Otherwise, if you had read Supurious Masks before and were wondering what had happened to it, please feel free to read on.
Hello there darlings! So save for The Arcana project I started a while back (I'll tell you later) it's been a few years since I last stepped into the fanfiction world. I had forgotten how much fun it was to write and create. Supurious Masks was an idea that started it all. I didn't really have a good high school experience, so writing what I imagined and what I wanted to be like was one of the ways I got by. I was influenced by many old things, but a "girls vs boys" concept was the one that stood out the most. Looking back at how I started it, I'm so embarrassed by the many mistakes. The cringe is still so real. Oh my lord, my innocent self. If I could turn back the clock, I would do it in a heartbeat. I can't recall how many times I wanted to delete it. There were actually times when I wanted to rewrite it, but life gave me more lemons than what I had accounted for. I soon forgotten about it, as things started to get better in my life. I know it's a little late to the game, but since the beginning of the year, I had planned on finishing this madness. It's been really fun to see my past self through this creativity, and compare it to the me now. I want to see how far I could go, and I hope you all do too. It could take days, months, or even years, but I hope you all will continue this journey with me. I'm not sure how many of you will stay, but either way, I'll appreciate your support. Thanks for reading my rambles y'all.
Also, if you are interested in my other story, The Arcana, please stick around until the end of the chapter for more information! Thanks y'all!
Happy reading,
~ Mia
Chapter 1: Welcome to College

"Someday girls, you're going to have to deal with people that you don't like. Even if you don't really know them."
Five curious pairs of eyes were staring at the woman before them.
"But why do we have to do that?" The smallest one questioned.
The woman just smiled at her sadly. She bended over to pat her head. "You'll know soon enough, darling."
/x/x/x/x/x/x/
A ray of light broke through the blinds the same time a faint ringing echoed through the bedroom. From within the covers, a hand shot out, blindly finding the source. A sleepy blonde cursed from under her breath as she stared at her phone's big black letters. 6:13 am. Her class starts at 8:30.
Lucy debated on going back to sleep. She shook her head, sighing. Dealing with parking was harder than dealing with Erza when they pass by a cheesecake store.
Groaning, she stretched out her aching muscles, strolling her way to the kitchen. She considered making breakfast her morning job, as she's the only one who could do so without burning the damn place down. Looking through the fridge, she wondered what she could make today.
"Maybe.. hmm scrambled eggs and sauteeEAHAEHEHAHAHA-!" She squeaked as she suddenly felt small, tiny hands going up and down around her sides.
Lucy turned around to see her oldest sibling Levy tickling her. A bright smile was plastered on her face. "Good morning, Lu."
Lucy couldn't contain her gasp. "The heck, Little Lev! Why are you awake?"
Little Lev pouted. Despite her name, and very young appearance, she was two and a half years older than her. Lucy gave the nickname on Levy's 19 birthday, when she and the rest of her siblings first saw Levy drunk. "Hey, I told you not to call me that."
"It will never stop. Did poor Mr. Bear get home safe?" Lucy said, emphasizing her words, while cracking eggs on the stove.
If there was any shade redder than red, Levy had it. "Shut up! That was 2 years ago!"
During that time, Levy had apparently hidden a teddy bear in her closet she sleeps with, and had lost it. When she got tipsy, she was sad she couldn't spend her birthday with Mr. Bear. She whined herself to sleep.
She found it within her closet the next day, it was actually burried under her clothes.
"Heh, never," Lucy smirked. "Why are you up so early anyway?"
"Oh my god, how can I not! I'm too excited for today Lu! We're finally going to our dream school!" Levy squeeled.
And it was true. Fairy Tail Bridge University, or FTBU, was what it's called. The locally best university one could only wish upon the stars for. Only the top percent of students could afford it, Lucy was thankful they all got scholarships. The classes were not only filled with rare equipments, but the professors were also considered one of the best. Lucy, being the skeptic she is, still couldn't believe they got the opportunity.
"Oh my god, you broke Levy."
"Oh, good morning Aries!" Levy cheerfully said.
The said pink sibling arrived down the stairs, and plopped on a dining room chair, away from Levy. "You're so happy, what did you do Lucy?"
"I'm not too sure, I'm scared myself," Lucy replied with the same tone.
"Hey!" Levy pouted once more, this time was hard to do so as she had stuffed her mouth full of the eggs Lucy had just finished.
"Well it's true, Levy, you sleep harder than a cat in the rain," Aries replied.
"Mhm, I thought I was still asleep when I saw you," Lucy backed her.
"Well can't complain about that," Levy shrugged her shoulders. "If it were another day, maybe, but this day, we're going to FTBU, guys! How can I not be awake?"
