Lucy

To say that Lucy Heartfilia was nervous was a humongous understatement. Poor Lucy had never felt so overwhelmed in her lifetime. When she was younger, Lucy had ran away from her father to live a life where she was free to make her own decisions, without anyone doing anything for her unless she had asked for help. Lucy had ran away to a nearby town called Magnolia.

Lucy was proud to live in magnolia, and wanted nothing more than to enroll in Magnolia University. Lucy was a smart and capable woman, and was easily able to get that letter back in the mail signifying her acceptance to the college. Now that she was here, however, she wanted nothing more than to run away and hide. Freshman at MU have to live in the dorms, unless they're approved by the principal to stay at home. Unfortunately for Lucy, her home was too far away to even consider talking to the principal about approval.

Key in hand, Lucy nervously looked up at the door. There was a beautiful wooden plaque on it with golden cursive letters and numbers, 223-A. This was her room, no doubt, but getting the room right wasn't what scared her. What scared Lucy the most was finding out who her roommate would be.

Lucy had been alone for all of her life, practically. She had lived 12 years of her life in a giant mansion with her father, Jude, a rich widower who spent all of his time on his job, not even sparing Lucy a single glance, and her servants, who had homeschooled her as well. The servants were nice to her, but Lucy got sick of the social isolation. Not once in her life did she see someone her age, and hardly ever did she go beyond the giant fence that surrounded her mansion.

One day, Lucy decided enough was enough. She grabbed a bag, grabbed some of her belongings, and stole some of her dad's cash, and ran away. She ran as far as she could, with the help of some passing drivers who took pity on the preteen, eventually ending up in Magnolia.

Upon exploring the town, Lucy had stumbled upon a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties, Aquarius, who had took her in. Aquarius often left Lucy to her own devices, however, and wasn't always the nicest person in the book. But Lucy was thankful to have someone as great and as powerful a figure as Aquarius in her life. Whenever Lucy asked for help, Aquarius would always pull through, even if she had to endure a scolding session.

Lucy could tell that Aquarius cared for her, even if she didn't show it. That's why, Lucy cried a little when she got that acceptance letter in the mail. Aquarius had a proud look in her eye, mixed with what Lucy thought to be a little bit of desolation, despite her expression being the usual scowl it was. Lucy was more than happy to have been accepted to MU, but was also saddened by the fact that she had to leave Aquarius.

But here Lucy was now, face to face with the only thing blocking her from meeting her new roommate. Who knows, maybe her roommate hadn't arrived yet- or maybe she didn't even have one. Lucy sighed, rubbing her temple and nervously unlocking the door, opening it with a shaky hand and timidly looking into the place.

A smile made its way onto Lucy's face upon seeing the room. It was really pretty, with brown flooring and light cream, almost white, walls. There was a loveseat and an arm chair facing a tv, with an open kitchen plan that included a little island. There was a hallway leading to what Lucy assumed was the rooms and the bathroom. "Hello?" Lucy asked, stepping into the room. She couldn't see anyone, however, and she didn't hear any reply.

Lucy gulped, closing the door behind her and walking towards the hallway. There were three doors- one on the left, one in the middle, and one on the right. Lucy presumed that the one in the middle was the bathroom, and that the two side rooms were bedrooms.

You're gonna have to meet them eventually, Lucy reassured herself. Just relax. Lucy walked over to the door on the right and grabbed the handle, opening it and sticking her head in. Right in front of her was a bunk bed, with a desk on the bottom and a bed at the top. To the side there was a wardrobe, and past the bed there was a little corner of the room that Lucy couldn't see.

Curious, Lucy headed over to the corner. The corner turned out to be a little book corner, with bookcases lining the walls and a lamp that was lit. The most notable thing, however, was the blunette in the rocking chair right next to the entryway. She looked up from the book she was reading and smiled at Lucy. "Hello!" She greeted cheerily. "I'm Levy Mcgarden! I assume you're Lucy Heartfilia, right?" She asked.

"H-how did you know that?" Lucy asked, blinking.

"Oh, it was on one of the papers," Levy smiled.

"Oh." Lucy blinked again. She had received a stack of papers with information about the college but she didn't pay attention and threw it out.

"You didn't read it, did you?" Levy asked, and laughed when Lucy shook her head. "Well, I'm a literature major, and a history minor. I want to go to all of the major ancient cities and help with translating their languages!" She smiled.

Lucy's eyes gleamed. "That's so cool!" She exclaimed. "Your dream job sounds so much cooler than mine," she sighed.

