LUCY'S POV
Imagine this.
It's a normal day at enter-name-here high. The cheerleaders are snubbing three-quarters of the student body. The quarter they do pay attention to… has more interest in enter-sport-here than them. The normal kids are chatting. The Goths are doing whatever it is the Goth kids do. Band and orchestra are nowhere to be found, probably practicing. The druggies are also not present. Bullies are bullying. The nerds are studying. And one girl with grungy blonde hair, baggy T-shirt and shorts, huge nerd glasses, and pink high-tops with blue hearts is sitting by herself on top of a picnic table, reading Bizenghast for the tenth time.
That girl is me.
My name is Lucy Heartfilia. I'm a junior at Fairy Tail High school. This is my first year here. Until this year, I attended the much more judgmental and cruel Sabertooth High. I left because I got into a bit of trouble with a clique there, and they said I was like them, when I most certainly am not. I am not some clotheshorse who cares more about guys than grades and puts people down just because it's fun.
So FTHS is a great school. Nobody says anything mean to me because I stay as invisible as possible, so nobody really says anything to me. At all. It's great, because I don't have to worry about meeting the wrong kind of people. At the same time, it's terrible because I don't meet any kind of people. As much as I want to make friends, it's not going to be worth it if they make me do something illegal, so I stay away from everyone. I'm not antisocial; I just don't want to meet bad people.
But my plan to stay as low and off-radar as possible did hit a snag. A really, really, really cute snag named Natsu. I like him a lot, but there's one problem. He's never going to notice me, even if i started being like my old self again.
Right?
MIRA'S POV
Okay, I love doing this kind of thing! It's kind of like a diary that everyone can read! Wait, where was I?
Oh, yeah!
My name is Mirajane Strauss, but you can just call me Mira! I'm known as a bit of a makeover queen and diva. Just joking about the diva thing, though! I'm a senior at FTHS, so I'll be graduating this year. I have a little brother and little sister, and I sometimes work as a model! Ooh, exciting, right?
Anyway, my favorite activity is makeovers! I especially like making people over who insist they don't need it. Do I have anyone in mind? Well, not in the senior class, but my sister, Lisanna, told me about this poor girl with her in the junior class, who has so much potential in the beauty department! So, welcome to Project… Um… Project…
"Lisanna!" I call. "What's the name of that girl you want me to makeover!?"
"Why?" she asks.
"I need a name for the project!"
"Lucy Heartfilia, that's her name!"
Oh, well, in that case, welcome to Project Heartfilia!
NO ONE'S POV
Mira glanced around the courtyard with her sister. If Project Heartfilia was going to take off, they needed backup. First, Levy McGarden.
"Levy!" Lisanna called. The petite bluenette ran over with Juvia Locksar hot on her heels.
"What's up?" she asked.
"We have a new project for a makeover, but first, we need to finish gathering the team," Mira explained in a serious tone. Second had been Juvia. Now, they needed Erza Scarlet and Cana Alberona.
"Erza! Cana!" Levy yelled. Both girls came over, Cana stumbling due to the whiskey she had just consumed. Erza steadied her before leading the girl over to the rest of the team.
"Whazgoinon?" Cana slurred.
"We have a new project," Lisanna announced. "According to Mira, the project is called Project Heartfilia."
"So I'm guessing our target is Lucy Heartfilia, correct?" Levy inquired.
"Yep!" Mira confirmed, popping the 'p'. "Now, I had Laki in the front office tell me how many credits Lucy has so I can try and get her out of class, since we all have half-days anyway. We still need a way to lure her to my car, though."
"I've got it!" Levy snickered. "Here's the plan." She whispered it to the rest of the girls, who glanced over at their target with wicked grins.
LUCY'S POV
"So there's a sale at the mall bookstore?" I press. "And you want me to come with you?!"
"Yeah!" Levy nods, leading me towards the parking lot. "I don't have a license, though, so a friend of mine is going to drive us there."
Something smells fishy about this. My bad feeling is confirmed the second I see 'Mira and the Makeover Team' in the van Levy leads me to.
"You know what? I really don't need any more books, and the mall is really overrated, anyway!"
I attempt to back away, but Levy is behind me and Erza and Cana are on either side, so I don't have any choice but to get in the van. I'm seriously confused, and terrified of what they're going to do to me!
NO ONE'S POV
As the van pulled into the mall parking lot, Lucy let out a sigh. At least part of it wasn't a trick. Mira pulled the unwilling blonde out of the car as soon as they were parked. Lucy had no chance of escape, with Mira's team surrounding her on all sides. They took her to a store called Blue Pegasus, where a pretty clerk whose nametag read Jenny greeted them.
"Hiya, Mira!" the clerk greeted her.
"Jenny, we have a makeover to do," Mira told her seriously. "Meet Lucy, our new project."
"Hmm…" Jenny looked Lucy over, as if determining whether or not she was a lost cause. "She has potential. The sooner we begin the better."
Lucy looked at the others in horror. Were they actually going to make her over? She soon got her answer when Cana pulled her into a back room where all the other girls joined them…
And locked her inside with them.
Katie: So good first chappie, yeah? I hate school sometimes, especially when I have eight billion projects due.
Natsu: Ha! Loser!
Katie: Oh, yeah! Because I'm getting education so I can get paid a lot of money steadily, I'm a loser, apparently. Last time I checked, I could read over 10,000 words when I was the age you started working.
Natsu: I hate you.
Katie: *crying* LUSHIII! NATSU'S BEING MEAN TO ME!
Lucy: Natsu…
Natsu: *gulps*
Katie: Read and Review! Oh, also, don't forget to ask me questions so I can do a Q & A! So long and thanks for all the fish!
