The Chase

Introduction

Lucy slowly approached the master of Fairy Tail's door. She was unsure why he had Mira ask her to come to his room as soon as she arrived at the guild. Lucy thought back to their latest mission which has ended in flames. Quite literally. Her and Team Natsu were trying to help a farmer who lived way outside of the city. One thing led to another and by the end of the day more than half of the farmers crops had been burnt. And as always Team Natsu ended up not making a single Jewel. Lucy sighed at the memory. Her rent was going to be due soon and she really needed the money from that mission.

She looked up and realized shew as at the masters door. Taking a deep breath she pushed the door open.

"Welcome my child" greeted Makarov. She smiled up at Master but then noticed spiky hair peeking over the chair that was between her and the guild masters desk.

"Yo" Gray turned to Lucy and with a nonchalant aura surrounding him as usual.

"You are probably wondering why I asked you to come here" Makarov said while motioning Lucy to sit down at the chair besides Gray. Lucy sat down and looked at Gray looking for some explanation but all he did was shrug his shoulders.

"The reason why I called both of you here is because a special mission was sent to me and it requires the aid of a few elite and discrete mages. And since Erza left this morning for an S-Class mission I thought you two would be perfect for the job."

"Wait master why only us and not Natsu?" Lucy questioned.

"This mission asks for reserved and and unsuspecting mages and as we all know Natsu does not fit that description."

Gray chuckled and Lucy nodded as she thought back to all the missions that had gone up in flames because of Natsu.

"Lucy as I understand your rent is do soon and if the both of you complete this mission successfully it could be very rewarding. And I thought the two of you could work nicely together" Master said while grinning.

Lucy's head perked up at the idea of being able to pay her rent on time.

Gray leaned forward with anticipation.

"Master what exactly do they want us to do?"

"Well you see…"

Sorry I know this was short but I hopefully if people are interested I will write and upload the next chapter soon! I promise fluff is to come~
