Lucy Heartfilia receives a premonition from Cana Alberona that she will have a "fateful encounter" in the near future. She initially believes this to mean the guild's upcoming interview with Weekly Sorcerer magazine, which she anticipates will lead to a lucrative modeling gig for her, but she is overlooked by the interviewer. In the meantime, she meets an author who asks her to show him around town for inspiration for a novel, and later invites her out to dinner. When her teammates Natsu Dragneel and Happy tell her they have chosen a guild mission specially suited for her, however, she ultimately skips the date to go with her friends; in her place, she sends the boyfriend-seeking Cana, whom the writer becomes smitten with. On the train ride, she briefly crosses paths with a blue-haired girl, unaware that this is the fateful encounter Cana prophesied.
