Currently Lucy was in her new house drying herself off after taking a bath

Lucy: I'm so glad I found a nice place! It's pretty big for 70 grand. Plenty of storage space. Pure white walls, a wood sent, a slightly retro furnace, it even has a built in kitchen stove. And the best part of all is...

Natsu: Yo!

Lucy then saw Natsu sitting on her bed while happy was sitting on her desk both eating snacks and making a mess of the place.

Lucy: My bedroom!!! Why are you two even here!? Lucy exclaimed while kicking Natsu in his face

Natsu: Mira told us that you had decided on a place and...

Lucy: You heard so what!? Does that mean you can waltz on in!? Do you know that there are certain rules of politeness even among friends!? What you two did is called breaking and entering!! That's a crime!! This is a fine time to show your moral deficiencies!!

Natsu: Hey! Words like that can hurt.

Lucy: I'm the wounded party here!!

Happy: Nice place!

Lucy: Don't sharpen you claws on my place you feline freak!!

Natsu: Hmm what's this.

Natsu saw a stack of papers stapled together on Lucy's dresser and decided to go look at them.

Lucy: No!!!!

Lucy then snatched the papers from Natsu's hands before he could even look at them

Natsu. Now you've got me worried. What is it?

Lucy: Who cares what it is!! Why don't you just go home!?

Natsu: No! We came to have fun!

Lucy: I can't believe how selfish you are!!

Lucy got changed and ended up making some tea for the two and waited for them to drink it and go home.

Lucy: I just moved in, I haven't had time to get furniture. There's nothing fun here. So drink your tea and go home.

Natsu: She just has no heart huh?

Happy: Aye.

Lucy: Just because I said drink your tea and go home makes me heartless?

Natsu: Oh! I've got it! Why don't you show us all those key-guys you have.

Lucy: No way it uses a lot of my magic. Besides, they're not key-guys. They're celestial spirits.

Nastsu: How many celestial spirits do you have contracts with?

Lucy: Six. The silver keys are sold at magic shops. Horologium, the Time Piece constellation, Crux, the Southern Cross constellation, and Lyra, the Harp constellation. The gold keys open the gates called the 12 gates of the Zodiac. They're extremely rare keys. There's the Golden Bull constellation, Taurus. The Water Bearer constellation, Aquarius. The Great Crab constellation, Cancer.

Natsu: The Great Crab constellation!? You mean shellfish!?

Happy: Shellfish!

Lucy: Oh man they're going overboard on their reactions for no good reason. Now that you mention it I bought a key in Hargeon. Canis Minor constellation Nikora. But we don't have a contract yet. How's a good time. I'll let you see how a celestial wizard makes a contract with a celestial spirit.

Natsu: All right!

Happy: What happens if a contract goes into arrears!?

Natsu: A contract in your rear? That's gotta hurt.

Lucy: How did the conversation turn into rear ends? Arrears don't happen just watch. I am the one who creates to the celestial spirit world! You must answer and pass through your gate! Open, gate of Canis Minor, Nikora!!

After Lucy recited the chant she summoned a small snowman looking creature.

Natsu: I-I'm sure you can do better next time.

Lucy: This isn't a mistake!!

The snowman creature came over to Lucy and she started hugging it saying how cute it was. She then started her contract making and after a few minutes she was done. Natsu and happy were shocked at how easy it was to form a contract with a celestial spirit.

Natsu: Shouldn't it be more complicated?

Lucy: It may seem simple on the outside but it's an important process. To a celestial wizard, the contract in other words, the promise, is one of the most important things. You can be sure that I will never break a promise.

Natsu: Really?

Lucy: That's right. Now I have to give him a name.

Natsu: You mean it isn't Nikora?

Lucy: That's just a general name for his type. Hmm...I got it! Come here Plue!!

Happy: Plue?

Lucy: I just think the name feels cute! Right Plue.

Plue: Puun!

Happy: Since Plue is Canis Minor, the small dog, I'd have expected him to bark. It's odd.

Lucy: Well I don't hear you meowing either.

Suddenly Plue started moving in multiple movements as in a form of communication.

Natsu: Umm...

