Lucy woke up, feeling a little unsure of where she was before all the memories came rushing in, made her head hurt.

"Ouch" she moaned as she got up. "No time to lose, I have to go and get a dress for tonight."

It took her the whole morning for finding a capable dress for not such a horrible price. She was pretty happy about her new clothes and decided to celebrate it with a fast lunch.

"Lucy, hi." It was Trick that came around the corner with a great smile which made the nearest women turned around for eying the man once more.

"Oh Trick hey. What you're doing here?" she smiled; not expecting to see this man again, ever.

"I was going to get lunch and knew they have great sandwiches here, and you?"

"The same."

They laughed light and sat down on one of the park benches, watching the ducks fight over bread giving to them by strange people.

"So Lucy, where do you come from?" Trick asked the blonde girl, watching her eat her sandwich calmer than the soup yesterday.

"I live in Magnolia. It´s a few hour train ride from here… and you?" Lucy told him, not sure why he was still hanging around her. She was not that interesting, but it did flatter the blonde too.

"I don´t live anywhere special. I have been wandering from place to place for years now. I don´t belong to a guild like you." He smiled and Lucy looked at him. Of course he had seen her guild stamp on her right hand.

"You´re a mage!" she said and watched him more interested. He nodded.

"Yeah, you too."

"I´m a celestial mage." She introduces herself.

"I use something called sun magic."

"How does that work?"

"I take energy from the sun and transform it into magic. Just like anything else." He smiled. "That's why I´m fascinated about you Lucy. You can´t smell it but I swear that you smell just like the sun, I´ve never met a person who does that."

Lucy blushed and was happy over her sandwich in her hands, she could turn her head down to it. He was not the first that have told her she smelled like the sun.

"That's stupid, the sun don´t smell." She said, not knowing why she tried to defend herself against his compliments.

But Trick just smiled at her. "If you could smell it, you would definitely know that what I´m saying is true."

Lucy didn´t listen, she had seen the time and needed to get going for get ready for tonight.

"I really have to go. I´m going to attend this party tonight…"

"Tonight? I´m going to a party tonight as well. Maybe we see each other again." He blinked at her confused look. But she couldn´t think about that right now, she went back to the hostel. Getting her things and in to the ladies bathroom for starting the bath.

It was just as great that she had dreamed of, with all the bubbles, soaps and smells she felt like she went to bath heaven.

She got into her dress; it was light blue in a very elegant style with the back open but had a lot of leg space if she would have to kick somebody down it was still a job. She put up her hair with a blue hairband and then her jewelry; a silver necklace and earrings that was her moms, the earrings was a simple little pearl not worth that much but very special to her.

Lucy stood outside the gigantic building. She had already been talking with Mr. Kirk the arranger who said that the other mage should be here anytime soon. And she was right, just some minutes afterward a dark shadow appeared. Lucy gulped, she has thought about it all afternoon and it had to be Trick that was the other mage helping her tonight. She didn´t know if she felt happy about that, but in the same way he was nice and easy to talk to.

"Lucy?"

"Natsu!"

The shadow belonged to her dragon slayer, he scratched his head and gave Lucy the chance to look at him. He wore a tuxedo and looked really handsome in it.

"I´m here on a job, you?" Natsu asked, already knowing the answer.

"The same…" I´m going to kill Mirajane, Lucy thought with a devilish smile. "Hey great minds think alike." She said and tried to lighten up the strange feeling between them but Natsu didn´t crack.

"So where´s Happy?"

"Getting fat… that Mr. Kirks daughter feel in love with Happy and feeding him in the kitchen."

Lucy nodded, she had seen a fast glint of his little brunette daughter when she whined about why she couldn´t attempt the party.

"Let´s get going" Natsu said and Lucy took his arm before they entered inside.

It was still early but people started to pour inside as the music was playing high in the ears. Natsu took Lucy to one of the corners where they could see over all the areas from there as they melted in with the event.

"Why did you take this job? I´ve never expect you to do this by choice." Lucy asked, really wanted to talk with her dragon slayer.

"You saw the board, nothing interesting was there. And I wanted to have something quick and Mirajane didn´t let me take an S- class request." He sighed as he really wanted to knock down some gigantic sea monsters instead of standing here with Lucy.

"I´m sorry for destroying your plans…" Lucy said as she gazed over the new crowd people that entered. "I will be quiet if you want me to."

"No you can talk, I´ve never experience you silent anyway."

"Hey." Lucy hit him on the arm when he teased at her. "Not fear, but I´m really happy that you talk to me."

And there it was, Natsu thought. Lucys classic smile, gosh how he loved that smile. It was like the whole girl just started to shine and you couldn't help but smile with her.

"Of course. Let´s get this job done and then go home." Natsu said, knowing that his feeling hadn´t change but he had to hang in there and in some way waiting out the celestial mage, some day she might see him different.

