Hey this AU is based off of an idea a friend of mine had: WWII. I hope I have not offended anyone with the use of accents or anything that involves anyone's ethnicity. I have done my best to base this purely off of what I know about the opinions of the different sides during this time period. I have based the accents off of those of actual people in attempts to be as accurate as possible (my friend happens to be German and actually read it over to make sure of this) and not offend anyone. I hope you enjoy reading this story. Some words aren't English but I shall leave notes to explain them. I happen to believe it adds to the story.

Knock knock

She awoke with a flutter of her eyes. The sudden sound came as a surprise to her as it was still pretty early in the morning.

Knock knock

She sat up and stretched out her arms. Letting out a yawn she alerted the visitor she was awake with a "who is it?"

"It's Virgo, Miss. Lucy. I bring with me good news." The pinkette seemed somewhat excited for so early in the day.

"Well, spit it out already!" the blonde was very informal, especially for someone of her social status. In her defense, she had been living in country side for the past four years of her life, where slang and such was common. For someone just learning the language as well, the improperness of it was easily caught.

The maid clapped her hands as she entered the room. "The war is over! We can return home to France!" she shouted the last part but Lucy didn't bother to notice. She was too focused on the fact that she could finally see her father again.

"Vraiment?!(Really) I can't wait to see father again!" the young girl jumped up and started picking out an outfit to wear to the train station.

"Oui!(yes) It's true princess. Aries got a letter from Loke saying so it's also the headline of every paper in the entire continent." Virgo left the room to let the girl get ready for the trip to the station that was bound to be crowded with hundreds of returning soldiers.

Lucy could only imagine the surprise on her father's face when they would meet again. She had grown into a very beautiful young lady since he left when she was four. She imagined running into his arms while calling out "bonjour pére! (Hello father) I've missed you so much!"

She smiled so brightly for the entirety of the ride. She thought of how her best friend, Juvia would have her "fiancé" back. She remembered how their parents promised them to each other when they were born. Gray always despised her when they were young, but she was sure he had to miss her too. He was shipped back to Germany along with the rest of his family at the start of the war. Juvia went to the England country side when the rumors of war first started going around in France. "His family swore to come back once it was over" she told me once.

She stepped out of the car along with Aries and their escort, Capricorn, a tall man with milk white hair who was always quiet. Aries almost immediately found the one she was looking for and ran up to him. He hugged her tightly and when he let go he gave her a solemn look. She returned the action with a nod and walked back over to me.

"Miss Lucy," she said with the sound of grief echoing in her usually cheery voice," I'm very sorry, but….,"

Lucy could see the pain in the woman's eyes. She knew all too well what it meant. It was the same look she got when her mother passed.

"… I'm sorry, but your father didn't return." It was obvious the she felt pity for the girl. She was only seven and she had already lost both of her parents.

A single tear slid down her cheek. She fell to her knees, more tears appearing in her eyes. The only family she had left was just taken from her. Now she could never return to France with her father. He was dead and on the inside she died a little too.
