Letters to you
{Sometimes the only way I can show people how I feel is by writing}
Lucy smiled giddly to herself, pulling her brand new laptop out, putting it carefully down onto her desk. She giggled uncontrollably, opening the device to look into the clear screen. She timidly clicked the on button, fascinated by the start up. She grinned to herself, rapping her fingers against her thighs in anticipation.
Ding!
She stared in fascination, clicking the custom start up so she could hurry up and play on the thing. Once it finished loading, she experimented with the mouse, awestruck.
They never had these when I was a kid... She thought to herself, figuring out how to work it pretty quickly. Soon enough, she clicked on the internet explorer icon, opening up the world wide web.
The man at the store said they had made emails for everyone in existence, even if they didn't have a computer... Lucy thought hesitantly. She slowly typed in the address she had been assigned, waiting for the bar to load.
You have 15 new messages!
She blinked once. Twice. Thrice. Wow I didn't know I was so popular. Lucy thought with a cheeky smile, clicking on the first ever sent message.

Subject: Hi!
Hello Lucy-san! This is Natsu Dragion from Edolas! Surprised?
Levy-san invented this weird webnet in Edolas and now everyone is using it. I didn't want to at first but everyone said I should at least give it a try.
So here I am, writing to the first person I could think of. How are you? Levy-san said you wouldn't get this since you guys wouldn't have it, or at least yet. But I didn't care, I just wanted to send this to you. This makes me feel peaceful.
If you did have internet, you might not have this exact email, but I just guessed. Hopefully I'm right? haha. But anyways, I just wanted to let you know I was doing okay...if you could say that.
Lucy-san-my Lucy-san-isn't really nicer to me but...she's who she is. Are you doing okay? How's your life?
Sincerely, Natsu Dragion 'a.k.a.' Fireball Natsu
Lucy blinked in surprise. She never thought she'd be getting a letter from him, of all people! And the date...Edolas was farther ahead than them! She scrolled to the next one, seeing it was him once more.

Hey Lucy! I wrote you another letter! I guess you could say I'll be writing these for a while. Why? I don't know...they make me feel happy. I guess I'm saying...you make me happy?
Well anyways, are you okay? It's been two days and all I've been thinking about is you. And everyone else in your Guild, of course.
Did you get to Earthland safely? For all I know, you could be dead...
Sorry, I didn't mean to be depressing ;-; next topic~
I'm still searching for a new fuel for my four wheeler. I really wish I could ride it...hm..
Well are you doing good? I hope so! Have a great day Lucy-san!
From Fireball
Lucy scrolled through the email labels, noticing they were all from him. She couldn't help but blush slightly, smiling goofily. She was touched that the kind Fireball would think to write to her.
"He kind of reminds me writing to my momma.." Lucy thought out loud. Her heart started beating loudly in her ears, warming her up.
Slowly, she read through all of them, feeling slightly sad at the same time.
Hey Lucy
Lucy it's me again.
Hey...
It's my birthday, haha! Happy birthday to...never mind.
Are you there?
Will you ever see these? I'm wasting my time..
I miss you.
Lucy felt a frown tug on her lips, seeing how lonely Fireball would be. It made her heart ache to see someone holding onto something important to them, only for it to be for nothing.
Lucy blinked in surprise when she noticed that a wide gape of seven years was in the messages. She clicked on the first one that was the oldest.

