Lucy made her way through the dense crowds of strawberry street as she frantically shouted "I'm so late!". Dodging around people she made a sharp turn and ran up to the back door of an old music shop. As she ran in she was meet with her manager standing firmly in front of her.
"Your late, again." She said.
"I'm so sorry! I was held up at home again." Lucy panted out.
"No more excuses. This is the fifth time you've been late to work. You're fired." Lucy stood there froze at the news just given to her. She lost yet another job.
Hello I'm Lucy. Just your ordinary high school student with a bit of family issues. My mom died when I was ten which left my scarred. Ever since my father had become cold to me and barely acknowledges my presence. Two years ago he fell sick with the same disease that took mom and died. Ever since I've been having to work like a dog to pay the medical bills and try to keep up with school. The little time I have to myself I spend playing around in the kitchen or fixing up the shop my family owned. My dream is to reopen the diner and eventually have a chain of restaurants. But with my current situation it seems pretty far fetched.
I'll be in debt for at least the next twenty-five years. Sighing heavily I pulled out my laptop to do some job searching.
...
"Damn it! Shit!" Natsu yelled as he ran away from the large crowd of girls behind him. He had been stupid enough to go out without a disguise. Now he was paying for it.
Taking a turn into an alley he hid behind a dumpster and waited till the screams of his fans faded away. He ran his fingers through his spiky pink hair and got up to leave.
Hey there I'm Natsu! Just your every day badass guitarists for the Fairy Tail band. Please, calm yourself. When I was six my dad took me to my first guitar lesson. At the age of thirteen me and a couple of my buddies formed our own band. At the age of sixteen our group took off and soon everyone knew our names. We signed a contract with the Magnolia talent agency and went on our first tour. Life's been good to me ever since. I love what I do, playing music that people can enjoy together. I would give it up for anything in the world.

Lucy still had no luck finding another job and was left with her part-timing at a book store. The pay was good and she got to read as much as she wanted. The problem was the work hours. They only eve needed her Thursday through Saturday. Now there was a big gap in her schedule that she needed to fill. Lucy was so used to being a busy bee that having free time was unnerving.
So with it being Sunday and her weekend homework all done she had nothing to do. "Might as well go grocery shopping." Lucy muttered to herself. Lucy grabbed her coupons and purse, wallet, phone, and headed out the door.
[At store]
Looking at her grocery list, Lucy walked down the aisles grabbing what she needed. She needed potatoes, carrots, bacon, cheddar cheese. Lucy planned on making baked potato soup for dinner.
Making her way too the canned aisle she grabbed some cup of noodles and canned beans and rice for her lunch.
Paying the clerk for the food, Lucy made her way back home but didn't get to far after slamming into another person.
...
"You think a guy would learn!" Natsu yelled as he once again ran away from a raging sea of hormones. He just wanted to go check out the local music store but quickly ran into a swarm of fans. He could already see the face on that stupid ice prick when he got back.
Natsu was too distracted thinking of his ugly mug to pay attention to his surroundings and ran right into someone.
"Hey what are you-" A feminine voice came from underneath him. He looked down to see a blonde teenage girl around his age. He didn't get a lot of time to make out a details as high pitched screams brought him back to reality. "Come with me." He said as he pulled her up and dragged her to corner.
"I need you to hide!" He stared into her chocolate brown eyes.
"What?" She asked confused.
"Please! I'll do whatever it want!" He begged. The girl thought about it for a second and sighed.
"Follow me." She told and took off down the street, waist length hair flowing out behind her. Natsu followed her down two blocks where they stopped in front of an old abandon building. The girl took out a key and unlocked the place. Natsu hesitantly followed her in. They went into the back where she flipped on the light switch.
"You can hide here for the time being." She said and set what looked like grocery bags on the counter. Natsu decided to looked around the little shop. It was nicely clean but had almost no furniture. Their was three round tables with two chairs at each but that was it. Looking into the kitchen he saw the girl put her food away into the fridge. Did she live here?
"I'm Lucy." She introduced as she handed him a glass of water. "What's your name?" She asked. Was this girl serious? How in the world did she not know who HE was?
"I'm Natsu Dragneel," he announced, "the lead guitarist for Fairy Tail." Expecting her to scream or jump around he was surprised as she didn't have any reaction.
"Ah, That band everyone is into these days." She stated after a bit silence. "So that's why those girls were chasing you." Natsu nodded and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. Something was seriously wrong with this girl.
"So you said you'd do whatever I wanted, right?" Lucy asked. Natsu nodded, once again expecting her to go into fan mode and ask for a picture or autograph. But was once again met with something else entirely.
"Rice."
"What?"
Lucy pointed over to a bag of rice that was torn open. "When you ran into me I lost my rice. That'll be six jewels please." She smiled. Natsu gave her a ten and her smile grew larger.
"Stay here and I'll bring you your change." Lucy walked out leaving Natsu alone. Looking out the window he saw the paparazzi roaming the streets. Looks like he was forced to camp out here until they were gone. He really screwed up big time.
