A/N: Hey there everyone. This is my first attempt at fan fiction so I'd appreciate it if you could review and give me advice or pointers to help with my writing style. Thank you so much and I hope you enjoy the story! \(^.^)/

Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail, Hiro Mashima does.

Lucy was sitting at the bar sipping a strawberry milkshake ordered from Mira when she heard Natsu's voice calling out to her over the noise of the guild.

"Oi Lucy! I found a weird mission!"

She sighed. Today she wanted nothing more than to relax at the guild after Team Natsu's last mission-where yet again she somehow ended up ruining her brand new outfit–and have a stress free day catching up with Levy and discussing their latest favourite book.

"Natsu I've already told you! I'm sorted with my rent this month and we just finished our last mission yesterday! I'm too tired to do another right now!"

"But Luce," Natsu whined from the request board. "We don't even have to go anywhere. It says that we can do it right here and then tell him what happens!"

That caught Lucy's attention. She looked at Mira, who had been watching the exchange, in horror. The last time Natsu had taken a mission which could be completed inside the guild he had caused most of the members to swap bodies and she did not want a repeat of that. Mira was about to say something when Natsu shouted over again.

"Watch Lucy! I'll do it right now!"

"No Natsu! DON'T DO ANYTHING!" Shouted Lucy as she jumped out of her chair and started running towards Natsu, her outburst causing some guild members to look up in confusion at the normally calm and composed blonde as she launched herself at her partner.

"Elbarenluv dna kaew deredner eb llahs lleps siht sdaer revemohw-" He was cut off as Lucy threw her hand over his mouth in an attempt to stop him from completing the spell. His triumphant smirk under her hand told Lucy that he had, in fact, finished saying the spell and they both stood there for a moment as they waited for it to take effect, one in anticipation and the other in dread.

Lucy took cautiously took her hand away from his mouth when nothing immediately happened. A relieved smile slipped from her mouth as she looked around the guildhall and found nothing out of place.

"Phew! Nothing's happening so the spell mustn't have worked." Turning to Natsu she tugged sharply on his ear. "And you! You should know better than to read random spells after what happened last time!"

Clutching the hand which was gripping his ear, Natsu replied "But nothing happened though so everything's fine, right?"

"No, not 'right'! You didn't know what that spell could have done to us! You didn't even know what language it was in! This is exactly what happens on every single mission we go on! You get too curious or too bored and either wander off or cause trouble for the rest of us. You even do it when I bring you shopping with me!" Lucy let go of Natsu's ear as she complained about his behaviour and completely missed him falling to the floor, too caught up in her rant to notice. "I understand that shopping isn't your first choice of activity but how did you get so bored that you burn down the entire store and half of the shop next to it? I've been banned from their shops for life now! My favourite store and I can't even go in it anymore and-"

She cut off her ramblings when she saw Natsu's prone figure on the floor.

"Hey Natsu!" she called in alarm "What's wro-" Suddenly feeling dizzy, she left her question unfinished as she too dropped to the floor unconscious.

A/N: So that's the first chapter/prequel done! I know it's not very long but the next chapter will be longer I promise. I have rated this story T because I'm paranoid and I may or may not add in some stuff later on (nowhere near anything that needs to be M rated though). I'll also try and update every week but if I don't I'll definitely update within 2 weeks instead. Again, thanks for reading!
