Hello, hello! I am back again guys, I had a new story idea that I wanted to toss around so I decided to just sit down and start writing! I know, before people jump at me with axes, I have a bunch of stories that people have been really wanting me to work on and update and I hopefully will get around to that sometime (I really am trying to work on it) but I don't want to write for it if I don't have the inspiration because I really want what I write to be good and genuine and okay, I am rambling so let's get in to this story! I hope you guys enjoy!

A Mistake? 1

Lucy groaned, rolling over on her comforter to look at the clock. "Ugh, I only have one more hour before I have to go out again! Why?" Sighing, she flopped onto her back. "Why on earth did I agree to this?"

flashback (Levy POV)

"What? What do you mean you're sick?" Lucy cried into the phone. "S-sorry Lu-chan! Jet came down with the flu last week and I wanted to help him get better! Unfortunately, by the time he got over it I came down with it. And now we are here!" The bluenette broke off into a fit of coughs, sniffling in a vain attempt to be able to breathe. Lucy let out a sigh. "Soccer season is just starting though! I thought you needed coverage for the school newspaper!" Levy let out a short wail. "I do! That's just the problem! I was hoping that I could go and get a really good article but now I can barely leave my bed! This is terrible!"

Lucy tried to console her friend. "Um, maybe it isn't all lost! How about you find someone else to cover the game for you?" Levy let out a raspy gasp. "That's a great idea Lu! But it has to be covered by someone who knows what they are doing.. They need to be a good writer.. Hmmm"

Uh oh. Lucy knew where this was going, Levy knew, but she continued on. "Oh, no no no no Lev! Don't you dare-" "Lucy! You should do it!" Lucy groaned. "I was just saying- oh never mind. But Lev, no I really can't. I mean-" Levy wouldn't even let her finish, rambling "Oh but I know you will do a great job! I mean, your book is so good and you are really good at writing about anything and I knooow you aren't busy, you recluse!"

"Hey! That was mean!" Lucy pouted. "I have plenty of things to do-" "but you don't, do you Lu?" Levy cut in, laughing when her friend sighed sadly "Well, no"

Lucy never could say no when it came to Levy, and she knew it. Honestly, the bluenette felt a little bad forcing her into this but really did the girl need to socialize more. The only other being Lucy hung out with aside from Levy was the animal shelter dog Plue. And, while Plue was great and all, Levy really needed someone to be able to tease the blond about. At least Lucy could tease her about Gajeel! Well, that was yet another thing she hated about missing the first game. She couldn't see her favorite soccer coach in action, but there was always next time.

"Sorry Lev, gotta go, but I guess I can cover the game for you. Curse your annoying pout! You don't even have to be here and I will still agree. Ugh" Levy cheered, sending a hearty goodbye. Now, if only Lucy might find someone attractive at the game... Hey, maybe, just maybe Levy might know someone..

(End Levy flashback)

Lucy sighed again. That girl really knew how to get her into things, and she couldn't help thinking that Levy might be plotting something. She wouldn't though, would she? No, of course not she told herself, pulling herself up and trotting to the bathroom. She let out a shriek when she saw what a mess her hair had become. She didn't leave school that long ago! "Oh well, guess I might as well try to detangle this rat's nest before I go, though I don't even know why I am trying. It's just a dirty soccer game." But, nevertheless she grabbed her comb and attempted to rake it through her hair, though it didn't do much. Eventually she gave up, deciding to just hop in the shower. She may have to rush to the game but there wasn't much other option.

Jeez though, why do I really care?

Grabbing her keys, she rushed out the door. Checking her purse on her way down the stairs (note: do not advise or condone such actions) she sighed in relief that she didn't forget her notepad and pen. Levy would have skewered her if she left them again.

She made it to the gate just in time, waving hello to Mirajane. Thankfully, the white haired beauty never charged her. She was just too nice. Or perhaps up to something. Honestly, with Mira, you never could tell.

She grabbed a seat at the bottom of the bleachers, removing her pad of paper carefully. Now, hopefully the game wouldn't last too long. She could hope at least.

In about ten minutes, on came the crackling sound of the announcer. "Welcomee, ladies and gents to our first game of the season! We will be starting in a couple minutes, so please give a nice round of applause to the Sabertooth Boys Soccer Team! The Fairy Tail students clapped politely, as the bleachers on the other side of the field roared to life. Sabertooth, so over the top. Lucy thought to herself. That is, until the announcer introduced the home team. Rip her eardrums. The stands burst to life as the students stood up, hooting and hollering over her shoulder as the boys flooded the field.

Lucy tried not to be impressed, honestly she did, but as she watched the boys filter out, she couldn't help but admit that they all were stunning. Loke, with his fire orange hair, Gray and his mop of black and chilling features (though she had to admit, she was still rooting for Juvia - she may not socialize much but honestly the girl deserved a chance), and the others filed out, waving to the crowd, but she couldn't help staring at the boy in the center with his bright rosy hair. He grinned at the bleachers, sweeping his dark eyes over the crowd, before landing on hers.

Bump, bump.

WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT?

The gruff coach Gajeel called the boys over and Lucy sighed, brushing it off. "I must've imagined it" she mumbled to herself, "besides, Levy needs this."

"Wait, did you say Levy?" said a voice over her shoulder. Lucy turned around, greeted by two enthusiastic boys. They looked familiar. "Hi! I'm Jet, and this is Droy!" That's why! "We are two of Levy's friends! You are Lucy, right?" said Droy. "U-um, yeah!" Jet smiled broadly. "Levy talks about you a lot! I don't see you around much and I know you don't know us that well but hey, we don't want you to sit by yourself! Do you want to hang out with us for the game? If I am guessing correctly" Jet said, gesturing at the notepad in her hand, "you are covering the game for her right?" Lucy nodded, and smiled wryly. "Yeah, I guess so" she laughed, and the two joined in. "Doesn't surprise me that she got you to do it. She talks about your writing all the time. Come on, it'll be more fun with friends!" Droy replied, causing Lucy to smile wider. "Yeah! Thanks!" She grabbed her stuff, and moved up the bleachers into the space they left for her. Maybe this game wasn't a mistake at all.

Okay, I think I am going to leave it off here for this chapter! I hope you like it, I have big plans for next chapter (maybe a little bit of Natsu POV, I don't know *wink wink*) Anyway, I hope you all have an amazing day and I'll see you next time!
