AN: Grey or Gray? I'm spelling it with an A for now.
Chapter One
"Hey, Lucy! Whatcha lookin' at?" Natsu called to the blonde haired mage as he sat next to her. They were both at the guild, and Lucy was staring at a job request she took from the board.
"Oh, it's just a job request, and it pays really well! Wanna come?"
"Sure! We haven't taken a job together in a while," Natsu said, innocently resting his arms around Lucy. Lucy blushed and knocked him off.
"Okay let's go tomorrow. Besides I have a novel to write bye!" Lucy quickly ran off.
"Gee, what's with her?" Natsu said, scratching his head.
"Aye..." Happy agreed, smiling to himself. He would've given Lucy a "you liiiiiiiiikkke each other", but she had run off so quickly.
The next morning, Lucy woke up to finding Natsu trying to (silently, but not really silently) climb through the window to her room. She screamed and swatted at him, sending him flying to the ground below her apartment.
"Lucy! What'd you do that for! I was only trying to say 'Good Morning'!" Natsu grumbled.
"Quit sneaking into my house, Natsu!" Lucy yelled. She brought him to the guild to eat breakfast with Happy. Natsu quickly found himself in an argument with Gray, and soon the guild was in a rumble once again. Lucy laughed on the sidelines with Mira and Levy, who were enjoying all the hilarious action.
"Hm, so I see that you and Natsu are taking a job request together… all alone. No Erza or Grey?" Levy asked, a mischievous glint in her eyes.
"What? No, no, no! It's not like that! And it's not like we haven't done any requests together before…" Lucy blushed.
"Aw, look, she's blushing!" Mira exclaimed. "I knew you liked Natsu, I knew it!"
Lucy just stared at the spiky-haired boy, who was locked in a fistfight with Gray.
"Okay, but don't tell anyone, okay? Especially you, Mira," Lucy admitted, her face a crimson red. Both girls grinned wider than the whole guid itself.
"Good luck on your job request, Lucy!" Levy said.
"Alright, Lucy ready to leave?" A quite roughed-up Natsu said as he approached the girls.
"Yeah, just about. You sure you're ready to leave, Natsu?" Lucy asked, eyeing him up and down. Natsu, who noticed this, blushed slightly. Levy and Mira, who noticed this, nearly squealed in excitement, if not for a death glare from Lucy.
"Yeah, I'm fine. C'mon, Happy, we're off!"
"Aye!" the cat said again, and the three of them were on their mission.
"So, what's this job say we have to do anyway?" Natsu asked.
"Well, it says we have to find the requester's lost dog. But apparently this dog is a pregnant dog with puppies almost on the way, and she's lost in a place where a lot of dark guild wizards and creatures might be."
"So all we have to do is find a lost dog? Doesn't sound very hard to me,"
"Yeah, well the dog could be having her babies at any minute now, and a place full of dark guild wizards does not seem like the place to be when going into labor!"
"Yeah, well what am I supposed to know about that?"
Lucy blushed at that comment. Happy giggled.
"Shut up, cat! What do you know, either?" Lucy chased Happy around. While she was doing this, Natsu noticed a house up ahead.
"Hey, that looks like the house on the request, Lucy. Is that it?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah it is,"
"Then, c'mon, let's go find that lost dog!" Natsu grabbed a blushing Lucy's hand and ran towards the building, Happy flying close behind.
A/N: well that was getting kind of long for what was supposed to be happening, so I decided to end it there. I'm going to be posting the next chapter at the same time, though. :) I ship them so much!
