Chapter 1:
The Beginning To It All
Three tiny figures sat in the rectangular pit of sand enjoying each other's company. One was a little girl with her dark blonde hair tied into two sloppy pigtails full of sand and chocolate shaded eyes that were well rounded. The other two were boys, one with dark messy hair and slanted eyes, the other with nicely gelled pink hair and wide eyes. All three of them were working on a small sand castle, their concentration fully into making sure the castle didn't collapse.
"Gray-kun, let's live in a castle like this one day!" The girl spoke to the dark haired child.
"I wanna live there too!" The pink haired boy bounced in.
"No, Natsu! Lucy-chan and I are going to get married one day, and you can't be there too because marriage is between two people, not three!" The dark haired child protested.
"That's not truuueee!" The pink haired child now identified as Natsu cried. "My mommy told me couples can have third wheels!"
"But Natsu," Lucy spoke up, "I don't like you in the same way I like Gray-kun."
Natsu snapped up from his comfy spot, holding back tears. His nose began to drain as he stared down at the cute little girl. "But I love you just as much as Gray does!"
"But I don't love you!" Lucy argued, and Natsu's mouth flew open.
"FINE! I DON'T WANT EITHER OF YOU AS A FRIEND!" Natsu swung his foot forward and kicked down the tiny little castle, and the sand flew towards the two remaining children.
"Natsu, wait!" Gray stood up, but before he could run towards the flailing Natsu, Lucy's hand wrapped itself around his tiny little ankle and pushed him back down.
Gray turned his head towards Lucy with plans to yell at her for doing that, but stopped when he saw the tears forming in the corner of her eyes.
"Don't leave me too, Gray-kun..."
Gray smiled softly, and inched closer towards the crying girl. Wrapping his arms around her small figure, he embraced her. "I won't."
Lucy sat in her desk, drumming her pencil impatiently alongside the clock ticking. Time had passed, and she looked to be atleast three years older. Her hair hung just below her shoulders, but she was still small.
The teacher's figure began to disappear as the child's head bobbed back and forth. She had waited all night to get a call from Gray, who had moved away. Today was her tenth birthday. Finally, the loud ring of the school bell awoke her and she jumped up from her seat in excitement. She ran straight out the classroom, disregarding the teacher yelling for her to return to her seat. She didn't care how much trouble she would get in, she just wanted to get home as soon as possible and check the mail.
Approaching the walkway to her house, Lucy turned the opposite way towards the corresponding mail box. Her entire body trembled with excitement, and as she lifted the door to the small storage she felt her grin grow across her tiny face. Inside was just one envelope, and with sloppy hand writing 'To: Lucy-chan' covered it's front surface. Lucy snatched the letter out, and ran straight to her front door.
She stretched herself across her bed, pressing the letter to her chest. "I can't do it..." she whispered, tears forming. "But... he took the time to actually write me." She smiled, pulling the letter towards her face. "Here goes nothing.." Slowly tearing envelope at the top, the familiar scent that belonged to Gray engulfed her entire being. She pulled out the paper inside the remains of the envelope, unfolded it, and began to read it's contents.
"Dear Lucy, I'm sorry for whatever I have done." She froze, confused. "I promised you I would write you a letter every chance I got, but..." She felt her tears begin to fall as her fingers clasped the paper. "Well, Lucy, this is where I stop that."
Small Lucy stood in front of small Gray, covering her tear filled face with one hand and holding onto Gray's arm with another. Two tall figures stood behind Gray, along with a moving truck parked behind them. "Make this quick, son." One of the figures instructed, and they both walked away.
"Don't go, Gray-kun..." Lucy sobbed. "You're all I have left!"
Gray smiled softly, and pulled Lucy towards him. "I'll always be here, Lucy-chan..." His eyes were beginning to fill with little droplets. "I'll be here protecting you!"
Lucy's sobs grew louder, and soon her words became unrecognizable. "I... I... I love you Gray..."
"I love you too Lucy." Gray's smile still lingered across his face.
It seemed like an eternity as they both stood in silence, only Lucy's sobs filling the gap.
"Hey Lucy?"
Lucy looked up, and Gray leaned in towards her small face. Her eyes grew wide as Gray's lips landed on her cheek. "W-What...?"
"Be a good girl, Lucy..." He hugged her, wishing he didn't have to move to Kyoto or wherever his father was transferred to. "And maybe, I'll come back... Until then..."
