2 Years Ago
Lucy's POV
"Mira-san! Can I please take this job, ALONE."
I held up a job request sheet that had the words-
FIND RARE ANIMAL-FEMALE BLONDE MAGES ONLY
DETAILS GIVIN AFTER JOB ACCEPTED
FIORE CASTLE, BACK GARDEN
40,000 JEWELS
"Yara yara your team has been destroying buildings, towns, and cities again aren't they." Mira-san stated while shaking her head.
I groaned and pulled my hair, "Again? Hah! More like EVERY TIME." I slumped in my seat and banged my head on the counter, "MY RENT MONEY LOST, ALL BECAUSE OF THOSE THREE DEMONS!" I screamed then sobbed
The guild doors suddenly banged with two annoying monsters coming in, namely, Natsu and Gray. As usual, they were at each other's throats yelling insults at each.
"HEY ICE-FREAK! WHADDYA SAY!? YOU STRONGER THAN ME!?"
Gray smirked at Natsu, "Yep, you heard me, I mean; I destroyed more of the dark guild members than you Flame-Brain!"
"HAH! THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE ERZA THE DEMON, IF YOU HADN'T NOTICED, TOLD ME TO PROTECT THE DAUGHTER FROM THAT RICH FAMILY!"
Gray rolled his eyes, "Ha, only because YOU were going to destroy the mansion! AND the forest! SO SHE HAD TO GIVE YOU THAT JOB!"
Apparently that was the last straw for the Fire Dragon Slayer because then he punched the raven haired ice mage in the face.
"Heh, beginning already." Gray grinned and then they began to fight, fist to stomach, punch to the face, then, the real demon, Erza stormed in looking furious and she immediately broke the two up with a punch to the face each.
I gestured all of this to the barmaid, "You see why solo is good after a while?"
Mira-san sighed, "Alright fine, but watch yourself, K?"
"Oh! And don't tell my team where I went just yet please Mira-san? I'll write them a note."
She frowned, but then agreed. I smiled and hurried home before any of my team members could notice me, then frowned wondering if I should tell Wendy, then realizing that she had gone on a mission with Charle I quickly hurried home to get packed.
I also remembered to write a note to my team and friends just in case they got worried, of course, I wasn't too worried about them not seeing my note since they often came, or should I say broke into my house. Just in case though, I locked all my windows and doors.
Grinning I left to the train station to go to Fiore's castle.
Natsu's POV
"Hey, where's Lucy?" I asked Mira while eating my food, "Wasn't she here like five minutes ago?"
"Oh, right she said she had to go do something." The barmaid then turned back to her conversation with Lisanna.
Hmm, I thought while finishing the last of my food and swallowed it. I called out to Happy, "Come on, we're going over to Lucy's. "
Erza who was sitting very close to me eating a piece of shortcake immediately put her hands really tight on my shoulder before I could even stand up, "Hey! What's that for Erza?!" I complained.
"You are not going to barge into a lady's house."
I frowned, "Why not Erza? I do it all the time and Luce doesn't seem to mind!" I whined.
Gray coming to sit next to me rolled his eyes at me, "Yeah, probably because she's too nice to tell you!"
After about five seconds I burst into laughter, I slapped his back, "Good one Gray."
Then I walked off with Happy floating beside me and thought about what Erza and Gray had said, there was no way Lucy didn't like me at her house. Then I shook my head free of those thoughts.
Erza's POV
I sighed and looked at Gray and we both shook our heads and got up to hurry to Lucy's house.
When we arrived at her house we quickly went down the chimney after we tried the doors and windows. Inside we saw Natsu holding a sheet of paper so I assumed that that was the note that Lucy had written.
Note-
To Natsu, Gray, Erza, and Happy
Guys, don't be worried about me, I'm just on a mission in Fiore Castle
By the way, DO NOT COME AFTER ME! THAT MEANS YOU NATSU!
Lucy
I clenched the paper in my hand until it almost crumpled, "You two! Go pack your bags! We're going back to Fiore! Also, meet me at the train station!" I commanded the two frightened boys.
I marched out of Lucy's house to get my luggage.
Gray's POV
Natsu and I froze while Erza barked commands at us, after she had told us to meet her at the train station AND stormed out, Natsu had turned into a ghost, he was pale and sweating while he slowly turned his head towards me, "Tr-ai-ain st-a-a-tion?"
Happy flew towards him with a fish in his mouth, "Aye!"
I smirked and just told him, "Hey, you've done this hundreds of time before, what's one more?"
Then I went over to the window, unlocked it, and jumped out.
