AN : These stories are co-written by me and my sister, although I run the Fan Fiction account. Our goal was to make a University AU for couple of different characters. They all take place at the same general time and have some connections. I am working on Levy, Erza, and a Cana, and I have ideas for other ones as well. But this one is Levy's experience.

Chap 1

Levy trembled with ill-contained excitement and anticipation. This was what she had been looking forward to all summer long. The moment after she received her acceptance letter to Magnolia University, she had waited impatiently for move in day to arrive. Levy had annoyed her family and friends for countless hours, going on and on about the upcoming school year.

And here it finally was. She looked around the bustling campus and noted groups of upperclassmen, most likely catching up with friends and recounting stories of how they spent their summers. Booths lined the sidewalk, advertising different clubs and sororities trying to recruit new students. Levy saw a couple that looked interesting, but pushed aside her curiosity for the time being. It was probably best to find her dorm room and drop off all her stuff first.

She adjusted the duffle bag on her shoulder in order to fish a folded piece of paper from the University out of her purse. 'Mavis Hall, room 268' she checked it again for what seemed like the millionth time. She turned over the paper, squinting in attempt to decipher the crude map on the back.

A soft voice interrupted her thoughts. "Do you need any help, dear?"

Levy looked up to see a beautiful upperclassman with white hair and kind eyes. A badge that read 'SGA Representative' on it was pinned to the top of her cardigan. The girl didn't give her a chance to respond.

"My name is Mirajane! On move in day we always have some volunteers from the Student Government Association to help the freshmen find their way around, and you looked a little lost."

"I am a bit lost, yeah… Could you point me in the direction of Mavis hall?" Levy asked, smiling back at Mirajane.

"Oh! You're in Mavis? That's where my younger sister will be this year as well! She's a freshman, just like you. Her name is Lisanna, don't be afraid to go make friends with her, she's very nervous about starting college." Mirajane looked so hopeful that Levy just nodded in response. "Oh right, Mavis Hall! Sorry about that." She pointed to a nearby sidewalk. "Just follow that path, look out for signs, and it should be on the left."

Levy thanked her and continued on, rolling the packed luggage case behind her. The interaction with Mirajane had put her in an even better mood. Hopefully most of the people here were as nice as her.

Levy followed the path, gazing in awe at how beautiful and clean the entire campus was. She'd think that with all these people milling about, there would be some sort of litter or dirt, but the white pavement stayed clean. The grass on one side was immaculately trimmed, while the flower garden on the other was masterfully coordinated.

She stopped when she saw the brick sign that read 'Mavis Hall'. Her gaze slowly lifted to take in the place she'd be living in for the next couple months. The building definitely had character with its brick exterior and colorfully decorated windows. The door was a surprising purple color, which contrasted with the vibrant pictures someone had chalked onto the sidewalk leading up to it.

"Woah, it's Mavis Hall! I hear anything goes there...It's crazy!" Levy honed onto a passing conversation as soon as she heard the name of her new lodgings. She quickly glanced at the person as they walked by, but immediately looked back the building.

'Well I guess this strange place will be home for awhile,' she thought uncertainly. She hoisted her bag higher up onto her shoulder one last time before she stepped up onto the colorful sidewalk. Halfway to the door she was stopped short by an odd colored cat running by.

Levy paused for a second, surprised, when all of the sudden she heard a voice yell, "Oi! Grab that cat!" A boy with bright, pink hair bolted around the corner. She jumped out of the way just in time to watch him run by and dive to the ground, catching the cat between his hands.

The boy picked himself off the ground, cradling the cat in his hands like a baby. "Happy, if you run around people will find out you live here, and we'll get in trouble." He scolded the unapologetic looking cat. He seemed to realize that someone had witnessed that whole thing, because he suddenly glanced up, giving Levy an almost pleading. "Please don't report us to the RA!"

She laughed a little bit at the boys reaction. He looked like he was about to shed real tears. "Don't worry, I won't!"

"Cool, thanks!" he said, deflating in relief. His attitude instantly changed into a cheery, carefree one. "My name's Natsu, and this is Happy. We live in Mavis, room 269."

"I'm Levy. It looks like we'll be neighbors this year! I'm staying in 268." She returned his infectious smile. Natsu seemed nice enough, but also gave off a troublemaker air. Whether the fact that she lived so near to him was good or bad would be discovered later.

