stopped," Natsu said. "The rocking stopped." He slowly stood up and moved himself in front of me.

"Natsu," I said getting his attention as my sister burst through the door. "Are you okay?"

"Brat," the faker said. "You shouldn't get on other people's ships without permission." Natsu glared at him and slowly took off his jacket, handing it to me. I quickly put my arms through it and breathed in his scent.

"Hey! Throw him out quick!"

"Yes sir!" I watched as the thugs ran up to Natsu.

"Are you a mage of Fairy Tail," he asked.

"What about it," the fake asked. I stood up behind him and placed my hands on his back. He briefly glanced at me before turning his attention back to the other man.

"Let me take a good look at your face," he said darkly. "I want to see the man who tried hurting my mate." I inhaled sharply as he said that.

"Mate," I heard my sister ask.

"It's a dragon thing," Happy said.

"I'm Natsu from Fairy Tail," he said knocking the guys out. "I've never seen you before!"

"Wha...! That mark!"

"He's real Bora!"

"I-idiot! Don't call me by that name!"

"Now I recognize you," I said. "You're Bora of Prominence. You were banished from the Titan Nose guild several years ago for committing several thefts using magic."

"I don't care if you're a bastard or a good person," Natsu growled jumping back to his spot in front of me. I felt the vibrations of his growl and the muscled tense. "But I can't forgive you for using our name. And threatening the safety of my mate!"

"Whatever!" Bora yelled using fire magic against us. "You're just a noisy brat." I heard my sister scream for me as Natsu protected me from the flames.

"Awful," my mate said. "What is it? Are you really a fire mage? I've never tasted such awful fire." I laughed at the expression on my sister's and Bora's face.

"Stay behind me," he said to me as everyone started freaking out.

"Bora! I've seen him before," one of the guys yelled. "Rosy hair and a scale-like scarf! No doubt! He's.. The real..."

"Salamander," I smiled as Natsu's flames danced around us. I barely felt their heat as they caressed my skin. I watched as Natsu slammed Bora's head into the flooring.

"Eating fire and punching with fire," Lucy said. "Is it really magic?"

"Dragon's lungs spew flames," Happy explained. "It's scales melt flames, and it's nails are dressed with flames. This is an ancient magic that converts the body into a dragon's constitution. It's originally a dragon interception magic."

"Dragon slayer," I said as Natsu continued beating Bora.

"Igneel taught Natsu this. Much like how Serena taught Traci," Happy said.

"Natsu," I called. He stopped and turned his attention toward me. "You overdid it." He looked around the messed up port and rubbed the back of his neck, grinning sheepishly.

"Oops," he laughed. We turned to hear the military heading in this direction.

"Come with me," Natsu asked taking my hands.

"Where," Lucy asked.

"To Fairy Tail of course," I grinned. Happy jumped in my arms as the three of us took off running. Natsu led us to the hotel we were staying at so Lucy and I could get changed.

"Why can't we stay here for the night," Lucy asked. I sighed and called Natsu up from the window.

"What is it," he asked bursting in. His eyes scanned the room before coming to a rest on me.

"Lucy thinks we should stay here tonight and head out in the morning," I said. "What do you think?"

He didn't do anything but stare at me. I looked down realizing I was still in my dress. I took that as a yes and went to change into my pajamas. The set I had shows my tattoo and toned stomach. As I stepped out, Lucy went into her room that was connected. I found Natsu on the bed, laying on his side, running his fingers through the sleeping cats fur. He looked up at me and froze before making space between him and Happy. I carefully laid down as Natsu pulled my back against his chest. Right as I drifted off, Happy crawled over and burrowed against my stomach.
