Alright, Third Chapter. Still Writing. This is going to be a long story. It'll take a while to write, but hey, I got lots of time to do so. Anyways, without further ado, here's the next chapter!

It was early in the morning. Natsu woke up, frustrated. Some sound was playing in the room that was really starting to make him angry. What was it? Where was it. Natsu looked over to the round thing on his desk and saw that the beeping noise was coming from it. He slammed his fist down and was about to destroy it when he realized it probably wouldn't be a good idea. Instead, he hit the little button on the top that said, "Snooze." Natsu got up and looked around for things to do. He's gotta start finding people to check wrists with, so he might as well get a head start.

He looked over to a table on the side. He saw a little brown notebook lying on it. He opened it and examined it. It looked like some sort of rule list. He began to scroll through the list.

1. Hello Natsu, if you're reading this, Congratulations! Welcome to Earth! This land is different from your homeland of Earthland because it has absolutely NO MAGIC. ZIPPO! So be careful, you won't want to get caught using yours. Did I mention? Yeah you can use yours. But don't. If you do, people with blue uniforms come in and attack you. They hold up guns at you and they'll take you away if they see you with them. Worst of all, they'll probably make you some sort of weapon to fight other armies with. So don't do that!

2. I don't know how you got here, but there's only one way out. Find the girl. If you don't find her, you're stuck here forever. Don't worry about your friends back home, time passes at the same rate it passes here. So you don't have to worry about anything bad happening. Just be careful, please. Also, I don't know if that voice told you or not, but the whole point of visiting here is to find that girl as you know, but the girl is about your age, just a little younger. I don't know where she is or what her name is, but she's younger than you, but not by more than 3 years. So look for people your age or slightly younger!

3. Speaking on the note of that, you should probably enroll in Magnolia High School! I know it's weird, a town with the name of Magnolia that isn't your Magnolia. Well at least you don't have to call it a new town. When they ask your age, tell them that you were born in X767, instead of X765. Trust me, you're gonna want to lie and say you're seventeen because here the education system ends after the age of 17, unless you go to college, but that's a whole other story. Just sign up at Magnolia High School!

4. Remember, I don't know if the voice told you, but you gotta make sure you don't tell them you are from Earthland. If anyone asks, just tell them that you live on your own and moved here because your friend did. Don't ever give this friend a name though. If anyone asks about this friend, change the subject.

5. Lastly, be careful Natsu. You don't want to get in trouble. I suggest you make friends at Magnolia High School. Listen to what the teachers say, and try to keep your grades above failing. They really don't matter since you're not going to live there, but at least don't screw it up, ok?

-Signed, Master G.

After reading the list, Natsu concluded it was time for breakfast. He looked in the fridge and found some milk. In one of the cabinets above the fridge in his new apartment he found some Lucky Charms [A/N: What hero doesn't love his Lucky Charms?] and put some in a bowl. As he began to pour the milk he started hearing a loud beeping noise. Natsu immediately jumped up, causing milk to spill on the table. When he found out the alarm clock was doing it again, he gave up and went to smash it. As soon as his fist was about to collide with the top of the clock, he saw that there was an "OFF" button. Pushing that, the alarm went off, and hopefully for good.

Natsu was wandering around the street. Where is this Magnolia High School? He began to look around the town, walking up and down the streets in search of the school. People were giving him odd stares, and he began to wonder why. He had no idea that pink hair was uncommon around here, especially for a guy. So Natsu walked down the street, oblivious to his surroundings, looking for the school. Finally, he gave up, and decided to ask for help. When he stopped a lady to ask for help, she pointed him towards the building right behind them. Embarrassed, Natsu said thanks and turned towards the doors.

As he walked into the school, he noticed that a lot of the people there ranged from 2 years to 6 years younger than him. He's not sure what goes on at this place, but he was told to listen to the people at the school. Probably the adults, at least that's what Natsu is going to do. He isn't going to take crap from anyone, but he does need to find this girl that he's told to have been looking all over for.

When Natsu finally got inside, he bumped into a girl. They both fell backwards and began to rub their heads at the same time. The girl spoke up, in a voice Natsu wouldn't ever forget, "I'm soo sorry! I wasn't looking where I was going and I accidentally ran into you! And dang it! My papers are all scattered on the floor." she said, starting to sound a little dejected.

Natsu sat a little confused for a few seconds until he said, "Oh it's not a big deal. I'm kinda new here, so I got no idea where I'm going. Name's Natsu, by the way." Natsu began to help pick up the girl's papers and ended up picking twice as many papers as the girl.

