(A/N: Hi! I bet you're reading this! Haha... Silly joke, I know)

Disclaimer: Do I look like I own something? I do? Awww... Thanks! But I do not own Fairy Tail, unless... Nah, just kidding. Seriously talking, I do not own Fairy Tail, although if I did, it would be more messed up than it is.

In a place full of misunderstandings, too-clean, and expensive-looking...

It should have never end like this.

And the worst of all, they had warned us about this. He had warned me about this.

It made me so mad. I seriously wanted to kill everyone.

But I couldn't. Well, phisically, yeah, but, couldn't in many other ways.

He came into the room, surrounded by guards. I was sitting in the same place I had to every single day. My face showed no expression, and the man beside me was looking exactly like me.

And he, who was now kneeling, was smiling. Smiling at me. A guard hold his head down so I couldn't see him.

'Do you, Sergeant Jellal Fernandez, acknowledge your crime?' the man I call husband said.

I couldn't get my thoughts straight. One side of me wants to scream at him and tell him Jellal was innocent, lie to him. And the other side knows I can't, that it is not possible, that this is the right thing, even if it doesn't feel like it.

The guard lets go. He slowly raises his head, flicks his hair off his face, and smirks. 'I do'

I stare at the blue-haired. Dear god. 'Send him to the dungeon. Now!'

Dungeon? I thought. The penalty should have been death... Does he... know?

'I'll go to the library, join me, dear?' he says after a few minutes, when Jellal and the guards aren't around.

'It would be my pleasure' I say slowly, trying to process all of this.

'Is something wrong?'

'N-no. I just got distracted'

'Good. Please walk by my side' he said.

In another, dirtier and simpler, place...

'Mmhm...' I mumbled. I was staring at the huge castle, miles away.

'It's something wrong, Natsu-nii?' said a black-haired kid. He was wearing the usual clothes, a long, dark, sleeveless open jacket and loose, light-colored pants.

'No, Romeo, I'm just wondering what would it feel to be king'

'If you're talking about our king, I bet it would suck to be as coward as he is'

'No, not talking about being like that king, just, me, being king, what would that feel like?'

'I guess we'll never know' he said, not even thinking about it.

'Yeah...' I said, going deep in my own thoughts, when Romeo interrupted.

'What about the hat?' he said.

'I don't know, I never use it, just wanted to try it on once'

...Silence.

'So, Natsu-nii, you're eighteen'

'Yes' I confirmed.

'Are you joining the army?' he asked, curiousity and admiration glowing in his big black eyes.

'Yes! It will be awesome! Finally I can do something for Fiore!' I said excited. 'Actually, I was heading to get enlist, when I got distracted'

'Great! I'll go with you!'

'No, you're not,' I rubbed his hair and said 'you're going back with Macao, it's getting late'

'Come on, stop treating me as a child'

'Hey, it's like, 1:00 am, I have to go to sleep. I'll just hurry, write my name, and go home, plus, I don't want the old man on me' (A/N: Not kidding, it is 1:09 right now. But FUCK IT, see, I'm a badass XD)

'Alright, see ya tomorrow morning'

'Later, Romeo' I said, and he turns around and walks home.

'Later' he says, waving not looking back at me.

I walked to the place where the board was. There were many stuff in it, but all I cared about was the list and screen in the center of it. I had enlisted. My finger print had been analized, I was allowed to fight. While staring at the name I had just wrote, a girl passed behind me.

'You're going to enlist? You know you'll die, right?' she said, I didn't even turn to look at her, even though her voice sound quite familiar.

'All my family works in the army, my father, my mother, cousins, even my little sister is already training for it'

'They'll put you in the front lines, not even on a horse, and then you'll be on your own, not even your friends or family will be able to protect you when you're in the battle' I took off my hat, that was covering completely my NOT PINK, salmon hair. And heard her sigh.

'Lucy?' I said, finally recognizing her voice. I turned around to look at the blonde with a worried look in her face.

'Don-' she said, and saw it was already written, and a big ACCEPTED in green glowed in the screen. 'You've done it. Oh, Natsu' she said, her voice cracking.

We hadn't talk in what? Seven years? Yeah, I think so. We used to be best friends, but she moved, and I never saw her again, until now.

'Luce, you don't have to worry! I-I'll be fine!' I reassured. She stared at me with teary eyes.

'Don't lie to me, Natsu. You know I always know when you do'

In another, troublesome and not-awesome, place...

'Gray-sama?' said a blue-haired seventeen-year old young lady, dressed ready for battle, a bow in her hands and a bag with arrows hanging on her shoulders.

'Yes, Juvia?' I said, she was helping me to put the 'armour', if you can call it that way.

'Juvia's ready' she said, her eyes confirming it.

'I'm glad. You'll do great. I'll see you tomorrow morning, alright?' Why did I even say that? I mean, there is no guarantee I'll be able to keep that promise. She finished with the armour. 'Thanks'

She nodded and turned around, but turned around again, staring at me. 'Erm.. Gray-sama?'

'Yes, Juvia?' I reply.

'J-Ju-Juvia is in love with Gray-sama!' I smiled, she said that before every battle in which one of us was there, and yet she kept stuttering.

Which I found slight funny and mostly annoying, I never said anything to it. I just stayed silent.

'A-a-and even if G-Gray-sama d-doesn't ever-'

'Juvia' I interrumpted.

'Y-yes?'

'Don't say that.'

'W-what?'

'EVERYBODY GO THE BATTLEFIELD, RIGHT NOW! THE BATTLE'S BEGAN!'

(A/N: Hey there. That was a nice cliffhanger (s), right? So, this was chapter 1 of 'A Chess Game'. A little introduction of how things will be going to be like. But our POV's won't always be the same! Next chapter it would be the other side of the ship (That would be Jellal's POV, Lucy's POV, and Juvia's POV). Sadly, as I'm me (completely irresponsible), I have published this in a time where I should be studying for my final exams and focussing in not 'llevarme todas las materias'. Well, uhm, let's do the usual few questions (if you want to, I mean, do whatever you want) Does the king know? Know what? And why did Romeo say the king was a coward? And the battle has began... What will happen next? (Haha, the best part is you don't know and me either!)

(Extra A/N: There's a party in my neighbourhood... TT-TT Can't sleep. I guess I can keep writing... Nah, Let's see what I dream and then I'll write about that. Oh, and if you wanted to know... It's 2:43 right now)
