Disclaimer: I do not own the wonderful Fairy Tail. If I did Natsu and Lucy would already be together and so would Levy and Gajeel. Lol.

Prologue

Fairy Tail. A guild unmeasured in strength… but also unmeasured in stupidity. Filled with raucous laughter and rowdy guild-mates. It was just another ordinary day for the Guild as two of the strongest mages stood facing off glaring into each others faces. One, with blue-black hair that stood out compared to his stark-white skin, stood shirtless and intimidating; facing off against him stood another with girlie-pink hair and a vest of black and gold with white pants and sandals that have somehow withstood the damage the wearer constantly put them through.

At the bar, showing bare interest in the duo's normal antics, sat a blonde haired, chocolate brown eyed, busty mage who merely rolled her eyes and sucked down her drink before turning to watch the two.

"Why you little-!" the half-naked one growled out as the pink-haired idiot stood standing smug with the guys shirt swinging in his hand.

"Hahaha! The ice-princess lost his clothes… AGAIN!" he cracked up and was rewarded for it with a punch to his smug face. He flew back and crashed into a pole sending wood and splinters flying. Not hesitating a moment, Natsu jumped right back up and, with his fists flaming up suddenly (but not surprisingly), he rushed the other mage. As his fist connected with Gray Fullbusters jaw, Lucy sighed and rolled her eyes and slammed her glass down on the bar. 'Enough is enough!' were her last thoughts as she stormed up to the pair who had somehow managed to drag other people into the brawl as well.

Now it was a mix of several hands feet and fists flying everywhere and nearly knocking her in the jaw. Fed up, she reached down to her belt and, with a cry; she called out "OPEN! GATE OF THE GOLDEN BULL! TAURUS!" and suddenly a bright golden light flared up and the sound of hooves could barely be heard over the mayhem. A large double-edged axe came whistling through the air and a loud "MOOOOO!" was finally heard above the noise. Everyone, including the brawling group sprawled out on the floor, stopped what they were doing and glanced over to the Celestial Spirit Mage.

"ENOUGH." She didn't scream. She didn't shout. She didn't yell. She said it quietly but the aura surrounding her and the glower on her face promised extreme pain for the next person stupid enough to throw a punch. She could be just as scary as their requipping friend, Erza Scarlet, when she wanted to be; these were two females you just didn't mess with. It was enough to get the group scrambling up and away from the two who were the instigators; a single thought ran through most of Guild members at the same time: 'man it would suck to be those two right now'.

With a sigh, Lucy smiled tightly at Taurus and dismissed him. Then turned her blazing gaze to the two glowering mages on the floor. Rolling her eyes with yet another sigh, she glared at them harder. "For the love of Mavis would you two GET UP?!" she raised her voice and the two had the decency to finally scramble to their feet. Staring at the mages in front of her, Lucy couldn't help the tender smile that graced her lips; they looked so contrite, at least Gray did Natsu just looked plain smug, that she couldn't stay angry at them.

"You are both lucky it was me here and not Erza" she said.

Everyone in the guild could see the two visibly cringe at the mention of the red-haired mages name. She certainly was a force to be reckoned with when she was angry; not that people particularly enjoyed being there to witness her wrath. Usually Erza went with them, them being Lucy Gray and Natsu, on jobs but the job she was on now was a special request by Master Makarov. Speaking of the Master, Lucy glanced over and nearly face-palmed; the lecherous old man was currently leering at Mirajane, the poster girl for Fairy Tail who was a Take-Over Mage, as she bent to pick something up from under the bar counter.

"Oi! Jii-chan!" Lucy called out. The old guy hesitantly tore his gaze from the young Mages round and soft looking rump. He blinked up at the busty blonde and slowly grinned. "Yeeeeees?" his voice came out a little higher and she could just tell he wasn't thinking anything becoming about her; she face-palmed and sighed.

Just as she was opening her mouth to speak, the Guild doors suddenly slammed open and she flinched at the resulting loud BOOM that echoed through the Hall. Slowly she turned…. And nearly fell over in surprise. For standing framed in the doorway was none other than their friends from the Alliance they created to take down Oracion Sies.

Blue Pegasus Guild Master Bob. And next to him stood Hibiki with a grin so wide it was a wonder his face didn't split straight down the middle.

There wasn't a sound throughout the Hall as the female-like man and his partner strode down the steps and glided towards Makarov. Belatedly Lucy realized she should probably move; she was standing straight between the Master and the visitors.

As she tried to move subtly out of the way, she noticed Hibiki staring at her with an intense look in his eyes that she wasn't quite able to decipher. She frowned at him and he blinked before grinning and looking back at Makarov. 'Right. Back to the issue at hand' she thought and she too turned back to the two Guild masters. So far they hadn't spoken a word to the other; Makarov sitting silently smoking a cigar and Bob smiling serenely without a care in the world.

At this point Natsu and Gray had stopped screwing around and they too stood by to watch events unfold. Natsu, with his arms crossed and his muscles flexing a bit, glowered at Hibiki; Gray stood with a very good impression of someone who had just swallowed a lemon. They didn't care for Hibiki or his Guild; but they couldn't very well pick a fight with Master Bob there now could they? This only made the two scowl more.

Finally the silence was broken by a subtly cleared throat by none other than Mirajane. She smiled softly at Bob and urged Makarov to quit being rude. "Bob… This wasn't a social call I take it?" Master got straight to the point and everyone in hearing range sweat-dropped; Lucy chuckled nervously and Hibiki, who noticed, grinned again and winked at her. Master Bob laughed and it sounded like tinkling rain; 'what an odd phrase' Lucy thought dumbly.

Those who were close by were: Bisca, Alzack, Jet, Droy, Levy, Gajeel, Natsu, Gray, Lucy, Laxus, Mirajane, Bixlow, Elfman, Fried and Happy and Carla. "You are quite correct Makarov… I have one reason and one reason only for being here" Bob suddenly got very serious and folded his beefy arms across his chest.

"Well let's hear it then" was all the reply he got.

"I am here to recruit Lucy Heartfilia"

The blunt reply was once again met with silence and this time no one seemed eager to break it as all heads turned to look at the blonde who looked just as shell shocked as the others.
