HELLO EVERYBODY! :D I'm really bad at updating every day, aren't I? haha.. $: Sorry though, it's cause of school and stuff like that. I will continue to update whenever I can. ALSO, this chapter is about Edo-Lucy and Edo-Natsu and how they ended up going from Edolas to Earthland (actually, it's more about their relationship -wink, wink-). Okay, go read. :)

Just to make it clear. Natsu Dragion and Lucy Ashley are from Edolas. Meanwhile, Natsu Dragneel and Lucy Heartfilia are from Earthland.

Flashback - Edolas

Mirajane had been playing matchmaker again.

Lucy Ashley knew because she was greeted by smirks and giggles when she had got to Fairy Tail that afternoon. Everybody was staring at her, so she sent death glares at every single person who stared at her. Soon, almost half the guild was looking away in fear. She looked over to Juvia and saw her give her a satisfied smile, as if she had just imagined something about Lucy and was very pleased. Lucy gave her a death glare too before she walked over to the bar and sat down on a stool, resting her arms on the counter and leaning forward.

"Mira?" Lucy said in a low voice, eyebrows twitching. "What have you filled the minds of our guild with?"

"Oh, Lucy!" Mira gave her an innocent smile. "You're here early today. Don't you usually sleep until late in the afternoon?"

Lucy grunted. "Not today. An annoying bird was singing outside my window and it wouldn't go away."

"I see." Mira said.

"Anyways, back to my question… What did you tell everyone while I was sleeping?" Lucy leaned forward even more, demanding an answer.

"Oh, nothing!" Mira smiled sweetly. "We just talked about some things. You don't want to hear about it."

It was true that Lucy didn't want to hear about Mirajane's matchmaking schemes, but she knew that whatever Mira told the guild that day involved her so she needed to find out what she said. Lucy put her elbow on the bar counter and propped up her head. "Please, do tell."

"Well, if you insist." Mira had a devilish look on her face and Lucy knew that she was not going to like what she was about to hear. "Basically, I was talking about the dance that's coming up."

Every year, the guild would throw a huge dance party. All the members would come and dance, drink, and party all day long, but at midnight, there would be three slow songs that were played before the party ended.

"Everyone that was here in the morning was betting on who would ask who to slow dance. There were some very interesting bets. The one that had the most people betting for was you and Natsu." Mira winked.

Lucy felt her face redden, and then she stood up violently and slammed her hands onto the counter. "MIRA! THAT IS JUST STUPID. NATSU WOULD NEVER ASK ME TO DANCE WITH HIM AND I WOULD NEVER ASK HIM TO DANCE EITHER!"

"The rest of the guild doesn't think that." Mira waved her hand as if she was brushing away Lucy's comment.

Lucy scanned the guild and saw that people were still staring and snickering. Her eyes searched and searched until they landed on a certain salmon-haired boy. Natsu smiled awkwardly and nervously before he waved. Lucy slapped her forehead and took a deep breath. "I'm going for a walk."

She got up from her stool and strode out of the guild with her eyebrows furrowed and body boiling. When she got far away from the guild, she started mumbling to herself. "Like Natsu would ever ask me to slow dance. Mirajane has to stop making people believe all this rubbish." Lucy sighed and started laughing. "Natsu probably thinks I'd kill him if he tried to ask me to dance and I probably would too! Friends don't do that kind of stuff… or do they?"

Lucy's thoughts were interrupted as she heard panting from behind her. She turned around, hand on her whip that she got ever since she saw Earthland Lucy fight with one.

"H-hi." Natsu panted.

"Why are you here? Did you hear me talking?" Lucy glared at Natsu, making him feel nervous.

"N-n-no." Natsu continued to stammer. He was afraid of Lucy beating him up. "I just… came to clarify something… with you."

Lucy placed her hands on her hips and stared at Natsu. "Mhm?"

"Um… How should I say this?" Natsu looked down and started fidgeting with his fingers.

Was Natsu about to make a love confession? Lucy shivered at her own thoughts and turned a light shade of pink. Of course not, that would be crazy. Where the hell did that thought even come from? Mirajane's matchmaking ideas are probably infecting my mind along with the all the other guild members.

"Spit it out." Lucy said impatiently.

Natsu jumped at the tone Lucy used and quickly said without thinking, "I would never ask you to slow dance, not in a million years." After the words spilt out of his mouth, Natsu realized what he said and clamped his hands over his mouth.

Natsu cowered in fear and shut his eyes, while fear caused him to tear up a bit. He was expecting her to be extremely offended and probably beat him up. After a moment of silence, Natsu stopped cowering and looked up at Lucy. She was staring off into space.

