Summary:
Lucy loves her friends, really, but when they practically unknowingly brag about how rich they are, she hears enough of it. So, to combat this dilemma she gets a job, in at a cafe. It was supposed to be a normal job but with her fellow 'salmon' haired boy, and normal looking cook who has a stripping habit, things can get out of hand.
Lucy's POV
I ran out of the cafe heading for my apartment. I really need to look for that opening. . .
~Flashback~
My phone rang, when I looked at the caller ID it told me Mira. Mira was Mirajane for short, she was a very popular model and really loved pairing people up for some reason. During high school people called her the demon matchmaker. Back to the point, she called and I of corse picked it up eagerly.
"Hello?" as I slowly brought the phone up to my ears. "Is that you Lucy?" she questioned. "Yes, but why did you call? Do you have another couple you want to pair up again?" I said warily. "Its more important" she took a deep breath," We're going to have a sleep over!" *insert ear breaking squeal*
"When? Where?" I asked."Today at Erza's house 7:00 pm, sharp, don't be late" she answered as she hung up.
I looked at the clock and it was nearly 6:29 pm. Oh, great I told myself as I rushed out of my apartment and grabbed the nearest clean PJs I could find.
Erza's house was just 20 minutes away. Just think if I was late. . . Truth or Dare that was the worst game you can play with who was going to come to the sleep over. My guess that she invited herself, Erza of course, me, Levy, Cana, and Wendy (although the poor thing was still in middle school). Cana's dares and Mira's truths you wouldn't come out unscathed.
Time flies when you think. So, naturally I arrived at her house a bit early... Although when I checked my phone it was still 6:48. I walked up to her door way. Not of course before marveling at her big house. Erza was pretty rich, with a job as a fashion designer. People practically ogled at her work which were durable and stylish. Levy on the other had was a book writer as well as a reviewer. Cana, well she was special because she owned a wine and beer brewery. Me well I didn't really have a stable job all, the only
I thought maybe I should get another job as I rang the door bell. Instantly I heard someone run to the door. I was greeted by a really irritated, blushing Erza. "Oh, its just you Lucy come in." as she opened the door wider. Every single time I go inside her house it was amazing. It almost made the outside look simple and that was saying something. There was a huge glass chandelier that shinned and shimmered. The light on the chandelier cascaded to the ground and lit up the creamy colored tiles. But, that wasn't all there were pillars that were Greek styled. Almost two times as tall as me and as wide as half the chandelier.
A ear piercing shriek echoed in the hall ways. Erza and I looked at each other and ran to the direction the voice was coming from. Passing her living room and kitchen after that her room was sighted and when they slowly opened the door, they found. . .
A very curious Mira interrogating a very red Levy. My guess the one person that could make my best friend blush like that, Gajeel Redfox. The almost strongest person I knew, other from a certain blonde that could make the other occupant in this room blush as madly.
"What is it this time?" Erza said and sighed. "Oh nothing, Erza just asking how her date went." giggled Mira. "For the millionth time, it wasn't a date I just asked hiim to go shopping with me." Levy said while sighing and blushing at the same time. You see coincidently ,these high school crushes, moved in an apartment room that were right next to each other. 'Being a good neighbor' Gajeel apparently told her "If you need anything just ask, Shrimp." or something like that. Which she kindly informed us about on the last emergency meeting Mira had. Since then it was all Levy x Gajeel which was almost mentioned every time Mira had to talk to her.
I could see everyone was here and I was the only one who hadn't arrived. I carefully walked into the room, on the floor there were pillows like land mines everywhere.
I heard a giggle,"Hi Lucy where have you been?" Mira said." I just came." I replied." You know what we should do?" everyone shook their heads," Let's ditch this room and go to the cafe down the block." Mira suggested. "Let's, I can't stand Mira telling me about dates and love and yada yada. It's pretty irritating you know." Levy said.
~Time Skip~
The cafe was pretty nice, the walls were nice cool colors, and the tables were a nice polished wood. We sat down adding a few chairs, since there were six people and only 4 chairs to a table. As the menus were placed on the table, there was a lady named Ashely who took our orders while were where waiting. . .
"Since I didn't ask you guy about your love life, how has it been? Catch any boys yet?" Mira asked. "The whole purpose of this sleep over" *insert air quotes*," was just to see if we had any boyfriends, wasn't it? And no I'm still single I need to look for a stable job" I said attempting to change the subject. "Really?" they all said in a creepy unison. "We can help if you want." Wendy said surprising us. " My cousin was looking for a job. I think he found one that was a cafe. Or something I think they needed another full-time worker, who had experience. I hear the job is 150,000 jewels per month." Wendy said." Oh my gosh no way! Thats perfect Wendy your a life saver what was the cafe called?" I asked as got off of my chair."Fairy Tail or something like that I think I was on this weeks paper." Wendy said. "Bye guys I need to look for that opening!" I said as I rushed out.
No ones's POV
"Darn she got way." Mira said. "So, want to continue, ladies" she said with a glint in her eyes. *gulp* oh geez they thought this is going to get ugly.
~End Flashback~
Lucy's POV
Thank goodness I kept the paper this week, I thought as I drove to cafe. There was a huge building in red paint that said FAIRY TAIL. I had a sinking feeling but, shook it off, 100,000 jewels enough to pay my rent and have left over. I slowly opened the door and what I saw changed my life forever. . .
