The morning sun made its way through a small gap between the curtains, the ray falling on the peaceful face of a blonde girl. She was dreaming about all the beautiful things in the world, like colourful meadows and rainbows prettier than the ones she ever saw; of colours that usually hadn't belonged to a rainbow – up until she heard the terrifying noise of a clock alarm. The girl instantly furrowed her eyebrows, still having her eyes closed and trying to blindly reach for the alarm clock with her hand. As usual, she didn't end up finding it, so she was forced to open her eyelids.

"Stupid alarm clock, stupid mornings…" she muttered, still half asleep while she sat up and put on her pink, comfy slippers.

It took her about an hour to get ready, because she had to take the morning shower, put on some makeup and find clothes that she actually felt like wearing that day. Unfortunately, she didn't have enough time to eat breakfast as she knew she had to meet up with her team at the Magnolia train station at 9 o'clock. They were going on a mission unknown to Lucy, but she was soon going to find out about it.

When she arrived at the train station, she saw that her friends were already there. It instantly brought a smile to her face, seeing the usual scene of Gray and Natsu fighting with each other when Erza wasn't looking and was busy eating strawberry cake. She must have bought it at the recently opened bakery, not far away from the station.

"I guess cakes are also good as breakfast, huh?" Lucy said when she walked up towards them, with an amused smile on her lips. The red haired girl stopped chewing for a second and furrowed her eyebrows, which was a bit intimidating.

"Hey I didn't mean to upset you…" the blonde laughed sheepishly and took a step back, putting her arms in front of herself defensively. She knew that cakes were a sensitive topic for Erza.

"Only strawberry cakes are good for breakfast."

Erza replied proudly and focused her attention back to eating. Whenever she looked at the two guys they looked calm, but in reality they didn't even want to board the same train.

"Right." Lucy snickered quietly, happy that she was able to avoid conflict.

When Natsu heard the announcement that their train was going to arrive in a couple of minutes, he was already green from thinking about a train ride. It was always quite funny for the celestial mage, because she never understood how he could get motion sickness just by thinking about it.

So the boys finally stopped arguing thanks to this distraction, for now.

"Pathetic." said Gray, looking at Natsu. Pinky still managed to give him a glare while suffering through motion sickness, without motion. Gray made eye contact with Lucy and smiled softly. She returned the smile and that was their usual greeting. They never had to say anything to each other and could start talking without saying 'hi', but somehow they didn't talk much and they weren't best friends like Lucy was with Levy.

They just knew they could trust each other and count on each other. They were friends and guildmates.

I do not own Fairy Tail, but I own this story. Everyone says this, so there you go. I probably won't say this again under other chapters.

This is my first fan-fiction in English. I hope that I didn't make any mistakes, but if I did, please let me know ;) My English is fluent, but it's never going to be my native language and I probably will make a couple small mistakes here and there. After uploading this chapter I actually realised how short it is, so I'm sorry for that. I actually thought this would be long enough as it took me a page in Word and I was proud of that. I'm not really sure how many chapters this story is going to have, but I probably shouldn't leave it like this. It's more like a prologue now than anything else.

Anyways, please review and tell me what you think! I'm quite anxious whether you guys will like it, but I wanted to write a story for a long time and I might as well share it here.
