Lucy walked, giddy with every step. Today she was moving into a new apartment, her last one was becoming quite stuffy. And it was a great deal! It was so cheap and the Land Lord pretty much just gave it to her, although it aroused suspicion, Lucy thought nothing of it. In no time at all she was there. She opened the door and her jaw dropped to the floor, It was so untidy!. Dust collected all over the walls, food remains and clothes riddled the floor. She sighed, at least the apartment was cheap.

She started to clean, 'Who ever last lived here sure was a jerk' as she continued She corrected herself 'Who ever last lived here sure was a jerk, with a very... interesting... fashion sense'. When she finished, it looked almost new but Lucy realised why it was so cheap. There was no bed, only a hammock, and there was a strange blue cat sleeping on that hammock. She tried to pick it up and put it outside, she figured it was blue due to a recent prank. The cat scratched her and jumped to the corner, She yelped in shock and pain. Lucy knew she had to bandage it, but she didn't have a first aid kit handy. Lucy racked her brain for any ideas, when she remembered there was a bar downstairs. Maybe they would have something, She quickly opened her door trying not to make the injury worse and made her way downstairs.

Lucy stopped at the door, her anxiety getting the better of her. 'Would they like her?' 'What if they didn't believe her?' She pushed them to the back of her mind as she pushed it open, Everybody in the room looked at her but then went back to their own business. Lucy looked visually relived and made her way over to the bar tender, before she could get a word in the white haired bar tended greeted her "You must be the newbie! Welcome! Is there anything I can get you-" Her sentence cut short as she noticed the giant cut on Lucy's arm, she looked up at Lucy and Lucy nodded so she would get the hint.

The bartender moved off to get her a bandage leaving her to look around, This sure was an odd apartment complex, it was almost as if they were all family. Lucy half smiled, She hoped she could become close to everyone. She looked down remembering her own family, Her mother had died at a young age and her father had stopped acting like a father and more like an overseer. Maybe this was the key to fill the hole that they left, However her thoughts were interrupted by the white haired bar tender returning with a first aid kit in hand.

The bar tender introduced herself as Mirajane but that she was free to call her Mira, "I'm Lucy!" Lucy cheerfully replied. As Mira was bandaging her arm she commented "Oh no, did happy do this to you?" Lucy stared confused "oh right! you don't know who that is, Well he is a blue cat that loves that room" many Questions circled her mind and Mira could clearly see it so she said "Don't be afraid ask any question you like" With a beautiful smile. Lucy envied her because of her looks, but quickly came back to reality and asked the first thing that came to mind.

"Happy is naturally blue?!" Mira chuckled, "Yes he is, he is quite strange isn't he? We love him all the same" This answer seemed to satisfy Lucy "I figured that he was like that because of a prank" Lucy laughed slightly but looked over to see that Mira wasn't. She looked down sadly, "Pranks huh?... Its been a while, I guess nobody has it in them to be that carefree anymore" Lucy realised she had hit a nerve and decided against pushing further.

"So about happy..." Lucy attempted to change the topic and this seemed to ease Mira's unease. "Yes, So we can try to remove him and have him sleep with someone else, but it would be very hard on him. He barely ever leaves that room and for... reasons ... it holds a special place in his heart"

Lucy seemed to understand, "I mean i guess he could stay... as long as he doesn't scratch me anymore" She said reluctantly but didn't regret it after seeing the grateful expression on Mira's face. "I better go get ready" Lucy said sadly, She had enjoyed talking to Mira. Mira simply smiled and waved and said "Come back down tomorrow and we can introduce you to everyone!"

Lucy nodded and turned around but inside she was doing summersaults, She never had to many friends as a child and really only played with her servants. That's right, She was rich, but she wasn't proud of it. It made some people avoid her like a virus, and other attracted to her just for status. Did anybody like her for her? Two. One of them died, the other stopped caring. Her parents.

She slowly opened her door and peered inside, It was exactly how she left it with the cat on the hammock once again. Lucy looked to see if there was anything in the fridge, ocasionally looking over her shoulder at the cat. She was becoming very paranoid. In the fridge was Fish, Nothing but Fish. Her thoughts wondered to what Mira had said "But we still love him the same" .We, Maybe the others that lived here left this for him.

She grabbed one of the fished and slowly approached the strange blue cat. "Happy?" She cautiously called "Let's be friends okay?", She didn't know what she was expecting, Cats can't understand English. Or can they. This cat somehow seemed satisfied with what she said and took the fish as a peace offering, then went back on the hammock and laid there giving her a look as if to say I-won't-bother-you-I'll-just-be-here. Lucy, noticing that it was late, grabbed some blankets and pillows she had brought with her and moved to the couch.

She mentally decided to get a bed tomorrow, She really didn't need furniture it was already here. It made her wonder, why would someone just leave all there personally belongings here? Clothes, Pretty much everything. Her thoughts slowly faded as she drifted into slumber.

Rays of light came into Lucy's view as she awoke, She yawned and looked around the room, The cat was still sleeping on her hammock. She smiled, although he scratched her he was quite cute.

She got up off the couch, but realised she didn't have any food in the cupboard. Lucy groaned loudly, She got dressed in the bathroom and went out to go buy food saying bye to Happy on the way. As soon as she was downstairs she was greeted by the ever cheerful bar-tender, Mira. "Good morning Lucy! How was your sleep?" "Great thanks Mira" Mira laughed and said "would you like breakfast?" Lucy tried to say no but her stomach said otherwise "Sit down, It's on me" Mira said kindly as she served someone else

"Oh I couldn't!" Lucy instantly felt bad, She had plenty of money she didn't need Mira paying for her. "Please, Think of it as our welcome gift". Lucy smiled, They had really only had one conversation and it was already like they were friends.

"OI MIRA, ANOTHER BARREL" a voice cut through, "Coming right up Cana!" Mira called. Lucy could only stare in shock, It was morning and this girl wanted a BARREL of alcohol. What's worse is she said 'another'. She just stared with her jaw getting wider every chug Cana took until somebody sat next to her and said "Cana! Your scaring the newbie"

He visibly sighed then shifted to a seat next to her "Sorry 'bout that, I'm Gray nice to meet you" Lucy fixed her jaw and responded "Nice to meet you to! I'm Lucy" "Well Lucy, This is Cana and she is a drunkard 24/7 you should get used to it soon." Gray then motioned for her to follow him and he took her to a group of people sitting down, "Everyone! This is Lucy, She is new" Lucy shyly waved "nice to meet you" Gray smiled and said "I will introduce you to everyone, This is Erza" then whispered "She is terrifying, don't mess with her seriously" "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY GRAY!" Erza turned into a demon before their very eyes. "N-n-nothing E-e-r-rza" Gray stuttered, Lucy giggled, It seemed like she would fit right in here.
