Hiya everyone! Welcome to the first chapter of my new story! I hope you enjoyed it from my other stories!

Lucy was casually sitting at the bar talking to Mira as she drank her cold strawberry milkshake. Mira was nagging at her about her love life as usual and by this point she was sleeping. That was, until Natsu decided to jump at her.

"Luce!" He shouted scaring her awake.

"Ahh! Natsu!? Don't do that!" Lucy scolded lightly.

"My bad." Natsu said smiling a goofy grin.

"Anyway, what do you want?" Lucy asked.

"We got a job!" Happy said flying above her head.

"What job?" Lucy asked again.

"Just beating up 6 big major bad criminals!" Natsu said excited.

"Are the others coming?" Lucy asked. "No. Wendy is staying home today. Gray went on a job with Juvia and Erza went on a big S-Class mission." Happy said.

"So it's just us?" Lucy said.

"Yep! Don't worry, we'll beat them up real good!" Natsu said very encouraging.

"Are you sure it's gonna be okay?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"If anything happens, I'll protect you." Natsu said promising.

Mira smiled weirdly and giggled while Lucy just ignored her.

"Alright then! Let's go on a job!" Lucy said getting off her seat.

"Yay!" Happy cheered happily.

But little did they know, that one of the 3... would never return back to Fairy Tail again. (Make a guess on who. I dare ya)

As they fought against the 6 criminals, the job flyer made a mistake. Natsu, Happy and Lucy didn't know that they were dealing with 6 dark mages. There was also one very important detail that the client left out. A big important detail. One of the dark mages could make a copy of themselves.

Natsu fought him and 2 others as strong as he can as Lucy dealt with the other 3 mages. Unaware of that mage's power.

As Natsu finished the 3 mages, Lucy finished her opponents.

"We did it Natsu!" Lucy said.

"Told ya we could!" Natsu replied.

The dark mage's copy then rose from behind Natsu. Lucy saw this and pushed Natsu aside. The copy sliced Lucy's torso and she fell down. Natsu stared wide-eyed as he became angry.

"Now, only 2 of you will return to your guild." The copy said laughing.

Happy hid behind a pillar and watched as Natsu became very furious. "You'll pay for what you did to Luce! Fire Dragon... ROAR!" He yelled as the fire burned more fiercely than ever at the copy.

Burning it in deep ashes.

Happy and Natsu rushed to Lucy's side and tried to see if she was okay or even alive. Natsu picked her up as Happy shaked her legs desperately.

"Luce! Luce! Are you okay!?" Natsu shouted.

"Lucy! Lucy!" Happy shouted shaking her.

Lucy's eyes fluttered open. "Nat...su? Are... you... alright?" Lucy managed to say.

"Don't ask me that!? Tell me you're okay!?" Natsu shouted loudly.

Lucy's eyes were half open and her bleeding didn't stop. "No." She replied getting weaker.

Lucy raised her hand as it shaked and Natsu just grabbed it, stopping her. "Don't you dare move, ya hear!" Natsu yelled.

Lucy turned her head to Happy, ignoring the draagon slayers words. "Take... care of... him." She stuttered.

Lucy's voice became more ragged and a pool of blood had formed around the 3.

"Lucy! Lucy!" Happy shouted as tears fell.

"No! You can't leave! Not like how Lisanna almost left! You're not dying before my eyes! You'll survive, Luce! You're strong!" Natsu yelled as he begged.

"You'll... have to... go on... without... me." Lucy said running out of air to breathe.

"Don't say that! Didn't ya hear me, Luce!?" Natsu asked yelling.

Lucy's eyes begin to close and she said her last final words. "You were... always... my best... friend... Natsu. Always."

With that, Lucy's eyes closed and her bleeding finally stopped. Her hand slid from Natsu's and all was total silent.

Suddenly, her eyes popped wide open. She was sweating and she was breathing heavily.

Her blonde hair drenched in her sweat. In her brown eyes was fear and she was scared.

"That dream again." She said.

Well, ther ya have it. Chapter 1 of this story. I'm sorry if it's - as always - short. I'm just not good with beggining chapters. Also, I'm sorry for the character death right off the bat. But I promise it will get better as the story goes. Plus a little confusion. Sorry again. But I hope you'll read on as the story goes! Byee~
