Hello! This is my first ever fanfic! I actually got the idea from Beelzebub and thought this would be funny. I tend to jump from manga to manga, but I just got into Fairy Tail and am currently in love with Bleach, so I thought I'd try combining the two!

This is mostly a Fairy Tail fic with Bleach characters only occasionally coming in. I hope you guys like it! Reviews are appreciated!

Oh and I own nothing. Hiro Mashima and Tite Kubo do. Alright there.. I said it.

Fairy Tail was buzzing with activity as the new number one guild in Fiore. It had only been a month since the Grand Magic Games and not only had the town rebuilt the guild hall with amenities galore, but requests were flooding in from all over. There weren't just high ranking and high paying missions, but jobs requesting mages specifically. In fact, Fairy Tail had never been so busy, nor had experienced such an odd diversity of team formations..

Gray and Natsu were continuously requested as a duo, even though they fought each other more than the enemy.. And destroyed everything.. Quite literally everything.. But still managed to stay in high demand nonetheless. And who were they to turn any jobs down, at this point they were stuck accepting all requests just to repay their previous employers for all the damages they always managed to cause; either from fighting each other or using an entire village as fair game for their battle ground. The guild was convinced things couldn't get any worse. Well.. That was until that one request came in for Gajeel and Natsu as a duo.

Both are currently be in debt for a year.

And poor Makarov found himself signing more letters of apology and warning from the Magic Council then he thought humanly possible.

And just when everyone thought they'd hit bottom of the barrel, that one request came in for Natsu, Gajeel, and Laxus..

There are no words for that mission. Just bills and lawsuits.. And a couple threats of potentially being disbanded from the council.. But luckily for the guild their immense popularity after the games prevented anything permanent from happening. For now.

But it wasn't just the guys getting all the attention, Erza and Wendy found themselves on numerous jobs as well! Rewards ranging from rare candy to S-class pay, the couple never turned anything down, and always completed every mission in perfect harmony and without a hitch. Time and time again they would find themselves at Lucy's house sharing their reward; only to head out the next day on yet another mission leaving the Celestial Mage miserable with her boredom.

Now don't get me wrong, Lucy found herself flooded with requests as well; in fact she probably had more requests than anyone else within the guild, except for Mirajane - which the two were usually requested together. Mostly to "escort" nobles from point A to point B.. and always with outfit requests and sometimes clothing optional notes at the bottom.. those jobs found themselves in the trash bin before making it to the board, and Lucy found herself lingering at the bar most days. If she couldn't find a decent job not asking her to be present in a bikini or less then she wasn't going anywhere. It's not that she hated the attention or anything; in fact she was surprised she was requested as much as she was after losing her first match and being so horribly beaten in the second.

"Lucy what's the matter? You've seemed so down lately.." Lucy slowly brought her head up from its place on the bar counter to see Mirajane on the other side, drink in hand.

"Sorry Mira, I'm just in a funk I guess thinking about the magic games again.." Attempting a less than cheerful smile, she noticed the drink was actually meant for her as the Take Over Mage prepared to place it on front of her.

"No thanks Mira, no drinks for me today, I've gotta hold off for my rent." Lucy began to wildly wave her hands as she cracked a slightly pathetic smile. Mira knew Lucy too well for her own good, and knew the girl definitely needed a drink or two, so she handed her the drink anyways.

"Don't worry about it Lucy, your drinks are on the house! I hate seeing my favorite Celestial Mage in such a down mood. You know, you did amazing at the games Lucy.. We were all so impressed. The spell you cast in your match against Raven Tail was so beautiful! I could feel the power from it! When did you learn that?"

She shyly accepted the drink fearing not doing so would come off rude, and blushed a little at Mira's praise, "Hibiki actually showed it to me, I'm still working on mastering it though.. I can't complete it without Gemini yet." As soon as the words left her mouth she slumped in her seat again, dwelling on how she still needed to get stronger. Mira noticing this decided a change of subject might be more appropriate.

"You know Lucy we could always accept one of those jobs! It might help cheer you up!" Mira chirped thinking she was doing the girl a favor, instead Lucy slunk a few more inches in her seat as she began thinking of her only job offers coming in..

"Why so down chick? Drink your beer faster and you'll start feeling better." Lucy jumped at the unannounced presence of the man who was suddenly sitting next to her. She didn't think she'd ever had a conversation with Laxus before, and having him smirk down at her wasn't helping ease her nerves in his presence.

"Lucy's depressed because she doesn't think she did very well in the games, and because all her requests coming in are asking her to show off her hot body and not her magic," Mira chimed in giving Lucy a big wink.

Oh Mavis, Mira.. Why are you telling Laxus this?! Lucy thought worriedly. She didn't know the guy all to well minus him turning her into stone and almost killing her.. And just being an all around jerk for the most part in the past.. The last thing she needed was him confirming how weak she was. She closed her eyes and awaited the onslaught that was soon to come - after all, Laxus hated weakness.

