A/N; As I've been having trouble with new ideas lately, so I have decided to edit my stories to make them even better, grammar and spelling wise. I may also elongate some chapters.

*Hibiki's p.o.v * The next day

As I walked into the Blue Pegasus guild hall, I noticed how calm it was compared to other guilds. I took a seat at the bar and ordered my usual drink while waiting for Eve to arrive. After waiting for about 20 minutes, finishing my drink, and getting bored, I stood up and went over to the request board to try and pick out a good job for us to go on, so that when Eve got here we could call Ren and make plans, seeing as Ichiya would be away for a few months. God knows where doing god knows what...as much as I respected sempai sometimes the breaks away from him were a VERY good thing! I mean he was a brilliant man and he had taught me so much in my time here at Blue Pegasus, but I really did like it just being Eve, Ren and Myself from time to time. It felt more relaxed that way.

I saw a couple of requests that piqued my interest, while I had been rambling inwardly again, one was asking someone to find a bunch of rare flowers for their florist shop with a reward of 150,000 jewels. The second was a request asking wizards to save a town from monsters that were attacking with a reward of 400,000 jewels...hmmm not a bad reward, but would be hard to split three ways. Just as I was reading the specifics of the last job that had caught my eye, I heard someone enter the guild calling my name.

" Hey," I said, turning to face the person who had been calling my name, the person being Eve...I should probably have registered who it was from their voice but, I'm a little slow today. (Author; more like too sucked up in thought to notice anything else. Hibiki: just finish editing already woman!)

"Sorry I'm late Hibiki, Ren called me and we got caught up talking," Eve huffed slightly outta breath, he probably ran/jogged all the way here to tell me the update on Ren.

"No worries, what did Ren have to say?" I inquired.

"Well you know how he is" Eve sweat dropped. "But from what I interpreted from his backwards words was that his mom isn't doing any better, so he wants to stay a bit longer to make sure she's 100% better before he returns." Eve stated.

I chuckled imagining Ren saying everything opposite to how he actually meant it to come across. But oh well, it was a good thing that he cared for his mom and there was no way a gentleman could be angry at a friend for caring for his family.

"So what do you want to do Hibiki?" Eve asked, staring at me like I knew everything in the world...which I kinda did thanks to my archive magic.

"Well we could ask someone else to team up with us for a bit, if thats okay with you?" I mumbled, thinking over who would be a good addition to our group.

"Yeah I have no problem with that as I need to start working again, my rent is due soon, ya know." Eve replied, turning to look at the request board, just like I had being doing a few moments before. Though his comment about rent gave me the perfect idea of who to ask to team up with us and I had the perfect job too. I turned to the request board, reached past Eve and pulled down the flyer for the third job that had caught my attention, with a glint in my eye and a plan forming in my mind I turned towards our master.

"Master I need a favour," I called, handing the request to the master so he could see what I had in mind, while I walked back over to tell Eve of my genius plan.

"Oh nice one, I know who you mean," He giggled nodding his head to give me the go ahead to put my plan into action. I turned around to Eve with a big grin on my face.

"How do you feel about a inter guild team up?"

*Lucy's p.o.v*

I'd awoken too the lovely warm morning sun, shining through the curtains and onto my face and Loki nuzzling into my neck purring like a little kitten, which made me giggle for two reasons:

One, it tickled!

Two, it was super cute seeing the mighty Leo leader of the zodiac keys looking like a little kid who has snuck into his parents bed without getting caught.

Seeing as today was 'Tough it up Lucy day', I decided I'd wake Loki up and we'd either say our goodbyes here and he'd go back to the spirit world and I'd head to fairytail, or he could come with me to fairy tail and we could decide on a job to take together. After I'd finally managed to wake Loki up (which was much harder than I'd expected) and told him my plan he decided to go with the second option, as he wanted to see everyone in the guild for a little bit. Which was code for he wanted to brawl with Gray. Jeez boys and their fights, I shook my head and headed into the bathroom to start my morning routine of Shower, Make up, Dress and shove off, though I'd only showered last night I just can't break my routine of my morning shower, otherwise I'd be a zombie all day.

I noticed that barely anyone was around when we entered the guild hall, I looked around confused about the lack of people in the guild hall. I wondered idly if maybe a huge fight was going on out back, until I glanced at my watch to see what time it actually was. I soon found out the reason why it was so deserted... it was only 7:30am!

"HOLY HELL!" I yelled in surprise. I had thought it was closer to 10 than 7!

"What? What's wrong?" Loki cried, rushing over to me in a panic.

I just stuck my arm out to show him my watch and pointed to the time, as he saw the time and figured out what was wrong, we both dropped to the floor with a depressed aura hanging over our heads.

"What an ungodly hour!" We both said in unison, wallowing in our depression on the floor at being up so early. We were so lost in our depression that we didn't notice the sound of someone approaching.

"Now, now it's not that ungodly," Giggled a familiar voice.

I turned my head up to see, none other than Lisanna stood there smiling down at us holding a tray of dirty mugs and dishes. She was probably cleaning up from the night before. I hadn't realised just how much work Lisanna, Mira and Kinana had on their hands every morning.

"Hey Lisanna, do need a hand with that?" I asked pointing to the tray, my gloomy aura disappearing instantly.

"Well if you're offering it would be a great help, you see Mira-nee is sick so I offered to set up shop this morning so she could have a lie in." she smiled while explaining.

"No problem, lets get this place ready for the rest of our adorable idiots to trash again." I laughed getting to my feet. "Do you think Mira's okay?"

"Yeah she just looked overly tired, I'm sure after a little more rest she'll be right as rain," Lisanna smiled at me, as I followed her into the kitchen.

I hadn't had much chance to get to know Lisanna since she'd come back, seeing as everyone was always smothering her, and my stepping back to let everyone rejoice thing. So I think helping her out might be a good way for us to become friends. I was actually grateful for waking up mega early for once.

I left Loki to his own devices for a bit and asked him to look at the request board for a decent job while I was busy, we'd agreed on the way over here to take a job just Me and Him so I could cover my rent. But that could wait until after I was finished helping out Lisanna.

-two hours later-

Lisanna and I had finally finished cleaning and setting up the place, who knew it could take so long. Mira always made it look so easy too. But I really was glad I'd offered to help out, because over the short amount of time we'd talked, things had become really easy with us like we were old friends ( in her case maybe we were seeing as she knew Edo-lucy for two years before meeting me). We had a lot of the same interests, we both liked to read, cook and tell stories about our jobs that had gone haywire.

We were now sat at a table drinking a well earned cup of tea and eating a pastry, while chatting and watching the guild start to come alive with members. I watched Lisanna's face light up as Natsu entered the guild and made a mental note to bring the subject of boys up if we ever got the chance to talk about something like that without the highly effective ear's of a Dragon slayer around.

I sighed happily as I took a deep sip of my warm tea, something was telling me that today was going to be a very good day!
