Oh! One more thing, thanks for the reviews :3~! They reassured me that people were actually interested in reading this story xDXD

Chapter 1

Pushing the double doors opened, Lucy Heartfillia walked into her guild. Today was quite gloomy. Everyone in the guild was quiet, plus the weather outside surely was affecting how each and ever mage had acted. Dark clouds enveloped the sky, as it would rumble every once in a while. Soon, the pitter patters of rain was bound to fall.

Of course, most of the mages had already been gone on their missions and quests, leaving only a couple of lazy mages sitting back at the bar, enjoying their drinks and mingling softly.

"Oi! Lets go on a mission, Luce!" A certain salmon haired salamander announced as he ran over to Lucy, footsteps echoing throughout the unusual empty guild.

"How about we all go on another S ranked mission together?" The scarlet knight added as she walked over to the partners.

An entertained look had been plastered across her face, as if she had been expecting them to suggest the mission. "I already picked out the mission."

"Oi oi! Count me in then!" Another voice popped up, as the half naked ice mage stood up from his seat.

"Damned Exhibitionist! No one invited you!" Natsu barked as he whirled his head to face Gray's.

"What was that slanty eye's?!"

But before they could continue on their usual brawls again, the scarlet knight held both of their shoulders, which made them freeze in their spot. Squeezes their shoulders with her gloved palm, you could almost sense the anger sweeping out of Erza's body. Both mages immediately squeaked and quickly adverted into their 'best friends' mode. Lucy couldn't help but sweat drop as she watched the three.

At least it looked more like the Fairy Tail guild that she remembered. Suddenly, another question popped in her mind.

"Hey Natsu, where's Happy?" The celestial mage asked as she scanned the guild once again, in search of the blue exceed.

"Oh Happy? He's off on a mission with Wendy and Charle!" He grinned as he thought about the possibility of the white exceed going out with Happy.

"So anyways, what was the mission you were talking about?" Gray questioned as he looked over Erza's shoulder.

With that said, Erza pulled out a small folded piece of paper from her pockets. Unfolding the perfectly folded paper, she turned it over to everyone and opened her mouth.

'S ranked mission, to capture a necromancer at the Crimson manor.

Prize : 8,000 Jewels.'

Brown hues widening as Lucy's eyes followed through with the words, her jaw dropped.

"E-Eight thousand Jewels?!"

Gray and Natsu also seemed dumbfounded themselves, as they continued to gape and stare at the small piece of paper.

"I found the highest paying job on the list. We can handle it." Erza smiled pleasantly as she refolded the piece of paper and stuffed it into her blue pockets. Natsu cheered and hollered around while Gray crossed his arms and fixated his gaze on both Erza, and Lucy.

"Isn't that uncanny? A simple job with a payment of 8,000 Jewels?" He asked as a small sweat drop rolled down the side of his temple.

Even if it was an S ranked mission, why would the payments be so high? Usually, S ranked missions would only go up to 4,000 Jewels. But this one… 8,000 Jewels. Either the asker was really rich, or no one had been able to complete the first.

Even if the truth was the latter, it was nothing that team Natsu couldn't handle.

As if the celestial mage had read his mind, Lucy placed her hand on Gray's arm before she gave him a dainty smile, "We can handle it!"

A small shade of pink covered his cool cheeks at the sudden contact. He didn't pull his arm back though. Erza couldn't help but purposely cough at him as she tried to wipe the smirk that had been engraved in her mouth.

This was actually a secret between the two of them. A secret that only the scarlet knight had known because she had forced Gray to tell her. So Gray has a little crush on Lucy. They weren't sure if it was one sided or not, but he had promised Erza that he was going to tell her, sooner or later. Of course, telling her on the mission wasn't the best idea. Especially since Natsu was going too. Sighing, he frowned and continued finally gave everyone a small nod.

"Lets go already!" Natsu whined loudly, as he pushed opened past the double doors of the guild.

"Lets go. Its better to get going before it rains." Erza agreed as she crossed her arms and walked out of the guild.

Staying silent, Gray scratched his cheek lightly before he felt someone gently nudge his arm. Body moving slightly at the impact, he looked down at the golden haired mage. Heart fluttering as he saw her pleasant smile, he couldn't help but to smile back at him.

Dammit… Why was she so cute?!

And with that last thought, Lucy pulled Gray's wrist and brought him out of the guild.

Brushing the rim of the cool glass with her index finger, Mirajane hummed to another one ofher songs.

Flinching slightly as Makarov landed in front of her, she gave him a small smile, as if she had been greeting him.

"Good afternoon Master" She chirped as she pushed the glass back to the counter.

"Where's Natsu?"He asked, as he crossed his arms and stared at Mirajane.

"Natsu? He went off on a mission with Erza, Gray, and Lucy! They took an S class mission!"

"The Crimson village mission is gone." He muttered as he hastily grabbed a bottle of booze, and chugged it down the liquids that had been inside of it.

"Eh? Is that a bad thing?" Mirajane asked, as she brushed a small strand of her soft white hair behind her ear.

"That mission had been passed on from guild to guild, even the strongest guilds couldn't beat it. Mages die from that mission."

This was a short chapter, gomen _ ~! And I have a feeling this wasn't too interesting… But don't worry :3 The next chapter will definitely become interesting :DDD This is just how to show you all how it all started. Review please ^^?
