A week later

Life's been rather. . . interesting. I learned the true qualities of a Fairy Tail mage. Stick together, try your best, and be reckless idiots.

Natsu Dragoneel and his team are by far the worst according to Mira's tales of adventure. Apparently they have accomplished numerous outstanding feats, yet I can't help but wonder how far they'll go someday.

I was sitting in the guild, watching Natsu and Gray create ridiculous names for each other when I felt a hand on my shoulder. A rather large hand at that. I looked up to see Laxus's towering frame over me. "Hello," I said to him as I smiled and turned towards him. "Oi, master wants to see you in his office," He said. I quickly got up and walked up the stairs to the small man's office. I didn't notice that Laxus had gone with me until I heard him shut the door behind me. I sat down in a chair across from master. Who was sitting on his desk sipping a mug of what they call 'beer'.

"Hello master," I said as I smiled at him. He set down his cup and looked at me. "Hello Lucy. I have decided that since you are becoming accustomed to this world. I will send you out on your first mission. You will have Wendy accompany you and Laxus monitor your progress. I will send you to Clover to investigate the actions of a dark guild, Death's Pull. We have heard of highly suspicious activity in the area. The magic counsel had us send in some mages to find out what they're doing, report it, then eradicate or apprehend all members of the guild. So we have decided to send you and Wendy and Laxus. I sense a power in you. A power of purity that will do well for this. If you succeed this mission while meeting all of the requirements, then you will automatically be promoted to S-class. This is highly unusual, but since our last two S-class exams were interrupted by this guild, we should naturally make up for lost time, right?" Master ended with a smirk. A dark guild, as my first mission. A powerful one! "M-Master? Are you sure you want to send me on this mission? I barely know my own powers! How can you so easily tell that I'll do this right?" I asked. Trying to convince him to send more powerful mages, like Erza or Mira. He grinned. "I'm positive you can do this," He said firmly. I nodded and took my leave. "When shall we all depart?" I asked.

"In two days at 8. You will meet here with items to last a couple weeks at most. This is a surveillance mission as well as a fighting one. Good day, Lucy,"

I quietly slipped out to tell Wendy.

Laxus peered at his grandfathers form. Closed eyes with his arms and legs crossed. Laxus spoke up. "How are you so sure, blondie can handle this?" He asked. Truth be told, he was quite unsure of his grandfather's choice, he won't admit it though. Makarov turned his head towards his son and met his eyes in a firm gaze.

"That girl has a history we cannot even begin to imagine. I do not know myself. Yet I can tell she can do great things. Give her time. She may even recover her memories! I also know that she seems calm. She is calculative and knows her way with people. Also, you're going too. So I have no doubt in my mind that you'll do well," He said as he beamed a smile. Laxus grunted his approval of the sub-par explanation. He got up to leave and waved at his father over his back.

I quietly closed the door of the office and descended down the stairs. Many curious gazes watched me as I made my way over to my blunette friend. "Wendy, Master has told us to go with Laxus on a mission to watch and take down a dark guild called Death's pull," I said as I sat down. Her eyes widened as well as many others in the guild who had eavesdropped. Eruptions of disapproval and fury came from the masses as they watched Natsu and co. walk over to the blonde mage. "Oi! WHy do you get to defeat them! They've messed with us for years! You are new to the guild! Why can't I go! I wanna' go!" Natsu yelled and stomped as fire spewed out of his mouth. Erza gave Lucy a serious look. Even Lucy couldn't quite read it. Natsu's complaints were interrupted when a deep voice rang out over the guild. "Lucy is going on this mission because Master said so! Don't question the old man's judgement! She's a capable mage of Fairy Tail. Don't doubt your comrades!" Laxus yelled as he walked down the large stairs with his hands shoved in his pockets.

"But I want to! I'm powerful! Master should send Team Natsu!" Natsu roared as he pumped his fists and began breaking things. Laxus zapped him. "This is why he chose a different group. He needs some one who isn't rowdy and destructive to go. It's surveillance. You stick out like a boulder in sand," Laxus said.

Natsu slumped and shuffled over to his table while the others stayed.

"How can we know that she's capable. She hasn't shown any magical prowess yet. How do you know?" Erza asked in a business tone. Laxus looked up for a moment. Then returned to Erza. "Just because she isn't aware of her powers, doesn't mean they're not there," Laxus said calmly as he walked out. "Oi! You two comin' or what!? We need strategy!" Laxus yelled as the two healers quickly ran to glide along with the dragonslayer, leaving a shocked guild behind.

I highly doubted my ability to do well on this mission. Yet I had a new motivation. I will try my best, for my new guild and family, Fairy Tail!

I typed this up fairly quickly. I'm once again extremely tired. Grrrrr I never seem to get enough sleep ,

Well here, this chapter was more of an introductory. It'll get better :) (I'll try)
