Summary: Cana make a fortune telling. The card did not show a good fortune as one if it shows a death angle card and it worries her. A certain conflict arises and somehow it matches with what the card showed. Will someone died or what does the card really mean?
Warning: Lot's of mistakes.

A day at Fairy Tail guild starts peacefully as the only ones who currently at the guild are Mira, Lisanna, Cana and Levy. Mira wiping the glasses, Lisanna sweeping the floor, Levy reading her new book and Cana surprisingly not drinking any beer but sitting on the chair, staring at her cards.
"Mira-nee, I've done sweeping the floor!" Said Lisanna happily
"Good job Lisanna!"
Lisanna sit on the stool near the bar. She plays with her fingers before saying, "Mira-nee, I kind of forcing Natsu to go on a mission with me today. Just a simple mission cleaning some old lady's backyard near the village here." Said Lisanna.
"Did Natsu agree to go with you? I don't mind if you wanted to go but…" Mira seems hesitant to continue.
"Is it about Lucy?" Lisanna concluded. Natsu agreed but half-heartened. After all I told him that we should go with just the two of us.
"But Lisanna I don't remember there is a mission as you mention. Are you plotting something?!" Mira raise her eyebrow demanding the truth.
"I give up." Lisanna put her hands up and continue. "It's not like I wanted to separate Natsu from Lucy or his team. I just want to spend some time with him, recalling our memories together and have some serious talk with him. You know that it is hard to actually keep my feeling without having a straight answer. If my feeling did not reciprocate with him, I will totally give up. I just need a straight answer.
Mira's face softens. She holds her sister's shoulders encouraging her. "I understand. If that what you want I will support you. If Natsu plays with your feeling, I will teach him a lesson." Mira assures her.
Lisanna smiles and hugs her sister. "Thanks a lot Mira-nee!"
"Hei guys, come here for a second." Cana suddenly called.
All of them walk towards Cana with curiosity.
"What's up Cana?" Levy questioned.
"Since I woke up this morning, I have such a bad feeling. I do some fortune telling and see what the card said." Cana shows the card on the table.
There is tree card. One shows a crying goddess, second shows a devil and the third one is the death angle.
All of them stare at the card with worry plastered on their face. "How many times did you do this? Did you know whose fortune is this?" Lisanna asks
"As far as I concern, it has been 5 times since I enter the guild. This is first time I can't indicate whose fortune is this. It just happens… But I'm sure this is the truth and somehow related to our guild because when I do it at home, three cards shows up but the picture is blurred." Cana explained.
The three girls just look at each other nervously. 'Is it related to me? Maybe Natsu rejected me and devil comes to get me and I died?' Lisanna thought.
"Guys, let's be positive about this okay. Worrying won't solve the card's mystery. Just put this aside and keep it a secret. If the others know about this, it will cause panic. Don't you guys agreed?" Mira sorted out.
"Yep. I agreed." Levy nodded together with Cana and Lisanna.
"Just.. Be careful guys." Cana reminded
As the sun gets hotter, one by one Fairy Tail mages comes into the guild. The usual brawl started the time Natsu and his 'best friend' Gray enter the guild, followed by Gajeel and the others. They're enjoying themselves as Master and Erza is not in the guild for the moment.
Lucy's pov.
Seriously, this morning is not one of the best mornings in my life. I don't know how I fall down from my bed, causing my head hurts sooooo much! I search for an ice in the fridge but it has finished. Great! Now I miss Gray for barging into my house. At least he can produce some ice when I need it. Then, I went into the bathroom and almost slipped flat on the floor. Thank god I manage to hold on the pipe or I'm sure I will be hospitalized by now. And the worst part is, my rent is due tomorrow! I have to find Natsu and get some job! These few days he doesn't want to go on a mission because of his mood but he promised me to go today. No matter what his excuses, I will drag him!
As I walk through the busy road to the guild, thinking possible way to drag Natsu, my back feels chill as if something or someone is following me. I turn my back but there is nothing suspicious. I just shrugged those feeling and continue walking. On my way, I see a crowd surrounding a town's notice board. I wonder what news can get everyone attention. Due to curiosity, I join the crowd and see..
'List of girl who disappeared in 3 days. Woman should be really caution of any suspicious people.'
I read through the notice and I realize that there are more than 10 woman has been kidnapped in just 3 days. It is scary; I have to tell my friends about this. A few moments later, I reach the guild. The sound of people fighting could be heard not far from the guild's door I sighed. How can I go through them without getting hurt? I sighed again.
I walk into the guild, carefully while ducking and avoiding any cups and plates flying in the air. After a moment of critical situation, I manage to get through the way without getting hurt. Yeay! Victory for me! I fasten my pace and sits beside Levy.
Normal pov
"Hello Levy!" Lucy greeted.
"Hai Lu-chan! Eh, wait a minute. What's wrong with your forehead? It bruised." Levy said, loud enough until the Natsu and Gray heard them.
Gray and Natsu stop fighting as well as the others. All of them turn their attention to Lucy. "What's wrong with you Lucy?" Gray asks, worried plastered on his face.
Lucy blushes with the sudden attention. "Ahhh.. It's nothing. I just knocked on the floor in my sleep I guess." Lucy said while scratching her neck in embarrassment.
"Ahh.. Ooohh…" Other guild member mumbles.
Gray goes to the bar asking for small clean cloth, then comes and sits beside Lucy. He makes some ice and put it inside the cloth. "Put this on your forehead. It will help reduce the bruise."
