Disclaimer: I do not own the characters, nor anything else associated with Fairy Tail. I only own the plot of the following story.

Author's Note: I'm a working college student with two majors. I don't expect myself to post often but I will finish the story. I am currently writing ahead and hopefully will have a chapter to post each month, maybe sooner, maybe later. I do appreciate comments and critiques, but please don't slam me. If you don't like the story and/or don't like how I write, just don't read anymore. It's as simple as that.

Yes I realize that this is short, but I had to get this started. I'm currently working on future scenes and such. I'm not happy with this chapter and may eventually come back and edit it a bit (mainly the part towards the end). I plan on having the next chapter done in a couple of weeks as my finals are next week.

Chapter 1

"Lucy!" A voice floated in through the open window.

"Nnnn. Not now mom," Lucy muttered. She stretched out leaving herself sprawled across her bed, face first into her soft pillow.

"Happy, I don't think she heard you." A second voice came from her window.

Natsu sat looking at the still sleeping Lucy with a little bit of contempt. He had something important to tell her, something he knew she would like. "Lucy, come on. Wake up."

Lucy turned her face to the left. She opened her eyes slowly. "I don't wanna… Ah!" She fell out of her bed onto the floor. "Natsu! What're you doing?" Lucy's face burst red with fury. She sat up on the floor, wearing her pajamas which consisted of a light blue tank top and white cotton shorts.

Natsu grinned. He loved waking her up, even if she did get mad at him. "I got a request and was wondering if you wanted to join me." He crawled through the window and stood on the floor. Happy flew through the window after him and sat on the table in her bedroom.

Lucy glared at him. "How much is it worth?" Her eyes narrowed. If this wasn't enough to cover her rent, she wouldn't accept and would help him find a new request, letting someone else take it.

Natsu's grin widened. "It's enough to cover at least two months' rent." He held her the paper.

On the bottom in large print, the paper read, "Two million?!" She dropped the paper, gaping in astonishment. "Are you serious?" She nearly fainted looking at the amount. "This is enough to pay off my rent for... I'm not sure!" She stopped talking for a second, thinking. "You didn't get this from the S-class board did you?" Her eyes narrowed.

Natsu quickly shook his head, then completely avoided the question asking, "So, are you gonna join us?" while Happy flew behind him.

Lucy smiled. She stood up off the floor and ran over to her dresser. Grabbing some outfits, she stuffed all but one in a bag. She turned sharply around and before rushing to the bathroom, she said, "Well, what're you still doing sitting there? We need to get supplies from the guild hall before we leave! I'll meet you there."

Once Lucy had turned the shower on, Natsu's smiled mischievously at Happy. "Good thing we didn't tell her it was an S-class request."

"Aye!" Happy replied.
