Authors' notes: Here it is my next chapter and it's all coming out of my head much faster than I thought it would. Just a reminder to anyone that might not know I don't own fairy tail.
Chapter Three
Meeting the gang
Lucy's POV:
I don't think I had ever packed a suitcase that fast, not even when I left home. I looked down at my bed and eyed my handy work, two very stuffed suitcases and my messenger bag, I then wiped my brow and looked at the clock, I still had over an hour before the train left and I was in desperate need of a shower. I grabbed the clothes I was going to change into before we left and rushed into the bathroom for the quickest shower in the history of showers. I then brushed my teeth, slipped on my jeans and my skull bunny t-shirt and gathered my toiletries before exiting my bathroom for the last time, only to see Natsu sitting on my couch eating a bagel. My mouth fell open as I asked,
"How did you get back in here?" He just smirked and said through a mouthful of food,
"I swiped your key." Which he then pulled out of his hoodie pocket, along with the lighter that I had taken from him earlier, how had he managed to lift both of those items without me knowing? I crossed my arms over my chest as I asked; "Are you some kind of klepto or something?" he just shrugged as he popped the last of his bagel into his mouth. He then said after swallowing,
"Only when needed." I rolled my eyes and looked over at my clock for the last time as I said,
"We should probably head to the station now." He nodded in agreement walked to my bed and grabbed one of my suitcases to which be asked,
"Geez what did you put in here bricks?" I shook my head and said,
"That one has the Xbox and all of my games, if you break any of it I will break your face, understand?" He just gulped loudly has he mumbled to himself,
"You just turned into mini Erza for a second." I just rolled my eyes at him and shoved my toiletries into my messenger bag along with my dirty clothes and slug it over my shoulder and grabbed the remaining suitcase on the bed and just as I reached for my guitar Natsu grabbed it and slung it over his shoulder as he said, "Don't worry I got this too, and I won't break it." I nodded and smiled at him; he then nodded his head toward the white bag on my kitchen counter and said, "I got you a bagel while I was out. You should eat it because it's a long ride to Magnolia." He then rubbed his stomach like it hurt and be began to walk out of the door. I opened the bag to see what kind of bagel I got and gawked at it, he had unknowingly gotten me my favorite French toast flavored bagel which I instantly pulled from the bag and shoved into my mouth. I then heard Natsu's voice ask me, "Is it good?" I looked up to see him watching me and nodded as I smiled through my bagel, he just laughed as he hit the lights and I said goodbye to my apartment and my life in Hargeon.
Natsu's POV:
Why did we have to take the train? Oh yeah that's right, it's the quickest way back to Magnolia and really it didn't matter what kind of transportation it was, I always felt sick. I groaned as the train pulled away from the station and held my stomach as I closed my eyes trying to imagine a nice flat piece of land that was very stable which was very hard to do when I heard the person that was sitting across from me giggle, which caused me to grumble out, "It's not funny Luce." It was then that I chanced a look at her and she was trying very hard to control her smile as she said,
"I know, I just find it funny that you rode all the way here to confront that fake you when trains make you this sick." I sighed and let my head hit the back of the seat,
"I tend to act before I think and it's not just trains, it's pretty much anything that moves." I could hear the worry in her voice as she asked,
'And nothing helps?" I just shook my head, which I quickly regretted because it made me feel like the train was moving more. I let out another groan as I said,
"Man this sucks." Just then I felt Lucy sit in the seat beside me she turned me head gently with her hands as she said,
"Open your eyes." I closed them tighter, because I knew that she was sitting by the window and if I opened them to look at her I was going to see the world flying by me and I knew that if I saw that then I was defiantly going to puke. When I didn't open them fast enough for her liking Lucy then pinched my nose, which caused my obsidian eyes to fly open and there were or big brown one right in front of me. There was no moving world there was just Lucy and she smiled at me and said,
"I think that you should tell me what your favorite movie is Natsu." I couldn't help but smile at her as I half whispered,
"Army of Darkness." She couldn't help but smile as she said,
"I'm more of an Evil Dead 2 girl myself, oh and the musical is hilarious." My eyes widened,
"There's a musical?" She nodded,
"Once I get a new place you'll have to come over and watch it." I slowly nodded my head forward once and we both laughed and continued to talk movies and about anything else that crossed our minds for the next four and a half hours.
Lucy's POV:
Once the train had stopped I could see the color begin to return to Natsu's cheeks as he took a deep breath and said,
"Let's quickly get off of this thing before it decides to move again." I just laughed as we grabbed my stuff and I followed him off the train and out of the station and asked,
"So where to now?" He pulled his phone out of his pocket and dialed a number, and then he was talking to the mysterious phone person,
"Hey Ice Princess, are you guys all at the guild?" That was it, there was no hello, no goodbye, just that and then he ended the call and placed his phone back in his pocket and looked over at me, "We are meeting the gang at the guild." I arched my eyebrow and asked,
"What's the guild?" He began to walk and I followed as he said,
"It's this bar that we play in a lot and it's sorta become our headquarters over the years." I eyed him skeptical and asked,
"Aren't you underage?" He just waved me off,
"Only by a few months now, and Gramps doesn't really care as long as we don't drink there."
"Gramps?" Natsu chuckled,
"Yeah the owner is this old guy that sorta took us all in as kids and became a surrogate grandfather to us all." I just after him with wide eyes as I followed him into said bar, we were immediately greeted with loud shouts and when I say we I mean Natsu was, he wasn't kidding about spending a lot of time here, it seemed as if he knew everyone. Natsu waved and said his hellos as he led me to a table near the middle of the hall and said, "Guys this is Lucy, Lucy these are the guys." He then pointed to the scarlet haired girl sitting to the left and said, "This is Erza, she plays the bass, and is super scary when she's mad." Erza looked up at me and smiled as she said,
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lucy." He then turned to the guy sitting across from Erza and I asked him softly before he could talk,
"Is there a reason why that guy is naked?" Natsu turned and looked at his friend again and sighed,
"Grey, clothes." Grey looked down at himself and sighed,
"I'm on it." I looked up at Natsu and asked,
"Does he do that often?" Natsu ran his fingers through his hair and said,
"It's something he does, when he's comfortable or nervous, he never really explained the why it's just something that he does." I just nodded and looked over at the guy sitting right in front of us who wasn't paying us any attention at all as Natsu said, "And that is Gajeel, he plays the drums and is usually rude but deep down he's a softy." I watched the man before me glare at Natsu with these intense red eyes and then flip him off, he then turned to me and said,
"Welcome to the Fairy Tail bunny girl." He then stood up and walked towards the bar where he began talking with a very tiny blue haired girl who blushed crimson when he put his arm around her shoulder. Natsu then bumped my shoulder with his as he said softly.
"Yeah, Luce welcome to Fairy Tail."
