konamiXkatya23: Hola everyone!

Lucy: Hey! You updated quicker than usual.

konamiXkatya23: That's what I have German class for! :D

Lucy: Oh my...

konamiXkatya23: Yes... But, anyway, I'm gonna do the disclaimer. Disclaimer: I don't own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters, I only own my story.

This chapter is kinda slow, you could say. But I'm really down because I got only one review... Please enjoy and don't forget to review!

Chapter two
All things wrong

Lucy stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was undone and frayed in clumps on her hair. Her mascara was running down her cheeks. She was completely soaked; all of her clothes were dripping with mucky water. Her presents, which she got for her friends were now ruined. The frilly gift bags were starting to tear.

Tears slowly rolled down Lucy's cheeks. Her feet crumpled and she fell on the floor. The girl lay on the ground, tears streaming down her face. It felt like countless hours passed... She finally gathered her strength and walked towards the shower while shaking uncontrollably. Lucy wasn't even sure if she shook from the pain, she was probably shivering from being in her wet clothes for too long.

After the bath filled up, she quickly stripped and got into the warm water. Somehow, the steaming liquids brought all of her emotions back. She cried again, and for some reason was unable to stop the tears. Secretly, the girl hoped that Natsu would be there when she comes out. The dragon slayer always cheers her up, there's always a positive aura around him.

The girl got out and put on her robe. To her surprise, the red haired boy wasn't loitering in her living room. She felt better after taking a bath, and bend down to pick up all of her ruined gifts. The book she bought for Levy looked alright, but as soon as she opened it, half of the pages tumbled out. Yes, tumbled. They were all stuck together, forming a wet glob of papery slime. Lucy signed. Crying wouldn't help her anymore.

The young mage could clearly see that Erza's fruit tarts were also ruined. She took the box along with the book and threw it in the trash. At least some of the things she bought could dry off...

She walked towards her bed, not feeling like doing anything. Suddenly, the girl stepped onto something hard. She cursed out loud, and while hopping on one foot, the blonde noticed that the sharp object was her newly bought stellar key. She carefully picked it up, almost afraid that it would fall apart. It didn't look like it was damaged.

"Phew, if that was Aquarius, she would have killed me!" Lucy exhaled, while picking up the key.
The key was very beautiful; it looked very ancient as well... She didn't notice it before, but it glittered in the sunlight. The key was very mysterious, but it was clearly a stellar key. What was more of a mystery was its price... Maybe it was broken?

Lucy lifted up her arm and twisted the key in midair. "I summon thee!" she shouted as a figure appeared in front of her. Small clouds of dust (or steam) slowly pulled away from the small body.

"A cat?" Lucy asked rhetorically. The stellar spirit that appeared in front of her was a small black cat. Although the animal was clearly a spirit, its fur gave a brilliant shine, but it was just a cat...?

"Umm... Hello?" Lucy asked the cat. The dark creature looked back at her in wonder.
Lucy slammed her head against the wall. "What the hell is this? Alright it's a cat! But I was trying to talk to it! Have I officially gone insane? I hope nobody saw that!"

The cat tilted its head to the side. "Meow?"

Lucy facepalmed herself. "What a waste!" she thought, "but maybe, this cat has some kind of hidden ability!" The girl glanced back at the cat, her eyes full of hope.

"Meow."

"Ok calm down, calm down... I'm sure this will come in handy... I guess Happy would like this..." her voice trailed off.

Somehow, the cat did behave maturely, but aside from that, there was nothing out of the ordinary. Lucy tried to talk to the cat for a couple of minutes, but after coming to a conclusion (not to be mistaken for a crazy person) she made the cat summon itself back into the stellar realm.

Soon enough, after finishing cleaning everything up (with the help of Virgo) she put her favorite blue skirt and white shirt on, brushed her messy hair, and tied a small strand of it up in a pony tail on the side of her head. Then she put her raincoat on and head out. She joyfully jumped down the stairs. All feelings of despair have been washed away by the rain, and as the sun shone on the blond girl, she made her way towards the center of Mongolia. Soon her destination came into view. The huge building of Fairy Tail shone in the sunlight.

