[Lucy's Bedroom]
"Ouch?" Lucy said to herself as she felt some hair spikes in her face as she opened her eyes.
She was lying in her bed under the blanket; she can see the touch of the sun from the sides of her closed windows.
"AHH?" she gave a short pause,
Her mood quickly changed as she remembered something.
The sun was just too bright even from a closed window, and as expected, it's almost noon.
Natsu and Lucy were supposed to meet at the station around twelve o'clock to attend a client meeting for a mission.
"NATSU! WAKE UP!" She shouted to the man next to her in the bed.
"HUH?!" he answered with his eyes half open.
"You're really noisy Lucy, even this early. Please go on a diet." Happy said as he was yawning and waking up from Natsu's side.
"SHUT UP YOU TALKING CAT!" She gave him her special Lucy Kick
"AAAAHHH! LUCY!" he shouted as he was blown out the window.
Yes, the window wasn't open, now it's still not open, but broken and got a hole in the middle shaped with an exceed figure.
Seeing that made her angrier. She admits she's not a morning person. Happy is probably trying to fly up the window again or more likely continued sleeping there. But right now, all she can pour this anger to is the pinky idiot beside her.
She completely forgot about the mission.
Lucy looked at him with her eyes blazed. It almost felt like she was a Natsu slayer and all this anger around her is the power she got from whoever creature may taught her to kill this pinky. She grabbed the vest this idiot always wears.
"ZZZZZZZ…..ZZZZZZ" Natsu continued snoring as if nothing happened,
"…." She continued to look at his drooling face with eyes burning
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ…ZZZZZ", Natsu continued
"…"
"BANG! CLOOGSH! SHAACK!" (P.S If no one noticed, this is supposed to be a sound effect of a natural disaster happening.)
"Aah (Sigh), Lucy is really self-conscious all the time!" Happy said with his arms crossed in his chest while flying back to Lucy's window.
He heard a big bang with a little shaking of the apartment to the ground; he's thinking maybe Lucy is beating Natsu up again. She's becoming really good in combat now, thanks to Natsu, her practice dummy.
"I'm so tired of this. Every time we wake up, this two doesn't even exchange "Good morning" with each other? They go straight to a brawl. They don't even prepare fish for me? "
Happy is now looking through the broken window while in the air. He sighed repeatedly thinking these idiots will never change.
"YOU IDIOTT! WHO TOLD YOU TO SLEEP HERE EVERY NIGHT?! HUH? I TOLD YOU TO GET OUT!" Lucy shouted as she threw Natsu against the wall,
"OH?!" he chuckled (Woken up completely) "Hey Lucy?! We're sparring again!? Come to me then!" he said cheerfully inviting her to a fight.
The two clashed against each other. Both are now in the floor. They immediately stood up to continue the fight,
Natsu tried to bend Lucy's body and Lucy strangled all his pink hair.
"YOU TWO! WE HAVE A MISSION TO ATTEND!" Happy shouted as he entered from the hole where he fits perfectly from Lucy's window.
Happy's shout snapped at Lucy and made her remember their mission. It's almost eleven thirty in the morning and she thought they were wasting time fighting for no particular reason.
After that, Lucy hurried and made some breakfast for the three of them. She told Natsu to take a bath while she makes the food. Natsu and Happy went to take a bath; Lucy finished cooking and so they ate together.
Seeing the three of them eating happily together made Happy thought, "Now they're both acting like nothing happened? Something is really fishy about these two?", "wait? Fishy? I love FISH!"
"You two go to the train station now okay, I'll take a quick shower and then I'll see you both there!" Lucy stated as she stood up to do the dishes,
"Wait, you can go now, I'll do the dishes. Hurry and finish your bath, we'll be waiting for you in the station", Natsu offered giving a big grin in his face.
They both agreed and continued on.
[Later on Magnolia Station - 11:55 AM]
It's a very hot day outside Magnolia. Team Natsu are now waiting for the train to come along.
"Natsu, it's just half an hour travel. I hope you'll be alright," Happy stated as he took a ride from Lucy's back.
Lucy looked at Happy sharing a sympathy glance, then she looked at Natsu "I'm sorry Natsu; we can't do anything about it, just bear with it okay?"
Natsu is still giving his puffed cheeks and I want to vomit expression in his face.
