Lucy POV~

The sun shone down merrily on Magnolia as i walked up to Fairy tail, plue dancing alongside me. Lizanna had been recovered from Edolus a few weeks ago and the guild partied every day, it wan't too much of a shock when i entered the guild. even more tables had been broken and scorched, beams smashed and walls cracking. i looked around, Natsu was upside-down in the corner of the room, asleep, and Grey the other. 'ugh they fought again!' i rolled my eyes and strode over to the board where i looked at the missions. since Lizanna was back, natsu wanted to spend more time with her. i was cool with that but it meant i couldn't go on any jobs because all the higher-paid jobs needed higher skilled wizards. recentley the need for money had crept in and i had to either get a part-time job or brave a mission on my own. i spied a mission which was taking out a robber, the pay wasn't the best but i took it anyway. Since Mirajane was absent from the bar i left a note.

Guild, i left on a mission on my own, i need the money.
please tell Mirajane to sign off the request numbered xxxx. i will be back in a few days,
~Lucy~

taping the note onto the Request board and scribbling the date on it, i strode out of the guild, cluching my keys around my waist for comfort...

Timeskip, 3 days.
Natsu Pov~
i yawned and rubbed my eyes, "Oi! Lizanna! want to go on a job with my team?" i called to my childhood freind.
"shure!" she smiled then she paused "who is in your team?" she asked, confusion washing over her face as we crashed over to the request board.
"well, Me, Happy, Erza, Grey and Lucy," i said as i flicked through the papers on the board. as i lifted one of the requests the scent of strawberries tickled my nose. i peered closer, ignoing lizanna's blabbring about how she has been missing for 3 years blah blah blah ... i froze as i saw a little peice of paper, with pink swirly writing on. i read it slowly... 'i need the money' that quote floated through my mind, i frowned and looked at the signature. i gripped the paper and lizanna stopped speaking. "natsu?" she asked tentitivley. i sighed and walked over to Mirajane and slammed the paper on the bar. "natsu!" Mirajne yelled as splinters flew in the air from the bar. "come on" i turned to lizanna and tore a request off the board. "are you... okay?" Lizanna asked, slowly. i turned around and threw her a goofy grin.
"yea! don't worry !" i smiled, ' why didn't lucy ask us to go with her? what did we do? ' i thought slowly.

Timeskip, 2 days
Natsu Pov~
my stomach growled loudly as me, happy and Lizanna trailed back into Magnolia. "hey! we can eat when we get to Fairy Tail!" lizanna laughed as i pointed to a Café hopefully. the streets were oddly busy today and we had to slip in amongst it so we could get back to Fairy Tail. i caught the smell of strawberries and turned around, a cloaked figure was at the side of the path, trying to get through. i started to walk to the person but they vanished, i frowned and Lizanna called for me "Sorry!" i yelled over the crowd as i ran through to the guild doors.

Grey Pov~
i sighed and stood up from my table. i walked over to mira "hey, Do you know when Natsu gets bac-" i got cut off by the guild doors being kicked open
"HEY! WE ARE BACK!" natsu yelled, his fangs showing in the biggest grin ever. people mumbled their hello's and without looking someone said, just about to drink.
"Hey Natsu, Lucy"
"uh, i'm Lisanna" Lisanna said slowly, the guy looked up sharply and spat out his booze.
"Ugh! Sorry! i forgot you guys went on a mission! Natsu usually goes with Lucy"
"Shut up, she's gone on her own job" i heard natsu mutter as he sat at the bar. i turned around to face Natsu.
"what?! since when?!" i yelled at him. ' that's not like lucy! '
"5 Days ago" mira sighed, wiping some glasses. something in the back of my mind made me turn, and shure enough there was a figure at the guild doors. they looked up and met my eyes "Grey" the figure said softly, no, Pain-filled! i froze as the figure tugged on their hood slightly. revealing a-

haha ! cliff-hanger ! hope you like ! who is this mystery figure and how do they know Grey?!

Dun dun DUNN! don't worry, i'll try not to leave this too long :)
