I raised an eyebrow at Natsu who was laying flat on the train floor. I crossed my arms as a conductor approached my pink-haired accomplice. "Um, Excuse me sir." The conductor said.

"Natsu! We made it to Hargeon!" Happy exclaimed. "Come on, get up!"

"Is he alright?"

"He's fine, this happens every time he rides." I sighed, "Stop being such a baby Natsu. You need to learn how to handle motion sickness."

"Never...I'm never riding a stupid train again." Natsu groaned before his cheeks puffed. Natsu moved so he was hanging out a window.

"If our information correct, then we should find that Salamander somewhere in this town." Happy announced as the two of us turned to Hargeon. "Let's go!" Happy and I got off the train. My eyes scanned the people around us.

"Just give me a second, would 'ya?" I turned as I heard the train engine start. "No!" Natsu cried as the train left the station. I let my head fall into my hand as the train faded into the distance.

"Uh, oh...there he goes…" Happy commented.

"Happy, go get him." I sighed, "I'll wait here for you." Happy caught up to the train and flew Natsu back to Hargeon. Natsu trudged along behind me as we walked through the streets of Hargeon. As Natsu paused to lean on a wall, I inspected my outfit in the window of a building beside us. I brushed the dirt off my black skirt and adjusted the collar of my black shirt. I made sure my white bowtie was secure, letting two little pieces under it fall down. My black tights had no holes in them and my black heels were strapped tightly to my feet. My blonde hair was pulled back out of my face with the black bow my father gave me when I was a child.

"Ugh, man. I wound up riding the train twice." Natsu complained when we continued to walk.

"Grow up, you're not on a train anymore." I scolded.

"You have gotta get over that motion sickness." Happy told us.

"'I'm so hungry I could eat my hand." Natsu added.

"You don't have money for food Natsu." I reminded him.

"Hey, Happy? Yami? This Salamander were looking for is gotta be Igneel right?"

"Aye!" Happy replied, "It has to be because the only Fire Dragon I ever heard of is Igneel."

"That's true."

"Then he can tell me where my father is." I stated, crossing my arms, "That selfish, ungrateful-" I was cut off by a scream.

"Salamander!" A girl cried.

"You're so dreamy!" Another shouted.

"It's so hot!" A third exclaimed. Natsu and Happy looked at each other.

"Salamander?!" The boys shouted. They started to run towards the girls. I scoffed and followed behind slowly.

"Well speak of the devil!" Natsu said. "Were in luck today guys!"

"Aye!" Happy cheered. Natsu was unable to get close to the person in the front, too kind to push away the girls. I rolled my eyes as I pushed my way through the crowd, ignoring the protests from the other females, Natsu behind me with Happy on his shoulder.

"Igneel!" I barked, shoving my way to the front. "Show yourself!"

"Igneel, it's me!" Natsu cried. When we got to the centre, all we saw was a man in a purple cape.

"Who the heck are you?" Natsu and I asked in unison.

"Who am I?" The man in the purple cape asked hysterically. "I am Salamander, surely you've heard of me before." I scoffed and started to walk away. "Hey! Wait a minute!" Soon Natsu and I were trampled by fangirls who were shouting about how cool Salamander was.

"What is it with these Fangirls!" I complained as they pinned us down.

"Now, now lovelies, let them go. I'm sure the poor children didn't mean anything malicious by it." The fangirls then turned to Salamander. He signed a piece of paper and handed it to Natsu. "Here's my autograph kid, now you can brag to all your friends." Salamander then turned his eyes on me, "And you, my little lady can have the pleasure of a kiss."

"No thanks." Natsu and I droned. The fangirls threw us into the trash.

"Guess it wasn't him after all." Happy commented.

"You think." I growled. We sat up and stared as Salamander used fire to fly away. "Who the hell was that guy anyway?"

"I don't know but he was a real creep." A voice said from behind us. I looked behind me to see a blonde girl, about 17 with big brown eyes. She was wearing a blue and white shirt with a blue mini skirt and is also wearing knee-high brown boots. She also had a whip and a key pouch hanging off her belt. My heart skipped a beat, she was gorgeous. She gave us a wave. "Thank you for your help!" She had the sweetest scent, vanilla and...something else...The girl was nice enough to treat us to lunch. Natsu and I ate like our lives depended on it, plates piling up beside us. "My name's Lucy. It's nice to meet you."

"Aye!" Happy said.

"Uh, Natsu, Happy and Yami was it?"

"That's what we said, wasn't it?" I growled, my face full of food.

