"Ya know, I really don't get how you roped us into this." The dark haired male said as he threw a heavy bag that looked like it was suited for camping over the barbed wire fence that had a sign that said in big red letters 'NO TRESPASSING!' This is illegal. Gray thought, but jumped the fence anyway.

"C'mon Ice Princess, don't act like your not excited." The pink-haired male said as he watched his brother-figure/nemesis from the other side of the fence with the bag that was just thrown over it. Natsu grinned as he saw Gray unable to retort, only letting out a scoff. He dropped to the ground expertly and then took the bag from the other male.

"I would be lying to say that I am not excited also. It is quite thrilling." Erza Scarlet, a beautiful scarlet-haired girl said as she jumped next to them with ease. The soft smile on her face quickly vanished as she glared at the two. "If we get caught, don't be surprised when I maim you. I can't have this going on my record because of your stupid list." Natsu looked like he was about to retort, but a more fierce glare from Erza made him shut right up. Gray had to hold in his laugh.

"I still d-don't think that this is a good idea." Another voice said as she also jumped the fence with ease, being the head of the gymnastics team. He golden hair was tied in a high ponytail that flew in the strong wind that washed over the harbor. Her chocolate brown eyes were wide and aware and her breathing was quick and erratic.

"Calm down, Luce. It's gonna be fine." Natsu said as he swung his muscular arm over his best friend's shoulder. Lucy didn't look convinced, but she nodded anyway. She could have been doing much better things right now, like reading the new novel that Levy had just gotten her, or practicing her gymnastics. But no, her stupid but lovable best friend had to bring her into this.

~Flashback: Three days before~

"Aha!" The pink-haired idiot screamed from inside his house as he emerged from his room.

It was the middle of July of the four teen's summer vacation. Gray and Erza were playing Smash Bros on Natsu's couch, Erza having a crazy look in her eye, looking like she was on a mission to crush Gray into the ground, which she was doing. Lucy was peacefully taking a nap, her head on Erza's lap and her feet on Gray's. It was a mystery to all of them how she was able to sleep through all of their ruckus, but Natsu explained that it was because she was a weirdo, stating the fact like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Natsu had just left them to their own devices for a little while so he could disappear into his room for half an hour, planning on rummaging through the mess he called a bedroom.

It was the summer before the four of them had to go to college. When the four of them had found out that they would all be going to Fairy Tail University together, they had all been positively ecstatic. Natsu and Lucy already knew where each other were going right when they got their acceptance letters because they were first to tell each other everything. It was almost as if they had no secrets in between each other. Lucy wasn't even embarrassed to tell Natsu when she was having her 'time of the month' and she needed Natsu to run to the pharmacy to get her pads. Yeah, they were that close.

Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and Erza spent almost every day of summer together. The only days they didn't was when Lucy was too tired to hang out because of gym practice (which actually didn't stop Natsu from breaking into her house and hanging out with her), when they had family vacations, or when Erza was hanging out with her boyfriend Jellal. All the other days were spent anywhere the four teens were willing to go with each other to, mostly consisting of each other's houses.

"What is it, you pink-haired pyro?" Gray asked while not taking his eyes of the screen, afraid that he was going to lose. But then, Natsu, who was feeling in the mood to be a dick to Gray, stood directly in front of the screen, blocking his view.

"And the winner is...Kirby!" The voice on the screen said as Erza sent a sly look Gray's way. Gray looked about ready to pounce on Natsu, but didn't want to wake Lucy, so he just glared at the idiot. Well, there was that and the fact that Erza was sitting right next to him and he didn't want to face her wrath if he fought with Natsu. Natsu took this chance to show them what he was looking for.

"I finally found it! My BLBC!" He said as he grinned triumphantly, as he showed them a piece of crumpled up paper that had multiple stains and Natsu's illegible handwriting.

"Sorry, I don't speak delirious." Gray stated bluntly. Natsu rolled his eyes.

"It's my 'Bucket List before College'! I've been looking for it everywhere!" Natsu said, marveling it as if it was a piece of artwork. "I was looking for it so we could do one of the things here. I couldn't even finish half of it because I didn't know where it was. We probably don't have time to do everything, but it could be fun to do something on here.

Erza gently lifted Lucy's head from her lap and set her down on the couch before standing up and snatching the list from Natsu and reading over it.

"Walk on a wooden plank over a tank of man-eating sharks, get in a cop chase, pants a teacher...what the hell is this!?" Erza yelled as she smacked Natsu over the head, sending him to the ground. Hearing Natsu's loud whining, Lucy stirred from her sleep, finally sitting up.

"What's going on?" She asked Gray, trying to rub the drowsiness out of her eyes. Gray just shrugged.

