All rights go to Hiro Mashima. I don't own Fairy Tail. Well, it's been a year since I've written a story and I'm hoping this one will do well. I hope you all enjoy. Oh, and the picture here is a picture I got from Google. Wanted to get that clear too. Major Nalu and Minor Gruvia, Gale, and Jerza.

(Natsu's POV)

BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

"Ugh."

BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

"Ugh, shut it."

BRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNG!

"OK, OK, I'm up already. Can't a guy have a nice dream before his phone wakes himself up way early in the morning? Man and I thought Gajeels' singing was annoying."

This man here waking up is Natsu Dragneel. A 21 year old who is now getting ready to start his first semester at Fairy Tail University. Natsu is a hyper-active, fire-obsessed, and food crazed man. He's also obsessed with dragons and has a talent with drawing art. Natsu had a rough life when he was a little child. He was abandoned when he was a baby and was sent to foster care until a man named Igneel Dragneel and his wife Grandine Dragneel adopted him when he was 11 years old.

After Natsu was adopted, he loved living with the Dragneels, but most of all, having a family. Natsu was able to go to a public school in Magnolia, where he made friends and was able to be educated or in Natsu's case, cause some mischief. Natsu loved pulling pranks especially to a frenemy of his named Gray Fullbuster, who fights Natsu 6 times a day, his first friend, and has a horrible habit of stripping because of his mother, Ur. Natsu also made friends with Gajeel Redfox, who also fights with Natsu, loves to sing, but other people think he needs singing lessons, and has a liking to things that are made out of Iron, which includes motorcycles, cars, and more, and Jellal Fernandez, who is a quiet guy, has a birthmark on his eye that looks like a tattoo, and only fights with Natsu whenever he gets annoyed with his shenanigans.

Two years later, Igneel and Grandine adopted a 9 year old girl named Wendy and she became Natsu's new sister. The both of them got along very well and Natsu became very protective of her that if someone even bumped into her by accident, Natsu would beat the daylights out of whoever done it. As time goes on, Natsu and his friends Gray, Gajeel, and Jellal were able to graduate from high school and were able to graduate from community college a few years later. Now, Natsu is living in an apartment that he rented for a couple of years that is a ten minute walk away from the University while his buddies moved in to the dorms at the University.

Natsu was able to achieve a whole much because of his new family. Igneel would always challenge Natsu to food eating competitions, take him to go fishing until someone has reeled in 10 fishes or until they're bored, and many more father son bonding moments. Grandine would help Natsu with homework and tease him when his friends are over, and she would always show a lot of love to Natsu and he was lucky to have her and Igneel as his foster parents. Wendy loved getting on Natsu's nerve sometimes including her friend, who she has a crush on, Romeo, but loved having Natsu as her brother and having someone to talk to when she's having a bad day and because she and Natsu can relate, both being in foster care. Natsu was sad that he had to move in order to go to school, but he promised he would call every now and then to check up on them and come back home on Thanksgiving to visit them. Now with that, time to get back to the present.

Natsu was waking up early because he wanted to go check out the University with Gray and the others, even though he despises waking up early because he wanted to sleep for half a day. After 10 more minutes, he finally gets up, eats breakfast, gets shower, get into some back jeans, read shirt, brown shoes, and his treasured scarf, which Igneel gave to Natsu and has sworn to always wear it no matter what, and heads out.

As Natsu walks to the university, he thinks about only having to do 2 or 3 more years and he can finally get his Bachelors in Art. Natsu has drawn incredible masterpieces ever since he was little and has wanted to become an Artist and share his work with many other people. Natsu also wants to help many children who've been abused, bullied, hurt, abandoned, and during his time as an Artist. He wants to give them hope and help lead them to the right path. Since he's been in foster care, he believes he can be a leading example to his quest. Natsu wants to help as many children as he can.

Natsu finally made it to the University and was looking for the student lounge building because Gray and the others said they would be there. As Natsu was walking around the college, he turned a corner next to a random building and accidently bumped into someone, causing the other person to drop their stuff onto the ground. "Oh, sorry about that, I wasn't looking where I was going." "Oh no, it was my fault. I wasn't looking," the other person said. After Natsu help picked up the other persons folders, he looked up. As soon as he did his breathing stops and thought time froze.

The person in front of him was a very beautiful woman. She had long blonde hair braided to a side pony tail, had mesmerizing eyes that made him feel floating in space, and when he heard her voice, he thought he heard an angel speaking to him. Natsu didn't notice he was frozen for a minute until he notices her waving her hand in front of him. "Oh sorry, here's your stuff and sorry again." "Thank you and it's alright. Are you a new student here?" "Yeah, I got lost looking for the student lounge. Do you know where it is?" "Yeah, you just go straight and make a left and you should see it."

Natsu gave out a big sigh of relief before talking again. "Thanks and are you a new student here too?" Lucy smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I'm just heading to the main building to finish a few things." "Oh ok, well the name's Natsu. Nice to meet you." Natsu pulled out his hand and Lucy took it and shook it. "My name's Lucy. I look forward to having a good semester with you." Lucy gave off a big smile that just made Natsu wanna faint right there. "Well, I have to hurry. I hope to see you soon." And with that, Lucy headed off while Natsu waved to her. As soon as she was out of his sight, Natsu headed off for the lounge while thinking about the blond haired beauty.

"Dang, I wondered what this University has in stored for me. Well, at least there's one thing I'm looking forward to this year."

Well, I hope you all enjoyed it. This is my first AU story and I'm looking forward to writing more of this story. Please let me know what you think and what I need to do to improve. Until next time, see ya.
