Alright, I know I already have other stories started but I just couldn't resist ok! I hope you enjoy my newest story, and hopefully my last until I finish some of my others, but Ive just had writers block with them and writing other stories helps clear it a little. Anyways, enjoy!

Lucy's POV

I sighed as I sipped my shake. Erza was gone on an S-Class mission with Gray, while Natsu and Happy were fishing, Levy and Team Shadowgear were on a mission, and even Wendy and Carla were on a mission together. I was absolutely bored and I even had to worry about how I was going to pay my rent this month. I laid my head down on my arms and groaned. What was I going to do?

"Lucy, can I see you in my office?" Master Makorav called. I sighed. Oh great, what did Natsu burn down now? I said goodby to Mira and thanked her for the shake before heading up the stairs to the masters office.

"Sit my child." He said. Nodding I sat in the chair in front of his desk and waited for him to speak.

"I called you up here because I needed you to do a job for me." He said. This caught my interest.

"Why me? Why not someone stronger like Erza and Gray? They should be getting back soon right?" I asked.

"You are strong and besides the reward is 10,000,000 jewels and a titanium key. I thought you would like it." Master said. My eyes widened in shock. A titanium key?! Those were only rumors!

"What do I have to do?" I asked.

"Well, you have to defeat the dark guild Snakebite. The Clients said its at least a month mission, and there giving you a place to stay close to the dark guild." Master said. My eyes widened more.

"Alright, no matter how strong you think I am I can not defeat a whole dark guild by myself, no offense. Besides isn't this practically a S-Class mission?!" I asked. Master smiled.

"I never said you were doing this alone, im sending Laxus with you, and yes this is an S-Class mission." Master said. I think he was enjoying my shock a little too much.

"Wait, Laxus?! You expect me and Laxus to do a month long mission together?! What about my rent?!" I asked. Master smiled widely.

"Yup! The train leaves in three hours, plenty of time for you to pack and catch the train. I already informed Laxus of this so he'll be ready with the tickets, and dont worry about your rent, I already paid for the next two months, you can pay me back when you get your reward money." Master said ushering me out of the room and leaving me there standing dumbfounded. I sighed. I may as well get packing.

*Three Hours Later*

I was waiting at the train station for a few minutes before Laxus showed up.

"Hey Blondie, you ready?" Laxus asked. He didn't seem any happier then I did that he was going to be spending a month with me. I sighed slightly.

"Yeah, lets go, and just in case you didn't know, your Blonde to." I said following him onto the train. I didn't really hate Laxus, in fact I would really like to get to know the guy, the problem was, he didn't really open up to anyone.

We were headed to a place called Dawn City which was on the complete opposite side of Magnolia. (I'm using the map of Fiore, so yes there is a place called Dawn City, and it is indeed on the opposite side of Magnolia :3) and it was a three day train ride, not including the times we'd have to switch trains. Sighing I sat in a booth and got comfortable as Laxus sat across from me.

"You know, if were going to be with each other for a month we should at least like each other, even slightly." I said. Laxus nodded.

"Alright then, what if I ask you a question and then after you can ask me one?" I asked.

"Whatever makes you happy blondie." Laxus said crossing his arms over his chest and getting comfortable.

"Alright... whats your favorite... color?" I asked.

"Grey. Whats yours?" He asked. I smiled slightly, glad I had gotten him to actually go along with this little game of sorts.

"I like both pink and blue. What about... your favorite hobby?" I asked.

"Training. You?" He asked.

"Hmmm, I guess writing." I said thinking.

*After An Hour Of Talking*

After an hour of talking it turned out that me and Laxus both had many things in common. Especially our history's. My mom died, his mom died, my dad was horrible, his dad was horrible, my dad came begging for money to get more power financially, his came begging for secrets to make him more powerful strength wise. It was now about 10 O'clock and I was beat. I yawned and stretched before laying my head against the window.

"I'm going to sleep." I said. He nodded and I closed my eyes allowing the darkness to take over me. I wouldn't mind investing some of my reward money for a more comfortable train ride home.

"Night Blondie."

"Night Laxus."
