Lucy was the Goddess of love and marriage and the number one match maker on Mount Olympus. She made sure that everyone, god and mortal alike found their special someone. If you had trouble finding your soulmate all you had to do was summon her and she would help you free of charge. There was only one match she had failed to find and that was a match for herself. The next day Mavis and Natsu went to Lucy's temple to speak with her.

"Lucy. It's Queen Mavis. I would like to speak with you."

As soon as those words were spoken an elegant and regal looking goddess appeared. Her long, shiny, blonde hair put even the sun to shame and her soft brown eyes twinkled with undescribable beauty. She wore a purple gown and cloak of peacock feathers while precious jewels were clasped around her neck, wrists, and ankles. She looked like a queen and Natsu found himself immediately taken with her.

"Your majesty what an honor." She said curtsying before Mavis. "What can I do for you?"

"You could do me the pleasure of meeting me later this evening for some drinking and smooching." Natsu said.

"Ugh...What pit did you crawl out of?" Lucy asked.

"Natsu I think you better wait outside." Mavis said.

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

"Fine."

He rolled his eyes and did as she said.

"Who was that creep? A servant?" Lucy asked.

"No he's my son."

"Oh! A thousand apologies your highness."

"Oh there's no need for that. My son can be quite crass."

"Well again I say it is an honor to have you here so what do you wish of me?"

"I wish to make a match."

"Of course. That's what I do."

"I must warn you it will be a bit of a challenge."

"Nonsense. There is no person, male or female, god or mortal, that I cannot find a perfect match for. My motto is everyone has a soulmate they just need help finding them. So who's the lucky guy or girl in need of my instance?"

"My son Natsu."

"Oh...Yeah I can't help you there."

"What do you mean?"

"With all due respect your highness I've heard about your son and his way with women and I regret to inform you that there's no hope for him."

"You don't understand. My son is to become king soon and he needs a queen."

"I'm sorry but when I make a matche it's with people who want to be in a committed relationship and from what I hear your son doesn't want that."

"Lucy I've tried everything to get him to settle down you're my last hope. I don't want him to turn out like that sun god Laxus."

"Well I could slip him a love potion."

"No. None of that, I want my son's love to be real and of his own free will so no love potions."

"Then I don't know what will work for him."

"At least try to help him. Please."

"Alright I will do my best but I can't promise you results. So when do I start?"

"This weekend. For the week he'll be training and in tutoring sessions."

"Okay."

"Thank you so much for doing this Lucy. I know that if anyone can help my son find love it's you."

Lucy bid farewell to Mavis and Natsu then went to see her dear friend Mirajane Goddess of hearth and family. She did not live in a temple or a palace like most gods did. Her home was actually quite humble, a little a house on a hill that was plain and ordinary yet warm and comfortable.

She was a radiant looking goddess who dressed modestly and wore a linen shawl. She mostly spent her days sitting by the hearth, looking down upon the mortals with families and making sure that their homes were always warm and secure.

"Hello Lucy, how was your day? Any new clients?" She asked.

"You're not going to believe this Mirajane but Queen Mavis came by my temple and she asked me to make a match."

"How exciting. Who's it for?"

"Her son Natsu."

"Oh dear. Well that should be difficult."

"Difficult? Try impossible. That man can't resist a pretty face weather it belongs to a goddess, nymph, or mortal. He'll never settle down and get married."

"So are you not going to take the job?"

"I told Mavis that I would try but I couldn't promise her results. I don't know why she's trying to marry him off, why couldn't she ask me to help her other sons? At least they're committed."

"Well actually Gray doesn't believe in love and Jellal well...I do believe he's already spoken for."

"Really? Who is she?"

"Sorry I'm sworn to complete secrecy."

"Oh come on Mirajane. You can trust me."

"Nope I gave my word that I wouldn't tell and you know we goddesses are bounded by our word for all eternity."

"Can you at least give me a hint?"

"Nope."

"You're no fun."

Mirajane just giggled.

"Anyway maybe your case isn't as hopeless as you think. I mean you don't really know Natsu."

"I know that he's a pervert and a womanizer."

"But maybe there's more to him. You know I grew up with all three of those boys and Natsu is actually a very decent guy once you get to know him."

"You sure about that?"

"If you won't take my word for it then try talking to Erza she also grew up with them."

"Well I've got my work cut out for me that's for sure."

"You know Lucy I've been wondering, does all this match making you do ever make you want to find that special someone."

"Oh Mirajane I gave up that goal up years ago."

"You're kidding? What happened to all those suitors that were lined up to court you."

"I told them to find someone else because I have no intention of getting married."

"The goddess of marriage isn't interested in getting married?"

"I know it's ridiculous and a long time ago I did want to meet the most perfect man and get married but something happened that changed my mind about the whole thing."

"What was it?"

"It's a long story and I'd rather not talk about it."

"I understand. Still I hope you find that special someone and end up getting married."

"Thanks Mirajane."

"If you ask me you need to take a break from work. They're having a party on Mount Olympus this weekend and I've been invited, would you like to be my plus one?"

"Of course. It sounds fun."

"Now I should warn you that my brother might be there with his girlfriend."

"Uh-oh. Then I better make sure that I don't look too good at that party. You know how Evergreen gets when she's not the prettiest goddess in the room."

The two laughed and then went to prepare for the party.
