Normal POV
The sun's rays shimmered upon dust that floated along in the air, giving the world a wistful glow. A glow that could rival with the beaming golden haired girl that twirled around in it, soaking in the warmth that the atmosphere leaked.
"Ahem...Mistress?" The blonde girl paused her spinning at her respective title's mention. "Yes, Cancer?" she tilted her head to the side, curious as to what she was needed for. The servant bowed his head, "We were ordered to unload your luggage upon arrival by Heartfilia-dono's command, may we begin now?" His straight posture and proper manners were mandatory for a butler to have. The girl, Lucy Heartfilia, heiress to the 'Love and Lucky Corporation' owned by her father, stepped gracefully forward with a gentle smile. "Of course."
For the next hour or two, maids and butlers, servants and master chefs filed in then back out of a small two story buiding with light blue siding and white shudders, bearing luggage that would beautifully decorate Lucy's new house. Although being sixteen, she set out to join a public school to become one with the people who helped her father's company go 'round, at least that is what she told her father.
-Flashback-
The clicking of heels against perfectly chiseld marble resonated throughout the large mansion in which Lucy Heartfilia was tutored and raised, entirely secluded from the outside world. "Father!" Lucy softly shouted as she continued her excited jog to her fathers office. Ignoring the servants who pleaded her to slow down for her own saftey, she found herself in front of spruce wood double doors panting for breath. She swayed in excitement as she lightly knocked on the doors that led to her father. Lucy clutched a folded piece of paper tightly to her chest, as she grasped the golden door knob. "Father?" She entered, the smell of old and dusty books tickling her sensitive nose. "Hmmm, Lucy. What do you want?" He took off his circular glasses with an aggitated sigh. "Are you tired father?" She spoke with concern as she stepped closer slowly. "Yes. Now what is it that you need so badly," he glared as the girl began to smile, oblivous to his cold voice. "Father," she straighten up in the attempt to look more grownup, "I have decided upon a school to further my education in. One in which will set me off to a lovely path for the beginning stages of my inheritance of the company," Lucy gently placed a blue and gold brochure down on his desk, her father looked relieved for a moment then slid his spectacles back on. "This may just be the only decent thing to happen today," Jude sighed then began to inspect the written work.
"A public school!" He scowled at his daughted, obviously displeased by the news. "Yes, but may you understand that Fairy Tail Academy is by far the best in eduacational value. It will also teach me how to speak properly to those below us, for they are our consumers in this economic battle. It will inform them that our company will be in good hands in your retirement, because I will only be in the most flattering of behaviors to the benefit of our family's name," She spoke, persuation evident in her voice. "How are you sure that you are not too advanced academically to blend in with the commoners?" Jude seemed quite a bit more likely to accept her decision. "If I am, it again shows our superiority as individuals, don't you agree father?" Jude again exhaled deeply, "Do as you please. You will be set off to live near the school. And if you dare put our name at risk and to shame, there is no doubt in my mind that I will disown you and birth another to gain the company," Came his monotone voice in reply. "Of course father," she bowed her head, sheilding her glee. With that the servants began loading the cars with items that would decorate the home, while Lucy's old tutor enrolled her.
Lucy ran up the steps and through the carpeted corridors to her room. She squealed and began to pack sentimentals and threw her ballgowns to the floor reveiling two 'commoner' outfits, that she hid for a day like this. Lucy was disgusted with herself to say the least. To coax her father she forced herself to title the people of her city as ones of lower ranking and as peasants. Despite that small negative Lucy smiled brightly and made her way to her limo. Maids and butlers carried her smaller things to the vehicle that would lead her to a happier life. She has always yearned for friends of her age and now she had the chance.
-End Flashback-
Lucy smoothed out her pastel pink sundress as she walked past her servants, nodding and speaking her thanks to each. She walked into her new home, her breath hitching at the sight of the decorated house. It was quite breathtaking. With its cream colored walls and spruce wood hardfloors, that complimented eachother well. The home had a black couch with a glass coffee table laying in front of it. To the right of the living room were three floor-to-ceiling bookshelves stuffed with old and new books that piqued Lucy's interest. Lucy walked further into the house finding a kitchen with the finest of counters and appliances, a large master bedroom and a quest room, along with a study very similar to her fathers. To say Lucy was delighted was an understatement. All of her things were neatly placed as ordered by her father. Lucy ran up to her room, her graceful steps taken easily due to habit. She could not wait until tomorrow's school day, she would spend the day touring the school and meeting her teachers on their free time.
