Chapter 5-
Lucy was now moving on to her second job located in west Fiore in a village called Wimbourne. She met with the Mayor of the town Berlinice, who informed her of the mission ahead.
"Miss Heartfilia! Jude's daughter was it? Fairy Tail informed me only one mage would be taking on such a job so I sent out a request to another guild, Sabertooth it was! To help you out during this mission. Miss Heartfilia, I'd like you to meet Mr. Eucliffe and Mr. Cheney who will be joining you." finished the mayor.
"I believe we have already met Lucy Heartfilia." said a sly voice that was undoubtedly belonging to Sting Eucliffe, who had just entered the Mayor's office.
"We are acquainted ." replied Lucy.
"Good then you'll get along great! Now the reward can be split between you three evenly, I have upped the reward to a maximum amount of 200 000 jewel. All you have to do is report the cause of the disappearances, stop it and then return to me for your reward. Now then, there is an inn by the corner of Brower street you can stay in tonight, then your mission will start first thing tomorrow!" the mayor sat back down and shooed them from his office.
Lucy and the twin dragons nodded in reply and left his office. They headed down the street engaging in small talk that escalated quickly along the way,
"Lucy... You're a celestial mage like Yukino?" asked Sting,
"Yes,"
"I saw your fight with Flare, pity it didn't finish well." said Sting.
"Don't say that like you know what really happened Sting, I could have finished her..."
"What went wrong then ha?" he taunted,
"Raven Tail have a mage that can drain another's magical energy with discretion," she stated,
"Oh I see," said Sting, "Wish I could have seen the real damage that spell could have done."
"DO YOU WANNA FEEL THE DAMAGE IT COULD HAVE DONE?!" Lucy said with a fire in her eyes.
"Wanna go little blondie?!" Sting retorted.
"Calm down, we're here." Rogue interrupted.
Sting and Lucy stopped their argument and entered the inn calmly as Rogue requested. Rogue requested two rooms and then turned to Lucy.
"They only have two rooms left... And, this is the only inn in town." Stated rogue,
"You're kidding me!" Lucy whined.
The three mages headed to the remaining room to find a plain room with one double bed. Lucy claimed the bed and the twin dragons were left with the floor. Lucy went for a bath and left Sting and Rogue alone to talk in the main room.
"It's kind of like having Yukino back isn't it?" asked Sting.
"Does this mean you have a thing for Lucy to?" asked Rogue in return.
"I never said that." replied Sting.
"You didn't have to, you act the same way with her like you did when you were with Yukino."
"Tch, whatever." Sting said to Rogue.
Lucy came back out in her pajames and tucked herself into bed. Lucy had to admit that her and Sting fighting was a little like Gray and Natsu bickering when they went on jobs together. Lucy rolled over and her jaw dropped.
"STING, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED?!" Lucy shrieked,
"The floor is so hard and the bed is so comfy! Plus there is room for two!" Sting replied grinning ear to ear.
Lucy: "LUUUUUUUCY KICK!"
Sting: "OOOouuuch!"
Rogue: "Cut it out I'm trying to sleep!"
Sting: "That hurt!"
Rogue: "You asked for it."
Lucy: "Sting you're no better than Natsu!"
Sting: "How is Natsu involved in this?!"
Lucy: "Natsu always breaks into my house and- ehh nevermind! Why am I even telling you this?!"
Sting: "And what?! Tell me!"
Rogue: "I said cut it out!"
Sting: "Not until Lucy tells me what Natsu did!"
Rogue: Sigh, "Just tell him what Natsu did."
Lucy: "No! It's none of his business."
Sting: "Says she who brought it up."
Rogue: "Just tell him Lucy or I swear I'll-"
Lucy: "Fine. Natsu always breaks into my house and sleeps in my bed."
Sting: "He liiiiiiikes you!"
Lucy: "Don't roll your tongue like that!"
Rogue: "Just go to sleep!"
The three finally got some sleep and woke early the next morning to commence the mission.
