Hey Guys!

Welcome to my first ever fanfiction.

I am really excited to finally be able to share my thoughts, instead of it being cooped up inside of me all the time.

Anyway, I'm going to get a few questions off my hands.

Firstly, I'll be uploading whenever I feel like it, but I'll set a goal to upload at least once a week (my main days being Saturday and Sunday, since there is no school then).

Secondly, I ship NaLu, Gruvia, GaLe and Jerza. There will not be extreme signs of this in the fanfiction, so I don't ruin anyone's time by being annoying and shipping two people who already have about 2 thousand fanfictions about them being together. Though, if you want a good NaLu fanfiction, check out One Wish by Kat A. Klysmic (there are also some other stories I love in my favourites). Also, I will not be shipping my OC with anyone but other OCs, so I don't ruin anyone's time.

Thirdly, I will be using "favourite" with a u, thank you very much.

Fourthly, I accept any suggestions for my story, but pure hate will get you blocked.

Also, I do not own Fairy Tail. It is owned by Hiro Mashima and the other awesome people who enable us to watch and read this amazing story.

Last of all, enjoy this fanfiction!

Chapter One

Leia Rose shivered in the cold wind, hands shaking. She was staring at the grave of her beloved, her emotions threatening to collapse in on themselves. She lay a bunch of blood red tulips at the tombstone, crumpled and broken from when she had dropped them at the sight of his grave, losing control for a second. It should have been her. Onlookers watched her with pity, knowing perfectly well the horrors that had befallen her. The 18-year-old then had tears running down her face, then she was crying painfully, then sobbing uncontrollably. But, she knew she had to live on, for him. The teenager felt a hand on her shoulder, and twisted around, mourning temporarily interrupted, black hair whipping against her skin.

"Leia," whispered the man.

She brushed away her tears against her sleeves, and broke out into a lopsided smile.

"Rufus Dean," she beamed, wiping away her grievance to the side for a later date.

He, of course, was her best friend, but she would never think of him becoming her boyfriend. Her heart was still permanently attached onto her former lover, even to death. The young lady had never seen him in a romantic light before.

"Do not forget your past, but don't let it plague you. Crying over your dead soulmate is perfectly fine, but do not forget that he sacrificed himself so you could live."

"Y-yes."

Natsu Dragneel was bored. That, in itself was already a danger warning, sirens should've be blazing and everyone should've be evacuating the building. Well, he was in the guild, and therefore about 99% of people in his blast radius were mages, so maybe not so much. Team Natsu had recently gone on a mission, and today (the day after the request was fulfilled), Lucy was doing "something important" (Natsu and the rest of the team cautiously suspected she was writing her novel). So, therefore, thus, ergo, Natsu, Gray, Wendy, Erza, Happy and Carla were stuck at the guild doing nothing. Then, out of no-where, Natsu got a maleficent idea.

Meanwhile, Lucy was happily humming away as she finished the 21st chapter in her novel. Once she printed the last letter, she returned the feather she was using back to the ink pot, and sat back contently. She planned it to have 35 chapters altogether, so she was making good progress. Once she finished it, Levy was going to read it. A thought crossed Lucy's mind, so she sat up and frowned at the rough draft she was writing. It wasn't enough to be published. Sure, there would be an editing process, but the plot and characters were childish, and would never be published in a real book if the author had a reputation they wanted to keep. She would have to consult her blue-haired friend.

Getting out of her chair for a quick snack break, she wondered if there was someone who could give her writing tips (Levy, though loving reading, had barely ever picked up a quill with the intention of writing an entertaining novel). She sighed and rested her chin on her hand. This simply would not do. As she walked up to the fridge, she heard an odd flicking noise, and, curious, turned around. The result made her jaw drop. Natsu Dragneel, team member and nuisance, was reading her novel, with Happy the blue exceed next to him.

"NATSU!" Lucy shouted in an over-the-top manner, following up with one of her famous "Lucy Kicks", then snatched up the draft. Natsu now lay on the floor, utterly defeated by a non-magical attack.

"I was only looking..." Natsu groaned pathetically, forgetting how painful, figuratively and literally, his blonde haired comrade could be.

"How about you look at something else?" she muttered angrily, clearly annoyed at her friends overly reckless personality.

"But... ...your novel is really good Lucy," complained Natsu, completely oblivious to what he was saying meant to Lucy.

She blushed, taken aback. She stared at her her novel, doubtful. There was no way her story matched up to those like on her bookshelf.

"I bet your favourite author doubted their self when they published their books, and look where it got them. They now are liked by some book hoarder."

Lucy was not sure whether that was a compliment or an insult, but it still quelled many fears inside her.

"If it's so good, let me read it," said Gray, standing next to her in his underpants.

"What are you doing here?" grumbled Lucy.

"We came with Natsu," informed Erza, who Lucy just realized was standing right next to an open window.

She decided it would be a good idea to get locks on her windows.

The next day, Team Natsu had successfully chosen a job to exterminate rampaging magical creatures, and were currently riding the train to Oshibana, much to Natsu's demise. Lucy, with her whimsical personality, was still brooding over her story. Natsu was a little over-the-top sometimes (and by sometimes she meant all the time), so maybe it was just his lack of good literature that made him think her novel was good. Then again...

"Lucy?" Erza interrupted her train of thought.

"...yes?" Lucy replied, clearly oblivious to her surroundings.

"We were just talking about our first job as a team, albeit unofficial."

"Ah... ...yes, when we destroyed the train tracks, half a city and an entire mountain."

Wendy laughed politely. Lucy looked at her quizzically, and the penny dropped.

"You really did that?!" Wendy exclaimed.

"I bet anything is possible in Fairy Tail," muttered Carla.

"Yeah, we blew up a mountain. Come to think of it, you haven't seen us destroy a huge land mass yet. Want us to show you?" Gray said.

"...I think I'll pass..." Wendy whispered nervously.

"A shame."

Lucy glanced at Wendy's face and smiled. Even though she had been here for a long time, she still wasn't used to the shenanigans of Team Natsu.

The train stopped suddenly. Immediately, Natsu jumped up and said, "Where's the monsters? I'll destroy them!"

"Natsu, we only just stopped at Onibus. Then we'll stop at Kunugi, and then we have Oshibana," Lucy informed Natsu.

He slumped back in his seat, defeated by a train for the billionth time in his life.

A smile tugged at Lucy's lips.

So how did you like it?

This chapter was a bit short, and they will be longer in the future.

Thank you for reading (and hopefully enjoying) my fanfiction!
