*Lucy's POV*

It's been a week since I joined Fairytale...everyone is so nice and maybe a little crazy. Natsu and Happy keep barging into my apartment. I hope it doesn't become a habit. Oh I almost forgot to mention I got a new spirit. He's a Nikora, and he is the sweetest thing. I named him Plue. He reminds me of when you were taking care of someone else's Nikora back when I was little Mom. He even shivers like him, must be a trait all Nikora have in common. I really miss you Mom… maybe one day I'll go back to see you...I just fear that if I do...Dad'll try to make me go through with his arranged marriage to that Duke or-

I'm pulled from my thoughts by Natsu and Happy crashing through my window.

"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO?! CAN'T YOU JUST USE THE DOOR LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE?!"

"Wow, Lucy your really loud in the mornings."

"Shut it CAT. And you better stop breaking into my house or else I swear I'll-"

"Hey Happy do you smell that? What are you making Luce it smells good."

"ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?!"

I chase after them for most of my morning before eventually finding myself at the guild...did I really just chase Natsu and Happy all around town...people are really gonna start thinking I'm scary or dangerous. I make my way up to the bar and grab a strawberry milkshake from Mira, she can tell by the look on my face that I had a rough morning.

Once I've finished and had seemed to have calmed down, Natsu practically flies over to me with Happy all excited about some mission. Before I could even comprehend what was going on he had gotten the mission approved, grabbed my arm, and dashed out of the guild hall dragging me behind him. HOW DOES HE HAVE THIS MUCH ENERGY AFTER I LITERALLY CHASED HIM ALL AROUND THE CITY THIS MORNING?! IS THAT FIRE ON THE ROAD?!

"NATSU!" Was the only thing I could scream during all of this.

*Laxus's POV*

I was sitting at the bar while the rest of my team fought over what job we were gonna take. I didn't care honestly just wanted to take a break. I looked to my side and noticed someone else was also having a rough day. It was that new chick...what was her name? Eh who cares not like it would make a difference if I knew anyhow.

Eventually Natsu came running over all excited like, its clear he'll never stop being an overgrown kid. I notice he had some job in his hands that had something to with a book. I shake my head and laugh. It's clear he only looked at the award like he usually does. Mira walks over and approves it, once she does Natsu doesn't give the poor newbie a chance to even think before he drags her off into some kind of trouble. Well at least he's not trying to fight me like usual.

"They have so much energy."

"Yeah, reminds me of us when we were younger."

"Yeah, you really let yourself go Macao."

"Aw shut it Wakaba."

I roll my eyes at their conversation, just two old folks gripping about their lost youth. I wave Mira over and get a quick beer. She hands me my usual and I close my eyes in thought. Mira coughs for some reason. I decide to ignore it before she bangs on the counter.

"What is it Mira?"

"You really shouldn't keep drinking your sorrows Laxus."

"I'm not drinking my sorrows, I'm thinking."

"Every morning your at the guildhall?"

"I like to ponder-"

"Nope, I think you should move on. You don't see me sulking every second of the day."

"That's because you have Elfman to mourn with-"

"You have Master."

"You know I don't like talking to Gramps more than I half to."

"That's still no excuse. I want you to go outside and enjoy the day. No missions, take a teammate if you want but go and relax...maybe visit her...you haven't gone to see her in years-"

"I'm good Mira, I don't want to do anything today, except grab a job and drink this beer in peace."

"What happened to the nice guy I used to know who cared about his sister?"

"He died the same day she did."

Before this could escalate any further I stand up and slam my beer on the counter.

"Lets go." I call for my team before heading out the doors.

"OH AND LAXUS," Mira calls to me from behind, I turn my head only for a bouquet of flowers to hit my face.

"Give these to her, she always loved cherry blossoms and the huge festival." Mira smiles toward me before continuing her work. That women knows just how to push my buttons. I shake my head and take the flowers with me. Maybe I will go visit her...make up for old times sake.

Bruh, I didn't know you could copy and paste chapters on here! What is this new age of enlightenment? Don't at me it's been 3 years since I've posted a chapter.