"So our client is Mr. Goldspin?" Lucy asked as she checked the job poster again.
"Yeah, he said we should walk to his house! It's good exercise!" Natsu convincing Lucy with fear covered in his face
"So, Mr. Goldspin wanted us to transfer something to a place in Crous Island?" Lucy asked Happy while completely ignoring Natsu who's now trying to dance in front of her just to make her say yes.
"I know where Crous Island is, it's located far east to Galuna Island!"
"Ah! So where our demon friends reside?! Should we go there first before going for the mission? Maybe we can ask them what's going on to the next island." Natsu continued from Happy's information.
"No! We need to meet the client first that's why we're taking the train!" Lucy interjected
"Why can't we just walk to Hargeon Town?!" Natsu suggested
Lucy's blood boils again. Looking at Natsu's stupid face is bothering her so much since a couple of days ago
She hit his head with her fist "we can't walk there because of a certain SOMEONE who got up so late and we need to meet him at noon and now it's already 5 minutes to 12! Whose fault do you think is that idiot?!" she explained while clenching her teeth
Both are now in an uproar
"They both woke up the same time?" Happy sighed seeing them again
"Now we're gonna miss our lunch! We can't eat anymore!" Natsu exclaimed while dodging Lucy's attacks
While she's trying to hit him with her special kick "You just ate breakfast you idiot! No more food for anyone of us!"
The three are now in an uproar. Including Happy
[Hargeon Town – Goldspin's Residence]
"WHAT?! 1,000,000 jewels?!" The three exclaimed as they were surprised for the sudden change for the reward of the mission while sitting in the dining area together with the client in his abode.
Lucy's face is now shining like a diamond. Happiness and evil-stench filled her aura.
"So that means 500,000 jewels for me and 500,000 jewels for you Happy! A-ha-ha! And the rest is for Natsu!" as she tried to act like a decent lady but ended up looking as an evil witch.
"Aye! That's right Lucy-sama! A-ha-ha! "as he imitates Lucy's fake good smile.
"You're a traitor Happy!" as he shook Happy convincing him to side with him again.
"Are you sure about giving this mission to these idiots Hans?" said the mid-30's lady standing beside the client's chair.
"I'm sure they'll figure something out. They're Fairy Tail after all!" he smiled to the lady before the client continued from where he left off,
The client is also in his mid-30. He is wearing a grey plain t-shirt matched with simple dark-blue pants. The lady standing beside him is his wife.
"I run a fairly successful flower shop so you don't need to worry if I can pay or not; I just need you to transfer this magic capsule to Crous Island in a shrine located in Mona Mountain and just leave it there or bury it if you want." he explained
"What's inside the capsule Goldspin-san?" Lucy tried asking
As soon as this question was raised the looks on the face of the client changed tremendously.
"There's a reason why we upgraded the reward for this mission,"
He convinced the little boy who's around 10 years old to come to his side who was watching from the door behind them.
He was a timid and very gloomy little boy with an expressionless face but Lucy can tell the fear hidden from this child.
"Come Mario-kun!" As soon as Hans called, the kid then sat on his lap and the client continued
"You need to take him as well and return him back here safely. That's all we ask of you Fairy Tail magicians. Please grant us this wish."
The client displayed his sincere intention. Clearly wanting the child to be back safely. His wife and the client bowed in front of the mages. Mixed emotions are floating in the air. It's almost saying not to ask any more questions and just do it. And the client's words hung in silence.
"Of course! That's a definite YES Goldspinster-san! We don't want to be called Fairy Fail after all! AHAHAHA!" Natsu gleefully accepted the task breaking off the silence.
"Natsu, its Goldspin-san! Not Goldspinster!" Happy corrected him.
"I guess you're Fairy Fail after all?!" Goldspin jokingly said
Natsu then diverted his eyes on the other direction of the room from embarrassment while giving off a timid smile.
"You can leave it to us! Goldspin-san!" Lucy stood up from her seat and bowed gracefully in front of the client.
"Please, just call me Hans" he smiled
The three are now preparing to leave.
Hans is now waving goodbye to Mario and the three mages as they wave back except Mario, who is now just looking straight to Hans without any touch of feelings shown in his face.
[Hargeon Port]
"Again?!" Natsu shouted with dismay as Lucy dragged him inside the small boat.
