a/n: sadly, fanfiction only got crappier so I can't even copy my own writing's anymore... so, no more: "PREVIOUSLY ON THE LAST CHAPTER"

YOU SUCK FANFICTION. CHANGE IT BACK!

Dan straight pulled out a cigar and lit it up, closing his lighter and taking a quick puff from his cigar. He sighed and looked around the area as if he was trying to figure out where he was. After coming home with another girl, he had to find a way to go home.

He looked right to left and let out a puff of smoke after inhaling, looking up the bright sun that blinded him for a minute.

After he was done smoking, he place the bud on the ground and stepped on it, stepping away to walk down the road where he could fairly see early-opened restaurants where he could grab a quick bite.

Maybe after he was finished he would go home and sleep then go back to Fairy Tail club to find another girl.

~X~

"What do you mean I can't go and beat the shit out of him?!"

"Natsu! Be reasonable! You can't just go and do that to him!"

"Why not?! He made you suffer and now he made another one suffer! She's given birth to that bastard's baby for crying out loud!"

"You two... could you please lower your voices?" Angel plead as she tried putting her child back to sleep. She sighed when the cries got louder along with their voices instead of becoming lower.

"We don't know where he is and you can't just go and beat him up!"

"Yes I can! I'll find him—he can't be that far!" Natsu shouted, suddenly stopping to realize something. "Your father!"

"What about him!?" Lucy shouted, not liking how this conversation was trailing towards an area Lucy did not want. "He knows where he is! They're in touch—remember?! We could—"

"No!" Lucy shouted making Natsu stop speaking. The only thing that could be heard was Athena's cries that were eventually cooled down by her mother's cooing and the heavy breathing from the couple.

Natsu blinked and looked at the blonde, frowning at the face she made. "Why? Wouldn't it be easier—"

"I'm not going to contact him! I'm not going to do anything because he messed with us before and who knows what he'll do if he go again?! No means no, Natsu. We'll think of something else, I'm sure he can't be that far..." Lucy mumbled the last part, biting onto her thumb as she looked away from the groaning male.

Natsu turned to look at Angel who looked at the man who pointed at Lucy and urged her to say something but she only shook her head, knowing that Lucy should be the one thinking of the plan instead of him. Her plans more realistic and logical, unlike Natsu who thinks violence solves everything. She, of course, wants to find Dan and make him be responsible for the child in her arms but she didn't want anything bad happening, after all, he is the father of their child.

Natsu was about to curse out loud until he heard the whining from the small child from Angel's arms, the college student shutting his mouth to stare at the squirming baby.

He walked towards her and stared at the baby in her arms, thinking about this whole situation.

Her toothless smile and happy expression made him rethink his possible situation and a grin make its way up to his face. He grabbed Lucy's hand and pulled her near, his onyx eyes twinkling with excitement.

"Come on, Lucy. We're going on a wild goose chase!"

"B—but I have—"

"You two Angel! All of you, it's time to go on adventure!"

~X~

Natsu drummed his fingers on the bar counter as he sipped on a Jack Daniel, an irritated look plastered on his face.

Of course the day he actually wanted to do something, Lucy had work. And Angel was busy with her studies and Athena; he was the only one that wasn't busy.

Stupid Lucy and Stupid Angel.

Natsu watched as Lucy came behind the counter and placed the drinks that were freshly made on her tray, giving Natsu a sweet smile before disappearing in the crowd again.

For some reason, he didn't like Lucy working here or coming alone. Even though it was in the afternoon and not a lot of people were here, he still didn't like the idea of Lucy being flirted with, touched, or even receiving dirty looks from any other guy. Especially since she had to wear that stupid red skin-tight dress that had the Fairy Tail's name on it.

Natsu sulked as he watched his fiancé go and back forth with the tray, handing people their drinks and briefly, having a conversation or two.

He was lucky she was only working till seven today, or else he would have had to suffer the catcalls and inappropriate comments that came from the men. He was lucky enough the owner of Fairy Tail knew them and gave a salary that was enough but he wasn't so sure he would be able to stay if he picked a fight with someone.

"Natsu, can you please make it look like you don't want to die?"

