Lucy arose slowly on her bed, rubbing her eyelids quietly as she let out a soft yawn. "Hi Lucy!" she jumped at the sudden greeting, but immediately turned to look at her partner.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STAY OUT OF MY ROOM!" she yelled. "I just thought we'd get an early start on a job!" the young dragon slayer said eccentrically. "Aye!" the little blue Exceed exclaimed as he circled over Natsu's head.
Natsu Dragneel, the one guy she trusted enough to stay in her room at any time of the day and night. Lucy glanced at him sitting in her chair before getting up and stretching. "What job did you have in mind?" She asked with a slight groan in her voice. Natsu grinned as he held up the job app,
"S-Class mission! We're going to save this city that's being held hostage by a dark guild!" Lucy dropped her shoulders and whimpered, "We just finished a tough job Natsu, and I'm too tired to go on this mission." Natsu's excited smile went down to a blank expression, "But Lucy, look at how much it pays!"
Happy took the poster and flew up to Lucy, holding it in front of her. Her eyes widened at the amount written on the sign. "Oh my gosh, 2 million jewels! That's more than two years of rent money!" Her face lit up brightly, clenching the paper with a vivid smile.
"I knew you'd come around!" Natsu's grin was back. Before they talked more, a knock was heard at Lucy's door. Both the dragon slayer and the stellar mage's face became puzzled, not expecting company this early in the morning. Lucy proceeded to answer the door, as Natsu stood up with his arms crossed against his chest.
He sniffed the air, and immediately knew who was at the door, still confused on why she'd be here this early. Lucy opened the door and saw Mirajane standing there sweetly with a bunch of flyers. "Hello Lucy." Mirajane said tenderly. "Hi Mirajane, what's up?"
"I'm here to give you one of these flyers for Fairy Tail's upcoming event!" Lucy tilted her head to the side a little, before Mirajane held up one of the flyers. "The master is letting us put on a ballroom style dance!"
She stated eagerly. Mirajane's sweet smile appeared on her face as she uttered those words. "And everyone there will have a partner, so I suggest you bring someone as well." Her eyes glanced passed Lucy as she said that.
Natsu was too busy talking with Happy about the mission for him to even realize what was happening. "Oh sure thing Mira, and it's tonight?" Lucy looked at the flyer then back at her. "Yes, beginning at 7 pm." She replied. Lucy sighed and held on to the flyer.
She knew Mira was probably the one to suggest this whole thing. "Okay Mira, I'll be there!" Lucy said with false enthusiasm. "Alright, well I'll see you soon!" Mira was off and Lucy closed the door. Turning back, she saw Natsu rummaging through her things.
"NATSU!" He quickly turned around with hands to his sides. "Did you even listen to what Mira said?" He shrugged, "Something about a Fairy Tail event?" Lucy hit her forehead with her hand, as she knew she'd have to explain the whole thing.
"Fairy Tail is having a ballroom dance event, and we have to bring someone." Lucy's cheeks turned slightly red, explaining the last part. "Ahh, I don't like dances, it's not really my thing. Let's just go on the mission Luce!" He exclaimed.
Flustered, Lucy started to get angry, "Forget the mission and just be my dance partner!" Her cheeks reddening more with anger and shyness. "Alright alright! I'll go to the dance with you!" Natsu looked to the side and sneered under his breath, "Not like I have much of a choice."
Happy walked up to Lucy and smiled widely, "Youuuu likeeee himmmmm." "Shut up you stupid cat!" she swatted at him. This was going to be a long day.
