Chapter 1:

Moving!

###############################################################

"You're fired!" a man yelled as he kicked a brown-haired girl out to the street.

"Not fair!" the girl said. "I only said that you look like a big fat loser,you big fat loser!" she stuck her tongue out at the man and ran. The man yelled and ran after her. She hid in a corner when she was still far ahead. The moment the man stepped in view,she tripped him and he stumbled unconscious on the street.

"Loser~!" she rolled her tongue as she skipped back home. But as soon as she was only three blocks away,she started to feel sad.

"How am I gonna help Granny Keyla pay the rent now?" she asked herself. "That's the third job I got fired from this month. I can't keep doing this." She started to walk slowly as she went near the house. She opened the door and she was greeted by an old woman wearing a long dress.

"Lina,dear." the woman spoke. "Your early today."

"Yes,granny." she said in a sad tone. The grandmother understood her sadness and ushered her to go to the living room.

"Don't tell me..." the woman hesitated. Lina nodded and the granny sighed. "Was he a loser or a wimp this time?"

"A loser." she responded. "I don't mean to get into trouble,but it's not my fault that the boss has no sense of fun!"

"I know." Granny said as she sat down on the sofa. She patted the spot next to her,and Lina sat down there. "But I have to tell you something,deary."

"What is it,Granny?" she said,obviously worried by the sound of her suddenly serious voice.

"Well," Granny hesitated. "Me and your grandfather,Corol... We've decided to move back to the countryside." she said. Lina felt her heart sunk the moment she heard those words. Her eyes started to feel warm as tears fell down from it. She cupped her face to try and silence her sobbing.

"Lina,dear." Granny called as she patted her back. "Don't cry."

"I'm sorry,granny." she sobbed. "But I just don't know how I could pay the rent by myself! It's a hundred thousand jewels a month,and I don't even have a job! I don't know what to do!" She wailed even more. Keyla tried to calm her down. A bit later,it worked and she stopped crying,but sadness still colored her emerald eyes.

"Don't worry about a thing,deary." Granny assured. "You won't be staying here." This made the girl raise her head with wide eyes.

"What do you mean?" she asked.

"Well,I know a place where the rent is cheaper." she said. "Only seventy thousand jewels a month. And I have a friend there that owes me a big amount of cash. Let me just call him."

She stood up and went for the phone. She dialed in the numbers and waited for someone to answer.

"Ah,hello?" she asked.

"Yes,is this Makarov?...Yes hello there Makarov,it's me. You know,Granny Keyla... Yes nice to hear from you,too... Listen,my grand daughter is planning to move to Fairy Homes. Do you think you can spare her a place?... Yes that would be helpful. And don't forget about your debt~...*laughs* Oh your so silly Makarov... Yes,thank you deary." After their conversation,she hung up and went back to Lina.

"I have great news." she said to Lina. "You can move to Fairy Homes. And you don't have to worry about the rent for now. My friend owes me five months worth of rent. And he said that he'll pay me by paying for your rent for the next five months. Isn't that wonderful!"

"I...I..." was all Lina could say before she started to cry again and hug her grandmother. "I love you,granny! Thank you!" she wailed. Granny Keyla patted her on the back and calmed her down.

"Well," she started. "We won't be needing the furniture here. You can use it so you don't have to buy any new ones." she said.

"What?" Lina asked. "But that's too much!"

"No it's not,deary." she responded. "There's no need for you to be so shy. Your going to start a new life there,so you need these to help you."

"A-alright." she smiled. "Thank you,Granny." The old woman smiled back.

###############################################################

A few days later,they had finished packing up the furniture and their individual belongings. Lina has just finished calling a moving crew. When she got out,her jaw dropped when she saw her grand parents riding on a carriage.

"Granny! Papi! Your riding a carriage all the way back to the countryside?" she asked.

"Yes,Lina." Corol responded. "We want to return there the old fashioned way." He flashed her a big grin. And Lina started to smile and feel light-hearted.

"We're going to miss you,deary..." Keyla said. Lina smiled and nodded.

"I'm going to miss you,too. Granny." she said. "Don't push yourself too much,Papi,alright?"

