CHAPTER 1: URBANE MAGAZINE

Urbane Magazine is a emerging magazine company, headed by their CEO/editor-in-chief Mirajane Strauss.

"Lucy!", called Levy, Mirajane's secretary, "Miss Strauss is now ready to see you", she said to the head writer signaling her to go inside the office.

"Thanks Levy" Lucy replied as she entered the room.

While inside the office, Lucy saw that it was not only Mirajane who us inside, but a tall, blone, muscular man is sitting on one of the chairs in dront of the CEO's desk.

"Lucy, this is Mr. Laxus Dreyar" Mirajane said while Lucy anf the man shook hands, "he is the owner of Dreyar Pub downtown, they want us to feature their pub in our next issue, so I want you to write an article and do the interview".

Lucy was confused, normally, their boss would not let anyone who suddenly come and ask for a publicity article, for Mirajane was known to be very strict and was soneone who cannot be ordered around. Lucy just smiled and said, "Nice to meet you Mr. Dreyar, so how do you want to publicize your business?"

Then Laxus told her that he want to biuld up their image more to attract more customers because there was a newly opened club near his establishment, and he thinks that it will affect his business. Then they started planning everything they would be needing for the coverage.

Meanwhile, at a nearby coffee shop, a scarlet haired woman was in a hurry, ordering her coffee and had it for take out. "Here you go Erza", the barista said, "Cafe Latte with 50% sugar and extra shot of espresso"

"Thank you, Natsu", Erza Scarlet said as she took the cup and turned around to leave. She did not know that someone was standing close behind her and woth this, the coffee spilled on her arm and the floor.

"Oh my God!", she shouted while glaring at the man, "What the F are you doing standing so close behind me?! look what you've done!"

The man was wiping her arms while apologizing "I am so sorry, I didn't mean to...please let me buy you a new drink".

"Hey what happened?" Natsu said as he went out of the counter and checked on them, "Luckily you bought iced coffe today Erza, well look on the bright side, you did not get burned"

Erza rolled her eyes on Natsu. then turning back her glare to the man who was still wiping traces of coffee from her arm "You can keep your coffee, I don't need it"j she said as she stormed out of the coffee shop.

The man was watching her as she walked away, unable to say more.

"Hey Gray", Natsu said to the guy, "I'm betting that thus will not be your lucky day"

Gray Fullbuster twitched his eyebrow to his roommate, "and how is that? Cana told me last night that this will be my lucky day, and here you are, saying the opposite".

"How can you believe that woman, is she even a legitimate fortune teller", he said sarcastically pertaining to their bartender friend, "well anyway, that woman you just spilled coffee on to is the field manager of Urbane..."

Silence struck Gray as he just realized something.
"You would be working with her" Natsu teased, "that is if you get the job"

Gray hit his friend in the head "well i guess I should start ordering cafe latte 50% sugar with extra shot of espresso then"

"You think she will accept that peace offering? haha" Natsu laughed as he went back behind the counter
