7 YEARS PRIOR...
Lucy and Gray were childhood sweethearts at 9 years old. They were two puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly. All was working well until Lucy moved to America. Lucy remembered Gray's last words to her.
"We'll be separated for a while, but I'll always be thinking about you. So, wear this necklace so the next time we meet I'll know it's you!" He gave her a a white stringed necklace, the pendant was a sun cut in half. The little rays of light danced around the edges of the crescent that shined a bright yellow. "You wear that, and I'll wear this!" Gray held a black one with a half of a moon. It had slight dips everywhere, craters that made it look simply beautiful. When the two pieces were put together, it formed a whole piece, sun and moon joined. "Then when we meet, the two will be put together!" Gray gave Lucy a cocky but charming smile. Lucy accepted the chain and hugged Gray gratefully.
"We'll definitely meet again. " Lucy whispered quietly to herself, still embracing Gray.
7 YEARS LATER
Lucy slowly got on the airplane, a nervous smile on her face. It had been 7 years since she left Magnolia to go to America. Would everyone still be the same? She was excited but anxious. She bit her lip, tapping her foot on the floor.
She sat in first class, of course. Her father would have never let her sit economy, not even business. Lucy was even surprised that he let her go back to Magnolia alone. After 7 years of waiting to go home, Lucy grew impatient and got her dad to let her leave earlier by herself. By the time her dad would come back to Magnolia, it would be 2 years later and Lucy would be out of high school.
Lucy fidgeted around with some buttons on her chair until someone else sat next to her. Lucy saw a flash of red and heaved a big sigh. She didn't even need to look up to know who it was. "Erzaaaaa! What are you doing here?" Lucy pouted.
She looked up to see her long red-haired friend/former bodyguard. Erza flipped through some magazines, waiting for lift off. "Hey, it's not my fault your Dad doesn't trust you. I was forced to come and hightail you. I was supposed to "keep it down low" and "watch you from afar" quote on quote by your father. But I figured might as well get it out and done with. Sooo, I'll be with you, whether you like it or not. And do NOT say you don't want me here, 'cause that's not a nice thing to say to you're best friend."
Lucy opened her mouth, about to say something, then instead quickly looked away. She crossed her arms and said, "Oh, fine. You caught me there. But when I see Dad, he will be chopped up into little pieces. LITERALLY. He should know I am clearly old enough to take care of myself."
Erza rolled her eyes, knowing that was a lie. "Suurrree you can. Sure you can trip and crack your head open! We all know that you are the most accidental and clumsiest person IN THE WORLD."
"Yeah, Yeah." Lucy waved her hand nonchalantly. "Whatever you say." Clearly, Lucy didn't believe Erza.
"We are about to lift off. Please get ready and fasten your seat belts while a demonstration is shown on screen." An annoying high-pitched voice intercepted through an intercom. Erza fastened her seat belt, slowly reclining into her seat. Lucy followed, but struggling on how it worked. Erza laughed, closing her eyes.
"Get comfy, its gunna be a long 16 hours 'til we reach Mags."
Lucy nodded, chewing on some minty green gum. The plane hummed to life as it ran down the runway.
After a few minutes the high-pitch voice came back on the intercom. "We are now in flight to Magnolia. You can now unfasten your seat belts and move around the cabin." Ding. The glowing seat belt sign flickered off and people started moving. Lucy heard a little boy crying in the background as she slowly drifted off to a light but peaceful sleep.
She woke up to the smell of bread and food. Stewards were pushing around metal carts with trays of food and drinks. Erza seemed to have also just woken up because she had her mouth open and she was rubbing her eyes. Erza got a bowl of noodles while Lucy got a glass with some kind of shrimp and fancy sauce.
After eating, Lucy retold her story of Gray to Erza, even though she heard it so many times that she could retell every single detail again. But Erza didn't mind, since she knew that Lucy really liked Gray. Another reason that Erza agreed to Mr. Heartphilia's offer was because Erza wanted to meet Gray and make sure that the little punk didn't do anything to Lucy. And well, Erza didn't really have anything else better to do.
