Chapter One:

Lucy was not having a good day, at all.

Firstly, she was lacking all inspiration whatsoever to write in her books. Secondly, her rent was due in three days and she was practically broke since Natsu and Gray had decided once more to blow up everything on their last mission. Next time, she's definitely going to go on a solo mission just to get her rent's worth, but she'd probably have to do it at night since Natsu would somehow convince her to let him come along, which she knew she would only regret later.

Finally, she was having confused feelings about her relationship status. It was actually starting to seriously piss her off.

She was pretty, wasn't she? Then why doesn't she have someone to share that with? Why? So many of the other guild members were obviously involved with someone or another, but not HER! She's pretty tired of watching Juvia fawn over Gray all the time, and him acting like he doesn't care, when he so obviously does, which also brings the attention to Gajeel and Levy.

They obviously had something going on between them, but they both refused to believe it! And then poor Droy and Jet are just watching their Levy-chan from the sidelines. And then there's Romeo and Wendy who will probably have something going on in the future, but in her opinion Wendy would probably break the poor boy's heart without even realizing it. It was just so…frustrating! Even Wendy, who's not even a teen yet, has a future love interest, and what does she have?

Nobody whatsoever. Of course, there was always Natsu, but he's in love with Lisanna, who very obviously loves him back, so that crosses him off the list.

There's of course Loke, but he's a spirit and an annoying player, so that's also another no-no.

However, at that moment Lucy did remember something that Mira-chan had been recently telling her…or at least hinting something. The blond celestial mage perked up as a smile formed on her lips. She needed to go the guild anyways to get a job, so why not now? She had a question for Mira-chan…

Lisanna was very happy that she was back.

Actually, she was ecstatic. She has been ever since she returned from Edolas (even if it happened a while back). She gets to see her real family, her friends, and of course...Natsu. She smiled at the thought of him and his spiky pink hair. He was just so…cute! In every way too. In the way that he spoke, smiled, laughed, blushed, and when he would fight for his friends…oh she could just faint from the mention of him!

However, it wasn't exactly the same when she came back, even though she seriously doubted that it would be. It was of course Lucy-chan who was the biggest surprise of all. She had really become a part of the family here, and had really become close to Natsu.

Naturally, she was a little bit jealous at the fact that they spent almost all of their time together, and how he was so unconsciously protective of her, but she liked Lucy-chan. When she first really met her, and not pretending to be the Edolas's Lisanna and her not being the Lucy from Edolas, Lucy-chan was just so nice to her! And of course…she adored nice people. She wasn't sure why though…

Her thoughts were interrupted by the guild doors being slammed open and Lucy-chan running in towards Ne-chan.

"Mira-chan! Mira! I need to talk to you!" Lucy said loudly causing a great silence to fall over the guild. Her sister didn't seem to notice or care as she smiled and said,

"Well obviously. What is it you need to talk about?" Lucy was about to say something, but she appeared to suddenly become aware of everyone staring at her. She turned around slowly, and stared back giving no indication that she had just burst in through the doors, and she acted like everything was normal. Everyone just shrugged or laughed and got back to what they had been doing. I didn't though, but that was mainly because of the fact that I hadn't been doing anything interesting before she came in anyways, so I…eavesdropped.

"Mira-chan! I have a question for you!" Lucy said. Ne-chan only nodded.

"Am I pretty?" Lucy asked continuing on. I leaned in a bit closer. Ne-chan only looked a little startled, but she regained herself and said,

"Of course you are Lucy-chan! Why wouldn't you be?" Lucy looked embarrassed and mumbled so quietly that I'm surprised I even heard her,

"Well...it's because...um… no one's interested in me! Am I really that horrible?" Lucy stated. Ne-chan only laughed and spoke to her evenly,

"Well Lucy-chan… I can tell you that you are liked, but it's really up to you and the well…liker…to decide what to do next. Actually, I'm surprised that you haven't even caught on yet. Surely you would have noticed," Ne-chan shook her head, "No. I suppose both of you are completely oblivious." Wait, was Ne-chan talking about Lucy and Natsu? Lucy grinned at that.

"I knew it Mira-chan! You do know something, but you're holding back on me!" Ne-chan simply stared at her and smiled softly. Then, the Master called for her and she was whisked away from the terrible glare of Lucy. I watched Lucy-chan as she put her head in he arms and dramatically sighed. I laughed. Lucy noticed and her head snapped up to see me, and she said,

"Oh. Hey Lisanna. I didn't notice you there. You didn't happen to hear that, did you?" I stopped laughing, and told her,

"Yeah. I heard it, but is it true? You are really that oblivious?" Lucy's mouth fell open as I stood up and walked away laughing leaving her gaping at me. Who cares if I loved Nats- I cut off. Did I really just think that? Hmm… maybe I am over Natsu. I thought of him and blushed immediately. Nope. I most certainly am not.

I stared at Lisanna as she walked away laughing. What was that about? Did she know what Mira-chan knew too?

It is a possibility… urgghhh! I am so damn frustrated! I put my head down in my arms again and tried to think in all of the noise of the wonderful guild of Fairy Tail. Why did I even come here again? To get information out of Mira-chan and to…hmmm, what was it…?

My head snapped up. Oh yeah! To get a job to pay my rent that's due in…three…days. I went over to the request board and grabbed the first one that I saw that looked easy and short. The job was to find a necklace that had been lost a few days ago. The reward was exactly my rent plus a tiny bit more. Yay.

With the request in my hand, I headed out of the guild and on towards my job.
