Hello there! This is my first time doing this kind of story! Anyway, since I've seen how not too many people seem to like my stories(D:)... This one will remain a one shot unless people want me to continue :)

"I found you on a bridge."

"You came one day, on the steps."

"The stork brought you."

"I found you outside the building inside a cardboard box."

These are all funny excuses parents make when kids ask, "Mommy, Daddy, where did I come from?"

But the thing is, in Fairy Tail(otherwise known as "The Shelter for the Lost"), these are all true stories.

No child within this building knows where they came from, but they sure as hell know that Fairy Tail is filled with a new family.

A young blond, new to Fairy Tail, sits on the lap of Makarov. Like every resident who arrived at Fairy Tail at an age past newborn, she lost her memories.

"Master, where did I come from?" she asks in her cute, timid voice.

Makarov smiles down on the little 5-year-old, "Well, child, I'm not too sure, but I do know that it doesn't matter to us."

Lucy frowns, "Why not?"

He brushes his thumb against her nose slightly, "People may judge you, and try to break you for not knowing where you came from, but as long as you have us with you, you will always know who you are."

Lucy smiles and giggles, "Ok!"

Even after 12 years of that conversation, Lucy still remembers it, and lives by Makarov's words.

"Hey fairy!" A neighborhood bully yells as Lucy heads for Fairy Tail after school, "You going to that loser orphanage? HUH?!"

Lucy turns around, smiling, "I sure am! That's my home, after all!"

Two shadows go over the bully, heat from one, and cold air from the other.

"You got something to say about Fairy Tail, you bastard?!" the two voices yell.

The bully turns around and backs away, "Uh... N-no... N-not at all!"

The dark blue-haired one throws ice cubes at him, "Then scram!"

The pink-haired one next to him holds a torch in the air, "Get the hell outa here!"

The bully bows and runs away, yelling, "MOMMY!~"

Lucy watches and giggles, "Don't you think you guys went a bit too far?"

The blue one grins and then growls at the pink one, "Well, Fire Brain here is the one who went too far, holding that scary-ass torch!"

The pink one growls back, "HUH?! If it wasn't for my fire, that weirdo wouldn't have run off only by those pathetic ice cubes, you Ice Pervert!"

"Who you callin' Ice Pervert?!"

Lucy points, "Gray, clothes."

The blue one, or Gray, looks down, "Crap!"

The pink one laughs, "HAHA!"

Lucy points, "Natsu, Gray has a point. Why not try being intimidating without the torch?"

The pink one, or Natsu, grins, "It wouldn't be fun, then."

Lucy smiles, and then starts laughing.

The two boys frown, "Why are you laughing?"

Lucy shakes her head, "I'm just glad I have such a great family, let's go back to Fairy Tail!"

The boys nod, "Yeah!"

Hope you liked it!
