The Life Up There
Chapter 1: Introduction
A/N: Yo! xXVanillaVictoireXx here! This is just a random story I created. I've never seen or read a fanfiction about air stewardesses or planes so I thought, maybe I should write one? I have totally no experience, nor had I done any research for this story. So pardon me if I didn't get my facts right. ( ^^ )'" This is my first fanfiction so please be easy on me and I hope you enjoy this story. Don't forget to R&R! NatsuXLucy
I do not own Fairy Tail or the characters.
Natsu Dragneel is far from poor. In fact, his family is one of the richest of the rich. The Dragneels has a huge house, three long limousines, jet planes, yachts and mostly anything you can imagine wanting.
His father, Igneel owns chains of hotels called Fairy Tail that could be found all over the world, which is probably the most successful business in the world. As for his mother, Grandine runs a big hospital.
Natsu has a younger sister named Wendy and a cousin called Gajeel Redfox (Of course, Gajeel is another heir of the Redfox company). They like to hang out with each other despite all their differences. There's also Gray Fullbuster (also from a rich family), who was close to the Dragneel family.
Natsu and Gray were friends since young and they were like brothers. They usually get into fights and loads of trouble together and yet they have each other's back even without being said. It was no doubt they care for each other though they would never admit even if hell froze over.
As the oldest in the family, Natsu would one day inherit Fairy Tail. But before that, he wanted to travel around the globe. In truth, he never wanted to take over the business; he only wanted to see the wonders of the world. His parents allowed him to use one of their private jets but only if he agreed to take up the position. Expecting that, Natsu accepted the proposal.
Gajeel and Gray travels with him and sometimes even Wendy follows if she doesn't have to go to school. Life was great for Natsu, he had everything. He just didn't know some weren't as lucky as him.
Lucy Heartfilia is a waitress, translator, salesperson, chef, cleaner, paramedic and fireman all at the same time. How is it possible to be a waitress, translator, salesperson, chef, cleaner, paramedic and fireman at the same time? Simple. One word: Air Stewardess.
Flying in the air means not to only know how to cook and serve lunch, but selling duty-free commercial goods and speaking at least basics of different languages, not to mention assisting in childbirth (or something similar) or fire fighting. There is also the plane toilet duty which Lucy hates oh-so-much. I know it all sounds bizarre but it is possible and it is happening.
To be an air stewardess, you had to have a minimum age of 20, tall at 150cm or taller (but not so tall till your head hit the ceiling of the plane), a healthy body with good eyesight and hearing, to speak fluent English and at least a good second language and most important, an ability to remain calm during emergencies or dealing with difficult passengers. Of course, Lucy had all that.
When Lucy first applied to be an air stewardess (at the age of 19), she hadn't known it was this tough and exhausting (she had training for a year). It was because of the salary that she even thought about going for the job. She wasn't materialistic, it was just that her father was in some debt (and not a small sum) and now it became her problem too.
Her father ran away to who-knows-where and her mother died when she was just five, leaving her to repay the money all by herself. They even took away her house so Lucy was forced to live on the streets.
Luckily, her best friend Levy offered to share an apartment with her. At first, Lucy was afraid she might pose a trouble to her but Levy shrugged it off. "With you, it would be less lonely since I live alone." She had said. Lucy was so grateful towards her friend and promised herself to somehow repay Levy one day. Even though Lucy had dreamed of being a writer since young, having a high-pay job is the only choice she could have.
Despite the troubles, she got to say, being an air hostess has its benefits. She get to travel to different places, see a little bit of the big world and meet different people from different places which each brought their own culture and each having a story to tell.
It had taken her just a few flights and a few incidents and some hands-on experience to conclude: the sky is crazy.
A/N: Well, this is just a short introduction to describe Natsu and Lucy's background. The next chapter will be longer, I promise! R&R!
(P.S: Please tell me if I have any mistakes in anything. DX I hope I didn't _( ^^)_)
