Chapter 3

Hello one an all! Why do I keep forgetting to put this? No one knows!

Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail.

Now on to the story.

Brandon's POV

When Brandon walked out of the guild, he could feel the hundreds of eyes on him. ( Except for Cana's of course) So he set off, wandering the streets of Magnolia, looking for a house to call his own.

He searched many streets. But to his dismay, found no one selling at the moment, except for a small apartment on Strawberry St.

A/N Do you know where im going with this?!

A bottom apartment being sold from an old lady for 40,000J a month. Reasonable to pay. Brandon Takes a look inside and finds a great big study with drawings of dragons in it. He disregarded this for the moment and decided it was in his best interest to find out who lived in the same complex as he did.

As he takes to the stairs, Brandon sees a certain blonde coming down the way with a snowman thing in her arms.

" Yo, Lucy." He greets her.

Said mage looks surprised at the fact Brandon was walking up to her apartment. " What are you doing here? Lucy asks.

" I just bought the apartment down here. I was wondering who else lived here."

" Well, as a matter of fact, I do live here, It the one above yours. But, anyway welcome to Fairy Tail."

" What's that snowman thing in your arms?"

" Pu-Puuuun!" exclaimed the thing.

" Oh, you're a Nikola huh? Never seen one before."

"Wait?!" Lucy said. " You can understand him too?!"

" Well, who else does? Its probably Natsu or Gajeel from the sound of it. See you at the guild tomorrow."

Then disappeared.

Lucy's POV

To Lucy's surprise, Brandon went to his own home.' Unlike Natsu, thankfully,' she thought. When she walked up to her door, she always has trouble getting into her house, y'know, always having so many keys on one belt on one time. Finally, after 10 minutes of trying, she got into her house. Only to be greeted by none other than Natsu.

" Yo, Lucy!" he yelled. Surprising her… And breaking her vase with her mom's favorite flowers.

" Lucy Kick!" Natsu flies out of the window. You can still faintly hear him…

" So mean…"

" When will that guy remember to use the door?" She said quietly.

" Shut up will ya!" Brandon said from downstairs. " I can hear you y'know! Remember? Dragon Slayer senses?!"

'Sorry!' Lucy thought as she ran a bath for the evening. After her bath she jumped to write her novel. But something wasn't right. Something she couldn't put her finger on. It didn't feel right. She couldn't work under these conditions. So, she jumped in bed to a dreamless sleep, with that bad feeling still nagging at her head.

Next Morning

Lucy woke up, stretching, hitting her arm on something. It was Natsu.

" How the hell are you getting into my house during the night?!" she shouted angrily. " If you want to come in, use the freaking door. It's there for a reason!"

" Sorry, Luce." He said " Your bed is just so much comfier than mine! How many times do I need to point this out?"

" Sorry, Lushiiii," came a squeaky voice. " It probably will happen again anyway, though!"

" Happy! Natsu! Get out of my house!" she screamed.

Time Skip ( At Fairy Tail)

Normal POV

When Lucy walked into Fairy Tail, luckily without Natsu and Happy, Brandon was already there, talking to Mira. As if he can do that, she thought, he hasn't even been here a month and he's acting like he's been here all his life.

" Yo, Lucy!" Brandon called. " Come over here. I found a mission we could go on!"

" How much for the job and what is the job?" Lucy asked eagerly.

" About 800,000J. Not very much if you ask me."

"How could 800,000J not be very much to you?" Lucy exploded. From the look in her eye, Brandon knew she had money problems. Which was strange to him. Considering he knew that the Heartfilia family was very wealthy.

" Why is that? You are a Heartfilia, yes?"

He could see Lucy as she blushed, not in surprise, but in embarrassment.

" I ran away when I was little, so I have nothing concerning the Heartfilia fortune." She said quietly. " I couldn't handle having a father that didn't care for me."

" Well then. We'll just have to go on this mission together, sister. Oi, Natsu, Happy, we got a job!"

" Yahoo!" Natsu yelled as he received a punch from Erza.

" Keep your voice down." She said. " I thought I told you to use your inside voice."

" Welp, let's get going, Brandon." Natsu said.

Lucy couldn't help but feel weird as they walked out of Fairy Tail. It wasn't the job. It was Brandon. ' He just joined the guild' she thought. ' But he still considers me to be his nakama? Uh, I'm a Celestial Wizard and I'm not spiritual enough to know what's happening. I hate irony…

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had places to be, got sick, then got sick again.

Man, My life sucks!

Natsu: And how!

How are you even here in my author's notes, Natsu?

Natsu: I'm awesome, that's how. Now Review, Fav, and Follow!

Till Next Time
