Recap: Lucy and Happy made the bold decision to leave the guild alongside Natsu. But not before she gives the guild a piece of her mind. The three share a nice heartwarming conversation back in Lucy's apartment as they decide what to do next. Lucy recommends training so she can get stronger to protect Natsu and Happy. They head of on their journey and come across someone they didn't think they'd meet again. Who exactly is this person?

CHAPTER 3: It's You!
----------------------
"So, where are we going Lushie?" Happy asked as he stuffed a fish in his mouth. He was once again sitting on Lucy's head as the trio ventured out into the forest. "Well, first, there have been rumors about diamond celestial keys. And according to what I've heard, they can be found on Mt. Shiomi!" Lucy replied excitedly. As they walked, Lucy turned her head to the side to see Natsu with a depressed look on his face. Her sweet smile turned into a frown as she turned to look at the road ahead of her. Natsu noticed and felt even worse about making Lucy sad."I understand you're sad Natsu. But keep your chin up! From here on out, I'll make it my own personal duty to keep you happy!" Lucy said happily as she grabbed Natsu's hand. Natsu couldn't really help but smile. His personality was really starting to rub off on the girl next to him. He held her hand in return and Happy giggled, "You guys lo~ve each other~!" Lucy blushed and lightly flicked Happy's head. "Shut up stupid cat!" Happy pouted as he pulled out another fish and began eating it.
"Where should we start training?" Natsu asked, because the whole time, Lucy's been leading the way. "Good question, there's this forest called Astralcolley, Astral Forest for short. It's right next to the mountain where the keys are located, and there are good open spaces for training." Lucy answered, it's almost as if she'd been planning to go anyways. Even if Natsu wasn't forced to leave the guild. They walked in comfortable silence until they reached their destination, Astral Forest.
"Woah, it's... beautiful." Lucy complemented as she unconsciously let go of Natsu's hand. Heck, she probably forgot she was still holding on to it. Natsu looked around at the unique scenery surrounding him. The trees had long, thin, purple leaves. Not only that, but the trees were huge. You could probably make a little house on one of them. They blocked the sun but let a little bit of light in through the leaves. It added a nice touch. There were a variety of flowers; roses, violets, they were even flowers with crystal petals, actual crystals. You could see cute little animals everywhere, simply minding their own business, some even seem to be playing with each other.
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, oh my goodness! I can't believe I'm actually here!!" Lucy squealed in delight as she bent down to pet on of the little animals. Happy began to drool as he looked at the pond. "Look at all of those little fishies! They're even in different colors! I bet the orange one tastes like... orange fish!!!" Happy said with excitement as he stood up on Lucy's head and did a little dance. Natsu quietly looked around, observing his surroundings
It was amazing to say the least, but something felt off to him. He just couldn't seem to figure out what it was. Then again, it's probably nothing. "C'mon Natsu! We have to go get set up for training!" Lucy shouted as she began walking to find a big enough opening in the forest. Natsu ran up to her and Happy. "Guys, I'm starting to get a weird feeling. It's not really bad, but I don't know if it's good either." Natsu said seriously. The duo looked at him, very much so confused. Lucy patted his head, causing Natsu to pout like a little kid.
"Don't worry Natsu, we'll be careful. I highly doubt that anything bad will be out here." Lucy reassured as she began to walk forward. Natsu still didn't listen, and kept a sharp eye out. Even if there really isn't anything to worry about, Natsu can't risk loosing Lucy or Happy, they're all he has left. "This looks perfect! What do you boys think?" Lucy asked as she pointed to a large open area surrounded by trees. It was the perfect place to start training. And the mountain was literally 10 minutes away from the area they were at. Nothing could possibly go wrong.
With Fairy Tail...
"I can't believe they're gone..." Romeo said to himself. He wasn't expecting Natsu to 'do what he did', and he certainly wasn't expecting Lucy and Happy to leave with him too. "I... can't either." Wendy said sadly, she couldn't stop herself from crying. Her idol 'hurt' so many innocent people, and the person she saw as an older sister left with him. It was way too much for her to take in. The guild sat in silence. They were still having trouble processing the event of the previous day. Unfortunately, there gonna have to do it, and fast, because this is gonna be the start of the rest of their lives.
"I just don't understand why that idiot did that. And now, he's dragged Lucy and Happy with him." Gray said, he clenched his fists tighter with each word. Juvia noticed and rubbed his back to try and comfort him. "Juvia doesn't understand either. And she's really sad about it. She's also sad that she might not see love- Lucy, ever again... Juvia wishes that she was nicer to her, especially since she was nice to Juvia." Juvia spoke, her voice cracked as tears fell from her eyes. Clouds started forming outside and it eventually started raining.
This was definitely gonna put an even bigger damper on the day. "I guess... promising to marry him... was just a mistake." Lisanna said to Levy as she put her hand over her heart and let the tears fall from her eyes. Levy felt even worse now that her best friend was gone. Levy was also confused at what Lisanna was talking about. She knew about Lisanna wanting to marry him, but she knew it wouldn't matter since Natsu has it baaaad for Lucy. He's even told Levy about it, but that's a story for a later date. Let's go back to true protagonists of this story... shall we?
With Natsu, Lucy, and Happy...
"Guys, it's starting to rain!" Happy exclaimed as he looked up at the cloudy sky. Light rain drops slowly began to make their way on the ground. It was a tad bit unusual, since it was just completely clear skies. It was safe for them to assume that this was the work of Juvia. "We can just hide under one of these branches. Their probably big enough to provide shade for a whole guild!" Lucy said as the trio found the biggest branch, -which was basically all of them- sat down, and watched the rain. "Alright, we can start training tomorrow. Okay?" Lucy asked the boys as she took Happy off of her head for the first time today.
They both agreed and began to make themselves comfortable. Happy quickly flew back up into Lucy's head and fell asleep almost immediately. 'Kinda defeats the purpose of taking you off my head, huh?' Lucy thought to herself as she giggled. Natsu rested himself in between her legs and laid back so that the back of his head was in her chest. Lucy blushed as she watched Natsu make himself comfortable. She started playing with his hair -which was very soft to her- as she started feeling a little sleepy. Just as she and Natsu were about to fall asleep, footsteps, along with a familiar voice to Lucy, ascended from the trees.
"My goodness Lucy, you've grown up so much." The person said. Once they were close enough, Lucy could finally recognize who it was. "It's you! Dammit I forgot your name!" Lucy said in shock. It was the man who would visit her back when her mother died. He stopped visiting one day, much to Lucy's dismay. She hasn't seen him since she was ten, and that was 7 years ago. "I must say that I'm hurt Lucy. Well, it has been 7 years so I don't expect you to remember my name, or even me for that matter. Allow me to reintroduce myself to both of you." He said with a smile on his face.
"Reintroduce yourself to both of us? I've never met you before." Natsu said confused as he sat up. "On the contrary you both have. And you've both even met each other before. It was brief, but you both hit it off splendidly." He said as he got a little bit close that they could easily. "My name is Zeref Dragneel. I used to play with Lucy years ago. I'm also you older brother, Natsu." Natsu and Lucy's eyes widened.
"Your his/my what?!"
