chapter one: lucy

"Natsu Dragneel, don't you dare!"

.

.

In which everything goes to hell on a Monday morning. Lucy's teacher is so not paying attention.


Lucy Heartfilia is fond of most of her classes. Being a girl best suited for the books, she honestly doesn't mind school. In fact, she enjoys it. In her opinion, school is just another opportunity to read more, and her best friend Levy Mcgarden would definitely agree on the matter.

Save for chemistry.

Not that she had anything against the subject, or her teacher, for any matter.

No, what made that class absolutely horrendous for her was her other best friend, Natsu Dragneel.

And his tendency to set things on fire.

(Things = Gray Fullbuster, by the way.)

Lucy was absolutely done with his games one (not-so) fine Monday morning, so, as she walked into chemistry, she was going to set things straight.

She marched towards Natsu, who, of course, had a block of potassium in his hands and was ready to ever-so casually drop a piece into Gray's water bottle.

Oh no.

Lucy was not going to have him completely destroy the science wing.

"Natsu!"

"Oh, hey Lucy!" Natsu quietly slips the block into his pocket.

Lucy's eyes narrow.

"Natsu, it is 7 in the morning, I am not up for the school to explode at 7 in the morning, because I am still behind on The Flash, and no, I will not deal with this! So for god's sake, hand me that block!"

"Woah, Luce, are you okay? You must be imagining things,"

"No, Natsu, I am not- " Lucy's voice suddenly trails off as their chemistry teacher walks in. Doranbolt was usually a bright, lively man who started the day off with a story about someone stupid on the jury he served, and then continued with the lecture, along with the occasional 80's reference.

Today, however, was different.

As soon as Doranbolt walked in, albeit slower than before, there were at least 10 sluggish, humanoid figures trailing after him.

Lucy and Natsu were confused, to say the least.

"Um, Mr. Doranbolt…"

"Sir…"

Doranbolt turned to face them, but before he could speak, the humanoid figure behind him bit off his head.

His head.

Blinking in shock, Lucy and Natsu turned towards each other, blinked again and whispered, "Zombies."

Lucy frantically gestured at Natsu to dump the potassium in the water, and then they scrambled to get the hell out of the now smoking crater that used to be called the science wing.

"Wait, Luce, let's go back and get some more potassium, I need to prank Gray."

"Natsu Dragneel, don't you dare!"
