New Life at Fairy Tail

The morning sun's rays peeked through the trees, waking Luna up to find Natsu's arms wrapped around her body. He was still asleep, snoring quietly. She stared at his sleeping face for a while, smiling and snuggling closer to him in his arms. Natsu's snoring hitched and his eyelids slowly opened to see Luna's face inches from his. A big blush formed on his face and he let go of Luna abruptly and sat up. She sat up as well.

"S-sorry Luna! I-I didn't mean to cling to you like that." Natsu stuttered a little as he apologized, worried that she might've been creeped out. But Luna just laughed.

"Don't worry about it Natsu. It's no big deal." Luna said, smiling softly as the sun reflected off of her silky, light blue hair and fair skin, making her glow. Natsu stared at Luna for a bit before breaking the silence between them.

"You know, I think I'll nickname you Crystal because you shimmer in the moonlight and glow in the sunlight just like a crystal. And your last name is Crystelle." Natsu said as Luna thought about a nickname for Natsu.

"Hmm, then I'll call you Pinky because your hair is pink." Luna said as she ruffled Natsu's hair. It was surprisingly soft, despite its spiky appearance.

"So I give you a pretty nickname and you give me a silly one? That's not fair." Natsu said with a pout as Luna just laughed.

"That aside, let's continue looking for our parents." Luna said as she stood up and offered her hand to Natsu who took it. As soon as he did, she started walking off with him. The two young dragon slayers walked together through the woods, calling out their parents' names. Suddenly Natsu stopped, causing Luna to bump into him.

"Oww, what was that fo- mmph!" Luna began to say but Natsu covered her mouth with his hand.

"Shh, I smell someone up ahead." Natsu said as he removed his hand from her mouth and held it out protectively in front of her. His sense of smell must have been sharper than hers because she didn't notice any new scents until the two of them got a little closer to the source. Sitting on a tree stump meditating was a short old man with a white mustache and hair with a large bald area on the top of his head. The old man opened one eye before opening the other.

"It's not safe for children to be walking alone in the woods. Where are your parents?" The old man said as he got off the stump and approached Natsu and Luna. Natsu held out his arms protectively in front of Luna.

"Who are you?" Natsu asked, ignoring the old man's question.

"I am Makarov Dreyar, master of the Fairy Tail guild. Now can you tell me, where your parents are?" Makarov introduced himself and asked again.

"O-our parents are missing so we're looking for them. They're dragons." Luna said shyly from behind Natsu. Makarov scratched his chin.

"Dragons, eh? Sorry, I have not seen any dragons. But since you're young, you'll need a family and a place to call home. How about you two join the Fairy Tail guild." Makarov offered as Natsu looked back at Luna for approval. She nodded her head and Natsu turned to face Makarov again.

"Okay fine, we'll join your guild." Natsu said as Makarov smiled.

"Excellent! Before we head to the guild, what are your names?" Makarov asked the two of them.

"I'm Luna Crystelle and this is Natsu Dragneel." Luna said, gesturing to herself and Natsu.

"Luna and Natsu, follow me to Fairy Tail. We'll introduce you to the other guild members and get you settled in." Makarov said as he started leading the way to the Fairy Tail guild with Luna and Natsu following behind him hand-in-hand. When they got to the guild building, Makarov introduced Natsu and Luna to the guild members that were currently present. Then he marked them with the Fairy Tail insignia one after the other.

"Hey Natsu, where did you get your guild mark and what color?" Luna asked Natsu about his new guild mark right after she got hers.

"I got a red one!" Natsu said, smiling as he lifted his right shirt sleeve to reveal the red Fairy Tail guild crest on his right shoulder.

"I got a blue one in the same place!" Luna said excitedly as she showed Natsu her blue Fairy Tail guild crest, striking a cute pose. Natsu blushed slightly. The mage named Gray Fullbuster walked past Natsu and approached Luna, which annoyed Natsu.

"It's Luna right? Welcome to Fairy Tail. I've been here for 3 years now so I know how things run around here. I can show you around if you'd like." Gray said as he held out his hand to Luna who started to blush. Not because she was flattered, but because he stripped naked.