"Nonsense!" Levy waved her hand dismissively. "You're an astrology major, right?" She asked.

Lucy nodded. "Astrology major and a Behavioral sciences minor." She informed Levy. "I want to study if and how the alignment of stars and planets affect the zodiac signs!"

"That's even cooler than my major!" Levy laughed. "Anyways, I'm really glad you like the stars!" She grinned. "I think you'll like your room."

Lucy's eyes glowed with excitement. "Let's go!" She said, grabbing Levy's wrist and pulling her with her. Levy barely managed to throw her book onto her chair before she was dragged out of her room.

Lucy's room was mostly normal, with dressers on one side and a desk on the wall straight across from her. Next to the desk was a bed, and next to the bed, which took up the whole wall, was a giant window, which gave her a perfect view of the sky. Instantly, Lucy made a beeline towards the window, smiling in awe. "Woah," She breathed.

"Cool, right?" Levy asked. All Lucy could do was nod. "It's all yours!" She smiled.

Lucy looked at Levy, confused. "Why didn't you pick this room?" She asked.

Levy shrugged. "The windows wouldn't have been of use to me since I just lined up all of my walls with bookshelves." She said, as if it were obvious. "And plus, I knew you would like it since you're an Astrology major!"

"Thank you, Levy!" Lucy engulfed the blunette in a hug, which Levy happily returned. "You're so kind!"

"It's no problem!" Levy smiled, pulling away from the hug. "We can also go onto the roof, would you like to see?" She asked.

Lucy nodded enthusiastically. "Yeah! Let's go!" She put down her suitcase and followed Levy out of the room.


The roof was actually quite a sight to see. It was just an ordinary roof, with a few benches here and there, but Lucy paid no attention to that. The weather was slightly rainy as well, but Lucy paid no attention to it. What stood out to Lucy was the two people on the rooftop. One was a rather pale girl with long, wavy, cerulean blue hair, splashing a tall, muscular, tan man with long, unruly black hair and tons of body piercings, trying to get the girl to go back inside.

"Come on, Juvia," The man groaned. "We've been out here forever."

"It's only been five minutes!" Juvia frowned.

"Five minutes too long!" The man complained.

Juvia splashed him in the face in reply, sticking out her tongue. "You're no fun, Gajeel!" She whined.

"Who are those two?" Lucy asked.

Levy shook her head. "The girl is Juvia, and the guy is Gajeel. They're brother and sister, believe it or not. They moved here from Oak Town a few years back. I'll introduce you to them, come on."

Levy and Lucy approached the two siblings, who had stopped to look at the two girls. "Hello, Levy!" Juvia greeted.

"Gihihi, hey shrimp." Gajeel greeted, patting Levy's head.

Levy angrily swatted Gajeel's hand out of the way, pouting at him and then smiling at Juvia. "Hey guys, meet my roommate, Lucy!"

Lucy smiled at the two siblings. "It's nice to meet you!"

Juvia's eyes lit up. "You're so pretty!" She complimented.

"Thank you!" Lucy giggled.

"I'm Juvia!" The blunette grinned.

"And I'm Gajeel." Gajeel chimed in. "Nice to me-"

Gajeel was interrupted by the loud sound of thunder rolling in the distance. "We should really head inside," Levy suggested.

"I've been trying to say that for a while now, but someone," Gajeel looked at Juvia. "wouldn't listen."

"Juvia has no idea what Gajeel is talking about." Juvia said in a teasing manner, holding back her laughter at her brother's annoyed expression.

"Well, you two can stay out, but Lucy and I are going back in." Levy told the two.

"Okay, bye Levy! Bye Lucy! It was nice meeting you!" Juvia waved to them.

"Aren't we going too?" Gajeel asked his sister.

"You can go," Juvia waved a hand in the air. "I want to stay here."

Gajeel groaned in exasperation. "Didn't you just hear the thunder?!"

Levy and Lucy looked at one another, shurgging, then heading back inside, leaving Gajeel to try and reason with his sister.

As they were heading inside, Lucy nudged Levy. "Levy, you didn't tell me about you and Gajeel," She cooed.

"Hm?" Levy tilted her head slightly in question.

"You two look so cute together!" Lucy exclaimed.

"N-no!" Levy blushed, waving her hands. "It's not like that, we're just friends!"

"Mhm," Lucy nodded, an evil glint in her eyes. "Sure,"

"You suck!" Levy playfully punched the side of Lucy's arm, who simply laughed in response.
