Chapter 1

Music


Lucy stood there, dumbfounded and shocked.

It started in Hargeon.

Lucy was in a shop that sold jewelry. She had a thing for collecting necklaces. They were collectables that had names. She currently owned three silver-chained ones (Lycra, Crux and Horologium) and three gold-chained ones (Aquarius, Cancer and Taurus). Silver-chained ones could be bought, but gold-chained ones could not. They had to be found. Lucy gained Aquarius and Cancer from her mom and found Taurus on a ranch. Lucy believed that the when she wore the necklaces, they would give her power.

"I want a rare one!" Lucy squealed.

"We don't have many rare ones, but we have this." The shopkeeper held up a box. In it was a silver-chained necklace that had a dog (like) animal.

"Yes! I want it!" Lucy cried.

"But, it's not that rare…" the shopkeeper said.

"I don't care. I want it!" Lucy huffed. "How much is it?"

"20…" The man started. Lucy's face brightened, she would get a super cute necklace for such a small price! "20 000 jewel." The man finished. Lucy's jaw touched the floor. She knew that these necklaces weren't exactly the cheapest thing, but didn't he say this one wasn't rare!? Lucy mustered up all her feminine ability and said in her most seductive voice, "How much is it really you nice old man?"

Lucy stormed out of the door. She bought the necklace…for 19 000 jewel.

Lucy sighed and pulled out a copy of "The Music Mag".

The Music Mag was a magazine that was solely dedicated to the progression of musicians, usually ones in music guilds.

Music guilds were guilds that people could go to and start their music career.

Lucy dreamed of joining a music guild. Her dream one was called "Fairy Tail".

Lucy was sitting down, about to start reading the magazine when some girls ran past her screaming, "It's the Salamander! It's him!" Lucy looked up. Many more girls were running towards her. She took a step back to prevent being crushed by the fan girls.

Lucy looked in the direction they were running. A little down the bridge was a man. He was pretty good looking, and he was singing. His voice was also amazing. Lucy, entranced, started walking towards him as well.

Indeed, his voice was amazing.

"Salamander!" some girls screamed as they swooned.

"You're voice is amazing!" others squealed.

Lucy's heart was beating faster and faster. Is this…love? She thought. She felt her cheeks burning up. Lucy was about to start screaming his name as well, but a man (and a cat) ran in. For some reason, "Salamander" didn't entrance her anymore. The man had pink hair. Pink! Not to mention his cat was blue.

"Igneel?!" the pink haired man yelled. He had a good look at "Salamander" then said, "You're not Igneel."

The "Salamander" pulled out some paper and wrote his name. "Sorry I'm not what you're looking for kid, this is for you."

The pink haired man looked at "Salamander's" signature weirdly then shoved it away. "I don't need this, heck what is this. Who are you?"

That was the breaking point for the fan girls.

Lucy closed her eyes so she didn't have to witness the man being torn apart by the fan girls.

Lucy felt sorry for him. She looked over at "Salamander". He was holding a microphone. That wasn't really a big deal. He was a singer. But Lucy noticed a little detail on the microphone. I better thank this guy She thought.


"Thank you so much for saving me back there!" Lucy smiled. She had taken the man and his cat to a restaurant.

"No problem." The man said between chomps.

Speaking of which, this man ate like a dragon! There went her 1 000 jewel that she saved! "I don't really get what I saved you from, but this food is amazing!" The man said. "I'm Lucy, and you are?" Lucy asked. "Natsu and this is Happy." Natsu gestured to his cat (which ate the same amount as him).

"It may not seem like it, but I'm a musician! Not a fully fledged one, I have to join a music guild first!" Lucy went on and on about how she wanted to join Fairy Tail and what being in a guild was all about. Basically rambling.

"Well, I gotta go. Here give this to the waiter. This meal's on me 'cause you guys saved me!" Lucy smiled. She began walking out the door when she noticed that people were looking at her weirdly. Lucy turned around to see Natsu and Happy prostrating on the floor.

"Thank you!" Natsu said.

People were staring

Natsu's cat also seemed to say "Thank you".

"Thank you for the food." Natsu said.

These guys must have been starving! Lucy thought. There was no way that they would be doing this if it were a normal situation.

"No prob, but can you guys stop that? It's embarrassing!" Lucy said quickly. Natsu and Happy grinned and stood up. Lucy sighed and walked out the door.


"Hey, a (very annoying) voice said. Lucy turned to see "Salamander".

"What do you want?" Lucy asked bitterly. "I know what you were doing. On that microphone, there was a recorded voice! You were faking it to get those girls to like you!" Lucy exclaimed.

"Well, whatever. I've got a ball at my boat tonight want to come?"

Lucy sighed, "Why?"

