Random Teams
chapter 1
Lucy was happily walking on the ledge of a canal as she got a new celestial key Cetus the sea monster. a whale like creature with webbed feet. He has a small form and a big form. who can be summoned with water and only on certain days on land and the best part is that he is actually nice unlike Aquarius. She will have to remind herself to call Aquarius and talk to her when it came to Cetus.
When she got to the guild everyone was waiting for an announcement. Just as she was about to ask Master and Mira came up and made their announcement.
"Everyone, may I have your attention please" Makarov said as everyone quieted down. "I decided to mix up the teams and two people in each team one male and one female. exceeds will be with their slayer and another person. you will stay as a team for 3 months. if you decided to remain a team is up to you. your new partner will be on the board so then everyone can see. you are all dismissed." Makarov said as he and Mira went down stairs and everyone groaned.
Lucy was both irritated and relieved because she could end up with a pervert but she would end up with all the reward without all the constant fighting from her normal team. with that she made her way to the board and only bothered to look at her name. her eyes widened in shock as her partner is Elfman Strauss. She didn't hate Elfman, he does unnerve her a little with his tall appearance and his consistent shouting man for no good reason. They even became friends as they were recovering during the magic games. Lucy decided to best talk to Mira while she waits for Elfman. With that Lucy went to the bar where Mira was.
"Hi Lucy, did you find out who your partner is?" Mira asked.
"Yeah and I got paired up with Elfman." Lucy said as Mira's eyes widened a little.
"In that case there are things you should know as Elfman would never admit it." Mira started out. "He can be very emotional at times. normally it is over things like beautiful views or crystal filled caves are positive emotions while our old town and the Lisanna incident bring about negative emotions. so what you need to do then is avoid conversations that include the bad portion of our past and to stop and let him enjoy what makes him emotional when you are not on a job. The other thing is that he loves to cook, he taught me how to cook and often makes us dinner and sometimes lunch. He even cooks better than me." Mira said as Lucy's jaw dropped.
She regained her composure and said "understood, I will take a camera lacrima to take pictures as well for Elfman." Lucy said.
The two ladies talked with each other until Elfman made is appearance at the bar. "Hey big sis, Lucy, how are you two doing." he asked as the ladies turned to look at him.
" We are doing just fine thank you Elfman" Mira said.
"Hey Elfman, Are you ok having me with you on missions for a while. I-I mean you are probably twice as powerful as me and…" Lucy couldn't Finnish as Elfman cut her off
"You are not weak Lucy, you are a very capable mage and you probably have the same amount of power as I do and more importantly you are a man. Elfman said.
"Do you know what he means by "man"?" Lucy asked Mira quietly
"No one knows what it means." Mira replied.
"Let's go on a mission tomorrow, you can stay at our place for the night." Elfman offered.
"Lucy turned to Mira who said "You won't be a bother Lucy, we have a guest bedroom." Mira said.
"Ok, I will get Virgo to get my things." Lucy said.
"I already picked up a mission that I think you will like." Elfman said as Lucy took a look at the mission
Help
a group of bandits has taken my daughter hostage and is demanding I hand over more money than I have. I don't have much but the reward will be a silver key I came across and 90,000 jewels I won in a contest. please help me.
"Sounds good to me, I already paid my rent so having extra money would be good for a change." Lucy said. "I'll call virgo and tell her to get my things." Virgo appeared and said in a monotone voice "Princess, I have everything packed and ready to go in the spirit world. Is it time for my punishment?" The last part made Elfman's jaw drop and Mira giggle.
"No punishment and thank you." Lucy said as the spirit vanished. "You have to excuse her she asks for punishment… a lot so please don't do that to her." Lucy said.
Later that day the Strauss siblings and Lucy went to the Strauss estate. It was a 2 story house that was in the woods overlooking a lake. overall it was a nice place. Lucy settled down and Elfman started cooking and Mira and Lisanna sat down with Lucy and chatted. When the food was ready, Lucy's jaw almost hit the floor. there was a widespread of lasagna, macaroni, Duck a l'orange and a Chocolate mouse cake with buttercream frosting."
"You have to be kidding me." Lucy said surprised.
"Wait till you try it." Lisanna said.
Just then Loke came out and said "My princess, I heard you were going on a mission with Elfman. if he tries anything on you without permission I will… Hey, something smells good." He said making Lucy and Lisanna sweat drop.
"Elfman made us dinner, you want some, we have enough to serve 8 people" Mira said.
"Sharing with friends is manly." Elfman said.
just then Loke disappeared and then reappeared with a fork and knife and a napkin in his shirt along with Plue, Scorpio, and Aquarius on their own power each with a fork and knife. "Mind if we join?" Aquarius asked.
"Sharing with a friend of a friend is Manly too." Elfman said.
"Sure." Mira said.
"I don't mind." Lucy said.
they all sat around the table
they each tried a bite of the lasagna, macaroni and the Duck a l'orange and it was some of the best food they have had even the spirits agreed it was better than both Virgo and the 5 star dinner (A five star diner is what it is and it's name)
"This man can cook." Lucy said.
"Dude, this is better than the best restaurant in the spirit world can make." Loke said as aquarius and scorpio were nodding and Elfman blushed
"I'm not that good." Elfman said sheepishly
"Nonsense, If the cake you made tastes half as good as it looks, we are in for a real treat" Aquarius said.
"We are/PUNN" Scorpio and plue said.
after dinner came the cake.
"I was wrong, It tastes twice as good as it looks" Aquarius said.
After eating Loke said "I am ok with him going with yours long as he cooks for us again, and maybe a helping for the spirit king as he will love it."
"You got it." Elfman said as the spirits left.
after a few more hours Everyone went to bed