"Awesome! It's nice to meet you! I can help you to the rooms, if you'd like?" He offered, holding out a free hand for the heavy duffle bag.

"Oh! Only if you're going that way, of course…" Navigating this foreign building would be much easier with someone else there, but she didn't want to make Natsu go out of his way.

"Yeah, I have to put this guy back." He blew a puff of air between the cats ears and received a soft meow in return. "Plus, it'll be thanks for keeping quiet about him."

"Thank you!" Levy said as Nastu took her duffle bag and led the way into the building. The inside was equally as wacky, with random, student drawn murals on each wall. She was pleasantly surprised to find a rickety, old elevator in the middle of the building. It'll definitely be helpful when she wants to check out ridiculous amounts of books from the library.

"You're a freshman, right?" Natsu interrupted her future book plans. He was leaning against the elevator wall, clutching Happy in his arms tightly.

Levy laughed sheepishly and blushed. "Is it that obvious?"

"A little." Natsu laughed. "It's okay, we were all freshmen once. I'm a sophomore, so I know how it is."

Levy nodded in appreciation. "It's a little nerve wracking, but hopefully it'll be a great year! "

"Yeah, that's the spirit!" He pumped a fist excitedly into the air as they exited the elevator. "I'm sure you'll like it here, there's a lot of great stuff about Magnolia University."

Levy followed Natsu down the hall to their rooms when the door to room 269 swung open violently, revealing a dark haired boy dressed in nothing but boxers.

She could feel her face burning in embarrassment at the lack of clothing, but a part of her couldn't help be amused. The boxers were patterned with one hundred dollar bills, which struck her as oddly hilarious. Did guys usually wear stuff like this?

"Oi, did you find your stupid cat?" The guy seemed completely unperturbed by her presence.

"Put some damn clothes on!" Natsu yelled at him, "Levy this is my roommate Grey. You're lucky, usually he wears even less than this..."

Grey waved at Levy uninterestedly and went back into the room, mumbling something about how he managed to get the most annoying roommate this year.

Natsu looked momentarily annoyed, but immediately relaxed into a more amiable expression as he handed Levy's duffle bag back to her. "Well it was nice to meet you! Thanks for not ratting me out!"

"No problem!" Levy waved and Natsu disappeared into his room. As she was plucking up the courage to go into her own room and face her unknown roommate, loud voices started to erupt from behind Natsu and Grey's door.

Would she like her roommate? She didn't want to end up like Natsu and Grey, with someone who bothered her to the point of arguing. Levy breathed deep and slowly opened the door to reveal the tiny room. It was a normal dorm room that came with sparse furniture like a desk, plain bed, a dresser and the like. One half of the room was already decorated and personalized, while the other half was barren.

Her roommate, who was writing in a journal on the bed, looked up. "Hey! I'm Lucy. I guess we're roommates this year." Lucy was a beautiful blonde, and from the looks of it, also pretty rich. She was wearing nice designer clothes and had high-end décor that looked like it came from a magazine.

First impression: this could be alright.

"I'm Levy, it's nice to meet you." Levy set her duffle bag on the bed and rolled the luggage close to the dresser. The part she knew she'd hate: unpacking.

Lucy chatted away while Levy unpacked her things. Lucy was in school to study English and planned to become a writer after college. When she told the blonde about her love of books, it started a ten minute long gushing rant about her favorite genre. When Lucy finally moved on from that, she mentioned that she came to Magnolia University, because it was where her mother went to school.

Something in the way Lucy's demeanor changed when she mentioned it made Levy think that there was something more to the subject, but she decided not to say anything.

"So, why did you decide to come here?" Lucy asked as she completely abandoned her journal by placing it on the bedside table.

Levy shrugged from her place on the floor, surrounded by towering piles of clothes and books.

"It's an interesting place…" She thought on it more. "Different from the boring usual, ya know?"

Lucy scoffed, "I'll say! Did you see that guy next door? Pink hair! And don't even get me started on his roommate!"

Levy laughed as Lucy described her strange encounter with the two guys next door, and she couldn't help think that this semester would be a weird one.

A weird one, but definitely a good one.