Lucy also told Erza of her old best friend, Juvia, and their adventures. Lucy listed out all of her friends, describing their personalities and all. By the time Lucy finished her lecture, the plane had landed.
As the two were walking out of that plane and into the airport, Lucy froze. "Oh, my God." Her eyes were big and brown, full of fear. "I didn't think this through. I can't do it. I'm not mentally prepared. What if everyone forgot me? I bet you they did. What if they changed and are some weird wackos on drugs? Ahhh! What if-" Erza covered Lucy's mouth, stopping her from starting a full-out panic attack/meltdown. Lucy started turning a purplish blue from lack of oxygen. Erza moved her hand, scratching her head.
"Oops. Sorry," Erza laughed.
Lucy giggled nervously. "No, I'm sorry. I'm probably overreacting."
"So, did you tell anyone that you were coming back?"
"Hmm? Nope! I don't have anyone's number."
"Oh..."
"Yuuup."
"Soo... what do we do now...?"
"Uhh...well, I booked an apartment. Its near Fairy Tail High, where we'll be going to school in a week. Just a few block away from it. We should get a taxi there. "
"Okay, come on," Erza said. Lucy followed her out the doors to a taxi. They got in with only 3 suitcases. The rest of their stuff would be shipped later in boxes. On the way to the apartment, they reached the town. The streets were filled with little shops and antique-looking lamps and benches.
"Hey, can we stop here?" Lucy asked the driver. They stopped and got out of the car with their stuff. She handed the driver some cash and it sped away, leaving a trail of dark smoke. "Sorry," Lucy said to Erza. "I wanted to look around at the stores and stuff. Want to look around with me?"
Erza smiled. "Nah, it's fine. But I'm going to look for the apartment. I'm pooped. Probably the time change. See you later?" Lucy nodded and they waved good bye. Erza took off down the street with the two of her held her small silver suitcase in one hand while she pulled back a lock of her golden hair from her face. She closed her eyes, inhaling a sweet aroma that filled the air. To her, it smelled like home.
The peace lasted for a while until she felt something on her shoulder. A hot breath went across her neck. "Hellooo. Something wrong with your face or what?" She jerked her eyes open. She squirmed away from a face that was laying on her shoulder. The person was a boy with spiky pink hair. He had narrow, black eyes.
"Umm, excuse me?" Lucy said. "Do I know you?"
"Nope!" The Boy said. "Why, you wanna know me?" He wiggled his eyebrows at her.
Lucy laughed. "Ahaaa! No. Why would I?" She rolled her eyes.
He opened his mouth. "Well-" Lucy put her hand over his mouth.
"Actually forget I ever said that. I reaaally don't wanna know what your answer is."
"Fine, fine." The Boy mumbled, pulling Lucy's hands from his lips. "So, what are you doing, running away from home?"
Lucy tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?" The Boy pointed at her suitcase. "Ohh... well, actually, it's kind of the opposite." Lucy grinned brightly. "I'm coming back to my home. You see-" Lucy paused. "Wait, why am I telling this stuff to a totally completely wacko stranger with pink hair?"
The Boy frowned. "That's mean. It's salmon colored! Gosh. And 'cause you wanna tell meeee."
Lucy sighed. "Whatever. It's not like I got anything better to do." The two started walking down the street. Lucy explained how she was with Gray when she was little and had to leave. Unexpectedly, The Boy was a good listener. "And that's the story. Now that I've told you this stuff, can I at least know your name?"
"Natsu."
"...Natsu...? That's a funny name!" Lucy laughed. 'Natsu' pouted. "Instead I think I'm going to give you a nickname. The Boy."
"The Boy? That's more ridiculous than my name. Whats yours? "
"I'm not gunna tell youuu, because then-" Lucy froze in her path, dropping her suitcase handle and making it tip over and drop. Natsu stopped too.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Natsu put his hand in front of her, waving it back and forth. Lucy still stood frozen. In front of them, a few stores away was a boy with jet black hair and a girl with sea blue hair.
"It's- It's Gray...and-and-" Lucy stammered.
