The Wishing Stone

Greetings Everyone. It is I, Yukiko of the Snow. And this is my new story, The Wishing Stone. It's a concept I have been developing for a while. My original plan was going to be to wait until I have finished some of my current stories, but the way things are going, I don't see that happening anything soon. And I have been feeling lots of inspiration for this one lately. So maybe this will the kick I need to get my writing juices flowing and help me finish my other stories.

Just a little info about this story.

1. This an AU story. That means relationships, stats, and everything else that pertains to the original story line means nothing to this story.

2. Some characters may come off as a bit OC in example, Lucy may seem a bit more depressed and things like that.

3. Fairy Tail and all its characters belong to the Great Hiro Mashima. I own nothing. If I did, Juvia would have been married and pregnant with Gray's child at the end of the manga.

Summary: An AU story! For 19-year-old Lucy Heartfilia, life was lonely and painful. That is, until she made a wish on a magic stone and it sent her someone that would come to her aid. But this wasn't your typical fairy godmother. No, this walking disaster came with messy pink hair, the ability to breathe fire and the appetite of a bottomless pit.

Prologue

It was nighttime in the quiet town of Marigold. The streets were tranquil, and all the good little boys and girls were tucked in for the night. Resting their sweet little heads on their soft pillows, snuggled in their cozy warm beds, sleeping until they would be welcomed by the light of a new day.

"MOMMY!" a beautiful little girl cried out as she ran around in her room.

Well, almost most every child. The Heartfilia household had a little one that was still full of energy and jumping about.

"Come now Lucy." Her mother called out as she finally caught her rumbustious 3-year-old daughter and carried her to her bed. "It is way pass your bedtime. Mr. Sandman is waiting patiently outside your window. Just waiting for the chance to sparkle some magical sleep dust over you."

"But Lucy not tiwed mommy!" The little girl protested as she struggled to break free of her mother's arms.

"Lucy," her mother said in a stern tone she set her down on her bed. "It's time for bed, little lady." But the little girl had a secret weapon of her own. She looked at her mother with her big brown eyes and pouted lips.

"Lucy wants one mowe stowy. Pweety pwease mommy." Her mother sighed heavily as she placed her child on her bed. Mrs. Heartfilia could never say no to Lucy whenever she made the puppy eyes.

"Fine then, Lucy. Mommy will read you one more story, but then it is time for bed. You promise?" Lucy nodded, rushing out from under her cover as her mother picked out a book on lore and fables; Lucy's favorite storybook.

"Ok Lucy." Her mother sat down while Lucy settled on her lap. "Which story would you like hear about tonight. There is the story of the magical fish, the fairy that hides behind the rainbow." As her mother flipped through the pages, a beautiful blue shimmer caught the 3-year old's eye.

"That one, Mommy!" she cried out, placing her tiny hands on the page. "The one with the pwetty wock!"

"Ah, the wishing stone." Her mother said. "That is a wonderful choice."

"Wishing stone?" The girl echoed her mother. "What's a wishing stone?"

"Well, my dear," Mrs. Heartfilia turned to the book. "The wishing stone is a magical stone that grants its holder their one sincere desire. If you are truly in need, the wishing stone will appear before you and allow you to make a wish. It is said that only a good-hearted person may call upon the magic of the stone, so if you have ill intentions you can't even see this stone. Once a wish has been made, it is carried on the wings of special helpers to a magical king who will be granted it he finds this person worthy."

"Like Lucy, Mommy?" Lucy looked up at her mother. The though of having whatever she wanted made Lucy enlivened.

"Exactly like you, my sweet little princess. If you had a wishing stone, what would you wish for?"

"A pony!" Lucy blurted out.

"Silly Lucy." Her mother gave a chuckle, running her fingers through the child's golden locks. "The wishing stone can't grant you material items.

"Then what can Lucy wish for?"
"Well, something that you cannot buy in the store. If you are scared, you can wish for courage. If you are uncertain, you can wish for wisdom. If you feel weak, you can wish for strength."

"Oh," The little girl closed her eyes as she thought of what she would wish for. Something she couldn't buy seem strange to her, but Lucy was quite the clever child. Suddenly her eyes popped out. "Then Lucy would wish fow evewyone to be happy." Lucy giggled. "Like you and daddy and Lisanna"

"That's a delightful wish, Lucy" Mrs. Heartfilia gave her daughter a hug. "You are such a thoughtful little girl." Lucy gave a yawn as her eyes began to grow heavy. Gently her mother stood up and began to sing her daughter's favorite lullaby.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine…" She slowly rocked Lucy in her arms.

"You make me happy when skies are gray…" She set Lucy in her bed and pulled the covers over her.

"You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away…" She kissed her sleeping child on her forehead. "Goodnight my little one. May all your wishes come true."