"Well, I'm sorry that you're busy and I can only drink my alcohol and watch you walk around."

"You're drinking?! Natsu, it's like, 3 in the afternoon!"

"So what?"

Lucy growled as she snatched the drink from his hands, placing it on her tray. "Natsu Dragneel, it is bad to drink during the day. You should go drink a smoothie or something. Ask Kinana to make you one."

"Luucy~ come on! Let's play or something!"

"What are you? Five years old? I have work—go visit Gray or something," Lucy said as she gave the drink back to the bartender who flushed the rest of his Jack Daniel's away. Natsu whimpered as he watched him throw away his drink, turning back to look at Lucy who was staring right back. "How about it, Natsu? You haven't seen Gray in a while,"

"I just saw him yesterday!"

"And that's a while. Go have some male bonding time, will you?"

"But—"

"Go."

Natsu cursed under his breath as he stood up and turned around and started to walk away. Lucy sighed as she waved goodbye, shouting out an, "I love you!" before the grumpy male left the club.

"Your fiancé is really cute. He's like a child," Kinana said making Lucy giggle. "I know."

~X~

Natsu cursed under his breath as he knocked on the door of Gray's apartment; waiting for the fucker he's known since elementary school to open the door. He can practically smell the sweat, sex, and smoke coming from the place.

After all, he's had this apartment since long ago and they always used to smoke in the tiny place together.

Natsu pressed his hand into a fist as he banged on the door again, feeling a bit irritated it was taking too long for him to come answer the door.

"Hey, ice princess, wake up! It's like, four in the afternoon you fucker! Open up!"

Natsu sighed in relief when he heard footsteps from the other side, shoving his hands back in his pocket to watch the door swing open.

His eyes widen when he realized it wasn't Gray.

"Who the fuck are you?"

"Name's Juvia, Natsu-san."

"How do you know my name?!"

"We seen each other a couple of times... Juvia was at your house yesterday, too. Do you not remember me?"

Natsu became silent as he stared at the blue-haired woman, scrunching his face up in confusion.

"Why are you here? Where's the fucker, Gray?"

"Gray-Sama is in the shower right now, would you like to come in?"

Natsu slowly nodded his head and entered the apartment, finding it weird that he didn't remember this Juvia chick very well. Was his memory that bad?

The male went on over to the couch and sat down, looking around the place to notice it didn't change as much as he thought it would. There were a bit more stuff scattered in places and there were boxes here and there, but other than that, it looked like it did years back.

"What brings you here, Natsu-San?"

"Uh, just thought I would pay you guys a visit... haven't seen you guys in a while."

"We saw you yesterday."

"Alright, a certain blonde devil made me come here, alright?" Natsu pouted as he looked away in embarrassment.

Juvia laughed a bit as he looked a bit bashful. "Would you like something to drink?"

"Sure. Anything would be fine, actually."

"Right away,"

Natsu watched as Juvia left and he finally sighed and slumped in his seat. Having her around was having a maid around and that sort of made him feel uncomfortable. He didn't even know why she was still here—was Gray actually settling in for once? Was he actually not going around sleeping with very girl he sees like he used to?

He pursed his lips as he stared at the carpet floor as he thought about what had happened for the past year.

How could a certain someone just turn his whole life so differently?

If he hadn't met Lucy that night, he would probably be still sleeping around with girls and probably end up getting some girl pregnant like what happened to Angel. He would have been as bad as Dan and he was like him, right before he had met Lucy.

His lips pressed into a tight line as he thought about that, clicking his tongue in disapproval.

How could he been so cruel?

"Oh my god—is that Natsu Dragqueen?! It's such a pleasure, like, omg."

Natsu snapped his head to the right to see a half-naked male smirking at him, his lips instantly curling upwards to form a smirk.

"Well, isn't it the male prostitute?"

"I'll let you touch my hand for a 50." Gray said, sticking his hand out and giggling like a school-girl. Natsu snickered and stood up, walking over to him to slap their hands together and give each other a shoulder bump. "Dude, what's with the Juvia chick? She's been sticking around you for a while now,"

"Oh, didn't I tell you this? We're living together,"

Natsu gapped at him as if he said something completely impossible.

