Nalu Love Story

(Chapter 1)

What am I still doing up? Lucy asked herself as she lay in her bed with her body turned toward her digital clock that read 3:30am. She huffed and flipped over so she was staring up at the ceiling. "Maybe its nerves about tomorrow." Lucy whispered to herself, as she was staring up at the ceiling, she finally felt the wash of tiredness take over her. Her eyes began to drop and she drifted off to sleep peacefully curled up into blankets.

"Lucy! Get up! We have things to get done today." Happy yelled into Lucy's ear when he found her still asleep in her room. Lucy opened her eyes slowly looking around the room, finally her eyes rested on Happy's smiling face. "What are you doing her cat? And where's Natsu?" Lucy flipped the covers off of her and reluctantly sat up. "He is at the Guild Hall grabbing a job for us to take on. Natsu sent me here to get your lazy butt out of bed." Happy leapt off the bed when Lucy swung at him. Lucy got out of bed grabbed a change of clothes and headed toward the bathroom. "I'll be ready soon." She mumbled as she closed the bathroom door, she emerged a couple minutes later throwing her dirty clothes into the hamper. Grabbing her Celestial Keys while opening the door and ushering Happy outside. "Well let's get a move on then." Lucy said locking her door and jumping off the porch.

"Good Morning Lu." Levy said smiling when Lucy first walked in the door, Lucy smiled back and walked up to her. "What are you doing here so early Lev?" Lucy asked plopping down in the seat directly across from Levy. "Came here in search of a job silly but my team mates have yet to meet me. Which means I'm stuck here until they finally decide to gift me with their presence." Levy laughed and pointed to the request board. "What's up with Natsu he's been over there staring at the board for a while now." Lucy looked from Levy to Natsu with Happy now perched on his shoulder. "Apparently he is trying to pick a job for us to go on." Lucy muttered turning her attention back to Levy. "I'll catch you later ok?" Lucy waved at Levy and started heading toward Natsu. "Gray your clothes!" she heard someone protest and she smiled

"Oh hey Lucy." Natsu said smiling at her and handing her a job request. "This one will cover two months of her rent and we would have amazing food money." Natsu exclaimed with droll at the corner of his and Happy's mouth. "You two always have food on the brain I swear." Lucy said slinging her bag over her shoulder, "Ready to go?" Erza said dragging her wagon of belongings behind her, "You guys are coming too?" Lucy asked as gray came walking up with a bag slung on his back. "Of course we are. We're a team now." Gray said smiling at her, "We'll let's head out then." Natsu said winking at Lucy and heading for the door, she blushed and looked around then followed her team out the door.
