Chapter One: Destiny's Meeting
You know how they say fate's a fickle lady? Well I think Destiny's a bigger one. It's quite strange how the world works, with it's people, mysteries, and ways. But I guess that's just it's way to show it's self. People are also funny things. I'm not offending people, not a chance; I'm human myself. It's just the way we over react to almost everything, the way we act, talk, express ourselves... We're all unique. We all have our own quirks and problems, and we all have our own ways to get over it. But you know, we don't always see eye to eye. We also don't have to go through things alone... we have friends... family... nakama. And for that I am thankful. For I don't think I could ever go through life alone. But I guess that's just me... and my own quirky ways. For you know, Fate's a fickle lady... but Destiny's a bigger one.
Tuesday. Lucy shook her head at the date and chuckled. 'So I guess today's finally here. Back to school... Ughhh, just kill me now!' She thought to herself. Rolling herself out of bed after looking at her clock, Lucy tumbled to the floor with a groan. Across the room, Levy McGarden wasn't fairing any better.
"Luuuuu-chaaaaannnn! I don't wanna go to school! I wanna stay inside and enjoy the rest of winter break my way!" Levy whined as she herself tumbled out of the thick, orange sheets that covered her bed.
A grunt of approval was all she got as an answer from her best friend and house mate. Quickly shaking off her sleepiness, Levy ran to the bathroom adjacent to their shared bedroom and laughed victoriously.
"Ha! I got bathroom first, bitch!" She called from the closed door. Lucy looked up with distaste and looked at her Little White Dog plushie, Plue.
"What'd you looking at Plue? I know I look disgusting, so don't look!" Lucy glared at the white dog. "Don't look at me like that! You're the one with the big cone for a nose!" Th blonde's glare softened as she continued to speak to the plushie as if it was the completely normal thing to do. "Waaa! I'm sorry Plue! I didn't mean it! Do you forgive me? Please! You know I get grouchy in the mornings! I didn't mean it! Honest!"
From the bathroom, Levy listened as she washed her shoulder length blue hair. She smiled to herself. It was Lucy's way of coping with extreme loneliness. Ever since she ran away from the mansion called hell she talked to that plushie like it was her life line. Of course she had other friends she talked to, including Levy herself, but that Little White Dog was the closest thing she had to family right now. And Levy totally respected her ways. She was her best friend after all!
Levy's musings were interrupted by a loud knock on the door. "Levy-chan! Get out already, lazy ass! I need to shower! I smell like shit from our last performance!" Lucy's voice echoed off the shower walls, followed by Levy's laughter.
"We'll it's your fault that you didn't take a shower after our encore!"
"But i was tired!" Lucy whined while still pounding on the door.
"Geez, you like a three year old who never grows up!"
Levy could basically feel Lucy's smirk from outside the door. "I'll take that as a complement, Levy-chan," Lucy chuckled. Wrapping a towel around her petite frame, Levy quickly exited the bathroom not wanting to face the wrath of an angry, pissed off Lucy in the morning. The blue haired bookworm shuddered at the thought.
Entering the bathroom, Lucy proceeded to strip and turn on the water to scalding hot. Jumping in, she hissed as the water burned her porcelain skin. "Lu-chan, you ok? I heard you whimper a little," Levy's sweet voice was filled with worry as she voiced her concern for her friend.
"Hai, hai! I'm fine, Levy-chan. The waters just hot." Pondering on that thought, Lucy smiled as she remembered a comment from one of her all time favorite joke books, How to insult life and most of it's inhabitants. Being as the joke book was very expensive and for seventeen and older, Lucy actually took pride in being one of the few people in Japan to have it. Sometimes, being rich could have it's benefits.
"Hey, Levy-chan," Lucy called as she poured her cherry blossom scented body wash in her hand and proceeded to scrub. "What'd ya need?" Was Levy's short reply. She was probably reading a book to pass the time as Lucy was in the shower.
"You know... sometimes I feel like the shower only has two settings,"Lucy continued.
"Hm," Levy replied.
