Chapter One

(Lucy's point of view)

"Okay listen up brats!" Makarov yelled from the balcony of the second floor. The guild became quiet as all Fairy Tail mages shifted their attention to the guild master. "I think it's time that we switch things up and get better acquainted with your nakama you may not know that well! I have assigned mages to accompany other teams or individuals to work together on a mission. This will allow everyone to get to know some of our new members and others who tend to stick to themselves. I'll have no complaints out of any of you." Master hopped down from the second floor leaving a very upset well built blonde man with a scar running through his left eyebrow and eye stopping on his cheek. "I have all the teams decided and picked you may pick jobs of your choosing and begin discussing your mission together. Mira please hang this up by the request board. As I said no changes will be made so I suggest you deal with any issues that might rise." Master dismissed us as we crept up to the second floor. The blonde hair man began speaking with the short older man as he followed him into his office, door closing behind them.

"This is gonna be awesome Lucy! Maybe I'll get to work with a real powerhouse for once and ditch the ice princess!" Natsu yelled clearly trying to get a rise out of Gray once again.

"What did you say flame brain?" Gray stood up tossing his shirt aside in the process.

The two started fighting as I let out a sigh shaking my head at the pair of idiots as a small smile graced my face. It's been three months since I join Fairy Tail and already I've had many amazing adventures and belonged to a powerful and amazing team made of complete idiots. Honestly they really were stupid. None of them think things through and answer everything with brute strength. Still they were amazing. Natsu possessed one of the lost magics, Dragon Slayer. Erza could use requip it was a more common magic but Erza could requip armors which gave her an unbelievable edge in battle. Gray's magic though was the most beautiful. I never thought molding magic could be so amazing. He could mold ice into anything he wanted. His imagination gave birth to his magic and the form it could take. There were really no limitations to what he could accomplish, if only he would actually use his brain. Oh and let's not forget Happy the flying cat but that is about all he could do, unless you want to count inhaling fish a magic power. It didn't take long for Erza to finally break up Natsu and Gray's antics by slamming their heads together. Suddenly the door to master's office slammed open as the blonde man with the scar storm out of his office.

"This is bullshit you old geezer!" He growled as he went into another room on the second floor slamming that door behind him.

Not many people seemed to take notice of what had transpired upstairs. Deciding to check the list master had Mira post, I got up from my place at the bar and walked to the request board. I scanned through the list looking for my teammates names first. Erza had been paired with Elfman, I glanced over at Elfman as he spoke with the requip mage about how manly there mission would be. Erza seemed okay with being paired with him so I continued to look through the list. I was surprised to see that Natsu, Gray and I would still be together along with Happy however, someone named Freed would be joining us. I didn't recognize the name though. I tried recalling my short time here in Fairy Tail racking my brain and memories for this Freed fellow but came up with nothing. Giving up on trying to figure out who he was I moved on the actual request board. Skimming through the many request I couldn't help but wonder what kind of magic this Freed had. It would play an important part in what kind of mission we could take. Lost in thought I didn't take notice of the green hair mage that stood beside me.

"I can't believe this what was that old man thinking pairing me with Natsu and Gray of all people." The man said when three others also approached beside him.

One of the three happened to be the blonde man with the scar who still looked as if he wanted to strangle the life out of someone. On his right stood a man the same height as he. He wore strange armor with a visor covering his eyes. and had five little tiki totems that floated in the air around him. Seith mage, I could feel the souls within the tiki totems as they bobbed around. I glance to the left to see a brunette woman in a form fitted green dress that showed an ample amount of cleavage. She held a fan in her left hand and had a haughty attitude about her. She spoke very little of Erza claiming her to be a fraud and her to be the real Titania. Fairy Magic, the woman practically look like one and her magic energy felt otherworldly and very whimsical. I looked back at the blonde man, the feel of his magic was similar to Natsu's. Dragon Slayer. Next was the green haired man. He wore a deep red fitted trench coat reminding of the many men of so called noble breeding. He long mint green hair that had been tied loosely together. He had a sword attached on the right side of his belt that resembled a rapier. He didn't have the build of a serious swordsman his hands weren't even calloused. He held a book about lost runes and ancient languages, one in which I've already read several times. Then it clicked he probably was a rune mage or script mage.

"Who is Lucy? Is she new I have to recollection of her." So this man is Freed and these people must make up the team he is on.

"Probably some other weak bitch with a nice rack that old geezer let join." The blonde spoke, I felt the anger rise in me but kept quiet as I continued to study the request board listening intently to the arrogant ass behind me. "Honestly how the fuck does that geezer expect me to work with Loke? The dumb shit will just drag me down trying to chase fucking skirts." The oversized man growled as he ripped a request off the board shoving into me causing my to lose my footing. "Watch it blondie you're in the way." The man seethed as he glared down at me giving a rather nice attempt to intimidate me.

"Rich coming from someone who is equally as blonde, I guess that would make you the dumb blonde out of us." I kept my voice even as I looked up at him, I wouldn't give him the satisfaction of me running but I wouldn't allow him to provoke me either.

There were many gasps heard around the guild as it became silent. A look of slight shock crossed his face as if trying to process but happened. I grabbed a request off the board as I directed my attention to rune mage. He had a look of complete and utter disbelief at what had just happened moments ago. I snapped my fingers in front of his face bringing his attention back to me.

"You're Freed correct?" He shook his head still trying to wrap his head around what happened. "You'll be with Natsu, Gray, Happy and I tomorrow. We leave tomorrow at eight o' clock in the morning bring enough clothing for a week and don't be late." I hand him the mission request, "Here read it over when you've the time." I begin to walk away noticing the guild watching me.

"Wait don't you want to know what magic I use? How can you just pick something without knowledge of what magic I have you know nothing of my capabilities and don't you need to study over the request as well as devise a plan of action?" His voiced annoyed as I turned around meeting his eyes. He seemed to be testing me trying so hard to look well in front of his team. Bad move Freed, bad move. I lifted my arm pointing first at Freed and moving to the others next to him as I spoke.

"Rune mage, Fairy Magic, Seith Mage, Dragon Slayer. Don't underestimate the weak bitch with a nice rack Freed-san." I watched as he and his teammates jaws dropped. I walked over to Natsu and Gray noticing they were trying so hard not to laugh at the four by the request board. "Come on you two so I can dumb down the request for you."

As the words left my mouth the guild erupted into laughter some at the reaction from the group gathered by the board others as the two boys following me out of the guild. I let a smirk grace my face as I left. One thing was for sure, though Freed looked of noble breeding he had no idea on how the game was played. One does not outright challenge another without feeling the heat of embarrassment.