Natsu: Plue I have to agree with everything you said!!

Lucy: You understood him!?

Natsu: Celestial spirits huh!? If I really think about it you're a weirdo, but your a trustworthy and good person. I see...

Lucy: Wh-what do you see?

Happy: Natsu what is it?

Natsu: Ok it's decided. I agree with what Plue suggested. Let's all form up as one team.

Lucy: Team?

Happy: That makes sense! Aye! Everyone in the guild is part of the same group. And people who get along especially well organize into smaller teams. A job that may be too difficult for one might be much easier for a team.

Lucy: Hey, that's a good idea! Sounds like fun!!

Natsu: Yes! It's decided!

Lucy: We have a contract huh?

Happy: Aye!

Lucy: They make fun of me, but they've accepted my value as a wizard. Now I just need Marcus to accept me like these guy have. Maybe I can ask Mira after this job why Marcus is so cold to me.

Natsu: And right off the bat, we have a job! See? It's all set!

Lucy: Oh? Your so impatient!

Lucy then took the job request that Natsu had placed on her table and started to read it.

Lucy: In Shirotsume town... i may have heard of it... maybe not...you're kidding!! If we get a book out of the mansion of Duke Everlue, we get 200,000?!

Happy: See a juicy job huh?

Lucy: Huh? Oh dear...

Duke Everlue

Warning: he's a famous womanizer, lecher, and pervert. He is presently searching for a new blonde maid!

Natsu: And Lucy's blonde huh?

Happy: True! She can sneak into the mansion in a maid costume.

Lucy: You planned this from the start...and I fell for it!!!

Natsu: And a celestial wizard always keeps her promises. How admirable.

Lucy: This is awful!! You tricked me that's so low!!

Natsu: Well shall we be off?

Lucy: I'm not going as a maid! You hear me!?

Natsu: Just for practice, you understand. Just look at happy and say, "yes master!"

Lucy: Especially not for a cat!

Meanwhile back at fairy tail Levy's team was at the job request board looking for the job that Natsu had just recently picked up.

Jet: Huh? That ad for 200,000 for doing Duke Everlue's mansion...somebody's taken it?

Droy: Yes Natsu is off to invite Lucy along.

Levy: Aww! I only hesitated for a few minutes.

Makarov: Levy, you may be happy that you're not going.

MiraJane: Ah! Master Makarov!

Makarov: That job may turn out to be more trouble than it's worth. Just now I received word from the sponsor.

Levy: He wants to cancel?

Makarov: No. He's up the reward to two million. That's what he said.

Levy: Ten times the amount!? Two million for just one book!?

Jet: Wh-why would he do that all of a sudden?

Droy: That's the type of reward they give for military action! What's going on with that!?

Levy: Tsk!! We just passed up a great-sounding job!!

Marcus: It looks like that job has just gotten much more interesting

Meanwhile Natsu, Lucy, and Happy are in a carriage that is heading towards the clients home and Natsu is not feeling to well...

Lucy: How are you enjoying your ride in this horse drawn carriage master?

Natsu: I have maid my own hell... natsu said while trying to keep himself from throwing up

Happy: I'm the only master here!

Lucy: Shut up cat!!

Lucy: Now that I think of it, it's a very simple job.

Happy: Really you were against it a while ago. Now your for it?

Lucy: Of course!! After all it's my very first job. I want to do it right! So all we have to do is enter the mansion and carry off the book right?

Happy: Yeah. Infiltrate the old man's mansion...

Lucy: Exactly the old man!! You may not know it but I'm pretty confident when it comes to my sex appeal.

Happy: I'm just a cat so I wouldn't know.

Lucy: Let's get one thing straight since you two aren't going to do anything the reward split should be 80%, 10%, 10%.

Happy: You only want 10%?

Lucy: I'm the 80!!

Natsu, Lucy, and happy finally arrived at Shirotsume Town. They started to walk it's streets looking at the sights. At least Happy and Lucy were Natsu was still recovering from his motion sickness.

Natsu: Let's get something to eat I'm hungry.

Lucy: Why don't you eat your own fire.

