Lucy’s New Found Friend
”Hey guys! I’m back.” Lucy was back from a mission she took alone. She walked towards Natsu and the others on their table with a mysterious guy following behind her. Everyone watched as they walk down the hallway.
Who is this mysterious guy with Lucy? Is he a friend? Or yet an another enemy in disguise?
Chapter 1: “Zed”
Natsu, Happy, Gray and Erza are currently sitting in a table having a conversation. Suddenly, the doors opened and showed Lucy with some guy behind her.
“Hey guys! I’m back.” Lucy was back from a mission she took alone. She walked towards Natsu and the others on their table with a mysterious guy following behind her. Everyone watched as they walk down the hallway.
“Yow Lucy!” Natsu smiled. “How was the mission?”
“Lucy sat on the long chair surrounding the table followed by the mysterious guy. “it was so awesome! I was able to finish it ahead of time thanks to him.” Lucy pointed the guy beside her with enthusiasm. The guy in return flashed out a smile. “I was even given additional reward.”
“I’m sure you had a wonderful time back there.” Erza said. “Why not introduce this friend of yours?”
“Oh yeah! I almost forgot. Gray, Natsu, Erza and Happy, this is Zed. As what I have told you earlier, he accompanied me during my mission in Clover Town. He has Air Manipulation Magic. He was a friend of my client and offered a helping hand during the mission.”
“Hi! Nice meeting all of you.” Zed smiled at everyone.
“Hey.” Gray shook hands with him. “The name’s Gray.”
“Glad to meet you. My name’s Erza.”
“I know. You’re pretty popular in my to-“ Zed stopped when he noticed that Natsu is staring at him intensely. “Ahmmm…” Zed scratched his head. “Is there something wrong with my face?” He asked Natsu who was still staring at him.
“Natsu. It’s rude to stare at people you know.” Lucy scolded Natsu.
“Hmmmpf.” Natsu started to walk away. “Let’s go Happy.”
“Aye! Please excuse us.” Happy flew beside Natsu. “What’s wrong Natsu?”
“Nothing.”
“What happened to him?” Natsu asked.
“I don’t know. But don’t mind him. Why not both of you go home early and take a rest. I’m sure you are tired from traveling.” Erza said.
“You bet.” Lucy started stretching. “Hey Zed. Instead of taking the hotel, why not stay in my house?”
“Sure!” Zed accepted her offer.
“Well, see ‘ya guys tomorrow.” Lucy and Zed excused themselves from everyone and headed back to her house.
