Chapter 3

"Wendy! Romeo! Carla!" Lucy shouted down the beach with no luck of finding the three mages. "I don't understand." She turns to Natsu. "Where could they have gone?"

"I don't know. But where ever they went its no where good." Natsu said to Lucy.

"Do you have that feeling?" Lucy asked.

"You mean the one in my gut where I know something bad is going to happen? That feeling? Yeah, I do. And its bad." Lucy gives Natsu a knowing looking.

Happy flies down towards them. "There's no sign of them from the sky either!" Happy exclaimed. "Natsu, I'm worried."

"It'll be OK buddy." Natsu states to calm down Happy. "I'm sure where ever they are they are doing just fine. You know Romeo will protect our girls." Happy smiles at that.

"You're right. I'm going to back up and fly around some more." Happy zooms off back into the sky. Lucy is smiling at Natsu.

"What's that look for?" He asks his friend.

"You're just a really good friend. They way you calmed Happy down. You really are great to your friends." Lucy says.

"Well yeah! You're supposed to be like that! And if someone isn't then that just isn't right!" Natsu's hand lights on fire. "If someone ever hurts a friend then they don't deserve to live. Friends are all we got. And people should respect that. And if someone hurts one of your friends then you have to hurt them back! You are supposed to protect your friends!"

Even though Lucy had heard the rant before every time she tears up. Being a fairy tail wizard is about making friends and being a family. A fairy tail wizard is always there for you. And they believe everyone should have a chance good or bad. That is just the Fairy Tail way.

Lucy looked down then and saw something burned into the rocks below.

"Natsu!" Lucy called her pink haired friend over. "Look at this." Lucy pointed to the scorched rock.

Natsu studied it. "Its in a different language Luce." He scratched his head. "I have no idea what it says."

"I wish Levy was here." Lucy hung her head. Then she heard that familiar laugh that she knew all to well. She looked towards the water and couldn't believe her eyes. "Levy!"
