Hello again! Lollipop1141 here! This is another two-shot for NaLu so I hope you'll like it! I seem to be fond of two-shots, aren't I? Anyway, I'll leave you off to your reading!

What if Lucy and Natsu didn't meet each other in Fiore? What if they have met a long time ago, but they never remembered it?

=.=

Ten years ago…

"Mistress Lucy!"

"Where are you, Lucy-sama?!"

"Lucy!"

The servants in the Heartfilia mansion were in turmoil as they searched for the young mistress who seemed to have disappeared in thin air. She was just in the garden playing with her doll sister, Michelle, and yet ten minutes later, she was gone.

What they didn't know was that Lucy was kidnapped. But she wasn't taken by some suspicious men.

She was stolen away by a dragon!

Lucy looked down at her home in delight. She had never seen the place from a bird's view before so it was no wonder that she wasn't afraid of the big red dragon that carried her on its back. "This is really a delight!" She exclaimed to him. Lucy was from a sophisticated family so she spoke with class. The dragon smiled at her.

"Isn't it? I am Igneel." The dragon spoke. The girl stared at it in surprise then laughed. This was the first time hearing words from an animal.

"My name is Lucy Heartfilia. Where are you taking me, Igneel-san?" She inquired as they left her home and headed for the mountains. "Are you going through those high mountains? Wouldn't it be cold?"

"You'll be fine." Igneel reassured her as he swiftly flew towards it. "You will be warm when you are with me. Better hold on tight."

"Hai!" She chimed; gripping the dragon's scales tightly and lay low just like how she was taught by her horse-back riding master when her horse speeded up.

With a sudden burst of strength, the great beast shot through the mountains, the landscape around him was a windswept blur. Lucy closed her eyes tightly, smiling widely as her hair flew loosely around her head. Suddenly, it was all over. Igneel had slowed down and when Lucy looked around her, she couldn't help but let out a gasp of astonishment and excitement as she surveyed the land that she now found herself at.

A vast area filled with trees in different colours, tall waterfalls cascading off a high, red cliff, rainbows forming in the air as the sun shone brightly down the valley. It was Lucy's first time out of the garden so it was a really beautiful present for her from Mother Nature. She laughed in delight as large, strange-looking purple birds flew around her head, showering her with flowers. It was like a welcome party for her and Igneel.

"I shall take you to my home to meet a friend." Igneel rumbled as he flew down to the middle of the forest.

"A friend." Lucy murmured dreamily.

As the treetops drew closer, she began to feel afraid. She shut her eyes for the second time, but she didn't feel the branches scratching her. Instead, it seemed as if the plants parted to let the dragon pass.

After a while, she felt Igneel stop and she slowly opened her eyelids. What met her were a tiny house, a small yard, and a shock of pink hair belonging to a person with black eyes. She stared back at them.

Suddenly, the small kid jumped out to her and they both tumbled down the ground. "Owww!" Lucy complained as she tried to get up. The kid sat up and grabbing her shoulders, he stared closely at her.

"You're weird!" He suddenly exclaimed. He had on shorts, sandals, and a muffler around his neck. He was bare chested.

"You're the one who's weird!" She shot back at him. She was about to say more, but he interrupted her. "What's your name?"

"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." She replied. The boy gave her a toothy grin.

"I'm Natsu Dragneel! Let's be friends!" He exclaimed as he stuck out his hand. She glanced at Igneel, but when she got no reaction from dragon, she decided for herself.

She took his hand and shook it. She smiled at him. "Uhn!"

=.=

For many days, Lucy and Natsu played together, either in the waterfalls, in the yard, or in the forest. However, every morning, the pink-haired boy would have to train. The first time Lucy saw Natsu produce flames from his hands, the image burned into her memories for a long time.

"What are you doing, Natsu?" Lucy inquired the first morning. Natsu was standing on a large rock in a clearing a little off from the house.

"Training." He answered simply, his brows creasing in concentration. Knowing that when one trained, they would have to be left alone, she sat off to a grassy area and plucked out small golden flowers and twisted them to make a crown, never leaving her eyes off the boy.

Taking a deep breath, Natsu yelled, "Fire dragon's wing slash!"

And his hands suddenly burst with fire, engulfing his fists whole, but then suddenly went out. Lucy stared wide-eyed at what just happened. Natsu had made fire come out of nowhere!

"Magic." She said softly in awe. She had seen magic and learned about them with her tutor. There was one particular magic that she had an interest in. "Dragon Slaying Magic."

She ran up to him and clapped her hands. "Natsu, that was amazing!"

His eyebrows rose in surprise then he grinned. "Heh, thanks Luce!"

Lucy nodded her head, suddenly shy. She had been called names before like, Lucy-sama, Lucy Heartfilia-dono, and even ones like 'Heartfilia brat'. But this was the first time she was given a nickname by a friend. "You're welcome."

"Hey," Natsu jumped down from the boulder and landed in front of her, taking her hand. "I wanna show you something! It's awesome!"

"Really?"

"Yeah!"

They went deep in the woods, Natsu dragging Lucy behind him, with her barely keeping up. But she didn't let go of his hand. After a while, she began to notice slight changes around her. Trees with flecks of silver, the air seeming to shimmer in a golden hue, and what was stranger still was the light tinkering of music.

Natsu slowed down and warned Lucy to be quiet as they crept slowly through golden bushes. They crawled inside and as Natsu opened the bush large enough for both of them to see through. Lucy's eyes sparkled in awe.

Fairies were flying out from a hole in an ancient oak tree, their dust gently falling down, coating the forest floor with magic. Many were making the leaves on some plants red, while others helped the other buds grow.

"Pretty cool, huh?" Natsu said as they slowly went back, careful not to disturb the busy little people.

"It was… marvelous!" Lucy exclaimed as she giggled in delight. Natsu joined in her happiness as they ran back to the house.

Many months passed and Natsu and Lucy spent their time together under the bright sun, exploring, doing daring adventures, and many more! There was not a day that was boring.

=.=

The full moon was out and Igneel was awake as he gazed quietly at the two sleeping children. The night was chilly, but Natsu and Lucy didn't need any blankets. Natsu was already a natural heat generator.

Natsu had his arms around Lucy's shoulders, burying his face in her blonde hair, with her arms around him too. They were sound asleep, dreaming pleasant things.

However, for Igneel, an unavoidable event was about to come and as he looked at his child and the girl, he knew he would have to make an important decision.

And I shall stop here! I hope you liked it! XP Of course, you might know what will happen later (IF you can guess) to Natsu and Lucy and Igneel. C'mon, take a guess down below. XP But it won't be until the next chapter that you'll really know what will happen!

^^ Until next time!