"You can slow down, we're not in a hurry. And food is kind of flying everywhere. Evidently, that Salamander guy was using Magic, a charm spell to hypnotise the ladies in town to thinking they were in love with him. Charm spells have the power to attract people to you against their own will. But they've been banned for years, nobody even sells them anymore! He must have got through a lot of trouble to get his hands on it, what a creep. I totally fell victim to his spell but I snapped out of it thanks to you two barging in when you did. I really can't thank you guys enough."

"No problem." Natsu said with his mouth full.

"I may not look like it but, I'm a wizard too!"

"Is that so?"

"Yeah, but I haven't joined a guild or anything. Oh, I should probably explain, huh?" I guess she doesn't know who we are. I didn't have it in my heart to tell her otherwise. Something deep within me made me listen to her. "See, Guilds are organisations where Wizards come together to share information and find work and things like that. Unfortunately, you aren't considered a full-fledged Wizard until you become a member of a guild. But there are tons of them all over the world, I heard it's really tough to get into the more popular ones and the Guild I wanna join is the most popular one there is! They're the greatest and they're always featured in Sorcerer Weekly! Oh, if I could actually convince them to let me in I think I'd just about die! Oh, I'm sorry, I guess all this Wizarding talk must sound like a bunch of gibberish to you, huh? But I'm telling you, I'm definitely going to join that Guild someday. Then I'm going to take all kinds of exciting jobs and make tones of money."

"Really?" I asked sarcastically.

"You talk a lot." Happy commented.

"Oh man, I almost forgot, you guys came here to find somebody, didn't you?" Lucy asked.

"We're looking for Igneel!" Happy told her.

"We heard a rumour that a Salamander was going to be in this town today." I explained, crossing my arms. "We came down here to see him but he wasn't the person we were looking for. Turns out he was a big fat phony."

"Yeah, that guy didn't look like a salamander at all."

"No kidding." Natsu agreed, "I bet that poser can't even breathe fire like a real Dragon."

"Uh, I don't get it." Lucy admitted, "Your friend Igneel looks like a dragon?"

"No, Igneel doesn't just look like a dragon, he is a real Dragon."

"Huh?"

"Aye! Igneel is a real-life Fire Dragon!" Happy chirped.

"Why would a Fire Dragon show up in the middle of town!" Lucy shouted. I paused, how dumb was I. Dragons are massive, why would a massive Dragon show up in a fishing town? "It's totally ridiculous!" Lucy placed down some jewel on the table, "Well, I should get going." Lucy stood and started to walk out of the restaurant. "Enjoy the rest of your lunches and maybe I'll see you around." Natsu and Happy got onto the floor and bowed down.

"Thank you for the food!" Natsu shouted.

"Thank you!" Happy cried.

"Cut it out your embarrassing me!" Lucy exclaimed. "Look, it's cool. You guys helped me out earlier so let's just call it even."

"I feel bad though because we weren't even trying to help her." Natsu said to Happy.

"Aye, we owe her something." Happy added.

"Oh, I know!" Natsu handed Lucy the signature he got from Salamander. "Here, this is for you!"

"NO WAY!" Lucy shouted.

TIMESKIP

It was night. Natsu, Happy and I were resting after the huge eat. "That was quite a meal, right guys?" Natu asked, leaning on the railing.

"Aye." Happy agreed.

"Lucy was very kind." I muttered. "Despite how obnoxious you were."

"Hey look, do you think that's the boat where that Salamander is having his party?" Natsu's cheeks puffed.

"I'm gonna hurl." He groaned.

"Oh come on, it's not like we're going aboard or anything."

"Oh my gosh! That's Salamander's yacht isn't it?!" I heard a girl ask. I looked over to see three girls staring at the boat at sea.

"I wish I could have gone to his party." Another admitted.

"Who's Salamander?" A third asked.

"Woah, you've never heard of him?" The first questioned. "He's a super famous wizard that's in town right now!"

"Yeah, and he's a member of Fairy Tail!" The second one revealed. My face hardened.

"Fairy Tail…?" I trailed off. Natsu looked out to the boat and his cheeks puffed again. I stared at the boat with narrowed eyes. "He claims to be in Fairy Tail?" I muttered angrily, "We'll see about that." I concentrated my magic on the soles of my feet and launched myself up into the air alongside Natsu who was being carried by Happy. Happy dropped Natsu onto the boat next to me as I crashed through the roof.

"Hey, I know you!" Lucy said. The boat rocked and I heard Natsu groan again.

"This was a bad idea." He groaned.

"You are so lame!"

"Hey, what are you doing here Lucy?" Happy asked,

"Oh, Happy, this jerk tricked me, he said he was going to get me into Fairy Tail. Hold up, since when did you have wings?"