Natsu: Oh that's a great idea. Why don't you eat Plue or another one your spirits while your at it.

Lucy: I'd never do that!!

Natsu: That's the same thing with my fire. Eating my fire is like eating myself. My fire is apart of me and your spirits are apart of you. You wouldn't eat something that's apart of you would you?

Lucy: Well no. When did you become so smart?

Natsu: I have my moments.

Happy: He has his moments.

Natsu sees a restaurant and points to it

Natsu: Hey! Let's go there!

Lucy: You two go on ahead.

Lucy then walks away to do her own thing

Natsu: What's with her teams should eat together. It's better that way.

Happy: Aye.

After Natsu went inside the restaurant they ordered their food. Once they had gotten their food they started eating like the maniacs they are.

Natsu: Too bad Lucy isn't here to enjoy this awesome food with us! I know let's save the fatty parts for her

Happy: That does seem like her favorite type of food

Lucy: Since when did it ever look like I like fatty foods? Sure I have big boobs but I'm not fat in my waist. You two should be the ones worried about getting fat from the stuff you eat. Also it's true I look cute in anything don't I? Have you finished you meal yet masters?

Natsu and happy then looked at Lucy with their mouth open shocked and started whispering to each other.

Happy: What are we going to do? We were just kidding about the maid costume but she went and took it seriously.

Natsu: We can't tell her anything let's just save her the embarrassment. She'd be a good decoy right

Happy: Aye.

Lucy: I can hear you!

After they finished eating they started walking towards the clients house. One they got there they noticed how it looked like a mansion. It may very well have been one considering how big it was.

Lucy: That's a pretty impressive mansion! Is this where Duke Everlue lives?

Natsu: No this is where we meet the client.

Lucy: I see...if he's willing to pay 200,000 for just one book than he must be pretty rich.

Natsu went up to the door and knocked on it to see if they could enter.

Woman: Who might you be?

Natsu: I'm from the fairy tail wizard guild-

Woman: Shh! Keep your voice down! Forgive my rudeness but could you enter via the back door?

After they entered the mansion they were greeted by two people. One was an elderly man with a business suit on while the woman next to him they found out was his wife. The man introduced himself as Kaby Melon. This shocked Natsu and happy.

Happy: Melon!?

Natsu: You have a tasty name mister!

Lucy: Stop being rude you guys.

Melon: Haha that's quite all right I'm used to it by now.

Kaby then directed Natsu, Lucy, and happy to the couch so they could sit down. Kaby sat in a chair facing across from them with a table in between them.

Lucy: Melon...I've heard that name before. I felt the same way about the name of the town.

Melon: I never imagined a wizard from the famed fairy tail guild would take up my offer...

Natsu: Really? I was surprised that such a good job was left on the board as long as it was.

Lucy: The job and pay don't match. There's got to be some catch somewhere.

Melon: Your so young, no doubt you've become famous in your own right but...

Natsu: They call me Natsu the salamander.

Melon: Oh! That's the name I've heard before. And you are...

Lucy: I'm a fairy tail wizard too!!

Melon: So your clothes are a hobby of yours? No need to answer. Never mind.

Lucy: I think I want to go home.

Melon: Now, shall we talk about the job?

Natsu: Yes!

Happy: Aye!

Melon: I am only requesting one thing. To obtain a one-of-a-kind book that is in Duke Everlue's possession. Daybreak and to burn or otherwise destroy it.

Lucy: You don't want it stolen for you?

Melon: I suppose in reality obtaining someone else's property without compensation and destroying it, is very much the same thing as stealing but-

Lucy: I'm surprised. I thought for sure this would be a question of returning a book previously stolen from you.

Natsu: Burn it huh? Then all we have to do is burn the entire mansion down!

Happy: Aye!

Lucy: Nooo!! That'd make us criminals and I'm to pretty to go to jail!!

Natsu:So what exactly is this book?

Lucy: Who cares what it is!! We're talking 200,000 here!!

Melon: No we aren't. I will pay two million. The compensation for the mission is two million.

Lucy: What the...two million!?

Natsu: What the hell old man!? Why'd you have to go and bump it up so much!? That's an insane amount of money for just one measly book!!

