"I'm Natsu, it's nice to meet you," After saying that, Natsu almost cringed at what he saw. The two had already started eating, they weren't messy while eating but they weren't exactly neat either.

He'd agreed to treat them to lunch and honestly he didn't mind, but watching them eat was a bit- unappetizing. Lucy gobbled up her food and chugged the drinks. She paid attention to where the food went but didn't really care as long as the majority of it went into her mouth. Happy was even worse.

The blonde girl took a quick break and looked Natsu in the eye very seriously, "Thank you very much for the food." She then broke eye contact and went back to eating.

Food wasn't exactly 'flying everywhere' but people were starting to stare at the beautiful girl stuffing food down her throat. Some landed on the table and some went down the girl's shirt, she didn't care either way.

Natsu sweat dropped thinking about the 1,000 jewel he had saved. It all went into this girl's stomach. "So that girl was using a pretty powerful charm spell, it tricked everyone into loving her, even me. It must've been hard to get as it was banned in stores 10 years ago. She must really have wanted the attention if she was willing to go that far." I squinted my eyes in disgust at the last part, "I really have to thank you guys, otherwise I would've been kept under the spell!" I opened up with a grin towards the girl and the cat, both were struggling with some kind of fish.

The both conquered the fish and paused, "You're very welcome, I am now aware of how greatly I affected your life."

Natsu inwardly thought, 'modest much?' but came out and admitted to being a wizard, they silently acknowledged that. The girl she had just met was picking apart and eating apricots, "I haven't joined a guild yet, but I will soon. Guilds are organizations where wizards can share and earn money through jobs, since I haven't joined a guild you could say I'm not a real wizard, " I said with a bit of embarrassment, "But there are so many guilds I'm sure I'll be able to find one where I belong even if I can't get into a popular one," I rested my head on my palm and stared out the window. Lucy just kept adding to the stack of plates on her side. "But still, I want to join the best one! It's probably going to be really hard though, it's filled with so many amazing wizards!" I shook my head at the despair, "I'm definitely going to join!" I sighed while girl and the cat just exchanged looks. "Ah, I just can't stop talking about it, sorry, so sorry, I'm just really excited because I'll be able to take all kinds of jobs!"

"That's cool I guess," the blonde looked up from her bowl.

The cat sitting next to the fish just added, "You talk a lot."

Then I realized I forgot about their goal, "You guys wanted to find someone, right?"

"Yeah! We're looking for Igneel!" Happy said, well, happily.

"We heard that a Salamander was coming to town so we came to see him, but it was just that random girl." The girl said sadly, her mouth full of pizza.

"Yeah, he didn't look anything like a Salamander." Happy added as Lucy shoved the whole rest of the pizza in her mouth. She brushed off the crumbs on her scarf.

"I know right, I bet he can't even breath fire like a real dragon, like Igneel," Lucy pouted..

"I'm not understanding, is this person you are searching for, dragon like?" he asked.

"No no no, the thing is, Igneel is a dragon." Lucy said with a blank look on her face.

An image of a terrifying fire breathing beast came into my mind, "Huh?"

"AYE! He's an actual dragon!" Happy said as if advertising for a commercial.

That's when I almost freaked, "What are you talking about!" Dragons are real? They're so rare I thought they were myth! Then I realized something else, the pair of them, they're idiots, "Why would a fire dragon be in the middle of town?" I slammed my palms down on the table, I was standing up. They looked about to counter that but nothing came out of their mouths, "You just now realized that?" I almost yelled in disbelief. I calmed down and left the booth, "Well I have to leave now, enjoy your food," I waved at them and the waitress was saying her goodbyes until her eyes widened at a sight behind me, I almost didn't want to see it.

Both of them were on the ground bowing, "Thank you for the food!" they said in unison.

"Cut it out, people are staring!" I yelled loudly, "It's alright, we're even, you helped me so I helped you," I put my arms up as if to surrender.

The girl turned to the cat as if having a secret meeting between them although I could obviously hear the two, "Should it even count? We weren't trying to help her," the girl said.

"Yeah I feel like we owe her," the cat added.

Then the girl got an idea, if the Salamander guy giving out his autograph made people happy, the blonde took a napkin and a pen and offered her own autograph in which it poorly said, "Lucy Dragneel." Natsu didn't pay any attention to it.

He breathed in, "I don't want it!" he yelled at the idiots.

Natsu POV

I sat on a bench reading the magazine, Sorcerer Weekly, "Wow, they did it again, Fairy Tail is always causing trouble," I said to myself. "What? They completed the mission but destroyed 7 homes? Sheesh. Ooh, Jane is the model again, every girl I know would practically give up their lives just to meet him. Then again I don't know many girls. He's part of Fairy Tail, I wish I knew how to get in contact with them. It seems so confusing! But that's not going to stop me from joining ,even if they destroy everything, they're still the best!"

"Ah, so you wish to join Fairy Tail," a girl said in a knowing voice, "I've been looking everywhere for you."

I recognized her immediately as she crawled out of the bushes with one hand on her chin making a smug look. Her purple hair smoothed to one side and the tattoo on her forehead was ever present. I don't get why guys find her attractive. "Salamander!" I was put on high alert.

"I wanted to personally invite you to my yacht party tonight," she said in a smooth voice.

Now knowing better I pointed my finger at him, "Your charm spell won't be working on me today! The weakness of your ring is being aware of its power!"

"I knew it the moment I saw you, you must be a wizard! It is no matter, please attend my party while the offer still stands," she said this as if it were the greatest honor in the world.

"Why should I? You're just some creep." I crossed my arms and turned away

He was obviously offended by the creep remark and it was as if the insult stuck out of him like a sign, "Why would you be so mean and say things like that?"

"Because it is true, your spell, only a creep would go that far to be popular." I turned around to face him.

She pouted, "I don't see why you're mad, it's just a game, who doesn't want to feel like a celebrity at their own party?"

I turned around, I had given up on him, "This just proves that even famous wizards can be big idiots," I shrugged and was about to walk away when.

"You want to join Fairy Tail, do you not?" the so called Salamander asked me. I almost broke I was so surprised I gasped and she grinned, taking that as a yes she continued, "Then you must've heard of 'Salamander' from Fairy Tail?

I was dumb struck, "Of course I have! But are you really telling me you are she?" I accusingly pointed my finger at the woman, she just nodded with her hand at her chin trying to look cool.

"I guess if you wanted to join I could try to convince the Master," I couldn't believe my eyes when she said that. Salamander was going to put in a good word for me?!

I immediately took the bribe, "I would love to come to your party!"

The girl sweatdropped as I fawned over her, "That was easier than I thought."

My eyes practically glittered, "So- you think you can get me into Fairy Tail?"

"I don't know why I shouldn't, just- don't mention the charm spell," he convinced me.

I pretended to zip my mouth shut, "I won't say anything!" I promised.

"That's great, remember to show up at the party!" she waved and took off into the sky on a trail of purple fire.

So many things happened on that boat, so many lives were put in danger. So how did we end up running away from the army laughing, our hands interlocked? (AN: I'm so lazy!)
