Eb: It's a bit different. Lucy is a bit different.

DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

"Wah~!" Lucy said happily. She and Natsua were standing in front of the regal Fairy Tail guild "It's huge!" she practically squealed.

"Welcome to Fairy Tail!" Happy said.

The large hall was packed with mages. They were laughing, chatting, and eating, or looking at the request board.

"Mira-chaaaaan! 3 beers this way please!" someone called.

The woman that Lucy knew as the famous Mirajane called back to him "Coming right up!"

"Mira-chaaaaan!" someone else called.

"Yes, what is it?" Mira asked. The man blew out a cigarette smoke and it slowly formed into a heart. "Let's go on a date sometime!" he cooed, and one of his friends said not to be sneaky.

Mira sighed and made an odd hand movement. In a second she had transformed into a stout and fat woman with poufy hair and a smile on her face and she asked "You have a wife, don't you?"

"Ahhhh! Don't transform into my wife!" he cried and his friend laughed at him.

Mira turned back just as Natsua yelled "WE'RE HOME!"

"Welcome home Natsua, Happy," Mirajane called cheerfully.

Another man, who had very bad bucked teeth said to Natsua "You overdid it again. I heard about the Harujion incident in the newspa-. . . per," Natsua had delivered a flying kick to his face.

"You BASTARD!" Natsua yelled "THE INFORMATION YOU GAVE ME AOUT SALAMANDER WAS FAKE!"

"My, now that Natsua is back, the store might be torn apart again soon. U fu fu." Mirajane said cheerily, and the man who had asked her out earlier yelled "IT'S ALREADY BEING TORN APART!"

Soon, the entire room was brought into the brawl and a guy wearing only striped boxers called excitedly "Did you say Natsua is back? I want to settle our fight from last time."

A woman sitting on a bench cross-legged with a barrel in front of her asked "Gray, have you been going around like that?"

"Hack! Shit!" he said.

"Another one of those undignified guys," she sighed "I really hate life." And with that she lifted up her barrel and drank straight from it.

Gray yelled "Hey Natsua! Come fight me!" and Lucy heard Natsua reply "Come back after you've dressed!"

Suddenly, a huge shadow appeared over Lucy and she heard a gruff voice say "What rubbish."

A rather terrifying man stepped forward and said "Yapping in the middle of the day. You guys aren't little kids anymore."

"So fight with your fists of MANHOOD!"

Okay, so, maybe he wasn't so terrifying.

"Get out of the way!" Natsua and Gray yelled, owning the guy and sending him flying.

Suddenly another voice said "It's so noisy in here."

Lucy turned and looked excited when she saw who was standing there. "It's Loki the top ranked 'Mage you want as your boyfriend'!"

"I'll go join the fight," he said.

"Good Luck~!" the two girls hanging off his arms chorused. Lucy slumped onto the ground.

And thus, Lucy's perspective of this guy was shattered into a million pieces.

"What is with this place?" she wondered out loud.

"My, a new comer~!" said a voice above her.

Lucy jumped up when she saw it was Mirajane and she fangirled for a moment before pointing at the fight "Shouldn't you stop them?" she asked.

"It happens all the time," she smiled cheerfully.

"Oh, dear," Lucy said.

"And," Mirajane continued, only to be hit in the head with a bottle. She slumped onto the floor and continued again "besides," she stood up again and blood was dripping from her forehead but she was still smiling "don't you think this is fun?"

'It's scary!' Lucy thought just as Gray crashed into the table next to her. He jumped back up only to see he wasn't wearing any boxers, and Natsua had them.

"Shit! My underwear!"

"Don't face this way!" Lucy yelled, covering her face.

"Could I please borrow your under-," he began to say 'wear', but Lucy punched him in the face.

"No way in Hell!" she yelled, and a second later Loki was carrying her bridal style and asking what modeling agency she belonged to. She'd have been flattered if she didn't think he was trying to get in her skirt.

The same man from earlier yelled "MEN FIGHT WITH THEIR FISTS!" and Natsua socked him in the jaw saying he was in the way.

The woman who hadn't fought yet sat down her barrel and said "God! I can't even drink peacefully around here," she pulled out a card "guys, it's time."

"To end this."

"I've had enough," Gray stated, placing his fist on his hand.

"Nuooo Ohhhh!" the large man said, his arm turning to stone.

"What a troublesome bunch," Loki sighed, invoking his ring.

"COME AND GET ME!" Natsua yelled, holding up her fiery fists.

"Magic!" Lucy squeaked.

"Ohh, this is getting intense," Mirajane said.

Suddenly a deep powerful voice said, and a giant shadow creature appeared.

"CUT IT OUT YOU FOOLS!" it bellowed.

"He's humungous," Lucy breathed.

Everyone stopped fighting, and grumbled.

"My, you were here Master?" Mirajane asked, and Lucy looked at her, pale as a sheet.

There was a 'Tch' from a Gray and 'Hmph' from the man with the stone arm. Lucy could hear Loki's lady friends cooing over how 'scary' it was and the woman saying 'Booze'. But Natsua just grinned, showing her sharp canines.

"Haha! You all got scared! So, this is my win!" she cheered, before the 'Master' smashed her with his foot.