The night was calm, Natsu had to throw a couple of guys out who started a fight next to the punch and Lucy got rid of some punks that tried to sneak into the ladies bathroom with a little help of Virgo; who suggested of digging an hole and bury the poor guys but Lucy just shook her head with a smile and the boy was thrown out. It became midnight and the party was still going with new guest arriving.

"Man, isn't it over yet?" Natsu said when he got back to Lucy after dealing with some drunken ladies that had started to throw shoes at people.

"Not looking like it… I mean look, now a new group of people are arriving. I thought this was going to be easy money." She sighed.

"Hey, I´m doing mostly of the work here." Natsu protested as Lucy had gone away outside for a couple of minutes leaving him left for keeping the peace.

"It was only two minutes. I´ve done at least half of the work so don´t you try anything." She laughed and got her favorite smile from him back. The tiny thought of killing Mirajane had disappeared, Natsu smiled with her again and they were a team; like it should be.

"Lucy, I thought that it was you. Wow you look stunning." It was nobody else than Trick. He was wearing an expensive tuxedo and hade comb that curly hair into place behind his ears, it suited him really well.

"Trick you surprised me… again." Lucy said with a light flush on her cheeks. "Why are you joining the party? I thought that it was only rich people welcome here…"

"Well, it´s not like I was hiding anything but Mr. Kirk is my father."

"But you said that you didn´t have a home!" Lucy said confused.

"No that's correct, because I don´t see this as my home. It just a big mansion where my family lives, personally I can´t stand it. But I was forced here this evening… I guess you´re the bodyguards?"

He smiled a little teasing at her and gazed at the pink haired guy behind her. He didn´t seem like her boyfriend but why did he get that strange feeling from the boy? It was like his scent was all over the girl teasing Trick and told him to back off.

"Maybe you could take a break? Please honor me with this dance?" Trick asked her, defiantly seeing the boy behind her showing his teeth now.

Lucy knew how to dance; she was raised in a mansion like this and used to attend event like this. But why did she look at Tricks hand like it was poison. Sure she liked him but it felt wrong to take that hand, and she couldn´t understand why.

"Uhm, I don´t think that´s such a good idea. I´m here working and I have to do a good job for me and my guild." She said in low voice, not looking at Tricks face.

"I´ll talk with my father, he´ll understands." Trick said and took a step towards the blonde… a step too close.

"Back off." Natsu growled as he had stepped forward. "Lucy said no, please don´t disturb us anymore."

Trick smiled, he could feel the magic energy from this boy and it was something unpredictable about it. He was raised as a gentleman and backed off.

"Of course." Then he looked at Lucy with his smile widened. "Next time alright."

Lucy nodded, not knowing what to say.

"Good, it´s a promise then. You´re doing a really great job here. Please try to enjoy the party as well."

Trick left and Lucy could breathe out, she started to feel a little unease with that guy. She liked him but he was everywhere she went and it started to annoy her.

"Where did you meet that freak show?" Natsu snorted as he turned and looked at the blond stellar mage.

"Be nice Natsu, he´s not a freak. But it was at the same time I saw you and Happy yesterday. It wasn´t any free tables left so I had to sit with Trick."

"I don´t like that nutshell anyway." Natsu murmured and then he went angry rest of the night.

When they finally where done: just before sunset, and they had got their money. He started to act like himself again. Happy had gained a lot of weight eating all fish in the kitchen during the job which made that Natsu to wear the cat in his arms as they walked down the street.

"My sweet money." Lucy laughed cheerful as she hugged her envelopment. Smiling for that her rent was fixed and that she could live in her apartment another month.

"You could always live with Natsu and me." Happy yawned from Natsus arms.

"Yeah right, like I could live in that place. You never clean once, I guess you throw the plates out when you´re done."

"No why would we when you do it so good for us?" Natsu teased her and got another hit for his funny comment, totally worth it.

"Look at the sun." Lucy said and they watched how the sun glowed up their world. "Let´s go and get our things then we can catch the first train back to Magnolia."

"Uhm, sure…" Natsu said, feeling sick just about thinking of the train.

But they got their stuff and walked down to the station just in time for taking the train back. Natsu whined all the way back home, Happy jumped from Natsus arms to Lucys lap in explanation that he didn´t want to get barf on him or be hugged to death.

"Not fair Happy." Natsu protested as he had fall down on the seats. "I´m not going to barf… that much."

Lucy just smiled, watched the sun rising over them. Tired from working the night but it was worth it when she could go home with her favorite people in the world. Or favorite human and his blue cat, to spell the truth.

Right now it felt like nothing could go wrong, they were so much stronger than this. They could get past these unsure feeling at each other. Not forced to destroy anything, because right now; nobody had to change or disappear…
