"Natsu, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING EATING MY PANCAKES!" Lucy screeched, as she performed one of her trademark Lucy kicks upon Natsu's head. Lucy had only left her breakfast on the table for a moment, when a certain blue flying cat (not naming any names) had stolen her celestial keys.

The cat had done a full circle around the apartment building in which Lucy resided, before joining Natsu, who was in the process of devouring Lucy's breakfast.

Natsu had, unfortunately, devoured all but one pancake, so there was an argument between Natsu and his annoying cat.

This was when Lucy had interrupted.

Her kick managed to propel the pancake up,up into the air, then down into Happy's swallowed, not realizing that Lucy's keys were still inside his mouth.

"Happy, you greedy little-"

"Yeah happy, that was MY pancake." Natsu protested

Lucy turned to Natsu. "Where are my keys?"

Happy looked nervous. "Umm...Lucy? Please don't scream, but I may... accidentally... Swallowed your keys?"

Lucy grabbed Happy and started to shake him up and down.

"Then poo them out already! I really need those keys! Maybe Virgo can whip me up some breakfast, since you two ate mine."

"Luuuuuuuucy! You're really mean!" Happy complained, and Lucy stopped, mostly because Natsu was rifling though her cupboards.

"Jeez, Lucy, don't you ever eat?"

"Not when you two are around!and get down from there, Natsu! You already ate all my food. So you are going with me down to the markets, and you are paying for my breakfast! Now!"

"But we don't have any food money! That's why we came to you!" Natsu explained.

Lucy snorted. "Tough! And maybe down there we can get some laxatives for Happy!"

Happy turned to the dragon slayer. "Natsu, what's a laxative?"

Natsu told him.

Happy turned pale blue.

Lucy, Natsu and Happy had arrived at the edge of the market. "Funny," said Lucy. "I've never seen guards here before."

Natsu and Happy squirmed.

"Well that may be... Because... Last week, Gray..." Natsu trailed off.

"It wasn't our fault, Lucy!" Happy whimpered.

"Well, that would explain why half the markets are smoking, and the other half are freezing."

"We were also banned from entering the markets till hell freezes over. Gray's still working on it. Daemons are really hard to freeze."

A disguise, a disguise. Where would she find a disguise... Lucy's eyes wandered over to the Ladies' Boutique.

" I hope you like cross dressing," Lucy said, with an evil smile.

Happy gulped.
