At the bar in Fairy tail, Lucy was seated at one of the many barstools drinking a strawberry milkshake. Two week has passed and apart from the odd job from Makarvo, Lucy has been asked to do a thing. But with this time she was learned a five things about fairy tail.

1. A normal day in Fairy Tail has at least two fights.

2. It is a must for the girls of the guild to gossip if not they become gossip.

3. Erza is as scary as scary can get, mess with her or her cake and you better start planning your funeral.

4. People here see themselves as family members and are very protective of each other, expect when theres a fight then all that is through out the window.

5. And lastly, Natsu hates her guts.

Lucy has no idea why but ever since she got here it feels like someone is trying to set her on fire, and when she turns around all she can see is Natsu's inferno glare. Its really starting to get on her nerves how dare he treat her like that. 'when I get magic back I'm going to send him running with his tail between his legs' with that thought in mind Lucy continued to peacefully drink her milkshake.

Or so she thought. Just as her plump pink lips reached for the straw, a chair came flying out of the brawl hitting Lucy square in the head. A tick mark formed on Lucy's head as she tried to bring down her anger levels.

"their very rowdy today, don't you think?" Turn her head to she who was talking to her, a smiling Mira stood behind the bar cleaning a cup.

"Rowdy is no were never what they really are" Lucy replied, rubbing the back of her sore head see if there was a bruise.

"You get used to it after a while" Mira put down the mug, still smiling at Lucy as she rolled her eyes. 'There is no way I will get used to this guild' sighing at her own thought, Lucy went back to her forgotten drink before once again see was stopped.

"I don't understand why she is here, all she does is sit around doing nothing all day." Anger started boiling up in Lucy once again as she turned around in her seat to see what idiot said that And trust me she wasn't surprised to she who did. When she turned around her eyes narrowed onto Natsu who was sitting with Erza, Cana, Levy and Gray. 'That little rat' hopping of her barstool, Mira, I think you should leave the bar for a bit, I don't want you getting hurt" confused, Mira watched as Lucy stomped over to their table.

"hey pinky, if you wanted a fight so bad you could of just asked me. It will be my pleasure to send you to the infirmary." Standing a few feet away from Natsu and the others, Lucy glared back at him as he glared at her.

"alright, I'm all fired up" raising from his chair, Natsu let his fist on fire. Getting in a fighting stance, Natsu was about to attack.

"WAIT!" Stopping in his tracks! Natsu got up from his fighting stance confused.

"What? I thought we were going to fight, have you already chickened out." sighing Lucy, rubbed her forehead trying to remind her self that he's an idoit and not to kill him."You really are an idiot" Natsu growl at the Blonde girls comment, getting back into a fighting stance ready to fight even if she wasn't.

"I can't fight you it's breaks one of my rules as your servant, You have to ask me to fight you or else I have to spend another week of my life here And besides I have no magic I wouldn't call that a fair fight." Haffing, Lucy put hands on her hips trying to make herself bigger than the now growling dragon boy that was giving her a equally scary glare that rivalled Erza's. 'So, he hates me that much that he she's me as a enemy' Lucy could only think, looking at Natsu.

"Alright then, LUCY FIGHT ME!" Running towards her Natsu tried to punch her, the whole guild watching closely as their little argument seemed to catch everyone's attention. Running towards Lucy, Natsu reeled his fist back aiming for her unguarded stomach and much to his surprise she didn't defend herself giving him a clear shot. Lucy fell to her knees clutching her now red abdomen. Natsu expression change from surprise to one of victory, a smirk on his lips he turned to look at his comrades, But stopped when his sensitive ears picked up a small snicker. Looking back at the blonde girl, Natsu watched as she picked herself back onto her feet as if nothing happened. No emotion was seen on Lucy's face as she raised, her eyes hidden behind her fringe. Stand back on two feet her head hung but Natsu could still see a smirk that played on her lips. The once snicker turned into a full blown laugh as he watch as she seemed to have seen the most hilarious thing in the world, his patience running low a tick mark forming on his head, Natsu almost lost it as Lucy almost fell over as laugther over toke her body.