"I'm Lucy, thanks for helping me. If you haven't registered yet it's down the hall and to the left." Lucy said.

"No, I was about to ask, thanks for telling me though!" Natsu as he ran down the hallway all cheered up! Lucy swore she never saw someone as excited about school as him. It was almost as if he had no idea what he was signing up for.

Natsu walked into the room, and went to the office to sign up. As soon as he did, he received his schedule and was on his way. The people asked about his hair, and he explained to them about how it was natural and that he was born with it. He had no idea what he was doing, but he just wanted to get going with it and find out who the girl was who had the glowy-wrist, or so he called it. He decided to head home and wait for school to begin the next day.

The next morning, Natsu walked into school with the school uniform on. It was a simple tie and shirt uniform that most schools have. He didn't like the tie so he made it really loose and decided to wear the scarf over it. To hell with the rules, he thought.

Natsu was cheery that morning. Not only did he not have to wear that stupid outfit for a third day in a row, he found out how to turn the alarm clock off without having it go off a million and a half times. He thought about how smart it was not to break it. As he got to the school, he looked at his first class, English. He found the place after a bit of searching.

Natsu walked in and noticed that there was nobody that he knew. Oh well, he'll know them eventually, Natsu thought. Natsu went to sit in, ended up being one of the middle to arrive. He took his seat in the middle of the room. Behind him was a boy with blond hair, and in front of him a boy with black hair. When the blond haired kid saw him, he immediately said,

"Hey Pinky, what's up. You new here? The name's Sting. My friend in front of you is Rogue, but he doesn't talk that much. We're like brothers, we've known each other for the longest time. But enough about me. You got quite a bit of courage walking into class with pink hair you know that, the teach is gonna be pissed when he sees you." Sting said.

"Oh well it's naturally SALMON, not pink. But I don't give a shit what the teacher says. I don't have control over what color my hair is." Natsu answered.

"Yeah well I can't wait to see what teach says. I haven't seen another person with pink hair like that, you know. Does your whole family have that or something?"

"I don't know my family very well. They died when I was really young. I've been living on my own for a while after my foster father left when I was 10."

"Ouch that's cold. That must suck bro. Anyways, why you wearing that silly scarf, instead of a tie?"

"My foster father gave me it, and it's all I got to remember him by. So I'm going to wear it, regardless of what anyone says. Besides, the tie's on, just underneath the scarf and not really tied." Natsu answered cooly.

"SHUT IT KIDS, I AIN'T GOT TIME FOR YOUR PROBLEMS. IT'S CLASS TIME AND WE'RE HERE TO LEARN. NOW WE GOTTA A NEW KIDDY HERE TODAY, WHY DON'T YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF." the teacher said.

Natsu stood up and introduced himself in three words, "I'm Natsu Dragneel."

"Well I'm your teacher. Got any problems you can forget about it. Why's your hair pink? You trying to stick out?"

"Well it's SALMON and NOT pink. Plus I was born that way. My hair is salmon and I can't do anything about it. So what's the problem?"

Ignoring the question, the teacher said, "Where's your tie, kid?"

"Underneath the scarf." Natsu answered, bluntly.

"I don't remember the scarf being part of the uniform."

"I don't remember giving a shit."

"Do you WANT detention?" the teacher said, full of rage.

"I'd prefer not." With that, Natsu sat down. It seemed as though the teacher had completely forgotten about the scarf.

For the rest of class, Natsu sat silent. He didn't care what the teacher was talking about. All he wanted to do was leave and get on with the day. About 20 minutes into class, Sting tapped his back.

"Yo Natsu you're quite feisty. I like that. I haven't seen another person willing to argue with teacher. You got guts and I respect that. How about you meet me after school underneath the cherry tree. I'll introduce you to my friends."

"Yeah sure, I'll be there." Natsu answered back.

For the rest of the day, Natsu would go to his classes and be questioned by his teachers. He would explain how his pi-SALMON hair was natural and how he wasn't going to take his scarf off. Even though it wasn't the right time of the year to be wearing a scarf. Some of the teachers questioned him about the scarf, calling it silly, and Natsu would mention his foster father and in the end most of the teachers sympathized with him and let him wear it. Still the few that didn't were too tired to do a thing about it. He saw Sting in his 4th and 6th classes and Rogue was in his 3rd and 4th. He saw that girl Lucy that he ran into in the hallway the previous day in his 2nd and 5th period classes. They waved to each other, but neither went up to talk to the other person.

