A/N NOTE: Property of Hiro Mashima
Hello! I was supposed to do a sequel of Halloween Tail…but my head went blank… and then suddenly I had the idea of 'princesses and bodyguard' sort… I'm giving it a try… also I'll change my way of writing: o if possible so enjoy !

Lucy Heartfilia is running away. Her blonde hair untied, her dressed torn and with a little backpack.
She was tired of being the little princess; she wants to see the world. And the reason behind her new desire of being free is a guy; Natsu Dragneel.

One night she sneaked out of the castle to attend a festival. She'll never forget the first time she set her eyes on him.

She has never seen a fire breather before. He was holding a wooden stick which was on fire at one end and using it he breath fire. It was splendid, his pink hair itself look like fire to her. His muscles were flexing and his bare muscular chest made her heart skip a beat.

It's been two years since that night. Natsu was very friendly and lively. He had noticed how Lucy looked helpless and out of place that night. Who come to a festival dressed in pyjama? Natsu is always accompanied by his little blue cat; Happy. He went and befriend Lucy. He showed her the beauty of the night; the breeze, the stars and the joy in the air. Lucy never felt that comfortable with someone, least of all with a guy. She had to say, Natsu was not a gentleman, he was wild but fun to be with.

Every night during those two years, Natsu would climb water pipes to reach Lucy's bedroom. He'll narrate to her how much fun he had, with whom he had a fight and sometime he even felt asleep in her room. No matter how many time he come, Lucy always freaked out when she enter her room and find him sitting casually on the bed with his cat.

One night Lucy was crying. 'Why are you crying?' Natsu asked with pure concern.

'I feel lonely. No matter how big my house is, it never feels like a home. Yes, I have my 12 tutors and maids, but dad is never free for me. You are my only friend.'

Natsu wiped her tears with his hand, then stretch her other hand towards her: 'Then come with me and Happy.'

He made everything sound so simple. Since that day, every now and then Lucy had tried to run away and every time she was caught. The more she tried, the more her dad restricts her from going anywhere. She had given up the idea of running away.

But then Natsu disappeared. Every night she waited for him but he never came. So she decided to go and find him.

That's the reason why she was running away with a torn dress. The sun was bright in the sky. Her night escape never worked, so she wanted to escape in the day. She ran as fast as she could, barely looking where she was going, when she bumped into someone and fell.

'LUCY HEARTFILIA!' A shiver runs down Lucy's spine. It was her swimming teacher: Miss Aquarius.

She was doomed. 'I-can-explain…' Lucy stammer. The slender woman with a scary look, ignored the blonde. She dragged her by her arm and threw her in the pool.
*splash*
'It's time for your swimming session and you are late by two minute! You think I can waste my precious time with you! HUH!'

Lucy didn't argue and tried swimming in her torn dressed. Here goes her chance to escape!

It's just the beginning, but I'm loving the idea… Next chapter I'll bring in other character… Her celestial spirit will be her tutors… I hope you like the idea… :D please review… you like or hate it…but review!
