Of Dragonslayers, love and best friends.

Okay, thanks for finally answering the poll guys . You took ages, but who cares. Enjoy ! ;D

"Laxus, wait up! You're too fast!" I yelled out happily at the boy running in front of me, Laxus Dreyar.

"No way Lucy, because you're going to catch me if you do!" he yelled back at me, poking his tongue out and pulling his eyelid down. We ran into the woods, not knowing that we were going deeper and deeper towards the forest. The forest was right next to my estate, the Heartfilia estate, and Laxus and I were told that it was forbidden to go deep into the forest because there were wild animals there. He was running very fast, and I was struggling to catch up to him, panting and breathing heavily.

"Oof!" I tripped, alarming Laxus. He ran to me, helping me up. Suddenly, I noticed where we were.

"Laxus, are we in the forbidden forest…?" I asked quietly, shivering,

"Probably, but don't worry, I'll protect you from the monsters!" he said bravely, flexing his arms and giving me a big goofy lopsided grin. I loved that grin of his. I don't know why, but my heart always pounded in my chest whenever he looked at me like that. I felt a little safer as he hugged me tight. In the distance, I was very foggy and we began to walk back to my estate, hand in hand. It was no big deal. We were 5 year old kids after all, but holding hands with him still made me all red in the cheeks. While we were walking back, I saw a scary shadow starting to walk towards us.

"WHO ARE YOU AND WHY ARE YOU TRESSPASSING!?" a voice called out, the shadow coming closer and closer. Laxus' face was a little nervous, while I had tears threatening to spill out of my eyes because I was so scared. I clung onto Laxus as the shadow came into sight. It was a giant lightning dragon! It had black shimmering scales with a big lightning bolt symbol on its body. Its eyes were a blood red and looked angry. It was also spilling out sparks out of its body. I could feel the intensity and power from the thunder, even if it was far away. Laxus stepped out a little nervous but still managed to stand.

"W-w-well, I a-am L-L-Laxus D-Dreyar a-a-and t-this I-is m-my b-best f-friend, L-Lucy H-Heartfilia. W-We a-are l-lost i-in the w-woods, a-and w-were a-about t-to g-go b-back t-to L-Lucy's e-estate j-just o-outside t-the f-forest. W-we're v-very s-sorry t-to t-trespass," Laxus stuttered, bowing down low.

"Y-yes, w-we're v-very s-sorry t-to t-trespass," I said, copying Laxus and bowing down very low. The magnificent dragon stepped forward and lay down, staring at us a little bit. We kept bowing until a nice voice broke the silence.

"Well, you look and seem good, so I guess it's okay…" the electric dragon said. "My name is Bolt, and I am an electric dragon. Just so you know, I am a male," Bolt said happily. I lifted my head and looked at Laxus and ran towards him, crying.

"I thought we were going to die! I was so scared, Laxus! Please protect me all the time! I feel so safe with you!" I wailed, crying into his chest. I looked at Bolt and climbed onto his head. He widened his eyes in surprise and shook his head a little in shock.

"WOAH! THIS IS FUN! WOOH!" I screamed out, clinging onto Bolt's head as hard as I could. He eventually calmed down, and I felt his scales.

"Woah, they're so pretty…" I said, stroking them. Bolt gave a little purr, and I kept stroking them.

"Well, it looks like you two have some magical potential…" Bolt said, stroking his chin, deep in thought. Laxus climbed onto Bolt's head next to me, and started stroking Bolt's scaled as well.

"I've got it!" Bolt said. "Stand in front of me where I can see you, little ones," Bolt said. We did as he told, and he put his paw up, holding it in front of us. I put on my hands in front of my face, thinking that I was going to die because Bolt had decided to kill us, but I thought wrong. I looked next to me and saw Laxus. Electricity was coming out of him! It was unbelievable! He levitated for a moment, then went back down. I ran towards him and tried to shake him awake.

"LAUXS! ARE YOU OKAY!? SAY SOMETHING! PLEASE…" I screamed out, crying.

"Do not worry Lucy, it was his magical power. He is a little tired now from using his magic, but besides that, he is fine. Come with me, on my back and carry Laxus. I did as I was told, and grabbed Laxus, dragging him like a sack of potatoes.

"Geez Laxus how much do you eat, you big pig!" I muttered to myself quietly.

"I heard that, Lucy," Bolt chuckled at my whisper.

"How did you-"

"Dragons have increased senses of hearing and smelling, so I can hear every single word that you say.

"Oh.."

I hauled Laxus on Bolt's back with some of Bolt's help, and he flew to a small cave. In the cave, there were some torches that were lit, and a few dragons were there. I widened my eyes in surprise and shock, and my mouth formed an 'O'.
"Are these your friends?" I asked Bolt.

"Yes, they are. Meet the remaining dragons that have not yet went to the dragon realm yet," Bolt said to me, lifting Laxus off his back and giving him to me.
"Ahem, attention brothers and sisters," Bolt said loudly, like a boom box. "I found these two mortals in the forest while hunting, and they may have some potential to become Dragon Slayers! The boy is with me, while the little girl has not yet found an element. If any of you would like to train the female youngling, you're welcome to do so. Thank you." Bolt ended his speech with a little nod of a head and walked towards Laxus.

"You and your friend Laxus have some potential to become dragon slayers. Dragon Slayers are very rare wizards, and you may be able to become one. If any dragon shall try their element on you like I did to Laxus in the forest, they will not harm you in any way. I am off to train Laxus. Until I come back, have fun," Bolt said, chuckling a little to himself. After he went somewhere in the woods with Laxus, I sat down, looking at the other dragons. They looked and smiled at me, waiting for me to say something.

