A/N: Sorry for the delayed update...And this short chapter. I actually decided to cut some of it out to use for a whole different chapter later on because it was wayyyyyyy too long, so, here this is! :D Thanks to all for the reviews and such! They really gave me the feeling of need to continue this, which I shall :D!
Anywayssss ONWARD!
Disclaimer: No….I don't own anything, I'm not that awesome v.v booo.
Lucy was getting used to waking up every morning to the bright sun blinding her tired brown eyes through her slightly cracked window from last time Happy and Natsu were playing here. But at times, when she had to get up before that sun could reach her thin eye lids, let's just say she wasn't what you call a morning person. Currently the sound of her alarm clock by her bed was going off in a continuous buzz telling her it was five in the morning, the time she had set for waking up, and she needed to get ready to meet everyone for the mission today at the guild. If only her room hadn't still been pitch black, and then maybe she wouldn't have been thinking so glumly.
"Ughhhhhhhhhhh…." A long tired moan erupted as she brought a pink ruffled pillow to put over her face to help shield the sound of the alarm clock. Sadly, it still managed to penetrate through the fabric wall.
'Why. Why did Erza have to make it so early?' She mentally cursed herself regretting coming late to the Guild yesterday, hence missing the other job opportunity. Shed much rather do something like the originally planned out selection in the evening than have to get up super early like this.
"Stupid idiotic strict people that want to schedule missions so early in the stupid morning messing with my stupid sleep. Since when were we in stupid school again and had to get up this damn stupid early? If they even went to school! I should ask Natsu what two plus two is. I BET HE'LL SAY FIVE." She growled into the pillow, her voice growing louder and louder in a muffled sound. Did I mention she really wasn't a morning person?
Having enough with the alarm sounding off at a constant buzz she gave up her stubbornness and slammed her hand multiple times onto her wooden nightstand breaking and knocking off a few items in the process, until she hit the turn off switch found on the top of her red beeping clock. Slowly and regrettably, she rose in her bed taking as much time as it could possibly take. A hinge of her still tired face could barely be seen from the glow of the full moon light outside. Procrastinating, she got out of the safe and warm bedstead and pulled the covers back up to make it neat again, arranging the pillows at the top perfectly after, even going through the hassle of fluffing them.
Her trying so hard to prefect something like this meant that she really wasn't looking forward to the day ahead.
Really wasn't.
Glancing at the thankfully glow in the dark clock she saw the time was five twenty. Remembering what Erza said, she had to be at the Guild at six aclock' sharp. So that gave her ten minutes to eat and ten more to get her small amount of things packed and the rest was for running as fast as she could towards the Guild to get there early. That would work. Sighing she went over to her refrigerator and pulled out some milk for a bowl of Lucky Fairy cereal, gobbling it all up unenthusiastically. After getting it all put into her stomach, not wanting to remake yesterdays random faint attack, she cleaned up after herself putting the dirty dishes into the sink and put her outfit she had picked out yesterday for today on. It was her normal signature blue skirt and white top set, including her blue bow to fit it all. Hey, Fairy Tail needs to retain an image, even though half the people in the Guild could care less about image. Then they wonder why they don't get their own action figures based on themselves. Checking the clock one more time she picked up her small bag that shed throw with Erza's load of things, her whip, and hooked her keys onto her belt then went out the door, after locking it of course. Though past episodes show it doesn't take much to break into a house spotlessly if someone really wanted to…Maybe she should get an electric security panel for her front door!
..Ehh…That wouldn't work.
Who uses doors anymore anyways?
Meanwhile
"I don't think Lucy should come if she's ill like you said she was." Erza said, sounding slightly concerned for the girls well being, while still managing to shift her focus starring at her "breakfast" which consisted of a piece of raspberry cheese cake.
"Yeah…" The ice mage agreed while making various shapes out of a piece of ice, entertaining his self.
"You guys are full of crap! Lucy is perfectly fine. Loke said it was just because she didn't eat when I dropped by to check to see if she was alright!" Natsu said annoyed they were saying Lucy shouldn't come.
"Aye!" Happy said smiling while sitting on Natsu's shoulder, looking as if he was still sleeping on it. The three were the only ones in the Guild yet probably because it was so early.
"Perhaps then maybe I should give Lucy my breakfast…" The scarlet beauty sugjested still starring at her food.
"But, of course I need breakfast too." On that quick note she started chopping into her cake with her silver excuipted fork.
Silent sweat bubbles fell from both of the other boys heads at the sight.
Cheese cake really was Erza's weakness.
"Oh, Lucy's coming!" Natsu said suddenly shifting his eyes to stare at the entrance in anticipation.
