The Mission

The normally, warmly dressed water mage walked into the guild hall on a warm summer day. She merely wore a light green tank top and high-cut, blue-jean shorts. Her bright blue hair was pulled into a high ponytail, yet locks of her hair covered her shoulders. With a stretch and a smile, she walked over to the paper covered corner of the guild. Juvia stared ahead at the many requests on the job board until one of them with a hefty reward caught her eye.

"Wanted, water mage and dragon slayer. There is a small dragon's nest blocking our water reservoir from reaching our town. We are afraid a drought will fall upon our village. There are about 5 small dragons in the nest that we've seen. We're desperate! Reward: 2,000,000 jewel and a night in our warm lagoons."

"This is perfect! Gajeel-kun and Juvia can finally catch up if we take this job together! One million jewel each isn't bad either!" She said excitedly as she took it off of the board. She turned to the guild in search of her old friend. She dashed towards his usual spot only to find Levy reading.

"Levy, do you know where Gajeel-kun is?" She asked tentatively.

"Ah, you just missed him. He and lily went on a two-week training mission this morning," she replied as she glanced up from her book.

"Woah, Juvia! You look smokin' today girl!" Cana called as she sat across from Levy, booze in hand.

"I have to agree, it's not often we get to see you dressed like this," the other blue haired mage added.

"Thanks Levy-chan and Can-chan," Juvia replied with a shy stutter. She turned around in search of the female dragon slayer. Spotting her at the door, she called out to her.

"Wendy! Where are you going? Are you busy?" Juvia asked.

"Carla, Happy, Lisana, and me are going on a job to take care of some bandits that are terrorizing a town, and I'm heading home to pack," she answered, "why? What's up?" She asked with a smile.

"Oh, nothing, I was just going to see if you wanted to go on a job with me. I need a dragon slayer's help, but Gajeel is out with Lily." She answered with a hint of sadness in her voice.

"In that case, why don't you ask Natsu? He's been itching to get out, but Lucy wants to stay in the guild today. He's bored out of his mind," she chuckled.

"That's a good idea," she beamed. "Thank you, Wen-Chan!" She exclaimed before walking towards Natsu and Lucy.

"Come on, Lucy! It's the perfect day out for a job!" Natsu whined. His normal vest and pants swayed as he showed his restlessness while his scarf stayed in place around his neck.

"Natsu, we made plenty of money on our last job. My rent is covered for the next three months, and then some," Lucy replied. Her hair was pulled into a loose bun on top of her head. She wore a tight, royal blue T-shirt and a pair of tight, green shorts. "Let's just be lazy today," she yawned.

"Ngh! Okay, fine." The fire-dragon slayer turned to his left and saw Gray lazily sipping on iced beer, "Come on! Fight me, Gray!" Natsu wailed.

"Chill out, flame-brain," Gray commented as he threw ice and froze Natsu's fist. On such a hot day, as expected Gray was only in his underwear.

"Gray-sama! Don't hurt him! I need Natsu-kun's help today," Juvia commented as she rushed to stand between them. Natsu, confused, stepped forward as he melted the ice around his hand.

"My help? What's up, Juvia?" He asked.

"I was wondering if you would like to go on a job with me, Na-kun," she said as she turned to hold up the piece of paper with a sweet smile. Lucy eyed the piece of paper from behind, reading what she could.

"This is awesome! I get to fight dragons and we get to visit a lagoon? I'll go let Mira know!" He chirped with a wide smile as he snatched it from her and took it to Mira.

"Wait, why are you going with ash-breath? I thought you and I went on jobs together," Gray asked as he stood. Juvia smiler slightly as he walked closer to her.

"That is true, Gray-Sama. I originally picked this job for Gajeel and I, but since he wasn't here and Wendy is busy, I asked Natsu," Juvia explained.

"So, the job calls for a dragon slayer and a water mage?" Lucy asked.

"Yes, that's correct," Juvia answered. "Oh, I meant to ask, does Na-kun still suffer from motion sickness?"

"When has he not?" Lucy answered sarcastically. "Wendy's troya spell wont even work anymore."

"Have fun dealing with that," Gray chuckled.

"Juvia hopes Gray-sama isn't angry," Juvia said silently as she faced the ground.

"No, you can do what you want," he groaned before sitting in Natsu's previous spot murmuring about fire.

"Alright, Juvia," Natsu said as he came back, "Mira is going to call the village. It says only a few towns away, so hopefully the trains will treat me okay today," Natsu said as his cheeks tented with a nasty green and he held his stomach. "Let's meet at the station in an hour."

"That's fine with Juvia," she commented back.

"Bye guys!" He said before departing. Juvia chuckled before following him towards the door. She turned towards Gray and Lucy's table before passing through the door. She mouthed the words "love rival" towards Lucy before speaking.

"See you later, My darling!" She called to Gray before disappearing.

"This is weird," Lucy commented, as she turned her attention back to the table. She twirled one a strand of hair between her fingers.

"Yeah, fire and water don't mix," Gray commented as he froze and thawed his drink repeatedly. "I don't know how they'll get anything done when their magic will probably just cancel each other out." He grumbled.

"That's not what I meant. Natsu and Juvia going on a job alone together is weird," Lucy retorted, dropping the piece of hair and glancing forward at Gray.

"I agree," Gray added. "Have they ever been on a job, much less, worked together on a mission before?" He asked.

"Come to think of it, no. I don't think so," Lucy thought aloud. "Well, at least this gets Juvia off your back for a while, right?" She chuckled. Gray looked away as a small blush crept across his cheeks.

"I guess," he murmured.

"Natsu was supposed to go shopping with me today," she said with a stretch. "I needed help carrying my bags," Lucy groaned. "Gray, would you-"

"Not a chance," he said quickly as he stood. "I'm going out to grab some food. Later," he commented before leaving the guild.

Lucy sighed as she stood. She looked around the guild to find someone else she could use as a pack mule. The blonde mage supposed Natsu had forgotten their plans to go shopping, but disregarded it. 'He is kind of forgetful,' she told herself. She smiled when she spotted Cana and Levy across the hall. Sprinting towards them with a grin, she stopped at their table.

"Are you guys up for a little shopping trip?" She asked with her traditional Lucy smile.

"I thought Natsu was going with you," Levy pointed out.

"Juvia asked him to go with her on s job today, so no, he's not," she grumbled slightly.

"Sounds like someone's jealous," Cana said after she took a gulp from her mug.

"I am not, why would you say such a thing? They're just going on a job," Lucy huffed as her cheeks reddened slightly. "A job that is probably going to last three days," she mumbled to herself. "Do you guys want to go shopping or not?"

"Let's go buy slutty clothes and sexy underwear!" Cana hooted as she jumped from her seat.

"Aye, Sir!" Levy shouted as she followed Cana's lead. Lucy followed the two out of the guild. A grim smile on her face as she exited the doors.

"Stupid Natsu," She grumbled quietly as she followed the girls down the dirt path.
