Old Friend, New Feelings.
It's a bright sunny day here in Magnolia. The sun is shining, the breeze has the scent of freshly baked bread, and the people are socializing with each other as usually. You can hear the seagulls flocking around the pier while the ships are docking. And you can see the children playing at the park while their mothers are watching. It's just a day like any other day here in Magnolia, peaceful, quit, and beautiful.
And now that we have already viewed Magnolia from a broader scale, we turn to the apartment of a local there. The apartment that we will be viewing is owned by a girl named Lucy Heartfilia. Lucy Heartfilia is a guild member of Fairy Tail, which is a guild in Magnolia.
At Fairy Tail, she is teamed up with Natsu Dragneel, Gray Fullbuster, Erza Scarlet, Wendy Marvell, and her two feline friends Happy and Carla. They own the title of, 'Most Powerful Team,' in Fairy Tail. But when she's not at the guild she's living a modern life, paying rent, dealing with boys, and shopping.
But now she has to deal with a stranger calling her Wrinry.
Lucy comes out of the bathroom with a pink towel warped around her hair and body. The water drips down from her damp body to the floor making it wet and slick.
"Ahhh, that was a nice bathe," she says calmly.
She walks to the dresser across the room and opens it. She looks at her clothes and says, "I should get some new clothes today."
She then chooses her clothes, walks into the bathroom and closes the door.
She emerges from the bathroom a few minutes later fully dressed, but with a new hair style. Instead of tying it to the side, she decided to do it in a ponytail.
She walks downstairs and opens the door.
The light floods into her apartment building and the bright shine shines on her face.
She smiles, and steps out the door and closes it.
Her stomach growls, loud enough for a couple passing by to hear.
Embarrassed, she covers her stomach and chuckles at the couple," I need some food…"
"I NEED SOME FOOD," Edward shouts out in the middle of a bustling crowd while making a grumpy face.
The people around him stare in silence.
Edward then looks around and says," Excuse me, hehehe."
The crowd then resumes its previous bustling.
A woman with a child confronts Edward, she says," You seem to be in need for food."
"Do you have food?!" Edward says as his, saliva drips from his mouth
The woman laughs and says," OH my, aren't you an enthusiastic one."
"Oh, I'm sorry mam' it's just that I haven't eaten for a while now."
"It's quite alright, I'm not here to give you food though I'm just going to direct you to a cake shop just east of here." she says while pointing to that direction.
"Thank you lady, you're a life saver." Edward says as he hastily shakes her hand.
Edward then takes off in the direction the women pointed.
"The youth these days, have such energy." she said while smiling.
Lucy's cake and coffee was given to her by a waitress.
"Thank you very much." says Lucy as she grins at the waitress.
"No it's my pleasure." The waitress replies back.
"Now time to dig in." Lucy says while cutting into the beautifully designed cake with the silver fork.
"FOOOOOOODDDDDDD!" cried out Edward as he sprints pass the cake shop.
Edward stops sprinting, and then back tracks to the cake shop.
When he opens the door, the waitress greets him.
She shows him to a seat not far from Lucy.
"Hmmm, everything looks so good here." Edward says while staring at the menu.
"Oh its fine take as much time as you need." the waitress says conjugally.
The doorbell rings, "I'll leave you be just call me when you want to place an order sir," the waitress says then walks away to tend to the new customer.
"Hmm, maybe the carrot cake topped off with some coconut shavings, or maybe the banana parfe and some coffee, So many choices…" he thought while looking at the menu.
"I think I'll order coffee first," he said to himself.
"Excuse me miss," he said while looking at the waitresses' direction.
"A cup of coffee for now miss," he said while the waitress wrote it down.
"Alrighty, it'll be out in a second." she said to him.
She turned then walked to the kitchen.
Edward looked at the décor, it was a nice cozy shop with the scent of coffee in the air.
He turned to the counter and saw Lucy eating her cake.
Edward got up from the chair and had a surprised face.
He walked up behind Lucy and grabbed her by the shoulder and said, " Wrinry is that you?! How on Earth did you get here?! I was wondering what-"
"YOU PERVERT, SICKO, DISGUSTING PERSON! YOU DON'T GRAB A LADY BY HER SHOULDER AND SWEET TALK HER!" Lucy cried out at Edward when he grabbed her shoulder. She then stands up and beats on Edward.
Everyone in the coffee shop looked at the two.
"WRINRY WAIT, STOP I WAS JUST WONDERING HOW YOU GOT HERE!" Edward shouted as Lucy pounded Edward relentlessly.
"Wait-", Lucy said," Who's Wrinry?"
Edward looks up at Lucy's face and says," Oh…sorry miss, I thought for a second there you were my friend."
He gets up and dusts his red coat off.
"But-", Lucy said trying to reach out to Edward
"Oh I'm fine don't worry about me," he says while putting his hand up, signifying that it is alright," It was my fault for touching you."
He then puts his hands in his coat and walks out the shop.
The coffee shop finally settles to its regular tone.
