Chapter 1: Solo?
Normal POV-
"What's up, Lucy?" asked the white haired barmaid to the golden haired beauty sitting in a barstool in front of her. "Nothing much, Mira. I just need some rent money and none of my team is here. Erza is with Wendy on a job, Gray is with Juvia, and Happy is with Natsu, wherever he is. Speaking of Natsu, where is he? Have you seen him lately, Mira?" Lucy asks. "Oh? Love sick are we? Miss him already?" she asks the flustered blonde. "Mira! Not like that! Natsu's my best friend, nothing more." Lucy told her. "Gosh. Rain on my parade would ya?" she asked, messing with her. "Just tell me if you've seen him or not." she requested. Mira knew exactly where Natsu was, but she didn't know whether to tell Lucy or not. She debated over it for a moment and decided that Lucy deserves to know since her and Natsu are best friends. "well…" she said, hesitating. "Yea?" Lucy questioned, motioning for her to continue. "He went on a mission with Lisanna with this morning. He should be back in a few days. Your rent should be okay until you can go one a mission when he gets back, right?" Mira said. "Hey, Mira! I got a great idea! I'll go on a solo mission!" she exclaims. Mira was shocked. Lucy had never gone on a mission without Natsu or the others. 'Is this such a good idea?' She wondered. "Lucy, is that such a good idea? You never know what might happen. It's always safe to have another person with you." she explained. "No, Mira! I need my rent money. Plus, I can take care of myself just fine." Lucy said stubbornly. Mira didn't know what to do. She didn't want Lucy to get hurt, yet she knew Lucy was strong enough to take care of herself. Grudgingly, she complied with the busty blonde's wishes and Lucy went off to find a good paying job that wasn't too difficult. Skimming over all of the jobs she found the perfect one.
Request:
Our town is being robbed and we need a strong mage or mages to capture them.
Client: Mayor
Location: Shirotsume town
Payment: 200,000 J
There are four of them and they are all mages. We advise to send a large group.
Lucy had sparkles in her eyes. "PERFECT!" she exclaimed happily. Skipping over to Mira, she handed the barmaid the job request. "Lucy, are you sure this is the one you want?" she asked, worried for her friend's safety. "Of course Mira! I can do this!" she said confidently. She had definitely gotten some of her partner/best friend's job tastes. Always going for the best challenge they can take. She signed it off and bid the bubbly blonde farewell. Lucy went on her way to pack. It takes six hours to get to Shirotsume Town by train, so she would leave that next morning and be there around noon. After packing and making sure everything was ready for her travels the coming morning, she got in her nightwear and drifted to sleep, thinking of what tomorrow's adventure would bring. Little did she know, bad things were just waiting to happen. The next day would bring many emotions and she should know, things never go as planned.
