Okay, so for those people who checked out my last Fairy Tail Story (57 views lol!) I deleted it. I may or may not repost it, but I thought I could make something better than that. I thought it sucked :P But no worries! Welcome to Lucy Heart's story! I can't wait to write it! This also takes place after Edolas.

ON WITH DA STORY!

This was the day. I'm going to join Fairy Tail. I know I'm strong enough. Oddly, I'm shy. I built up enough strength to walk in. Mental strength, obviously. I walked in, my sword that was built by my spirits on my back. A celestial sword you could call it? That aside, I walked in yeah, and went up to who I recognized as Mira Jane from the Sorcerer Weekly (I read them when I was smaller), and she smiled at me.

"Hi! Welcome to Fairy Tail! Would you like any help?" She questioned me, that smile never wavering. The smile…

"Oh! I actually was wondering if I could join Fairy Ta-" I was cut off, when, well, I fell flat on my face. I turned around, angry. My moment of no mistakes was ruined! I saw who had knocked me down, and it was… a guy that was half naked?

"KYAA!" I yelled. He turned around and looked at me, and the look that was plastered on my face.

"Oh uh, sorry," He said to me sheepishly. My confidence was fragile at the moment, and it went down to nothing. I stood back up, my knees quavering a little. I turned back to Mira, but then someone said something to me. I turned around, and saw a guy with pink, spiky hair, and a scarf.

"You seem familiar…" then, he started sniffing me. "Yeah! You were the one from sorcerer weekly, Lucy Heart! They said you're stronger than Erza!" What? Sorcerer Weekly did an interview on me? Wait, no they didn't! Well, I do remember when I was training a random guy was secretly watching me… Wait that was the reporter! Oh no. I am so shy too! Why do I have to be shy?

"Hah, you read Sorcerer Weekly Natsu? That's lame," the half-naked one snickered. Hmm, he looked like, Gray Fullbuster! No wonder!

"Y-yeah that's m-me," I stuttered. I just wanted to keep a low profile here and make some jewels. Why did someone have to run their mouth! Then again, I could've just said I was someone else. Why hadn't I thought of that before?

"Who said they were stronger than me?" Erza Scarlet roared, setting her strawberry cake down. Everyone in the room pointed at me.

"Uhhhh," I squeaked. THINK LUCY, THINK! "W-well, I t-t-think N-Natsu said t-t-that, when he s-s-said he recognized m-me. GOMEN!" I yelled the last part, afraid of the sword pointing at my throat.

"Come on Erza, you're scaring the poor girl. Give it a break, Natsu runs his mouth any moment he gets!" I recognized the drinker as Cana. Erza widened her eyes as she realized her mistake, and she put away her sword. (By the way, Lucy is 13 in this)

"What's everyone yelling abo-" the master of Fairy Tail walked down from his office, and stopped abruptly when he saw me. Erza absentmindedly pointed her sword back at me.

"This girl claims she's Lucy Heart. But I would expect her to be taller. Isn't she a celestial wizard? Where are her keys?" Erza claimed. She had a point there. But I've improved from my training. I didn't need any more keys.

"I-I can summon one of my spirits now, if you would like?" I explained, stuttering a bit less now. No one objected, so I took out my sword, and pointed it in the air. "Open! Gate of the Lion, Loke!" I said firmly. My celestial sword grew bright, and then, Loke appeared in his black suit and spiky ginger hair.

"Yes, my princess," he said to me. I gave him a nervous smile and I heard gasps coming from all around the guild hall. I moved closer to Loke, and his eyes were wide with shock.

"LOKE! YOU WERE A SPIRIT?!" Natsu exclaimed in disbelief. This was the guild that Loke from? Would this make my chances of getting into Fairy Tail higher? I can't imagine it being a bad thing. I united them with their fellow guild member.

"You're in!" the master told me. A smile had risen on my face. I can't believe there was nothing more to it! Mira came back up to me, with a stamp.

"What color do you want it, and where do you want it?" Mira chirped. Loke had left my side and was connecting with others.

"Umm, pink on my right hand! Thank you Mira-san!" I looked down at my hand, and my smile got bigger! The courage I had worked up was for nothing, but I got in! I was so happy!

ONE DAY LATER (Badum!)!

"Hey, Lucy. Would you go on a job with me? It's S-Class, but if Natsu said you could be as strong as me, I think you can handle it. So how about it?" I turned around and saw Erza with a hand raised out to me. I took it.

"Deal."

We were going to sit down together, but Natsu and a blue flying cat named Happy came over. "Let us go too Erza!" sadly, they were denied. Not to mention now unconscious.

"This is a job only Lucy and I will handle!" She told them as they started to get back up from the short moment they were unconscious. Erza told me to wait while she got the job request from upstairs (I decided to keep the old guild hall) when she was choosing one, someone walked into the guild. I believe he was Gajeel.

He looked at me, and I looked back, slightly curious. He put an evil smirk on his face, starting to walk up to me. My curiosity didn't last much longer. Couldn't Erza go a little bit faster? Since I was tense, my hand instantly grabbed my sword.

"Woh, calm down there girl. I was only going to say hi to our newest member, that's all," I probably would've believed him, if he didn't still have that evil grin. I kept my sword out while he kept walking towards him. Thankfully, I looked over to see Erza walking down the stairs. But during the split second I looked over my shoulder, Gajeel grabbed my sword. "Iron, my favorite."

