A/N: This is my second Fairy Tail story ^.^ I hope you all enjoy. I'm not sure how long this story will be though….
Chapter 1
One More Year
"One more year…just one more freaking year."
"One more year to what?"
Natsu sat up in his bed as he watched the indentured servant of the Dragneel family, Lucy Heartifillia come in with a basket full of clothes to fold.
When Natsu was twelve, his dad received a phone call from his friend Jude Heartifillia. He asked if they could take in his daughter because apparently she was getting in trouble a lot.
Ok, that's the softened version of it. Actually, she was sleeping with almost every guy in her school then she failed all of her classes. So, during winter, spring, and summer break she came to the Dragneel's home.
Natsu couldn't recall, but he was sure Jude owed his dad some money or something like that. Maybe that was the main reason Lucy was here and his parents didn't tell him.
Natsu's mother, Grandine, had told him that Lucy had one year left in her service. Natsu was estatic! Lucy and he did not get along that well. There were usually a few times when they would have a moment of talking like best friends, but it wasn't often.
Lucy sat the basket down on the floor and began to fold Natsu's shirts, pants, and shorts.
"One more year 'till you're gone. You are graduating, right?" Natsu asked hopefully.
Lucy glared at him and put her hands on her hips. "Hopefully. I'm here during most of the year and it seems like I'm hardly at school anyway."
"Are you making good grades?"
"Yes. The first time I had to work here I was determined to get good grades."
"You still whoring around with boys?" Natsu asked with a gleam in his eyes. Lucy smirked.
"Actually, dumbass, my dad found me a fiancé. As soon as I graduate, finish up my service, and then I'm getting married to him. After that we never ever have to see each other again."
"Yes!" Natsu cheered, "Best day ever!"
Lucy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, well, dinner is almost ready. We're having chili."
His mouth watered, "Spicy chili?"
"Yes."
Lucy finished up folding Natsu's clothes and went to the dining room where dinner was being served. She and Mrs. Dragneel talked about the vacation they were taking for Christmas. Lucy was invited to go as a guest not a servant. Natsu's little sister, Wendy, and their cousin Gajeel were coming along as well.
After Lucy finished up her work for the evening, they all sat down to the living room to watch a movie. Lucy and Natsu were arguing over which movie to watch when the phone rang. Mr. Dragneel got up to answer it.
"Hello?"
…
"Hey Jude, how are you?"
…
"Oh?"
…
"Oh!"
…
"We'll get it done right away."
Mr. Dragneel hung up and stared at Lucy sadly. "W-what?" she asked nervously.
"Lucy, your school is about to take to kick you out. You haven't received enough credit hours even though your grades are better. You have two options. Start taking the required credentials online or going to Natsu and Wendy's school, Fairy Tail Academy. If you choose the second option, you have to stay there for the remainder of your junior year and your senior year."
Lucy had her answer right away. "I'm taking online classes!"
"Thank God!" Natsu cheered.
Mrs. Dragneel frowned, "Why do you hate each other so much?"
"She's a whore and annoying." Natsu answered.
"He's a immature brat who made me wash his stinky socks and boxers for two years just because I ruined his Xbox! Of course I'd hate him!" Lucy answered.
As Lucy and Natsu continued to spout insults at each other, Mrs. Dragneel whispered to her husband, "Maybe having them go on this trip was a bad idea…"
A/N: I'm sorry it's short! It'll get better ^.^ I'm not sure how long updates will take ._. sorry.
