Chapter 1: Bad Day

It was a very fine day and Lucy Heartfilia just entered the guild. Everyone was in a ruckus fighting each other, throwing cups and breaking plates everywhere. Mirajane just stood over the counter smiling. Erza was still in the middle of striking the pillar down believing it's her rival while Elfman challenged every man to a one-on-one fight.

Although the day is fine, Lucy's mood is not that fine.

"You fire headed jerk!"

"Why you ice nudist!"

Natsu and Gray were at their brotherly fight again as their heads touched. They punched each other and Gray was thrown over Lucy. His butt hurt and realized he was sitting on Lucy's back. She stood up and put on her evil glare at Gray.

"You've got a problem?" Lucy was still glaring at Gray angrily.

Natsu laughed "Good for you exhibitionist."

Lucy turned to Natsu and also glared at him. "Shut up."

The both of them suddenly felt chills running up their spines and their hairs standing on its ends. They both embraced each other while Lucy gritted her teeth.

"It seems like she's in a bad mood."

Gray and Happy agreed with Natsu.

"Ne Lucy. Do you want some fish? " Happy put on his puppy dog eyes and offered her a fish. Lucy stared at him and her brows met each other. "Shut up kitty."

Happy wept in the corner. "Ne Lucy is mean!"

"As expected." The two nodded while they crossed their arms together.

Gajeel just entered the guild holding his guitar. The fire mage looked at him and laughed.

"What's with that tacky get up moron?" he burst into laughter while the annoyed Gajeel clenched his fist.

"Why you bastard! Let's fight!"

"Come on you shooby doo bop asshole!"

"Pathetic fire spitting lizard!"

Gajeel and Natsu were about to attacked each other when Lucy went in the middle with her eyes glaring both of them. They shrank back and were scared at sight of Lucy's face turning into a demon. "SHUT UP! YOU'RE BOTH LIZARDS!" she said as she walked away stomping her foot.

"What's her problem?" Gajeel asked.

"Lucy hates me." Happy was still at the corner crying.

She sat down at the counter and Mira approached her.

"Something's bothering you Lu?" she asked as she offered her a lemon juice.

Lucy sighed and slumped. "It's complicated Mira, I don't know what to do anymore!" she whined while scratching and messing her hair. The white haired mage just smiled. She knows why.

"Is it Loki again?"

"Well..yeah..you can tell that it was him. B-but I really don't know what to do anymore!"

"What did he do this time? " Mira's eyes sparkled.

Lucy stared at her eyes and let out a fake laugh. "You're mistaken, i-it's not what you think—"

"Come on tell me!" she said willingly.

"It's just that…it sucks but his pride is irritating me! I can't handle it anymore! Every time I try to summon him he's on a date! He doesn't show up whenever I need him, It's true he showed up last time during Bixlow but that was just the time that I was about to be killed! It's ironic! He shows up by himself during times that I don't really need help! Now why is that Mira! Geez!"

"Well you can talk to him about it."

"That's another problem! I can't get him into a serious conversation! Every time I talk to him he uses those pick up lines over and over again. He's not even listening to me!"

"Well—you see Lu, Loki's really that kind. What more can you expect to a Ladies' man?"

"Geez" she sighed again as she sipped the lemon juice.

Erza sat down by her side and put her hand on her shoulder. "That bastard is going to die." Her eyes turned murderous.

'Thanks Erza." Lucy was now scared and thought Erza was really a devil.

Gray joined them and looked at Lucy. The three girls freaked out. "Don't strip you moron!"

"Geez, you guys should be used to me already!"

"Used to you—you say." Lucy said and her head dropped. Erza bade goodbye and told them she's picking up Master Makarov from the meeting. Mira jane went back to work while Lucy can't help it but to let few more sighs and drank straight the lemon juice.

"I should be going home now. Thanks Mira-chan for the drink!" Lucy stood up and walked away. She was outside the guild and continued on walking when she heard Gray calling her.

"Wait! Lu—" he stopped when Lucy looked at him. Here we go again, her murderous eyes! "Tch!"

"uhmm, would you like if I walk with you back?" he said while scratching his head.

"Where's your pants?"

"SHIT!" he looked down and realized he's wearing only his boxers.

(back at the guild)

"Ar-re? Where's that droopy eyes?"

Natsu asked. Gajeel was just in time to throw a chair at his face when he saw him that he let his guard down. He laughed at Natsu. "Get up you moron!"

Happy was still depressed "I'm a very sad cat! I pity myself!"

Natsu asked Mirajane where Gray and Lucy are.

"Give them space Natsu." She smiled while cleaning the plates.

"It's really weird. I've never seen those two together." He said scratching his forehead.

Happy giggled. "Oh I see." And his eyes began to sparkle. "What a fate Lucy has! They soooo like her!"

It's really weird to see Gray and Lucy walk together. They happen to walk with Erza, Natsu and Happy all the time but this time it's just only the two of them.

"What are you still doing here?" Lucy stared at Gray. They already reached her apartment.

"You're mean." He said.

"Well you've walked me home already. Thank you."

She turned to look at Gray who was now inside sitting on her sofa. "W-what? Bastardd!"

"Seriously you should at least know the meaning of privacy!"

"The door is open so I walked right in." he said as he stirred his tea.

"And when did you make a tea?" Lucy angrily asked. "That's no excuse to enter my apartment!"

"Geez Lucy, cool down."

Lucy is now tired shouting at Gray and sat with him on the sofa. She leaned on her elbow and closed her eyes for about a minute. "Ugh, I can't really control you guys."

Gray smirked. "Get used to it."

There was a moment of silence and he started a fresh topic. "So…What's your problem?"

Lucy didn't answer. He placed the cup on the table and smiled. "It's fine if you don't wanna talk about it. I just don't want you to stress yourself about Loki."

Lucy blushed and looked at him. "Well, that's friendly of you."

"So, thanks for the time! I will now head back to the guild. " he put on his shirt as he walked towards the door. Before he went out, he turned back to Lucy. "I'm always here Lu. Just take a rest."

"Thanks Gray." Lucy suddenly felt happy. It's like his words lessened her problems with Loki.

The door was now closed and she just stared at Gray's cup. "So nice of him." She thought.

"It's nice in here!" Natsu exclaimed as he lied down on her bed. She was in shock. Happy is there too. "What're you doing here both of you!" Her eyes almost fell out their sockets.

"Lucy you're mean!" Happy scolded.

"What're you talking about neko!"

"After hurting me. You should say sorry."

"Yeah Yeah Lu, Happy even offered you a fish." Natsu said.

"GET OUT!"

"That's unfair! You let Gray come inside!"

"I didn't let him in!"

The two whispered. "She's really mean." "Yeah. Maybe she had a bad digestion."

"I can hear you two." Lucy's brows met each other as she looked down at them. They both shrank.

Happy held back his laughter and place his hand over his mouth. "She likes him!"

"Stop rolling your tongue you annoying neko!", she blushed in anger.

"Aye sir!"

After the two left her apartment, Lucy decided to take a bath. She summoned Plue out.

"Pu-Punn!"

"Yes Plue." She looked at Plue sadly. "Loki's really mean."

"Punn!" Plue touched her hand.

"Oh you're so cute!" she exclaimed and pressed Plue to her chest.