"WHAT'S SO FUNNY! STOP LAUGHING AND TELL ME WHAT'S SO FUNNY!" Steam was coming out of Natsu's ears as all that did was made her laugh harder. Lucy coughed starting to losing her breath, bending over and grabbing her knees Lucy looked up at Natsu with a Playful smile.

standing up straight Lucy could see a slight blush on cheeks, and could help but let out another laugh."You want to know what's so funny dragon-boy?" Natsu nodded his head slowly as if he wasn't sure if that was the right answer, his reaction bring back Lucy's smirk. "I find it really funny that the son of a dragon, the fire dragon slayer that you are cant even pack a punch. And here I expected a big, fight that would drive me to exhaustion but really I could beat you even without magic."

Natsu cliched and unclenched his fist, a fire burning in his eyes. Looking up at the smiling girl Natsu lit his fist on fire getting into a fighting stance.'Who does she think she is, I'll show her who can pack a punch' glaring at Lucy a new determination growing inside of him stronger then before."You better take that back."

"Make me" Natsu charged at Lucy, getting into a defense stance Lucy wait for the right moment. Trying the same thing Natsu reeled back his fist aiming for her abdomen. Lucy watched Natsu's movement and at the last moment grabbed Natsu's still aflame hand Lucy stopped him in his tracks, catching him off guard she threw him over her shoulder into the bar hitting his head on the shelving unit before falling to the floor along with all the alcohol on the shelves behind the bar. "NOOOOOO!" Cana fall to her knees as she watched the bottles smash onto the floor and some on Natsu. Everyone was once again shocked as this Girl seemed to shock them every day.

A groan came from the bar, as Natsu pulled him self up to see Lucy slowly making her way towards him. Anger flowing though him, Natsu caused the alcohol to catch alight setting the bar on fire. With fire surrounding him most would of ran for the hills as Natsu looked like a demon ready to kill, going at Lucy again, she dodged the blow side stepping to avoid it. Bring up her knee Lucy got a clear shot at Natsu's stomach making him hit his back on the bar. Not letting him get his breath Lucy grabbed Natsu by his arm, flipping him onto his stomach and putting him into a shoulder lock, with his face into the charcoaled wood of the bar.

"Give Up!" Lucy moved Natsu's arm into a more painful place, pushing his face when more into the bar."Before I do something I will regret" Natsu's breath came out in shallow pant, his back ached and he's pretty sure Mira will have to dig out a couple of pieces of glass that had become stuck in his skin. Natsu couldn't get himself out of her lock and every movement he made with his arm shot pain though his arm and shoulder, Trying to trip her with his legs but Lucy was way ahead of him pinning his legs on the side of the bar. No one stepped in, knowing it was their fight and they need to let out some anger towards each other. Seeing that Lucy had won Makarvo put down his beer look towards the still struggling Natsu and sighing."Natsu my boy give up, you have lost, expect that."

"NO! I will beat her, I know I can" Natsu said determined to win, even if he knew he didn't have a chance.

"Look, Natsu just give up already. I don't want to let you go then have you attack me okay, there is no way you can beat me." Natsu stopped struggling to listen to Lucy reason, and whispered out a small "fine". Letting him go, Lucy backed away from him watching him closely to see if he will try anything. Keeping his back to Lucy, Natsu looked at the floor embarrassed that she was beaten so easily.

"You're injured" looking over his shoulder Natsu saw Lucy staring at his now ruined vest and bloody back. "You need to go to the infirmary before that gets infected." Lucy looked in Natsu's eyes a sudden seriousness in them. "Mira take Natsu to the infirmary and clean him up, while we clean up the bar" Master commanded now stood behind Natsu examining his injuries.

"Master please let me clean the bar, I'm the one who caused the damages so it is my responsibility" Lucy exclaimed.

"Alright, if you are up for the job. I'll be in my office if you need me." jumping onto the second Makarvo left to his office as Mira toke Natsu to the infirmary. With the end of the conversation every went back to talking as of nothing happened, raising Lucy looked at the burnt bar and sighed, walking towards it examining the mess Lucy went and got a broom sweeping up the glass littering the back of the bar.

Natsu's POV

"Thanks Mira, for patching me up."

