-2 Days After Meredy Joined The Guild-
"Yo,Meredy-chan!" Levy greeted Meredy as she came in to the guild.
"Hello,Levy." Meredy answered,with a tone not as cheerful as Levy's.
"So,how you've been?" Levy asked. Jet and Droy were following her.
"I'm fine. Thanks for asking." Meredy replied.
"So,Meredy. Can I get you anything?" Mira politely asked.
"No,thanks. I'm just here to pick up a job." Meredy replied.
"You don't have to rush things. You should focus on fitting in with the rest before going on a job." Mira said as she was picking up a mug that was on Macao and Wakaba's table.
"She's right. You should take it easy,child." Master appeared out of nowhere.
"Maka-,I mean Master. Thank you for your concerns,but I'm already overstaying my welcome at the Girls Dorm without even paying for it. I need some money to make a living." Meredy responded.
"So,you're staying at Fairy Hills?" The blonde who just walked in asked.
"Lucy?" Meredy was surprised,she thought that Lucy had left on a mission with Gray,Natsu and Erza.
"Hi." Lucy waved.
"Welcome home,Lucy. How did the job go?" Mira asked.
Lucy's face got darker. She looked sick.
"It wa-was,It was, AHHHHHHHHH! We messed up again. Natsu just burned everything and Gray tried to freeze everything and Erza,Erza was AHHHHHHHHH. Most of all Erza!" Lucy started pulling her hair.
"I can't take it anymore. Most of our rewards go to repairing things and we divide the rest,so only a tiny bit is left everytime. I won't be able to pay my rent this month." Lucy started whining.
"Come on Lucy,you say these things every time you come back from a mission. It will be fine." Mira replied.
"I mean it this time. I'm already behind three months. I didn't exactly payed for the three months that we spend at the Spirit World,thanks to Virgo." Lucy replied.
"Then you should go on a job. Meredy is looking for one too. Why don't you go together?" Mira asked.
Meredy and Lucy looked at Mira then each other.
"S-Sure,that would be great. If it's okay with you." Lucy replied.
Meredy nodded.
"It would be great for me too. I haven't been a part of an official guild before. It would be helpful to have someone show me how things are done." Meredy replied.
Happy came by flying. He was covering his mouth,trying to hold back a laughter.
"Yeah,If by "how things are done" you mean getting chased by weirdo guys while Erza and the rest do most of the fighting,you're right." Happy said before flying off again.
"You damn cat. I'll turn you into a stuffed animal when I get my hands on you." Lucy said before running after Happy.
They met up with Meredy a minute later in front of the request board.
"So,which job should we choose?" Meredy asked before both of them started looking at the requests.
"This one's reward is 50,000 jewel. "Help me find my pet bird.". No that's too simple." Lucy said.
"This one says they need a mage to take care of a Wywern that's been attacking the villagers. The reward is 200.000 jewel." Meredy proposed.
"No,that's boring. We should go on a more exciting one. One that could get me fired up!" Natsu,who the girls couldn't realize was there said.
"AHHH! Who said you could come?" Lucy said after she yelled,scared.
"Ohh,We need some food money. Right,Happy?" Natsu said to Happy,who was on his shoulder.
"Aye,sir!" Happy said lifting his tiny fist up.
"It's okay Lucy. I've seen how he fights. He could be useful." Meredy said towards Lucy.
"Well,fine. Since this is your first job so you should decide." Lucy agreed.
All four of them turned back to the board again.
"So,which one should we choose?" Lucy asked.
"Oh,we've already found one. Show them Happy." Natsu said before both he and Happy made a scary face.
"It's to go to an abandoned temple that is said to be haunted!" Natsu said,trying to scare the girls.
"NO,DEFINITELY NOT!" Lucy yelled looking away. Meredy took the flyer from Happy.
"Well,the reward is pretty good. 500.000 jewels." Meredy said,trying to compromise.
"500.000 JEWELS! For just to go to an abandoned temple?" Lucy asked.
"The temple is actually a huge pyramid. And it's written that the people who went in there never came back. The request is to search the temple for any information about the disappearances and find out what's going on in there." Meredy explained.
"Let's take it. Let's take it. Please Lucy!" Natsu begged Lucy.
"Fine,I'll have to stop by my house first. We'll meet back here in an hour." Lucy finally agreed.
"Okay!" Natsu yelled.
"Aye!" Happy yelled after him before they went back to their table.
"I'll see you in an hour Meredy." Lucy said before she exited the guild.
-In Front Of The Guild,An Hour Later-
When Lucy came back to the guild's entrance an hour later. She found Natsu sleeping on one of the benches and Happy eating a fish on the grass.
"HEY NATSU WAKE UP!" Lucy yelled. Natsu rolled over in panic and fell off the bench.
"Lucy! What are you yelling for?" Natsu asked before he got back up.
"Ah,sorry. It's usually so hard to wake you." Lucy replied,It really was.
"That's only when I'm sleeping in your bed." Natsu replied.
Lucy felt a little blush on her cheeks before sending it back in.
"W-Well then,you should get used to this then." Lucy said,smirking.
"You're mean,Lucy! What would we do without your house. It's like our vacation home." Happy replied,leering.
Before Lucy could reply,they heard footsteps. It was Meredy. She was running in their direction.
"Hi. I hope I didn't make you guys wait too much." Meredy said as she was rearranging her breathing.
"No,you're here just in time." Lucy said smiling.
"Yeah,you came here before I did." Another figure who just came out of the guild said.
Lucy turned around.
"G-Gray?" Meredy asked,surprised.
"You're coming too?" Lucy asked.
"Of course I am. After all... We're the strongest team." Gray said,smirking.
"Even though I don't like this bastard,he's got a point. By the way what's with the baggage?" Natsu asked pointing the bag on Gray's hand.
"Wait,"Strongest Team"? Then that means..." Lucy darkly mumbled to herself.
"Coming in prepared is always important,Natsu. I thought I taught you that." The scarlet haired girl said while dragging a huge carriage with her right hand.
"E-Erza?" Natsu said,half-scared,half-surprised.
A blue headed girl and her cat friend appeared behind Erza.
"Hi,Lucy-san,Natsu-san,Gray-san and Meredy-san." Wendy counted them one by one with a childish smile.
"Hello." Carla shortly said.
"I can hear my rent floating away." Lucy said in a half-crying,half-whining voice.
"Aye!" Happy agreed with Lucy.
Then the 6 young mages and their 2 exceeds hit the road with the goal of completing Meredy's first job...
