It was morning on the Saturday after Gildarts first came to Lucy's bar. Lucy was cleaning up the bar when she heard the ringing of a bell announcing visitors, and the smell of smoke wafted into the building.
"We're closed," She said, not bothering to look up. "Come back at 6."
"We came by to ask about the sign," a gruff, male voice said. "And we're leaving town at noon, so now was the only time."
Lucy sighed. It wasn't the first time someone had come in asking about the name of her bar. Usually they just mentioned the fact that it shared a name with a bestselling novel. "You're asking about the name, I assume?"
"We would like to know if you have seen this mark before," A second voice spoke up.
Lucy sighed, and looked up from her work to find two men standing just inside her bar. One was showing his right arm, the other was showing his left chest, revealing a certain mark.
Lucy dropped her work in surprise. They both had the same tattoo, and their faces appeared just as she remembered them...
"Macao, Wakaba," She gasped.
"Lucy, right? You've certainly grown up," Macao grinned, Wakaba nodding along with him.
"As much as I'm happy to see you two, I will report you for sexual harassment if you don't stop."
"S-sorry..."
Lucy smiled.
"Welcome back."
A couple weeks later, they came back, apparently having quit their jobs so they could hang around. However. as they spent most of their time leering at Lucy, she couldn't help but think.
Maybe I should kick them out...