Natsu did not manage to utter a single word. He is too annoyed by Gray who is too nice to Lucy. He wanted to punch him on the face but decided to just hold it for a moment. He knows Gray thinks Lucy as her little sister but his perception might change anytime. Natsu wanted to go greet Lucy but Lisanna caught his shirt.
"Where do you think you're going Natsu?" Lisanna asks
"I'm going to greet Lucy. Why?" Natsu asks innocently.
"Do you forget your promise? We need to go NOW or we will be late." Lisanna emphasize.
"Promise? Go? W-where?... Oh! I forgot! Lisanna I'm sorry but I've promise Lucy find some job to cover her rent."
Lisanna feel hurt but did not give up. She bit her lips. "But… you've promised me. I told you this is our first time after I come back from Edolas."
"I…." Natsu trailed his eyes, eying Lucy who laughing with Gray. Jealousy strikes him and he sighed in defeat. "Fine, let's go. But we really have to finish the job fast because I have to keep my promise with Lucy. Let me talk with her for a moment."
Lisanna nodded in satisfaction and of course some guilt towards Lucy.
"Hei Lucy" Natsu greeted. " I…" before he could continue, Lucy intercept.
"Natsu!" Lucy whined. "Finally you've stop fighting! Have you come to your senses? Now, let's pick some job. You've promised me don't you?" Lucy grabbed Natsu's hand.
"A-about that….." Natsu shuttered. "I'm sorry; I've to go with Lisanna. I've promised her. But the job is too easy. I'll finish it fast and come back here to do another job with you." Natsu begged.
Lucy stupefied. She did not respond to what Natsu had told her. She gulped and releases Natsu's hand, which really makes Natsu feels bad. "A-ahh, is that so?" Lucy fakes a smile.
At that time Gray makes a move. He stands up, giving his back to Natsu which really makes Natsu furiously mad with jealousy. "Let me do the job with you." Gray offered.
Lucy tilted her head, looking at Natsu with hope he will disapprove it. However, the word that comes out of Natsu's mouth is not something she could imagine.
"Yeah Lucy, just go with him. After all he is the one who can take care of you. Helping you with the ice when you need it. Who knows if he go on a mission with you will get full payment because he is not destructive as I am. Because he is dependent, you can just rest and let him do the fighting alone. You can have the reward without broking a sweat! He also…" Natsu said with jealousy hint behind the word. He did not mean to offend Lucy. It is more like throwing out his dissatisfaction because he thinks Gray did a better job than him in taking care of Lucy.
*SLAP*
That force stops him from talking further. Lucy could not contain her anger. "What are you talking about?!" Lucy faces him. "Are you trying to say, I'm using you to get a money?! Who said that as a team we must stick with each other?! I do complain about your destructive behavior but I've never ask you to go with other people just to get full payment!"
"I-I don't mean it to be like that! I just….."
Just save your breath Natsu. "You're right. Next time maybe I should ask Loke to go on a mission while I stay at home enjoying some time alone. I'm disappointed with you Natsu Dragoneel. Let's go Gray. Looks like you will be my servant by helping me get some money." Lucy gives her smile towards her friends and guild member and walk out of the guild, leaving Natsu who still shocked to give any reaction.
All of them are too surprise with Lucy's outburst. Mira gives a sign to everyone in the guild to disperse. They nodded and sit at their usual place, leaving Natsu and surprisingly Lisanna who indirectly affected by her words.
Lisanna walk towards Natsu. "Hei Natsu, you should go after her."
"I've make her mad. She will hate me…" Natsu dejected.
"No she won't. She might be mad right now, but she if you apologize, she will forgive you." Lisanna assures.
"Don't you see her eyes? She really disappointed with me. She is really hurt… S-she…."
"Stop it Natsu! You know Lucy better than any of us. Don't be a baby and face her." Lisanna said in strict tone.
"Y-you're right. I shouldn't have those negative thinking." Natsu give his smile. "Thanks Lisanna." Natsu patted her head.
"Sure thing." Lisanna nodded.
"Wait, how about our mission?" Natsu questioned.
"It's okay. We can always pick another job together next time."
"I'm sorry. Next time I'll make sure to tell Lucy before making a promise with you." Natsu apologize and give his goofy grin before dashing out of the guild, following Lucy.
Lisanna just watch Natsu running after Lucy. She sighed and walk out of the guild to find some space to think. Levy and Cana exchange glances. Is this what those card means? Is it Lucy or Lisanna's fortune?
…..
Lucy walks out of the guild together with Gray. Her pace is too fast until Gray having a hard time following her. When she sure they are far from the guild, Lucy release Gray's hand.
"Sorry Gray, I dragged you without thinking." Said Lucy.
"Lucy, I know Natsu didn't mean what he had said earlier. He was just annoyed because I interfere with your conversation. Now I'm feeling guilty."
"Let's not talk about this for a moment. I'm still boiling right now."
Gray lowered his head, feeling really guilty.
Lucy notices the sudden silence and decided to give up. She shows her face before Gray and smile. "I'm sorry Gray. To be honest I don't expect something like that coming out from Natsu. That's why I become mad. But it's not your fault and you don't have to feel guilty. I just need some time to cool myself. I don't blame you, Natsu or even Lisanna. I just feel a little disappointed but I'll be fine in a few hours from now. Lucy assures him.
"Fine. But you should come back to the guild tomorrow or I'll hurt you down."
Lucy giggles. "Alright…. And Thanks Gray…"
With that, Lucy walks away, leaving Gray who still watching her back from far away.
