How was every ones' Thanksgiving? Well my family does different things for Thanksgiving so everyone was busy…I also had to stay awake till 12:30am because the mall opened and it was black Friday. I was soooooooo tired! I can't even move! Well except to type…DISCLAIMER TIME!

Chapter 10: That Idiot

Natsu's POV.

"WHAT?!" They said, definitely surprised at my answer, I grin. I leapt off the rock I was sitting on and crossed my arms at their wonder- struck faces.

I stuck my tongue out and brought my finger to my bottom eyelid. "Just kidding" And their mouths dropped opened sort of like a fish.

"HAHAHA! You thought I would get the dragons and Princess killed?!" I laughed loudly

"Natsu-san you weren't actually serious?" Sting managed, afraid about what I was going to say.

"Of course I wasn't serious!" I laughed again "You guys should know I would never get anyone killed" Sting and Rogue looked relieved but their expressions turned grim. I think I stalled them a little too long… I stopped my laughter and sat on the rock again, crossing my legs.

"Then what is your real answer this time Natsu-san" Rogue said making sure I won't say something stupid. "You know Jose-sama doesn't like to wait…" Sting crossed his arms, acting serious, which was unlike him. A picture of them smiling at me, with tears on the corners of their eyes when I showed them to the Dragon's Den. Wait, why am I still comparing them as they were before? They'd changed, why can't I let go of the past?… Maybe I'm too stubborn like that…

"Alright I have a preposition for you two"

At the Guild

Gray's POV

That idiot… I clutched the paper until it was crumpled up, I ran through the hallways of the guild searching for a particular person. Happy was way behind me, probably still sobbing when he gave me the piece of paper in my hands. That idiot flame head, tabasco freak, idiotic shithead, I can think of many insults to say to him by the way, I have millennium. My eyes came upon a door and my hand rushed to grab the knob. The door slams open.

I panted heavily; the sounds of Happy's sobs came louder as he approached. There were more than one person in the room and they were all in their pajamas. I feel my face turn red as all the girls turned at me. I was interrupting a girl's pajama party… I feel my legs shake as a scarlet-haired girl glared at me whiles the other ladies kya-ed. The owner of the room covered her brown eyes with shock and screamed with the rest of the girls.

"Gray-sama!" Juvia squeaked turning red. Is she sick?

"Gray why are you here, naked!?" Erza pulls an iron pipe from god knows where and holds it out menacingly. "Would you stop shaking and find your clothes?!" Her red hair shading her eyes.

I stop quivering as I process why the girls are shielding their eyes. It takes a few seconds for me to realize… "WHERE ARE MY CLOTHES!?" I scream.

"HOW DO WE KNOW!?" the girls screamed back still blocking their eyes from me. Damn why does this always happen to me? My teacher Ul taught me and a guy named Lyon, to withstand the cold by taking off our clothes in the ridiculous cold weather and I admit it has become an habit. Ur… is now gone but I still honor her teachings even if my stripping are caused by her teachings. Oh! And Lyon, He is from a nearby guild called Lamia Scale; they take care of Clover where one of Jose's subordinates, who still follows him, is Monsieur Sol. (Juvia and Gajeel are not in there anymore) The rest of the cities are also attacked by Jose's other underlings and it took us a while to tell Lucy that. That's probably she invited the other girls to her room. Or maybe because me and the demon with the scary aura told her about Natsu being the person she played with back then. I felt guilty but she deserved to know the truth and besides Natsu looked like he was going to kill himself when Lucy talked about Sting being her fake hoodie. It's not like I care about him or anything like that! I finally found my clothes and I entered the room.

Happy was up against Lucy's big-*ahem* chest and was crying louder than before. The girls surrounded them; there was Levy, Juvia who is eyeing me weirdly…, the monster (AKA Erza), Bisca, Laki, Evergreen, Wendy, Carla and Mira.

"Happy. What's wrong?" Lucy asked worried, not even caring if the little boy is attached to her chest. Happy's words are hidden in his uncontrollable sobs. I stepped up and hold out the piece of parchment.

"What's this Gray?" The blonde princess looked at the paper as she caressed Happy's blue hair. I motioned my head toward the paper indicating her to read it.

"It's that idiot…"I told her, I handed the paper to her and she took it in her hands.

"You mean Natsu?" She flattened the paper since I clutched it too hard which caused wrinkles in it. Lucy skimmed through the letter, the other pajama wearing girls crowded around her reading the paper too. I read the letter and all I could think about how stupid that lizard breath is. I remember the exact words he wrote on the parchment. I looked at the paper once more, on the paper says…

Hey everyone!

