CHAPTER 1
"Mommy… mommy!" cried the 9 year old blonde haired girl searching for her mom.
"What's wrong, dear?" she called out from the garden.
The blonde haired girl made her way to the perfectly manicured garden and said "Is it ready yet, mommy?"
"Be patient dear, I know you're so excited to celebrate your birthday party but you can't see it first. It's a surprise; you will see it tonight when the guest already arrives. Now go and wear something nice for tonight. I'll handle the things here" her mother replied with a sweet smile on her lips.
She skip to her room happily, smile plastered on her face. She arrived in front of a big well-built door and entered to her room. She saw her personal maid named Virgo with dresses scattered all over her king sized bed.
AT NIGHT.
"Wow…mommy. This is amazing. I love you, mommy!" she said while hugging her mother tightly.
"You're welcome, my dear Lucy." said her mom.
"Where is daddy?" Lucy asked her mom.
"Daddy is over there talking with a friend; he had a surprise for you later tonight after this party." replied her mom.
"REALLY?" she asks with pleading eyes.
"Yes dear" her mom smiled.
Her mom walked to a group of guest that is known to be her friends' parents. There Igneel Dragneel with his son a 10 years old pink haired boy, Natsu. He didn't have a mother because she passed away when giving birth to him.
Then she spotted Aries Stellar with her son Loke; 1 year older than her, an attractive boy with ginger colored hair. Their best friends but always argue whenever they met. His parent divorce when he is 3 years old.
Then there's her best friend Erza Scarlet with her brother Sho. They didn't have parents, so they were adopted by Mira, Lisanna and Elfman's parents.
Then there's Gray her friend who she can rely on everytime she have a problem; a boy with jet black hair, who is one year older than her. His mother Ul Fullbuster and his older brother Lyon always treat her with kindness and like their own family member. They were like brothers and sisters.
She then walks up to her group of friends and smile warmly at all of them.
"Happy birthday Lucy!" they all said at the same time.
"Thank you, guys. I love you!" smile spread across her face.
"That includes me too?" Loke ask Lucy.
"Yes, that includes you too Loke!" she giggled and smiled. "But only for today because it's my special day. I don't want my day to be ruined just to argue with" she smirks.
"Hahaha, yeah that's true" said Loke. "Oh yeah, here is a small birthday gift for you from my family"
A small gift neatly wrapped with a ribbon on top of it. "Thanks Loke!"
He just smiled and bid goodbye to them. It's getting late so he went home.
AFTER THE PARTY.
Lucy's P.O.V
"Daddy, mommy tells me that you have a surprise for me. What is it daddy?"
"You have to close your eyes first or it won't be a surprise" her dad smiled.
"Okay!" I said while giggling.
Then he held a neatly wrapped gift and there's a handwriting on top of it that says 'For our dearest Lucy, from mom and dad.'
"Now, open your eyes" he said smile spread across his face.
I open my eyes and saw the neatly wrapped gift and I ask if I can open it or not.
"Yes, you may open it dear" my dad replied.
When I opened it was a family album that is full of memory between me and my parents, from when I was a baby until now. It really is the best birthday gift my parents has ever given to me.
"Do you like it?" my dad ask me.
Tears started to form and I began to cry. I gave my dad a hug.
"This is the best gift that you and mommy had ever given to me. I loved it daddy!" I said it while giving my daddy a tight hug.
"We knew you would like it. Now go get ready to sleep" he smiled.
Then I ran to my bedroom and get ready to sleep. Just then I remembered the gift that Loke gave me at the party. I found it on top of my desk beside my bed and opened it. It's a necklace and there's my name carve on the heart shape necklace. It's so pretty. I saw a letter inside it.
Dear Lucy,
I hope you like the gift and treasure it forever :). I hope you will wear it someday. It will look beautiful on you. –Loke.
I smiled as I read the letter and sleep. I remind myself to thank him when I saw him but after the party I didn't have the chance to meet him. We all went to different school.
6 years later.
Lucy's P.O.V
Beep…Beep...Bee-
The sound of the alarm clock was heard in the whole room. I'm starting to get annoyed by the alarm clocks for always waking me up when I had the best dream ever. Then I realized that it's the first day of school. I already prepared everything; my clothes already folded up neatly in my luggage, my photo album (the one I got for my birthday), all of my books.
I'm going for boarding school this year called Fairy Tail Academy. My dream school since I was little. I studied really hard to enter the school because they only allowed people with brains to enter.
"Lucy dear, you better hurry if you don't want to be late for school. Dad is already waiting for you in the kitchen." my mom said as she entered my bedroom and saw that I just woke up.
"Okay, mom! I'll be downstairs in a moment." I said as I grabbed my towel and entered the bathroom. I took a quick shower and remembered how nervous I was for the first day of school. What if I don't have anyone I know there and I don't have any friends. What if they don't like me because I'm a Heartfilia? Heartfilia is one of the richest families in Fiore. I decided to ignore the thought and exit the bathroom.
I wear a blue tank top and a black skirt not too short and not too long either. I also wear my heart shaped necklace that Loke gave on my birthday. As I went down stairs I saw my dad sitting in the kitchen sipping his coffee.
"Good morning, dear" he said.
