Lucy sighed as she looked at the request board. There just wasnt any good jobs to do.
She wanted to go on a solo mission without having Natsu go ballistic and ruin everything so that she only got half, (if lucky) of the reward.
"HEY LUCE! Lets go on a mission!" Natsu yelled to the blond from the middle of a brawl that he had started.
Lucy sighed and looked at her best friend, "Sorry Natsu but i uh... have to go on a solo mission so i can... work on my novel,"
Natsu smiled and waved it off, "Okay Luce! Me and Happy will just go on a mission alone! We can get some training in for the next Grand Magic Games!,"
"Thats right. Grand magic games are in a couple weeks huh?" Lucy said thoughtfully.
"Natsus right Lucy, You can get some training in on your solo mission as well," Erza said from the table just a few feet away.
Lucy sweat dropped, "How long have you been there?"
Erza looked at her confused, "I was here when you came in,"
Lucy shook her head and turned to te request board once again.
"Hey Lucy! I have a mission that you would be prefect for!" Mira said from the bar.
Lucy sighed and walked over to the barmaid, "I guess itll be better than the others on the board,"
Mira smiled, and Lucy couldnt help but think it had an evil glint to it, "Okay! So heres the paper!"
She handed Lucy the request and she read it,
Monster on loose. extremely dangerous, Has large wings and breaths fire.
Come at night then disappears.
Reward- 480,000 J
WARNING
might be dragon, seen useing some kind of magic with stars
Lucy looked at Mira, "Mira, you do know that this is an S class mission right?"
Mira smiled innocently, "Of course Lucy! But Master said it would be best if you went because your the only one with any education on stars. He said you will have to take a dragon slayer with you in case its a dragon though,"
Lucy sighed. The reward was pretty good, but it was a dragon! She wouldn't be able to handle that? She woudl only be a burden for whoever went with her.
She sighede again, "Fine Ill go. I better get Natsu so we can go,"
Mira looked at her apologetically, "Oh Lucy, Im sorry to say that Natsu had just left with Happy on a mission when you were talking with Erza,"
"Well who else will go? I guess Wendy can..." Lucy looked around for the smallest dragon slayer but couldnt find her.
"Wendy and Lisanna went on a mission yesterday and wont be back for a couple days. Laxus went with the Thunder God Tribe to defeat some dark guild. The only dragon slayer left is Gajeel," Mira said. Both she and Lucy glanced at the sulking dragon slayer.
"I still cant belive Levy chose Jet over Gajeel. Who knew right?" Lucy said still in awe.
Mira cried anime style, "And i had a cute couple name for them! GALE! GALE!"
Lucy sweat dropped at her friend and pat her on the back, "Its okay Mira. Im sure you have many other couple names to think about,"
Mira seemed to perk up at that, "Thats right! I heard you and Natsu talking the other day. When were you going to tell me that he had a crush on my baby sister?"
Lucy smiled and scratched her head, "Yeah well... He knew you would try to help them get together and he wanted to do it himself. he might seems stupid but honestly, hes really intelligent. Im supposed to be giving him tips on what to say to a girl. Please dont do anything,"
Mira stood with hearts in her eyes, "Just think! White haired onyx eyed babies! Or pink haired blue eyed babies! so KAWIIIIII! NALI! NALI! NALI!... Wait, are you okay with this?"
Lucy looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"
Mira looked kind of sheepish which was weird, even for her, "Well i always assumed you and Natsu liked each other and would eventually get together,"
Lucy looked at her, then burst out laughing, "You are so funny Mira! Me? And Natsu? You have got to be kidding me!"
Lucy was laughing so hard now that the people in the guild looked at her with concern while she fell to the ground in a fit of giggles.
"Lucy, im serious. Everyone here thought you and Natsu were a thing," Mira said confused at her laughing.
