HI! I just wanted to put this in in case anyone else is confused about the story and some extra information for later…
~ Natsu cannot see Lucy, but he can hear and smell her.
~ Happy and people from Edolas can see her…so Exceeds
~ Mystogan is Lucy's 'older brother' in this story
~ Normal clothes disappear with Lucy. But! Edolas clothing and celestial clothing still shows up… idk why I thought it'd be cool…
~ Because I LOVE Rogue… I just do okay… he'll make a little appearance… suggestions on what role he'll play please~! No bad evil role please, I already have an evil bitch for that…
~ Lissana will show up, her story will be told in chapter she shows up. And she may or may not be evil and mean and stereotypical like in most stories…MUHAHAHA lets let history repeat itself… maybe
Sorry everyone I know I'm shitty… and as I started to type I was given a 3-d comic book and a scratch and sniff… and the characters changed… ITS SO COOL! DON'T HATE ME! :'( and another thing is I don't know how to write this without rushing it and making it confusing so give as many suggestions to what you want! I NEED THEM!
Stretching I sit up and rub the sleep out of my eyes looking around slowly. Throwing off the covers I roll out of bed and start to get dressed thinking of what to do today. Jumping up and grabbing some breakfast I head out the door eating, waving bye I start to head towards the park to see if he's gone on a mission. I was half hoping he had, and half hoping he hadn't, that way I could hurry up and get my money so I could afford to lay low. I was also thinking of doing some 'exploring' of dark guilds.
"Gosh, I forgot how far the park is! Luckily the apartment isn't that far!" I switched over to shadow and ran, but as I did I noticed a lot of thing happening around me that you wouldn't normally see. I saw every little detail of everyone and everything; it was beautiful I had never seen anything like it. I was enjoying seeing this when caught a flash of pink disappear, turning I saw the park and followed. But when I had arrived, it turned out to be nothing and there was no job request on the tree.
"I guess I'll just go choose a job then! Ooh I wonder what I can choose?" walking back towards the guild I debated on what kind of job I would do today, if I even found one I wanted or liked the look of. I would probably just end up going to a dark guild though; I heard there was one that had a bad patch with Fairy Tail… that'll probably be the one I check out. Opening the doors to the guild I walk noticing today must be a slow day because there was at least 3 people at every table. It wasn't quiet, but it wasn't rowdy, it was calm. 'I wonder if this is what other guilds are like? I guess I'll check on my way wherever I go today!' I walked in hood up and head down, Mira looked up and just smiled, I returned the gesture but I knew she wouldn't see it. I walked over towards the request board and started to look around at all the different jobs I saw an easy one about a days away from town, it would give me some time to explore different guilds while at the same time getting my rent sorted. Reaching up I gipped it just as the doors swung open with a loud bang. Jumping I ripped the paper and gripped it towards me looking over to where the noise came, annoyance swept over as I saw Natsu and Happy walking in. 'Of course'
"Hello Mira-san, I'll be taking this job," I handed her the piece of paper as she got the request book out. I felt an arm swing around my shoulders as I looked over to see Natsu
"Hey Lucy going on a job?" I looked over, I was giving him a 'no duh' look which made Happy laugh because he could see my face
"Yes, thank you Mira" I grabbed the request sheet, and turned around waving goodbye without looking back. I would just do this job, collect the money, explore. And then back on track with studying dark guilds and 'shadowing' Natsu. I heard him following me out but I didn't stop to look
"HEY LUCY! LETS MAKE A DEAL!" I stopped and saw Natsu behind me with his own request in hand
"What deal?" He grinned widely and held up the request sheet
"Let's see who can finish and get back to the guild first! Winner gets all?" he held his hand out and as I was about to shake we were interrupted
"HEY FLAME BRAIN! Let's make it even more interesting, all magic allowed." Some guy our age with dark blue hair and no shirt walked up
"Sure ice princess, I could use the extra money" they shook hands and 'ice princess' just shook his head
"Actually it'll be the other way, cause I'm so gonna beat your ass" he then turned to me, probably confused to why I was completely covered from head to toe. I stretched out my hand and introduced myself
"Hello, I'm Lucy" I stretched out my gloved hand and was relieved when he shook it,
"Gray Fullbuster, shall we start the bet?" We all nodded and headed off, Gray ended up heading on the same path as me
"Are you headed towards Denoko?" I looked over and almost screamed, he only had on his boxers
"Yes, and Gray your clothes…" he looked down and apologized quickly putting some clothes on. We walked a bit farther and I was almost regretting not turning off on a different path
"So, I'm guessing you're in Fairy Tail, but when did you join? I've never seen you at the guild," he was still looking forward and I felt a tad guilty that I was still covering my features
"I've only just gotten back a couple days ago; I was on a training trip." I started to see the tips of some of the houses from the town
"So what type of mage are you Gray?" I looked over and that's when I realised he was the same guy from my trip with Mystogan, when I met Happy. 'I guess his hair is actually dark blue'
"I'm an Ice-Make Mage, and you Lucy?" Well I couldn't lie, but I couldn't tell the complete truth
"Well, I'm a Celestial Spirit Mage" We walked into the village and everyone was joyful and happy, suddenly I wondered if Gray's request was anything like mine. I had a simple request that was to help some villagers heard some animals and help tidy up a bit of the mess that the storm left behind
"HELLO! HELLO! WELCOME! WELCOME!" a small fat man in a top hat came running over to us and we started our jobs
TIME SKIP CAUSE WHY THE HEEL NOT! IM LAZY AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WRITE…SO YEAH…KK?KK
I had finished my job earlier than Gray, and he said I should leave and beat that 'flame brain idiot' Natsu. Not having anything else to do, I had shadow run the whole way home, through the guild and upstairs. I was currently sitting upstairs with my mask, gloves, and cape hanging on the back of my chair, I had always wanted to go down stairs because I heard there was a pool table, and there's even a real pool!