"Didn't do well? What makes you think that? As far as gramps and anyone else is concerned you did Fairy Tail proud. It's not about winning or losing matches, it's about showing strength. Not the kind of strength that show-cases your power, but your will to fight. Your first match didn't count, you got jipped and that was our fault for not making sure the fights stayed fair, especially since we knew Raven Tail had it out for us. But even after that you got back up. You actually stood up to that crazy Sabertooth chick knowing you couldn't win and refusing to back down even without your keys, that's a win in my book." Laxus took a long drink from his mug, refusing to make eye contact with either woman as they both had shocked expressions on their faces. Lucy just about fell out of her seat right before swinging her head violently from side to side, convinced someone had to be making a joke at the moment - there's no way Laxus would actually say that and mean it.. Is there?

"Wow Laxus, thanks.. that actually makes me feel better." Lucy was still in shock, and decided she'd better say something to help alleviate the slightly awkward moment from the very awkward compliment. It was right then that she realized she really didn't know Laxus at all.. The guy she had him pegged for would have not only agreed with her but would have ridiculed her right before kicking her out of his grandfather's guild.. Yet here he was actually making her feel better. Either this guy was seriously misunderstood, was up to something, or was genuinely trying to change for the better.. Lucy hoped for the latter.

Mira was in so much shock she couldn't speak let alone move. After a few moments she regained her composure with a warm smile, You've changed so much, I'm so proud of you Laxus. She couldn't help but think to herself as she mentally confirmed Lucy's internal inquiry.

Laxus continued to sit in his seat as he decided chugging his beer was a more appealing option than placing the cup down and acknowledging the dead pin stairs both women were giving him at the moment. It was uncharacteristic of him to put himself out there and actually compliment anyone. Hell, he didn't mean to compliment the chick but she really needed to hear it - he'd noticed her down in the dumps at the bar most days and knew exactly why. The days his grandfather was out he'd receive all the requests and would decide how to rank them or would assign them to the appropriate people if they were requested. He'd noticed the flood of requests coming in for Lucy.. Hell, if she knew the few he tore up and refused to even let her see she'd probably go jump in the harbor and let herself sink to the bottom. Granted the girl was good looking, but he hadn't seen this much obsession on any one girl aside from Mirajane. He quickly ran out of his drink and was forced to place his cup down, he prepared for the awkward stares.. But as if on cue to save him from his awkward moment of kindness, the Raijinshuu popped up out of almost thin air.

"Yeah cosplay queen, don't beat yourself up, you did awesome, right babies?" Bixlow popped up behind Laxus with his trademark smile and guild mark show, his dolls floating around Lucy's head and squeaking in unison, "Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

"Yes Lucy, you mustn't be so down on yourself, in fact we should apologize for not keeping an eye on Raven Tail sooner." Freed's expression held a little bit of regret and a little anger at the thought of how Fairy Tail was cheated the first day. Mira and Lucy couldn't help but smile at his characteristically over dramatic display of emotion.

"Lucy's a man!" Elfman suddenly shouted as he jumped on the table adjacent to the bar, clearly listening in on the entire conversation with Evergreen and Lisanna.

"Don't beat yourself up Lucy.. We all think you did great!" Lisanna stood as she motioned to the guild who was now immersed in the conversation going on at the bar as well, must've been Laxus' comment that caught everyone's attention. Her face reddened with embarrassment.. But before she knew it the entire guild was standing, beers in hand and shouting her name as they cheered, and of course drinking way more than necessary.

As soon as the shouting began Levy, Gajeel, and Lily made their entrance, and began moving towards the bar where a makeshift crowd had formed. Levy spotted Lucy in the center and looking more than uncomfortable, and decided to intervene. Gajeel also noticed the situation, and opting to keep to himself continued onward to his dark, creepy corner. As soon as he passed Droy and Jet couldn't contain themselves any further.. The flood gates had opened and the both began crying over their shared barrel.. It wasn't easy watching Levy leave mission after mission with the Dragon Slayer.. Unrequited love was tough.

Cana sighed as the onslaught of tears began. Helping Droy and Jet drink away their sorrows was fun for the first 5 or so barrels, but the Fortune Teller decided the tears were a bit too much and realized she needed to find more upbeat company. She finally stood and wobbled towards the small crowd gathering at the bar, quickly finishing her barrel and setting her sights on Lucy. She instantly thought of the moment they shared a few days ago in the guild's bath house. Instantly getting an idea that would change the girl's mood around for better, or worse, with an evil smirk. After slowly creeping up behind Lucy, Cana dropped the empty barrel and greeted her in the most attention catching way she could think of.

