1 - In the beginning...
"Hey Lucy! Wanna go on a mission?" A pink haired boy yelled as he waved a piece of paper above his head.
"Well I am running low on rent money..." Lucy pondered, tapping her cheek lightly, "Sure!" She grinned. Turning round on her bar stool as Natsu walked over, she talked to the barmaid. "Mira! Can Natsu and I-"
"And me!" Happy wailed
"And Happy go on a mission?"
"Of course, which one is it?" Mira asked, cocking her head to one side so that her silver hair cascaded down her shoulder.
"The one at Araluen falls!" Natsu said, sitting down in the free stool next to Lucy. Happy sat on her shoulder.
"Hmm be careful, those falls are quite old. Who knows how much power is in them." Mirajane sighed as she stamped the request with an inky 'approved' label. "Good luck!"
Natsu turned to Lucy. She smiled and handed the Exceed into his rather startled hands. Then she left without a word. Natsu looked down at the blue cat. Happy was complaining and moaning. On his forehead was a post-it note from Lucy. It read:
'Gone to pack. You should too. Meet back here in 30 mins~
Lucy x'

Natsu looked up as a blonde ran over to him, a small light blue travel case trailing behind her. She was wearing a white shirt that hung off one shoulder and stopped just above her stomach, revealing her slim waist. She also wore a pair of light blue denim shorts that finished mid thigh. Small silver wedge flip flops showed off her manicured toes and her hair was in its usual side ponytail, tied with a bluey silver ribbon. Natsu smiled and waved, hoping that his blush wasn't showing.
"Alright, let's go!" Lucy exclaimed, punching the air in excitement.
"Why are you so happy?" I questioned curiously.
"The reward is not only 140,000 jewels, there is also a platinum key!" Lucy chirped, bouncing up and down in front of me
"So?" Happy said.
"Platinum keys are very rare and are really powerful. There are 8 large keys and 1 smaller one as they are the celestial keys of the planets!" Lucy squealed hopping up and down with a smile plastered on her face. Natsu loved seeing her so happy.
"Well then, we'd better get cracking!" He said marching towards the road.
"Umm, Natsu? The train station is that way." Lucy giggled as Natsu turned around with a look of pure horror.
"No... Please no!" He whimpered as Lucy dragged him off to the station.