Happy: That could buy me a lifetime of fish...

Melon: Oh, dear. You arrived not knowing the price had gone up.

Natsu: Wait a second, two million split three ways, that comes to...ahhh! It's too much for my brain to process!!

Happy: It's simple. I get one million, you get one million, and Lucy gets the rest.

Lucy: There's no "rest" after that!!

Melon: Come, come everyone. Calm down.

Lucy: So why exactly did you bump it up to two million?

Melon: Because that is exactly how much I want that book destroyed. I cannot allow that book to stay in existence.

Natsu: Woahhhhhh!!! Come on Lucy I'm fired up now!!

Lucy: W-wait a second!! Can't allow that book to stay in existence? What does that mean?

Wife: Dear, do you really think it's alright to send those children to do this job? We've already had a team from a different guild fail the mission once. Even if it was just an attempt, from Duke Everlue's perspective thieves broke into his mansion. It's only natural that he'd increase his guard. So now it'll be even harder to get into his mansion.

Melon: I know all that, I know but still...that book is the one thing that I must erase from this world!!

The trio had finally made it to Duke Everlue's mansion and Lucy was standing in front of the door while Natsu and happy held back.

Lucy: Excuse me! I heard that you might be looking for a blonde maid? Excuse me! Is anybody in there?

Lucy's thoughts: Haha! This is all to easy. All I have to do is look cute to this Duke Everlue guy. Then find the book, burn it, and collect a clean two million. But what will I buy with the money?

Natsu: You got this Lucy

Happy: Don't screw up!

Lucy: Shut up cat!

Suddenly a massively large gorilla looking maid shot out from underneath the ground and stared at Lucy shocking her.

Lucy: What the!?

Gorilla maid: You want to be a maid? She says she saw your ad and came looking for a job, master.

Suddenly a strange looking man appeared beside Lucy from underneath the ground just like the maid before him did.

Duke Everlue: You called?

Lucy: That's the Duke!?

Duke Everlue: Let me see...

Lucy: Hope you like what you see.

Lucy's thoughts: I'm breaking out into goosebumps! I have to hang in there! Damn you cat for making me more nervous than I already am!

Duke Everlue: Don't want you. Go home...ugly.

Lucy: Wha!? Why you little-

Gorilla maid: You heard him missy. Now sho ugly!

Duke Everlue: For someone as important and fabulous as myself only the most beautiful of women will do.

Again more strange looking women popped up from underneath the ground and swarmed the Duke and started praising him.

Lucy: Wha- what's going on here!?

Lucy was now sitting under a tree with Natsu and happy standing in front of her.

Natsu: You sucked.

Lucy: It's not my fault! That Everlue creep has that wired idea of what beauty is! You saw them too didn't you!? This gorilla maid!?

Natsu: Is that your excuse for sucking?

Lucy: Gahhh! This sucks!

Happy: If that's the case then it's time to change to plan C!

Natsu: C for charge!

Lucy: That old man did something unforgivable!

Natsu: Really he did? The only thing I saw him do was damage your ego.

Lucy: Shut up! Also can charging head first into an unknown location really be called a plan?

Natsu: It's better than calling someone damaging your ego unforgivable.

Lucy: Shut up! Let's get this mission over with!

Meanwhile inside the mansion Everlue was sitting in a chair while smoking a cigar. Two mysterious figures stood behind him and one of them began to speak.

Figure 1: It looks like the wizards haven't learned their lesson, and more have come. And by the mark on her arm, this time they're from fairy tail.

Duke Everlue: It was idiocy not to hide her mark. But if they were going to use a girl, they should have brought me a pretty one!

Figure 2: Now, the thing we need to consider is just how we're going to kill the wizards this time.

Duke Everlue: Hahaha!!

Currently Natsu, Happy, and Lucy are on the roof of the mansion. Natsu is looking through a window on the roof while complaining about being sneaky

Natsu: I don't see why we have to sneak in like this

Lucy: Why else? This may be a paid mission but we're pretty much acting like thieves.