"Well, have you heard of Fairy Tail's 'Salamander'?"

Lucy's eyes went wide. "Ohmygod yes! Can you get me into Fairy Tail? I'll come to your ball!" Lucy squealed.

"Sure." The "Salamander" said. "Oh, can you keep quiet about the whole microphone thing?" he asked.

"Sure!" Lucy said with hearts in her eyes. I'm getting into Fairy Tail! Lucy thought to herself.


Lucy was in a room with "Salamander". She was excited, too excited.

"Here have a drink." He handed her a drink.

Lucy hit away the drink. It smashed on the floor. "That was drugged with a sleeping drug. I only came here 'cause you said you would let me join fairy Tail! Not anything more!" Lucy said.

"Ooh, you're a feisty one." The "Salamander" said. Lucy looked behind her; men were holding women who were passed out. He can't be from Fairy Tail. He's the worst kind of musician, no, man there is! Lucy thought. She was about to run, she held her necklaces in her hand. But she was surrounded.

"You? You from Fairy Tail?" Natsu and Happy came crashing in. His cat was holding him from a rope. A rope. Happy dropped Natsu, and well… he got sick. Motion sick.

Lucy held her Aquarius necklace and prayed. She prayed to god that something would happen. And something did. A huge wave came crashing down on the boat; it swept everyone on it to shore.

Natsu, no longer motion sick was already throwing punches at "Salamander".

"Fairy Tail musicians wouldn't do something as low as this." Natsu said between punches. He was an amazing fighter. It seemed as though fire was emitting from him.

"I'm Natsu, Natsu of Fairy Tail, and I ain't ever seen you around, ever!" Natsu screamed. "B-Bora-san. It's him. It's the real Salamander!"

Happy appeared beside Lucy. He held a paper in his hand. It said something about "Bora of Prominence." Lucy smiled, but it fell when Bora held oil and matches.

"Natsu!" Lucy screamed.

Natsu just grinned and waited for Bora to attack.

The flaming bottle flew closer and closer to Natsu, but there was no scream of pain. Instead there was a slurping sound? Lucy looked at Natsu

.

. (No he did not eat it)

.

On Natsu's arm was a little wristband.

Happy had some pictures (somehow) and explained to Lucy that it was given to him by his foster father and that if fire was around, it would "eat" it and give energy to Natsu. Apparently Natsu's foster father was a very skilled man to create it.

Natsu smiled. He also had a weapon it was a glove. The glove was fire resistant. Natsu used some matches and held fire. Lucy was shocked. Natsu threw the fireball at Bora.

The aftermath was interesting.

Natsu went overboard. The side of a mountain was taken out. In result, the government soldiers chased Natsu, Lucy and Happy. Bora was arrested.

Oh, and Natsu brought Lucy to Fairy Tail.

That's how it happened. That's how Lucy got to her dream guild.

"Hello! I trust you're the girl that Natsu brought home? It's not like Natsu to take to women like this. But I can see why he does take interest in you." A very pretty woman said to Lucy.

"Hi, I'm Mira, you're Lucy right?" Lucy gasped. It was the Mirajane. Mirajane was a famous pin up model as well as a great musician.

"H-hello Miss Mirajane." Lucy stuttered.

Mira smiled, "Aww, don't act so formal! Call me Mira." Lucy nodded.

"This is my sister, Lisanna. Oh and this is my brother, Elfman." Mira pointed to a very pretty and kind looking woman and a bulky man who was going on about "man" or something or other.

"Come on, you should get your tattoo! Everyone gets one!" Lisanna smiled.

"Having tattoos are man!" Elfman yelled. A brown haired woman hit him because saying that. Why? Lucy really didn't know.

"Where do you want it?" Mira asked. Lucy raised her right hand, "Here!" Mira smiled and nodded. "Okay take a deep breath and close your eyes." Lisanna said. Lucy nodded. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes and waited. "Okay you're done!" Lisanna said. "PINK IS MAN!" Elfman yelled because Lucy got her tattoo in pink.

"Natsu! I got my guild tattoo!" Lucy smiled. Natsu shrugged. "Okay." Lucy fumed, "Well, Natsu, what do you specialize in?" Lucy asked. "I do guitar and sing! Oh, my stage name is, Salamander. Don't know how I got it…" Natsu said. "Oh. I just sing! But I do write my songs." Lucy replied.

"I do bass." A very naked man said to Lucy. She shrieked. "Gray, clothes." A very drunken woman said. Gray looked down and yelped. "Gray-sama, I have your clothes!" A woman smiled. "Thanks Juvia." Gray said. "Oh Gray-sama!" Juvia swooned.

