I woke up to a blinding light glaring through my window. I slowly propped myself up on my elbow as I tried to shield my eyes from the white light.
That was weird, I thought to myself, I thought I closed my blinds before I went to bed. "Hey Luce!" I heard a voice say from behind me. I spun around and saw a familiar pink-haired boy and a flying blue cat carrying a fish.
"Natsu!" I shrieked, "how many time have I told you not to come into my house?" I ripped off the bed covers and and stalked over to the cat. "And Happy, how many times have I told you not to take my fish!"
"But rushee, we're hungry!" They both said in unison, as a grumbling noise came from Natsu's stomach. "See?" He exclaimed.
I facepalmed. "Fine. Happy, you can have the fish. But I don't have anymore food besides that, you guys have run me clean." I thought to myself for a moment before an idea sprang into my head. "Oh, I got it! We can just get some food back at the guild, though it's a little late, so they might not have anymore, but we should still go and see. Natsu." I said pointing at him and Happy, "you guys wait outside for me, I just have to get ready. I won't be too long." I assured them, heading over to my dresser and starting to rummage through it. Happy happily took a bite out of his fish as he floated out followed by Natsu.
I looked at myself in the mirror as I quickly did up a side ponytail and did a once over to make sure I looked okay. I hurriedly slapped off the light and grabbed my keys then flew out the door and down the stairs outside where Natsu and Happy were waiting for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~OOOOOOOOOOOOO~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We could hear the guild before we could see it, loud shouts and things being shattered emanated down the road.
As soon as we got to the entrance, Natsu suddenly lost his appetite and found the nearest mage, which happened to be Grey, and punched him square in the face.
I sighed and shook my head then went over to the bar and took a seat. "Hey Lucy!" Mira said grinning from behind the counter.
"Morning." I smiled back. "Still have any food from breakfast?" I asked, starting to feel the ache from hunger.
"Yes! I have some right here. How does eggs and sausage sound?" She asked turning her back to me as she looked over the food.
"Mhmm, that sounds good." I said as she put a plate of food in front of me, which I tucked into right away. When I was done I hadn't left a morsel of food left on my plate. It seemed the fight had ended so I stood up and took a seat next to my favorite blue haired mage, Levy.
"Oh hi Lu-chan!" Levy said wrapping her arms around me and pulling me into a tight embrace.
"Hey Levy!" I hugged her back. "What are you looking at?" I asked her, nodding to the parchment that was partially under her hand. I heard a noise and looked up to see Natsu, Grey, Erza, Wendy, Carla, and Happy sitting down at the table with us.
"Yes, I am very interested to know what it is as well. It looks like a job description." Erza said, leaning over to get a better glance.
"Well yes actually, it is." Levy said looking up at everyone.
"Are you going to take it Levy-san?" Wendy asked, holding Carla in her arms.
"Well no. I thought it looked quite interesting, and actually something I thought Lu-chan should take a look at." Levy explained.
"Ehhhh!?" Lucy exclaimed peering at the paper Levy pushed in front of her.
"Well? What does it say?" Natsu questioned, trying to get a good look at the paper.
"Umm it says SOMEONE HELP! Our village is in need of it. We have been taken over by a ruthless king known as "Mort Porteur" that has been terrorizing our village and taking our people! Please, we are desperate for help and want it as soon as possible." I read, looking over at Levy when she was done. "I don't see why this would apply to me." I questioned.
"Look at the reward." She insisted, pointing to it.
I looked down and read aloud "Reward: One Million Jewel." Then my eyes grew wide and I gasped as I stared down at the writing below it.
"What?" Grey asked, looking at me, wanting answers.
I tried to calm myself down, feeling butterflies in my stomach. I took yet another look at the paper to make sure I read it right, then gulped as I started to tell everyone what had made me gasp. "A-And one Olympian Celestial Gate Key."
