Lucy got up early and went to the train station to meet the crew she'd be working with all week on the shoot. Natsu went to work the next day did his typical morning routine and did his job as usual. He did feel a little lonely without Lucy there, but he tried not to become overly needy or attached to her so quickly. When he finished his work, he needed to go shopping, so he stopped at the nearest supermarket to get everything they needed at home.

Natsu: *While shopping, he came to a stop at one of the rows, facing away from the magazine section, where two teenagers were reading one of the magazines.*

?: She is flipping through one of the fashion magazines, looking at the latest outfits, when she comes to a halt in the midst of the magazine. Ugh, not this bimbo again, seriously no one cares about her, I wish they would just stop hiring her to model clothing.

??: *Look at the picture she's staring at to figure out who she's talking about.* Oh, I know what you mean, I heard she only got all her jobs because she is a massive slut who has slept with all her clients, and that's why they keep her around. What a miserable life you must have had to live to exploit your body to get ahead of people.

?: *begins to giggle in a tone that shouts "I have a superiority complex"* I know, she's probably out there getting mounted for her next job, what a slut, she should just vanish. *returns the magazine and goes away.*

??: *does the same, and walks away from the magazines.*

Natsu: *His interest was piqued by what those girls were talking about, and he wanted to know what model they were referring to. He went over to the magazines and picked up the same one the girl was looking at, opening it in the middle. He noticed that the photographs in the magazine were all of Lucy from her most recent photo shoot. He was about to go after them and give them a piece of his mind when he took a deep breath and just stood there shaking from rage because of the things those girls said about Lucy, not just because they were untrue but because they had no idea how hard Lucy's life was and they wanted her to disappear. Once calming down he went to pick up the rest of the things he wanted and went to the cash register, to pay for his things, in front of him were two to three people and one blonde middle-aged woman at the register. He stood in line and waited for his turn.*

After all of the women's products were scanned, she handed a bundle of coupons to the cashier to pay for her purchases. I have some coupons. she remarked smugly as she held them out in front of her.

The cashier was irritated by her tone, but he took the coupons from her and began scanning them in one by one. When the cashier completed scanning all of the coupons, he told her how much she needed to pay.

The woman was upset because one of her purchases was not free. Hey, why is the tomato sauce still on the monitor? I gave you two 50% off coupons for it, and it should be free.

The cashier looks puzzled at her as if he's trying to figure out whether she's serious or not. Ma'am, I scanned your coupons and this is the amount you must pay; there is no way you can receive anything for free by using coupons.

The woman slammed her hands down angrily on the cashier's station. It appears that they did not teach you basic math in school because 50 + 50 equals 100, implying that you should remove the entire piece.

The cashier is trying not to lash out at her. Ma'am, if you use a 50% off coupon, you cut the price in half. If you use another 50% off coupon, you cut the already halved price in half again. In conclusion, you take 75% off the price, not 100%. It appears that all that hair spray has roten your senile mind to the point where you don't know how your coupons even work, so pay for your stuff you brok old hag before I call security on your ass.