If Happy is running around sobbing and people called me an idiot, then I already left. I'm sorry to you, Erza that I left without telling you guys but…I really have to do this alone. Don't worry I'm not letting Princess go again so I have another plan. Heads up, I may not come back so take care of Princess for me master, Happy, Erza, Ice freak, everyone…

P.S Sorry Princess for leaving you, for breaking our promise again, hope you don't hate me for not telling you about me being Hoodie…I'll explain someday.

Sincerely the one and only,

Natsu Dragne-

Lucy's tears landed on his signature, blotching Natsu's last name. Erza looked furious like she would take out her pipe again. What was the idiot going to do?

Erza's POV

Natsu…You always have a knack of making me want to beat you senseless. I looked over at Lucy who was crying like Happy. Does everything Natsu do is make Lucy cry? And what does he mean by he may not come back? I exquipped into my regular heart cruxed armor, somehow that makes me calm. I told or should I say I ordered the girls to take care of Lucy except Wendy. I grabbed Gray and the medic by their arms, I dragged them outside. Once we got out of Lucy's room, I shouted more orders.

"Go find Gajeel!" I shouted to Gray who somehow is missing his shirt. "AND go find your shirt!" Gray yelped as he can't find his clothing. I turned to Wendy.

"Can you track Natsu's scent?" The dark blue-haired girl nods confidently "I'll do my best Erza-san" She replies. Soon enough there was Gray pulling Gajeel to where Wendy and me were. His eyes were half shut since he usually sleeps till noon. He stumbled toward us drowsily.

"Why the hell?! Did you wake me up woman?!" He groaned. I grabbed him by his collar. "Go smell Natsu's scent; we have to find him before he does something stupid!"

"Salamander does stupid things everyday" He groaned more, not affected by the collar grabbing.

"Well this time it's stupider than what he does every day!" I let go of his collar while he reluctantly sniffed the air like Wendy.

Suddenly their faces looked confused. "What's wrong?" I asked them.

"We can't smell Natsu-san…"Wendy quietly concluded. My eyes widened "Impossible! Dragon slayers can smell better than anyone!"

"Well somehow we can't smell him. He probably hid his scent" Gajeel sighed. "How did he get to learn that so fast and I can't?! Why is he always the first one to learn these things!" he said to himself. "I told you Metallica!" He shouted to the ceiling.

"Wait what did he learn?" I asked him, Wendy and Gajeel turned to me. Gray looked interested as well.

"Natsu-san learned Dragio scent" Wendy said. Gajeel folded his arms and *tsk*

"Can you explain in further detail?" I asked, wondering what Natsu did.

"Well… Natsu-san used Dragio scent to hide his scent from us in case we go searching for him. Dragio scent is used to hide a dragon slayer's scent in case of emergencies and only a few can learn it from dragons. I think Igneel-sama taught him that because Natsu-san has a particularly stronger scent than me and Gajeel-san…" Wendy looked down as ashamed.

"Natsu has a stronger scent than you guys? How about Sting and Rogue?" Curious if the two boys that Natsu befriended are stronger than him.

"Sting-san and Rogue-san have the regular scent like me and Gajeel-san…" Wendy answered, which makes me calm down.

"The dragons realized Salamander and us would attract enemies so for emergencies they taught us extreme techniques to help us defend and attack" Gajeel added more information. "These techniques would take years to finished but for some damn reason! Salamander learned most of the attacks and defenses in 6 months!" Gajeel started stomping on the ground, aggravated. "I only learned the basics of the secret dragon attacks and level 2 techniques and he's at level 5!"

"Gajeel-san, I'm only on level 1, I only know the basics of a roar and small attacks…" Wendy said trying to calm the insane metal dragon slayer. Gray chuckled behind me at Gajeel's gestures. But I need to figure out where the idiot is…

I got it! Natsu told us when we were at the village's alley. Was it the old road? But I don't know where that is… another idea popped in my head, the scent…Sting's and Rogue's scent! They don't have the same scent like Natsu's so can Wendy and Gajeel smell them?

"Wendy! Gajeel! Smell out Sting and Rogue GOO!" they flinched but they sniffed the air.

"I can smell them in the west" Gajeel said and looked at Wendy for confirmation, she nodded.

"So we're heading east, show us the way" I told them. We came out of the guild to see the green pine trees that surround the guild. A gust of wind blew and Wendy and Gajeel stiffened. They sniffed the air and their heads snapped to the direction east. They looked confused, they sniffed the air again and this time their faces were filled with shock. Didn't they say Sting and Rogue's in the west? Why are they looking at east?

"N-no way…" Wendy stammered. Gajeel starts to tremble.

"Did something happen to Natsu!?" Gray asked. But the two dragon slayers started running toward the wrong direction where Natsu is. Me and Gray ran to catch up but they ran faster. Where were they going? Couldn't they wait for us to catch up? We've entered the woods and zigzagged through different trees and stones. For some apparent reason they kept on running.