"Gray, your clothes." Cana Alberona said as Gray looked down and freaked out. Luna turned away and hid her blushing face with her hands.

"I'm new here too, but you completely ignore me and go straight to Luna and strip butt naked? You're a pervert." Natsu said as Gray got up into his face.

"What did you just call me?!" Gray yelled, shoving his forehead against Natsu's.

"I called you a pervert." Natsu said, pushing back with his head.

"Oh yeah? Well I wasn't the one blushing while staring at her, you perv!" Gray pushed Natsu back again.

"What did you say?!" Natsu yelled, pressing his forehead against Gray's harder.

"You heard me!" Gray said, smirking.

"That does it! Fire Dragon's Roar!" Natsu yelled as he breathed a bright pillar of hot flames at Gray, sending him flying towards the back of the guild. He crash landed into a table, breaking it in half.

"So you're a fire mage, huh. This will be interesting. Ice Make Geyser!" Gray said as he pounded his fist into his palm off to his side. All of the sudden, a pillar of ice shot up from under Natsu, blasting him into the air. But Natsu used the leverage to his advantage.

"Thanks for the lift! And for your information, I'm a fire dragon slayer! Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!" Natsu yelled as he pulled his fist back and engulfed it in flames, landing it on Gray who made an ice shield to try and stop the attack, but Natsu's flaming fist melted past it and nailed Gray in the face. The two boys continued to fight until Erza Scarlet decided she'd had enough of their bickering.

"Alright that's enough!" Erza said as she got between the two boys and punched them both in the face at once with each fist. Both Natsu and Gray were down for the count. Luna ran to Natsu's side to see if he was okay while Erza dusted her palms off on her armor.

"Natsu! Natsu! Hey Pinky, get a hold of yourself! Wake up!" Luna said frantically, shaking Natsu by his shirt. Natsu was totally out of it, dazed and making goofy sounds. Erza put her hand on Luna's shoulder.

"He'll be fine. Don't worry, it's just a minor concussion." Erza said as she withdrew her hand and walked away. This became a regular occurrence in the Fairy Tail guild hall. Over the years, Luna grew closer to all the Fairy Tail guild members, especially Natsu. One day, Natsu and Luna came across large eggs. They both took care of them until winged cats, known as exceeds, hatched from the eggs. Natsu named his exceed Happy and Luna named her exceed Elise. New guild members joined and Luna became friends with all of them, Lucy Heartfilia becoming her closest best gal friend. They faced many challenges and hardships together, only making their bonds stronger. But Luna's bond with Natsu was the strongest, a bond so unbreakable that even betrayal wouldn't be able to sever it. Not like that would ever happen though. The whole guild could see that Natsu and Luna had feelings for each other, though they didn't realize it themselves. It was now year 791 and Luna and Natsu were now 26 years old. The war with Tartaros had just ended with Fairy Tail victorious. Luna and Natsu finally found out what happened to their dragon parents as did the other dragon slayers that were raised by dragons. One day, Natsu and Happy approached Luna and her exceed Elise in the guild hall.

"Hey Crystal." Natsu said to Luna to get her attention. The blue haired ice dragon slayer turned to him and smiled.

"What is it Pinky?" Luna asked Natsu as he and his exceed Happy approached her and Elise.

"Me and Happy are going to go off on a training adventure for a year. Do you wanna come with?" Natsu asked her excitedly. Luna felt a little unsure of leaving her Fairy Tail home, but she was going to be with Natsu.

"Well?" Natsu asked, his eyes sparkling with anticipation as Luna thought about it a little while longer before finally deciding.

"Sure, that sounds fun. Are you going to invite anyone else?" Luna agreed and asked Natsu.

"Nope, it's just gonna be you, me, Happy, and Elise!" Natsu grinned as Luna blushed and her heart started beating faster. They were going to be traveling together, alone... and their exceed partners, of course.

"Great! We leave first thing tomorrow morning. I'm gonna go home and pack now. You should probably come with and do the same." Natsu said as he and Happy headed off to the cottage they shared with Luna and Elise.

"Hey wait for me Pinky, Happy!" Luna said as she ran after Natsu and Happy with her blonde exceed Elise flying right behind her.
