Lucy Makes a Contract with Nikora

Lucy Makes a Contract With Nikora is an event at the start of the Daybreak arc, during which Lucy Heartfilia signs a contract with the Silver Key Celestial Spirit, Nikora, or Plue.

Prologue
After rescuing Macao Conbolt from Mt. Hakobe, Lucy searches for a new place to live and eventually finds an apartment near the shopping center of Magnolia Town, with a monthly rent of 70,000, and moves in.

After taking a bath, she finds Natsu and Happy in her room, surprising and angering her. However, after she changes into new clothes, she decides to make them both tea and requests that they drink some before leaving, if they have nothing else to do with her.

Signing the Contract
Natsu suddenly asks to see all of Lucy’s Celestial Spirits but she refuses to, saying that summoning all 6 of her Spirits will drain her of a lot of Magical Power. Lucy then begins explaining to them about the Silver and Gold Keys used to summon different spirits.

She then realizes that she still hasn’t made a contract with Nikora, a Silver Key Celestial Spirit. Lucy retrieves the Nikora’s key and summons him in front of Natsu and Happy. She begins fawning over him before going forth to making the contract, in which all she does is ask which days she can summon Nikora. The contract is quickly finished and Lucy says that making a contract is like making a promise, and that it’s why she never breaks promises.

She then decides to name Nikora, eventually coming up with “Plue”.

Aftermath
After making the contract, Plue does various poses with his body. Natsu understands what he is trying to say to them; basically, Plue suggests that the three Mages form a team together.
