Well, here we go!
Chapter 1: A New Job
Lucy Heartfilla sighed with boredom at another day wasted doing nothing. Normally, her teammates and her would find some kind of job in some random town and would have been halfway destroying it at the moment. But her teammates were all in their own little world as well. Natsu Dragneel, her best friend in the entire guild, took his little blue talking flying cat, Happy, fishing somewhere in the Eastern Forest.
Erza Scarlet, one of the closest girl-friends she ever had, was talking with her longtime childhood friend, Jellal a few seats away from Lucy. She was dressed in only a knee long blue skirt and white blouse.
Gray Fullblaster was taking a nap without a shirt on one of the benches across the guild with his head resting on his stalker's lap. (Lucy could tell Juvia wasn't even breathing. Probably in fear of waking him up with a simple quiet breathe of air.)
What Lucy was really confused about, though, was why Jellal Fernandes was at Fairy Tail at the moment. Sure, they owe it to him for helping them out in the Grand Magic Games but this is new. Erza was so happy, she even hugged him when he appeared at the door.
Lucy smiled sweetly, They're so cute together. If only he wasn't engaged.
The whole guild was surprised when they first heard the news. Erza, somehow, just smiled and answered, "I bet she's beautiful. Congrats, Jellal."
But deep down, Lucy knows that she must be hurting. Erza did say something about him saying that he loved her onceā¦
That's none of your business, the blonde scolded herself.
The celestial spirit magician decided to at least try to find a job in town that she could do on her own to be able to pay her rent. She made her way to the request bored and scanned it for anything cheap and interesting.
"What's this?" she asked herself when her eyes fell on a request form with a beautiful drawing of some kind of building she's never seen before.
Her eyes travelled down the bottom of the page and then widen.
"E-Erza! G-Gray!" stammered Lucy calling her teammates. "Come and look at this!"
Gajeel was passing by Gray sleeping when he heard Lucy call the sleeping ice-maker. He reached out and slapped his comrade across the face, resulting in him jolting up, surprising Juvia and making her jump.
Gray rubbed his cheek and glared at his guildmate, "What the hell, Gajeel?"
"Lucy's calling you," replied the Dragon Slayer, coolly before heading over to where a blue-headed girl reading a book.
Gray pouted before standing up and stuffing his hands in his pockets. He thanked Juvia for the cushion before heading over to Lucy, who still was staring at the request without blinking.
Erza was on his tail and the two looked at their teammate.
Gray started talking, his voice hinted he was still somewhat asleep, "What is it, Lucy?"
"Check this job out," Lucy said, without taking her eye off the poster.
"What job is it?" Erza asked, gently taking the paper away from the blonde.
Her eyes, too, widen when she looked at the prize money.
"T-ten million jewels?!" the red head stammered.
It was Gray's turn to wonder. He took the paper from the Fairy Queen.
"That's a lot of change," he smirked. "But what's something like this doing down here anyway. A job with this much jewels as a reward would definitely be an S Class mission."
"Why don't you guys read what the job is first?" the blue-headed magician showed up behind Erza, scaring all three.
Gray cleared his throat before starting:
'Greetings the Fairy Tail Guild in the Magical Land of Fiore,
'My name is Mr. Josh Hughes and I am the principal of a high school here in Los Angeles, California in the United States of America. You must be wondering, what exactly did I just say? Just go ahead and ask you master, I'm pretty sure he will be able to explain to you what Los Angeles, California and The United States of America is.'
"'Now, onto my job. You must also be wondering, why I am willing to pay ten million jewels for this job, well, if you are able to come to my school and attend it for at least of year, the ten million jewels are as good as yours. Don't worry, not the 365 days of a year but nine to ten months.'
'I need at least four young wizards here to help me raise populations. This will be the only time I'm asking you to send me the hottest girls your guild has and the cutest boys for West High School and to earn one of the best reputations among all schools in America! '"
'Thank you very, very much Fairy Tail. I will be forever in your debt!'"
Gray paused before he saw a little note and continued:
"'P.S: Please no display of magic on or off campus or in the general public. I don't want you getting in trouble. I will be paying for your apartments and weekly food but if you want your own spending money, Fiore has set up a small bank here for you to trade in jewels for American dollars.'"
Lucy, Erza and Jellal blinked, taking in the information.
"Sounds easy enough," Lucy sighed, "But away from this guild for ten months, that's going to kill something."
"I think we'll be able to manage," Gray glanced down at the drawing of a building, "No magic means we might not have to pay for any damage done."
Lucy argued, "Isn't that another low point? No magic for ten months!"
"Only if you're in public," answered the ice wizard. "It's much easier than all the other jobs we've taken in the past."
"Fullblaster has a point," supported Jellal, "At least none of you will be in danger. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if anything happened to Erz- uh- anybody."
Gray didn't notice the slip of the tongue but the girls did. Lucy smirked when she saw Erza's cheek slowly turn the same color as her hair.
"So are you in or out?" asked Gray. "I'm taking it and might as well gather other people if the rest of our team's not in."
Lucy smiled, "I'm in. Ten million jewels and all we have to do is act cool."
"Awesome," Gray high-fived the blonde before turning to Erza. "What about our great Titania? She in or out?"
Erza had her eyes closed and arms crossed. She was thinking really hard but when Gray asked her, she opened her right eye. With a sigh followed by a smile, she answered, "I'm in."
"Great!" Lucy gave her guildmate a hug. She looked over Erza's shoulder and saw Jellal's face. It held a sad expression as he looked at his feet.
Lucy knew why.
"But first there are a few things we need to do before we leave," Erza said. "First off, what is 'America?'"
"I think we can ask Master about that," Gray replied.
"Second," she held up two fingers, "we leave in three days. Giving us time to pack and at least say good byes to the rest of the guild."
Her teammates nodded and she continued, "Third, Lucy will tell Natsu about the mission and its conditions."
Lucy was about to protest but kept her mouth shut. She knew better than to go against the great Titania Erza Scarlet's commands, even if they are close.
"And forth," she sucked in a breath, "What the heck is high school?"