"I'll explain that later ok?" Happy said. He wrapped his tail around Lucy's waist and he flew away from the ship. "Hold on!"

"After them!" Salamander ordered. "We can't let them report this to the Magic Council! Prominence Whip!" Salamander shouted. Purple flames erupted from his hands and shot towards Lucy and Happy who quickly dodged.

"That cat's quicker than he looks." A goon commented.

"Did you honestly forget about us?" I asked, stepping forward. Natsu was breathing heavily, his motion sickness getting to him. "You claim to be in the Fairy Tail Guild?" I crossed my arms. Suddenly, a huge wave appeared, sweeping the boat to shore. Natsu stood and stretched on the ruins of the boat.

"So, you claim to be a member of the Fairy Tail Guild?" Natsu asked.

"So, what's it to you?" Salamander questioned. "Go get 'em, men."

"Sir." Some of Salamanders henchmen replied.

"Let us get a closer look at your face." Natsu shed his jacket. Two of 'Salamanders' men ran up to us.

"Watch out!" Lucy cried. When the two men ran up to us, I jumped, lifted my leg and kicked them away. I spun in the air, landing on my feet, one hand gently touching the floor while the other was in the air. Natsu had shed his coat, revealing the Fairy Tail Guild Mark on his shoulder.

"My name is Natsu." He started, "And this is Yami."

"We're both Fairy Tail Wizards, and I've never seen your face before." I growled.

"That mark on his arm." One of Salamander's men whimpered, "This guy's the real deal, Bora."

"Don't call me that you fool!" Bora, formerly known as Salamander, cried.

"We have no idea what you're trying to do here buddy." Natsu said as we advanced.

"And I don't care if your good, bad, whatever." I added. "But I won't let you stain the good name of Fairy Tail!"

"And what are you gonna do about it?" Bora questioned, "Stop me? Promonice Typhoon!" Bora shot fire towards us. We stood there as the flames engulfed us.

"Eugh! This is so gross!" Natsu complained,

"The Ethernano in this magic is weak." I added, helping Natsu consume the fire.

"Are you sure your really a Fire Wizard? These are the nastiest flames I've ever tasted!" Natsu said as we continued to slurp up the flames. "But, thanks for the grub poser."

"What's going on here!" Bora shouted, "Who are these kids!"

"Now I've got fires in my belly that's raging to get out!" Natsu exclaimed. We took a deep breath, "Fire Dragon!"

"Black Dragon!" I continued.

"ROAR!" We shouted. I made a pipe with my hands, placing my mouth at the base. A jet of inky black magic shot from my clenched hands, encased by Natsu's red flames. All of Bora's men were burnt to a crisp. However, Bora himself had used his magic to create a pedestal for himself so he wasn't injured.

"Hey, Bora!" One of his lackeys groaned, "I swear I've seen these guys before. The pink hair, and the scaly-looking scarf? There's no doubt about it, he's gotta be the real one!"

"Salamander!" Lucy gasped.

"And the girl! Those cold blue eyes, dressed in black, she must be the Shadow."

"I hope you guys were paying attention!" Natsu shouted. Red flames surrounded his fists whereas a black, inky substance encased my fists.

"Because this is what a true Fairy Tail wizard can do!" I added.

"Here we come!" We exclaimed as we dashed towards Bora.

"Red Shower!" He shouted. Little balls of purple flames rained down on us. We dodged them and then used our magic to propel ourselves up to Bora. We kicked him down and he crashed into a building. We landed on a house opposite him. "Hell Prominence!" Bora shot a beam of magic that destroyed some of Hargeon, completely missing us. Bora threw a large concentrated ball of flames at us. Natsu and I stopped it with our hands and then we sucked up the fire.

"Now that was a hefty meal." Natsu stated.

"You're not so bad at Magic." I added,

"But we're about to cook you like a smoked fish!"

"Your gonna do what to me?!" Bora exclaimed.

"Get ready. Fire Dragon!"

"Black Dragon!" I continued.

"Iron Fist!" We shouted. Natsu and I shot towards Bora and punched him square across the face. Once we landed back on the floor, we looked around.

"Oh man." I muttered, "We overdid it…" I then heard the sound of footsteps and looked towards the sound. I saw a group of men with spears and sheilds.

"The Army?!" Lucy asked. I grabbed her hand and dragged her behind me as we ran.

"Let's go!"

"Where the heck are you taking me?!"

"Just, continue running! You said you wanted to join Fairy Tail right?"

"So let's go!" Natsu said. Lucy's face broke out into a grin.

"Alright!" She cheered, running alongside us.
