I had completed my milkshake and my flashback. I was about to leave the guildhall when someone shouted "LUCY!!" I turned around and immediately jumped back because there was a face right next to mine. "Julie! Why did you do that?" I said while taking a few deep breaths. She smiled. "Jenny said that she wants you to meet someone." My eyes widened. "Who? I bet it's just some boy. Jenny keeps on trying to match me with someone." Julie shook her head. "No, she said that this was important. Also, why would she match you with someone? You're doing fine on your own. I mean, you and Hibiki are pretty close."

I blushed."No, it's not like that! We're just friends." Julie winked."Totally." I thanked Julie and went to Jenny. I let out a breath when I was sure that Julie couldn't hear me. Sometimes, dealing with Jenny's younger sister was tiring. I thought to what Julie said about me and Hibiki. We are close, but that's just because we're friends! But, sometimes I notice him looking at me. And sometimes I catch myself staring at him.  He is handsome. But, we could never be in a relationship. He flirts with all the girls, so he could never really like me. I shook my head and made it to the spot Jenny's in.

I saw a girl standing next to her. Her hair was auburn and her eyes were a beautiful light green. She was wearing an orange dress with a pair of matching heels. She reminded me of fire. Jenny saw me coming and waved. "Hey Lucy, I want you to meet Alexia Mei. She was on a month-long job and she finally came back! I think that you two are gonna become best friends." Jenny walked away, leaving me and Alexia alone.

I said"Hi Alexia.I'm Lucy and I use celestial spirit magic. What kind of magic do you use?" "I use phoenix magic. It gives me the powers of a phoenix." She said in a clear voice. I widened my eyes in surprise."Phoenix magic? I've never heard of it. How did you learn it?" Alexia told me"I was born with it............ Do you want to get drinks?" I pulled her hand to the bar. "Sure." We walked to the bar and got our drinks. I started a conversation and we told each other everything. I told her about celestial spirit magic, Fairy Tail, and my past. She told me about phoenix magic and how tragic her childhood was. Alexia accidentally burnt her village when she was a child and killed everyone inside it. She then joined Blue Pegasus, so she could have a family again. I sympathized with her. When we stopped chatting, I noticed Eve staring at us. I thought he was looking at me, but I realized that he was actually looking at Alexia. I told her this and she blushed. We talked about Eve and Hibiki for a while. My new best friend left the guild and I started looking at the job requests.

I was considering going on a job to defeat a few bandits when I saw Hibiki looking at me. I continued my work, thinking that it was probably nothing. I selected a job for 100,000J and went on it.I came back to the guild, having not completed the request. I went home, making a mental note to ask Alexia to accompany me tomorrow. I spent the night dreaming about my supposed love interest.

Author's Note- I'm sorry that this chapter was so short. I couldn't think of anything else. Also, phoenix magic is a lot like fire dragon slaying magic. But it's different. Natsu would have turned into a dragon, but he had all that drama with Igneel and Eclipse. But Alexia will not turn into a phoenix (which sounds awesome) because she uses phoenix magic, not phoenix slaying magic.
