Lucy is on her way home from the guild. she has a strange feeling that she is being watched. And it is just not a feeling she is being followed by a hooded man. She tries to run but the hooded man stopped her in her tracks and takes off his hood. Her father is there. He tells her that he lost everything, and the man she once knew was no more. Lucy asks about her mother's grave but her father answered that he moved it to another location, one that discloses to Lucy. He starts laughing.

Lucy asks him why he is here, he replies that he wanted to see his daughter he also says that he is going to start from the beginning and he asks Lucy for 100,000 Jewel to travel to Alcalypha so he could work at a merchant guild there. Lucy says that she doesn't have that kind of money and her father yells at her telling her that she is in a guild and she should have that kind of money. Lucy reminds him of the time she returned home, and told him that she had nothing to do with wealth and fortune. She tells him to do the same and orders him to leave her alone.

Lucy gets to her apartment and in front of her home she sees Natsu and Happy "Sergeant Happy, everything seems normal here" Natsu told him saluting

"Aye, sir!" Happy answered

"Welcome home, Lucy" Natsu said

"Lucy, there's no one suspicious here!" Happy reported

"Thanks..." Lucy replied giving them a weak smile

"Captain this private seems to show no grattitude!" Happy said

"Why am I a private?" Lucy asked

"Seems like it" Natsu answered Lucy walks past him "Everything okay Lucy?" Natsu and Happy notice a figure hiding in the background

Lucy turns around "Don't tell me he's..."

Happy flies over to where the figure was hiding "Captain! i see a questionable suspect!"

"I got you now!" Natsu said jumping on the figure

"That hurt, you jerk!" Snow growled

"What are you doing here white haired freak?" Natsu asked angrily

"Snow!" Lucy comes up to see what the problem was all about

"So it was Snow that was stalking Lucy!" Happy said

"N-No it wasn't.." Lucy started to say

"No! i heard someone was following Lucy so i came to make sure she got home alright" Snow told them

"He lllllikes her!" Happy teased

"I do not!" Snow shouted

"Is stalking girls really your thing?" Happy asked "Keep it up and your going to end up like Gray, a giant per-" Snow punches Happy all the way to the moon

"I'm not going to end up like him!" Snow yelled

"I ain't said nothing!" Natsu responded

Shut up, you flame brain!" Snow shouted

"Your on, pretty boy!" Natsu shouted back with his fist covered in flames Snow and Natsu start fighting again

"Don't just fight in front of people's houses!" Lucy told them then she laughs

The Next Day...

"Lucy, Let's go out on a job!" Natsu shouted

"Aye, sir!" Happy agreed jumping in excitement

"Sure!" Lucy agreed

"So, what job are we going on?" Happy asked

"Ain't decided yet!" Natsu responded

"This!" Snow holds up the flier to show them "Capture the escaped prisoner, Velveno"

"Velveno?! You mean the Velveno as the Guild Hunter? So they know where he is?" Happy asked

Natsu laughs out loud "That uses some awesome magic! I'm all fired up!"

"The reward is 400,000 Jewel for each person" Erza told them "You can pay your rent with that Lucy"

"Yeah! that is about 6 months worth! I'm in!" Lucy said however she overhead about a Dark Guild attacking a trade guild in Acalypha and demands that Macao and Wakaba to tell her where Acalypha is and she hurries there, worried about her father

Lucy arrives and attacks the Dark Guild, Naked Mummy after she was done she looks for her father but he is nowhere to be found she looks outside and he arrives a few moments after saying he was traveling by foot and he couldn't make it in time.

Lucy hears a rumble in the distance she sees her team running to her " Lucy, you okay?" Natsu asked

"What happened?!" Snow added

"Lucy!" Happy cries out

"Did you handle everything here by youself? I'm impressed" Erza remarked

"Yeah..." Lucy looks at her father who nods "Stay well, Father" she waves farewell as she follows her team home

"What was with you all of a sudden?" Natsu asked

"Nothing.." Lucy replied

"Nothing, yeah right! we were worried when you ran out of the guild like that" Snow said

"We had to cancel the job!" Happy told her

"Sorry!" Lucy responded

"Layla..." Jude looks up at the orange sky "I was such a fool..."
