Hey My Beautiful Little Strawberry Smutcakes! Sooo, been hooked on a new t.v. series called Fairy Tail and I am ever-loving of Lucy's character, she is just a ball of sassy indirect goddess, and so I love this story because it gives her the power, even though, lets face it, she would hate it. Anyways, so I don't get sued:
DISCLAIMER: OUT OF THE SAD REGRET THAT I DON'T OWN THESE HELLA SEXY CHARACTERS, I CAN'T SAY I OWN THEM OR THEY ARE MINE.
DISCLAIMER: I GOT THIS IDEA (ALTHOUGH IT IS DIFFERENT) FROM Tottenham Hotspur, (I ONLY USE ONE OF THEIR CHARACTERS.)
Lucy's P.O.V.
Aw, Saturdays, the best day ever right? Well, that's what I thought, until a batshit crazy old lady came up to me and started to thrust a key into my hands. At first I thought it was a celestial key, but upon closer inspection, it was a copper gate key to no particular spirit, it only had a small transparent gem in the handle.
"Yes, it is a celestial key, actually," She practically spat at me. "You will need to start training with her immediately, you can't tell any of your friends they will get sidetracked and keep you from your goal. Especially that little slimeball Natsu, you'll get better than him don't worry," the hooded old lady said as she hobbled away, muttering curses under her breath.
I looked around dumbfounded, did anyone see that or am I going crazy? I looked down, in my palm was the copper key and a crumpled up piece of paper.
I slipped them both into my skirts pocket, waiting until I got home to read the letter.
I continued on my path, making my way to the guild. Once I got there I told myself to not get sidetracked by Natsu or Gray's fighting. Or let Erza drag me into the large booth that always held dozens of cakes.
I instead walked right up to the bulletin board, hoping that there was a suitable job for me, and me alone. Don't get me wrong, I love my team, but I barely covered rent with the last job, nearly all of our large reward went to rebuilding the town.
I searched the large board, trying to find anything that won't get me killed. The only one like that was a low-paying job where I just have to go dig a moat around some castle for a child's birthday party company.
I sighed and yanked it off of the board.
I slumped my shoulders and shuffled over to Mira.
"Hey, where's the master? I need to get the paperwork done for this."
Mira smiled her model smile and pointed.
"Is it just you and Natsu or the whole team?" She asked, wiping off a spot of spilt beer.
"Just me, I'm afraid one of them will go insane and destroy the town," I said weakly, trying start on the long walk to the edge of town.
"Oh, well, I'll make sure not to tell them, and I won't hold you up, if you walk fast enough you can make it back by tonight."
I smiled and slunk my way to the corner of the nearly full guild.
"Hey master, can I do this job?" I solemnly asked him, wanting to hurry.
"Yeah, just go in my office and I'll be there in a second."
I turned and huffed a little, I knew it was getting late, but, if I rush the master then he'll make me do it pro-bono. I sat in the huge and fluffy chair, humming a song in my head.
20 minutes later:
I was basically sprinting as I made my way through the sunsetting town. I could see a tall man in a black suit, his dark blue hair reminding me of Gray. I stopped a couple feet in front of him.
"Hello, I'm Matthew, and you are?"
"Lucy," I sputtered out, embarrassed that I could barely breathe.
"Perfect, we mapped out where we want the moat, you can just follow the lines. We would like it to end up being around 25 feet deep."
I nodded and pulled my key off of the chain. Open, gate of the virgin, Virgo.
"You called, Mistress?" She said in such a sugary sweet way that it made me want to just tell her to go back and rest.
"Yes, I need you to dig a moat, just follow the lines, and about 25 feet deep."
She nodded and started to get to work.
"Ah, a celestial wizard, I should have known, I was wondering what they were thinking, only sending one wizard to dig an entire moat," Matthew said, walking towards me.
"Yeah, hey, why are you wearing a suit? You knew you'd be by a dirty castle moat. He nodded and scratched his chin thoughtfully.
"I'm actually going to a gala and don't have time to change."
"Oh, what for?"
"Nothing, just some gala my brother invited my wife and I to, wow, she works fast," he said, glancing at the almost completed moat. I nodded as an uncomfortable silence fell over us. We watched Virgo and waited, it seemed like it took forever for her to finish.
"Well, thank you for coming to my rescue Lucy."
"Yeah, thanks for the money," I giggled as Virgo waltzed over to us.
"Well ladies, have a good day."
We gave our thanks and turned to walk away.
"Goodbye mistress, although I do wish you would punish me, I must go," Virgo said as she poofed back to the celestial world.
I rubbed my eyes before slipping off another key. Open, gate of the southern cross, Crux. The silver Cross appeared, looking rather energized.
I pulled the one thing out of my pocket that has been on my mind since this afternoon. the copper key.
"Is this a celesitial key?"
Crux closed his eyes for a second, "yes."
"Why is it copper?"
He closed his eyes for a couple minutes, "It is what many recently thought to be an extinct race."
I looked down in confusion, "what do you mean? Celestial spirits can't go extinct."
He looked at me for a moment, "I never said they were spirits, they are a race, they use an adaption of celestial key made specifically for their dimension."
"What race are they?"
"I'm not sure if you would like to know miss Lucy."
I glared at him for a moment, but not too long, I felt immediately bad afterward.
"Please just tell me."
"They are the dragons that taught the dragon slayers."
What do ya think? P.S. If you're going to say something negative, at least put some constructive criticism.
