"That isn't true!" Lucy heard Misa screech from downstairs. She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Come on, I saw you glomp him yesterday!" Dan yelled. She grabbed her notebook and backpack, then walked downstairs.

Laxus was sitting at the island in the kitchen, his face in his hands. Misa was blushing while glaring at Dan, who had a smirk on his face. Michelle was standing there like nothing was happening.

"You guys ready?" Lucy asked, grabbing an apple. Dan and Michelle were actually twins, both seniors, so they had to go to school with Lucy.

"Lucy!" Dan cheered, jumping on her. Misa smacked his head.

"Idiot! I thought we discussed this yesterday!" Misa yelled.

"But I don't care if she knows the worst part of my day!" Dan whined.

"Think about Lucy for a minute!" Misa scolded him. "Do you think she wants to see the worst thing that will happen to anyone she touches within the next twenty-four hours? Does that seem fun to you? She has enough trouble with seeing people die!"

"Misa, it's alright," Lucy said, trying to calm her down. "I don't mind, as long as the person knows. Laxus and I touch all the time."

"Whatever," Misa mumbled, crossing her arms, hating that she was wrong.

"L-Lucy?" Michelle asked quietly. The blonde hummed and looked to the brunette. "Someone knocked on the door." With all the yelling, no one even heard it.

"Time to go!" Lucy announced. Dan and Michelle grabbed their empty backpacks and followed her to the door. She opened the door, revealing Natsu and Gray. Natsu had a grin on his face while Gray was on his phone. He looked up to her and smiled.

"Oh, it's you again," Dan said, crossing his arms.

"Aw, do you feel threatened?" Laxus teased.

"We better get going!" Dan quickly said. He gently pushed Lucy and Michelle out the door, leaving Laxus and Misa laughing.

"Smooth," Lucy laughed. Dan glared at her. She realized that Natsu had no idea who they were. "This is Michelle and Dan, my cousins," she introduced her friends. She realized she told Gray they were her friends, but he didn't notice the error. "And this is Natsu and Gray."

"H-hi!" Michelle stuttered, a blush on her face. She thought Gray and Natsu were very attractive. She didn't really get a good look at Gray the night before.

When they all got to school, they went straight to the student council room. Michelle was surprised. All of the girls were gorgeous, and all but one of the guys were handsome. She wasn't too sure about the guy with long hair and piercings. He looked more scary than anything.

"Lucy, will you take this to Makarov?" Erza asked, extending a folder, not looking up at the blonde. Lucy quickly grabbed it and went to the office.

"Don't ask things like that!" Lisanna exclaimed, entering the room behind Mira. Mira was smirking, while Lisanna's whole face was red.

"What did she ask you?" Loke asked. Mira was going to answer, but she decided to ask who the two new people were first.

"My name is Michelle Straight, and this is my twin, Dan," Michelle introduced, bowing.

"And who is this beauty?" Dan asked, instantly in front of Lisanna, holding her hands.

"My girlfriend," Natsu said, pulling Dan away.

"That's okay," Dan said, trying to act cool. "I'll just wait for Lucy." Just as he spoke, she entered the room. He ran over and hugged her. The second he did, her face turned beat red. She shrieked and pushed him away, dropping to her knees. She covered her face with her hands, attempting to hide her blush.

"Are you okay?" Michelle asked, kneeling beside her. Lucy nodded and stood up again.

"Sorry, I was just surprised," she said. She looked over and saw Gray looked at her with concern. She blushed again. She pulled Michelle closer and whispered something in her ear. The brunette giggled in response. "It's not funny!"

"But that's just like Dan," Michelle giggled.

Lucy tried to shake the thought out of her head, but it just kept coming back. When she touched Dan, she saw Gray coming over for get help for the math test he would have the next day. When he was about to leave, he was about to kiss her. It was obviously bad for Dan, since he liked Lucy. Luckily, he gets between them. She was just hoping that didn't actually happen.

"Are you ready for the math test tomorrow?" Natsu asked Gray.

Lucy cringed at the thought. She liked Gray, but she just couldn't.

Lucy tapped her foot harder against the floor as she looked at her notebook. She decided to eat in the student council room. She has long forgotten her vision with Dan earlier that morning. Right now, she needed to figure out what to. Natsu was next on her list.

"You managed to get Jellal, so what's the problem?" Dan asked, twirling a pen, sitting on a desk across the room.

"But I knocked him unconscious," Lucy reasoned.

"Why can't you do that with Natsu?" he asked. He stopped twirling his pen and looked over to her.

"She can't knock everyone out," Michelle said. She was sitting beside Lucy. They were no others in the room.

"Jellal was easy, but Natsu is different," Lucy said. She leaned back and sighed. "I'm not really friends with Jellal, but I am with Natsu."

"Just do it," Dan snapped. Lucy flinched. "This is your job. Just suck it up and do it."

"Dan-"

"No, he's right," Lucy interrupted Michelle. "I just shouldn't have gotten close to them."

"I'm sorry," Michelle said. She started to cry. "I know how hard this is on you."

"I've been doing this since I was fourteen," Lucy said. "No use crying over it now."

"But you can never kiss the one you love without being pained," Michelle continued to cry.

"That's not true," Dan said. "She already knows that I will die of old age, so nothing to cry about."

"That's not funny," Lucy said. "Don't joke about death. Ever."

"Yeah, you should have some respect," Michelle said, drying her tears. She was done crying. "You know how tough it is being her. She has to kiss babies and old people, seeing how they each die. That's a heavy burden."

"I couldn't do it," Dan said. He shivered. "I would have to kiss guys."

"Kissing girls isn't bad," Lucy said. "It's just as bad as kissing a little kid. The bad part is when they struggle and cry. Everyone looks at me like I'm a creep. Having to leave an area because so many people know me as the one that kisses everyone, knowing me as a slut and whore. The old people who judge you. The young teens who get their first kiss stolen. Never having a meaningful one of your own." She had to stop talking because she was crying.

"Lucy," Dan chocked out. He wished he could hug her, but he knew that wouldn't help any.

He could remember the first time he met Lucy. She was fourteen, and just joined the DPA, Death Protection Agency. His parents were members, so he was always hanging around, learning the ropes, since he would join soon enough. At that point, the company just went around and helped people who wanted to kill themselves or others. Since he was a young boy, he heard about the girl that would join when she accepted herself. They would talk about her being the hope of the DPA.

When he first entered the conference room, he was more than shocked. He saw the most beautiful girl. The only flaw was the tears streaming down her face. She was typing something onto a laptop. He noticed a bunch of people in the room, all the other members. One of them went up to her. Then she kissed him. She would type something into the computer, then kiss the next person. When it was his turn, he was really nervous. Everyone told him she would say how he would die. He was honestly afraid of her. They also said she could see the worst part of everyone's day, just by touching them. When she kissed him, he felt nothing but guilt. When when she let him go, she said he would die in a car crash. But after they prevented that a year later, she checked again, and said he would die of old age.

After that, she met Laxus. They were instant friends. They became partners and traveled around. They were given special missions. They would go to an area, get a few different lists of names, figure out how they die, then report back. After they got a bunch of people from an area, they moved on. He was told that after five years, they would repeat the areas. They really wanted her to figure out how babies die, because they have the most potential in life.

"I want to do this today," Lucy said, stopping Dan's thoughts.

"How about we send him down?" Michelle asked. "You'll be in the room alone."

"That'd be great," Lucy said, faking a smile.
