Kaby Melon was a familiar name among the wealthy people. In fact the Melon name came into existence a decade ago when noble families were being introduced among the older and wealthier families in Fiore providence. Lucy and her father were one of the families that attended the event back then. Who would have ever thought that she was going to see Mr. Melon again? Only this time he was going to meet a nobody rather than a noble person.

"This is for the better," Lucy reassured herself as she stepped on the last step of the front door. To find Mr. Melon's estate was no problem. The people of Magnolia knew where he lived. The shocker came from finding little security in his expensive home. For a moment Lucy had to do a double take to make sure she found the right place.

"It's too late to turn back now." She lifted and curled her fingers until they formed a fist. She tapped lightly on the door after seeing no doorbell. "Maybe no one will hear me and I can go back to Fairy Tail and pummel Natsu into telling me more about the job he was given."

Her knock was barely audible. Just as she was about to give up and turn tail, the door opened to reveal a slender woman wearing a long and tight black dress.

"May I help you?" The woman addressed Lucy.

She smiled tightly, hoping she didn't chicken out at the last moment. It felt weird for her to be associating with rich families once again.

"Yes, my name is Celestia Moonright and I'm here to find out more about the job Mr. Melon requested Fairy Tail to complete."

The woman's dark eyebrows drew together as she examined Lucy. "You don't have the paper?"

Lucy stuttered in her laugh while she rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. "Well, you see the paper didn't give enough information..."

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. Please come in," the lady said as she invited Lucy into the Melon residence.

"Thank you," Lucy answered her. Her lady etiquette came back in full force as she curtsied. Then she made her way into a grand sitting room. There was a man dressed in a business suit who sat on the couch. He was in the midst of reading a Magnolia newspaper when he looked up. His eyes widened at the sight of Lucy.

For a brief moment, Lucy paused wondering if the man known as Kaby Melon recognized her as Lucy Heartfelia. When he stood up and bowed to her, she found she could breathe again.

"Honey, this is Celestia Moonright from Fairy Tail. She came to learn more about DayBreak."

"DayBreak?" Lucy questioned.

"Yes, it's the book I want retrieved and destroyed. In fact, I increased the reward from two hundred thousand jewels to twenty golden coins."

Lucy's eyes widened in shock from the sudden turn of events. High paying jobs usually went to S-Class wizards. Golden coins were equivalent to millions of jewels. Only the noble families and wealthy people possessed golden coins. Golden coins were made from real gold. She was fortunate to have some because she found a pouch in the forest.

"That's quite a large reward for a regular job."

"I have my reasons," the man answered.

"And if you don't mind telling me, why do you want DayBreak destroyed?"

"It's a type of book that brings back painful memories." The man took a seat as he indicated for Lucy to do the same. The woman who greeted her took a seat by his side.

"My apologies, will you like something to eat or drink?"

"I'm good," Lucy said. "You wouldn't mind telling more about DayBreak?"

The book had a strange title, one she never heard before. For Mr. Melon to want to get rid of the book must have been a big deal.

"DayBreak was written by my father. It's one of the worst books ever made and it's a huge disgrace compare to the other books my father wrote. I need that book found and destroyed. Then I can find some peace."

"But don't you think that it is...?"

Lucy never got to finish ask her question because Mr. Melon gave her a crazy look. Apparently, there was no room to broach the subject of destroying the book. And then she remembered the other reward that was promised with the book.

"Is there by any chance a promise of a golden celestial key?"

The man frowned before something dawned on him.

"The person who has DayBreak has a golden key. In fact, he's a celestial wizard."

Lucy crossed her arms over her ample chest. Her glasses glinted from the sunlight peering through the large windows.

"Isn't that giving false information?"

The man fumbled for the right words. His wife rescued him.

"You have to understand that Mr. Everlue employed my husband's father until his last moments. The man refuses to give us DayBreak and because of this, we hope someone can get the book."

"But doesn't that mean you promise something of value if you don't have it?"

"You will get it," the woman promised. "The Magic Council is after him because he is a celestial wizard. If they get their hands on him, he's going to have to give up his keys. That means whatever he gives up is what you get. Just be there when the Magic Council comes to collect him."

Facing the Magic Council wasn't a good idea, especially since Lucy was going by a false name. If the Magic Council discovered her, she would be detained and questioned by them. Celestia Moonright was a name that couldn't be found in their records.

Unfortunately, she needed her clients to think everything was going well with the job. "Sure thing," she agreed.

"Then everything is settled," Mr. Melon said with a small smile tugging on the corner of his lips. He got up from his seat to retrieve a small piece of paper. He extended the slip of paper for Lucy to take it.

"This has Duke Everlue's address on it. Currently, he is staying on the outskirts of Magnolia, near Hydra Inn."

Lucy had been in Hydra Inn when she first entered Magnolia. She had a good idea of where to locate Mr. Everlue's residence. However, she was astonished to know that Mr. Everlue stayed near the dark forest. Demons lurked close to his home.

"Thank you," she said. She took the paper from his grasp.

"No, we should be thanking you. We will finally be at peace," the man said as he bowed low to her.

She curtsied one last time before taking her leave. Once she made it outside, she slipped the paper in her pocket and waited until she was completely alone. There was a flash of light from next to her and Capricorn was strolling beside her.

"Do you think it's a good idea to pursue the golden key now that we know Duke Everlue is a celestial wizard?" he asked.

"Do we have another choice?" she returned his question with another question.

"Maybe we can get the key another way."

"Either way we still need Natsu's approval to get into Fairy Tail and it wouldn't look good if we ditch him now."

Capricorn nodded his head. "Try to be careful when the Magic Council appears to take the celestial wizard away."

"Easier said than done," she warned him. Maybe if Lucy could down play her part in obtaining DayBreak and make Natsu do the rest of the work, he would be the one to deal with the Magic Council. Plus, he was already an official member of Fairy Tail. They would need his signature before they detained Mr. Everlue for whatever reason.

"There's something I don't get." Lucy said as an afterthought.

"What is it?"

"Why is the Magic Council looking for celestial wizards?"

"Do you think they're trying to protect them?"

"Or is there something more in the role of being a celestial wizard?"

"If there is, you already know why we need all twelve of the keys."

Lucy didn't say anything. They were almost within the city perimeters, which meant that Capricorn had to return to the Celestial World before he was discovered by Natsu. And she knew the fire dragon slayer was going to meet up with her very soon. She did say she was going to wait in Fairy Tail for him.

As if taking his cue, Capricorn disappeared. Lucy walked onward for a couple more minutes before she saw a familiar silhouette waiting for her in the distance. She closed the distance between herself and the figure to see that she was right. Natsu lounged against a tree with his hands folded behind his head. He smirked at her as he untangled his long limbs.

"How did everything go at Mr. Melon's place?" he asked .

"Everything went well, thank you very much."

"So you found out enough information for us to get started on our job?"

"Yes, and I say let's begin now."

"All right, you lead the way." And that's exactly what Lucy did.

Here's another chapter. Do you like it so far? Or do you not like it? We are putting twists if you noticed but there will be major differences from the anime. You will see those major differences in time. Thank you for reading. Until next time.
