I own nothing. I do not own Fairy Tail and I do not own Phantom which is where I got this idea from. It might seem like a Nalu fanfiction at first but I'm a Gruvia centric person. Criticism and love are both welcomed.

"Dad. I'm serious. This is the fifth body guard I've found stalking me at school this year!" Lucy exclaimed throwing her hands up in the air to emphasize her point.

Her father, Jude Heartfilia sighed, "You need to understand I'm just doing this to protect you. I have powerful enemies and if they got hold of you..." He looked up from his desk to his daughter. When she barged into the headquarters of the Heartfilia syndicate that Sunday afternoon, Jude had thought his daughter had come on peaceful terms. The two hardly ever saw each other since he sent her away to boarding school in Magnolia. Now, a few weeks into her final semester of High School she was beginning to be harder to protect.

"I know Dad, but it's hard to live my life when I've got two big men in black suits following me everywhere I go. And what happened to laying low? Bodyguards make me stick out like a sore thumb!"

Jude thought for a moment. The body guards he did have following her in the shadows in the past did stick out if they weren't careful, especially in a school full of teenagers. Lucy did have a point. He let out a sigh of relief, "Very well. I will lay off with the bodyguards. But I need you to be extra careful. Carry the present I gave you for your seventeenth birthday. Everywhere. Deal?" Lucy nodded. If she had to carry that around it wouldn't be as bad as having two big men in suits trailing her everywhere, "Good. I'm glad we settled this finally. Will you be staying for dinner?" He asked hopefully. It had been so long since they ate together.

Lucy however had other plans. She shook her head. "Sorry Dad. I have school tomorrow and the last train to Magnolia leaves soon if I hope to get back to school before eight."

"Of course. Do you need Caprico to escort you?"

"I can manage by myself Dad." Lucy turned on her heel and made her way from her father's office. She tapped her fingers across her phone as she stood before the elevator waiting for it to make the thirty something floor journey.

'You want us to wait at the station for you? Levy and I are already out ~J' Lucy read the message from one of her best friends. Juvia was a strange person, new to Fairy Academy last year, she had almost no memories of her past. When Lucy asked her how she ended up at F.A Juvia had given her a blank stare. She sighed and shook her head.

'No need to wait up. Natsu is picking me up. I'll drop by your dorm room when I get back. Save me some food ~L'

Juvia's reply came crazy fast, 'ooh Natsu eh? Don't do anything Cana wouldn't do ;) ~J'

The elevator dinged open before Lucy could reply. Out from the elevator stepped a tall, busty red head with a tight suit on. She smiled when she saw Lucy.

"Miss Heartfilia, my you have grown since I last saw you." She praised, grabbing Lucy's shoulders as a dark haired man in a light blue dress shirt with the first few buttons undone under his suit jacket stepped out behind her.

"Erza." Lucy said with a small smile. The woman before her had basically taken over the role of raising Lucy when her mother was tragically killed all those years ago. "Its Lucy Heart now, and I'm sorry I can't stay. I have school tomorrow." Lucy looked up at the dark haired man who adverted his gaze from her, his face was mostly concealed by a pair of dark sunglasses, "I don't recall meeting him before." She inquired.

"This is Phantom. I'm sure you've heard that name before. He is usually on jobs when you visit." Erza introduced.

"It's a pleasure to meet the daughter of Jude Heartfilia." Phantom said snapping his hand out behind him to catch the closing elevator door forcing them open again. Still, he didn't look directly at her.

"Of course." Erza said suddenly as if Phantom said more, "Sorry for causing you any delay Lucy. Be safe." They both stood aside and Lucy stepped into the elevator.

"Honestly Erza." Lucy sighed pressing the ground floor button, "When have I never been safe?" She asked as the elevator doors closed.

Erza watched through the gap of the elevator door until the numbers began to count down. She then turned down the hall towards the large double doors that lay at the end, Phantom trailing behind her. "I never would have expected her to be the daughter of the head of the Heartfilia syndicate." Phantom commented, breaking the silence as he reached out to grab the door handle to open it for Erza.