"A newcomer?" he asked Lucy.

"Y-yes," she stammered, and he ground his teeth and let out an 'Fnuuu'. Lucy looked terrified.

Then, he began to shrink until he became a little old man, no taller than Lucy's knees. "Nice to meet you!" he told her cheerfully "I'm Master Makarov."

He back-flipped high into the air, a feat that would have been impressive, had it not been for the fact that he hit the railing of the upstairs before climbing over it and sitting cross-legged on top of it.

"You've done it again fools!" he yelled, holding up a thick stack of papers "look at the papers I've received from the council."

"First, Gray. Good job on sweeping out the smuggling organization, but you walked around town naked afterwards and stole some drying underwear." Makarov said, and elsewhere, Natsua giggled.

"Wouldn't it have been worse to just stay naked?" he asked.

"Elfman!" Makarov called "You were given the mission to escort a V.I.P, but assaulted him during the mission."

"He said the men are all about education!" Elfman protested.

"Kana, you drank 15 barrels of beer, and then charged it to the council! Loki, you flirted with council member elder Reiji's granddaughter, and a certain talent agency charged us for damage compensation. And Natsua," his head drooped "You destroyed the Devon Thief Family, but destroyed 7 other houses belonging to townspeople. You leveled a historical clock tower in Tully Village. You burned down a church in Freesia. You damaged parts of Lupinus Castle. You collapsed Nazuna Ravine Observatory and thus stopped its operations. And, you destroyed half of Harujion's port."

"Arzach, Levi, Kulov, Reedus, Warren, Visca, et cetra," he sighed "Guys, the council are angry at me all the time, but, forget about the council members," grinning, he set the paperwork on fire and threw it to Natsua who caught it and began to munch on it.

"Listen up, the power to overcome reasoning, comes from reasoning itself. Magic is not a miracle. When the 'spirit' flows within us and the 'spirit' flow in nature connects, they will form an embodiment for the first time. You will need a strong mentality and a lot of concentration for that. Pouring your soul into whatever you do is magic. If you keep worrying about what the higher-ups think, your magic will never move." He grinned "Do not fear the fools of the council."

"DO WHATEVER YOU THINK IS RIGHT!" he yelled, and the members of the guild cheered "THAT'S THE WAY OF THE FAIRY TAIL MAGE!"

Natsua ate like a rabid dog. It was almost as though she thought it would be her last meal.

"So they called you Salamander in other towns, eh Natsua?" someone asked.

"True, your magic would fit that name," someone else said.

"You want it here?" Mirajane asked.

"Yes!" Lucy asked and Mirajane tattooed her skin with a pink mark of Fairy Tail. "There you go. Now you're part of Fairy Tail."

"Whoa!" Lucy said, turning to Natsua "Look at this Natsua!"

"That's cool Lucy," Natsua said, not really paying attention, because she was shoveling down food. Finally she finished and stood up.

"Where are you goin' Nat?" someone asked.

"I'm going to work. I'm all out of money," she replied.

"Let's choose one with a good reward," Happy suggested.

"Ah! How about this one! 160, 000 for exterminating thieves," Natsua said, pulling down on of the papers.

Suddenly she heard a little girl ask "Is my daddy back yet?" and she turned to see Juliet there, talking to Makarov.

"You're annoying Juliet," he grumbled "if you are the daughter of a mage, trust your father, be a good girl, and wait at home for him."

"But, he said he'd be back in 3 days!" Juliet objected "that was a week ago!"

"Macau's job is at Mount Hakobe, isn't it?" Happy asked.

"Please look for him!" Juliet begged "I'm worried about him!"

"No way! Your dad is a mage" Makarov said "We have no mage here that can't take care of himself!"

"Idiot!" Juliet yelled, punching Makarov in the face, before running away crying.

"It's strict here isn't it?" Lucy asked.

"Master is like that, but he's worried about Macau too," Mirajane commented.

Natsua shoved the paper into the stone board, breaking it, before walking away. Someone called after her "Hey! Natsua, don't go around breaking the board!" but she was already gone. Lucy shrugged and went back to her drink.

"I bet she's going to go help Macau," someone said.

"Stupid brat, she is," another said.

The man at the board said "she's only going to hurt Macau's pride."

"Oh, let her do what she wants," Makarov grinned "we can't decide for her."

"The same thing happened to Natsua. Maybe she saw herself in Juliet-chan," Mirajane commented "after all, her father left and never came back. She's been waiting for him for so long now. He was a dragon. Isn't it cute how she waits for him?" Lucy nodded but said nothing.

"We are. . . Mages of Fairy Tail are all carrying something. Wounds, pain, suffering, even I carry something," Lucy looked at her curiously, but said nothing.

Soon, Natsua and Happy reached the farthest place they could go with a carriage and climbed out onto the blizzardy mountain.

Ignoring the weather that no normal person would dare brave in the same clothes as Natsua began to walk at a steady pace.

Suddenly, she a shadow jumped from the snow and Natsua managed to do a back-flip before the Balkan punched the snow.

"Woman!" it said excitedly.

"So, you like woman, eh?" she grinned "this will be fun."

Rachele: Lucy isn't here for a reason. -grins-
