BOLD: AUTHOR NOTES
I do not own Fairy Tail! If I did Lucy would be able to knock out Natsu in one flick of the wrist. Haaaaa… I can only dream.

Lucy turns off her alarm lacrima and attempts to pick up her body to get ready for the mission. Bending her back, she feels a sharp pain making her drop back down. She takes note of her position and confusion fills her face. She did not remember falling asleep this way, all she remembers is walking past Natsu and Happ- oh.
OH.
WHAT DID THEY DO.
She starts to panic and looks around frantically, hoping that they did not break anything in her room, or her house. And sighed in relief when she found none.
She gets up in a awkward maneuver and finally sits up. Stretching her arms up she hears many painful-sounding crack resort all throughout her body. She freezes. Hoping she didn't take too much time she looks over at her clock. Good. She has an hour left. She jumps off her bed and goes to take her shower.
The hot water relaxes her muscles, but she can not get rid of that throbbing feeling in her back, but she pushes that aside. She can deal with that later.
She finishes up her shower and packs up the rest of her things.
Heading out she locks her door and runs to the train station.
Getting there she spots a wagon full of luggage and heads towards it, knowing fully well who owned it. She stops in front of a scarlet-haired maiden, saying her greeting.
"Hey Erza!"
The woman turns to the blonde-newcomer and smiles.
"Hello Lucy, have you seen the two idiots?"
Lucy slightly sweat drops at the nickname given to the two, but before she can say anything a yell interrupts her.
"SAY THAT AGAIN, STRIPPER!"
Lucy sighed.
"I have now." she replied, turning to the two fighting dimwits.
"Are you two fighting?" asked a stern voice. Natsu and Gray let go of each other's necks and hugged the other.
"H-Hey Er-Erza! We..-We aren't fighting! We are just playing around! R-Right Natsu?"Gray shivered.
"A-Aye!" Natsu agreed, trembling just as much as the other.
Lucy sweatdropped as Erza nodded in confirmation.
"It is good to have interactions with one another."
They boarded the train, much to Natsu's complaint, and sat down in their own slot. Erza decided then it would be best to talk about the mission. She pulled out a piece of paper and passed it across to Lucy.
She looked around at the paper, and the more she read about the man, the more she got worried.
Please Help!
A Dark guild has been terrorizing our town and stealing many women and children!
This guild consists of 5 powerful mages as far as we know.
They have unknown magic.
Please help our town!
Location: Harvard Town
REWARD: 700,000 JEWELS
She passed the paper to Gray who read it over and gave it to Erza. The scarlet-haired mage spoke up then.
"Okay, we will go find an inn and see the mayor tomorrow, once we get more information we shall make a further plan."
They all nodded except for Natsu; who was trying not to die, and Happy who had fallen asleep on his owner's lap.
Lucy then remembered last nights events and was thinking to ask about what had occurred, though decided against it for they were out cold. This was painfully obvious as the dragon slayer had fallen into her lap once he was at the seat. Well, dragged into the seat.
She looked at her sick partner and sighed. She will ask him later when they were off the train.
She placed her head on the window of the train and unconsciously started to pet the tuffs of hair on her partners head.
Despite the bumps on her head and the smoothie her brain will become from the vibrations of the train she quickly fell asleep, missing the content sigh of her partner.
Lucy woke up with a start as a 'thud' is heard in the compartment of the train. Lucy looked down and noticed a blob of pink hair is under…..Gray's suitcase? She looked up and noticed that Gray had 'accidentally' dropped his suitcase on Natsu's sleeping form, making them both tumble to the ground. She looked to the glaring Erza.
"Gray, be more careful when you are getting your luggage." she said sternly before going to get her luggage from the back, seeing as it was not able to fit in the compartment.
Lucy sweat-dropped. She was never not questioning the sain-levels of her team-mates.
She stood and grabbed her luggage, as well as the unconscious Natsu, seeing as Gray already got his luggage and no-one else was going to grab him. Not even Happy, as he had taken it upon himself to fall asleep on the blonde's head during the train ride.
Having Natsu on her back only reminded her of the soreness in her back, that kept getting worse and worse from the awkward sleep in the train ride and now the dead weight on her back.
She was surprised she can even hold him and Happy, but she just must have gotten use to it as she often had to carry Natsu after long train rides. It only made matters worse that they had to ride a train that was almost 10 hours long. Since they only had two hours of day-light left they went into a search of an inn.
After an hour they found a comfortable inn called Hoffe inn (Please ignore the stupid names…. I chose the first thing that came to mind.). Unfortunately for Lucy, neither Natsu nor Happy had woken up from unconsciousness (or for Happy; his deep nap). She could feel the muscles ready to tear apart from the hour-long pain-filled travel to this inn. They gathered the keys to their room and headed up. Walking in front the room, Lucy could already feel the sleep-deprivation come back to bite her and sleep settling in. She yawns to wake herself up a little as Erza unlocks the room, walking in first. Lucy steps into the room and spots the closest bed, covered in pillows, looking like heaven. She walks past Gray and not even bothering about the weight on her head and back nor being in her casual clothes with her whip and keys, mumbles "I call this one." just loud enough for them to hear and carelessly plops onto the bed. She, fortunately for her, manages to make it all the way onto the bed. But, unfortunately she was still face down and had added weight on her head and body.
To the others it looked as if she had dropped dead, Happy had fallen from the sky on her head, and Natsu had jumped her as he was in the middle of a attempted split. (Use your imagination~*)
Gray sweat-dropped at the weird position as Erza nodded, showing she listened and agreed for her to have that bed. The scarlet-haired mage turned to the other bed and claimed it as her own, after requipping into her pajamas, leaving the couch for Gray.
He walked over to it and laid down. Despite its uncomfortable looks, it felt amazing.
He sighed and took one last glance at the weird position once more. He snorted and fell into deep sleep, never noticing the clothes that had been missing for the past hour. Flame brain is in for some hell when he wakes up. He cringed at the thought of an angry Lucy. That was something you can only survive once.
I am so sorry for being passed the date I said it would be finished on! My sister kept me busy all day. I am sorry for leaving out Erza and Gray a lot. I will hope to change that next chapter for I was trying to finish this chapter as fast as possible.
Please review and give me tips on writing! It really helps!
****Please tell me who you want Lucy to be shipped with! If you don't answer it will be Lolu!
Thank you!