FLASHBACK

"Princess?" Virgo said, looking at Lucy.

"Virgo! I didn't see you there! Why are you here?" Lucy asked her.

"Happy Birthday."

All of Lucy's spirits appeared as Virgo handed Lucy the sword.

"You can summon us using this sword now," Aquarius told me. Yes, even she had a smile on her face.

"It took a long time to make, but it won't break," Loke smiled.

"Pun puuun!"

FLASHBACK ENDED

Lucy could only watch in horror as Gajeel took a bite out of her precious sword. When he did, it shone brightly, brighter than ever before. Gajeel was thrown back, and Aquarius, Scorpio, and Loke came out of it. "WHO TRIED TO DESTROY LUCY'S SWORD?!" Loke bellowed.

"I DON'T WANT MY WORK TO GO TO WASTE!" Aquarius roared. The guild hall got awfully quiet, and Gajeel was already running. Even Erza stopped singing about strawberries.

"I-it's alright guys. He's already gone. Thank you," I whispered. My cheeks started blushing a little out of embarrassment, but it was nice to know that they cared, especially Aquarius. Scorpio gave me a wink as they vanished back into the celestial world. It's actually very pretty.

I quickly grabbed my sword that was on the floor and put it on my back again. Erza decided to deal with the situation later, and she showed me the job. "It's a simpler one, but still worth eight million jewel. We have to defeat 10 giant monsters. They are terrorizing the mountain villages."

"Alright, I just want to check into Fairy Hills. I brought enough jewel to pay for the first month, but if we the split the eight million jewel, I'll have enough for a while."

A COUPLE HOURS LATER!

My room at Fairy Hills was huge! I got a nice bed, and furniture, and well, I guess I just needed to decorate and it would be good. I placed my keys on a shelf, even though I didn't use them, it felt good to see them. It reminded me of the friends I had made.

It was getting pretty late, so I decided to unpack more later and sleep, so I can get ready to destroy some monsters. Usually, it takes me awhile to fall asleep, but I was grateful when sleep washed over me in less than a half an hour.

In the morning, I was woken up by Erza at 7:00. I was not a very good morning person, but I was so excited about the job, I shot out of bed and picked out something to wear. I decided on a pair of jean shorts, and a simple pink tank top. It worked.

When I was ready, I ran after Erza, and we checked in with Mira about the job. "Be careful!" She had said. We took the train over to the mountain villages. I thought I heard someone groan, like it was motion sickness, but I decided it was just my imagination. It took a couple hours to get there, and when we did, we head straight to the mountain villages, which were basically on the base of a mountain, by a huge forest. They said the monsters would come out of the forest and attack.

"Maybe we should split up. Will you be able to handle it Lucy?" Erza asked me a little while after we entered the forest. We had no luck finding the monsters yet, which was disappointing.

"Yeah. I can handle the monsters. If there's ten, then they shouldn't be mega powerful. The people would've left the village by now."

We had split up, and instantly, a monster approached me. It was pretty big, and it had huge brown scales. I took out my sword, and decided if I needed any extra help I would call one of my spirits.

Turns out, it wasn't that hard of a match. I had already slashed my sword enough so if I needed to dodge, its moves would be slower than before, giving me more time. But I must've underestimated it. When I jumped up, it lashed its tail, and knocked me back. I panted a little bit, and heard a voice.

"Don't worry Lucy! I'll help you!" I turned around, watching Natsu and Happy run out of the bushes. Huh? How did they get here? "WATCH OUT LUCY!" I turned around, and it was too late. The monster hit me with its claws, full power, and right in my face. I howled with pain as blood spurt out of my wounds.

"What. The hell. Is wrong with you Natsu?!" I screamed at him. They just stood there, surprised. The monster raised its claws, hitting me once more, this time in my legs. I let out another shriek, before Erza must've heard me. She started furiously slashing at the monster, until it fell to the ground. She then ran to me.

"Erza…" I then passed out, looking at Erza's concerned face.

I woke up, and saw Erza, Happy, Natsu, and some of the guild. I quickly sat up, only to find pain in my legs and face. I sighed, and they all looked up at me. They hadn't noticed I was awake.

"Lucy. Are you alright?" Erza asked, concern in her eyes. I smiled at her. I can't believe so many of the guild members showed up even though she had barely spent a day in the guild. I guess she was kinda memorable in how she showed up.

"I think I'm alright. I was handling the monster alright I just didn't expect Natsu and Happy to show up. It attacks weren't too harsh, just the last two, before you came," I replied.

"They're going to be punished, don't worry…"

"You don't have to punish them. It's not exactly their fau-"

"Oh it doesn't make a difference. I'm not only punishing them for almost ending up having you dead, but also going on an S-Class mission without permission from me," an evil glint came into Erza's eye, and Mira's too. Sweet sweet Mira.

I'm glad I got on their good side.

Wow! I got in about 2000 words, including the AN, it would be 2100. I don't usually do chapters this long, but I got a good idea, and my mind went wandering! I was listening to the season two Sword Art Online intro. I love it! Also: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL! BECAUSE IF I DID, MIRA WOULD THINK OF LAXUS AND LUCY AS A COUPLE! LaLu is cute in my opinion. But I may or may not have romance in this story.

Please review and give me feedback and tips!
