Sadly,I DO NOT OWN FAIRYTAIL!

(But if I did; oh the things I'd add to this anime) *smirks evilly*

(Normal POV)

*Long sigh* "Natsu! Lucy! Are we there yet?" Whined the blue flying exceed

"No were still not there yet! And we still won't be there when you ask me again 3 minutes from now!" Yelled Lucy, annoyed with Happy's excessive whining.

"What's the big deal? We've only been walking for like two hours" Said the pink haired fire mage, with his hands resting on the back of his neck.

"Actually, we've been walking for five hours" corrected Lucy

Natsu turns to Lucy puzzled "Really? Didn't feel like five hours to me"

"That's because you insisted on stopping to pee every ten seconds!" Exclaimed Lucy

"Hey! It's not my fault the Ice queen wanted to have a drinking contest with me! And besides, a guy's gotta let his river flow"

Lucy just shook her head, knowing that you can never reason with a guy like Natsu

You see, the 'Original Team Natsu' have gone off on another mission. Natsu thought it would be a good idea to have a burping contest… with Gray… at a restaurant… with Erza there. Not only did Gray and Natsu completely destroy the place by letting the contest get out of hand, Erza added more to the damage by beating the two senseless at the restaurant and scaring off costumers. So as punishment Master Makorav made each of them go on missions to pay for damages and when they get back they have to work as servers at the restaurant for a good month! This saddened Lucy, knowing it would cut into her time of writing her *still unfinished* novel.

(Lucy's POV)

After all the waiting and stops for Natsu to *ahem and I quote 'let his river flow'- unquote* I finally run out of patience

"Urgh! Are we there yet!?" I yelled

"Yeah, were here" said Natsu calmly

"Geez Lucy, can't you be patient" mocked Happy

"Shut up you damn cat!"

The three of us walked- *well, Happy flew* towards the gates of the city

"The city of Cantour, well this is us" said Natsu

I take in the scenery. It was beautiful, you could say it looked like Magnolia but with more trees and space.

"Wow" I say in an astonished whisper. I could tell Natsu still heard me, his ear slightly twitched

"Well, what are we waiting for?" Said Natsu stretching his arms out and cracking his knuckles "Let's go!"

I smiled and nodded my head. We went through the gates and took in the city. It was truly big. Big yet beautiful all at the same time

(Natsu's POV)

Woah! This place is huge! It was so big my eyes couldn't follow everything that was happening. But no matter what I gotta keep my eyes on Lucy, who knows what kind of pervs are around here. *Wait, why do I care? Lucy can fight! She's strong! But why do I get the feeling I should keep an eye on her?* While traveling through my thoughts I look at Lucy. She's still smiling big at her surroundings. I smile too.

"Hey Luce?"

She turns around "Yeah?"

"I'm hungry!"

"Aye!" Says Happy in response

She sweat-drops. "Well, we have been walking for hours non stop. A bite to eat wouldn't hurt"

"Yay! Fish food time! Fishy, fishy, fishy, fishy" Said Happy rubbing his paws together while licking his furry lips

Luce giggles "Okay, let's find some place to eat. But this time no more burping or drinking contests of any kind!"

"Gotcha!" I give her a soldier salute

"Or arm wrestling contests! None once so ever! We are to eat like civilized people and leave like civilized people!" She says shaking her pointed finger at me

"Okay, okay sheesh. Wait, why can't I arm wrestle! I don't hurt anyone!"

She raises her blonde eyebrow at me and walks away

"Oh c'mon Luce! That was one time! At one restaurant! Let it go!" I yell following her with a blue cat following above

After searching for a decent place to eat, we finally found one.

"Not to fancy, not to dull" Said Lucy smiling

She entered first, and me and Happy went after

I took a whiff of the place "Mmm, something smells good" I say licking my lips

"Sure does" agrees Lucy

"I just want to know where I can get my paws on a nice juicy fish!" Exclaims Happy

Lucy picks out a booth and we all take a seat. A waitress then comes and asks us for the drinks we want. Same old, same old. We took a few minutes to order our food. Lucy of course got something small and neat. While me and Happy got something huge and messy. While eating something grabbed my attention. An old greasy guy sitting behind Lucy was trying to check her out. Without buying any attention from Lucy I shot him a death glare. He then turned and ran to the bathroom

I gulped some food down "Umm, I'll be right back" I say getting up

"Where are you going?" Asked Lucy

"Bathroom" I answer quickly. And I walk towards the men's bathroom to take care of 'business'. The greasy guy came out burnt and beat up. I came out behind him without a scratch, yet when I came out two guys were going in. They looked at the burnt guy then at me with confused eyes

"Uhh, he had the crazy taquitos. I guess they didn't agree with him. Oh and I probably wouldn't go in after that guy" I pat one of the guys on the back and head back to Lucy with a proud smile on my face

"Wow, looks like you enjoyed yourself" Says Lucy with a smirk

"Oh, I- uh really had to go"

She raised an eyebrow at me while still smiling, then just nodded her head and continued eating

If Lucy ever found out I got overprotective of her, she'll never let me hear the end of it. I don't know what's with me. I look up from my food for a quick peek at Lucy. *You see! Who does that? A physco maybe? I always do this! Making sure she's alright in the tiniest and teensiest of ways. It's bugging the hell out of me! I don't know what to do! Do I tell her? No. Yes? Maybe? I JUST DON'T KNOW! When it comes to Lucy I swear my mind just draws a blank. I just want to know why*

Then I smell something. Something familiar, I can't put my finger on it. But the scent is there, I just don't know what it is. I turn around checking if we're being watched. Nothing looks out of the ordinary.

"Natsu?"

I turn back to Lucy

"Everything okay?" She asks concerned

"Y-yeah everything's fine" But I know I'm not sure for myself

"You sure? You've been acting weird" Added Happy

"Who's side are you on?" I asked him

"The fish's side" He smirked while eating yet another fish

"The fish is dead!" I pointed out

"Exactly, and it tastes good. That's why I'm on its side" smiled the exceed

I gave a straight face. But I still couldn't brush off the fact that were being watched, or even worse. Followed.

Hope it was enjoyable :D