"I won't,dear." Corol chuckled.

"I left you some pocket money in your belongings,okay deary? Keyla said.

"Well,good bye!" he said as he tried to hide his tears.

"G-good bye,Granny. Papi." she said as she started to cry as well. "I love you!"

"We love you too,Lina. Please be safe." Keyla said. Lina smiled while nodding. When they were out of view,Lina smiled. She was going to miss them,but she'll keep in touch. She was going to make them proud of her. With her new found determination,she was full of energy. Moments later,the moving crew came.

"Hello,miss." the guy with blonde hair said.

"Hello." she responded. "Right this way please." she ushered them to follow. They took a few minutes to load everthing in the truck.

"Where to?" the big man with black hair asked.

"Fairy Homes,please." she requested.

"Alright. Hop in the back." the man said. Lina nodded and went inside.

'I'm finally moving!' she thought to herself. 'I'm gonna make you proud,granny,papi. You,too,mom and dad.' A few minutes later,she started to feel tired. She went to sleep,her head lying on one of the boxes.

###############################################################

She was woken up by one of the men. They didn't want to bother her while she was sleeping,but since they're already at their destination,they hoped she wouldn't mind.

"Miss?" the guy with blonde hair called. Lina stirred from her sleep and woke up groggingly.

"W-where are we?" she asked. "What time is it?"

"It's past noon already,miss." the man answered. "You were asleep for hours. We're in Fairy Homes,like you said."

"Really?" she asked. The man nodded. Then she ran outside to see it. The sign outside said 'Fairy Homes',but she couldn't believe what she was seeing. What she thought was a simple box apartment,was nothing compared to this. It doesn't look like an apartment,more like a whole new town! There were restaurants and stores in every direction. So were the houses,they were so big,she didn't feel like she'd fit in.

"T-this is Fairy Homes?" she asked aloud.

"Yes it is,my dear." an old voice said. She turned around to see an old small man with white hair and a mustache.

"Are you Lina?" the man asked. Lina nodded at him. "Nice to meet you. My name is Makarov Dreyar,owner of Fairy Homes." he smiled as he saw the girl's eyes widened.

"What!" she yelled. "You own this whole place?" Makarov nodded. "No way!"

"I'm an old friend of your grandmother. Hasn't she told you about me?" he asked. Lina just shrugged,too amazed by his status there.

"Wait," she spoke. "If your so rich,how did you get debt from Granny Keyla?" she asked.

"Well," he started to smile sheepishly. "She kept beating me in poker. I couldn't pay her and my debt accumulated."

"I see..." she said with an irritated look. 'That's how granny became so rich herself!' Then she quickly snapped out of it.

"Um... Where am I supposed to stay?" she asked. Makarov hummed for a moment,then smiled.

"Your place is at Strawberry Street. Come with me." he ushered her to go into his car.

"Um..." she turned to the moving crew. "Could you follow us?" the men nodded and smiled. Lina smiled back and went inside. A few minutes of driving and Lina could do nothing other than to stare open-mouthedly at the many stores and houses located there. They stopped in the on a street that was normal-looking. It was like any street,a few houses here and there,and a restaurant a few blocks down.

###############################################################

"Here we are." Makarov said as he went out of the car. Lina followed shortly. Her eyes widened even more when she saw where she would be living. It was an entire house! The roof is pink in color and the walls outside were a shade of peach. The front lawn was perfectly trimmed. There were bushes that had many beautiful flowers of different colors. There were two trees that faced each other and a hammock tied to them. And all around the perimeter of the house was surrounded by white sturdy fences.

"T-this is..." she said. Then she lifted Makarov and pulled him into a tight hug. "Amazing!"

"Y-you think so?" Makarov said in a muffled voice.

"Yes! Thank you so much for letting me stay here!" she said as she put Makarov down.

"No problem." he said with a smile. Then he pulled out a stamp with Fairy Homes' insignia.

"What's that,sir?" she asked.

"This is a mark to prove that your an owner here in Fairy Homes,so it would not be taken from you." Makarov explained. "Now,where do you want to put it?"