"How do you know that flame brain? There's not even a sign of her yet!" Gray said rolling his eyes.
Natsu glared at him.
"Oh really? So you're saying she's not about to walk in that door as soon as I finish this sentence?" The boy said bringing his hand up to his mouth subsiding a chuckle.
"Ye-,"Gray was cut off by the sound of a familiar hello coming from Lucy's mouth. That idiot was right.
"Hey guys! You're all here? ALREADY? Ack, don't tell me I'm late!" The blonde started to worry at that thought and the fact Erza was ignoring eye contact made that feeling more intense, not knowing it was out of guilt for not at least sharing her breakfast with the blonde.
"How did you do that?" Gray asked dumbfounded of how Natsu knew she was coming.
"Lucy smells like cherries." The pink haired boy said grinning at his victory.
"Cheater!" The other spat, slamming his hands on the table.
"What are you two fighting about already so early in the morning?" Lucy scolded pointing a finger at them.
"Lucy, are you sure you're alright to go on the mission?" Erza said sternly looking up at her, her guilt still heaved into her glare.
"Eh? Why wouldn't I be?" The other girl replied confused.
"I heard you fainted yesterday, and I was just thinking-" She was cut off by loud overpowering rambling.
"OH THAT! O-Ha ha ha ha! Silly me, I forgot to eat a proper breakfast that day! That's all! No need to worry, I ate today so it should be fine! O-ha ha ha ha!" She waved her hand as if to just let it go then deciding to change the subject when everyone was looking at her funny.
"Soo, when are we leaving?" The blonde asked.
Erza got up from her sitting spot and began walking out the doors.
"Now." She said sternly. As if on command everyone shot up from their seats and ran to catch up to the girl.
After little bit of walking a question popped up.
"So how long of a walk is this place?" Natsu said excitingly readying his pace to be slightly ahead of Gray's walking with his arms behind his neck.
"Angolia Village? Are you kidding? It would take four days at least for us to get there by foot!" Gray replied, endorsing Natsu's biggest fear/ weakness.
"So…Does this mean…-" The peachy haired teen ran to the nearest trash can at the arrived train station.
"Jeez, were not even on board yet and you're already puking!"
"This proves that idiot has to have Hypochondria. There is no other explanation as to why he always forces himself to think he's going to die when he uses transportation and gets sick just from thinking about it, but yet can ride Happy a hundred miles an hour with no side effects." The ice mage said annoyed. Lucy and Erza nodded their heads in agreement after Natsu walked back up to them, probably after puking his guts out before he got on board.
"We should ask Wendy if she has a cure for it when she comes back from her mission with Juvia and Elf Man. By the way, did anyone else notice what a weird team pair up that is?" Lucy said amongst everyone while they seated down in their own private room on the train after handing in their riding tickets, and putting their large luggage into the other part of the train car. Erza took Natsu off her shoulder and threw him onto one of the seats, lifting his head to lay on her lap. Gray shivered from the sound of Juvia's name. After she tried some freaky voodoo doll technique that Bixlow provided the utilities for on him, the young man just couldn't stand being within a twenty feet radius of her without getting the feeling he was about to be manipulated somehow with some kind of spell against his will. He can't even bring himself to drink something around her anymore.
"Well, I personally love that new team." He said, his face turning ice pale just thinking about the woman. Lucy, noticing his discomfort decided it was time for a little teasing.
"Oh Gray, that's such a cruel thing to say! Especially since well, ya' know you and Juvia have…A thing."
She winked at him and snickered to herself at her comment.
"Really? Is this true Gray? Why is it I didn't hear about this?" Erza said suddenly feeling left out. Gray stared at the blonde twitching and glaring mercifully as she just stared back with an ornery look, sticking her pink tongue out at him.
"Because. *breath* It's not. *Breath*….True." You could obviously tell the man was trying to control his temper, making the room cold in the process.
"Ugh- Lies…." The lifeless anti transportation guy mumbled. At least he was conscious and aware for the time being.
Lucy couldn't hold back her laughter anymore after that as Erza stared confused at her. Gray said nothing and instead just sat there taking in deep breathes until it was painfully obvious he had fallen asleep, obvious being he started to snore.
…Loudly.
'It's weird someone's actually attempting to hold back their temper…' Lucy thought, silently regretting teasing Gray...But it was just so funny, and he made it so easy!
And anyways, if HE could sleep there's no reason she couldn't. Looking over at Erza she figured the girl wouldn't mind and she slowly shut her eyes, engulfing herself into the sweet essence of sleep.