"Good morning, dad" I greet him with a sincere smile.
"Are you ready?" dad asks me as if he didn't want to let me go on a boarding school.
"Yes, I'm ready but just give me a warm smile of yours so that I won't regret my choice on going on a boarding school and leave you and mom behind." I said guiltily.
"It's just that we're going to miss you. My little princess is going on a boarding school and we will rarely meet each other but remember that I'm always there to cheer you on in any kind of decision you make." he said with a warm smile so that I don't feel guilty anymore.
"Thank you, dad"
"You're welcome, my dear"
"Now, finish up your breakfast and I'll be waiting for you in the living room" he said.
I started eating my breakfast; scrambled eggs and fried sausage with orange juice. Mom always cooked the dish for breakfast. I don't mind though.
A moment later I already finished my breakfast and head to the living room and when my dad saw that I'm ready he grabbed the car key and went to the basement parking lot.
The basement parking lot was big can fit more than 10 cars inside them. Today my dad chose to drive the silver Mercedes which was completely clean. When I said it's completely clean, seriously it's clean alright as if it's brand new.
"Wow dad, when is the last time you ask the driver to wash the car?" I said amazed by the sight of the car.
"Probably 2 years ago. It's been a while since I use this car" my dad replied seeing my surprise reaction.
"Speaking of driver, where is he? I thought he was the one who was supposed to drive me to school." I ask with a slice of curiosity.
"Oh, I gave him a day off today because I wanted to drive my little princess to the school myself" my dad said and started to put all of my stuff inside the car.
"I can't believe you did all this for me! You are the best daddy in the whole wide world" I exclaimed so that he can hear me.
After my dad finished putting my stuff in the car, he went to the driver's seat and started the engine. Released the brakes and started to drive until we meet a wide driveway out of our mansion. The whole journey was silent. I was completely tired and fall asleep.
My dad wakes me up as I arrive at the school. The school was big and it was surrounded by a beautiful school lawn with red roses and even a fish pond and a bridge. I'm guessing it's a place where student always hang out whenever their having a problem. I wasn't surprise when I saw the school because I'm already used to it. Everything in my life was full of luxury stuff.
My dad already finishes unpacking my stuff from the car and kissed my forehead and bid goodbye to me. He drove out of the school gate as I watch him and wave goodbye.
I was completely nervous and find my way where all the new students were asking to wait for the principal to make his announcement. On my way there, I find someone familiar with beautiful scarlet hair with her friends an attractive guy with pink hair and jet black hair. Soon I realized that it was Erza, Natsu and Gray.
I gasp when I saw how beautiful Erza had become and how Natsu and Gray never change their attitude; always arguing with each other and Erza was always the one who stopped them. But as I saw them I noticed that most of the girls were staring at them, not because of their arguing, it's because their good looking and sons of Fiore's richest family.
It's just the first day of school and they already have fangirls. I chuckled and made my way through the crowd to the group.
"Hi guys. Remember me?"I said to them.
"Lucy?" they all said at the same time, surprised on what their looking.
"What?" I said curiously.
"It's nothing… I-It's just that you have grown up a-a-and you become a perfectly beautiful girl…no I meant woman…n-no I meant lady… Forget it" he stuttered at every word he said and gives out a nervous laugh and looked away blushing.
"Y-yeah, Luce" Natsu replied still surprise at what they saw.
I laugh nervously at their statement and maybe I'm already as red as a tomato because of blushing.
'Why am I so nervous around them? Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other in such a long time… yeah, maybe because of that'
I tried to convince myself with the thought and it worked. I walked to Erza and hugged her. She is my very best friend in the whole world, she may be scary sometimes but I'm already used to it.
"ERZA!" I said as I hugged her.
"Lucy! How have you been? We haven't seen each other since 6 years ago huh?" she asks while hugging me.
"Perfectly fine but I missed you guys… Say can we have a group hug because I kind of miss our group; the last time I remember we met was on my birthday party when I was 9" Lucy smiled at the thought of her birthday party.
"Of course we can, we're best friends, right?" They all said in sync.
Natsu who has already recovered from his own world and Gray, who is already normal after blushing on what he had said a while ago, noticed at what I said a moment ago and performed a group hug.
A moment later the principal has arrived in front of the school and introduced himself to the new students.
Hello everyone, I'm principal Makarov and here I'm going to give you a quick briefing about this school. As you can see around you there are houses and each houses are new and can fit about eight students. Each house must be filled with 4 girls and 4 boys, but the choice is up to you in which room you want to be in. Note that each house has four rooms and that means you have to share your room with someone, so choose your roommate wisely. Each bedroom has 2 bathrooms and 2 queen sized bed. Each house has 1 living room and a kitchen. If you want to know which house you're in see Macao-sensei later in his office. Don't forget to take your schedule from me later when you have the time. Well that's probably about it and you have the rest of the week free for yourselves. Classes will start next week, so don't rush things up. Okay?
By that principal Makarov ended his announcement and went straight to his room.
'I bet this is going to be an interesting school year ever'
I thought and smiled. I head back to the group and have a chat with them to catch up on what they are doing for the past 6 years.
Sorry for my bad grammar and wrong spellings.
Until next time :)