Like Galuna Island, there were no passenger ships that take the route to Crous Island as the island is practically abandoned and nobody lives there. They were able to convince one boatman for 70,000 jewels for a special trip.
"This just cost me one month of rent Natsu!" still dragging him to the boat.
Happy is following the two while he noticed Mario not moving at all.
"What's wrong Mario-kun?" Happy took a step back and asked the little kid.
"I'm.. I…" he hesitated to answer
"Don't worry! These two may seem stupid but they're quite good in what they do! You don't have to be afraid!" Happy convinced Mario "I'm here too!" he added with confidence
"It's not…It's not that. I'm just…" Mario was ceased from talking when Lucy tried to call them
"Happy! Let's go! And Mario-kun too" Lucy softly smiled at the two
"You're so mean Lucy! Don't be like that!" Happy said with teary eyes
"I'm not being mean at all you IDIOT!" with her eyes widened from Happy's comments
As the two are now arguing, Mario has been trying to say something
"I hate transportations!" Mario shouted with a bit of tears in his eyes making Lucy and Happy to stop their useless argument
"EEHHH?" The two exclaimed in chorus.
[Crous Island Bay – 2 hours and 45 minutes from Hargeon Port to Crous Island]
"Thank you Mr. Boat man! Please come back here tomorrow morning and we will pay you the jewels for now and the second trip!"
Lucy waved at the boat man as he sailed away waving back.
"Okay, now. Let's search for that shrine and wherever that Mona mountain is Happy!?" Happy looked at Lucy while she carried Natsu at her back. His eyes were still swirling and half unconscious from the surroundings.
Happy looked around from where he stood. All he sees is the vast clear blue ocean and the horizon at the end, on the other side, is a forest filled with grass and trees with a dark and foggy inside. While flying, he carried Mario who's condition is no different from Natsu.
"Wait, Happy, isn't it better if you'll carry Natsu? He's too heavy? And it's better for me to carry Mario-kun anyway since he's smaller!" Lucy demanded
"But I want you to suffer?" Happy simply tried to put on a cute and a sweet face completely defacing the fact that he just said something rude
"I... I... can't... hold it anymore!" as Natsu complained and giving in from the motion sickness from Lucy's back whose blood are now boiling
"But thank goodness you're back is so warm Lucy," Natsu tried to say the words even though he can't barely open his mouth from the sickness
"It's nice…" Lucy blushed from the words Natsu conveyed along with a little smile in his face signifying comfort right before he closed his eyelids completely
"She llllikes him!" Happy observed when he saw Lucy blushing
"Shut up!" while Lucy and Happy are having another useless argument they heard a big explosion coming from inside the forest but not far from the bay
"What was that Lucy?" Happy doubtingly asked as he felt danger coming their way
Before Lucy had any time to answer him, another explosion went off and it's coming closer to their direction
"Happy! Let's look for a place to hide from the explosions! Maybe someone is doing it or worse, maybe it's a volcano?" Lucy suggested while running towards a cave-shaped rock from the bay
"Let's put these two in a safe place first Lucy and then I'll fly high to see what's going on!" still in action, they managed to put Natsu and Mario in the rock as Happy flew and checked what caused the explosions
As he was trying to figure out what it was, he saw a man with a light grey-colored cape, with a lot of magical circles around him. Then Happy realized it was him causing all the explosions and danger, he quickly flew back to Lucy and others to tell them what he knew.
Natsu sensed the smell and the different aura; he forced himself to stand up and tried protecting everyone,
"Natsu! Are you okay now?" Lucy asked as she pulled his shoulders back to the cave,
"Yeah! I'm sorry for being out too long!" as he said it with a smile, Lucy was rest assured that Natsu is now capable of fighting
He saw all of the fire and explosion, it's still fairly far from them but it doesn't remove the fact that they may be in danger
"It was a man! He is a fire mage!" Happy revealed as he came closer to Natsu
"A fire mage? Is he another dragon slayer?" Lucy asked with a touch of fear in her voice
"We'll find out!" Natsu shouted as Happy flew him into the air
The explosions then went from fire to a liquid substance. It was like magma and boiling hot.
"What the? It turned to liquid Natsu!" Happy uttered the obvious words.
Natsu is now very concerned from what's happening. If the fire is in liquid form, will he be able to eat it?