"Natsu made a list of things that will probably get his ass killed or arrested in the long run." Gray replied. All traces of sleepiness left Lucy's face as she brightened up.

"You found your BLBC!" She said as she gave him a wide smile.

"See, Luce appreciates me!" Natsu said, cautiously scrambling away from Erza as he went to hug her on the couch.

"Lucy, you knew of these suicide attempts of his?" Erza asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Well, when we wrote it, we were just screwing around. But Natsu was completely broken after he lost it." She said ruffling his hair. "I guess I didn't realize at the time that he actually did want to do all of those things."

"Well, he was suggesting that we do something from this dumbass list." Gray said, motioning Erza to hand the piece of paper over to him.

"Hmmm," Lucy contemplated as she tapped her chin. "as long as we're not doing the cop chase or the shark tank, I'm fine with anything on there."

"YAY!" Natsu yelled as he placed a sloppy kiss on Lucy's temple, and action that she was completely used to and often getting misunderstood from the girls in her school.

They were just best friends! What did people not get?

Natsu snatched the list from Gray and read over it, deciding that he was the one that was going to pick what they did, since he wrote the list. "Oh, this is perfect!" He pointed his finger to his choice and the other three teens hovered around it.

"I-I don't remember that being there when we wrote that!" Lucy stuttered.

"It wasn't. I put it in a few weeks after we wrote this." Natsu said, giving her a boyish grin.

"Like I said, this list is going to get us killed or arrested." Gray said as he breathed a heavy sigh, unconsciously stripping off his shirt.

"What was going through your mind when you wrote this, Natsu!?" Erza scolded him, making him shrink back a little. Erza then turned her gaze to Gray. "Your shirt." She said in an impatient tone.

"Crap!" Gray yelled as he threw back on his shirt.

"Come on guys! It'll be fun!" Natsu said, trying to convince them. Then Natsu, Erza, and Gray got into an argument.

Lucy picked up the paper and looked at the words scribbled on the bottom of the paper in all caps and in red. She did say that she was willing to do almost anything on this list with him, but she wasn't too sure about this choice.

SPEND A WEEKEND ON THE HAUNTED CRUISE SHIP, THE ST. DREYER!

~End of Flashback~

Now, the four friends stood in the abandoned harbor in the middle of the night with a cruise ship right in front of them, backpacks and sleeping bags strapped to their back. It was not too big, only about 25,000 gross tons in size (A/N: The Titanic was around 46,000 gross tons), however, it still towered over them, the rusting on the exterior and the moss growing on some parts of the ship just adding to the creepy affect. The words St. Dreyer were printed on the side of the ship in a blue paint that was almost completely chipped off. All in all, it looked like a creepy, haunted ship.

Why the hell isn't there security here? Lucy thought as she shook a little bit.

The harbor was about fifteen miles away from any real civilization, so they had to get dropped off in the closest city by train, then take a cab to a run-down convenience store about a mile from the harbor, where they stocked up on some drinks and food, and then they walked all the rest of the way there.

"Okay, so how exactly are we gonna get in?" Gray asked, looking the unstable ramp that led up to the main deck. Natsu just smirked and grabbed onto one of the ropes docking the ship to the harbor.

"Grab a rope and let's climb." He said, securing his backpack tightly before hoisting himself on one of the ropes, climbing expertly. Gray and Erza followed his example, neither of them showing any hesitation on their faces.

Lucy on the other hand, was still staring at the rope that she was supposed to climb. It looked sturdy enough, and even if she fell, she would most likely end up landing back on the harbor. But climbing the rope wasn't the only problem.

It was the fear of going onto the ship.

She had heard of St. Dreyer before; the war ship turned cruise ship forty years ago. They had to stop sailing because of the number of people that went missing. Some say it was the restless souls of the dead soldiers that died, and that scared most people off, making the company lose all of their money and close down sailing. They also locked the ship away in an abandoned harbor to make sure that the public wouldn't be in any danger. Lucy shivered at the thought of ghosts.

However, there hasn't been a thing that she hadn't done with Natsu. And he would be heartbroken to know that she chickened out and bailed.

With that final thought, Lucy grabbed tightly onto the rope, and started to climb.

Hello again! So yes, I have started a new story even though I said that there was a small chance that I would. The idea is based on the legend of the Queen Mary ship that took it's voyage in 1936, however the plot is completely my own and I will make up my own detailed backstory for the ship, so please stay tuned. This story will probably not be as long as my other one, but I'll try to get as many chapters as I can.

I hope that everyone is having a fantastic day wherever they are! :) And thank you to all that are reading my story!

Tell me what you thought of this chapter in the review section. Remember, all criticism is welcome, though I would prefer constructive over destructive!
