Lucy POV:
My head had been spinning ever since I started scanning through this thick book. I love reading book but definitely not rules and regulations.
There was even one part that you are not allowed to enter male dorm if you are not married. Does Natsu's room counted?
"How is it, Lucy?" Mirajane sent me a questioning look.
"Dying." I sighed with a sad expression.
"Oh I see. So what duty that you are interested in?" She asked me while flipping to the occupation page.
"This." I pointed for her immediately when I saw it.
"Astronomers, I see. That suit you well!" She grinned.
Natsu POV:
The prey was now making his own way up to the ship, taking his own sweet time as if he is the king.
"Jiemma, next year today will be your death anniversary." I brought my gun to my lips as a sign of respect to him before I aimed and shot him. Well, he was older than me after all.
Unfortunately, that was not him. It was a poster with his annoying face on it. Now, the poster is damaged by me. But I liked it.
"Captain, the target is waiting for you. " Erza informed me as I hid the gun inside my belt.
"Coming." Here I came, Jiemma. Today would be your death anniversary. I'm all fired up.
Lucy POV:
When I saw the word,' astronomer', it captivated my eyes. Without thinking cautiously, I had made up my own decision. In the past, my mother taught me reading stars when I was feeling down.
She said that those stars on the sky were our small little hopes. Although they were small, but they were large in number. That why we should not give up just because of small sadness which hindering the rest of the day.
And I always believe what she said. I always does.
Natsu POV:
"Sit, Captain Jiemma. It was a pleasure to have you here in our ship." I gestured to the empty seat opposite me and brought the glass with red wine to my lips to take a sip.
"You meant your small ship." My eyes widened when I heard that insult as he sat. Make more insults, Jiemma. This would be your last time to do so.
"Pardon for the small ship, Captain Jiemma." I emphasised the word, 'small' to show how displeased I'm.
"Go straight to the point , Captain Natsu." He said it impatiently.
"Let's play a game shall we?" I questioned him as he raised his right eyebrow.
"I love game." He replied me before fixing his gaze on me. So did me.
"Let's play Fate." I told him.

Preview of Chapter 16:
"What does this mean?" Jiemma kicked the table and looked at me with ferocity.