"Are you serious? Are you two serious?"

"Well yeah. We've been steady for almost two months now so,"

Natsu grinned and slapped his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around the slightly taller male. "Good going, assface! For a second I thought you were turning gay—"

"Says the guy with pink hair."

"Fucker, it's a lighter shade of red, its cool."

Gray snorted and pulled away from Natsu, placing the towel that was around his neck to place it back on his wet hair. "What are you doing here?"

"Eh, Lucy wanted me to have some male-bonding with you and I was bothering her at Fairy Tail so she forced me to come here,"

"I was going to head out to Fairy Tail today, though. Why don't we just go back now?"

"Fine, but if Lucy yells at me again—I'm blaming you."

"Welcome to Fairy Tail, what could I get you?"

"Can I have two margaritas, please?"

"Sure!"

Lucy flashed a sweet smile before turning around to walk away from the small table. She went back to the counter and gave the bartender the order, sighing to place her elbow on the table and lean against her palm.

"Geez, it's so hot in here."

"Well, what could you expect from a club?"

Lucy smiled at Freed, the new bartender, as he had his hair up in a high pony tail while he worked to get the drinks that were asked for. She liked Freed; he was a gay guy who was a very helpful person that gave great advice. He would make Lucy laugh as the two would make rude comments about people that came. He had a fun personality but sometimes, he would get too serious.

But Lucy liked him, he was nice.

"Ah, I wish it would turn seven already! I'm ready to go home,"

"Ah, Lucy-Chan, you should be enthusiastic about your job. You also look smoking in that dress,"

"Well Freed, I don't want to receive anymore dirty comments or looks from perverted men." Freed scoffed as he place two margaritas on her Tray, clicking his tongue in disapproval. "Lucy, if men look at you like that, it means that you're actually worth looking at! Own that floor!"

Lucy laughed as she drew random shapes on the polished counter, sighing. "I don't know. I have a fiancé and all that—I don't want him to get angry. I mean, I'm not even that attractive!"

"I'm not even that attractive! Says the liar,"

Lucy jumped up in her spot as she felt a pair of arms snake around her waist and hot air breath down her neck, a healthy blush staining her cheeks.

"Aw, what a lovely couple you two make!"

"Hi Freed."

"Good afternoon, Natsu."

"What are you doing back here, Natsu?" Lucy asked as she turned around, wrapping her arms around the male's shoulder. Natsu grinned and leaned in, pressing his lips against her plump pink lips. "Because I wanted to see my lovely fiancé,"

"Aww, how cute." Freed cooed, making Lucy laugh against Natsu's lips. "Freed, are you done with the drinks?! Hurry up so I can get away from this monster! Kyah! Natsu, don't touch me there!"

Natsu laughed as he pressed his lips against hers once more before pulling away, turning around to see Gray and Juvia coming towards them, hand-in-hand.

"Oh, hi Gray and Juvia. What a pleasure seeing you guys here."

"You too. Could I order something to drink?"

"Sure, ask Freed because I have to go give these to the costumers."

Lucy pecked Natsu's cheek before pulling away and walking away from the group, going back to the table that ordered the margaritas. She flashed a cute smile before walking on over to a table that had a single man smoking a cigar. She put on her waitress smile before approaching him, clutching the tray close to her chest.

"Hello sir, what could I get you—"Lucy started to say but stopped when she realized who it was. Her eyes widen in shock as the person turned to look at Lucy, his face also shifting into shock.

"Whoa, look who it is, it's Lucy-Lu."

"D—Dan..."

The blonde waitress gulped as she stared at him for a moment before quickly turning around and dashing for the nearest bathroom. She quickened her pace and ran past Natsu and the others without realizing it, worrying her friends who watched her run off as if she's seen a ghost.

Why was he at Fairy Tail and why was it her who had to see him?

a/n: sorry it's been a while and I'm sorry this is so crappy. I'm running out of ideas and I reeeally have to stop dragging this story for so long. -.-
Thank you for reading and being patient... and watching 1D's movie had seriously made my entire life. :")

Be a dear and review!
