CHAPTER 1

Late March, if she thought about it. Of course, quests always messed up Lucy's sense of time.

And then there's was all her guild members. All her life, Lucy had never met-no, imagined that she would meet people that were so…bizarre! But, despite their out-of-the-ordinary personalities, they were the most amazing friends Lucy ever had.

Her friends were who the blonde was walking off to meet. Natsu, Gray, Erza, Wendy, Levy, and all the others in that guild. Lucy Heartfilla skipped happily on the ledge of the river as a man from a boat warned her to be careful. She waved and told him that she'd be fine. Finally, a big building with the signature mark of fairy tail loomed into sight. Lucy sighed with relief at the peacefulness of it all.

Until she heard a cry of indignation and a battered Gray flew into her, full speed. Lucy squealed in surprise as the bundle landed with a oomph. "Oi, gray, watch it!" Lucy scolded him as she stood and brushed herself off. Gray ignored her. "Why, Natsu's gonna get it now," he snarled before stamping back into the guild. Lucy shook her head. As usually, Gray was in a battle with Natsu. It wouldn't be long until Erza whipped them into shape. As if on cue, two boyish cries rang out and the sound of a woman barking at them loudly.

Lucy walked though the doors of the guild.

Inside, the dark haired boy that had smashed into Lucy earlier and a pink (no, more salmon) haired boy Lucy knew well as Natsu were being dragged off by a enraged erza. "As always, they're causing trouble," The girl clicked her tongue.

A petite female with blue hair approached her. Lucy smiled at her.

"Morning Levy! Are they ready to go?" Lucy asked, gesturing to what looked like Natsu and Gray having to sit in the corner. It was a funny scene, even with Erza watching over them with an evil glint in her eyes. Levy nodded. "Yea, they are. They started fighting over if to bring a sweater or not," Levy replied with a look of defeat. Lucy rolled her eyes.

She couldn't believe that they were fighting over something as stupid as that! Oh wait, this was Gray and Natsu. Yes, she could believe it.

Lucy turned her gaze to her friend beside her who was lightly twisting a foot into the wooden floorboards. "Levy," she called. Levy turned her head. "Sorry, Lu-chan, what was that?" Lucy hid a smirk. "Levy, it's up to him if he wants to come."

Some of the members of the guild were going to beach for a little trip, It was a choice, people going would have to pay, and knowing that Mirajane set it up made people partly suspicious, seeing Mirajane as being a very big match maker. For Lucy, this was a great idea to go on a vacation, and some of the girls agreed. Seeing as a few the girls were going, some of the boys grumbled about it boring without the females and signed up as well.

The people going were Lucy, Gray, Natsu, Erza, Wendy, Levy, Juvia (who only signed up because a certain iceboy did as well), and Mirajane herself. Her siblings; Elfman and Lisanna, were off on a quest, and would miss the trip, much to many of the members disappointment. The only person who hadnt decided to stay or go was Gajeel.

Even if Levy said nothing, it was clear that the iron dragon's choice was bothering her. She had been spaced out since the trip was introduced. And that's how she was now, until Lucy nudged her. "Hey, Levy-chan, I think he'll come." Levy looked up in surprise. "W-who?" She stuttered with a flushed face. The blonde-haired girl laughed. "You're worried about Gajeel, I can sense it. C'mon, he has today." Levy shook out her head and nodded. "Yea, what-ever, I don't care." She covered quickly, hiding her pink cheeks. Lucy laughed. She watched Gajeel, who was munching on a iron plate. maybe I should talk to him… she wondered.

Suddenly a loud "Luushhhheeeee!" Sounded from across the room and broke Lucy's thoughts. Apparently, Gray and Natsu's time out was finished. Natsu stopped in front of her, scarf still trailing behind him. "Hello Natsu." Lucy sighed. She knew what he was going to say next. "Luce, how could you? I couldn't get in at all!" The teen whined immaturely. Happy, Natsu's best friend, floated over and nodded. Levy turned to her friend with a look of confusion. It was well known through the guild that Natsu constantly entered Lucy's house like it was his own. The celestial Mage started to explain. "I locked all the windows and stuck on an extra bol-"

she trailed off and watched a emotionless Gajeel stand, walk to the sign up sheet and scribble his name down. Lucy let out a breath she didn't know that she had been holding. "Well, that settles things," She smiled in triumph as the other three gave her a strange look. "Natsuuu~ Lucy's saying something weird!" Happy complained to Natsu, who only nodded in understanding.

Levy looked at the ground. Lucy leaned over the small girl and whispered, "he just signed up." To which Levy's face brightened, confusing the fire Mage and blue cat even further. "Hey!" Natsu pouted. "What's going on? Tell us!" "Aye!" Happy agreed and pulled the same face.

Lucy and Levy looked at eachother and giggled. "Boys," Lucy snickered and walked off. Levy followed her with a mischievous grin, leaving Natsu and Happy to stare in wonder. "Girls are weird," Natsu told Happy with a deadpan face. "Aye…" Happy agreed dumbly.

Meanwhile, Lucy was getting herself lunch at the bar, listening to Mirajane happily making conversation, gushing about the upcoming trip. "It'll be so sweet!" She smiled then winked at Lucy. "I even heard that there's going to be a ball," she purred. Lucy slowed her chewing. "What does that have to do with anything?" She asked in surprise.

Mirajane gave her an innocent grin. "Oh nothing, just that I signed everyone up for it," She said in a sugar-sweet voice.

The celestial mage choked on her mouthful. "You-you what?!" Lucy gasped. Mirajane only smiled again. "Maybe Natsu will ask you!" She suggested.

Lucy buried her head. "Natsu doesn't dance, and he doesn't do romance. And why would I dance with him?" Lucy snapped. Mirajane sighed and turned away from Lucy. "I guess so," she decided, though inwardly, she wasn't finished with the subject.

"Anyway," Lucy continued. "I should head back and start packing for tomorrow."

Mirajane nodded. "Alright Lucy, I'll see you tomorrow, bright and early!"

First chapter done! Yay!

…That was a really short chapter. I might combine chapters 1 and 2 cause their both so short.

Ugh, I hate that ending. Endings are my weak spot. I'm kinda regretting the whole mira-match-maker thing but eh…
