Authors' Note
Neko-Chan: Hey anyone who actually took the time to read this, this is my first fanfic so please try to not give too much hate, corrections will be appreciated as I would like to improve my writing, right Lucy-Chan?
Lucy: Right, and please remember that Fairy Tail and all it's characters belong to Hiro Mashima, except for Neko-Chans' OCs', they belong to her, and yes this will include OCs' so suggestions are welcome.
Neko-Chan: Lucy-Chan, that was my line, anyways now that Lucy-Chan has given the disclaimer, I'm pretty sure I can't be sued for violating copyright, yay! Now let's get on with the story, and all people reading this you're awesome : )
Chapter 1: It all began with her...
Lucy P.O.V
As I woke up, I stretched my arms above my head and yawned loudly, and for a second I managed to enjoy the warmth of the sunlight as it crept through the curtains and onto my stomach. However the bliss didn't last for long, because I soon realised that a certain pink-haired idiot and an annoying blue furball were once again sleeping in my bed without my permission. I sighed and rolled my eyes, very annoyed at the both of them, then an evil grin spread across my face. I took a deep breath,
"LUCY KICK," I shouted as loud as possible, while smiling as I watched both of my unwanted visitors catapult headfirst into my bedroom wall. That would teach them I was sure of it. I walked over to Natsu and Happy and almost pitied them, I mean they already weren't very smart for breaking in here and sleeping in my bed, it couldn't have done their brains any good to have been smashed against a wall, but it was their own fault so I didn't. Natsu and Happy stared up at me, they were clearly dazed and confused, it was written all across their faces. Natsu then decided, with all the wisdom he had (none), and after he had been Lucy Kicked into a wall along with his cat, for pretty obvious reasons, that it was a good idea to say...
"What's for breakfast Luce?" After those idiotic words had left his mouth I could feel my right eye start twitching, and could see it register in Natsus' mind that he shouldn't have said that because I was very angry, but I didn't care whether the idiot had finally figured something out because I was no longer just angry, in fact I was beyond furious...I took a deep breath and started my rant.
"BREAKFAST! I'M NOT MAKING BREAKFAST FOR A DUMB TRESPASSING PYRO AND HIS ANNOYING CAT!" I screamed, hoping they would finally understand how angry these situations made me.
"But Lushee..." Happy whined.
"Shut it cat! There will be no buts," I spat, "Now get out!" I raged as I shoved them out of my apartment, down the stairs and into the street, it was a warm summer morning so I didn't feel bad about kicking them out, I might have if it was pouring with rain.
"And DON'T EVER come back!" I screamed trying to get my message through to them. I think that I might have hurt them, however, because they started to walk toward the guild silently, dragging their feet/paws, with their eyes to the ground. A pang of guilt hit me momentarily but I soon pushed it away by thinking that maybe this would finally teach them a lesson about trespassing, but the guilt returned and I was soon questioning my actions, but they did deserve that, right?
I shook my head, as if that would clear it, perhaps some of Natsus' stupidity is rubbing off on me, but despite all his flaws he's not a bad person, in fact he's one of my best friends. I really do wish that I could read other peoples' minds, it would make everything so much easier. I gave up on trying to clear my head and just went back inside, thoughts still swirling through my mind. As I was climbing up the stairs I heard my landlady shout to me "Your rent's due today Lucy!"
"Crap," I muttered, I was completely broke because the last few missions I went on with Team Natsu had ended with our reward money being used to pay for damages we had caused, and it seemed like the people giving these missions didn't understand that wiping out Dark Guilds and bandit gangs were difficult tasks and that a few things were bound to get blown up in the process. So I decided that I would make sure that we took a job that could not end in disaster, after I had a shower and got ready, of course, but I was set on finding a simple mission, after all I didn't want to end up in debt.

Still Lucy's P.O.V
As I opened the doors to the guild I could immediately tell that something was off, the guild just seemed too quiet, sure there was lots of shouting, Cana was slurring over her words as she told peoples fortunes, Elfman was shouting about manliness, chairs were being flung across the room, Alzack and Bisca were holding hands in the corner of the room while trying to avoid the drama and Levy was hiding under a table while Jet and Droy were searching for her, but still something was definitely wrong. Then it clicked, Team Natsu wasn't there, Fairy Tail wasn't the same without Natsu and Gray insulting each other and then getting into a fight, it wasn't the same without Erza beating people up for hurting her strawberry cake, it wasn't the same without Carla constantly rejecting Happy while Wendy watched smiling and it wasnt the same without Happy teasing everyone about their crushes after being rejected by Carla. So I decided to ask Mira where they were, I headed toward the bar, dodging chairs and stepping over the bodies of unconscious people who had either got into a fight and lost or challenged Cana to a drinking match and failed miserably, but all that mattered was finding my missing teammates. When I reached the bar I called Mira over so I could talk to her.
"Mira, where are Team Natsu?" I asked. For a second she looked confused.