"You know, it's like a choice between skinny dipping in Antarctica, or bathing Devils hot piss."
A few snickers were heard before Levy's full out laughter. "Nice one, Lu-chan, but we really need to hurry. We're going to be late if we dily-dally any longer," Levy said as she slowly put her book down in order to cook breakfast and lunch for the two of them. Getting out of the shower after scrubbing her hair with her vanilla scented shampoo and conditioner, Lucy wrapped a short white towel around her curvy figure and went to their shared bedroom.
Grabbing the school uniform, Lucy quickly pulled on. The uniform was simple enough, with a white collared shirt, a red tie, a beige vest, and a blue plaid skirt. Deciding against the vest today, Lucy quickly buttoned up the skirt while leaving a few buttons undone to show off enough cleavage that she wouldn't get dress coded. Pulling up the skirt over her curvy waist and thighs, she then grabbed her black, thigh-high stockings. Strapping on her shoes, Lucy then tied the red tie around her neck, leaving it somewhat loose as it felt itchy on her skin.
Deeming herself worthy enough for school, Lucy then grabbed her brush and combed her hair into a small side pony tail, and threw the brush over her shoulder.
"I do hope you plan on picking that up," Levy warned as she set a plate of eggs and bacon in front of the busty blonde. "Yes mom," Was Lucy's reply before she started wolfing down her food.
After five minutes of comfortable silence, and the sounds of Lucy eating at break neck speed, the two were finished and went to the sink to wash.
"Levy-chan, we have practice after school, right?" Asked Lucy as she took up the job of drying.
"Hai. Oh, and don't forget to take your guitar to school, we won't have time to come back to the house, and then right back to the auditorium. Ezra's calling for a dorm check, and we'll need the extra time to clean this pigsty, though why she insists in checking how clean other people's house escapes my mind," Levy replied as she handed the last plate to Lucy to dry. Lucy nodded. "Well, that's Erza for you. We'll have to cut practice short then if we want to clean."
The two girls then turned around and took a glance at the living room. They sweat dropped.
"We'll never get this done," Lucy said stiffly.
"And to make it worse, Gildarts-sensei is giving us extra homework for being too lazy in his class," Levy continued.
"Levy-chan."
"Hm."
"When's the dorm check?"
"Tonight at nine since we are one of the lasts on her checking list."
Looking once more at the living room, the two bookworms knew they were doomed. On the couch lay heaps of clothes from laundry day never finished-cause-some-blonde-started-a-water-gun-fig ht. Leading away from the couch on the floor lay a makeshift pathway threw plies of old takeout boxes, clothes, squirt guns, and books. Leading away from the pathway was a mountain of books from a nearby bookstore at which they were regulars. The bathroom was a mess combination of makeup, books, and hair supplies, while the bedroom had books plied everywhere so high that the two girls needs a ladder to get the top. Not to mention all the books, clothes, giant pillow/cushion fort, and play toys in the hallways from their annual-Friday to Sunday all night hallway sleepover. And let's not forget the practice room.
Music instruments of all kinds were everywhere, while lyric sheet upon lyric sheet littered the floor. A single, not-so high tech camera faced the only blank wall in the house.
"Levy-chan."
"Yes, Lu-chan?"
"We're doomed."
"Yes, yes we are."
"It was nice knowing you, Levy-chan. I have a few last words to say; One, if I die, tell Natsu and his damned neko to stay away from my grave. Two, don't destroy the pillow fort, it's one of the last, awsome things I have. Last, I only have three more chapters to go in my story, so could you finish it for me?"
"NANI!?YOU ONLY HAVE THREE CHAPTERS LEFT! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME!?," Levy grabbed Lucy's collar and started shaking the poor busty blonde around.
"I. Wanted. It. To. Be. A. Surprise. For. Yo-"
The girls were snapped out of their little daze as a small clock with an anime girl on it struck an hour, and a dinging noise sounded throughout the house.
"SHIT! WE'RE LATE!" They yelled simultaneously.
