-Light and Shadow-
Chapter 1: The Couple
Hi, guys! I'm making a new fanfic :D This is about a love triangle, StiLuRo. English is my second language so please forgive me for the mistakes I make.
I do not own Fairy Tail.
Lucy entered her guild which was more merrier than usual. It didn't bug Lucy. She already knew the reason why.
There, in the center of the guild stood her pink haired friend with a certain Take Over girl. Lucy walked past them and her eyes met the pinky's. Her lips twitched upwards and gave him a wink. She pressed her index fingers against each other as if she was trying to say, kiss. He blushed. The Take Over girl, Lisanna, also blushed. The two make a cute couple. And they are.
Contrary to popular beliefs, Lucy does NOT have feelings for Natsu. In fact, Lucy was the one who pushed Natsu to confess his feelings for Lisanna. They may be teammates and he may break into her home all the time but there were not chemistry. Natsu isn't her type. She prefers someone more… assertive. And she doesn't mean Loke. That guy is a forever young, thousands of years old playboy. No one know how long he lived.
"Good morning, Mira." She greeted the barmaid as she took a seat. Mira lifted her head from the counter and smiled. "The usual please." Lucy ordered. Mira nodded and disappeared into the kitchen.
Lucy stared at the pink and white couple. A pang of jealousy stabbed her in the chest. No, she was not jealous of Natsu and Lisanna. She was jealous because they have each other. She wondered how it felt like to have someone to love and love you back. Lucy had never been in love before.
"Here you go, Lucy." Mira's voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Huh? Oh, thanks." She said. Mira handed her a strawberry milkshake, Lucy's favorite, and gave her a sad smile. "Are you okay with them dating?" She asked. Lucy nodded. "I am. Gosh, why does everyone think I like him?" She groaned.
"Maybe it's because you spend a lot of time with him." Mira guessed.
"We're just friends." Lucy stressed the word just. If people didn't think Lucy liked Natsu, they'd probably think that she was his mother. Before Natsu got together with Lisanna, he practically wait outside her apartment and did everything she asked him to, much to Lucy's confusion. During dinner, seeing that she was in a good mood, Natsu asked her if she could date Lisanna. That made Lucy wonder, Does he sees me as a friend or a mother?
Lucy sipped her drink when she heard people cheering. She turned her head to see the couple kissing. Lucy smiled at the sight. How knew dense Natsu was the first one of the team, besides Erza(A certain blue cat told them about Erza kissing with a certain blue head guy), to have his first kiss. Lucy but her lip. I wonder how a first kiss feels like, she thought.
Mira noticed Lucy's nervous lip biting. "Lucy, are you sure you're okay with this?" She asked again. Lucy rolled her eyes. Again, with the Natsu-Lisanna thing. Mira, oblivious to her reaction, continued speaking. "If you want, I could-"
"Mira! No! No more of the matchmaking, please!" Lucy pleaded. Mira was known for many things. As a wizard, she's known as Mirajane the Demon aka she-demon. In the Weekly Sorcerer, she's the top ranking model. But among the female Fairy Tail mages, she's the matchmaker. One time, she told Lucy that Natsu liked her causing her to become paranoid. After realising that Natsu only wanted her help with a socalled treasure, she said that she and Gray makes a lovely couple.
Mira pouted. "Aw, you never let me do anything fun." She whined. Lucy sighed in relief. Mira had always tried to set her up with someone. During the Grand Magic Games, she walked around, rounding up all the available guys for Lucy to choose from. Yep, she take things to the extreme. Mira smiled mockingly. "Someday, I'm gonna find you a guy you can't refuse."
Before Lucy can answer, the door swung open with an incredibly large amount of force, making a cloud of dust. Silence fell. The dust cleared up, revealing two figures. One standing in a challenging way and the other stood in a bored way.
Lucy rolled her eyes. "They're here." She mumbled, "Like always." Every week, it's the same ever since Fairy Tail won the GMG. He would come, dragging his partners. He would challenged Natsu. It's always the same.
The one who looked bore out of his mind, folded his arms across his chest. He was frowning, obviously, not happy being here. He scanned the room with his crimson red eyes. Well, technically, eye. His left eye is covered with his midnight black hair. It was messy and unkept but he still look good. He wore a black cape tied with a white cloth around his neck. Underneath his cape, he wore a knight-like outfit. A long sleeved grey shirt and black pants. He wore shin gaurds over his brown boots.
Rogue Cheney.
The Shadow Dragon Slayer. Much like his partner, he has a sort of rivalry with Gajeel. His name suit him well. Not that he is dishonest but he's, nonetheless, attractive. However, unlike his attention craving partner, he hated the fangirls and hates their stares. He prefers quiet places which is ironic since his partner, never shuts up.
The one who stood in a challenging way, smirked. His spiky, blonde hair jutting out in every direction with a teasing look in his light blue eyes. A blade-like earring was clearly visible on his left ear lobe. He wore a grey top revealing his abs underneath his fur trimmed, blue vest. For the legs, a black and white pants, tucked in his distinguish boots. Yup, this was the idiot who always crashes the party, breaking the doors and wrecking havoc. An idiotic way to get revenge for beating him in the GMG. This so-called Third Generation Dragon Slayer.

Yay! A new story XD As much as I love the très hot Rogue, I wanted to do a StiCy this time. Yeah… but I couldn't part with RoLu so some of the plot may have RoLu in 'em. As you can see, I'm trying to write in a third person cuz its hard changing one's POV to another.
I got a PM earlier from OoComputerFreakoO saying that 'Something Better' has been nominated for the Best FT of 2012. I'm in shock. I can't believe I got nominated! Thank you guys soooo much :D You guys can view it on her(ComputerFreak's) profile.
BTW, is there anyone with DeviantArt or whatever that is willing to make a cover image for this story? (Yeah, I shouldn't push my luck…)
Review!