"We're going the wrong way!" I shouted them, hoping they would stop running but they didn't. Tears were streaming Wendy's face including Gajeel's. But they don't look sad, they looked overjoyed. We came upon an opening. Wendy and Gajeel leapt into…

Dragons…

"GRANDINE!" Wendy ran to a white scaled dragon who draped its wing over her while the little dragon slayer cried.
"METALLICA!" Gajeel ran to the black dragon and he was manly so he didn't cry…much.

Me and Gray mouths gaped opened. The dragons are here. That's impossible; Jose had them locked up if they're here… That means Natsu traded Lucy for them… We have to go back.

"Gray, Wendy, Gajeel! We have to go back!" I shouted them. They looked confused but Gray understood. Natsu has agreed to Jose's order. I quickly exquipped into my flight armor, I need to get to the guild as fast as I can. Because Lucy…Lucy might not be there…

Lucy's POV

"Do you think Wendy should be back right now?" A short girl with white long girl asked me.

"Don't worry too much Carla it's bad for your health" I told her and she sighed.

Happy's sobs have turned into sniffles. I know I probably looked worse. My blond hair is in clumps and my brown eyes must be red from all the crying. Natsu…I should've known you were my Hoodie…Sting messed up calling me Princess, of course he couldn't be Hoodie. But are Sting and the dark-haired man which I was told was named Rogue, our enemies? I was told that 12 years ago Natsu brought them to a place called Dragon's Den and they weren't separated once…Does Natsu consider them as an enemy despite those times? All I know is, the enemy is Jose and he has my father captive.

"Lucy? Luucy?" A voice calls out to me. I was so distracted I didn't hear what Carla said. I looked up to her face which looked concerned. Her eyes suddenly widened and something in her eyes changed but a second later changed back.

"What's with the face Carla? I told you it's bad for your health" I smiled when she pouted but looked unsure. Suddenly, Mira walked toward me, by the way we all changed into our casual clothes. "Lucy honey, are you feeling all right?"

"Of course I'm fine! Why made you say that?" I said.

"Well you looked distant for a while, are you thinking about Natsu?" She asked, using her motherly instinct on me. I looked down at Happy's sleeping body.

"Maybe…"I answered.

"That's soo SWEET!" Mira squealed in delight and her eyes sparkled. I jumped back. Happy stirred in his sleep but he didn't wake up. "What do you mean Mira?!" I asked her.

"You love Natsu!" She squealed, clasping her hands together. "Who loves Natsu?" Levy came up to us. More girls came up to me, Mira, and Carla.

"No one-"I started but Mira interrupted me.

"Lucy LOVES Natsu!" Mira told them. They all squealed.

"Lu-chan you love Natsu? That's great!" Levy squealed just as loud as Mira.

"Invite me to your wedding!" Laki joined Levy and Mira.

"But not that way…"I finally said.

"You don't love Natsu?" the girls quieted down and frowned.

"Well…I'm not sure…" the words just came out of my mouth without my permission and the girls started giggling again.

Just then the door of my room slammed open again. Erza came in panting in her flight armor. Gray came tumbling in after her in only in his boxers.

"What's wrong Erza? Gray?" I asked.

"Y-you're here Lucy? But…" Erza stammered which was unlike her. Gray looked at me in shock, does I look that bad.

"Jose didn't take you? He didn't come? But Natsu…" Erza started.

"Natsu...did what?" I asked, now curious about what they were trying to say.

"We thought Natsu traded you for the Dragon's Den…" Gray said still shocked. My eyes widened at his answer. They thought Natsu traded me for Igneel? But if he did trade me then why am I here?

"We have to go" I stood up and laid Happy on my bed. Then Wendy and Gajeel came panting in.

"Let's go, show me to Natsu" I told them. Gajeel groaned "What?! We just came here and we have to go back outside again?!"

"Take us to Natsu!" Erza grabbed Gajeel and threw him to a wall. Wendy quickly dashed outside to show us the way and Gajeel catching up to her. I ran to follow them, Erza and Gray at each side of me. We ended up at a dirty dusty road where we see a couple of figures.

There standing between Sting and Rogue was the pink-haired teen. Natsu… He looked at the group.

"Well I see happiness in Wendy's and Gajeel's eyes so you saw your dragons" Natsu said to wonderstruck dragon slayers, grinning at us. Rogue and Sting stood near Natsu almost protectively. What was going on?

"Natsu…"I said quietly. He noticed me "Princess you're here too?" He said casually.

"What the hell are you doing Natsu?!" Erza shouted to him. "Did you agree to Jose's order to exchange Lucy?!"

"Of course not!" Natsu answered back at her." I will never do that!"

"T-then what did you do?" Gray asked, stammering. Natsu's pink locks covered his eyes but he smiled.

"I'm…going to join Jose"
