I CANNOT. I repeat, CANNOT open a vitamin container for the life of me. You know, the child proof ones with the whole mechanism where you have to do some sort of sorcery shit? I was downstairs, craving to have some healthy and nutritious vitamins, and today, I CANNOT OPEN THE GOD DAMN CONTAINER! I went from, sitting there for ten minutes trying to twist the cap off, to banging it against the counter, To taking a knife and trying to stab the thing open, and then just throwing it at my wall shouting, "FUCK IT!"

I swear, when I try to get in shape(going to the gym, taking my vitamins, eating healthy...etc.) SOMETHING ALWAYS has to pop up.

All I want is try to be healthy. But it seems like the universe is just laughing at me mockingly like NOPE.

Sorry for the rant. Review now if you can relate. Enjoy!~

"Ah, Natsu! Harder!"

"Jesus, Luce, you're killing me!"

"Please, Natsu...I can't hold it much longer!"

"Fuck! Neither can I!"

"Dammit, you two! You can't fit a giant life-size Iron Man suit in the trunk!" Gray growls as Natsu and I try to fit the Iron Man outfit in the trunk.

"I don't care what you say!" Natsu pushes down on the trunk door, "I'm taking this Iron Man suit!"

On the way to Bosco, Natsu's eye caught a nearby comic book store and when we went inside we saw this suit and he just HAD to have it. We've been trying to fit this giant thing in the trunk for twenty minutes.

What's that? You thought Natsu and I were doing the dirty at first? Sick bastard.

"We have to get moving," Erza orders, "We're on a time limit."

"Oh, yeah? What time is it?" Natsu snaps back.

"Time for you to get your ass in the car and start driving!"

"Hold on! We almost got it!" Natsu claims as he pushes harder.

"Natsu, no we don't!" I reply.

"SHH!" He hushes me, "They don't know that."

"It's pretty obvious!"

"That's it! I'm driving!" Gray throws his arms up in annoyance and climbs to the driver's seat.

"You touch Happy, you're a zeke, Gray!" Natsu warns.

"Then hurry it up!"

"We might have to leave it here, Natsu," I say to the pinkette.

"BUT I WANT IT!" He whines.

"Juvia is sure there are many other cool Iron Man toys at other places," Juvia tries to reason.

"Here's the thing, chickie-poo," Natsu still tries to shut the trunk, "This isn't a TOY. This is a SUIT."

"Here's the thing," Gray adds, "We don't care. GET IN HERE, NATSU OR WE'RE LEAVING YOU BEHIND!"

Natsu and I stop pushing and the trunk door flies open.

"FINE!" He finally gives in, "YOU ALL ARE CRUEL HEARTLESS BASTARDS!"

He makes over exaggerated crying noises as he pulls the suit out of the trunk.

"Oh, get over it you over grown man baby," Gray rolls his eyes.

"It's okay, Natsu," Juvia says sympathetically, "When we get to Bosco, Juvia will help you find something else that is cool."

Aw, Juvia tends to be so cute at times.

Natsu starts to point at all of us once he hops in, "Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you in the ass, and-" He stops at Juvia and pauses, "You're cool."

"Yay!" She claps happily.

"Just start driving, will ya?!" Erza barks.

We pass by zekes walking along the road, and its a peaceful drive the entire way. It was only mid-day and the atmosphere was silent. As we enter the next city, we begin to hear screaming and gunshots around the corner.

"What is that?" Gray asks, trying to see what it was.

"I don't know if we wanna find out," Natsu says, slowing down Happy cautiously, leaning closer to the wheel.

"I'll go check and see what it is," I whisper, hopping out of the car once it comes to a stop. I prowl along side of the building and peek my head into the opening.

It was a group of men circling a man and a woman with a baby. A few people lay on the ground in a pool of blood.

"That should teach you a thing or two about talking back," The man, i'm guessing one of the bad guys, says.

"Please, we have a baby with us!" The male victim pleads.

"What is it?" I hear Natsu call to me quietly.