"Gray!" The horn of the moving truck roared like a mighty dragon, and Gray immediately let go of Lucy.
"Bye, Lucy-chan." Lucy was speechless, but nodded in response.
"See you soon, Gray-kun..."
And like that, Gray disappeared from her life.
Lucy, now a teenager, trudged through the hallways of Fiore High School, proudly wearing their elite uniform. Her hair was longer, perhaps even passing her back, and she had a refined and mature look on her face. Her bag was slung over one shoulder, and her figure was one that any woman would die for. Not far behind her, a tall pink haired man followed. She obviously was averting his presence, but her attempts were futile.
"Lucy!" The man grabbed her shoulder, yanking her to a full stop.
"Hiiii... Natsu..." She averted her eyes to a different location other than Natsu himself. He smirked, and then forcefully cornered her up into a wall.
"How's it going babe?" He licked his lips and stared down at her chest.
She felt herself holding back her breakfast, and finally made eye contact. "Don't call me that, Natsu."
"Oh, Lucy Heartfillia... I swear you're the most beautiful, and sexiest," he nonchalantly added, "girl in this entire school. You have the exact thing I need to please my hunger, and yet, you've never put out." He cupped her chin and lifted her face to meet his, and began to lean in. "You're going to be mine..."
His face was so close Lucy could feel his breath tickle the skin on her nose. "I don't think the president of the student council should be sexually harassing another student." She didn't let her guard down. making sure her leg had it's place in between his legs.
"But imagine how much of a power-house couple we'd be, vice president of the student council."
Lucy found her chance, and lifted her knee as fast as she could to his manhood. "Consider yourself lucky this time, Natsu." She glared down at a now fallen Natsu, and tip-toed her way around his helpless body.
Entering her homeroom, Lucy scouted out her assigned seat and headed straight for it. She sat down and immediately pulled a book out of her bag. As she opened her book she heard the chair next to her squeak as it was pulled out, and looked up to greet her friend.
"Good morning, Mira-chan." The white haired girl sitting next to Lucy smiled, and then scooted further into her desk.
"How are you today, Lucy?"
"Just peachy." Lucy rolled her eyes and gave Mira-Jane a certain look which was enough to inform her of the idea. "Natsu is such an ass."
"What'd he do now?" Lucy opened her mouth to reply, but before she did she was interrupted by a brute voice.
"She nearly rid Natsu of his ability to reproduce because of his harassment, which I would like to say you would've done this world a favor." Lucy turned to face Erza Scarlett, one of their school's top students.
"And the entire school is talking about how horrible you are for doing it, Lu-chan." As if on cue, two blue haired girls walked in. One whose hair was quite wild and pulled back with a headband, and the other let it loose but it curled upwards. Following them was a tall dark man whose face was full of scares.
"Good morning Levy, Juvia... Gajeel..." Lucy yawned midway, and placed her head onto her desk. She could already feel the day was going to be long.
"Okay everyone, take your seats!" The teacher whispered as she walked in. "Before we get started, I have an announcement to make." Everyone who was standing rushed to their seats to await the suspenseful news. "We have a new student who's transferring today to Fiore, and I would like all of you to treat him with kindness. You all may recognize him from elementary school considering the fact that we are on a escalator system, but for those of you who have transferred as well I hope you treat him well."
"JUST FREAKIN' TELL US WHO THE DAMN PERSON IS ALREADY ARIES-SENSEI!" A deep voice roared from the back of the classroom, frightening the poor teacher.
"I-I'm sorry, Gajeel-san..." She timidly fiddled with the clipboard she possessed in her hands, and bowed her head in shame. "Y-You can come in now..."
The door flew open, and gasps filled the classroom as a teenage boy walked into the classroom, without a shirt. Ironically enough there was a tie neatly placed around his neck, but that just enhanced the girls squeals. However, Lucy and her friends sat in disgust at the audacity the boy had. His dark hair symbolized the very meaning of bed-head, with a eyebrow piercing barely visible underneath it, and his eyes slanted slighty. A familiar aroma filled Lucy, and her eyes grew wide. Feeling blood rush to her cheeks, she quickly slapped her hand onto her face.
"The name's Gray Fullbuster," the boy began, his eyes slowly turning to meet Lucy's. Lucy's entire face was red now, and many voices were screaming in her head. "And that girl right there," his finger cut through the air as he lifted it towards Lucy's person, "Is my soon to be girlfriend."