"Um, well.. I'm Lucy Heartfilia, and erm.. if you want… could you please tell me your names while I introduce myself?" I asked the dragons, counting them. There were 4 of them in total, not including Bolt. I went around to the first dragon, which was a nice sky blue scale coloured dragon with warm blue eyes. I asked her what her name was, and she said she was Grandine. She tried her water magic power on me, but ended up making me soaking wet.

She did a little pout, then ushered me to the next dragon, which was a lava red colour, with fierce eyes. I asked him what his name was, and he said his name was Igneel. He tried his fire magic power on me, but only ended up burning me, but it didn't do much damage because he dryed me from the water that Grandine used on me before. He looked away as Grandine healed my burns, and went back to sleep quietly, swishing his tail about.

I went to the 3rd dragon, which was a jet black colour with shimmering black scales like Bolt, but a darker shade of black and had intimidatingly scary eyes. He looked at me intently, eying me as if I was a threat to him. I slowly asked him what his name was, and he said it was Metalicana. He tried his magic on me, but ended up iron pillaring me in the stomach, bashing me into the wall. I coughed up a lot of blood, and I started crying while coughing up blood. He said sorry, and tried to soothe me. I giggled, and went towards the next dragon, my stomach still hurting me a little and the blood still coming out of my mouth. I went to the last dragon, which was a creamy colour with light green eyes, and said her name was Alice. She said she was a celestial dragon and tried her element on me. She concentrated her magic in her palm and I closed my eyes, feeling the warm brightness in her magic. I levitated for a bit, and felt my necklace pendant glowing. It was a celestial key from my mother, Layla Heartfilia, who had passed away earlier that year. I took it out and Alice asked if she could borrow it. I said yes, and I gave it to her. She told me it was a celestial key, and she asked me to train with her. I happily said yes, and we went into the woods, leaving me excited for my training but also a bit nervous.

Back where Laxus is~

Laxus P.O.V

I woke up, and saw that I was back in the woods again. I shot up, feeling a big warm presence on top of me. I looked up, and saw Bolt's chin. I gasped in surprise, and then calmed myself down. Bolt woke up groggily, rubbing his eyes with his ginormous paw.

"Awake now, are we?" Bolt asked, still rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

"What happened to me? All I remember is floating and feeling magic inside me," I said, trying to remember what happened.

"That magic you felt was your magic reacting to my magic, Laxus. You have the potential to become a lighting dragon slayer. Dragon slayers are very rare, and are very powerful. They have increased hearing senses and smelling senses, so they are very good at tracking. I sense very powerful lightning magic in you, Laxus. Would you like to take the chance to become a lightning dragon slayer?" Bolt asked, staring at me seriously. I thought for a moment, and answered him.

"The magic is probably the lightning lacrima my dad put in me because he thought I wasn't powerful enough, so do you think you could take it out?" I asked hopefully.

"Yes, I may be able to take that lacrima out of you.." Bolt said, thinking again. "Close your eyes, and I shall proceed to take that lacrima out of you," Bolt said, moving his paws. I lay down and closed my eyes, and felt some electricity burning inside me. It stung and hurt so much, I felt like I was about to burst.

"I know the pain is a lot to bear, but try and endure it," Bolt said to me, wiping the sweat off my head. I felt the electricity hacking at something hard in my chest. It felt better and better every time he hacked away at it. It felt like a big burden had been lifted and I was relieved to see that Bolt had finished and withdrawn the electricity from is claws.

"How do you feel?" Bolt asked, smiling.

"I feel great! It feels so much better now!" I said happily, running around for a little bit. Bolt and I did some training about lightning, and he taught me all about ancient dragon customs and about the dragon and human language. After the sun set, Bolt flew me back to the cave and I saw Lucy and a cream coloured dragon staring at each other. They laughed then smiled. The other dragons had already went to sleep and I tapped Lucy on the shoulder.

Lucy P.O.V

I was practicing mind-reading and telepathy with Alice, the celestial dragon. All the others had fallen asleep, and were curled up and were in dreamland. Alice was telling me about all the weird habits the other dragons had, when someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Hey Luce, how's it going?" Laxus asked me, giving me the lopsided grin I loved. I jumped into his arms, and he hugged me back.

"I missed you," I said quietly.

"I missed you too," Laxus said to me. We looked in each other's eyes and smiled. He walked back a little and I cocked my head to the side.

"What are you doing, Laxus?" I asked him, staring at him.

"Watch what I can do!" Laxus said, grinning. He concentrated on his hand and a small thunderbolt came out, nearly hitting me.

"Woah, that's awesome Laxus!" I said, amazed at his new power.
"I know, it's awesome, right?" Laxus said, grinning from ear to ear.

"Well, watch what I can do!" I said happily, grabbing my necklace keychain and taking it off my neck.

"Gate of the Crab, I open thee! Cancer!" I yelled out, slicing the air with the key. A man came out, way older than me, who looked like a cross between a crab and a human because he had hands and orange scissors but also had arms sticking out of his body! I sneaked a look at Laxus, and saw that his mouth was wide open.

"Hello Lucy-ebi," the man said, greeting me.

"Hello Cancer. Meet my friend, Laxus Dreyar!" I said happily.

"Hello, nice to meet you, Laxus-ebi," Cancer said, bowing lightly. He shook his hand, with Laxus' eyes bulging out of his sockets. I told him how celestial spirits were spirits that could be called out by Celestial wizards, and that I had one of the 12 rare golden celestial keys. There were only 12 of them in the world! They talked for a little, and I snuggled up against Alice. She smiled at me, and Bolt slept next to Alice. I told Cancer to go back to the Celestial World and Laxus was also feeling sleepy, so he snuggled up against Bolt and went to sleep next to me, his hand in mine.

ZOMG, this was a long chapter! I'll try to make e the chapters this long. TRY. Do you think they should be this long? What do you think?
