Review by Kendall L. 
 
Lucy is a normal celestial wizard just passing through a normal town when she finds another wizard named Salamander. At first she thinks she has found a powerful wizard, and starts to fall in love with him, but all the sudden some kid named Natsu and his cat Happy interrupted their connection, and found that Salamander was using a spell on her. To show her appreciation to Natsu and his cat, she treats them to lunch, not knowing that Natsu is also a wizard. Besides that, Lucy has always dreamed of joining a wizard guild (a "clan" of wizards that come together through thick and thin and look for assignments to do), and the one she wants to join desperately is a guild called Fairy Tail. When she is fantasizing about joining aloud, Salamander hears this, and uses it to his advantage. He said if Lucy went to him to a party on his yacht that he would let her become part of the Fairy Tail guild, because he was part of it. Now knowing this information, Lucy sucks up her rage for now and agrees to go to the party with him, finally getting to enter the Fairy Tail guild!
 
However, things turn for the worst at the party on the yacht just a few hours later accepting the invite. Lucy figures out that Salamander isn't really who he says he is, and brings women on his yacht to sell them as slaves. She tries to use her celestial keys, but "Salamander" takes them from her and throws them in the ocean. Now defenseless, there's nothing she can do. When all seems lost, a familiar face comes to save her... and it's the real Salamander! So what will happen to Lucy and the real Salamander? Will Lucy join Fairy Tail? You got to read to find out!
