Lucy walked into Fairy Tail with a disappointed expression on her face. Once again she needed help from Natsu during the mission. The blonde girl really tried to save herself, really, but it turned out really bad in the end and Natsu had to fight for her.
Lucy lets a long sigh escape her lips as she slides onto the cushioned seat of the bar.
"Hello Lucy how was the job?" The always positive Mira Jane asks with a smile embracing her lips.
Lucy shook her head with disappointment. "Not good."
Mira tilts her head as her smile fades. "Why not?"
"Natsu had to save me again" Lucy states with a glum expression laced to her face.
"Aw, it's ok Lucy!" Mira says while patting the celestial mage's back and Lucy shrugs and gets off the stool.
"Well, I'm leaving early today. Good bye Mira Jane." Lucy then walks out of the guild hall and walks back to her apartment.
Lucy opens the door to her apartment and walks in. The blonde girl decides to take a bath and walks into her bathroom with a change of clothes. The celestial mage starts to hot water and strips out of her clothing. Once the bath filled up Lucy hoped on in.
The blonde mage turns her head to the right to see her reflection in the mirror.
Your weak, Lucy. You need to get stronger…but how?
Lucy furrowed her eyebrows in frustration and sulked back into the bath. She really was a failure of a wizard or at least that what she believes. The blonde mage decides to get out so she grabs her clean, white towel and dries herself off. Lucy then changes into a pink shirt, white pj shorts, and knee high grey socks. The blonde girl quickly brushes her teeth and blow dries her hair then finally heads out of the bathroom.
A couple of minutes after Lucy got out of the bath she heard a knock on her door.
'It's 9 at night, why would someone be here at this time?' Lucy wondered with curiosity coursing through her veins. Lucy slowly walks over to the door and checks in the peep hole to see Laxus standing there with a white envelope. Lucy opens the door with utter confusion.
"Hi Laxus, what 'cha doing here at this time?" Lucy asks the blonde lightening boy.
"Well I came across this lady and she told me to give this too you." Laxus hands Lucy the white envelope which the blonde girl takes cautiously.
"You can come in if you want…" Lucy mumbles and Laxus hesitantly steps in.
"Nice place you have here" The lightening boy comments and Lucy smiles at him.
"Thank you…" Lucy replies. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all…
Lucy takes a seat on her couch and opens up the seal and takes out a note.
Dear Lucy Heartfilia,
The time has finally come. The day you will come train with us, the dragons. Your mother, Layla Heartfilia, was good friends of ours and asked if her daughter ever struggled in combat she asks if we could train her. Come to the edge of the east forest and there will be a cave with the dragon Grandine.
Hope to see you soon child,
The dragons
Lucy was about to faint when she read this. All of this information was too much to take in all in one note in such a small explanation!
"I'm going to train…with dragons?!" Lucy exclaims and Laxus's jaw literally drops open.
"What…?" He asks with confusion laced in his words.
"I'm going to be trained by dragons!" Lucy says extremely freaked out. The blonde girl turns to Laxus and looks at him with a serious look on her face.
"You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, understand Laxus Dreyar?" Lucy strictly tells Laxus and he nods.
"Well, see you later Lucy and good luck!" He bids farewell to leave Lucy dwell on the fact that she is training with dragons.
"If I'm going then I might as well change…" Lucy states. The celestial spirit mage changes into a blue, off the shoulder shirt that flows out at the wrists, white shorts, black thigh high socks with matching blue trimming, black combat boots, and a white head band with her blonde hair wavy and flowing down her shoulders.
"Alright! I think I'm ready!"
Lucy heads out of her apartment and starts to walk off towards the east forest but was disrupted by a group of people.
"Hey cutie, where are you off to at this time?" Lucy turns around to find a group of 4 men in biker like clothes standing in front of her.
"None of your business!" Lucy snaps and starts to walk off until one of them grabbed her wrists.
"Hey! Watch it or I'll-"Lucy was starting until one of them threw her to the ground. She yelled in pain as one of them stomped on her.
"You better let her go" everyone's eyes averted to the voice that it came from and saw Laxus standing there with his anger literally radiating off him.
"Laxus!" The celestial mage cried happily.
"She isn't your lady so I don't see the problem" One of them with spikey black hair sneers.
"Actually," Laxus throws the man with his foot on Lucy away and picks up and hugs Lucy protectively, "She is my girlfriend!" Lucy's face turns red even though she catches on. Lucy hugs Laxus back, "That's right!" and she rises up to her tippy toes and plants a small kiss on Laxus's lips. The biker gang grumbles and walks away.
Once the group completely leaves Lucy turns to Laxus with a flustered face, seeing he was in no better condition.
"Guess I really do need training…Thank you for the help, Laxus! See you later!" Lucy exclaims and waves good bye to a blushing Laxus and she runs off.
"Bye Lucy" Laxus says and walks back to his house, thinking of what just happened over and over again.
Finally, Lucy reached the edge of the east forest and saw the cave. The blonde mage takes a deep breath and walks in to find a blue dragon sitting down.
"Ah, are you Lucy?" Grandine asks. Lucy nods.
"You must be Grandine" she states.
"And you must be Layla's daughter." And Lucy smiles softly.
"Yes I am" Lucy says. Grandine walks over to Lucy and leans down.
"Climb on my back and hold on tight!" Lucy follows the sky dragon's orders and hops on. Then, she takes flight.
Lucy laughs with glee once they are airborne which causes Grandine to smile.
"Enjoying yourself up there, child?" and Lucy laughs in response.
"So how is Wendy doing?" Grandine asks.
"Oh she is great! She misses you though…" Lucy responds and Grandine smiles when an image of the sky maiden pops into her head.
"That's good news…I miss that girl too…"
Then, Lucy and Grandine enter the dragon world.
"Welcome to the dragon world, child" A red dragon says, "I am Igneel."
"Oh! Your Natsu's dragon!" Lucy exclaims and the fire dragon smiles and nods.
"Yes I am do you know him?"
"Yes! He is one of my closet and most dearest friends!" Lucy exclaims with a smile.
"That's good…" Igneel says as the pink haired boy pops into his mind.
"Ah, Lucy Heartfilia, welcome to our home! We will train you until you become one of the strongest mages ever known to mankind! You will learn each and every element of dragon slayer magic. This will take 5 years at the least, 7 at the most" the black dragon, Acnologia, explains to Lucy and the blonde nods.
"Hai!"
