If you're interested go look for them, but check ratings, none of them are connected and two are one shots.
Lucy sulked miserably playing with her strawberry milkshake.
"Come on Lucy you can still go on a job! Just because Natsu is busy fishing with Happy doesn't mean you have to wait and sulk" Mira reprimands, Lucy just shakes her head.
"But Natsu's my best friend, we always go on missions together, ever since I joined Fairy Tail! And Levy is gone with her team and Gajeel I think, Erza to is somewhere I don't really have anyone to do a job with" she says.
"What am I, invisible?" Gray suddenly asks next to her, Lucy jumps.
"Gray I thought you were away with Juvia"
"Nope" he says simply, Lucy looks behind him to Juvia sitting at a bench surprisingly not even looking at him, she was very happily reading a letter.
"What's with her?" she asks.
"Lyon wrote her a letter, she's happy and hasn't bothered me in days, anyway I'll go with you, your rents due soon too huh?"
"Oh god!" she remembers Gray rolls his eyes how could the girl keep forgetting? Mira smiles pulling out the job request book.
"Actually I think I have the perfect job, I got the request a few days ago for two mages, and one has to be female according to the request, the job will be described in detail there but it says simply to catch thieves, the reward will be 300,000j"
"That's a lot for thieves" Gray says suspicious.
"They said what they were taking was very valuable and they wished everything they had stolen returned"
"We can do that right Gray?"
"I don't see why not, let's go" he says Lucy signs the request and they head out Lucy suddenly feeling really happy, Juvia isn't even concerned with them leaving together and Mira was rubbing her hands together excitedly at the prospect of the two leaving somehow getting together.
They meet at the train station later with their bags, neither bringing much, Gray surprisingly fully clothed.
"So where is the job?"
"It's in the port city of Rosary"
"Wow I haven't been there"
"Me neither, it's a bit of a journey but we'll get there tomorrow"
"Okay let's get on the train"
Lucy was glad they got a space to themselves, and was even gladder of the chance to spread out, using her bag as a back rest she put her legs on the seat, Gray sat next to the window on the other seat.
"I'm glad we don't have to look after the idiot" he says after the train leaves.
"Natsu? Yeah not having to worry about his motion sickness is a relief"
"Pathetic" he says shaking his head Lucy laughs.
"Thanks for coming Gray, I really do need the rent"
"I know" he says with a smirk.
"Its fine" he looks back out the window and they get comfortable for the trip, Lucy pulls out a book and starts reading, the movement of the train and the quietness eventually rock her to sleep.
Tell me what you think!
