Authors Note:
I wrote this on pure impulse. I was rewatching Fairy Tail, and all of a sudden: INSPIRATION. It was great. Buttttt...I'm wondering if it's good. If I don't get that much support, I'll just drop this story. If you want me to continue, please support the story. Thanks!
Chapter 1
Lucy Heartfilia sighed as she looked around the platform. The trail behind her wooshed past, leaving the station. All around her stood people. Some were obviously businessmen, others wives waving goodbye to their husbands. And even children ran around, playing a game of tag.
Lucy smiled weakly. She hated being alone. She had no one here, no family or friends. But that's exactly what she needed.
Lucy took a deep breath and walked briskly off of the platform and on the street. She waved for a taxi and gave him directions to her new home.
"Where are you headed again?" The taxi driver asked gruffly.
"Um...Fiore Apartments, I'm pretty sure." She replied nervously.
The man nodded. Then, his eyes widened.
"Did you say Fiore Apartments?"
Lucy gulped and nodded.
The driver stopped the car on the side of the road and turned back toward her.
"Which building?" He asked in a hush.
"Um...a person online helped me get into one called 'Fairy Tail'."
The breathed in quickly.
"Fairy Tail is crazy difficult to get into! How did a young lady like you get there?"
Lucy thought back to it. FireDragonWizard, the guy she had met online in an RPG game, had invited her after he had destroyed an entire town in the game. And...the look his character had given her-
"Hello? Miss?"
Lucy snapped out of it. Now was not the time to think about how she had met him. It didn't matter right now.
"I have a friend." She said with a wink, and the cab driver grinned. "Anyway, can you get me there?"
" 'Course." He said, and they drove the rest of the way in silence.
Finally, they reached Fiore Apartments. Lucy asked the man to drop her off in front of the building "Fairy Tail", and he complied.
And she finally understood why he had reacted how he did when she told him she was living in Fairy Tail.
The building was large and lavish, with a gate in front. Behind the gate, a building at least a hundred feet tall stood, with a bell atop it, like in a church. The building was mostly made of gray stone and spread out extravagantly. And a flag hung down right in the middle of the building. The sign on the flag was impossible to describe, but it was beautiful.
"T-this is Fairy Tail?!" Lucy gasped.
"Indeed." The driver said. "This is why I was so surprised. I heard you can only get in here if you're super rich, or if you're personally invited from one of the members, which is rare. As far as I know, nobody's ever been invited."
"Well, I guess I'm a first." Lucy murmured.
The cab driver nodded.
Lucy paid him and stepped out of the cab onto the sidewalk.
As the taxi sped away, Lucy craned her neck up to see the top of the gate. It read Fairy Tail.
Lucy pulled out the key that had been sent to her. It was old and rusted, with strange carvings.
Lucy saw the gate had a place perfect for the key, and she pushed it in. Lucy turned the key with more effort then she thought should have been necessary.
The gates creaked, and finally, opened.