Sorry Lucy! Sorry sorry sorry! I didn't mean to stop sending you messages...
Someone tried taking over Edolas and froze half of Fairy Tail in time for seven years! Yeah, seven! I'm not even kidding!
So I'm still eighteen..haha. I bet you're like, what? 300 ;D
Just kidding...I don't think you could ever be ugly.
I think. c;
Well I gotta go, Ashley's yelling at me. Oh, btw, I found a new resource for fuel! It's called 'gas' weird, right? Oh well.
Bye! ^^
Dragion
"What are you doing Lucy?" A voice called over her shoulder. Lucy jumped nearly three feet into the air, clutching her chest in shock.
"N-Natsu!" She realized, frantically slamming the laptop closed. She could feel her cheeks starting to color, thinking of what would happen if he saw the letters.
"Uh..yeah?" He replied cautiously, eyeing her suspiciously. She gave a nervous wreck of a smile, hovering protectively in front of her computer.
"W-What are you doing here?" She asked in annoyance, narrowing her eyes at him. He shrugged in response, grinning innocently.
"GET OUT!"
"Waah~"
"Why is Lucy always glued to her laptop?" Pantherlily asked in confusion, staring at the blonde who was nose deep into her computer.
"Isn't it obvious?" Levy came up to him, a soft smile on her lips. Pantherlily looked up to her innocently, his arms crossed over his small frame.
"She's talking to her crush~" Levy giggled before walking away. Pantherlily blinked twice before nodding his head as if he accepted the response, walking off to spare with Gajeel(and gloat that he talked to Levy).
Lucy, I think this will be the last message I send you.
Lucy-san says it's not healthy writing letters to you. Which, honestly, I write these for myself, too. I can't be sane in a place like this for long. But, whatever, I can't just disobey Ashley.
I'm sorry, I really liked sending these to you...
Bye Princess.
Natsu
Lucy frowned at the last message she had received, finally able to finish all of them. Mira walked over to the blonde, confused by why she was so sad.
"What's wrong Lucy?" Mira asked curiously. Lucy shook her head. She didn't want to tell anyone about Fireball's messages. She felt like they were sacred...just between her and him.
She sighed, rubbing her temples. She put the laptop down, burying her face into her hands.
"Lucy?" Mira called in concern, watching the blonde carefully. Lucy looked up, a distressed look on her face.
"Mira! I think I've fallen in love!" She cried out desperately, her cheeks a rosy hue.
x.i.i.x
"I've gotta go, bye!" Lucy hurriedly took her pay, rushing out of there. Erza blinked in surprise, staring after the blonde before exchanging looks with her other teammates.
"What's with her?" Erza mumbled, watching as the blonde ran out of vision with inhuman speed. She shook her head, smiling slightly.
Lucy panted, slamming her door shut behind her carelessly. She ran to her desk, sweat pouring down her forehead though she hardly noticed. She turned the laptop on, jumping up and down, nearly scream impatiently.
"Load! Load! Load! Loooad!" She screamed, urging it on. The computer finally turned on, making the celestial mage squeal in excitement. She plopped down, scrolling to her email automatically.
You have no new messages
Lucy deflated visibly, disappointment looming over her. She hadn't received a message ever since the departing checked everyday though, but knew it was hopeless.
"Fireball..." She felt tears pool in her eyes as she curled into herself, the computer shutting off from inactiveness.
""Merry Christmas Lucy!" Mira chimed. Lucy faked a smile, nodding in response. She plopped down on her chair, staring longingly at the table.
"Still down?" Mira asked sadly. Lucy nodded her head, looking back to Mira.
"Don't worry about me Mira." Lucy waved her off, insisting she was fine.
She was such a liar.
"Are you excited for the party tonight?" Mira asked excitedly, trying to change the topic. Lucy grimaced, shaking her head.
"Uh no..actually I don't feel good enough for that, I'm sorry Mira." She wasn't lying this time, she really was feeling sick. She got up from the stool, walking out quietly.
She walked home, seeing her laptop mocking her. She sighed, sitting down on her bed, ready to sleep.
Ding!
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows, her eyes tightly closed. She slowly opened them, squinting at her computer in disbelief. She got up, slowly walking over to it.
iwannagofast sent you a message! 0 minutes ago
Lucy clicked on it hungrily, tingling with shock. Was this some kind of sick dream?
Hi Lucy,
It's me. Yeah, I couldn't stop myself from writing once more-after all, it's Christmas.
I wish you could actually see these. I wish they wouldn't be useless.
But I won't be bitter now, I have no room to be. I just wish I could mean something to you, I guess.
Merry Christmas, what do you want for christmas? I think I'd want to go to Earthland, see everyone from there, y'know? :s
well bye, I guess
Lucy felt a wide smile break out onto her face as she cheered in happiness, dancing in a circle before racing to the computer, clicking on reply.
She hesitated, staring nervously at the computer. Of course! Why didn't she just write him a letter?
FIREBALL!
IT'S ME! I JUST GOT ALL YOUR MESSAGES!
Sorry for the capslock, I'm just so excited!:D I'm so happy you sent me another letter (: I was scared you wouldn't write to me anymore...
I think you're really sweet for sending them to me, so thanks a ton. I really miss you, to be honest. I never thought I'd be falling in love-
Lucy quickly deleted the last part, blushing profusely.
I never thought I'd talk to you again! (She wrote instead) I've been reading all your messages and I'm so happy to have a friend like you.
Please reply soon, I can't help but be impatient c:
Lucy!
Lucy quickly sent the email, grinning like a madwoman. She looked over to see Plue had came to her side, She swooped him up, hugging him tightly.
iwannagofast sent you a message! 0 minutes ago
Lucy felt her heart resound in her ears, the quiet thump chilling her to the bone.
She had butterflies in her stomach.
DID YOU SERIOUSLY RESPOND TO ME?
I'm so happy! Hi Lucy-san~ I never thought you'd actually see these! You read them all? Wow! How are you? This is the best christmas ever! I thought I was wasting my time this whole time...
Natsu
Lucy smiled lightly, pouring her heart into her words.
Of course I read them all, I loved them all.
Look Fireball, I kinda...well, reading all your messages made me realize my feelings for you.
Lucy was about to press the 'send' button when suddenly a window popped up.
iwannagofast wants to video chat!
Lucy clicked on the accept button curiously, blinking in confusion. Suddenly the window changed, Natsu Dragion appearing on screen.
Thump...thump...thump...
"Lucy-san!" He yelled, grinning crazily. Lucy felt her own grin plaster onto her lips, a light blush coating her cheeks.
"Fireball!" Lucy exclaimed back happily, forgetting Plue in her arms.
"W-What's that?" Fireball asked wearily, staring at the snowman dog in her arms.
"Oh this is Plue! He's a celestial spirit." Lucy explained, giggling at Dragion's reaction. Natsu instantly calmed down, smiling slightly at Plue.
"He's cute, kinda like you."
Lucy blinked in surprise, smile widening.