"Juvia?" Natsu guessed. Well, he was right. It was Gray and Juvia in front of them. What was worse of all wasn't that they didn't notice Lucy when they passed by, what was worse was one thing. And it broke Lucy's heart. One thing that absolutely changed everything.
They were holding hands.
A tear fell from Lucy's eyes. Natsu stood next to her, unsure of what to do. Well, of course he was. It's not like all the time he met rich girls that came for her lost love and finds the love of her life with someone else. Natsu's eyes lit up, a "great idea" popping up in his head. He grabbed Lucy by her abnormally pale face and smack-dabbed his lips right on hers. Lucy's eyes widened and she finally realized what was happening. She kicked him right "there O.o" and Natsu backed up, bending over.
"Ooowwww! What was that for?" Natsu grimaced in pain.
"Well, what was that for?"
"Now, you have something else to think about besides, you know." Natsu winked. He whistled and a taxi stopped by. He shoved Lucy into the backseat and pushed her suitcase in also. He slammed the door shut. Lucy could barely make out his last words before the car started moving. "It could be worse," He mouthed. "Ciao," He saluted. Some strange guy.
You're right, it could be worse. Lucy thought.
By the time Lucy reached the apartment, Door 13-Z, Erza had already finished unpacking her two suitcases. The apartment was rich and high-class, about the size of a condo. Okay, so it was a condo. The layout was basically a big square. On the right side were a few steps that led to the black and white kitchen. In the middle of the floor was a big fuzzy brown rug and an L-shaped leather couch. Next to it were strange and random chairs and a few coffee tables. The ceiling had a big glass chandelier that could have burned an eye out it you looked at it continuously. On the left wall was a big mirror that took up the whole wall except for a door in the middle that led to a bathroom. The front wall was see-through and had a clear door that led out to a small balcony. The balcony had two white striped long beach chairs and a small table. In the corner of the room was a steel-like rotating stairs that went up to a room for stargazing underneath a glass dome.
Near the kitchen was a big black "bookshelf." The "bookshelf" did hold a few books, but most was fake. When a book in the middle, gold painted, was pulled, a big half-circle hallway was shown. There were three rooms, one Lucy's, one Erza's, and one a guest.
Lucy's room had blue walls with a white pattern laced over. The bed was white and hung above the ground by bunches of white netting that connected to the ceiling. When you sat on it, the bed would start to swing back and forth. There were 3 big wooden windows on one wall that made the room look bright. The ceiling had little dangling white lights that wedged delicately across the vast room. In the corner was a vintage vanity mirror and a small bookshelf. Near the door was a grey desk with pens and paper. A bathroom connected the two rooms in the back.
Erza's room had light grey walls. The bed sat in the corner, fluffy and white with bunnies on it. One whole wall was covered with armor and weapons like guns and numchuks. Near the door was a ninja suit in a glass container. She had a white table with a photo frame of her and a boy with blue hair and a scar near his eye. On another wall was packed with books in bookshelves. She had a big flat screen TV that came out of the ceiling.
Lucy went into her room, dropped her suitcase on the floor and jumped onto her swinging bed. "Hmm," Lucy murmured with her face in the soft comforter. "Seems they already moved all my stuff in." She sighed big and got up to go to the bathroom. She turned on the faucet and splashed her face with cold, icy water. "Wake up, Lucy. It's all gunna be okay." She slapped her cheeks with her dripping hands. Lucy dropped to the floor, her face in her hands. "Who am I kidding? It's not okay. My life totally sucks!" After composing herself, she stepped into Erza's room, shuffling her feet on Erza's nice and fluffy carpet. Erza sat on her bed, looking at a magazine. She glanced up at Lucy as Lucy walked across the room and sat next to the bed.
"Hey," Erza said, flipping through pages of the magazine.
"..." Lucy stared at one of Erza's walls, her face blank.
"What's wrong?"
It took a moment for Lucy to say something. " Gray lied to me. He's dating my best friend. And he doesn't even remember my face."
A tear went down Lucy's cheek silently as she cried to herself.