"No problem Natsu" I watched as Mira put alway the First aid kit. My feet almost touching the ground from the white sheeted bed that was apart of the infirmary. Hopping down I landed without a sound, slightly proud of my ninja skills.

"You know, I don't understand why you and Lucy don't get along. She's such a nice and well mannered girl, but still has that spark in her you know, I thought you a her will be best friends." Turning to look at me, Mira sighed.

'Me and Lucy friends how can I be friends with such a weirdo' I guess I had a funny look on my face cause Mira just sighed again and walked towards the door. "I'm not saying you have to be the best of friends but can you at less try and get along, cause I don't want destroying the bar to become a daily thing." Mira's back was still turned to me as she spoke and as I followed her down the corridor back to the main guild area. It's not like I hate her it's just I feel like she's hiding something and I don't like it. Besides she does nothing all day and she speaks and acts weird, she must of picked it up from when she had to work at Blue Pegause. I can never see us getting along my be she can be friends with Gray they seem perfect for each other as their both equally annoying...no wait to Gray. Gray is to stupid to be around Lucy, she's to strong for him.

I can't believe she bet me, were did she get all that strength from maybe thats why she's so fat. But that doesn't matter I'm going to bet her if it's the last thing I do.

Laugher and the familiar sounds of the guild brought me back to life as I walked in to the main guild area and it was a sight I've never seen before. The whole guild was surround one table, all the adults had mugs of funny juice in the hands and everyone was Laughing? Walking closer to the table I realised it was the table I was sitting at earlier but this time my seat was taken by none other than Lucy. Sitting in the middle of Ezra and Levy, everyone was leaning in close to the story she was telling.

"Okay, okay. So I walk into phantom lord which is this big dark castle, when I walk in im wearing my black cloak and since this place is so dark and gloomy no one notices me. I walk straight up to the bar and ask the bartender for a drink, this guy next story me looks at me and asks 'who are you a new member or something'. At first I ignore him and drink my drink but after a while he gets annoyed and grabs me by the shoulder and turns me around to look at him he goes 'hey I'm talking to you' and throws my drink on the floor. Lets just say I have a bit of a short fuse and head-butted him knocking him into the person behind him which lead to a agrument then a brawl, so while this is happening I jump over the bar and take all their alcohol. When I'm about to leave I notice the guilds insignia above the door, so I go up and take. Just as I got it down the guild master walks in to See what the noise was about and when he did he made me slip and I screamed as I was hanging on to the insignia stopping the brawl. They all looked up to look at me dangling from the doorway trying to steak the guilds insignia and just my luck there was this loud cracking nosie then me and the insignia fell to the floor. I guess everyone was in a state of shock giving me time to grab the insignia and run. I ran away holding this insignia that was bigger then me and a the whole guild chasing me." Listing to her story and she the smile on her face let me see the spark that Mira was talking about .

"Was that the first guild you robbed" Levy asked turning to looh at her Lucy seemed to smile even harder.

"Yep, and that chase led me to steal from the other guilds." Lucy replied as if it's the most normal thing in the world and for some reason that annoyed me.

"Oh come on, is it just me or are we forgetting that she is a criminal?" Turning to look at me Lucy raised one of her eyebrows, 'cute' wait what.

"Hey, I didn't mean to. The only reason I did it was because I had no idea when I would come back to Fiore so I guess I wanted some souvenir." Not come back to Fiore where would see be, opening my to ask that question but someone ,cough' Levy 'cough, net me to it.

"Not return to Fiore? Why not where would you be?" I could see concern flash in Levy's eyes. 'She cares about Lucy, why for all I know this is the first time they talked'?

"Oh umm... I am trained by my teachers on an island off the coast of Fiore so two years ago was my first time in Fiore." Lucy replied and right away I knew it was a lie, the way her heartbeat increased is how I knew. Why was I listening to her heartbeat cause I don't know I was only pay attention to her talk and picked it up.

I watched as the guild members asked her questions and got to know her better, everyone seemed to like her. But by as she talked I grew to understand why I don't like her. It's because she lies and when she does it's hard to detect, she's good at it and that makes me uncomfortable.

What is she hiding? I got to know cause, I feel like something big is going to happen and I don't know if it will bring us good...

or bring us something we can't save ourselves from