-Time Skip (Next Day ~Morning)
The chirping of the birds woke Lucy of her slumber. The blonde awoke with a giddiness to get the day started. She lept to her feet and dashed to the restroom to begin her morning routine, she began to giggle at the thought of being scolded for her running in the house and how she has escaped such thing. Lucy stripped herself free of clothes and climbed into the shower, letting the water spray her body clean. She felt anxious once again for this day to truly begin. Lucy was both excited to experience the trust of friends and was nervous because she had no idea as to how she would behave. She told her father that she would be on her best behavior and thats all she could go by, so she shall. Wrapping herself in a towel and crawling out of the tub, she made way to her room once again. Lucy skipped to her walk-in closet and searched through her mass aray of ballgown, cocktail dresses, formal dresses, and sundresses to find the most suitable for the her new life. She picked out a baby blue formfitting dress that flared at the waist and ended mid-thigh with a darker blue silk ribbon tied into a bow around the hips. She paired it with white flats and a white elastic that held her naturally straight hair in a high ponytail with her bangs framing her pretty face. Lucy applied a glossy pink lipstick to her lips then black mascara on her eyelashes and viewed herself in the nearby mirror. She smiled at her reflection and headed downstairs to eat breakfast.
Lucy sat at her dining table expecting food to soon come out of the kitchen, then it donned on her. She does not have chefs anymore, nor does she have any knowledge on how to cook. Lucy groaned in frustration, it was her first obsticle to overcome, hunger.
Lucy stood, the chair screeched out in surprise, she walked to her front door grabbing her white purse along the way. Lucy opened her door then locked it behind herself. She would have to ask a neighbor or go hungry for the next day or two. Lucy climbed down the steps of her porch in an elegant manner and stepped with grace along the sidewalk to the nearest house which was to the left. It seemed smaller compared to hers but held a charm that couldn't be mimicked. Lucy closed in on the house and knocked gently on the door. It was only now turning 7:00 AM so school started in another hour, meaning that the town has or will soon awake. Lucy waited patiently as the door creaked open revealing a woman in her late 30's with jet black hair that was cut a little after her earlobes. "Yes? May I help you?" The woman spoke sweetly. The blonde bowed, "I am very sorry for the trouble as the sun just merely rose moments ago, but I am your new neighbor," Lucy lifted her head, to see the lady gawking at her, "Excuse me miss. Did I say something of your offense," Lucy tilted her head to the side in confusion. "No no," The woman waved her hands in front of her face, "Nothing like that. My name is Ur, may I ask you for your name?" Lucy brightened, "Hello, Ur-san. My name is Lucy," Lucy extended her hand to the woman, who gladly accepted. Lucy began to blush slightly, "I am sorry for the inconvenience, Ms. Ur, but my father is away at the moment and I do not have the knowledge of cooking. I am quite hungry and I just wanted to ask if you could spare me a snack of sorts," Lucy blushed more realizing how silly she sounded and looked standing in her expensive dress and shoes with a pathetic look on her face. Lucy looked up at the sound of the woman laughing. "Of course dear. You may join us for breakfast. You have acted so well, it would be rude of me to say no," She was smiling brightly at the girl, who returned the gesture.
Lucy followed the woman into her home, "Your home is quite lovely," Lucy complimented. "Hmmm? Oh, why thank you Lucy, that is sweet of you to say. Now that I think of it. You seem like you are my sons' age, why are not in uniform for school?" Ur questioned. "Oh, well I just recently enrolled to go to FTA. I am going today to meet the staff and collect my things. I am very excited for tomorrow, it will be my first time in a public school," Lucy's excitement was intoxicating and very genuine. "It is nice to see someone in this house that enjoys school," Ur laughed as she made way to the kitchen with Lucy in tow. "Would you like to help?" Ur asked, "I-I d-don't know how," Lucy blushed in embarrassment once again. "I'll teach you along the way, if you are willing to pay attention that is," Lucy beamed, "I would be delighted to!"
