A little background before the story...
Hello! My name is Lucy Heartfilla, I live in the mildly small town of Magnolia. I switch between staying with my parents, since my mother and father divorced ten years ago. I wouldn't think of it as a bad thing, since it sucks my family isn't the happiest one together. They just seem happier this way, and their happiness is important too right?
My mother and father use to fight a lot when I was younger, it caused a lot of home problems. So I wasn't always the happiest child, thankfully things changed. When I was seven they split up, and my mother moved across town where her childhood best friend lives. Her childhood best friend who I think she totally has a thing for, Mr. Igneel Dragneel.
My father stayed in our original house, and for a while I had to leave to stay with my mother full time. My father wasn't home most of the time, he still isn't most times. He has the Heartfilla business to take care of, which means quite a bit of traveling. When I was about fourteen I partly moved back to my Dad's every other weekend, then every other week. His girlfriend use to come stay with us from time to time, bringing along her son who was years only three years older then me. Her name is Miranda Dreyar, and her son is Laxus Dreyar. They're both pretty cool, after a while she started leaving Laxus at my Dad's and soon he pretty much just moved in. He's now like the big brother I never got, and he's my step brother almost.
I go to Fairy Tail High, where I'm co-captain on the varsity cheer team. I know cheer season is over, but at FTH we have practice all year round. Which I don't mind, it keeps my mind off things. It also keeps me in shape. My best girl friend is Cana Alberona, who also happens to be cheer captain and the most popular girl in the whole school. In my opinion, she disagrees though.
My guy best friend would be Natsu Dragneel, son of Igneel Dragneel obviously. As in my mother's childhood best friend, yeah that one. So I pretty much grew up knowing Natsu, the idiot was such a twerp when we were younger. I guess not much as really changed, other then he has matured up a little since he started dating Lisanna Strauss. She's he younger sister of Mirajane Strauss, as in like THE Mirajane Strauss. Mirajane was a senior when I was a freshman, she was and still is like a role model for me. She also happens to be dating my brother, Laxus.
Like I said, semi small town. Everyone knows everyone, and sometimes that's kind of stressful. Everyone knows your drama and business, and everything else. Once I got in trouble for skipping class with some boy I once liked, I figured my mother would never know. I was so wrong, when I got home she told me Mrs. Farridal had told her and I got grounded for a whole week. Back then that seemed like the worst thing ever.
After I got into high school, I got away from the crowd I was with before. Probably the best thing that's ever happened to me. Natsu introduced me to his friends, since I went to a different middle school than him. (For a small town, it had one high school, three middle schools, and three elementary schools). Now I mostly hang out with my normal group, being: Natsu, Gray, Jellal, Gajeel, Lisanna, Cana, Erza, Levy, Juvia, and Loki.
Loki Leon is my long term boyfriend, going on two years already. He's so sweet, and his parents are great. His family, or father really, is the owner of Leon Productions. Which is why it was so important to Loki that I meet his family, and soon I was being drug along to all his fancy dinners to clients. Which was nice, I got to make sure no rich snobs got to hit on him. He said it looks good to have his amazing girlfriend along side him, it made me feel bubbly inside.

Hi I guess, my name is Sting Eucliffe. I use to live in Sky Peak, a town up in the mountain range a few miles from here. Key words, use to. My mom found work here, in the town Magnolia. It was a smaller town, there doesn't seem to be as much to do. I've already started to hate this town, and I've only been in it for like five minutes. I didn't want to move, it meant leaving all my friends. Leaving everything. My mom knew this, but I was trying to be positive for her. She was the only reason I was sucking it up and just dealing with the whole moving thing, not my ideal situation.
Before we moved I went to Saber High, a pretty cool school. They took sports and succeeding a little to serious though, in my opinion. Their school spirit kind of sucked too, to focused on winning to actually have fun with anything. Hardly anyone smiled while walking the halls, part of that was my doing. Its safe to say, I didn't hang out with the best of crowds.
My best friend Rogue Cheney, he wasn't to bad. Although he didn't make an effort to stop anything that went down, just kinda stood back and looked another way. I on the other hand, wouldn't be proud to clam part responsibility in the happenings. My girlfriend, Minerva Orland, acted like she ran the school. Which in a way, she kind of did. Her father was the principal of the school, so she and her friends got away with a lot of crap. I'm not really sure how, or why, I ended up getting mixed up with her. I guess I have a thing for power, she just seemed like the person I wanted to run with. That was the thing about Sabertooh High School, you either run or get run over. There's gray somewhere between, but not many find it. And I'm the kind of person who stands out, unlike Rogue who could probably just vanish into the shadows if he tried hard enough.
I had expected more of an impact when I announced to my group about me moving, but the only one who seemed to give a rat's was Yukino Aguria. A sweet girl, I totally would've dated her if Minerva hadn't pretty much set claim to me. Making it nearly impossible to even talk to other girls. And yet when I announced I would be moving, what happened? Minerva broke up with me, right there in the middle of the school. Publicly embarrassing me, like I was trash underneath her feet. The rest of the my last week was filled with whispers, and a few girls trying to talk to me in hopes of a one night deal. I made out with a couple chicks, just to get back at Minerva. Which I managed, because the second day of that she met me at my locker and tried to get in my face over it. I slammed the locker in her face and laughed, catching the attention of nearly the whole school before telling her (very loudly) it was her lose then walked away like nothing. Like she was trash underneath my feet, which she pretty much is. She wants back together, even though I've already moved. That'll never happen again, I'm done with her and that lame school. The only one who matters is Rogue, and Yukino since she never did anything against me.
I didn't want to change school, or towns, or anything. But Mom's had a hard time finding work for a while now, I often wonder how much better off would she be without me. It was me that got her into this mess after all. She's never said it, but I've heard her talking to her best friend over the phone. Late at night, when she thinks I'm asleep.
My father left my mother when he found out she was pregnant with me, but that didn't stop her from loving and caring for me. I loved my mom, she's the only reason I'm sucking it up and dealing with this crappy move. So I find myself putting up a fake smile as we drive through the lovely (sarcastic) town of Magnolia, but I guess in a way I am happy.
I'm glad she found work, and she said her best friend stayed close by with her boyfriend or something. She's always loved coming to visit the town, she likes the village feel it holds. I often wonder if she has some childhood memories here, but she keeps her past pretty tight lipped. Including anything about my father when I ask, which bugs me to no end. I'm sure she has her reasons, its just I wish I could know more about my crappy father. Who walks out of their pregnant wife? Some role figure he turned out to be.
I guess life in Magnolia starts now...
