Authors note: I was thinking about how Natsu is a DRAGON slayer and Lucy is master of STARS and then I said Lucy Is a dragon's star and I thought I might make a story about it. So here you go!
It was a normal day at the guild, everyone was present and simply relaxing or out on a mission. Except one person, the guild's favorite celestial mage.
Lucy's Apartment
Lucy was sitting at her desk scribbling down ideas for her next story. Levy had been bothering her constantly about how it is extremely rude to leave off a chapter right before the guy is going to confess his feelings and how cliffhangers suck and yada yada yada. She knew she was right, but Lucy's mind was not with the story at the moment. It was with the characters. They were madly in love and were (like in every romance novel in the world) going to get a happily ever after and a fairy tale ending, but Lucy couldn't write it without scoffing.
Real life isn't like that. Sometimes you love someone with all your heart and they don't like you back. Or let's say you do confess and end up getting married. You can get cheated on or get in a fight and get divorced. Even worse, you could have kids and then get divorced. Both you and the kids are left sad and screwed over, left with the trouble of money problems.
In stories the characters automatically get a happy ending filled with romance and happiness. They don't have to deal with the question "Does he like me back?" Or even if they do he will automatically like her back because the author has the ability to make them fall in love.
In the real world half the time girls just want to go out with a guy to lose their virginity or because he's hot and can give them a rich future. Then guys just want to get into a girl's pants or have something they can show off and play with.
Once they're done playing they discard the person. And sometimes, that person they played with actually has feelings for them. Once they are discarded they have a broken heart, and if they can't take the pain then they will shut themselves out of the world and build walls around their heart. The more pain they feel, the stronger the wall. They don't trust feelings and don't believe in love.
Even worse is if they become like the person who hurt them, using people without cares for their feelings.
Lucy wouldn't know, she had never been heartbroken before. But she had been a shoulder to cry on for countless heartbroken friends. Eventually after hearing all of the stories and wiping away all the tears, she had come to this conclusion, love is lust sugar-coated with lies.
She didn't listen to the conclusion though. She still wanted someone to love her. She wanted someone to say those cheesy love quotes and hold her hand. Someone to surprise her and hug her from behind. Someone she could have and enjoy her first kiss with. She wanted true love like in all of the romance novels she's read and writes.
Lucy paused from writing and stood up. She needed some fresh air. She walked over to the window and opened it. The fresh air was nice, but the view made her instantly groan. There was a couple walking hand in hand down the street. They paused (coincidentally in front of Lucy's apartment) and started making out. When their tongues got involved Lucy slammed the window shut and turned around. She was as red as a cherry.
"Stupid couples." Sometimes she hated couples, other times she wanted to be one. It depended on what mood she was in.
After once again losing motivation, she just decided that she would call it a chapter and head for the guild. She was bored and needed some advice. Levy was going to kill her for leaving off right before the girl answers his confession, but with no experience of her own she didn't know how to make it believable. With a sigh she exited her apartment and headed towards the guild.
The Guild
Levy was sitting at the bar in a cheerful mood. She was eagerly waiting for Lucy to write the next chapter of her story. She couldn't wait and was practically bouncing in place.
Only Gajeel seemed to notice her bright smiles and excited behavior. He always kept an eye on her. He called it 'Shrimp Spotting'. He was tempted to walk over and ask her what she was so happy about, but then Lucy walked in the doors. He decided he'd just wait.
Levy ran up to her with a squeal and snatched the papers right out of her hand. Then she ran back to her table and began to edit/read the story. Lucy on the other hand walked over to the bar to go talk with Mirajane.
She sighed and sat down at the bar. "Mira... Am I pretty?"
With a shocked look Mira turned around and looked Lucy in the eye. "Lucy you are one of the most beautiful girls in the whole guild and don't you forget it! Why the sudden lack of confidence?"
"Okay but... why won't anyone ask me out? Why won't anyone love me?" Lucy sighed and looked up at Mira waiting for a reply.
Mira opened her mouth to reply but was interrupted.
"Oh that's easy."
A new voice popped up behind Lucy. She whipped her head around and came face to face with Gray, smirking down at her.
"You're Natsu's girl."
Well, there's chapter one. Leave a review and tell me if I should keep writing. Love ya all! Until next time!
