This is my 1st fanfics and I was so extremely excited when I was writing it. I hope you guys enjoy reading it! So here goes chapter 1! :)

Chapter 1: I'm going to marry an old man?

I stood up from the grass and brushed off the dirt on my clothes. I picked up the turnips and throw it in the basket which is only far a little from me. Uncle Reedus was complaining about like always, 'Don't throw the vegetables in to the basket like that. You will ruin the vegetables you know!'

"Sir yes Sir!" I saluted. After finished picking up the turnips, Uncle Wakaba offered me a tea and handed me some money for helping him.

"I'm sorry Lucy, this is all I can do for you," a sad smile appeared on his face.

"It's okay Jiisan! When I find my father, I'm going to break his neck." I tried to cheer him up. Uncle Reedus just smiled at me.

"Did the debt collectors chasing you again? It must be hard for you to find money to pay Jude's debt."

"What can I do? The debt list had my name on it. Well I guess I have to go now. I have so many things to do at the restaurant."

"Hey Luce! You look like a crap, man!" Hughes laughed at me and getting smacked by Sugar boy on the head.

"Don't mind about him Luce. By the way I already put the wig in the closet just make sure you wear it so your disguise will not expose." Sugar boy smirked at me. I went to the shower room and clean myself.

"HELP, THIS GUYS ARE SEXUALLY HARRASSING ME!" Sugar Boy yelled. I knew this is a sign that the debt collectors is after me. Why did he yell the guys are sexually harassing him anyway? I put on the wig and my clothes on and ran off quickly as fast I could.

There was a famous book store located near the book shop. The shop only allows some people to go in it so I decided to run into the shop. When the debt collectors stepped their foot on the carpet in the front door, both of them got hit by an old man with a cane. The old man was pointing at the wall that says, "If you think you are beautiful then you can come in and read at this shop." I can't believe that this kind of shop does exist.

"You need to let us in, we're not here for reading , we just want to collects our debts back, you freaking old man!" the first man shouted.

"Who do you call an old man, huh?" the old man hit his cane again on their head. "How much does this guy owe you two anyway?"

"He owes 100 million yen which haven't been paid for 10 years."

The old man pulled out his checkbook and immediately wrote out a check and gave it to the guys.

"Why are you paying for him?"

"Young man , why are you asking me this stupid question? Do you want this money or get hit again?"

The two men took the check and ran off. The old man was short and old with a fringe of white hair around a bald scalp, a thick mustache and a scatterbrained-sounding voice.

"Why are you helping me? Who are you?"

"Do you want to marry me?"

"WHAT? Are you playing around with me? How can I marry a stranger? Plus I'm not gay." I was completely shocked to hear him asking me to become his husband. I'm disguising myself as a guy right now, should I tell him that I'm a girl? I don't to marry an old man plus he's too short. AHH! What should I do?

"You talk too much young boy. I help you and now it's your turn to help me. If you don't want, you need to pay me back the 100 million yen debts right now." The old man grinned.

"What the.. I don't have that much of money right now besides I didn't ask for I forgot to tell you that I'm a girl not a guy." I stuck my tongue at him. The thought of me thinking that maybe this old man is homo so if I tell him I'm a girl , he wouldn't want to marry me, right?

"I already know about it. You got that thing on your chest. Besides I want you to be my wife only for one month." He had a perverted smile plastered on his face.

"Damn you perverted old man! Fine! I will marry you. But only just for one month!" I sighed heavily and crossed my arms in my chest. "By the way old man, don't you have a wife?"

" A wife? I don't have one." He laughed at me.

"You got to be kidding me? How old are you anyway?"

"Me, I'm 19."

"Stop joking around!" I hit him on the head.

"I'm 71 years old. I was just joking, you take things too seriously. But that's make you more cute!" there he goes again, a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Tch pervert!"

"I just found you and the sad thing is within one month I'm no longer gonna be here so let's spend our time together."

What that's supposed to mean, I thought to myself. "What do you mean by saying that?"

"You know, my time will come soon." His face looks different than before.

Then his sentence hit my mind. "Are you saying you're going to die?" I jumped a little hoping everything that he said was not true.

"Yup, that's what my fortune teller told me. He said I will die within one month." He smiled sadly at me.

"And you believe him? You must be crazy, can you stop playing around?" I hit him on the head again. Somehow I feel a little sad for him but seriously believing he will die within one month because his fortune teller told him so. That is so pathetic.

He handed me a book and the title is about 'Beauty and old man.'

"Beauty and old man, seriously? What is it about anyway?"

"You should give it a read sometimes. It's the first book that I wrote when I was 71 years old."

"I thought you just told me that you're 71 years old." I told him in an annoyed tone.

"Well, I'm 71 years old." he smiled.

'This is just so annoying,' I muttered in my head.

I'm going to marry an old man, what could be possibly be worse than this. I just wish time would go by faster besides I'm going to be his wife just for a month! A MONTH!