Lucy took a deep breath and sat on a stool, "Listen Mira, I love Natsu. But as a brother. Hes my best friend, But he drives me crazy too much for me to ever be 'with' him. Lisanna is way better suited for him anyway,"
Mira looked at her cautiously, "There isnt anyone it you like? You have to like someone,"
Lucy shook her head, "No, i dont like anyone. There are people i find attractive and would date, but that doesnt mean i 'like' them. I dont like people. I either love or be attracted to,"
"But Lu-chan! I thought you liked-" Lucy glared at the bluenett who had just appeared out fo nowhere along with Erza, Cana and Juvia.
"When did you guys get here?" Lucy asked confused.
Cana shrugged, "We heard something about you liking someone and wanted to know who,"
Lucy face palmed at her fellow guild mates.
"So Lucy, if you dont like anyone who do you find 'attractive'," Erza asked still holding a plate with a piece of cake on it.
"Love=rival better not think Gray-sama is attractive! Juvia will have to drown Love-rival," Juvia said eyeing Lucy wearily.
Lucy sweat dropped, "Well i guess there are a lot of guys im attracted to," The girls waited in anticipation for Lucy to continue her sentence, "And i dont feel like saying them all right now. So, i will see you girls later, i have to go and ask a certain iron dragon slayer to go on a mission with me,"
As she walked away towards the gloomy Gajeel she heard the squeals of her friends.
"I bet Lucy finds Gajeel attractive!" Mira said happily.
"They would be cute together," Cana said taking a swing of her alcohol.
"I just hope she doesnt break his heart... He might look tough but inside hes a big glass cup ready to break at anytime," Levy said sadly.
"Well, Juvia is happy that Love-rival doesnt like Gray-sama," Juvia said.
Lucy shook her head at their craziness and kept on towards the back of the guild where Gajeel and his exceed Lily were sitting.
She took a deep breath and sat next to him.
"Hello, Lucy-san. I would like for you to join us but im afraid Gajeel isnt in the best of moods right now," Lily said concerned.
Lucy smiled, "Hello Lily and i just have a question to ask Gajeel,"
Gajeel looked at her with a bored expression, "Fuck off Bunny girl,"
Lucy winced but shook it off and smiled, "Well i guess if you dont want to take this S-class Mission, that might involve Dragons, fine by me... Maybe i can get Master to let me have a dragon slayer from another guild come and help me out,"
Gajeel looked at her with interest now, "What do you man? dragons?"
Lucy smiled knowing she had him, hook, line, and sinker, "Well Gajeel, There is a dragon-like creature terrorizing a town. It calls for someonme with knoledge on stars,a nd a dragon slayer. Master thought i would be good for it, but it seems all the dragon slayers are gone on missions. All except you. I just thought it would be a good idea for you to get out and hit something,"
Lily looked at the blond amused. It seemed like she knew exactly what to say to get Gajeel to do what she wanted.
"Whats the reward?" Gajeel asked gruffly.
Lucy smiled, "480,00 J. I only need about half of that for my rent. Plus Maybe you can help me train for the GMG's coming up,"
Before Gajeel could say something Lily spoke, "Well Lucy-san, I think it would be lovely if you let us join you. Gajeel does need to get out of the guild, and i think you are just the person to help him get back on his feet,"
Lucy smiled at the exceed. he was just so Cute! and polite, and sweet, she couldnt help but grab him and hug him squealing, "So KAWIIIIII!"
Lucy smiled in her arms. He like it.
Gajeel looked at her like she was high, "What the hell bunny girl? Drop my cat!"
Lucy pouted and released Lily, much to his dislike, "Jeez Gajeel, you just jealous no one had ever fawned over you like they do over Lily,"
Gajeel scoffed at her, "Like i give a fuck what people think of me,"
Lucy rolled her eyes, "Oh, We ALL know that Gajeels. Anyway, meet me at the trains station tomorrow at 9 o'clock,"
"We will be there Lucy-san," Lily said with a cute smile. It took all Lucy had not to grab him and squeeze him to death.
She waved to her guild mate saying good bye and walking to her apartments to get ready fro the mission the next day.
soooo... what do you think? I have a really good idea for this story.
please R&R tell me what you think so far!