He was about to say something when she suddenly burst out laughing. Her laugh startled him, making him jump away from her, but her laugh sounded sincere and not evil-sounding so he smiled.

"Bahaha! Natsu, you're hilarious. You got all scared for nothing. Honestly, you don't need to tell me that! I already know that you wouldn't do that because we're just friends, plus I know who you like." Lucy said.

"Wha-?" Natsu was dumbfounded.

"I figured it out myself! I could tell by the look in your eyes that you liked her. Mirajane didn't even have to tell me who you liked." Lucy stated proudly. She was terrible at love and love-related things, so when she found out who Natsu liked, she was quite proud of herself for figuring it out.

"Y-you do?" Natsu turned a bright shade of red.

Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in the sky above Lucy. Rays of white light shone from the circle and surrounded her.

"What- What's happening? I- I can't move my feet!" Lucy stammered, looking around in shock.

"Lucy!" Natsu jerked forward to help her; a surge of courage washed away his usual cowardice. He took two steps towards her, but another magic circle appeared above him, restricting him from moving forward. "N-no!" He kept trying to budge his feet by twisting and turning his body, but it didn't work.

"N-Natsu!" Lucy cried out, she had never been so afraid in her whole life. We're going to die, she thought.

"Take my hand!" Natsu reached out his hand toward Lucy. Lucy's eyes widened at Natsu's bold action. "If something terrible happens, at least we'll be going through it together."

Hesitantly, Lucy reached out her hand. Natsu and Lucy strained to get closer; they stretched themselves towards each other until the pain made them feel like their skin would tear. Right when the light got overwhelmingly bright and blinded the two, Natsu felt Lucy's fingers intertwine with his.

Natsu groaned. He sat up slowly and took a good look at his surroundings. It looked like he was in a woodsy kind of area.

"NATSU!"

Natsu turned around just in time to see Lucy tackle him, making him fall over.

"Natsu! I'm so glad I found you. I was beginning to think I was all alone." Lucy sighed into his chest. Natsu forced his tears of pain to stay within his tear ducts and stared at Lucy. She was on top of him, hugging him like a giant teddy bear. Natsu smiled and hesitated to hug her back, but before he had the chance to do so, Lucy snapped her eyes open, realizing what she was doing. She jumped off of Natsu and started blushing like mad. "Don't tell anyone I did that… or else." Lucy shot him a death glare.

Natsu looked away. Lucy sure is weird, he thought. When he felt her gaze move away from him, he glanced at her and she was smiling softly with a light blush on her cheeks. Pretty…

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and her face went blank.

"What's wrong?" Natsu asked.

"Where are we?" Lucy's mouth was in a flat line, her eyes full of worry.

"Um, I don't know." Natsu shrugged. He was starting to get worried too. "I don't think we're in Edolas anymore though."

Lucy sighed. "We should start looking for civilization so we can get some information on our whereabouts."

Natsu nodded and got up from the ground. Lucy started to walk in some random direction and he followed her. None of them talked and it seemed the silence stretched on for hours. Finally, after a seemingly long period of time, they saw a house.

"Natsu!" Lucy perked up with the excitement from finally finding some sort of civilization. "We found something!"

Natsu perked up at the sight of the house too. He had been getting hungry, but he didn't tell Lucy for fear of her beating him up for whining. Now, he was finally going to get food, so he continued to trudge behind Lucy with newfound energy.

"Hurry up, Dragion!" Lucy looked back at Natsu. Her patience was faltering and she wanted to get to the house right away. Lucy quickly walked over to Natsu, grabbed his collar and dragged him over to the house. Though she was dragging him, they were still faster than when he was walking and Lucy had to pace her steps so she wouldn't ditch Natsu.

Excited and impatient, Lucy Ashley didn't bother knocking on the door and waiting for a response. Instead, she let go of Natsu's collar and she kicked the door. It didn't budge. Natsu walked back a bit so that he wouldn't accidentally get kicked by Lucy too. This time, Lucy moved farther away from the door, charged towards it, and kicked it down.

To her and Natsu's surprise, they were caught facing the Earthland version of themselves. Lucy's face turned pink when she saw that Earthland Lucy was on top on Earthland Natsu and that their faces were just centimeters apart. Using her peripheral vision, Lucy could see Natsu turn pink, but he was an even darker shade of pink than Lucy.

Natsu Dragion scratched his head and shyly asked, "Um, are we interrupting something?"

Natsu Dragion's thinking there's some loving going on in that house. haha. ;D Well, that was awkward. ANYWAYS, I hope you readers all enjoyed this chapter! I will be updating eventually (hopefully within 1-3 days). Please review, because I'd love to hear your thoughts on the story so far. The next chapter will probably be more interesting, so stay tuned~ :)