"That's why she is so safe. No one would ever suspect Lucy Hart to really be Lucy Heartfilia, daughter of Fiore's biggest crime lord." Erza replied calmly.

The two stepped in and approached Jude's desk, "Erza. I called you in for a reason. So I'm not going to beat around the bush." He greeted gruffly.

"Fire away sir." Erza said with a flick of her wrist.

"I need to borrow him." He said pointing at Phantom.

"Whatever for?"

"The Dreyars are becoming too big for me to handle. They've begun to act out." He then turned to look at Phantom, "You never did get the chance to finish High School did you?"

"No sir." Phantom replied respectfully.

"I thought you weren't going to beat around the bush." Erza commented smartly.

Jude ignored her, "There is someone I need you to take care for me. To do so I've enrolled you at the academy he is currently posed at." Jude produced a manila folder and pushed it across his desk. "We are not too sure of his identity so we can't go in guns blazing. I need you to infiltrate and investigate who he is. Once you are sure of his identity, kill him and get out of there."

Phantom nodded and picked up the folder, giving it a quick flip through, "Why must you steal my Phantom from me sir? I was aware that you had many assassins at your disposal. Why take mine?" Erza asked crossing her arms.

Jude laughed, leaning back in his chair linking his fingers over his chest, "Phantom is the title given to the best assassin we have. Why do you think he is named as such? Besides. If Lucy saw any more of my men snooping around her school she might not ever come back."

"You're sending Phantom to Fairy Academy? Are you sure this isn't a ploy to put in security in for your daughter without her noticing?" Erza asked, suspicious of his true motives.

"I won't deny it. Your target is after her. So yes, you will also be doubling as her body guard without her knowing. How you go about it is your choice. But get caught before the threat is eliminated I will not be merciful." Jude warned.

The assassin bowed his head, "I will not fail you sir. The threat shall be eliminated as soon as his identity is revealed to me."

"That's what I like to hear."

When the train finally pulled up at Magnolia station and strong arms found their way around Lucy she was finally content. "I told you I would come with you. I'm not afraid of your father." Natsu laughed as he hugged his girlfriend closer to him, feeling her stress leaving her.

"It was something I needed to do alone." Lucy looked up at him and brushed his pink locks from his face before placing a quick, reassuring kiss on his lips. They had been dating for almost a month now and had known each other since tenth grade but still Natsu didn't know the truth about Lucy. Juvia and Levy were the only ones who knew, and that was because Lucy was careless.

"But I still could have come with you. The train ride must have been lonely." He slung his arm around her shoulders and grabbed her small bag for her as they begun the walk back to the school grounds. Luckily there was a train station that was built mostly to accommodate for the students who didn't board at the school and went home each day. So the walk from the station back to school wasn't at very long one.

"It wasn't all that bad. Juvia's constant texting kept me entertained. Her mouth and imagination must not have an off switch."

Natsu laughed, "I'm sure Cana's imagination is more graphic."

"I don't know." Lucy shook her head, "I think Juvia may be receiving lessons from Cana. She's catching up pretty quickly."

"I feel sorry for the poor man that Juvia gets her claws into." Natsu half joked shaking his head.

"Natsu!" Lucy scolded, slapping his arm lightly.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" He held his hands up in defence, "Please don't kill me."

Lucy pretended to think about it for a moment, before shooting him a sly grin, "You're lucky you're cute."

"I prefer devilishly handsome!" Natsu said with a flick of his hair.

"You've been taking lessons from Loke again haven't you?"

"Actually." Natsu said defensively holding up a finger, "Mr Vastia gave me a few lessons on flirting when I was too scared to ask you out."

"You took lessons from Mr Vastia on flirting?" Lucy began to giggle uncontrollably, "You must be desperate to take lessons from him. You know I'm pretty sure he's a paedophile."

"He's not that much older than us." Natsu said seriously.

"He's twenty-three."

