Sorry! This is a short chapter! I have had a lot of homework!

Anyhow

Hiro Mashima owns Fairy Tail and all its characters! I only own this story's plot!

Let the magic begin~

Mayor's grandsons POV

I was walking silently beside Lucy, only answering when she asked me about a certain painting or vase or some other uninteresting thing. I was amazed that a real Fairy Tail mage were right next to me. They seemed to have an entirely different life than me. I glanced at Lucy. She had a very soft expression but her eyes seemed to hide a great amount of hurt feelings. I wonder for what…

I knew that I was some years older than her. Or only one year older if you counted the time she spent on Tenrojima. Her physical and mental age where still one of a seventeen year old. Soon her temporary room became visible. I stopped outside the big mahogany door.

"Here's your room for now Lucy!" I told her. She looked at the door as if she tried to solve a difficult puzzle. I silently watched her with an amused expression. I knew for a fact that she was hot as hell. But I didn't feel attracted to her. Weird considered that I'm a ladies man. "Well I will leave you to unpack…"I stopped. She didn't have any luggage. Only her small purse which I doubted contained any clothes. Her head shot up.

"Oh God! I forgot that I lost my suitcase!" She said with a terrified look. I scratched the back of my head.

"If you want to I could take you out on a small shopping trip around the city" I said. Her eyes light up. She clapped her hands together.

"That would be awesome!" She said happily. After deciding on meeting at the front gate in 20 minutes I turned around to go and get changed. Her voice stopped me midway into a step.

"I forgot to ask… what's your name?" She asked me. I stared confusedly at her. Didn't I introduce myself? I looked at her. Well I probably didn't.

"My name is Gabriel." I said with a small smile before continuing walking towards my room.

Lucy's POV

I stood in front of the gate and waited for Gabriel. It felt like I had heard that name before. Maybe it was another Gabriel… but then again it wasn't that many whose name was Gabriel… (A/N this is the FT world! Gabriel isn't a usual name!) I sighed. I felt a bit lonely even if I knew that I soon would walk around in the city together with Gabriel to look for clothes. I thought about Natsu. His salmon hair that looked hard and spiky but that in real was very soft and silky. His familiar scarf that looked like white dragon scales. I thought of his smell. The smell of burning wood and nature, with a tiny bit of cinnamon. I sighed, I just wished for it to be as it was before. The voice pf Gabriel woke her up from her daydreams.

"Lucy! There you are." He said with a very loud voice. As if he was holding a speech in the guild or something. Like Max. I inspected his 'shopping clothes' and took a closer look at him. He had a flaming red, unruly hair in a very short cut. His eyes reminded me of my own with the same chocolate brown color. His skin had a slight sun touch which gave him a nice happy feeling. He was wearing a simple black T-shirt and a pair of black pants with sneakers. I gave him a slight smile.

"Should we get going?" I asked him. He gave me a nod and a broad smile as an answer.

The day passed faster than Natsu eating a fire-chicken, but it didn't end without a gain. I had found several skirts, pants, shorts, shirts, hoodies, dresses, shoes, etc. I even found a book! I was very satisfied with my purchase. Under our time in the city and the shops I got to know Gabriel a bit more. His favorite color was icy blue, he hated coffee, he was 26 years old, he had a star shaped birthmark on his neck, he loved seaweed and best of everything… he loved books! We sat at a café when he told me that he loved books. He liked most of the authors that I liked and the ones he didn't… he hadn't heard of them so that's why. I felt refreshed and relieved when I packed up my new stuff into the bedroom Gabriel had given me. When I was done with organizing my new stuff I laid down on my back on the bed. I stared at the ceiling. I had no idea what to do with the spirit, monster, demon, or whatever the fuck it was. I had to make a plan.

I sat down at the writing desk and picked up a paper. Gabriel had said that the spirit showed up at late night or early morning so I had to have that in mind. I got up from the chair and started pacing back and forth in in the room. Tonight at 12 o'clock I'll hunt down the spirit, but I need to know where it will appear and what I should wear. I stopped my pacing and went to the drawer. I picked out some black easy-to-move pants, a dark blue tank-top, my belt and some black leather boots that went to the middle of my calves. I didn't put on yet since I hoped to get some hours of sleep before the 'spirit hunt'. I looked at the blank paper that lay silently on the desk. I sighed. Well I didn't know how the spirit fought, looked like, how fast nor did I know where the kidnapped people was. I sighed again. I don't have a plan. Should I do a Natsu? Just improvise with a determination of winning? I face palmed at my constant thought of Natsu. 'Might as well get some food before going to sleep.' I thought and walked out of my room and started looking for the kitchen.

Good? Bad?
