Today was the day, the day she would finally meet her soulmate.
Her impatience made her fumble out the door of her apartment, nearly dropping her keys before she stuffed them in her bag. She was meeting up with Levy today, so they could chat aimlessly about books and whatnot.
But, if Lucy was honest with herself, she felt like too much of a nervous wreck to go anywhere.
In her mind she made a list of things she needed to buy before she met Levy: some pens, tea and a new notebook.
She could get all of those in her local newsagent, easy. She rushed in and out in a breeze.
Her nerves had peaked now, the timer on her wrist read 0 days, 23 minutes, 56 seconds. She was due to meet Levy in 30 minutes. Gnawing at her lip, she sent Levy a text: might be late, my timer is close to zero. Also adding a nervous looking emoji to the text.
Levy's reply was a lone shocked emoji.
Lucy kept walking, with her heart beating with trepidation. When the timer was at 0 days, 10 minutes, 26 seconds, she found herself needing to sit down for a minute. Exactly after the minute was up, she continued walking to her destination.
Her mind began to dance with anxious questions like: what if they don't like me? Has that ever happened before? Every question her mind asked made her sigh, there was no taming her feral thoughts.
At 0 days, 4 minutes, 40 seconds she saw some people looking at eachother with awe-struck grins, showing each other their timers. She wondered what her reaction will be.
At 0 days, 2 minutes, 58 seconds she stopped to look at a window display, smiling at the bright flowers that decorated it.
She let her thoughts wander as she walked down the foot path towards her destination, she was too deep in thought to notice she had just walked onto a pedestrian crossing without looking. The streets were pretty quiet, but there were still a few cars driving around.
And, unfortunately, there was one headed for Lucy. But Lucy was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't notice the blaring of the car horn until it was too late.
She turned her head towards the car, which was unable to stop in the frosty conditions because of the icy road, and let out a small scream of horror. Squeezing her eyes tight, bracing for the impact, she flew through the air and hit the ground.
Am I dead?
It was strange, she felt intact. No pains or aches. She was conscious, with no throbbing head.
Hands cupped her face and the owner of them urgently asked if she was okay. In answer, she opened her eyes to find a worried looking man staring at her. She thought her lungs had stopped functioning, the man was a thing of beauty, with tan skin, onyx eyes and pink hair. It complimented him so much she didn't think she could imagine him with any other colour.
Then she remembered, her timer. The thing that she had forgotten about in favour of thinking about her soulmate. She lifted her left wrist up and goggled between it and the man in front of her. The man gazed at her wrist with wide eyes, before adopting a wide grin that she decided she loved.
He lifted up the sleeve of his coat and showed his timer to her, the grin still adorned his face.
0 days, 0 minutes, 0 seconds, the same as her own.
Levy was considering whether Gajeel and herself should get Chinese or Indian takeaway tonight, when she caught sight of her beaming best friend, and her companion.
They reached the table Levy was seated at, still grinning at each other and holding hands. 'They look so cute together!' Levy cooed in her mind.
Lucy was the first to speak, exuberance dripping from her voice, "Levy, I would like you to meet Natsu."
