_Lucy_

I need to pay for my rent. Or else the land lady would never let me have my apartment anymore. I've not been paying for many months now. I strutted my way towards Mira who was cleaning the counter.

"Hey, Mira. Do you have any job available? The one that I can handle by myself?" Yes, I want to be alone. I don't want Natsu, Happy, Gray and Erza with me or else master would be stressed. Oh, you know what I mean. I don't want them to wreck any town anymore!

Mira looked at me like I am an alien or something. "Well, I have the easiest one here. But in this job, you need a companion here. Anyway, why would you want to be alone? Do you not want Natsu with you? There's no easy job left. And anyway, I think if you handle this easy job alone, you might be at danger." Oh, great. So much for my goal. Guess I have no choice.

I took the job request from her and read it aloud. "Help Us! Please, this is urgent! A monster at Bear Island has been killing people. The monster is very tough! Reward: 600,000 jewel." 600,000 jewel? I think I can finish this job quickly. But.. based on what I had read as a reward... the monster looks scary. Yep, I definitely need someone like Natsu here. But he can wreck the Bear Island! Who on earth can go with me? A reckless one?

I noticed a note below the job request: If you want to beat the monster, bring only ONE companion with you. Make sure it's a girl if you're a boy, and a boy if you're a girl. I frowned. Then I heard snickers.

Suddenly, I heard Wendy and Carla behind me. "Lucy-san? What is that job all about?" Wendy inquired. A little hope lightened up in me. But when I saw Carla holding a job request, that little hope died out. I also just remembered that I must bring a boy. So much for my luck.

"Nah, a job all about a monster, it says." I said, frowning a bit.

"Well, we should get going. Bye, Lucy-san!" Wendy and Carla bid goodbyes at me. Guess I have no choice but to ask Natsu, huh?

Wait, I could just bring Gray! Nah... Juvia's around him, so better not. I'm afraid I might lose my life at such a young age.

And I couldn't bring anyone anymore! They're all teamed up. Natsu's the only choice.

I felt someone tap my shoulder. When I turned around, it's Natsu. "Yo. Gonna go to a job? Bring us." he said, grinning. Happy was behind him, coughing. He looked pale.

"Sorry, Natsu, Lucy. I'm sick. Guess I can't tag along with you two for now." Poor Happy. I want to take care of him, but what about my rent? "It's okay. You two may go now." Happy flew away, back slouched.

"So, come on?" Natsu asked, turning to me. "Don't worry, Happy can take care of himself. He'd soon get better." he reassured me, giving me a thumbs-up while smiling. I smiled back and told him ok.

_while we were in the train..._

"Grgh...." Natsu's face is so colorful. Once, it's green, and now it's purple. "Oh no, he's gonna puke again!! Stay away from me!" I hissed at him, disgusted. Still, he kept up that stuffed face of his. Then he looked at me. Aww, he looked so helpless. The poor guy.

Natsu was mumbling something I couldn't understand. I just stared at him and looked at the window. I just remembered what Cana had told me. You know, the one when she told me that I'd have a fateful encounter? I've been thinking... when will I meet this guy? And who must he be? I'm so curious.
