Chapter 12. The Job
Lucy P.O.V.
Lucy was half awake, in the stage where you're awake, but you could go back to sleep easily and you're not really focusing on anything. She was next to Igneel, and she rolled over to hug him, but he wasn't there. Instead there was a human body in his place. Gasping, she sat bolt upright and looked around. She was in her apartment, Natsu having his arm loosely around her. Wendy was right next to her, Gajeel hugging her like a teddy bear. Remembering why they were there, she let a few tears fall before panicking.
"UP! EVERYONE UP!" She yelled, running around. She grabbed clothes for herself and called out Virgo and Capricorn to get clothes for Wendy and the boys, from their own houses. Then, she screamed out,
"WHERE'S THE EGG?! AND SKYLARIN?!" She pointed a finger at the other slayers. They looked like fishes.
"The egg! Grandine's and Igneel's!" She explained. Wendy stepped forward.
"There's an egg?" She whispered. Lucy nodded, and grabbed all of them. Activating 'Comet', she ran to the guild and was there in a flash.
"That's how you got away so quickly," Gajeel muttered. Lucy ignored him and kicked the door open.
"Where. Is. The. Egg." She demanded, casting a glare at everyone in the room. Immediately, Juvia ran forward holding Skylarin and the smoky egg. Lucy sighed with overwhelming relief.
"Thank Mavis," she muttered, clutching the egg and Skylarin.
"Lucy? How did ya get that?" Gray asked. Lucy smiled dreamily, eyes glazing over.
"Grandine wanted me to take care of it," Lucy smiled brighter.
"But you guys should take care of it, you didn't have them as long as I did," her smile was small, brown eyes shining. Wendy walked up and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"No Lucy-San, it was Grandeeny's last wish for you to take care of it," Wendy smiled. Natsu grinned, and Gajeel nodded. She nodded happily and sat at the bar, ordering a large breakfast. Suddenly, a bright flash of colors flared around her neck. She looked down, and next to her heart shaped necklace was a leather strip with twelve scales and Viviana's necklace's charm. Lucy's eyes watered with tears, but she thought she had cried enough.
"Thanks for the gift guys," she murmured. She looked to Natsu, Wendy, and Gajeel who had necklaces with one scale from each of their dragons. She smiled and started to dig into her breakfast.
"Hey Lucy!" Natsu called. He slid into the seat next to her, and very indiscreetly shoved a piece of pancake in his mouth.
"Wa'a go o' a 'ob?" he asked, mouth full of food. Lucy barely understood him. Luckily, Mira did.
"He said, 'Wanna go on a job?'" She smiled. Natsu nodded, giving her a thumbs up.
"Sure Natsu! What one should we do?" Lucy smiled. He ran over to the board, thumb on his chin.
"Hmm, how 'bout this one Lucy?" He pointed. It said
Please defeat a dark guild! They have been destroying the town and also taking money foods and kids!
Place: Juno Town
Reward: 210,000J
"Sounds good Natsu! Shouldn't be too hard," she gave him a thumbs up and ripped the request off the board. Handing it to Mira, she started to walk out to go pack.
"Lucy! Wait!" Natsu called. She turned, wondering what he wanted.
"What are ya gonna name the dragon?" He asked hungrily. Lucy smirked.
"Kemuri! Grandine said to. She thought it was a smoke dragon," She explained. "I have to go pack, I'll meet you at the train station in two hours?" Lucy asked, but at the mention of trains, his face paled.
"Okay," he said.
"Sorry about your motion sickness Natsu!" She waved and bounded out of the guild. But not before a chair hit her back. She turned around furiously.
"WHO THREW THAT?!" She roared. All eyes flickered to the two teens fighting: Gray and Natsu. Once Lucy found out, she slowly walked over to them, but they didn't notice as the guild waited with anxiety and silent laughs. Only did they notice Lucy when she was standing over them. Then, she leapt.
Hope your excited for the job! See ya later!