After school, Natsu met up under the cherry tree with Sting and his buddies.

"This guy, you know, is Rogue. He's the silent type, but he's quite fearsome. He's really nice if you get to know him though." Sting said.

"This one's Rufus. I swear the kid has a passion for memorizing. He doesn't care about learning or anything, but if you tell him to memorize something he goes absolutely crazy. He's like a kid in a candy store in a vocabulary book. If you need homework help, he's the best to go to." he continued.

"Alright, this big lug here, his name is Orga. He's really strong so don't mess with him, but he's got a passion for singing. He loves to sing...really loves to sing."

"That's about all of us, I guess you tell us what you're up to." Sting finished.

"Well I'm Natsu Dragneel. When I was 3 years old both my parents were killed and I was left abandoned. Luckily, I ran into Igneel. He raised me as my foster father and taught me almost everything I know. Unfortunately, on July 7, X777, he left without a reason. I roamed around for a while until I finally settled in Magnolia. That's about all there is to me. Oh yeah, and I live on my own right now."

"Sounds like a rough past, I mean that's gotta be rough. Anyways, we can be friends and all, but I want you to do some sort of initiation before you become a member of this group. I know it's kinda cliché, but it's not my stupid idea. You can blame Minerva for it, she's made us do some...challenging things..." Sting trailed off, hoping not to go into detail about the things you're supposed to do.

"Where's Minerva, you didn't mention her before?" Natsu asked.

"Oh yeah! Forgot, see, she's not always here, but she's kinda like a ringleader. 'Long as you get on her good side you should be fine. She's really nice though if you are on her good side, but if you're not... I wouldn't want to be you." Sting said.

"So what am I going to do? And how do I get on her good side?"

"Oh simple! You just gotta do the 'initiation' crap she makes us do. It's really funny for the people who aren't the victims, but I feel bad for you. She usually makes it rough. I talked to her about it during third, and she came up with something truly evil. I hate to say it, but this one's really hard." Sting said, almost apologetically.

"What's it that I gotta do?"

"You have to talk to Lucy Heartfilia for more than 3 minutes." Natsu noticed a strong sense of compassion coming from Sting.

"So what's so difficult about that? Is she really mean or something?"

"Well she's perfectly normal. Actually she's really nice. But no boy has talked to her other than her boyfriend for the longest time. See, when she first came here, she had a hard time fitting in. One person though, Dan Straight, was really nice to her, emphasis on WAS. There's a rumor that he's begun to cheat on her with Sorano Aguria. Anyways, enough about her sob story. If you even TRY to talk to her, her boyfriend will get all up in your face until you leave. If you refuse he'll try to fight you, and he's really strong. He's not anything too difficult, I've whooped his ass a couple of times, but when he gets really pissed, he'll pull out a sword from his locker. Yeah you heard me, A FRICKEN SWORD. SERIOUSLY THE GUY HAS A BLOODLUST OR SOMETHING. One kid got sliced up so bad, he was in the hospital for a week. There wasn't a point in ratting Dan out because Dan's the son of the second wealthiest person in the city and could bail himself out and attack the person who sent him to jail. Dan always threatens anyone who comes near Lucy. He's a psychopath." Sting said.

"Oh sounds like an opportunity to fight! I'M ALL FOR IT!" Natsu cheered. "If that guy thinks he can take me down, he's got another thing coming. I don't care HOW MANY swords he points at me, I'M GONNA WIN!"

As Natsu stormed off in a bright mood, looking for a fight, Rogue asked Sting, "So who's gonna pay the hospital bill? I call not it!" Sting chuckled and said, "That Natsu has quite a bit of confidence, if he pulls this off, I don't think there's a thing he couldn't do." "Yes, yes, his confidence, I've memorized it completely." Rufus butted in. "STOP IT WITH THE MEMORIZING ACT, SERIOUSLY, IT'S CREEPY" Orga shouted at Rufus. He didn't realize that he has a REALLY loud voice, and Rufus was left with ringing ears for the next couple of minutes.

"Best of luck, Dragneel. You're definitely going to need it." Sting said, worried about his new friend. He added, "I really should speak to Minerva about these. Just because she doesn't want another person in the group doesn't mean she needs to get them killed."

With that, the Sabertooth gang dispersed and headed home in their own directions.
