Chapter 1- the request

"Natsu-San! Look at this!" Wendy called, yelling out with a sudden outburst of excitement as she realized what the flyer on the job board said. When there was no response she turned, seeing natsu stuck in his own world, gobbling down an over amount of flaming chicken, his mouth so filled he looked like a squirrel with nuts in his cheeks, only with fangs.
"Natsu! Pay attension when someone addresses you!"Carla yelled, standing on the banister next to Wendy. "I'll pay attension!" Happy interjected but Carla ignored him.
Natsu looked up, his eyes wide with curiosity but still unable to speak with his stuffed mouth. "Fwahph?" He spat. Wendy snatched the job request and went over to Natsu as he cleared his mouth with a swallow. "It's requesting dragon slayers! It sais , " please help, there is a problem with my magic and I need help to fix it." Natsu's brow furrowed. "But why only dragon slayers?"
He took the request sheet and scanned it, the picture on a dragon on the front with its mouth wide open, but nothing coming out. The cliet's name was lyla Lunarox, located in the mountains in the town of Goodwill Springs. He's herd that before, it was home to a small guild called mountain claw. It was small, but that's because it only let in the most powerful wizards.
"Goodwill springs?!"
"Gah!"
Natsu and Wendy jumped, spinning around to face Lucy, who was looking at the request in natsu's hand with excitement on her features. " That's where the guild mountain claw is! I've seen them occasionally in sorcerer weekly! Are you two going? Can I come?" She clasped her hands together, sparkles in her eyes with a bright smile on her face. "Ofcourse! We're teammates right?"
Natsu's large smile broke out and Lucy squealed with joy, blabbering as she took the request sheet. "Oh this is so exiting! What if I get to see the s class Mage Jared?! I herd he uses chain magic and is the most powerful Mage in mountain claw! He was ranked in the top ten of sexiest male mages in sorcerer weekly too! I guess this is what you call killing one bird with two stones! I get to see mountain claw and pay off my rent!"
"Lucy you talk too much."
"Go meow like a regular cat happy!-"
she suddenly cut her sentence short as she noticed the reward, staring in disbelief. "Why is the reward so damn low?!" She screamed and Natsu winced as his ears rang from her scream, Wendy doing the same. They had enhanced hearing after all.
"Well... The client said she needed help fixing her magic, maybe she hasn't been able to find a good job with it broken..." Natsu nodded in agreement to Carla's comment. "Makes sense, guess you'll only have to kill one bird Lucy!" Natsu laughed at his cheesy joke while Lucy pouted, sitting with a sulk at the table natsu sat at.
Wendy didn't want to do this for the money or visiting mountain claw, she wanted to help the Mage in need, just like Natsu helped her when her fake guild was almost destroyed. "So are we going or not?" Carla questioned the group, and they thought for a second while Wendy answered off the bat.
"Yes! I really want to help this Mage!" Lucy looked at the blue haired girl and smiled. Wendy couldn't care less about the reward, she was the type to get more enjoyment out of others happiness. With a sigh, Lucy was the next to respond. "I'll come along, I want to help too." A beam shot across Wendy's face with her bright smile, and Lucy smiled back. Wondering why Natsu hadn't answered, they turned to him, realizing he was once again stuffing his face.
he noticed and looked up towards their stares swallowing the mouth full, almost being see going down his throat. "I'm in." He answered simply and Lucy sighed with a shrug. What are you going to do?
Wendy suddenly realized something and jolted up. "I'll go ask Gajeel and lily to come along!" She ran off as Natsu whined in protest, Lucy having nothing to say in disagreement to the offer. She skipped over to one of the corners of the guild, Gajeel sitting on a stool next to a table where lily stood, sharpening his sword.
"Gajeel-San!" She called and he looked up with his usual glare frown on his face, a grunt arousing from his chest in response. Wendy held out the request sheet with a big smile on her face. "Would you come on this quest with me, natsu, happy, and Lucy? I think you might find it interesting!"
He took the sheet of paper, it making a shifting sound in his grasp as lily looked over his shoulder. "Its cheap, we won't even be able to afford buying a sandwich if we split this reward." He grumbled. Wendy pouted in thought, trying to think of a way to convince him.
"Oh! Lucy said their was a chain Mage at the guild in the town!" Gajeel perked up, and gave a toothy grin, obviously exited about a chance to fight a metal Mage. "I'm in!"
