Chapter 1: The Beginning
A couple weeks before...
Lucy had been drooling over the brochures for a month now and her roommate Lisanna had just about enough of her gushing over London and her internship.
LUCY! If I hear one more word about how amazing its going to be and about European boys I think I'm going to scream!
Lucy startled and looked up at her best friend from over the top of her mac laptop. She hadn't realized how much she had been talking about it and apologized. She giggled as Lisanna fumed over how she couldn't come along.
But you used to live there! It's my turn to see how amazing your hometown is!
Lisanna sighed, yes she had grown up there and even had fallen in love but now she lived in Texas. She remembered the day she got on the plane two years ago and she smiled sadly. No one had wanted her to leave, and he hadn't come to see her off. She understood why and didn't hold it against him but that didn't change the fact that it hurt.
Suddenly Lucy was in her face peering at her and pinching her cheek.
Thash Hursh! Lesh GO!
Lucy screeched as Lisanna suddenly attacked her tickling her sides. They fell into a pile on their giant fuzzy pink rug. They had been living together for the past two years in a dorm on the college campus. Lucy couldn't believe that they wouldn't be together for the next year and a half. She had received a scholarship to study in London and work as an intern for one of the professors. It was a dream come true and she could hardly wait but that also meant leaving her best friend behind. However Lisanna had urged her to go agreeing that this was a once in a life time opportunity. Lisanna had even given her the number of a guide who could take her on a tour through London and make sure she got to her hotel safely. Now it was coming up to the departure day and Lucy was becoming more busy getting all of her final exams completed and packing. Two years was a long time and they were best friends.
It will be okay, Lucy promised.
Lisanna nodding with determination wiped her tears and grabbed Lucy's hand pulling her over to the laptop.
Let's get you ready to go!
The day of arrival...
Lucy tapped her booted feet as she sat on a bench outside the airport terminal. She checked her cell phone for any missed calls or texts from her alleged "Guide". She was going to kill Lisanna for recommending this guy. She had verified with his boss before she got on the plane that he would be there waiting for her. Now she was waiting on him and she was pissed. A sketchy guy who called himself Loki had already tried to pick her up. She shuddered at how she could practically see the hearts floating above his head as he stared down her shirt. Finally she had lost him saying she was thirsty and and when he left so did she. Now it had been at least an hour since she got off the plane and this guy hadn't shown.
Luuuccccyyyy-chhannn!
A chill ran down her spine. He's back! She screamed internally. Grabbing her rolling suitcase she took off towards a taxi. Naming off a street that Lisanna had shown her to the driver they peeled out just as Loki approached a now empty bench with two Starbucks in hand.
Getting out of the taxi Lucy sighed, completely dejected this was not turning out to be the awesome fairy tale trip she had imagined. She grabbed her bag and began walking down the street passing by shops and pubs that looked right out of a magazine. Starting to regain her optimism she started to hum looking for a quiet place to stop and get a quick bite to eat. WOOSH.
You have got to be KIDDING ME!, she screeched.
It was raining and raining hard. She started to walk quicker down the sidewalk trying to find her location faster.
Atleast there's no,
KABOOM!
Ahhhhhh!, she screamed.
Lightning flashed across the sky quickly followed by ear shattering thunder. Now completely spent she ducked under the first overhang she saw; clumsily dragging her bag behind her. Bright dragon snipers and other foliage adorned the entrance to the bar that she now sat in front of. She knew people were inside but she didn't want to go in. no longer in the mood for a "quiet meal" she just wanted to get to her hotel, take a long hot bath and go to bed. Sinking down in front of the door she placed her forehead on her knees.
Cold, she whispered to herself.
Lucy began to slowly drift off to sleep with the sounds of rain and laughter lulling her away.
In her dream
Lucy was running. And she didnt know what from. It felt like her heart was breaking and tears were falling down from her swollen chocolate brown eyes. She ducked into a taxi and as it was speeding away she looked back to see a flash of pink.
Awake
Oyyyyyyyyyy! Sleeping weirdo!
Wha- weirdo?!, stammered Lucy
Rubbing her bleary eyes a confused Lucy looked into the eyes of the strangest boy she had ever seen. A boy in dark jeans, a red sweatshirt and pink hair stood above her giving her a look of sheer annoyance. Pink. She didn't know why that struck a bell but it did. Noticing the rain had stopped Lucy stiffly began to stand dusting mud off her skinny jeans. A chill ran through her as wind whipped through her sodden clothing. Suddenly a hand grabbed her arm and she gasped as the boy began to drag her through the now open door of the bar.
Mira!, he called out.
Mira...no way that could be? Lucy thought.
Lucy stumbled as the boy let go of her arm and looked back towards the bar. The entire room was filled with long wooden tables and matching benches. An elaborate bar sat at the back wall and then a small stage was set in the rooms right hand corner. Lucy guessed that they would have performances by local artists. She trailed her eyes over the room and began to notice a couple pairs of eyes looking back. A tiny woman in a frilly pink dress stepped out from behind the bar and began to approach them. She had long silver-white hair and big pretty eyes that looked exactly like...
Mira? Lucy asked tentatively Mira Strauss?!
The pretty woman now peered at her with curiosity as now did the entire room.
Yes?
Blushing slightly Lucy lifted her chin and looked the woman in the face.
Your Lisanna's sister right?
The room silenced as Mira gasped and rushed to her side. Lucy noticed the pink haired boy was now staring at her with a painful expression before he turned away. Interesting, she thought.
You know Lisanna?!, the pretty woman now asked in earnest.
Lucy nodded.
Yeah, we have lived together for the past two years we're best friends.
A cheer erupted around the room as suddenly she was swarmed with people and questions. A giant man with the same silver hair as Mira and Lisanna suddenly picked her up and squeezed her to his chest.
Ahhh! Cant Breathe!, Lucy huffed
The giant man set her down and the room began to settle. A small man now stood in front of her with a wide grin.
So tell us youngster how is our Lisanna?
The room seemed to lean closer as Lucy smiled at Mira's sister and brother who had introduced himself as Elfman.
She's wonderful and as lively as ever! She's been working really hard and we'll be graduating together when I return in a year and a half.
Mira had begun to tear up as Lucy talked and Elfman smiled proudly. Mira took her by the hand and led her up a set of stairs behind the bar. A floor of apartments sat above the bar and Mira instructed that she will be staying with them for as long as she needed to. Lucy tried to explain that she already had a hotel room reserved but Mira insisted. Giving up trying to convince her she thanked her instead. Nodding in satisfaction her best friends elder sister left her in an empty apartment and her suitcase.
Down stairs the bar was chatting cheerfully about hearing about their beloved Lisanna. The pink haired boy that sat alone at the bar suddenly slammed his beer down and stormed out.
Natsu, Mira called out.
But the old man stopped her. They all knew what he must be feeling. Natsu stood out in the street in a haze beneath the bars sign that read...
