Hello my freaky darlings, I'm back.
This story is set in modern time, but still Magnolia Town and the country of Fiore. There is no magic, other than the magic of falling in Love.
Do not own Fairy Tail.
Career
Natsu Dragneel walked behind his step-sister, Wendy Marvell. The two entered a classroom in Cait Shelter Middle School, the girl pointed to a desk in the middle of the room. The teacher came over and Wendy introduced her brother. The teacher was a little taken back at Natsu's pink hair, but brushed it off and instructed Natsu to go ahead and look around, but once class started, he was to sit in one of the chairs set up at the front of the class. Today was Career Day, and Natsu, plus a few others would be explaining to the class what they did for a living.
A bodacious blonde, by name of Lucy Heartfilia, walked into a classroom, behind her cousin, Michelle Lobster. Lucy looked around the class, a small smile on her face. A large majority of the kids were there already, putting their bags away and talking amongst themselves. Lucy saw five other adults in the room, with one of them heading over to her. The teacher explained what was going to happen then left them to go talk to the last arrival. Lucy scanned the room again, her eyes locked on a pink hair man, who was staring back at her. A girl with blue hair, shouted out at her cousin, then grabbed the man's hand and dragged him over to them.
"Michelle, who did you bring?" the blue haired girl asked.
"This is my cousin, Lucy." Michelle replied.
"Hello, it's nice to meet you." Lucy said, kneeling down.
"It's nice to meet you too. I'm Wendy, this is my brother, Natsu." Wendy returned, smiling.
"Hey." Natsu stated, trying to play it cool.
Lucy stood and extended her hand, she felt electricity run up her arm, when they shook. Natsu had a grin on his face, never letting on that he felt it too.
The teacher did roll call, then instructed the kids and the six adults waiting, what was going to happen. Each adult would come and stand in front of the teachers desk and introduce themselves, then tell everyone what their job was. Each kid could ask up to three questions, before moving on to the next person. They would start alphabetically by the last name of the child who brought in the guest. The first guest would start the questions with the row to the right first. The second guest would start the questions with the row on the left, switching back and forth, so that each kid had a chance to ask their question before someone else did.
The first one up was a real estate agent. Some of the kids were interested, but not everyone. The second one up was a police man, that got the kids excited, with some asking if it was like the television shows they watched, or as crazy. The third was a chef, the children asked loads of questions about some of their favorite foods. By the time everyone asked their questions it was time for lunch. Wendy asked Michelle to sit with her and her brother. Michelle looked to her cousin, who nodded her head, and the two walked together to the cafeteria.
Lucy went to pay for her and Michelle, when Natsu handed the cashier a twenty, saying it was on him. Lucy wanted to protest, but changed her mind and thanked Natsu for his generosity. The four found a table together, with the two girls chatting quietly. Lucy and Natsu ate in silence, neither one really sure how to get the ball rolling.
"Thanks." Natsu, finally said.
"For what?" Lucy asked, a bit confused.
"For not making a big deal out of me paying for you ladies." Natsu replied.
"I wanted to, but I didn't want to cause a scene. I .." Lucy started.
"How about you take us out for ice cream after school, to make us even." Natsu suggested quickly.
Lucy thought about it, then nodded her head.
Natsu did a happy dance in his mind. The blonde across from him was one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen, if she turned out to be a complete flake, at least he got free ice cream.
Class resumed, and now it was Lucy's turn.
"Hello, my name is Lucy Heartfilia, but I am probably more well known as L. Heart." Lucy said.
The room was silent for a second, before all the kids whooped and cheered. The teacher stood, trying to quiet the kids down. It took the teacher a good five minutes to calm them.
"By your reaction, I'm pretty sure you know what I do for a living, but just to clarify, I am the writer for the number 1 comic book, 'Dragon Tales'. I am also the co-owner of the book." Lucy explained.
"Are Flame and Star ever going to get together?" one girl asked.
"Can you tell us if Flame ever finds his father?" a boy questioned.
"Spoilers!" another boy exclaimed.
"Will Ice finally realize his feelings for Rain?" another girl inquired.
"What is the Light of Dragons?" a boy in the back asked.
Lucy smiled wide at all the questions. She figured it would start like this, but her plan of letting them run out of steam, seemed to be futile, as each kid called out a new question. The teacher stood up again, asking the children to quiet down and give their guest a chance to speak. Lucy explained to the kids that she couldn't tell them anything related to the comic, unless they all double pinky swore that they wouldn't tell anyone else. Each child agreed in an instant, some even exclaiming that they swore on their honor as Dragon Tale wizards to not reveal anything.
"I don't want to give too much away, but eventually Flame will reunite with his father. Lightening will inherit the guild, after he realizes a few things. As for the couples, I think I'll let you guys decide. I want everyone to take out a piece of paper and write down who they would like to see together. I've been wanting to do a special edition and you guys can help me." Lucy instructed.
All the kids got out their notebooks and began writing. Once everyone was done, Lucy had them raise their hands, then walked around the room and collected the notes. She stood at the front of the classroom and told the kids to give the team at least two months to get it done, but promised the kids she would make sure that a delivery to the class was set in place.
Natsu was called for his turn, and stood in front of the desk.
"I don't think anyone will be able to top Miss Heartfilia, but I'll give it a try. My name is Natsu Dragneel, and I'm a Firefighter, but I'm a special kind of firefighter, I'm an investigator. My job involves me staying after the fire is out and searching for the cause. " he said, smiling.
A lot of the kids did get excited, although it wasn't pandemonium, like with Lucy. The kids asked a bunch of questions about his job and what it entailed. When the last question was answered, Natsu returned to his seat, with a small pout to his face.
"What's wrong?" Lucy inquired, concerned.
"They weren't as excited as I hoped." Natsu whispered.
"I'll buy you a double scoop to make it up to you." Lucy whispered back, teasingly.
Natsu grinned, ice cream always made everything better.
Side Note: This is Natsu we're talking about. He is ruled mostly by his stomach.
I will introduce all the main characters in due time. Everyone will reflect an aspect of themselves from the series. There will be brief tidbits of other couplings, but this is all Natsu and Lucy.