"I'M THE FIRST ONE BACK!" I looked down to see Natsu laughing and dancing around. I decided that I'd let him dance a bit more, until Gray came in and hit him in the head
"Shut up you idiot!" he sat down and pulled out a sack, placing it on the table
"You're just mad because I won! And now you have to give me your job money!" he was dancing around again so I threw on my things, leaving off my mask and hood, and went down stairs. As I was descending I shadow featured and by the time I stepped of the last step I looked almost completely normal
"Actually I won, so I'll be taking that" I walked over and picked up his reward putting it with my stuff on my belt. He looked over shocked and I couldn't help but laugh, it wasn't too late in the afternoon and I didn't have anything to do, I debated on staying and becoming better friends but Gray looked like a smart guy, even if he did have a stripping habit, he's bound to realize, if he hasn't already, that was something Mystogan warned me about.
"Well I think I'll be off then boys, Gray, nice meeting you" I walked upstairs and went to the special request board for only S-Class wizards when I saw Master walking over with a grim expression and a sheet of paper in his hand
"Lucy, I have a special job for you. It's a 100-year job" 'A 100 year job? I've heard of jobs like these… they're said to be impossible! And the only one who ever came close had to stop because they were attacked by a dragon… I wonder if I'll be able to do it… I'll wait for Mystogan to come home and I'll talk to him about it.' I took the paper he handed to me and thanked him. I walked back down stairs and read over the request. Happy landed on my shoulder and I could hear him reading it quietly
"YOUR GOING ON A 100-YEAR JOB?!" I jumped away holding my ear, the sudden movement sending Happy into the air. Suddenly the whole guild went quiet and everyone was looking at me. And I was just standing there rubbing my poor screeched in ear
"YES HAPPY I AM! THANK YOU FOR TELLING EVERYONE! NOW GOODBYE!" I waved and pretty much booked it out of there, and away from all of their questioning stares. I felt like Natsu may be following me so I ran behind a couple alleys and hid my edo clothing in an earth land backpack I kept hidden; it was sort of like Hermione's bag, infinite but small. Perfect. I emerged invisible and kept walking, thinking over the mission I was given
"What if I can't do it? What if one of the spirits gets hurt?! What will happen if I mess up?" these thoughts clouded my mind, and soon the memories from my parents death clouded my mind, followed by the strange dream I had. With tears pouring from my eyes I stood outside my door for a moment wiping my face, I walked in dropping my stuff and walking out to the forest, lying down I let myself fall asleep.
"NO! NO STOP! STOP! PLEASE DON'T!" my hands shot forward reaching for a cloaked figure holding a limp body in their hands, I heard laughing and realized I was crying
"Oh Lucy, Lucy, Lucy, you had the chance. And now your 'friends' must pay the price for your ignorance" it was a man's voice. He started to drag the limp figure back farther in to the shadows and as I tried to jump up I realized my hands were cuffed to the wall, I was sitting on a cold stone floor, bars locking me in. a cell.
"Why?! WHY! HUH! WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US!" I looked to my left but there was nothing but wall, I could recognize the voice, but not enough to put a face to it. I tried to call out, but my voice had given out.
Suddenly everything went black and I woke up somewhere else, I was at home, but, I wasn't it was…paler? It's like nothing had colour, and there was no noise… not even the birds. I got up and started to walk around, nothing seemed real, when I looked out the window nothing was moving. I looked around the house for Grandine or Mystogan but no one was home. I went to open the door but even that looked unnatural, opening it, I realized it was worse; it didn't even look like it was moving. It felt wrong, it looked wrong. Running outside everything looked like that; I started to run towards town when I realized there was nobody, absolutely no one. Not even when I walked into Fairy Tail. Getting a bad feeling I ran all over the place, even going into some guild called Saber Tooth! I ran all over Fiore and it seemed I was the only one, I even went into people's homes, and everything was the same. I felt like crying, and yelling. I slowly walked towards the park hugging myself looking back and forth for some form of life. Seeing nothing I started to walk faster until I eventually I reached the park, but it looked different from everything else, it looked more plastic, more fake than everything else. I walked towards the middle of the park then lay down like I had earlier when I went to sleep, except this time when I closed my eyes I heard yelling and screaming and cries. But I heard one voice clearly over all of it, and it frightened me the most, I heard Mystogan's voice calling out over all the blood curdling screams, the yells of anger, the cries of pain, he was calmly but worriedly calling out my name.
"Lucy… Hey Lucy! Lucy wake up!" suddenly I shot up as everything around me came into to view, I was back in the meadow in the forest, everything was back to normal, it all looked real. When I turned to my right Mystogan was crouched beside me, worry written all over his face. His mask and hat were scrunched in his left hand, his right resting on my shoulder.
"Hey Mystogan… what's up?" He just sighed and plopped down shaking his head grinning, I suddenly remembered the request and sat up straighter
"Mystogan… today I was given a 100 year job… I don't know if I'm ready to take it." He looked up shock replacing his face