"Didn't they tell you? They went on a job, an S Class one I think," she said. Why would they go on a job without me, is it because I kicked Natsu out of my place, I do that all the time though, maybe they didn't think I'd be any help on an S Class mission, that I was too weak, and with my rent due so soon, what am I going to do? My mind was going at 100 miles a minute, trying to figure something out. But somehow Mira seemed to read my mind.
"If you're worried about your rent there are some pretty high paying jobs over there and they aren't that difficult so you can probably get them done pretty quick," Mira said while pointing to the request board. I don't know how she does it, it actually scares me just a little, the thought that Mira might be able to read minds. Despite that, I smiled at Mira brightly and headed toward the request board, and sure enough there were a lot of high paying jobs that required very little effort, so I wondered why people hadn't taken them all already, perhaps they were just having a lazy day, or perhaps no one was interested in these jobs. I was though, so I quickly scanned the board and found a request that caught my eye, it was very easy and paid 100,000 jewel, so I snatched it off of the board and handed it to Mira.
"This one please," I said, she stamped it and looked at it curiously before handing it back.
"Who's willing to pay 100,000 jewel for a moving job?" she asked suspiciously.
"I don't know, but what I do know is what matters, and it's that I'm not going into debt," I answered her with a huge grin plastered across my face, and with that I turned on my heel and ran out of the guild to find 13 Foxdale Gardens.
~Timeskip, 2 hours later~
It's still Lucy's P.O.V
When I finally reached the house that I was supposed to help someone move out of, I was panting and had horrible stomach cramps. For I hadn't realised how difficult it would be to locate Foxdale Gardens or how far away from the guild they actually were, I mean they were barely even in Magnolia. When I had finally regained my composure I looked up at number 13 and realised that it was in fact rather beautiful. Number 13 Foxdale Gardens was a sizeable whitewashed cottage, it had a thatched roof, a bright lavender door and was surrounded by delicate yet fragrant and colourful flowers that I didn't even know the name of. As I was admiring the beauty of the countryside, and the cottage that stood before me, I felt I light tap on my shoulder. I turned around to see a girl who seemed to be about my age standing in front of me, she had shoulder length pink hair that framed her heart shaped face in gorgeous waves, and her angular blood red eyes stood out against her porcelain, blemish free skin, her beauty caused me to feel a small amount of jealousy while I silently cursed the pimples that plagued my forehead.
"I'm Lucy," I said holding out my hand for her to shake.
"I'm Primrose," she replied, "Prim for short," a small smile played at the corners of her small serious mouth as she gently shook my hand, I looked her up and down and decided that I would like to befriend this girl, after all she definitely seemed a lot more civilized and calm than most of the friends I currently had, it would be nice to have another calming influence around.
"I'm a mage from Fairy Tail, I'm here to help you with moving," I said, presenting the job request flyer to her. Prim looked over it and nodded, she then handed me a stack of boxes which were surprisingly light, I thought that maybe Prim had enchanted them or that perhaps she didn't have many possessions. Either way, I wasn't complaining, whatever it was meant that I could lift them. In order to break the awkward silence, I decided to speak, "If you don't mind me asking, where are you moving to,"
"I'm going to live my grandmother in the forest," she replied, by her tone of voice and the expression on her face I could tell that she wasn't looking forward to it. But now that I thought about Prim carefully, she did remind me of someone, however I couldn't quite put my finger on who. As I thought, Prim lead me to a small glowing tunnel positioned directly next to her door, how did I not notice this before. "Just throw them through there," she said to me, "It takes a bit of magical energy, so that's why I hired a mage, in case mine wasn't enough," I nodded as everything started to piece together. I then absentmindedly threw the boxes that I had been carrying into the tunnel and they vanished.
~Timeskip, 1 hour later~
Obviously it's Lucy's P.O.V
When the last of the boxes had been teleported to Prims' grandmas' house, I collapsed on the ground panting, and from the sound of things, so did Prim. "Suprisingly, you actually had a lot of stuff," I groaned. I heard a groan of agreement from Prim, doesn't she know she could have just hired a moving van instead of having to go through all of that magical strain but if she didn't know I didn't want to be the one to have to break it to her, so I kept my mouth shut. Slowly, I sat up, "Prim-Chan, who exactly is your grandma?" Prim giggled a little and sat up, she had the sort of laugh that just made everything seem good in the world.
"Since when did I become Prim-Chan?" she retorted. I rolled my eyes, she was purposely trying to be difficult.
"When you go through something that arduous with someone you automatically create an unbreakable bond," I replied with a grin.
"You make it sound like we walked to Hell and back," she said with a laugh, I may not have known Prim for very long but I wanted to be her friend for the rest of my life. Then I realised what Prim had just done.
"Hey, why did you dodge my question!" I asked while Prim looked away guiltily, but why wouldn't Prim want to tell me who her grandma is?