Natsu: The C from plan C was for charge! We're supposed to storm the gate and blast anyone who gets in our way. Then burn the book

Lucy: No! Like I said we're not doing it that way! I don't know what kind of bandit fighting or monster fighting jobs you've taken in the past but this time, our target is the authority in this town. He may be an annoying, tasteless, dirty old man with no eye for beauty, but he's not a villain. One slip and we'll bring an entire army down on us.

Natsu: What's with you!? I heard the words he did something unforgivable come out of your own mouth!

Lucy: Yes! I'll never forgive him!! Not for that word he used!! So I won't stop with just burning the book! I'll do something to make him regret it!! I'll hide his shoes or something!!

Natsu: Woah that's pretty pathetic

Happy: Aye.

Lucy: Anyways we're not here to go on a rampage. No violence got it?

Natsu: Hmph

Lucy: And what's with that remark!? Lucy said while hitting natsu on his head

Natsu: You realize that your words and actions don't match right?

Natsu then used his fire powers to melt the glass on the window to create an opening so they could get inside

Lucy: So this is a storage room? Wonder what all this stuff is?

Happy: Natsu look! Happy said while putting on a small skull big enough for him

Natsu: Oh! That looks great on you, happy!

Lucy: I think we can get out through that door. Let's go. Carefully ok?

Happy: Hey, Lucy! Look!

Lucy: Shut up cat!

Natsu: Nobody's outside

Lucy: Take that thing off. It's creepy.

Natsu: Say Lucy you don't plan on searching one room at a time through the whole mansion like this, do you?

Lucy: Naturally.

Natsu: Wouldn't it just be faster to just grab someone and find out where the book is from them?

Happy: Aye!

Lucy: We're trying to accomplish the mission without being seen. You know, like ninjas. Cool, huh.

Natsu: N-ninjas?

Suddenly the maids from before jumped up from underneath the floor.

Maid 1: We've found the intruders!!

Lucy: Whaaa!!

Natsu: They've found us!!

Maid 2: They will be exterminated.

Natsu before attacking the maids wrapped his scarf around his face to where only his eyes were showing. He then kicked all the maids away.

Lucy was extremely shocked to see Natsu kick all the maids away in one blow.

Lucy: Huh!?

Natsu: We ninja must never be seen. Nin, nin!!

Happy: Nin, nin!

Lucy: You guys make the exact same amount of noise as ninja as you do regularly. Geez. We'd better move. They're going to send somebody else next. We have to get inside a room.

Natsu: Let 'em come! Just let me at 'em!!

Natsu, Lucy and happy the got into a room that looked like a massive library.

Lucy: Phew, that was close.

Natsu: Woah! This place sure has a lot of books!

Happy: Aye! Ninja master sir!

Lucy: Duke Everlue may look like a total idiot, but this is quite the private library.

Natsu: Let's search!

Happy: Aye sir!

Lucy: If he's read all of them I'd be very impressed.

Natsu: Oh no! I found a dirty one!!

Happy: And a picture guide to fish!!

Lucy: I'm exhausted. Just thinking of trying to find a single book in all of this.

Natsu: What's the matter with these!? They only have words!

Lucy: Natsu, that's normal for books.

Happy: Woah I found a golden book!!

Lucy: Will you guys please get serious about this search!?

Natsu: Daybreak!!

Happy: We found it!!

Lucy: It hardly seems fair to find it so quickly without even really looking.

Natsu: Now for the burning

Happy: This is so easy

Lucy: W-wait a second! Th-this author, it's Kemu Zaleon!

Natsu: Kemu?

Lucy: He was an author, but also a practicing wizard. I'm his biggest fan! This can't be true! I thought I'd read all of Kemu Zaleon's books!! This is an unpublished work!? Amazing!

Natsu: Who cares let's just burn it quickly.

Lucy: What are you saying? This is a cultural legacy! There's no way we can burn it!!

Happy: You mean abandon the job?

Lucy: Didn't I say that I'm a fan!?

Natsu: Why are you hitting us!?

Lucy: Then let's just say we burnt it, and let me keep it!

Natsu: I don't want to lie

Lucy: Didn't you hear? There's only one of these in the world! If we burn it nobody will ever be able to read it again!

