Our story starts in the stunningly sunny town of Magnolia, home of the famous wizard guild Fairytail. I had been spending my nights there for the past week as my older sister Ivory, an S-Class wizard, had been out on a job. I loved being able to spend so much time with everyone. I had especially enjoyed Gray's help with my combat skills. Even over the last couple of hours I've punched him at least 20 times. I was sat next to Cana, watching her read her cards. It had always fascinated me the way she could tell what they said. No matter how many times she explained it to me I never got it. Gray came over and started trying to get her attention. I looked up at him "What do you want popsicle? Can't you see she's concentrating?" His brows furrowed and he clasped his fist in his hand. "Oh, you wanna go combustagirl?" I laugh before folding my arms "Not till you put on some clothes, Elsa." He groaned at the name. "You've literally not stopped calling me that since that dumb movie lacrama was released." I stood up and headed over to the bar to get some juice. "Yeah, and I don't intend on stopping either." I got my drink and sat back down with Cana. Gray had slumped down into the seat I was in so I just scowled at him and perched on the table. I always love these moments and it makes me wish they'd last forever. But I also can't wait for Ivory to get home. Seeing as she was an S-Class wizard her jobs usually took a little longer than normal so I was used to her being gone for months sometimes. It was okay though because I knew she'd always come back for me.

A few days passed and Ivory returned from her mission. I wasted no time in sprinting to her and giving her the biggest hug. She smiled and hugged me back, lifting me up to sit on her shoulders. I beam widely as she carries me over to the master who smiles. "(Y/N) dear, could you give me and Ivory a minute to speak." Ivory puts me down and I nod "Of course Master." I spot Lisanna at the other side of the bar so I go over to sit with her. I really liked Lisanna because she was the only person who didn't flinch if my hair went near them. I didn't blame them for flinching I mean my hair is flames but it'd be nice of them to stop once they realised it wouldn't hurt. Me and Lisanna were chatting quietly when the guild Hall went quiet. From the looks of it, a small boy around our age had wandered in. He looked like he was on a mission as he strutted straight up to Master. "Hello Mister, can you tell me if you've seen a dragon around here?" I almost laughed at him. Imagine coming to a guild just to make a joke like that. That's when I saw the look on his face. He wasn't joking. He actaully was looking for a dragon. I listened intently as he explained that this dragon, Igneel, who had raised him from being a baby and taught him magic had disappeared one day and he was looking for him. The Master told him that, while we hadn't seen a dragon, he was more than welcome to stay here while he looked. The boy happily agreed. I got bored and so turned back to my conversation with Lisanna.

After about ten minutes I got this weird feeling like someone was watching me. That's because someone was. I turned on my stool and glared at the pink haired boy from before. "What're you looking at, Shrimp?" His eyes widened slightly before he scowled, crossing his arms and pouting. "Jeese, you don't have to be so mean, I was only lookin'" I hop down from my stool. "Aww, don't pout or you might cry. What was so mesmerising you had to stare at me then?" He stops pouting, a small blush on his cheeks from embarrassment. "Your hair.. Is it actually fire?" I sigh and roll my eyes. "Yes it's actually fire. It's the only part of my body that I can't turn off." He looks confused so I sigh again, crossing my arms. "Man, you really are dense. My magic allows me to turn my whole body into fire or it will once I'm stronger." I give him a demonstration by turning my hand into flames and passing my other hand through it. "It means that no weapon can harm my body. Impressive, huh?" His eyes sparkle a little before his stomach rumbles. "It looks pretty yummy to me." My eyes widen before I scoff. "What do you mean yummy you little pink haired freak?" I hear Ivory chuckle before her hand comes to ruffle my hair. "Don't be mean to Natsu, (Y/N). Now, why don't you explain to her why you think it looks yummy." He smiles at Ivory and nods. Gray comes over in his underwear yet again. "Why would anyone ever think YOU were yummy?" I scowl and roll up my sleeves "You wanna go, frostbite?" Gray smirks "Always." He throws a punch and I duck it. It flies straight into Pinkie's face. He stumbles back a bit, holding his cheek. I can't help but burst out with laughter. I clutch my stomach laughing as they clash heads, throwing insults at eachother. This is the way the guild's meant to be.
