"Never any good jobs anymore, Happy. How's Lucy supposed to pay for her rent if we can't find a decent job?"
The blue cat floated behind his pink haired friend and sighed. "You don't always have to worry about Lucy, ya know. She always finds jobs by herself."
Natsu turned and narrowed his eyes at the cat.
"Seriously, Natsu. Just look for a job you want to do."
"I guess you're right, Happy. Lucy has been going on a lot of jobs by herself lately. Let's take this job!" Natus grabbed a random flyer off the board and looked at it. There was a picture of an animal shelter in Shirotsune. The job description stated that they were looking for someone to helo out at the shelter tomorrow. The reward was 1.000 Jewel for every hour the mage worked.
"Natsu, that job looks stupid," Happy snarked.
"Let's go anyway!"
"That looks like a job Lucy would take."
"What looks like a job I would take?"
Happy nabbed the flyer and flew over to Lucy. "This one."
Lucy looked at the job description. "That looks super cute!, Natsu, let's go!"
"But, Lucy, that reward isn't very good. If we split it, you won't have enough for your rent."
"I just got back from a job with Gray. The reward was 200,000 Jewel, so I got half of that. I've got plenty for my rent! Come on, Natsu! It'll be fun!"
Behind them, Juvia was playing out her reunion with Gray.
"Gray-sama! You were gone so long! Juvia missed you!"
Gray just rolled his eyes and went up to Mirajane.
"Hey Mira. Can I get some water?"
"Sure thing, Gray!"
Mira turned to grab a glass of water when it hit Natsu (and Juvia) that Gray and Lucy had gone on a job quest. Together. And alone.
Natsu made his way over to Gray and Juvia to Lucy.
"Yo, Gray! I gotta talk to you!"
"What is it now, Natsu?"
"What do you think you're doing, going on jobs with my partner?"
Gray sighed. "What are you talking about, Natsu?"
"Lucy. She's my partner. You can't just up and go on job quests with my partner!"
*meanwhile with Juvia and Lucy*
"Lucy!"
"Hey, Juvia. What's up?"
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Huh?"
"With Gray-sama! You're going on job quests with Juvia's Gray-sama alone! Juvia trusted you, Lucy!"
"Wait, Juvia, do you think-"
"Gray-sama! My Gray-sama! Oh, tell me you haven't tainted Juvia's Gray-sama!"
Lucy couldn't help but giggle. "Tainted? Juvia, Gray and I aren't-"
*sob sob*
"We're not doing anything, Juvia!"
*sob so-* "You're not"
"No!"
*back with Gray and Natsu*
"Yo, Natsu, nothin's goin on. It was just a job."
"I'm really fired up, Gray. Let's fight!"
"Natsu, just-"
Natsu punched Gray and Gray stood and they began to fight. Somewhere in the brawl, Gray-obviously-lost his clothes.
*meanwhile with Juvia and Lucy*
"Oh! Juvia was so worried! I thought you were gonna be my LOVE RIVAL."
"Juvia, we're friends. I know you like Gray. I'd never do anything to hurt you."
The girls turned to see the boys fighting and Juvia's eyes went wide. "Gray-sama, your clothes!"
"Hey, Natsu!" Lucy yelled. "Gray! Calm down, would ya?"
The boys didn't seem to hear her and continued throwing punching.
"Natsu! Gray!" Happy tried his best to break the two up. "Erza's coming!"
Everything seemed to stop. It was as if earth land has just stopped moving. Then, suddenly, everything moved at super speed. Gray put his clothes back on, Natsu tried his best to calm himself down, Juvia and Lucy smiled and waited patiently for Erza's arrival while everyone else ran around like mad men. By the time Erza arrived. everything seemed… too perfect.
The front doors of the guild busted open and Erza appeared with her face shadowed underneath her hair. "Mira!"
Mirajane popped up from behind her counter and produced a strawberry cheesecake. "For you, Erza!"
Erza stalked up to the counter, passing Gray and Natsu, who were smiling rather awkwardly, hoping to go undetected by the flaming haired S-class mage.
