Okay, so welcome to my new story. For those of you who have been following me for a little while, I've talked about this story in my past two stories so I am excited to see where this goes. I would also like to mention that I have written this first chapter at least twice now. I lost it the first time because my tabs closed suddenly and the second time, I lost WiFi connection. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this story and happy Valentines Day :)
"See you later, Mom!" Lucy exclaimed. She ran past her mother's Butsudan and slipped on her shoes. "I'll never hear the end of it if I'm late." Lucy stood behind the red and white pole that separated her from the train tracks. When the train passed, she continued running down the road. "You're running late." Somebody said. The blond internally groaned. Lucy turned to face Natsu Dragneel, the school's strongest gangster. "You'll never make any friends with that scary facial expression." He said. "I'm not trying to make friends, Baka." She replied. "You know, I'll be your friend!" Natsu exclaimed. Lucy looked down at the ground. It was hard to tell if he was being serious or not. "I'm going to be late to first period." Lucy ran down the street and into the school yard. Natsu had been left behind.
Natsu had skipped at least three classes that day. It was nothing new, but it bothered Lucy. Maybe she crossed the line. "I wouldn't worry about it. He'll come around." Lucy's friend Erza said. Erza was the captain of the kendo club. She was really strong and always seemed to scare anyone who passed by. "Besides if anyone lays a finger on one of my friends, they're toast." Erza cracked her knuckles. Her aura was sinster and sent a chill down Lucy's spine. "I don't think that will be necessary." Lucy tried to calm Erza down when Levy jumped into the conversation. "Just be careful around him, Lucy. He has more enemies than he does friends." Levy said. Lucy stared down at the ground. 'She's right.' Lucy thought.
Lucy was standing behind the register in a clothing store. A girl came in and started staring at clothes. Her long, purple hair feel down her shoulders perfectly straight. She didn't leave for a LONG time. The girl just stood there and stared at Lucy. Lucy was starting to get creeped out and finally her shift was over. She changed out of her uniform and walked out of the store.
The only thing that was lighting the streets were the street lamps. Lucy walked down the road with her bag until she made it to the road crossing that she passed earlier. This time, however, the girl from earlier was standing on the other side of the tracks. She had a group of thugs right behind her. "What do you want?" Lucy asked nervously. "You're friends with Erza Scarlet, right?" The woman glared at Lucy. Thugs were laughing behind her. "Who wants to know?" Lucy wanted to distract them and hope that someone would come. "We're hunting her down. Now speak or they will splatter you across the tracks." The blonde took a step back and tried to run, but one of the men grabbed her by the collar.
Just then a train could be heard in the distance. "Well then, better get answering." She said. Lucy looked towards the train a few hundred meters away from her. The guy threw her on the tracks. There was a snap in her leg and she couldn't move. "Natsu!" Lucy yelled.
Suddenly, Lucy was grabbed and thrown out of the way of the train. "You again? Didn't learn your lesson last time?" The woman with purple hair glared at Lucy's savior. "It looks like I might need a remedial class." The guy said. Lucy looked up to find Natsu. "Well Dragneel, class is in session." The girl said. The thugs ran up to Natsu and tried to beat up on him, but they were stopped by three other guys. Lucy recognized them as Sting, Gajeel, and Rouge. "Geez hasn't anyone taught you some manners?" Gajeel looked up at the thug and punched him square in the jaw. The other two, the twins, looked at the rest of the boys. "Wanna end up like him?" They asked in unison. The thugs shook there heads no. "Run." Sting glared at the men as they ran off. The woman gave Natsu an ugly look and ran off with the rest of her gang.
Natsu picked Lucy up bridal style. "Come on! We should probably find a hospital or something, Prez." He said. Lucy laid her head on Natsu's chest. "No kidding." She replied. Looking down at her seriously, Natsu decided to ask her a question. "Hey Lucy, be my girlfriend."
"WHAT!?"