"Here please." she pointed to her neck. He nodded and pushed the stamp lightly on the spot. A white insignia appeared on her neck when the stamp was removed.

"There." he said. "That mark won't be removed until you are out of Fairy Homes." he sighed happily and smiled. "Your part of our family now. Welcome!" Her eyes brightened as she nodded and smiled as well.

"Make sure to meet the neighbors as soon as you finished unpacking,alright?" he asked.

"Yes,sir! Thank you so much again!" she said as she bent down and planted a small kiss on his cheek. The old man blushed and smiled at her.

"Well,I better get going now." he said.

"Okay,see you later Mr. Makarov." He smiled at her and drove off. Then she turned to the moving crew.

"One last favor?" she asked cutely. "Could you help me move in?"

"That's what we do,lil' missy." the big man with black hair grinned. Lina smiled and they began to move and unpack.

###############################################################

The house inside was incredible. The rooms were well lighted and in different wall colors. The living room was as white as snow,and the tiles were white as well,perfect for relaxation. The bathroom had an aquamarine shade in it and the tiles are a beautiful silver. The kitchen had yellow walls and orange stripes in it. The tiles are checkered all the way up to the dining room. The dining room had a pink shade and a chandeleir hung from atop. The bedroom was the most amazing place. It had a shelf filled with unused books of all subjects,a personal desk with a desktop computer. A small desk with a lamp sat beside the double bed. The floor was carpeted with a light purple rug,and the walls were a rose pink.

"This place is so cool!" she exclaimed. The men could only smile at seeing a young girl being so lively. A few hours later,they'd finished unpacking and stored the boxes in the storage room. By then,it was already dark.

"I'm sorry for making you work so late." she bowed as she apoligized.

"Don't worry about it,miss." the blonde assured.

"But still,I should thank you. How about I cook you up some dinner?" she asked.

"Oh,no. That'll be-" the black haired man tried to explain when their stomachs grumbled on cue. Lina giggled at them.

"You can rest in the living room. I'll prepare us a meal,okay?" The two men blushed and nodded. Lina went to the kitchen and opened the fridge. She smiled as she saw that it was filled with different kinds of food. She tucked in her sleeves and got to work. About an hour later,she called for the men. When they went into the dining room,they were filled with the smell of freshly cooked food. The table was filled with different kinds of meals,ranging from fruits and vegetables to meats and seafood.

"I know it isn't much,but please,dig in!" she said with a smile. The two men started to drool from the amount of food. They sat down and began to eat. Lina giggled thinking how they could eat so fast without even choking. After they had their fill,they helped Lina in washing the dishes and throwing out the trash.

"Thank you,miss. Your so kind." the blonde said.

"No worries. Um...I forgot to ask your names. How silly of me." she giggled.

"No problem. I'm Brenard." the blonde said. "And him there is Jake." he pointed to the waving black haired man.

"I'm Lina. Nice to meet you." she said as they shook hands.

"We should be going now." Brenard said. "We have to return to our families."

"Yes. Good bye!" Lina exclaimed as they went back to the truck.

"If you ever need anymore help,you can call on us,alright?" Jake yelled.

"I will!" Lina yelled back while cupping the side of her mouth as they left. "They're so nice." she smiled. "Well,I'll meet the neighbors tomorrow. It's already late,and I should get some rest." she said.

She walked back inside and took a nice,warm bath. Afterwards,she changed into her pyjamas and went to sleep. Although,in the house left to her,she didn't know she was being watched.

"She seems nice~." A cute voice said.

"Yeah." a man's voice replied. "Let's play a prank on her."

"What? No way! She just got here!" the cute voice yelled.

"Whatever. If you don't want to do it,then I will." a figure of a man stood up and is seen in the light. He had pinkish spiky hair,a muscular body and a tanned tone.

"Are you sure about this,Natsu?" a blue furred cat showed flying to the man's shoulder.

"A hundred percent,Happy!" the pink-haired man said.

"It's your funeral." the cat said as it went back to the dark to sleep. The pink haired man smirked and looked out the window one last time before turning off the light and go to sleep as well.