Lucy and Aries looked at one another, and broke into smiles. "Yup," Lucy nodded. Aries chuckled in agreement. They started talking about expectations and soon laughter broke into the atmosphere. It seemed to be so loud, they didn't notice the rest of their family members gather by their kitchen entrance.
"Congratulations, you woke up the sleeping demon. Don't die," Mirajane smiled awkwardly, walking into the kitchen.
"Oh morning," Lucy awknowledged her older sisters.
"Hi guys, took you long enough," Aries nodded.
"Yay, we're all together now!" Levy exclaimed.
"Ugh I was having such a good dream too," Erza groaned, she was not a great morning person.
"Oh? Was cheesecake marriage finally legal?" Lucy grinned, making Aries giggle and Levy die of laughter. Mirajane nearly dropped a plate due to her sudden comment.
"That would be great, but no. It was actually strawberries."
If the house were weak, it would fall due to how much laughter exploded in the air. As the rest of the family were talking and hanging out, Lucy felt like she was missing something important.
What was it?
School? No, she still had time.
Food? Eveything is turned off.
Family? No..
Wait.
"Oh crap! I still need to find parking!" Lucy blurted out of no where. Everyone looked at the time, it was 7:45. Well she was dead.
"Holy crap, Lu! Get your stuff! Go, go!" Levy shouted. The rest of the family yelled similar things while Lucy tried to stay calm. She was practically pushed out the door, before she could say anything.
"Hey guys.. I just realized something," Aries started. "Don't we only have one car?"
"Yeah, so?" Levy wondered, then it suddenly dawned on all of them.
Lucy had class all day.
If their neighbors were in a T.V show, they wouldn't care that everyone from the house were practically running and yelling after a mini van, while wearing half pyjamas, have half comb hair, and stuffing a plate of eggs in their mouth. Until then, they just hope they won't have a complaint when they get home.
/x/x/x/x/x/x/
If life was like it was in movies, the girls would be perfect, beautiful people entering the campus, finding a perfect parking right in front of Lucy's class, and having enough time to chat.
But this was not a movie.
Lucy was constantly cursing in her mind as she pressed on the gas petal, driving around in circles as she tried to find any parking, not even focusing on her class time. Levy was next to her, trying to calm her down, scared of her life.
Mirajane was trying to spot parking using her great eyesight, Erza was stuffing her face with food, and Aries was figuring out her schedule times, so she doesn't do the same thing as her sister.
"Oh Lucy! There's one right over there!" Mirajane suddenly shouted, pointing over to a shaded area.
Lucy pressed on the gas petal, racing as fast as she can before someone else took it.
"Are you fucking serious?" Right when she was about to enter, a blue porsche 911 suddenly swooped in and took the parking.
If she had magic, she just wished she could make the everyone in the world disappear. Instead, all she could do was honk her horn. But as she was about to press her hand on the wheel, she was stopped by Levy.
"Little Lev, what the fuc-"
"Lu, ok, I know they took your spot, but look at the sign for it!"
Lucy didn't really want to have time for this, but she forced herself to read it. Reserved parking. Underneath the message was a drawing of a gold crown that said princesses.
"Oh my god, are you serious?" Aries commented.
"I bet you anything they're spoiled white kids," Erza added.
Lucy sighed. She just wanted to get to class, have an ok day, go home, make dinner, and sleep.
"Ok whatever," she said, driving away from the sight.
/x/x/x/x/x/x/
After 10 minutes of searching, Mirajane finally managed to find a parking, but it was 2 blocks away from where Lucy's class was.
Lucy made a mental note that she'll never be this late again. As soon as she stepped out of the car, she started running towards her class direction, not even bothering to lock her car.
"Lu, wait!" Levy shouted, but Lucy didn't hear.
"Leave her be, she's late," Mirajane said. "Two of us have extra keys anyway."
"Mhm, true," Levy nodded, but was still worried about her sister.
Lu was never good at dealing with stress, I hope she gets there ok.
AN: Oh my god, I finally uploaded a chapter of Supurious Masks Remastered. Y'all have no idea how long I've been wanting to do it. Let me know your thoughts. Was it good? What do you think about the characterization? Any idea who's pov I should do next? Please let me know in the comments.
Also~ I'm also writing a new story called The Arcana. However, it's based on the anime PPGZ, which is my childhood. There are honestly so many good fanfiction of this that are so incomplete they've become nonexistant. I want to help contribute to this lovely gem. The story is inspired by Alice In Wonderland, but with a twist. (Of course I'm not telling you what it is.) It's multi couple and traditional couples, with mystery, romance, humour, action, and many more. Please give it a try if you can, but if it's not to your liking, I won't hold anything against you. Everyone has their own tastes (:
I'm hoping to update the next chapter of SPR (Supurious Masks Remastered) by next Thursday. I hope to update The Arcana by next weekend. Hope to see you all soon~
Happy reading,
~ Mia
