Author's POV

"Huh?" Lucy mumbled rubbing her left eye,

"What just happened?" Lucy asked sitting up, a small yawn passed her lips.

"It was probably Mystogun." Jet said,

"Mystogun?" Lucy questioned,

"One of the strongest guys in the guild. He's an S-Class like Chaos." Levy said sitting beside Lucy,

"And nobody's ever seen his face. He puts everyone to sleep, takes a request, then leave." Droy said.

"Only Master's seen him." Jet said,

"That's kinda creepy, don't ya think?" Lucy murmured with a shiver running up her spine and it wasn't a good one.

"I've seen him." A blonde male said, from the upstairs.

"Laxus!?" Max shouted,

"You were here!!" Someone shouted,

"We hardly ever see you!!"

"Laxus? That's the guy Natsu turned into, right Happy?" Lucy asked Happy,

"Aye!!" Happy said, flying into Lucy's arms.

"And your the girl who changed Chaos." Laxus said looking at Lucy,

"I didn't change him, for your information. I became his friend." Lucy sighed rolling her eyes.

"Hah? Let's see about that." Laxus snickered. He teleported, using his lightning, in front of Lucy and threw a punch.

But instead of hitting Lucy, it hit the table. Natsu had already picked up Lucy, bridal style, and seated her at a different table. He walked back to Laxus and stopped a couple inches away from him, a deadly glare present on his face.

"What's up with you? Angry I'm gonna hurt your new friend." Laxus laughed.

Natsu didn't say anything, he just threw a deadly glare at Laxus and everyone saw that Laxus had flinched.

"Don't provoke him, Laxus. He beat you once he could do it again." Master said looking their way.

"Who says he could beat me, old man? Just because he beat us back then doesn't mean he could beat us now. As far as I see it, you guys are just afraid that he beats your asses again, when you guys could probably beat him now." Laxus said.

The guild erupted in whispers and mumurs.

"If you think your so high and mighty why don't you fight him yourself?" Lucy said standing at Natsu's side with a pissed look just as scary as Mira's and Erza's.

"You know what? I'm not gonna deal with people like you." Lucy sighed though she was still pissed.

"I'm leaving. If ya need me I'll be at my apartment." Lucy said walking out the guild while waving.


"Stupid asshole!" Lucy screamed throwing her pillow across the room.

"Calm down." Natsu said climbing through her window,

"Don't act like your not pissed." Lucy said throwing a glare his way,

"Of course I'm not pissed, there's no reason to be pissed after someone who's only talk." Natsu said sitting on her bed.

She looked at him before letting out a sigh. She sat beside him, resting her head on his shoulder.

"Why don't we go on a job? It'll take your mind off him." Natsu suggested,

"I don't see why not." Lucy sighed getting up.

"Let's leave tomorrow, though. I'm tired." She said walking to her bathroom.

Natsu nodded just before she went in. After a while, Happy flew through Lucy's window with a request in hand.

"Look Natsu!" Happy said handing him the request.

"Thanks buddy." Natsu said with a small smile petting Happy's head.

He read over the request, looking at the reward especially.

S-CLASS MISSION

HELP US!!

OUR ISLAND IS UNDER A TERRIBLE CURSE! WE NEED YOUR HELP! PLEASE COME SAVE US!!

REWARD: 7,000,000 J One Golden Key

Is what the request read. 'Lucy wouldn't want to go if she knew the island was cursed.' Natsu thought with furrowed eyebrows.

'I can persuade her with the reward though.' Natsu thought with a smirk.

Lucy walked out the bathroom with a towel around her body, hugging her curves and a towel in her hands drying her hair.

"You already found a job?" Lucy questioned walking over to them.

"Lushy, you're naked." Happy sweat dropped,

"I have on a towel, stupid cat." Lucy said sending a glare at Happy, "Besides I trust you and Na-kun." She said with a small smile.

Just when Natsu was gonna tell her about the request there was a knock at the door. Lucy got up and walked out her room to the door, Natsu and Happy following after her. Lucy tiptoed and looked through the peephole.

She opened the door and was met with a wide eyed Erza and a blushing Gray. She querked and eyebrow at them.

"What are you guys doing here?" Lucy asked with her arms folded and leaning against the door frame.

When she did this they realised Natsu was in there sitting on her couch. Even though he wasn't looking at them, they knew he was listening.

"You guys can't talk since I'm in a towel?" Lucy giggled,

"Wait, on the couch. I'll go get dressed." Lucy smiled letting them in.

Once they were inside, Lucy shut and locked her front door. She left to her bedroom but just before she closed her bedroom door she said, "Why don't you guys catch up with Na-kun? You guys might actually have somethings in common." She smiled.

After she left it was kinda awkward and quiet. Well, except for purrs from Happy, since Natsu was scratching under his chin.

"I know something you all have in common!!" Happy shouted happily,

"What is it Happy?" Erza asked, now intrigued to see what the cat will say.

"All of you care for Lushy!" Happy cheered proudly,

"I'm not sure Cha-" Gray started but was interrupted by Natsu.

"I care about everyone in the guild." Natsu said simply. It surprised Erza and Gray more than you know. They wouldn't have believed it, if they hadn't heard him say it himself. Happy just had a smug look on his face and then a mischievous grin.

"I bet you care about her more though." Happy chuckled mischievously.

"What are you getting at cat?" Lucy asked with a hard glare gripping Happy's ear roughly.

After getting dressed she came out to hear Natsu say he cared about everyone in the guild. Then Happy just had to ruin the moment, which made her inwardly face palm. But when she heard Happy say that Natsu cared about her more than anyone else, her face was darker than Erza's hair.

"Are you blushing Lushy?" Happy giggled flying out of her grip.

"I-I'm not!" She defended, her face growing darker.

"She liiiiiiikes him~" Happy said in a singsong voice.

"Stupid cat!!" Lucy screamed. She ran after Happy, who was flying away from her.

"Natsu!! Save me!!" Happy shouted, crying anime tears.

Natsu chuckled at his two friends. When Lucy was running past him, he grabbed her arm, bringing her unto his lap.

Her face turned 50 shades of red at this point. She jumped off his lap and sat next to him.

"Just say what you guys are doing here before I embarrass myself." Lucy murmured looking to her left at Erza and Gray.

"We wanted to ask you if you wanted to go on a job." Erza said regaining her composure.

"Sorry, Na-kun was already gonna take me on one." Lucy sighed.

"They could come with us!! Right Natsu?" Happy suggested.

"If they don't do something stupid." Natsu shrugged.

"Then it's settled!!" Lucy giggled.

"Can I see the request?" Lucy asked.

Natsu gave her the request and Lucy read it over. She pouted at the request.

"Na-kun, I'm not an S-Class wizard." She pouted.

"I'm a S-Class wizard, Erza's a S-Class wizard and Gray is somewhat there." Natsu said.

"W-Well, I still can't go." Lucy stuttered.

"Why not, Lushy?" Happy asked.

"Is it because it's cursed?" Natsu asked, knowing that was the reason.

"N-No." Lucy stuttered looking away.

"Well, since you don't wanna go you can't get that gold key reward." Natsu sighed.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go on that mission!!" Lucy said jumping out of the couch.

Erza, Gray and Happy sweat dropped at how easy she was to bribe. Natsu chuckled at how weird she was being.