Grabbing their bags and shoving anything school related inside, the girls rushed out of the apartment, slamming the door in their wake. The apartment then was silent, save for the ticking of the anime girl clock. It stayed this way for a few moments before the sounds of- "LU-CHAN, YOU BAKA, DO YOU WANT TO GET US KILLED?! HURRY YOUR ASS UP!"- And hurried footsteps sounded in the hall.
The poor, flimsy door was soon slammed open as Lucy ran into the practice room, grabbed a guitar shaped case, and then slammed shut once more. The clicking of a lock was heard as the footsteps sounded once more, followed by the faded sound of "Lu-chan, you baka! We're dead, dead, DEAD!"
Entering the school of Fiore Academy, the two girls stopped at an intersecting hallway that led off to seven doors. Above each one was a sign telling the students which tower belonged to which house. ( Kind've like the houses in Harry Potter, think along those lines to help ;p) Each guild had a different name, sorting the students into their classes. There was the all-girl guild, Mermaid Heel. The all-boy guild, Quatro Cerberus. These were then followed by the intermingling guilds, Raven Tail, Blue Pegasus, Lamia Scale, Sabertooth, and Fairy Tail.
Taking the door labeled Fairy Tail, the two rushed up the spiraling staircases to the main hallway for academic classes. Their feet pounding on the tiled floor, the two were unlucky enough to have Gildarts-sensei... All the way at the end of the hall.
"Levy-chan-huff- what makes this worse-huff- is I think we have shared classes with Sabertooth and Lamia Scale today," Lucy huffed as she saw the sign for the Math's classroom.
"Oh great. Oh, just fucking great," Levy cursed. They both knew it: they were doomed.
Inside the Math's classroom wasn't any better as students from Fairy Tail shared their classroom with Lamia Scale and Sabertooth students. Lamia Scale they could handle, seeing as both guilds were on good terms. It was Sabertooth they couldn't stand. And right now, it seemed as if one fairy couldn't get pissed enough. Erza Scarlet was known throughout the school as Titania, Queen of Fairies. Praised for her skills in fencing, swordsmanship, and her work as the student council president, she liked simple things, and liked to have all things kept 100 percent in order. So as she watched resident soccer player Salamander Natsu Dragoneel, football player Black Steel Gajeel, basketball player Ice Make Mage Grey Fullbuster, and Sabertooth's Twin Dragon Slayers, Sting Eucliffe and Rogue Cheney paper fight, she knew things were not in order.
"And to make things worse, Lucy and Levy haven't arrived yet. God, do they always have to be late as soon as break is done?" Erza questioned herself.
"Ara, ara, are the two partners in crime not here yet? I thought they were done with the spray paint prank already," Mirajane, or more commonly known as the She Demon, whispered to Erza across the row.
"Nani?! Spray paint prank? That's why their late? I thought they gave up troublemaking after I gave them a beat down over Christmas break!" Erza cleaned her glasses out of habit. Mira shrugged.
"That, or they could just be late. I heard you're giving a dorm check this evening, am I right? They could just be cleaning and lost track of time. Their house really is a mess," the white haired woman sighed.
"Really? How messy is it? It can't be worse then Natsu and Gajeel's house," Erza said slightly astonished at the fact that the two tiny girls who every suspected had OCC had a messy house.
Mirajane shrugged again. "I've only been to their house once when I was returning a book to Levy. It was so messy... In fact, I think it could be worse than Natsu and Gajeel's houses combined. They've really changed ever since Levy's breakup with Gajeel, and Lucy's distance with Natsu. I even heard they took up the means of cursing now and then."
Erza looked up in shock. "Nani!? The effect is that bad! I'll have to punish those boys for changing the ways of our loved ones, and causing such a rift in our family!" At the word 'punish' the paper fighting boys immediately stopped their war which turned into a one sides battle against Sting and Rogue. Taking interest in the two girls conversation of the best friends of Fairy Tail, Sting leaned closer as to catch a few words. And he did.
Picking up the words 'cursing', 'mess', 'spray paint prank', and 'late', he couldn't help but wonder if the Salamander knew his best friend was getting into things like this. Same with Gajeel and his little blue haired girlfriend. But to be honest, Sting couldn't help but admit that the two girls had peaked his interest. Maybe he could use this to his advantage against the Salamander, he thought to himself. Maybe indeed.
Turning back to the board on which the drunk Math's teacher was writing problems, soft footsteps on tile stone and muffled voices could be heard outside the doors. Looking around. He noticed he wasn't the only one who heard the disturbances outside their classroom.
"Oi, Rogue, who do you think is late this time?" Sting turned to his best friend who looked keenly disinterested in everything but Gajeel.
"I really don't know, and I really don't care," was his short reply before he turned back to staring at his rival/mentor.
"Lu-chan! This is all your damned fault! If you hadn't left your guitar in the practice room we wouldn't be so damn late!" Came the shout of a certain bookworm. Everyone, including Gildarts-sensei stopped what they were doing and looked at the door to welcome the late arrivals. Sting noted how concern and surprise flashed across Slamander and Gajeel's faces as they looked at the door.
"Well it's not my fault Erza scheduled a damn dorm check with such short notice! And the fact that we finished the spray paint prank on your neighbor's car late! I hope she doesn't make us destroy the fort. I really like the fort, and it took forever to build!" Came the sweet, yet whiny voice of Lucy.
"I like the fort too, Lu-chan, but that's not the fucking problem right now! We're late, and we're gonna be dead, then Erza's gonna bring us back to clean up the mess!"
People gasped as they heard Levy curse. "Well fuck, we're screwed, they can probably hear us, and once more, if I die: Defend the fort, finish my novel, and tell Natsu fucking Dragoneel to STAY AWAY FROM MU GRAVE!" Came Lucy's shout as the two burst into the classroom in a heap.
Catching their breath and noting how all eyes were in them, the two girls looked at each other and laughed. High-fiving then sharing a look, Lucy walked up to the drunk and muttered something in his ear. Seeing the teacher who normally didn't give a damn turn bright red and wide-eyed, made everyone wonder what the busty blonde said.
"Hai, I understand why you're late, just don't do it again, and never speak of it again," Gildarts-sensei was still bright red ad the two grinned and high-fived once more while taking seats by a window. The two then grabbed out their supplies and turned to the borard. Tearing out a piece of paper and writing something on it in a slanted, perfect cursive, Lucy folded it into a simple rose and stuck it into Levy's hair.
Taking out of her soft- looking hair and reading it, Levy stifled a giggle before writing something back and turning the note into a sunflower. How they did this was beyond Sting's imagination and he really wanted to know what made the sensei stutter. Turning to his best friend beside him, Sting chuckled in amusement as he noticed that he wasn't the only one peaked in curiosity.
"Not interested huh? What happened to the 'I usually don't give a shit' Rogue, hmm?" Sting questioned his best friend and partner.
"I have no idea what the hell you're talking about," Rogue said monotonously, while still eyeing a certain blue haired bookworm.
"Rogue, if you're going to go and crush on someone, make sure you don't stalk her, m'kay? You have a tendency to do that." Said person turned bright red in embarrassment before stuffing his face in his Math's notebook and muttering things along the lines of 'stupid Sting making up nonsense, me crushing in someone, ha!'
Sting chuckled the glanced back to the flower passing girls. It was true, he and Rogue were somewhat interested in the two fairies. And everyone knew the blonde caused more than enough nosebleeds with a body any girl would die for, but is wasn't enough to say he or his best friend liked either one of them in that way. No sir. But there is one thing Sting would admit to anyone; even himself. This was a fated meeting. One he knew he would enjoy with much amusement. So for most of the period he stared at the blonde. He was curious, that's all. Nothing more, nothing less. But little did he know, it was Destiny instead. And everyone knows that Destiny plays by completely different rules. I guess that's why he also didn't notice a carts in pair of eyes watching him while he watched her.
