I don't own Fairytail. Wish I did. :(

They cautiously opened the nightclub bar doors. "Uh, hi... We are here to apply for the bartender job." Lucy told the white-haired hostess (Mirajane), and she immediately replied, "Ah! You're the three girls. Alright, come on in!"

Mirajane led them the way to the changing room, and passed them their uniforms. "Here, change into these." She smiled as her hair moved when she tilted her head slightly. The uniform was like what a hotel waitress would wear. Won't be too bad, Lucy thought to herself.

After changing, they left the changing room. "Say, Lucy. You should tie your hair. It's going to be a good long 3 hours!" Erza suggested. "Ah, okay. Thanks." Lucy went to the lockers and took her handbag, taking out a rubber band. She swiftly tied her hair up to a high ponytail.

They went to meet Mirajane who was waiting for them at the doors. "You girls are back. Come, I will show you what to do." Mirajane told them how to mix the cocktails and such. With that, since the trio was all fast-learners, they learnt in no time. "Okay, the nightclub is open now! If you get into any trouble... just call out." Mirajane looked away as she said the second sentence.

"Oh, we'll be alright." Erza started bragging about how they learnt many sorts of fighting stances, martial arts and such. "Sorry about Erza." Lucy and Levy giggled, before dragging Erza to their appointed place.

Customers started entering, and they got busy. "Only three bartenders... Gah, tiring!" Lucy muttered to herself as she mixed another cocktail, passing it to the customer. A guy, about age of 40, obviously drunk approached Lucy.

"Heey cutie~ My housee or yourss? *cough* Cutie... Heh." The guy slurred. "No." Lucy sternly said. "C'mon, I know you want it~" The guy shot the most awful and ugliest wink Lucy ever seen, it was uglier than Natsu's artwork! Moreover, his breath smelt like... (I'm sorry, you're going to be haunted) sardines left in the open with flies and poop around it.

"No, means no. Get the F out of my face." Lucy smirked as she thought she gave the best speech ever. "Oh yeah?" The guy was agitated. "Come at me bro, I'm not even the LEAST bit scared." Lucy went to get a damp cloth to wipe the glass wine cup.

The guy took his chance and grabbed Lucy's wrist. Lucy almost dropped the wine cup but luckily, the wine cup landed on the floor's big fluffy carpet. Lucy taunted, not noticing the door opened. "Eh, just that? Okay. This is what I can do." Easily, Lucy swung her wrist and pressed her hand onto the guy's shoulder, so he can't move at all.

"You want to fight, you got to work on it. Good luck!" She said sarcastically, winking. After that, she released the guy. "I'm sorry if you are hurt; however, you can't charge me. That's called... self-defense, huh." The guy from earlier fled, crying. "Eh, Natsu? Is that you?" She noticed a guy about Natsu's build at the door.

"Boo." He jumped out from the door. "Why are you here?" Lucy asked curiously, "We are just 17, you shouldn't be drinking!" "I can't hold it anymo- BWAHAHAHAH!" Natsu started laughing so hard, his back hit the counter. "Whoa, stay cool! What happened?!" Lucy fanned Natsu, who was laughing uncontrollably.

"Self-defense, huh?" Natsu mimicked Lucy's previous words, "You shouldn't be drinking~" Then, he started laughing again. Lucy pouted and puffed her cheeks. "Hey!" Then, realizing that Natsu hadn't answered her previous question, she repeated her question, "Anyway, why were you here?"

"Gray. That ice queen Elsa asked me to get his friend for him because apparently his friend got drunk." Natsu answered. There was only one drunk person who was a brunette. "Her I reckon?" Lucy pointed to the brunette. "Yeah, Gray said she apparently chugged a good 57 barrels. Note: barrels." Lucy coughed, she looked only a bit older, at about age 20 or so-so! What was the world turning into?!