"So you write your own songs?" A small girl with blue hair looked up at Lucy. Thank god, one normal person. Lucy thought. "Yeah I do." Lucy replied. "Ooh! I love singing lyrics, but I can't write them!" Lucy nodded. "Oh, I'm Levy. You're Lucy, right?" Levy asked. "Yeah…" Lucy said. "Can I call you Lu-chan?" Levy said, her eyes glistening. "Sure, as long as I can call you Levy-chan!" Lucy beamed.

"Oi shrimp." Lucy turned to see a bulky man with long black hair. "Introduce me." He said gruffly. "Oh, Lucy this is Gajeel. Gajeel, this is Lucy. Oh this is Pantherlily, otherwise known as Lily." Levy motioned to a cat. Lucy nodded, slightly intimidated. "I do heavy metal and sing." Gajeel said as he pulled a guitar out of nowhere.

"Don't sing!" a boy screamed.

"You'll hurt Levy-chan's ears!" another added.

"Shut up you two." Gajeel said grumpily.

"Jet, Droy, sorry. You know how Gajeel is." Levy bowed.

"Hey metal face, I hope you don't plan on singing!" Natsu screamed.

"You're just jealous 'cause I can sing better than you ash brain!" Gajeel shot back.

"Wanna make a bet?" Natsu snorted, his face now inches away from Gajeel's.

"Not unless you want to lose some money, sure!" Gajeel grumbled.

"I'm clearly better at singing than the both of you." Gray said.

The three boys were now in a full out brawl. Throwing punches. Natsu managed to hit Gray into Lucy. "Urgh, you're heavy." Lucy groaned. "S-sorry, Lucy right?" Gray asked. "Y-yeah." Lucy replied.

"How come everyone knows my name?" Lucy asked as Gray got up. "You're famous for being the first legitimate girl Natsu has brought home for a while."

Gray held out a hand to help Lucy up. Lucy gladly accepted it. She would've been up completely, if it wasn't for a crazy girl with blue eyes and hair. "LOVE RIVAL!" Juvia screamed. "Lucy-san how dare you lay a finger on my Gray-sama! Juvia will not tolerate it!" Lucy sighed another weirdo. (Then again, Lucy wasn't aware that Juvia… Juvia dramatized things. Juvia saw Gray holding out a hand for her, while on the ground, kneeling, reaching into his pocket, and maybe pulling out a ring. You get the picture.)

"Lucy-san, please come here before you get hurt any more." A small girl with long blue hair motioned for Lucy to hide behind the bar.

"Thanks." Lucy sighed. "Is this how it always is?" Lucy asked the girl. "Yes… I'm Wendy, this is Carla." Wendy motioned to another cat. "I sing, but I'm mostly on percussion." Wendy said.

Then Lucy heard what was probably one of the most terrifying things she heard in a while. "Who started this?" A scarlet haired woman asked. Gray, Natsu and Gajeel all pointed at each other. They all gulped. "I guess I'll have to punish all three of you." The woman said.

"Oh Erza!" Mira smiled. "Before you go do that, please meet our new member." Erza looked at Mira. "This here is Lucy, she is the first girl Natsu has ever brought home." Mira smiled, pulling Lucy from her hiding spot.

"Congratulations. I didn't think that there was any girl who could get through his skull." Erza said. "It's not like that!" Lucy squealed. "I am Erza." Erza said, brushing off what Lucy said. "Welcome to Fairy Tail."

"Ah! You must be the new member! Nice ta meet ya!" A woman slid over, with a barrel. "I'm Cana. Wanna be my new drinking buddy?" Lucy froze. "Cana, how about I get you another drink." Mira said hastily. Dramatizing the new member was not a good image. "YES!" Cana replied. Lucy breathed.

"Lucy," Lucy turned to see a small old man. "I am Makarov, master of Fairy Tail. This place is a guild where people come together. We work, laugh and play together. You may start working whenever you please. However if you wish to go up to the second floor you must have at least one rank C or higher musician with you." Makarov said.

"What?" Lucy asked. "Ah, yes. The jobs on the higher levels are much harder, one wrong move and it could be the end of your music career. That usually doesn't happen. Anyways, people here are ranked on their skill. Most people are rank D musicians. Then there is rank C, rank B and rank A." Lucy nodded and smiled. She made it to Fairy Tail.

Haha. I know, it's very similar to the normal FT! Sorry! I promise the next chapters won't be following the story. I do already have Lisanna and Gajeel etc. in Fairy Tail soo yeah. I know it's weird, but this is the intro chappie I guess. Also I know the wristband and glove are waaay out there, but if Lucy can hold a freaking necklace and pray for a wave then it happens, then surely there can be a fire resistant glove and a wristband that "eats" fire and transfers it into energy. Anyways, please review if you have any tips or whatever. I don't own Fairy Tail
