Happy: Rose likes reviews...

Natsu: AYE!

Lucy: Rose-chan doesn't own Fairy Tail. But she owns the plot!

I wake up early, the sun is just starting to rise. I roll over and see Natsu beside me. I half grin and roll my eyes. Called it. I watch him for a bit, he winces in his sleep. He looks cute, like he's trying to think of something, but he can't remember. Quietly I slipped out of bed. I needed to go to the guild before I headed off to the train station. I had three days to reach our accommodation, plan attacks, cook for their arrival ect. I pull a brush through my hair, if they eat like Natsu, I'm gonna need all three days to cook! I pull my white shirt over my head. I had decided on more practical attire today. White shirt-not singlet-black pants running shoes, and a cloak master had insisted I wear while accompanying the Dragons. It was black, lined with gold, had a hood and fastened at my neck with a gold brooch. I had hope there would be a Fairy Tail mark on it somewhere, but there wasn't. Natsu snuffles in his sleep. An arm goes out and he feels the side of the bed were I was.

"Lucy…" He mumbles. "Where'd you go?" I place a pillow next to him and he snuggles next to it.

"Cute." I giggle. I write a quick note to him, so he doesn't think I've been kidnapped and go on a rampage or something.

Have gone already. See you soon, there is meat in the fridge, just don't eat it all.

-Lucy

I pick up my suitcase, slip my bag over my shoulder, fasten my belt and keys around my waist and head out the door. I lock the door-Natsu would use the window-and head off towards the guild. Technically the guild isn't open yet. But a member from the magic council was supposed to be there with master, for my briefing. It's not cold yet, but you can tell winter is coming, I walk along the edge of the river.

"That's dangerous Lucy-chan!" Calls the boatmen.

I notice that the water is reflecting the sun, rainbows bounce off the water surface and I smile. That must be a good omen, or something. I arrive at the guild, and sure enough the door is open. It surprises me that Mira is here so early in the morning.

"Good morning Lucy~" She trills. I have to laugh, unless she's in a Satan Soul form, she is always happy, but how can she be so cheerful so early in the morning?

"Hey Mira."

"Master's in his office~" She sings, all but skipping around. "The council member is there tooooo~" She drags out the 'o' and I smile.

"Thanks."

"I'll have a smoothie for you when you come back down okay!" Mira says brightly.

I nod. "Thanks, I forgot to eat." I ascend the staircase and knock twice on Master's office door.

"Come in Lucy." He says. I push the door open and inside there are five people; Master, that Lahar guy (the one who arrested Jellal), three guards and…

"MINERVA!" I shout. Instinctively I reach for Loke's key. Minerva grins and raises an arm.

"Don't." Says Lahar. "She's here for the briefing."

My eyes widen. "She's not going to is she?" I hiss, staring daggers at Master. How could he have failed to mention this? There was no way I would have gone if she was going too. Natsu will throw an absolute fit, when he sees her.

"Relax Lucy." Says Master. "She won't be going, but since member from her guild are going, on an extremely dangerous mission it's only natural that another know where they are going. In Fairy Tail, it's Levy and Mira."

"No-one else will be allowed to know. If they did it could case severe problems." Lahar interrupts. "It could compromise the mission entirely if positions were given away." I nod, at least she wouldn't actually be there.

"So," begins Lahar, "you might want to take a seat, this could take a while."

The only seat left is one beside Minerva.

"I'll stand." I say.

"You have been selected to accompany the Dragon Slayers in their mission. You are to ensure that they… Stay out of trouble." I notice particular emphasis is put on the last few words. "You duties include; Making sure they eat properly, overseeing their training, sending them to bed at appropriate times, ensuring they don't argue amongst themselves, that their injuries are treated ect. So, if this mission fails, the fault will fall to you."

I swallow the lump that had accumulated in my throat. Minerva smirks, no doubt she will give orders to the Dragon Twins to make my job especially difficult.

"Do you still want to participate?" I look at Lahar. Sometimes my pride got me into trouble, but today, it made me stronger.

"I am a Fairy Tail Wizard." I say proudly. "I will never turn my back on a job I have accepted."

Master nods approvingly, Lahar looks surprised but Minerva's eyes flash, the same way they did when I defied her during the Navel Battle. I grin. I will deal with the the Dragon Twins, I can't be that hard. I've just gotta show them who's boss. And I've got the perfect plan to do it.

Lucy is going up against the Dragon Slayers? What will happen to her? Read and review. Also check out my other stories and Review them too! Until Chapter Four, see you later. *Does Laxus's hand thing*