"And?"

Lucy rolled her eyes at him, "You know, I'm pretty sure he has a thing for Juvia."

"Now that's gross." Natsu shivered.

"Which part of that is gross?"

For a moment, Natsu thought about Lucy's question, "I think, him perving on Juvia."

"I rest my case." Lucy spun to face Natsu as they reached the girls dorm.

"Oh come on!" Natsu complained realizing she wasn't going to let him in the dorm.

"I don't think I can sneak you in again, you were almost caught last time!" Lucy argued.

"Almost isn't the same as actually being caught." Natsu said as she began to enter the building, "Don't I at least get a goodbye kiss?" Natsu pouted and Lucy just giggled as she disappeared up the stairs.

"Goodnight Natsu!" She called. Natsu watched as her legs disappeared around the stairs and didn't leave until there was nothing left to see.

Almost skipping, Lucy made her way down the long straight hall until she came to the open door of Juvia's dorm room. The blue haired Juvia, and the much shorter Levy who also had a similar shade of blue hair both turned to the door when Lucy entered, however they looked almost disappointed.

"Don't all rush to greet me at once." Lucy laughed dropping down on the floor next to Levy. They all sat in a circle around almost empty takeaway containers.

"Sorry Lu, we thought you were Meldy with the desserts." Levy explained as Lucy began to help herself to their leftovers. Meldy was Juvia's roommate and while now the pink haired girl's personality can only be described as a happy ball of sunshine, when Juvia first began they had a rocky start. It began when Meldy accused Juvia of being someone who did something terrible to Meldy in the past. Juvia, having no memories of her past simply looked down at her feet, told Meldy she remembered nothing and then proceeded to apologize for something she wasn't even sure she did.

Then this year when they were paired up as roommates they became the best of friends, "Why didn't you just all go to the dining hall like normal people?" Lucy questioned.

"Because we didn't send Meldy to the dining hall." Cana winked.

"And before you assume anything." Juvia began, "We didn't send her to the bottle-o either."

"Bottle-what?" Lucy laughed. Juvia sometimes said such normal things in a strange way.

"Bottle shop." Juvia began to explain, "You know, the place Cana buys her 'school supplies' from?" They all began to laugh at Juvia's explanation of a bottle-o.

"So how was your weekend with your Dad?" Levy asked once they had all calmed down from their giggling.

"He's agreed to lay off and let me go to school in peace." Levy and Juvia may have known of Lucy's situation, but Cana was still hopefully oblivious. That girl couldn't keep a secret to save her life. At least other people's secrets.

"Daddy helicopter parenting too much?" Cana teased, poking at Lucy's side. It wasn't exactly a lie, Jude was like a helicopter parent, however it wasn't her grades he was worried about.

A flash of pink suddenly appeared at the door, and Meldy came in, bright and cheerful as ever, carrying five small ice cream tubs on top of two large doughnut boxes, "Who ordered dessert?" She giggled dropping the food in the middle of the circle along with five spoons.

"Oh yum, you got me brownie." Juvia said snatching up her ice cream tub and a spoon. They all followed suit, grabbing a spoon and the flavour of their choice. Levy with chocolate mint, Cana with macadamia, Meldy with bubble gum and Lucy with half-baked cookie dough.

"I think we need to do this every night." Lucy suggested with a mouthful of ice cream and half a doughnut.

"Yeah, you can pay for it then rich girl." Meldy commented smartly. They only ever did this about once a month from the cost they would build up with the amount of food they ate.

"Alright, now that Meldy and Lucy are here. Boys. Now. Spill. Lucy." Cana demanded pointing her spoon at Lucy.

"Well, uh…" Lucy flushed bright pink, "You all know I'm going out with Natsu, so why do I have to start."

"That's exactly the reason why you go first."

"I know what you want to hear Cana but literally you all already know everything about me and Natsu. We're dating, he's an idiot but a loveable idiot. Juvia go." Lucy said turning the attention off of her.