Everlue then popped up from under the ground from the tunnel that he had dug using his magic

Duke Everlue: I see. I see. So it's daybreak that your after? I was right to let you run free for a while. Oh how smart am I?!

Natsu: Look, you became a fan girl and this is what happened. He caught up to us. Stop delaying and let me burn the damn book.

Lucy: I-I'm sorry

Duke Everlue: Hm...now I know what you wizards are all frantic to find. So it was that worthless book huh?

Natsu: Worthless book?

Duke Everlue: This is a book that the client was willing to pay two million to destroy and the owner, thinks it's worthless?

Lucy: T-then you wouldn't mind if I kept it?

Duke Everlue: No! I don't care how worthless it is! What's mine is mine!

Lucy: Jerk!

Duke Everlue: Shut up ugly!

Natsu: It doesn't matter whose it is if we burn it.

Lucy: No! I won't let you!

Nastsu: Damnit Lucy this is our job!

Lucy: Then let me at least read it first.

Natsu: You mean here!?

Duke Everlue: Tch! Now you've made me angry! I will not allow you to touch the book of one so very, very, very important as I! Come out Vanish Brothers!!

Suddenly a section of the library started to open up revealing a hidden passage way with two figures standing inside.

Figure 1: So it's finally time for business?

Figure 2: Mama would scold us for receiving money without working for it.

Figure 1: Good afternoon.

Figure 2: These kids are supposed to be Fairy Tail wizards? Pathetic.

The two men now standing in front of natsu lucy and happy were known as the Vanish Brothers. One brother was bald but with what hair he had left he had as a large pony tail. He also hat tattoos on his face and a large pan on his back. The other one was extremely tall with spiky hair that went in all directions.

Happy: That symbol! That's the mark of the southern wolf bodyguard guild.

Natsu: So you hired these guys?

Duke Everlue: The southern wolf is hungry! Please prepare yourself to die!!

Everyone then went into an intense staring match until they noticed that Lucy had no clue what was going on because she was so indulged in the book.

Everyone: Hey!!

Phil: These people are pathetic.

Brandon: So these are fairy tail wizards.

Duke Everlue: Vanish brothers I want that book back! Kill them and get it back!!

While Lucy was reading the book she noticed something that no one else had noticed before inside the book.

Lucy: What's this!? Natsu buy me some time!! It looks like there's some secret behind this book!!

Nastsu: Huh?

Duke Everlue: Secret!?

Natsu: Lucy where are you going!?

Lucy: I need a quiet place to read!

Duke Everlue thoughts: A-A secret? Wh-when I read it, I didn't notice anything. M-maybe he hid some treasure map inside of it! I-I can not simply Stan by and...!!

Duke Everlue: Change of plan! I will find that girl myself! You vanish brothers make sure that brat boy dies!!

Everlue then used his magic to tunnel underneath the ground leaving Natsu with the brothers.

Phil: I hate it when the client changes plan on a whim.

Brandon: You said it!

Natsu: It looks like this is going to be a huge pain in my ass. Happy go after Lucy.

Happy: You're facing off against two members of the southern wolf guild! I have to help out here!!

Natsu: I can handle them alone.

Brandon: Huh?! You jerk! I'm telling mama!!

Phil: Calm down and cool off.

Happy: Natsu take care of yourself!

Natsu: Yeah! Keep an eye on Lucy okay?

Phil: Come at us fire wizard.

Natsu: Huh? How'd you know I work with fire?

Brandon: We saw everything through sets of crystal balls. That girl's got keys, holder magic. A celestial wizard with seven contracts right? And there's no doubt about your flying cat. He's got a special magic ability called Aera.

Phil: And you, you melted the glass and your legs were engulfed in fire when fighting the maids. That makes you a special-ability fire wizard. I'm right aren't I?

Natsu: You got good eyes huh.

Natsu then lit his fist on fire.

Natsu: Then you're ready for this, right? Prepare to be chared to the bone by me and my fire!

Phil: Unfortunately for you, that won't be happening. If you want to know why, it's simple we excel in killing fire wizards like yourself.

Natsu: Oh? Then bring it on!