Ur slowly explained each step it took to make homemade pancakes and Lucy soaked it all in with a look of seriousness etched on her face, something Ur giggled at. "Lucy, why don't you give it a try," Ur handed the spatula to the blonde and gave her space. "Okay!" Lucy furrowed her brows in deep thought and concentration, as she slowly watched the pancake batter bubble. Lucy quickly flipped the pancake to see it was a perfect golden brown, she did the same to the other side and slipped the cooked food on a prepared plate. "You did very well, Lucy! How about you come over anytime you are in the mood to learn a new recipe," Ur smiled, amazed at how quickly the girl caught on. Lucy nodded vigorously but slowed it to a stop once she realised that that was not allowed in her good behavior promise. "Thank you Ur-san. That is very kind of you, and I will happily oblige to your offer." Ur grinned, "That's good to h-," She was interrupted by a male voice at the top of the stairs, "Mom! Lyon broke my alarm clock," The voice neared as it came further down the stairs with every sluggish step. "Now I need a new one-, who's this?" A raven haired boy clad in the FTA uniform stared at Lucy clearly confused. "Hello, my name is Lucy! I am your new neighbor, sorry for the intrusion," the teen raised a brow and looked quizzically at his mother as the blonde bowed. Ur smiled brightly and clasped her hands on Lucy's shoulders and lightly pushed her closer to the other teen. "This is my youngest son, Gray!" Lucy reached her hand out to Gray with a sweet smile on her face. Ur glared at her son behind Lucy for him to return the action. Gray shook her hand then smirked. "Lucy, huh? That's a prett-," Gray began, to be interrupted by his mother shoving Lucy past him. "Lyon!" Gray pouted at his mother's shout. "Yeah, yeah, I'm coming! Woah!" Lyon made his presense known as he looked at Lucy at the bottom of the steps with his mother.
"This is Lucy! She is our neighbor! She is going to be going to your school, so you better show her you best behavior," Ur threatened her sons. Lyon climbed down the steps and initiated the handshake politely. "Hello, I'm Lyon! I am the eldest son," He smiled to Lucy who smiled back gently. "Hello, Lyon-kun," Lucy bowed politely, "I hope we can be great friends in the future!" She beamed, just the thought of friendship made her heart swell.
Ur beckoned the children to the dining room where they ate with small talk. They quickly finished the meal and cleaned up after themselves, ignoring the small 'clinks' of the dishes as they were set in the sink.
"You are going to be late. Get out!" Ur squealed, checking the time. Lucy quickly stood then bowed and scurried to the door, following her command as she was taught to do at the mansion. "It was nice to meet you, Lucy dear! My offer stands!" Ur shouted gleefully as she pushed her sons out of the door and waved Lucy off. "Oh! And boys! Treat her well!" They left the house at that, the warm air of the outside world enclosing them almost instantly. Lucy skipped ahead, the flats making it easier to move in the flowing skirt. The boys chuckled to themselves and caught up to her, either standing at her sides, mesmerized by her kind and proper attitude and not to mention beautiful face. They walked to the school building in suffocating silence, although Lucy was much too happy to realize. She gasped and began to spin in excitement like a child, at the sight of the school in all of it's glory along with students who wandered around before school started and talked in their groups. Gray and Lyon raised their eyebrows at her excitement. Lyon stepped forward, "I can take you to the principal's office, if you'd like. You know, to get you set for the school year." "Would you?" Lucy smiled widely and stepped closer, her elegance showing in the way she stood, walked, and spoke. Lyon laughed, "Yeah, I would!" He chuckled at his own exaggerated voice. Lucy giggled and tugged him foward.
Lyon lead Lucy to the office and for the rest of the day Lucy learned every room in the junior hall, found her locker and decorated it, and she talked to each teacher and formed a decent bond with each. The one thing that she enjoyed the most though was getting her very own uniform, so now she was officially a student at Fairy Tail Academy.