Fidgeting nervously most of the time, Juvia jumped when the baton was passed to her, "Me? T-there's no one really." Juvia began nervously, "But I keep having this recurring dream about some guy-"

"Dream guys don't count." Cana interrupted.

"But Cana, I think I've met him before. Before I lost my memories I think I might have known him. Other than that, Bora wants me to take him back and-"

"No!" They all shouted simultaneously.

"Do not get back together with that idiot. Remember how sad you were when you were going out?" Lucy continued, leaving Juvia only to nod shyly.

"Cana." Juvia passed it on quietly, stabbing uncomfortably at her ice cream.

"Let's just say Bacchus has had to kick his roommate out a few times for the night." Cana winked and everyone groaned with disgust, "You asked." She defended herself, "Alright. Levy. That big oaf you are tutoring. How good is he with his hands?" She passed it to Levy whose face grew bright red at her comment.

"There is nothing going on between Gajeel and I!" She shouted a little too loudly for anyone to believe that it was a lie.

"Of course there isn't." Meldy grinned rolling her eyes.

"Well if you seem to know so much, your go." Levy snapped, pulling her knees to her chest. That shut Meldy up instantly who bit the inside of her cheek and looked down into her lap.

"That means there is someone!" Lucy pointed out, "Who, who?"

Meldy glanced around nervously before snatching up a pen and paper, writing down his name before passing it around the circle. She didn't want to say it out loud in case anyone heard.

"You. Little. Slut." Cana commented with a sly grin on her face.

"We haven't gone that far!" Meldy said quickly waving her arms in front of her.

"You could get him fired for this. Worse, you could get expelled!" Lucy said sounding genuinely worried.

"It'll be completely fine in about three months. If we still want it, then we will make if official. It's complicated." Meldy said hoping her friends don't think less of her for who he is, "Please don't think less of me." She added quietly, looking down.

"Of course we won't." Juvia said pulling Meldy into a hug, "Once we graduate I bet you two will be the most disgustingly cutest couple around. Next to Natsu and Lucy. Levy and Gajeel might be fighting you for second place though."

"I'm sure you know what you're doing." Levy agreed joining in on the hug and so did Lucy and Cana.

"Thanks guys." Meldy said quietly, glad to have such great friends.

Later that night, after Levy, Cana and Lucy left, Meldy was laying in her bed, blankets pulled up to her chin when Juvia came back from removing all the rubbish left over from dinner. Juvia flopped down onto Meldy's bed, tugging her blankets down so she could see her face better.

"What's up buttercup?" Over the year, Juvia and Meldy's friendship had become much like that of sisters.

"It's about… well you know…" Meldy looked down, trying to pull up the blanket again.

"Don't. Honestly, after thinking about it you two would be very cute together. If we were in any other situation your relationship with him would be completely fine, even the age gap isn't that bad. Lucy's parents had at least a ten year age gap, six years is nothing."

"But…" Juvia cut Meldy off by poking her in the cheek.

"Stop doubting yourself, and I wouldn't even question if he likes you or not. If he didn't like you he wouldn't risk his career." Juvia giggled

For a moment, the two fell silent, Meldy smiling softly at Juvia, and the blue haired girl returning her smile. Neither of them had anyone to be truly close to anymore, so they were glad at how close they were able to get to each other.

"You haven't had any more memories come back yet?" Meldy broke the silence.

"No." Juvia smiled sadly, "Just the faceless man. Every night it's the same. He's chasing me until I'm at the end of a dock. I turn to face him. He's wearing a white mask with two blue marks on it. I look at the ground and there is another white mask, this time with two red marks coming from the eye holes. I look back to him and he's pointing a gun at me. I can hear him saying something, but I can't understand it. He shoots, and I fall into the water…"

"And then you wake up." Meldy had heard this dream before, it was the nightmare that haunted Juvia's sleep almost every night, "It sounds more like just a dream than a memory. Do you think you used to be someone who had bad enough enemies that they would shoot you?"

