Rated: T for swearing
A/N: Thank you for the reviews, favorites and follows :) I realized the summary had some mistakes. Forgot to edit it. Anyways, uh, this is short, I know but please just be patient, I'll write a longer one sooner or later. Anyways, read and review. Have fun, enjoy and that's that. The quote below will stay forever, but I will always put this here: I do not own the quote, I don't know who created it but hey, credits to the owner.
Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail. Hiro Mashima does.

[The Next Day:]
The sun is shining brightly, the flowers are blooming, the birds chirp loudly, it's such a wonderful day for everyone. Except for Lucy Heartfilia - she had continuously done jobs(1) so she could pay off her rent. Natsu isn't much help because he kept destroying properties (well, Erza and Gray did too but not as much as Natsu). She had done this mission all by herself simply because she wanted to.
The piece of paper where the mission is written is in her hands.
'It's easy.' she thought.
The job is simple.
Wanted: GUARD
Objective: To guard the restaurant for 48 hours straight (no complaining, every complain will cost you a hundred jewels, sorry but we can't really handle whiny people) while the owner is gone; you will do all the cleaning, the serving and all the jobs. You will also work with another guild, two members from their guild will come the same time you come. Anyways, enjoy the job. Finish this work and you'll receive the award.
Reward: 180K Jewels each person
It's not a mission Lucy can't handle. Lucy scratched her head and muttered, "...it's actually easier than the last mission." If you're curious, the last mission consisted walking through a snowy weather to reach the other side, which made Lucy sick (again), that's something she can't handle, the cold.
She walked to the destination, it's actually close. Reason why she went there the first place. You might not know but she's lazy as hell when it comes to walking in long distances, but she got used to it. Reason: Natsu always drags her in his walking because he dislikes trains.
The restaurant is beautiful. Unlike the other restaurants, this one is classy and formal. 'Oh, so this is why the jewels is high, because robbers tend to steal from rich restaurants, right?'
She knocked in and a man went to the front door. The man greeted her, "Hello miss! Welcome to my restaurant, are you the member from Fairy Tail? Come in!" The man held her wrist and dragged her to the employee room, and by dragged, she meant pulling her painfully to the employee room, that's that.
"The mission is simple, miss..."
"...Heartfilia."
"Miss Heartfilia! Uh, the mission is simple, Miss Heartfilia. You will serve the customers, the food will be done by the chefs but you will serve! You will clean afterwards, the closing time is midnight and the opening is two hours after midnight!" The man explained, holding her wrist still. It became loose every passing second, which is a great thing.
'The closing is midnight and the opening is two hours after midnight?'
Lucy nodded (but the thought is still stuck in her mind) and thanked the man, "Uh, thank you, mister. May I ask who are the two will accompany me in this mission?" Lucy asked. Not her problem, her curiosity got into her. She hoped that the guild is either Lamia Scale or Blue Pegasus, because she knew them. Other guilds may not be bad but she works better when she knew them.
The man nodded, "Yeah! You may. The two people who you'll work with is..."
Two figures entered the restaurant.
"...Sting Eucliffe and Rouge Cheney from Sabertooth."
Wait, Sting and Rogue? She hadn't seen them since the Grand Magic Games(2).
"Hey fairy." Sting waved his hand, and greeted Lucy (3) Lucy nodded in acknowledgement. Rogue just stood there with crossed arms. Two exceeds flew and went to their owners. Frosch greeted Lucy with a joyful tone, "Frosch says hello!"
Lucy smiled, "Hello Frosch." The exceed smiled back.
"Anyways, I'll be going! Enjoy serving."
(1) I just realized that the missions are jobs. *sigh* Most fanfictions have missions instead of jobs, so I'm used to missions. Sorry.
(2) I'm not going to follow the arcs and all that. I read the manga and- SPOILERS: -found out Sting got fatter it made me laugh so hard. Well, according to the wiki, he got fatter because he lost to Minerva in an eating contest. Hmph. Sting isn't that hot anymore. *shrugs* It's okay. NO SPOILERS ANYMORE: Anyways, let's just, uh, pretend that she hadn't seen them since GMG.
(3) Anyways, Sting isn't bitter of Fairy Tail anymore - but he's still cocky and arrogant. Loves Lector and all, and Rogue's still his partner. So yeah, sorry if there's too many numbers, numbers will always be numbers.
A/N: Short, I know - but this is just to introduce Sting and Rogue, sorry. Anyways, yeah, that's all. I promise the next update will be two thousand words or more. Anyways, thank you for the favorites, reviews and follows.
