Summary: Lucy Heartfilia had gone on a mission alone - all by herself because of one reason, she's jealous of Lisanna. Because she had the attention of Fairy Tail and her long-time crush, Natsu Dragneel. She now deals with the mission alone and meets three boys along the mission. A blonde with whiskers, an emo duckbutt and a perverted silver haired man.

A/N: Ohayou everyone, sorry for not being to update any stories at all. Please look at my profile for further detail about what I feel about those stories! I am to create another story with the usual plot but now with a twist - a deep twist that you might enjoy. So stay tuned!

Edit: So it's like eight in the evening and I'm still deciding whether I should edit this or not, but then my brain said, "Oh, of course you should. Yeah, it's not like you have tons of requirements to pass tomorrow," and I decided to edit this even though it is quite decent compared to other of my stories. Anyways, sorry for not updating this anymore. I'll plan to create another chapter after this undergoes some editing.

"Envy is such a bad thing, but why can't I stop myself from being taken over by it?" -Anonymous

"Things happen for a reason," they said.

Well, many things has happened to me.

One of those things is the fact that who they thought was dead came back alive.

Lisanna Strauss.

I can't really help being jealous. I mean - she got all the attention from the guild, from civilians, from the news reporters, and last but not the least, from my crush.

I didn't really want to be jealous. I didn't want to envy her for her good looks and also at the fact that she was ten times stronger than me didn't really make it better. It only made it worse.

But I can't really bring myself to hate her. I just really envy that she had all that was mine but I just think that she's just getting it all back like a girl taking care of a stray dog for five years then the original owner came back for it, and the girl who had taken care of it for five years can not accept the fact that the dog was gone but was happy that the dog found its original owner.

I sighed and took a sip at my chocolate milkshake. The ice had already melted making it taste absolutely disgusting (and I could not taste the chocolate anymore).

Serves you right.

A voice in the back of my head said.

It is your fault for thinking to much about 'Lisanna'.

I sighed once again and stood from the stool as I watched Team Natsu, or so I call my team but with Lisanna, while they laugh all together because of various stories that Lisanna has been telling them.

I shrugged off the pain my heart and instead of the usual sulking in my room, well, I went up in the request board and took a random mission that I didn't bother to look at and I just went straight the doors to exit the guild. I have nobody to actually talk to or go missions with, all of them are busy welcoming Lisanna. Some guild members became really close to me. For example: Gajeel, he was actually a nice guy. He is one of the guild members I like to hang with (pushing aside his horrible singing); Juvia, even though she thought of me as her "love rival", is a easy-to-talk-to person. I easily engage her with a conversation, either about clips, love or fashion. Laxus became my friend because of his constant teases and well, we became friends. He is annoying, but he is kind of sweet because he gave me flowers for my birthday.

Well, the problems are:

1. Gajeel and Levi had been out.

2. Juvia have been sent off a mission with Lamia Scale.

3. Laxus had been with the Thunder God Tribe.

I really despise the fact that some of my close friends weren't here. They are gone at the moment because they're too busy training for the incoming Grand Magic Games.

We found out that we were months late about the news, we are trying to catch up in the training to win the game, but now that I don't have a training partner just lowers my confidence because I'm just the only person with no training partner and it would take years for me to get stronger... but the GMG is just months away! It is not possible to get stronger within months, completely and utterly impossible.

Anyways, ignoring all those problems. I looked at the mission I took out (randomly) of the request board.

MISSION:

Help us find the culprit behind all the stolen stuff

Rewards: 350M Jewels - The Trio Keys

Needs: A normal-class mage that won't cause destruction

It was a great pay, a very great pay to be exact, and the fact that it had the Trio Keys: Neo, Kin and Uri, just made it a whole lot better. I mean they were very powerful, takes so much energy but all worth it. They're a good addition to the family: Aquarius, Taurus, Scorpio, Cancer, Virgo, Sagittarius, Leo, Aries, Gemini, Capricorn, Crux, Horologium, Lyra, Nikora, Pyxis with some recent catches I got namely: Kochad, Yildun and Pherkad with Polaris (that she may have gotten from her celestial spirits).

I went to pack my bags so that I could arrive at the destination near Clover Town early as possible.

I went to get down the train as fast as I can. We finally arrived at the train station of Clover Town.

The town must be nearby here.

I went to find the town so that I could do this mission more quickly so that I can go home earlier. This town must be desperate, and by I mean desperate - well, I mean so desperate. I mean giving out the Trio Keys? It's a wicked deal I must admit, but it is also suspicious deal - but hey, a deal's a deal.

[Timeskip: After the mission]

I finished the mission. T'was easy but of course I got a bruise in my shoulders because of the culprit or should I say a monster, which was three times my size, had thrown a tree and after that, fell in love with my body. I called Taurus (he was as large as the monster) and well, he perverted on me first, then went after the monster.

I got my award: my jewels and my keys. (I'm not in the mood to sign contracts at the moment though.)

I am on my way home. I already rode the train and all. I planned to go to Fairy Tail now. Well that was the plan but, all of the suddenly, I bumped into a guy. He also looks as if he is going to board the train too. I would have asked him about it if my butt didn't feel too painful.

"Ouch!" we both yelped in pain. I must say falling to your buttocks is painful, 'nuff said.

I rubbed my head.

It feels so painful though.

I opened my eyes, my vision wasn't at all clear at first but after a few seconds, everything went back to place. I could see the people unloading and loading the train, while both of us were just sitting down the floor. It feels so embarrassing though.

I looked at the person I bumped to, ready to apologize. I turned my head to him and to see - a blonde haired boy with whiskers? Handsome but weird fashion style. Anyways, he was still on the ground with me. I immediately knew what I was suppose to do - I stood up and dusted my pants. I offered him a hand, it is an apologetic gesture.

"I'm sorry for not looking at the way I'm going." I apologized to the blonde dude and bowed. Being a heir to the Heartfilia family had made me all formal when I bump into someone, when I pardon someone or when I apologize.

He smiled at me and apologized to me too. Let me tell you this, he has manners and I wasn't really expecting that, because I'm used to having people with no manners (especially because I'm friends with Gajeel, Laxus and Natsu).

He must have noticed that I spaced out because he lightly patted my shoulder.

I smiled at him, I decided to leave. I did not bother to say a simple goodbye because he was just a stranger. I turned my back at him and I was going to walk to the direction I was supposed to go - but I can't really do that at the moment.

Why? Because the stranger held my wrist and asked me something.

"Can you point to me where I could eat ramen here?"

I shrugged my shoulders mentally and just went with it. The closest one if just half a minute walk, not to far or anything, so I could just easily finish this simple task. I know if I'm any other person, I'd be ignoring his request, but I don't really want to leave him here - he looks foreign.

I nodded my head and led him to the nearest store that has different kind of sushi, dangos, ramen, tempura and many tradional japanese dishes. Being the nice person I am, I ordered for both of us after he told me that he didn't have any money. It was a great thing that I have decided to take the mission. I could now buy edible food.

We sat in the chairs in complete silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, we were just to busy eating the food. I haven't eaten anything since the day before the mission, so it is no wonder why I'm hungry.

I looked at the stranger and I decided to introduce myself, "Oh, my name's Lucy. Nice to meet you," I completely forgot to tell him my name earlier on.

"Oh I forgot to introduce myself!" He shouted. He face-palmed, then he gave me goofy grin. It gave me a "déjà vu" feeling.

Natsu.

I shook my head, it's not the right time to think about things like that.

The stranger bowed, then he introduced himself.

"My name's Naruto!"