"A woman and a man with a baby!" I reply quietly, "A group of bad guys trying to mug them or something."

Natsu smirks his evil smirk, "Jerks like them need to be taught a lesson, then."

I run over to Happy and Natsu speeds over around the corner. We all cry a battle cry and I honk a air horn. The group of men turn their attention to us and we skid to a stop. We all hop out of the car and face the men.

"Leave them alone!" I order.

The men look at each other and begin to howl in laughter, "Look at these kids! Thinking their all tough and brave!"

"Please help us!" The woman cries.

"In time, ma'am," Natsu cracks his knuckles then glaring a cocky smirk at the men, "So which one of you pussies wanna take me on?"

"You kids aint worth our time." One of the men pull out a gun and aim it at Natsu. In that nanosecond, I whip out my pistol and shoot it out of his hand. "SHIT!" He cries in pain as he grips his hand.

"You bitch!" One growls, running towards me. Once he's in my space, I land my fist to his gut hard, then send him a left hook, blinding him. Now that he's all disorientated, I twirl around and kick him square in the jaw, knocking him to the ground and out cold.

Don't mess with my Lucy-Kick, bro. You have been warned.

They all stare at me in awe.

"Yeah," Natsu rubs his nose nonchalantly, "Anybody else wanna mess with us?"

"You're dead!" Another man runs up to Natsu and sends kicks and punches, but Natsu dodges them all. The man sends one more flying fist, but Natsu grabs it and pulls the man towards him, kneeing him in his groin.

He falls to the floor cradled in a ball, crying.

"GET THEM!" The others roar, rushing towards us.

"Our turn," Erza, Juvia, and Gray run past us to meet the men. Within a matter of seconds, they all lay on the floor, passed out.

The man and woman walk up to us and the woman still cries.

"Thank you. Thank you so much!" The woman thanks us as she holds onto her baby tighter, nuzzling it. "I'm Amanda, this is my daughter Jenna and this is my brother Mark."

"What happened? Why did they attack you?" Gray asks.

"We don't know," Mark replies, "But those goons were from Phantom Lord. A band of crazy people that go around attacking survivors and abducting women. I'm glad you showed up. I was worried they would take my sister."

"We're just glad you're okay," I flash a sweet smile at the three.

"You said Phantom Lord?" Natsu asks, "What exactly are they after? Why are they attacking people?"

"Heck if I know," Mark rubs the back of his head, "I'm surprised you don't know about them. They've been on the hunt since all this started."

"We've been in a survivors camp this entire time," Erza adds.

"Survivors camp?" The woman asks.

"It's gone," Gray says, "It was overrun by the dead."

"Of course it was," The woman sighs.

"Where are you heading?" I ask.

"We were on our way to Naked. We have family up there," Mark answers.

"We just came from there," Natsu says, "but if I were you, I'd keep a close eye on your surroundings. A herd just went through there and some might still be there."

"Thanks for the tip," Mark nods his head at us.

"Oh," I run to the truck and hand them a small amount of ammo. Just enough they'll need for their journey. "Here, it's not much, but it should help."

"Thank you so much for your help," Mark flashes a smile, "We just wish to find a place where my niece can be safe enough to live."

Natsu bends down to the little girl, "Jenna, was it?"

The mother nods. Natsu flashes a smile at the baby and then whispers, "See ya, Jenna. Don't ever lose hope. Okay?"

The baby giggles and gurgles and waves at the pinkette.

I send Natsu a smile. He might say he doesn't want kids, but I know deep down he does. He's always had a way with children and they've always seemed to love him. Once in the ninth grade, he helped me with a baby sitting job and the kids only wanted to play with him. He even had more patience with them as I did. Natsu would make a great dad. It's too bad the world had to come to an end.

We say our last goodbye's and drive off, unaware that one of the men we had beaten up, had contacted Phantom Lord and told them about us.

Rather short chapter today. Please forgive me. Been busy and junk. First world problems x3

Don't forget to leave a review and STAY TUNED MY LOVELIES!~Izzy
