So, procrastination's a bitch and so is my horrible writer's block. It's not helping that I have barely started the next chapter of Diner Girl and people are demanding for the next chappy. Gomenosai, people!

While I was suffering from writer's block, this happened to pop in my head. So I thought, "Why the hell not?" and here we are! I was inspired from the Disney movie, "The Newsies", (hence the name and a part of the setting) and I asked a friend of mine if I should put this out. So you should thank my friend for that one! Let's call her Kiba, so thank Kiba! XD

ONWARDS!

.:My Sob Story:.

The thing about having my life is that it sucks.

Why may you ask? Because I have no life, there's basically no meaning to my worthless and bland soul. I'm just your average joe, the working class-man trying to make a living at 17. You may ask this to yourself during my little spiel; why do you hate your life? Is it that depressing?

Yes. It very much is, sadly. And I'm not proud of it. But what can I say? It's not really MY fault; it's just how God wanted me to live my tiny worthless life. Depressing, outcast, Hunchback-of-Notre-Dame ugly. Not in looks, but in how people perceive me. Just from my simple job, I'm shunned from society and prejudice is grown strong in this city.

"Get your asses up boys! Time for work!" yelled Makarov, holding onto the trim of the doorway. He started leaning back and forth, causing the flooring to creak from age. Inside the room, many wooden bunk beds were spread across, each bed holding one young man. In the dirtied and chocolate-covered windows, Makarov walked over to them and opened the blinds, sending in opaque rays of sunlight. Groans ranging from hearty-low to pitchy-high were heard and Makarov grinned to himself when several flat pillows were thrown towards him. Dodging each pillow, the short man yelled once more. "Let's go! Let's go! Time's a wasting!"

Slowly realizing I couldn't stay in bed all day, I pulled the covers off and swung my legs to the side of my bed, touching the cold hardwood floors with dirtied bare feet. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, getting my drowsy state back into action. Rubbing away the last of the sand near my eyes, I stood up, making sure I didn't hit the top bed, where a certain somebody would be pissed at me.

"Oi, get up." I muttered, slapping Gray's forehead. Gray jumped and sat up straight only to see that it was me that woke him. Gray scowled, "Shut up dumbass."

"Make me, Icicle-Bastard!" I retorted.

"What'd you say Flame-Shit?!"

"ENOUGH!" Makarov yelled. Gray and I winced when Makarov shouted and we covered our ears. "No fighting in the morning! Wake everyone up you two!"

Gray grumbled and stood off his bed and started to shake Romeo's shoulder on the top bunk. I muttered more incoherent words about Gray. Rolling my eyes, I woke Gajeel, who slept on the top bunk of the bunk bed. Said man thrusted out his fist for it to hit my face, sending me backwards and knocking me into Gray.

Gray was about to say a snarky comment when Makarov's glare silenced him. I snickered until I got the same treatment.

After waking up Jellal, Romeo and Gajeel, we all got dressed in our uniforms; either a flannel shirt or a raggedy old white dress shirt (tinted yellow and a couple sizes too big), on top of that a vest with a couple pockets here and there, an old pair of trousers or knickers with attached blue-white-and-red straps (faded from use), long black stockings, flat caps for weather and some of us would wear ties. After that, there were our boots that squeezed our feet and had growing mold on the soles.

Fixing my cap, I grabbed my carrier bag and looked to my co-workers with a solemn face. "Ready?" I said. Jellal nodded, "Yeah."

I am Natsu Dragneel; orphan left on the street and a Newsie, or Paper Boy, in 1903, Brooklyn, New York City.


Well, here's the prolouge! There's gonna be so much more to this people! And also; I've noticed that a lot of people are making stories around the early 1900s to the 1920s, usually on other couples in Fairy Tail, BUT NOT ON NALU! (Or at least I think there is . . . ) So I decided to do a story with most of the canon (or I think so) pairings. So here you are! :)

Review please if I should continue!
