I don't own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.

Chapter 2

Lucy sat in the train with her diary in front of her. Sagittarius drove her all the way to the station,

helped with her bags and then left. Now she was truly alone and only had herself to depend on. She started writing in her diary, to pass time on the train.

Dear Mama,

This is it. I start a new life for the next four years. I want to have this last chance of freedom, before I must take over the company. I will not break my promise and I will learn to love the company as much as you did. I promise to make both you and Papa proud.

Love, Lucy

"Next stop is Magnolia, 5 minutes till the stop. Please collect all your belongings." said the automated voice of the train.

Lucy clasped her diary and put in her bag. She headed towards the luggage compartment of the train and collected her duffel bag and large suitcase. She then headed towards the train doors. After the train came to the complete stop, she carefully got herself out the train.

Outside the train station, many cars and taxis whizzed by. This was her first test, she had heard how difficult it was to hail a taxi. Raising her hand, she held out to the side, a taxi came right to her in a split of a second. Unbeknownst to her, everyone noticed her beauty and wanted to be the one to help her. "Hey there girlie, where are you headed towards?" the driver asked.

"Magnolia University." Lucy replied, taking her bags to the rear end of the car.

The driver sprinted out of the car to help put her bags in the trunk. "Magnolia University is 15 minutes from here, I can take you there in eight minutes if you would like."

Lucy, not wanting the driver to break any road rules, said "That's all right, 15 minutes is good." She stared out the window to check out the impressive city. There were many buildings and people hustling around. Soon she could start to see the University, it was pretty huge and looked like a castle.

Once they got to the front of the school, the driver helped get her bags out of the trunk and she paid him for the ride. He gave her his card and said he would be willing to help her anytime.

Lucy looked around and saw tables with many people around it. She walked up towards the area and a white hair girl approached her. "Hi, I'm Mirajane. Welcome to Magnolia University. Are you here for orientation?"

Lucy was stunned, Mirajane was so pretty like a model, she couldn't help but stare. "Uh, hi, yes I am here for orientation."

"Okay, over there at the blue table you will get your packet which contains information about your dorm room and your orientation details."

Lucy saw the blue table and started to walk towards there, not before telling Mirarjane "Thank you."

"Ashley, Lucy Ashley." Lucy told the person at the blue table. It was weird having another last name. She took her packet and tried to find her dorm building. As she looked around, she saw many students with their families who came to drop them off. Obviously she knew that her father could not be here, especially because he was a well-known figure in the business world. But looking at the parents who came to drop their kids, she felt a slight pang in her heart, wishing her dad could have been here.

She found her building, which was a co-ed dorm. So boys had floors 2, 4, 6, while girls were on floors 3, 5 and 7. The first floor had laundry and a lounge. Her room was on the seventh floor. Coming out of the elevator, she took out her room key, which was in the packet, and opened her door for room 707.

She first saw a petite girl with blue hair, who smiled when she saw her. "Hi, you must be my roommate. I'm Levy McGarden."

"Hi, Levy. I'm Lucy Ashley." She looked around the room and saw two of everything. Two beds, dressers, desks and chairs. The left side of the room look occupied.

"I hope you don't mind, I took the left side of the room." Levy said sheepishly.

"That's all right with me." Lucy smiled and set her bags on the bed. She turned to Levy and asked her what she was majoring in.

"I'm a Linguistic* major. What about you?"

"I'm majoring in Business, but I will be also minoring in writing."

"That's sounds interesting. I love reading, if you write anything, I want to be the first to read it. Do you want to go to the cafeteria to eat dinner, after orientation?"

Lucy excited to have new friend, nodded enthusiastically. Their orientation was in 2 hours, so she spent her time unpacking, talking to Levy, and changing her clothes. She wore black jeans, a grey long sleeve top with shoulder cut outs, and a simple thin black head band.

During orientation, she learned where her classes, the library, the cafeteria and other important buildings would be. After, she found Levy and they headed to the café, to grab dinner and eat on the lawn. She noticed that people kept looking at her and giving weird looks, worried about her actual identity being exposed, she asked Levy why people were looking at her.

Levy scoffed, "Lucy are you blind? Everyone is looking this way, because you are hot."

Lucy blushed and turned red, "I'm sure that's not the reason." She looked and saw some boys staring and she blushed even harder. Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, they headed back to the dorms.

Laying in her bed, she was trembling with anticipation. Her first day of classes started tomorrow.

Next Morning

After grabbing some fruit from the café, she headed to her first class, Intro to Business. She was five minutes early and found a spot in the second row. A minute before class started, she felt a presence rush in next to her. Looking to her left, she saw a boy with wild pink hair. He must have been running late to class she thought. He noticed her looking at him and gave her a feral grin "Hiya, I'm Natsu."


*Linguistics is the study of languages. In the manga, Levy spends a lot of time translating runes and languages, so I made this her major.

AN: Natsu made his appearance! Guess who the professor of the "Intro to Business" class is? Also I probably will be updating a new chapter almost every day. (I have summer holidays lol).