It took Lucy a solid 5 seconds to fully comprehend what Cana was doing, and it wasn't until she saw Laxus and Bixlow staring at her chest and Freed's violent nose bleed that she snapped out of it; realizing exactly where the Magic Card Dealer's hands had been placed - as if the occasional squeeze hadn't given that tid bit already.

"Cana! What are you doing?!" The Celestial Mage squeaked as she struggled and blushed.

"Oh Luuuucyyyyy, don't fight it, after all you did jump me in the baths the other day, it's only fair, ne?" Cana purred as she waggled her eyebrows suggestively. Lucy instantly began glowing a few shades darker as all the men in the guild started shouting, Mavis knows what they were imagining..

"Oooooh really? Cana, you should know better than to leave me out of these parties. How about I walk you and cosplay girl home and you give me a play by play of what happened in the bath house?" Bixlow instantly had his arms around the two girls in a makeshift attempt to pull them towards the guild doors, until he suddenly disappeared.

And there was a hole in the ceiling.

And now Natsu was standing where Bixlow once was with his signature toothy grin as if he hadn't just pummeled one of his guild mates 50 feet into the air and through the roof for no apparent reason.

"Lucyyyyyyyyyyy! I missed you!" Happy brushed past the Dragon Slayer and found his landing spot, he began hugging the top of Lucy's head as tears streamed down his face. "Hi Happy, I missed you too! Are you just getting back? I hope you stayed out of trouble." Lucy jokingly scolded, let's be real.. They probably destroyed the train or something equally idiotic.

"Yeah.. me and Natsu wanted to come see you! Natsu and Gray fought almost the entire time again, but at least the damage only cost us the reward money!" Lucy face palmed as everybody else sweat dropped. Lucy began petting Happy, rethinking her current situation and how fortunate she was to have not been on any of the recent missions with Natsu and Gray, otherwise she'd be negative rent money by now.

"By the way Lucy, what are you and Cana doing?" Happy asked in his oh-so innocent voice and a slight tilt of the head. Lucy instantly remembered her compromising situation and squeaked once she realized Cana's hands were still firmly in place. And definitely still squeezing.

"Hey Cana that's not fair! I thought I was the only one to grope Lucy!" Natsu whined and pouted as he tore Lucy away from Cana's wandering hands. And unintentionally doing way more harm than good..

"What?!" was screamed in unison throughout the guild, and Lucy died a little bit on the inside.

"Wow Flame Brain, how hard did she Lucy-kick you for that one?" Gray smirked pulling Lucy away from Natsu sensing her complete embarrassment and trying to reduce the red hue that was currently engulfing her body. And it certainly would have helped, but Lucy found herself face palming once again as she covered her eyes and turned just a few shades darker.

"Gray.. your clothes.." Mira voiced and pointed, Lucy began shaking her head 'no' at the entire situation at hand.

"Mira what are you.. Oh what the?!" Gray looked down and instantly realized why everyone was giving him strange looks from the moment he walked through the door. He quickly back tracked out the guild finding random articles of clothing here and there, Juvia closing in behind him and glaring at Lucy, "Gray-sama! Why don't you share a naked embrace with Juvia?"

Gray sighed in exasperation, "nope. Don't want to. Told you I'm going to say no to the things I don't like anymore Juvia." And he strolled right past her as if she weren't even there.

Juvia immediately felt the sting, and instantly deduced his rejection must've been because of the blonde at the bar who claimed to be best friends with her Gray-sama. She instantly turned to the girl in question and glared daggers, creating a dark aura screaming death while mumbling in a tone only audible to Lucy "love rival.."

The Celestial Mage felt a shiver run down her spine.. Why is she so creepy..? She shivered as the goosebumps began to pop up.

"Hey Luce! Let's go on a mission! Just us!" Natsu declared completely oblivious of the embarrassment he'd just caused the girl minutes before and the weird energy between her and the Water Mage at the moment. "Oh Natsu.. you idiot.." Lucy whined internally and began shrinking in her chair after hearing all the cat calls from the men in the guild, completely misunderstanding the whole situation. But before she could reply Master Makarov came waltzing down the stairs as the shouting chimed down and all attention was on the form currently in the Master's hand.

"Lucy! A request came in for you!" Makarov all but cheered as he hoped onto the bar top as Mira instantly handed him a drink.

Ughhhhh not again.. She began putting her hands up and shaking her head 'no' as she assumed it was just another perverted request, but before she could even get a word out Makarov finished his drink and answered her unspoken question.

"No perverts this time Lucy, in fact you've been requested because of the reward." Everyone instantly stopped what they were doing and looked at him in question, who requests a mage for the reward? That just didn't make any sense.

Staying silent long enough the master realized he had everyone's undivided attention. Makarov smirked deviously and continued, "Apparently there's a gate key no one's ever seen before, and they want you to have it Lucy."
