Now...without further adu, i present to you my first fanfic and i hope with all my being, the best damn piece of work ill ever write. To Forgive and Forget

"COME ON HAPPY, LETS GET BACK TO THE GUILD AND GRAB ANOTHER JOB!" shouted a young salmon haired man."AYE SIR!" Exclaimed Happy.

Natsu Dragneel had been taking job after job with his best friend and surrogate son Happy, why? Well to get nominated for the infamous S-class trials. He strongly believes he has a good shot this year, a lot of his guild-mates do as well and he sure as hell doesn't ever want to let them done. Not in this day and age.

"WE'RE BACK!!" shouted Natsu as he kicked the Fairy Tail guildhall doors open,Other shouts of welcoming are returned to him.

"Alright Happy lets grab something to eat first before we head out again, whataya say?" "Sounds like a great plan to me Natsu!" Happy answers cheerfully. Natsu and Happy then approach the bar while Mirajane is happily cleaning a glass behind the counter, she the sees the two best buds and greets them with her sweetest smile.

"Hey there Natsu and Happy, how did your last job go?" Asks Mira while putting the dried glass away. "Hi Mira, the job went off without a hitch, just a few bandits trying to get away with disturbing the towns people, nothing me Happy couldn't handle." replied Natsu with a smile. "Well that's certainly good to hear, can't have you getting hurt so close to the trails now can we?" Mira says teasingly. "Oh don't worry nothing is gonna keep me from being in the trails, no way no how!" Natsu then notices a bag behind the bar that seems to be filled with gear "Are you going somewhere Mira?" Looking back Mira sees he spotted the bag "oh, yes, Lisanna, Elfman and I are going to do a job together in an hour, It's a simple escort a carriage job." Mira answers but Natsu with his enhanced senses, sees Mira's left hand twitch ever so slightly. "Mira, I'm sure there is no need to worry about taking Lisanna on this job." Mira widens her eyes slightly, surprised that Natsu caught her concern then looks down at the counter "I know but i still can't help but feel worried and nervous, I keep thinking about what happened last time we went on a job together..." Natsu then sees tears slowly forming in Mira's eyes. Mira then feels something warm atop her hand and and sees that its Natsu's own hand. "Mira, its natural to feel concerned for your sibling again after what happened before but i promise you that it wont ever happen again" Natsu says staring right into her blue eye, Mira sees Natsu's sincerity in his own and slightly blushes "Thank you Natsu, I really needed that." "Anytime Mira" The dragon slayer said with his signature grin.

Through out this conversation Happy was silently sitting next to Natsu on a stool waiting to ask the question his stomach was wanting. "Umm Mira, can i please get a fish?" pleads Happy, Mira then looks at the blue excced and her smile returns "Sure thing Happy, anything for you Natsu?" "yeah one Flaming Steak please" replies the hungry salmon haired pyro.

Mirajane then turns away to fetch the two hearts of Fairy Tail while in some deep thought 'Ah Natsu...you always find someway to make me smile no matter how sad i may be. If it wasn't for you i wouldn't have stayed in fairy tail when i was first learning my magic, the you stopped me from leaving again after we thought Lisanna was gone...those old feeling i tried to hide away because of Lisanna are coming back.'

True that Natsu did encounter Mirajane trying to leave the guild twice and stop her both times with his ever so soothing and convincing words, this is when the white haired bar maid first started developing feelings for the son of igneel. The day he approached her when she was close to leaving her siblings in the guild while she would travel to who knows where, however he caught her just before and told her how her siblings would feel if she just simply left, and stating that he would help her perfect her magic no matter what.

'Maybe i should tell him, hmmm yeah i think ill bag me a fire dragon slayer after we come back from our job! but for now...they all say that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.' Mira thought giggling while preparing Natsu's and Happy's meals.

Mira returns to the counter of the bar with both of their meals, the two thank her and begin to chow down. "Man Mira your meals will always be the best to me, greater than any 5 star restaurant could ever serve!" The ever so cheerful Natsu exclaimed. "Hehe, Thank you Natsu, now i need to go and grab Lisanna and Elfman for our job, try to stay out of trouble and please be safe if you take a job, ill be gone for 2 days.

"No problem Mira, Happy and I are gonna take one more job in a bit, but hey...you be safe too okay...you are someone i really dont ever wanna have to lose ok." Natsu said with a slight frown, Mira was look at Natsu with a blush but managed to reply with a slight smile "I promise, and you be safe too" 'i dont think i could ever take the pain of you leaving me Natsu' she thought as she walked out the guild.

Natsu stares at the doors for a few moments until he shakes his head and turns to Happy who is currently gnawing on a fish bone. "Alright buddy lets get a move on." "Aye sir" The flying blue cat cheers as he flings the bone somewhere across the guild. The two then approach the Job board and scan for an interesting mission...after a bit Natsu spots one and grabs it to read the further details: Eliminate a small dark guild wreaking havoc. "Oh yeah this is the one Happy, come on lets go help these people out" "Are you sure Natsu maybe pick on that's a tad bit easier." Happy says uncertainty, While he had the utmost faith in Natsu, a Dark Guild is still a Dark Guild.

"Yeah buddy i can handle this one, now lets hurry!" Yells Natsu as he bursts through the guild hall doors rushing to the town being attacked by the Dark Guild.

In a certain air ship belonging to one of the Balham Alliance Dark Guild

"Master Hades...i think i gotta a perfect plan to get the salamander outta our way for our siege on tenrou.." A voice in the dark menacingly speaks out.

"Do you now Zancrow...by all means do tell me of this grand plan of yours ah-haha" Replies the Grandmaster of Grimore Heart with a dark chuckle.
