//FairyTail Fanfiction//Lavinia Forest: An S Class Quest

Chapter 1

Lucy's POV 

"Lucy! There's a new job request!" Natsu yelled across the guild floor. He had been standing at the S class job request board ever since he got his permit to do them.

Probably another job that'll mess up my hair and sanity, Lucy thought. But I need to pay my rent for this month.....

"How much does the job pay?" Lucy asked as Natsu and his cat companion, Happy, walked over.

"2 million joule," Natsu answered with a gigantic grin. Lucy's eyes shot up.

"What kind of nut job would pay that much for a job request?!" she exclaimed.

"A nut job who wants Lavinia forest to be cleared of the Star-fait monsters!" Happy said. "Man, you could get a lot of fish with 2 million joule...."

"You guys are doing the Star-fait job?" Gray asked as he walked up to where Lucy and Natsu were.

"Hell yeah! My first S class job!" Natsu exclaimed.

"Good, then you won't mind Gray and I joining you and splitting the reward since it's your first time," Erza said as she walked up.

"No way! I offered this job to Lucy because she won't get in my way or piss me off!" Natsu said angrily.

Erza grabbed Natsu by the shoulders.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Ezra said.

"Oh boy, Natsu's about to get a smackdown from Erza," Happy said gleefully.

"Not.. helping... Happy!" Natsu said as he tried to escape Erza's grasp.

"Okay guys, calm down!" Lucy said.

"Much agreed. Your fighting is interrupting my drinking ritual," Cana said. She proceeded to chug a bottle of whiskey promptly after saying that.

"Okay, okay! Erza, you won't get in my way!Now can you please let me go, I'm going to lose circulation!" Natsu said quickly.

Erza released Natsu.

"Good. Then it's settled. Gray, Lucy, Happy, you and I will go on this request together. We leave after lunch," Erza said. She walked away, leaving the group together.

Looks like I'm going on this quest after all..... Lucy thought to herself.

Erza's POV

"Can't forget my blades.... agh....." Erza exclaimed as she threw her armour in various suitcases. The rest of her group were probably eating lunch, while she had to pack.

Suddenly, Erza's dorm room burst open. She spun quickly, ready for an attack. hearing footsteps, she looked down, and saw Makarav walking in.

"Hello Erza. Are you packed for your job?" The short guild master asked. He hopped up onto Erza's bed and moved aside some armour she had laid out.

"Yes master, I am. I hope Natsu and the others are packed and ready to leave soon," Erza replied. She picked up the armour that Makarav had moved aside and stuffed it into a burgundy suitcase.

Makarav chuckled. "I'm sure they will be ready. I saw Lucy leave the guild earlier, I suppose she's going home to pack."

Erza smiled. "Do you need me for something before I go, Master?"

"No, child. I had come in here to talk to you about a couple of things."

Erza nodded, prompting Makarav to continue.
