Chapter 2 – Not Okay!

Lucy often wished that her view of working and going on missions where more like Natsu. The eagerness, the feeling of being unbeatable, not to mention the whole in-your-face thing he had going. She also wanted to feel 'All fired up' and be able to just attack anything that moved. But sadly for her that was not happening within her mind when a giant squid monster appeared out of thin air. All that went through her mind in situations like that was more of a 'Run bitch, run!" kind of feeling.

Her motivation to doing work was solely because of rent and money, however sad that sounded. To be fare though, she had to pay for her living expenses compared to her flame eating partner in crime, whom already owned his house. Another reason would be Natsu, he always dragged her along for crazy adventures, and some which she wished he hadn't. Thinking about all the times that they had spent with each other, travelling and fighting side by side, she really couldn't understand how she was still alive. He was the one that did the most out of the two though, in the end he fought the big monsters while she assisted him the best she could. Not that he needed it most of the time. When her group of friends reminded her of the times in which she barely had done any real damage she reminded them of the fact that there was more to a celestial mage than just fighting spirit. That did not mean that she was unimportant or weak, it was just a fact that different abilities was useful for different kinds of assignments. It did not matter how many times she brought this up tho, sense by the next time something similar happened, everything started anew.

Considering all this, she had no problem letting him choose the job for the most part. If he did most of the work, it was only fair that he could choose exactly what he wanted to do. If he wanted to fight big and terrifying monsters, whom was she to argue with him.

This did not change the fact that she hated the thought of dragging her butt out of bed early in the morning. If she had to get up prior to 9, she was not going to entertain anybody within the closest couple of hours. Today, however, was different…In a sense. She was still tired and she still hated the whole idea of her getting up that early, but she could feel excitement and readiness of finally getting to work. They had been back from Edolas a week and done nothing else than fret over the holy return of Lisanna Strauss. Looking at Natsu, she thought they never would start taking on jobs again. But here she was 15 minutes early. Ready and waiting for him by the trains. She had even dressed accordingly. Denim shorts that were easy to move around in, and a nice white sweater that both chilled her down and heated her up depending on the climate. The only problem she had found wrong of her looks that morning was her hair. As her hair had started to grow longer she knew it was time for a change.

She could really feel happiness bubble inside her. How excited wasn't she! Finally she could work and earn money. Finally Natsu had come down from cloud nine and asked her to go on a job. Both he and Happy both smiling while holding up a piece of paper. After being so preoccupied with Lisanna, Lucy thought that it would at least take a month before everything went back to normal. But after hearing Natsu's "Lucy! Let's take this job!" she could feel something moving into place.

So there she was at 7.50 in the morning, waiting happily for him with a big smile on her lips. The smile lasted longer than one would think. It was not until he was 30 minutes late that the smile fell of her face. And when he hadn't appeared after another hour she understood that it wasn't about him being late anymore, he just wasn't coming. Now that was not okay. But she knew where to find him. And she was not gonna let this one go!

At the guild

Anybody that knew Lucy also knew that she was not a vulgar person. She did not slam and break things. Easily irrigated yes, but not barbaric in the least. However after spending many hours with the other Lucy in Edolas she had started to take on some of her personality traits. And Lucy, in the moment that she was in now, couldn't care less about it.

So she barged into the guild with a loud slam of the doors. She knew that the majority of the people in the guildhall was experiencing a bad hangover and so she felt like not having any respect for them. And then she saw him. He was happily chatting with Lisanna, leaning against his arm and her sister.

She walked up to their table and slammed her hands down on it. The three people sitting there all looked surprised as she did so.

"Natsu! What the hell!" her mind was filled with anger.

"Oh Hey Lucy!" He said with a smile. Just looking at his face she understood that he did not have a hangover, which made her even madder.

"Don't you 'oh hey Lucy' me! How can you just sit there? You were supposed to meet me over an hour ago!" she screamed with a vein popping.

"Huh, Lucy did you drink too much yesterday?" a little smile appeared on his face, making him seem innocent and cute.

"The job Natsu! The fucking job YOU wanted to do!" she could feel how her anger started to grow. Stop smiling Natsu, you're making it worse, she thought.

"Oh right! That was today. Gray said something about that yesterday. It's okay tho, just choose another one." The smile still bright on his lips.

"No, no it's not that easy! You can't just say that and then everything is alright and forgiven."

The people around the hall had started to interest themselves for the ongoing discussion. Soon enough the two of them were the only ones speaking.

"Chill Lucy! Damn you got to stop being so grumpy in the morning! You are no fun when you are." That did it now, she was fuming.

"This is not about me being grumpy Natsu! We are not talking about this to have fun! This is about you ditching me without a fucking word!" Gray had appeared by her side and had put a hand on her shoulder. To try and calm her down. It didn't help. "You wanna sit around like a lovesick moron and reminisce about the past! Sure go ahead, but don't mess with me and my work!"

Then Lisanna opened her mouth. And Lucy couldn't help but wonder why people just couldn't let them fight in piece.

"But if you want to work nothing is stopping you, right? You don't have to bring Natsu to go on a mission. I feel that you are being a bit unfair…"

"Shut up!" Lucy said and turned her attention to Lisanna. "Oh I would have already, if it wasn't because this Fireball always end up complain for weeks when and if I do a job alone. You want to know why Lisanna?" she continued.

Lisanna still looked shocked about suddenly getting a 'shut up' in her face and so didn't have time to stop Lucy from rambling on.

"I'll tell you. He was the one to trick me into a partnership with him! He is the one that value Team Natsu the most! So during all the time I've been in the guild I've worked with him, and if I did not he has never shut up about it! So as an answer to your little comment. No, It is not unfair of me being mad at him because of this! Now sit down and don't get involved."

As she said that Natsu rose quickly and aggressively from his chair. At least the smile is gone, Lucy thought.

"Don't speak to her that way Lucy! You have no right to do that! She's gone through a lot and she has done nothing wrong." Lucy could feel his anger, wasn't that fitting.

"What! She's been living a normal life with the other guild, it's not like she's been captive in a dungeon or anything, don't be overdramatic Natsu… Whatever I can't care less about her right now!" She spit her words in his face. "You don't want me as a partner anymore, is that it? You want Lisanna to partner up with you, just like the old days, right? Fine, it's a deal. But next time Natsu, do me a favor. Don't be such a wuss, just man up and say it to my face instead." With those words she turned her back on him and left the guild.
