"Hey Luce!" Shouted Natsu as he ran into the guild hall.
Lucy groaned "What do you want Natsu?" as Mira laughed.
"Can we do a job today?"
"Ugh, I'm tired though…"
"Please Luce…"
"No!"
"Pretty please!"
"No!
"Pretty please with a dragon on top?"
"No!"
Mira smirked while she leaned in and whispered, " You're two days late on rent and you still need 10,000 jewel," Lucy turned and looked at the she-devil in shock. " H-how did you know?!" Mira smiled darkly and giggled "I have my ways, anyways you should go on a job with Natsu only if you want to be able to pay the whole rent in one job."
Lucy blushed furiously " W-what?! N-no way! I-I'm not gonna d-do that!"
"Oh come on Lucy, I know you want too."
"Sh-shut up Mira!" To say the truth Lucy has a BIG crush on Natsu and has only told Mira and Levy about it, now she regrets telling Mira.
"Hey Luce? Do you have a fever or something? You're face is all red," Natsu asked, pretending that he didn't hear anything with his super ears.
"I-I'm fine… let's go on a job please."
"Are we going by ourselves?"
"W-what?! NO!"
"Fine, then who's coming?"
"Uh… how about Happy?"
"He's on a job with Wendy and Carla."
"How about Gray and Erza?"
"Erza went on a S-class job, and Juvia dragged Gray on a job with him. Also Levy went on a job with team Shadow Gear and I don't think anyone else will want to go with us."
'What?! What did I do to deserve this fate?!' Lucy cried in her mind. 'Why fate? Why? Please someone save me! Oh my gosh, what is something happens during the job and I have to confess my love to him?! Oh no what do I do!'
"Luce? Luce? Hello? Lucy? Helloooooo."
"Huh?" Lucy blinked, as she came into realization that she had been staring at the wall with a blank face. Her face immediately flushed as she realized that half of the guild was staring at her in confusion, some looking at the wall and trying to figure out what she had been staring at it.
She ran over to Natsu, grabbed him and a random job request, quickly told Mira that she was leaving on that job and ran out of the guild with Natsu, completely ignoring the strange look Mira gave her when she showed her the job.
When they finally got back to Lucy's place, Lucy collapsed on her bed panting, while Natsu went into her kitchen to raid her fridge. When Lucy finally caught her breath, she look at the job request that she still had in her hand. It was a little crinkled but Lucy could still read it. Her eyes widened as she read the words on the paper 'Why is all of this happening to me today?!' She sat up glumly as she read the request a few more times.
This is what the request said:
2 wizards (1 male and 1 female) needed to attract
customers to a new love seat attraction
at an amusement park.
Please contact Donna Kinio
At: XXX-XXX XXXXX in Hargeon
She groaned with her head in her hands. How was she going to tell Natsu what the job they were taking was about? "Hey Luce? What're we doing for the job?" Speak of the devil.
"Uh…"
"Are you okay Luce? You're face is red again, are you sure you aren't sick?"
'God what do I say? Hm… I'll just show him the paper, I just hope he will be too dense to understand…'
"Y-yeah I'm f-fine."
"Okaaaaaay, then what's the job about?"
"H-here you c-can read it…"
"Awwww come on Luce, you know I hate reading."
"Well to bad! You should do it more often."
"Hmph… fine."
"Okay here you go, start reading."
A little while later…
"Are you done yet?" groaned Lucy. It's been about 30 minutes since Natsu had started reading the job request.
"Huh? Oh yeah I finished it like 20 minutes ago I was just thinking about how much food I would be able to get with the reward money."
"What?!"
"What's wrong?"
Lucy wanted to scream at Natsu for wasting their time, but decided to count to ten and calm down. "Nothing's wrong, anyways we should head to the client now."
"Okay! Wait…"
"What?"
"What's a love seat?"
"Eh…" Oh no what do I say? " I-it's a b-boat for c-couples to s-sit in a-alone to do …uh… th-things." Lucy flushed red and looked away from Natsu.
When she didn't hear a reply, she looked back at Natsu expecting his face to be red. She looked at his face and realized that it was GREEN. She was confused at first but then realized that it was because of his motion sickness. She also realized that because of his motion sickness, she wouldn't be able to complete the job.
"Natsu? Do you still want to do the job?" She asked, silently hoped he would say no.
"Sure! I just remembered that Wendy gave me some pills for my motion sickness in case she wasn't with me!"
"Oh…" Lucy groaned inwardly.
"I'm gonna go home and get ready!"
"Uh… o-okay meet me at the train station at 5 o'clock"
"Okay bye!" Natsu jumped out the window.
Why do I like it when he acts like a wild animal? Wait… love seat… OMG! WHAT IF WE KISS! Lucy screeched in her mind