"It would explain-" She held her hand just above her left breast.

"Juvia you're over thinking it." Meldy attempted to be as comforting as possible. When Juvia's memory began, she already had marks on her body. Three round scars just above her left breast, and what appeared to be a burn scar on her left thigh. She had no idea what they were from, but the more she had the dream about the faceless man, the more she believed the three round scars were from bullets.

"You're probably right."

"Like always." Meldy giggled, shoving Juvia lightly off her bed, "Now go to sleep, or at least let me sleep. It's late and its Monday tomorrow."

After settling into her bed, Juvia rolled onto her side reaching out to turn off her lamp, "Goodnight Meldy."

Meldy's eyes were already shut, but she was smiling softly, "G'night Juvia."

Monday mornings are a struggle for anyone, especially for High School students. Lyon Vastia understood this, and he saw it first thing every Monday morning with his year twelve tute group. One half of the class always seemed to be asleep, and the other half was trying to finish their homework for next period that they were meant to do on the weekend. Being a student himself not too long ago helped Lyon understand this even more, so every Monday morning he would let his tute group do anything within reason.

They were the smallest tute class in the grade, being less than the usual twenty five. Because of this they always got the new students. He had been given a new roll that morning, but as he watched his class file in, most like zombies, he didn't bother to give a look at the new student's name. He liked to play a guessing game, this time even having a bet going with two of his students, Meldy and Cana.

"So I see a clean new roll on your desk." Cana pointed out when she entered the room.

"And how would you know that?" Lyon asked leaning back in his chair.

"Because." Cana snatched up the folder and pointed to the bottom right hand corner, "'Cana is awesome' is no longer written in the corner."

"Oh, is there a new student?" Meldy bounded up beside Cana when she and Juvia came in not too far behind, "Boy or girl?"

"Not sure yet." Lyon snatched the folder back up from Cana and returned it to his desk.

"He always likes to guess." Cana rolled her eyes, then they lit up when she got an idea, "How about we make this interesting? If it's a boy, you pay Meldy and I fifty jewel each. If it's a girl we'll both pay you fifty jewel each."

"What?" Meldy snapped, "I don't have that kind of money to give away!"

"Just do it." Cana hissed in her ear.

"Alright. You're on." Lyon agreed with a smug grin on his face as he glanced at Meldy, "Don't like taking risks?" He teased.

Meldy's face flushed a light pink as Cana pulled her away, whispering something to her as they went to their seats.

So here he was, leaning even further back into his chair as he waited for the new student to arrive. They were the only one who hadn't yet arrived, and Lyon was looking forward to earning a hundred jewel.

But when the door swung open, Lyon almost fell off his chair and Cana burst out laughing calling out that she wanted her payment before the end of the day.

Quickly gathering his composure and rising from his chair, he looked at the new student with a smug grin which confused Cana.

The new student outwardly groaned when he saw the mass of spiky silver hair, staring at him smugly.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." He complained looking at his timetable. It read 'Tute LVA' how did he not pick up that LVA was Lyon Vastia?

Lyon couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "Watch your language little brother."

"Lyon." The new student groaned looking unimpressed with his older brother as his tute teacher.

"That would be Mr Vastia here little brother." Lyon turned to the class gesturing for his brother to find a seat as he smugly patted his brother's shoulder, "Everyone. This is Gray Fullbuster." He then turned to face Gray again, "Welcome to Fairy Academy."

Hey guys. Just testing the waters with this story. I know I said that about Juvia in Wonder and look where I am with that haha.

First things first, I know jewel have a different amount value sort of thing, but that's too complicated so the money will be like Australian values. (Which is pretty much the same to US I'm fairly sure.)

Two. Tute group is like homeroom or roll class or your form class. Whatever you call it.

Thirdly. Juvia's random speech I give her is just Australian. I've made no one else understand her for all you non Australian's out there. If I don't explain what she is talking about like I did with bottle-o I will write it here.

Don't think there is anything else. Tell me what you think of it! Review my darlings!