~Later~
Lucy slammed the door as she came into the guild. Mirajane was serving the tables as Lucy came in.

"Ah, Lucy-chan! Good morning!" the silver haired woman called out.

"Hey Lucy!" greeted some of the members of the guild.

Lucy smiled. She was right; coming here did cheer her up. But the place seemed very deserted; most of the members were away. They were all away because of Mongolia's lousy weather, or they might be visiting relatives. And even Natsu wasn't here! What is he doing? She just saw him this morning...

Lucy sat down at the bar table. Mira offered Lucy a cocktail, which accepted, and slowly started drinking the sweet, pineapple flavored drink. She decided to rest her head on the bar, the noise of the guild putting her to sleep.

Suddenly, the door opened, and Natsu came in. It was pouring outside, but Natsu, the human fire, dried in under a minute. Happy saw the blond girl and flew towards her.

Lucy opened her eyed at the noise. She has woken up from her reverie because of a slamming door, and the roll of thunder outside. As soon as her vision cleared, Lucy saw that the winged cat was already in her face. She gasped from surprise, and sat up too quickly. The young mage didn't notice her half-full glass, still standing by her head.
The piña colada plummeted to the ground. The glass quickly broke and the creamy drink spilled all over the floor. Lucy growled and stood up, to get Mira, who was already coming over.

"I'm sorry Mira-san..." she apologized.

"Don't worry Lucy." Mira smiled. "Happens all the time. You know what I mean." Lucy smiled. Then she turned around and glared at the blue cat.

"What?" Lucy yelled. Happy moved his foot back and forth and kept his eyes down.

"Are you a girl in love or something?" Lucy complained. Happy smiled as he saw Lucy's mood brighten. He pointed over to Natsu, who was already at the request board.

Lucy walked over to Natsu. "Not too great, huh?" Lucy asked the pink haired boy. They both stared at the almost empty board. There were only a few requests left, most of them boring or taking place too far away.

"Take care of pet... Help weed plantation... Oh! Hey!" he exclaimed with a grin on his face. He pointed to a request.

"Oh!" the girl jumped. "Those are the mountains that we went to for our first mission! What's the mission?"

"Guide a famous celebrity across the mountains... His name... Shizuki Alla?"

"Are you kidding me, you idiot? That's a girl's name!" Lucy mumbled as she tore the request off the board. "I promised that I would go on a mission with you! So, how about it? Although... That place doesn't really bring back any good memories..." she turned around awkwardly.

"Ok, let's go!" Natsu yelled, completely ignoring his friend's paranoia.

~Later~
The carriage rocked from side to side.
Lucy looked at her nauseous friend. He wasn't as sick as he usually was, but his face still looked pretty green. Happy stood by the rosy haired boy, waving a piece of paper in his face.

Lucy looked out the window. As they got closer to the mountains, light snow started falling. The clouds weren't very dark, but it was clear that it was still snowing at the peak.

But this time, Lucy came prepared. She brought warm gloves and a pair of warm shoes. A coat was also laying on her lap, as well as some earmuffs. "I won't make the same mistake twice!" Lucy thought. "Hey, Natsu! Look! I think were close!" she exclaimed.

"Aye", Happy commented.

Natsu tried to make something out in the snow storm. For a second, he thought he saw a small black line that looked like it was moving. But then the nausea returned, and he had to lie back down.

Lucy looked out the window in wonder. This looked like a fun mission! And she gets to meet a celebrity! Her grin widened, all of her troubles were now forgotten.

There was something hiding in the snow. As it spotted the carriage, it ran away. It hid behind a boulder; his sharp eyes followed the carriage as it arrived at the caravan. It gave a madman's laugh and disappeared from sight.

Lucy: Noooooo! I don't like deja vu's! I don't like the Balkan! That thing is nasty!

Happy: Aye, I remeber that.

konamiXkatya23: Don't worry I-

Natsu: You made me ride something again! I'm never riding a carriage ever again!

konamiXkatya23: Ok, I promise. No more transportation.

Natsu: Thanks.

konamiXkatya23: *cough* except for when you're on your way home *cough*

Natsu: Did you say something?

konamiXkatya23: Nope(:
