Hello, my name is Lunetheart, and welcome to my fanfiction, The Police Gang.
This is a Fairy Tail AU where the characters live the densely populated city of Fiore, with so many people that it really should be its own country. There's a small section of Fiore that's called Magnolia, and in this section, there's a high school called Fairy Tail High-but this isn't your average Fairy Tail High School fanfiction. At least, I hope it's not. But anyway.
I don't own Fairy Tail-I'm not that awesome.
Enjoy!
Wendy Marvell was a hopeless case. Nobody wanted a girl like her.
At least, that's what she'd been told countless times over the years. Her parents had abused her until she was five-that's when she had been taken away from them. After that, she'd gone through the foster system until a family-the Dragneel family-had decided to adopt her-which wasn't any fun for Wendy for a few reasons.
So, now, Wendy had an older "brother" named Natsu, and older "sister" named Erza-who had also been adopted-a new "father" named Igneel, and a "mother" named Grandeeney. But Wendy knew that she didn't belong. None of them knew what it was like.
Now, Wendy had just turned fifteen years old, and Natsu and Erza were both seventeen. And since the Dragneels lived in the Magnolia section of Fiore, Wendy had to move there and leave behind Cail Shelter High, and all her friends, to join Fairy Tail High.
Wendy stood in front of her new house, all her possessions in her suitcase. The house was really big-it was kinda intimidating. Ok, it looked like a nice place, but Wendy didn't like the fact that it was a large house.
"Come on, Wendy," her social worker, Roubaul, said-he was a small man who also worked as the principal of Cait Shelter High.
"But-" Wendy started.
"Wendy," Roubaul said, looking at Wendy. "Trust me."
Wendy sighed. "Alright." The two of them walked up to the door, and Roubaul knocked. After a few seconds, a girl with scarlet hair opened the door.
"Hello?" the girl said.
"Can we talk to Igneel and Grandeeney Dragneel by any chance?" Roubaul asked.
"Why are you looking for mom and dad?" the girl asked.
"Coming!" a voice suddenly said, and a man with red hair poked his head through the door. "Ah, Roubaul! Welcome, welcome! Is that Wendy I see with you?"
Wendy waved shyly.
"Come in, come in," Igneel said, holding the door open more. Roubaul walked inside, but Wendy hesitated. Igneel noticed, then stopped and looked at her. "Wendy?"
Roubaul looked at Wendy, then sighed, walking back to her.
"Wendy, it's alright," Roubaul said quietly, as if hoping that Igneel and the girl wouldn't hear what he was saying. "I've talked to the Dragneels before-they're a nice family. You're going to love it here-please?"
Wendy looked at the ground, shifting on her feet, then she looked up at the house. Igneel and the girl looked at her-the girl was clearly confused, while Igneel sighed and walked over to Wendy, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Wendy, it's alright," Igneel said. "Grandeeney and I know about everything, and I promise that everything's going to be alright. Ok?"
Wendy just shuffled on her feet. Igneel sighed, then picked her up and spun her around, causing Wendy to let out a little scream as Igneel set her down, then grabbed her suitcase.
"Come on," Igneel said. "It's alright, ok?"
Wendy shuffled a little again, then, quietly, said, "I-I guess."
Roubaul grabbed Wendy's hand and brought her inside as Igneel walked next to her. The girl held the door open, giving Wendy a strange look.
A few minutes later…
Igneel and Grandeeney stood by Wendy in front of their two children, Natsu-who was actually their child-and Erza-the red haired girl who they had adopted.
"Natsu, Erza, this is Wendy Marvell," Igneel said. "She's your new little sister."
"Another sister?" Natsu asked. "But we already have this demon-"
"What did you just call me?" Erza asked, glaring at him.
"Nothing!" Natsu squeaked.
"Please, Natsu, Erza," Igneel sighed.
"Sorry, dad," Natsu and Erza said at the same time.
"Look, please just listen," Grandeeney said, then looked at Wendy. "Wendy, this is Natsu and Erza. Natsu's actually our son, but Erza's adopted, too-just like you."
She's nothing like me, Wendy thought, a little angrily. I doubt that she's gone through what I have. But she kept her thoughts to herself.
The five of them sat in complete silence for a few minutes. Finally, Igneel sighed. "Alright, so how about we all go get something to eat? It's been a long day for all of us, I'm sure, so you three decide together where you want to eat." He looked at Grandeeney. "I'll be back in a minute."
"I need to do something quick, too," Grandeeney said, then the two of them left, leaving the three in silence.
After about thirty seconds, Natsu said, "I say that we eat at Applebee's."
"Natsu, you always say that," Erza said. "I vote we eat at Red Lobster."
"Applebee's," Natsu said.
"Red Lobster," Erza said.
"Applebee's!" Natsu said.
"Red Lobster!" Erza said.
Wendy looked down, then muttered something under her breath.
Erza and Natsu snapped their heads at her.
"Which one do you think?" Erza snapped.
"Applebee's or Red Lobster?" Natsu added.
"Um…" Wendy said. I don't want to go to either...but they wouldn't agree to go there…
"Which one?!" Natsu and Erza exclaimed at the same time, then glared at each other.
Wendy bit her lip, then blurted out, "Why don't we just go to Old Country Buffet?" She slapped her hands over her mouth, her eyes wide, then she blurted, "S-Sorry!"
"Old Country Buffet?" Erza and Natsu asked, clearly confused.
"S-Sorry," Wendy said, hunching her shoulders, trying to make herself as small as possible. (A/N: She's like this a lot around these two in this fanfiction, more of an explanation for it later on)
"What are you saying sorry for?" Erza asked, raising an eyebrow.
"S-Sorry," Wendy muttered.
Natsu looked at Erza. "Seriously, what's wrong with her?"
"Natsu," Erza snarled, glaring at Natsu.
"Eek!" Natsu said.
Meanwhile, Wendy was curling into a ball, wishing that she'd just slept past her alarm that morning so she wouldn't have to deal with all this.
A few minutes later, Igneel and Grandeeney walked back into the room to find Erza and Natsu arguing and Wendy curled into a ball.
Igneel sighed, looking at Grandeeney. "This is going to be a very long day."
Meanwhile, in a different part of Magnolia…
"Guys, guys!" Lucy said, bursting through the door of the house she was staying in.
Gray, Juvia, and a young girl with blonde hair and blue hair, looked up at Lucy. Gray's shirt was missing, Juvia was standing at the stove with a large pot of boiling water full of spaghetti noodles on the stove, and the girl was reading a large book that was bigger than her lap.
"What's up, Lucy?" Juvia asked. "By the way, supper's almost done." She looked at the girl. "Your turn to cook tomorrow, Asteria!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," the girl said, waving a hand at Juvia. "I know."
"There's going to be a new student at school soon," Lucy said excitedly. "Her name's Wendy Marvell."
"So?" Gray asked.
"If she's mentioning it, then this girl's probably someone like us," Asteria said, turning a page in her book. All of them looked at her.
"Another kid like us?" Gray asked, rolling his eyes and leaning back. "Then what's up with her?"
"Speaking of, Gray, go find your shirt," Asteria said without looking up.
"Ah, what?!" Gray said, jumping up and running off.
Juvia sighed, picking up the pot. "Supper's ready!"
"I'll be back in a minute!" Gray yelled from another room.
The three girls laughed as Asteria put a bookmark in and set her book aside, then went to the stove and took the spaghetti sauce off the stove. The three girls set the table, then sat down. Thirty seconds later, Gray ran into the kitchen, wearing a shirt. He sat down, then the four began to eat.
"So, what's up with this girl?" Gray asked, taking a bite of spaghetti.
"I don't know quite yet, but apparently she's been through nearly as many foster families as Asteria," Lucy said.
"Wow, like that's possible," Asteria said.
"That's what I said," Lucy said. "But she's the same age as you, Asteria, and in the same grade, too."
"Grade ahead of everyone else our age?" Asteria asked. "Must be smart."
"She appears to be," Lucy said.
"Then I'll talk to her if I can," Asteria said. "For now, let's just eat."
Nodding, the four of them began to eat.
And that concludes the first chapter! What did you think?
I should be updating before too long, although I'm going to be getting so busy that I'll barely have time to sleep soon-only for a few days, then I'll be done with that activity until spring. Oh well.
Until next time!
Lunetheart out.