The waitress with Edward's coffee asked," Did something happen miss?"
"Oh nothing did it was just an accident that's all."
Lucy sits back down at the counter top.
"Excuse me miss," says the waitress.
"That young man, the young man you were arguing with this is his coffee, and I have to ask-"she was cut off by Lucy
"Don't worry mam' I'll pay for it." Lucy said
"Alright I'll ring it on your tab now." the waitress said as she places the coffee cup on the counter by her.
Lucy looks at the coffee cup Edward had ordered," I wonder what his name was….In fact I haven't seen him around Magnolia before. If anything I should go apologize to him."
Edward walks to East Park, and sits himself at an open bench
"I just realized that I'm here all alone, no Al, no Wrinry, not even Colonel Mustang. Here all by myself….Damn now I kinda know how Al felt hehehe…." He takes his hands out of his pockets," Now that I think of it I really miss Wrinry…. her eyes…. the way her hair was while fixing my automail….. her scent… and especially the way she used to smile at me….I miss that most of all."
Edward looks around to see if anyone was around, he then curls up in to a ball on the bench.
"I miss you Wrinry…" he says as he silently cries.
"Hey, you there." says Lucy as she slowly approaches Edward.
Edward looks up and wipes his tears quickly
"Oh your that girl from the cake shop, what do you need?" asked Edward plainly
"I came here to give you this." she hands him the coffee in a to-go cup.
"Thanks, it's still warm." Edward takes the coffee cup while smiling at Lucy.
Lucy blushes," I don't mean to be rude but do you mind if I sit down?"
"Yeh sure go ahead." Edward says while scooting to the left.
"You're not from Magnolia are you?" Lucy questioned.
"Oh that's the town's name." Edward says.
"You are definitely not from Magnolia." Lucy says assured then laughs.
"Yeh I'm not, I'm from a small town called Resembool, I was born there and lived with my mother, father, and little brother Alphonse." Edward says after he takes a sip from his coffee cup.
"Then who's Wrinry?" Lucy asked out of curiosity.
"Wrinry…..Wrinry's a good friend…..a friend I care about" he says as he thinks about his life in Amerstris.
"Oh….I'm sorry I asked."
"No, it's fine but I got a question for you?" Edward says while turning to Lucy," What's your name?"
"That's right, I haven't given you my name," she says surprised," it's Lucy"
"Well Lucy, my name's Edward, Edward Elric."
"It was nice meeting you Edward, but I have to get back to my guild." Lucy says while waving 'goodbye' to Edward.
"It was nice talking to you too Lucy." Edward says grinning at Lucy.
Lucy starts walking towards Fairy Tail while Edward sits at the park bench.
Later on that evening, when the sun was coming down from its place and setting on the horizon Lucy revisits the park she had spoken to Edward at.
She takes in the air and the scenery, she looks at the great big tree in the center of the park, and she looks at the lamps lite so that the darkness of night doesn't shroud the entire park in darkness.
She looks at the park bench she had the conversation with Edward at and sees Edward there snoring very loudly.
She runs to Edward and tells him to walk up.
Edward wakes up in a funk," What's going on Lucy?"
"Why are you sleeping on the park bench Edward? Don't you have an apartment or relatives' you can stay at?" Lucy says confused.
Edward grins a very goofy grin at Lucy.
"I don't have any money."
Lucy stands there and stares at Edward speechless.
Lucy then speaks words which rumble the ground beneath them.
"YOU'RE SAYING YOU DON'T HAVE MONEY?!" Lucy shouts at Edward.
"What?" Edward says shrugging his shoulders.
"EARLY THIS MORNING, DIDN'T YOU GO TO THE CAKE SHOP TO EAT?!" she said while pointing at Edward.
"And?" Edward answers in a carefree tone.
"YOU NEEDED MONEY FOR FOOD YOU IDIOT!"
Edward gets up from the park bench," Okay now your pissing me off."
"IT'S THE FIRST THING YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT BEFORE EATING, NO WAIT BEFORE ANYTHING!" Lucy screams
"HEY I WAS HUNGRY I COULD'VE EATEN ANYTHING!" Edward exclaims.
"OH YEH? HOW 'BOUT YOU EAT MY FIST!" Lucy threatens Edward.
"WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT?" Edward says approving Lucy's threat.
An old couple at the park passes by Edward and Lucy and the old lady said," Sweety don't you remember how we used to fight like that?"
"Oh yes I remember, you were always so headstrong dear." The old man said to his wife.
The old couple continues to speak of their youth while walking towards the end of the park.
Lucy and Edward look at each other and blush.
Edward turns to the opposite direction of Lucy and crosses his arms
Lucy looks down and says," You can stay at my place for the night Edward!"
Edward's face turns bright red and Lucy's face looks as if it were to explode any second
"Fine, if you offer then I must accept it because I don't want to be rude." Edward says nervously
"Fine then follow me." Lucy says while trying to avoid eye contact with Edward.
Lucy and Edward proceed to Lucy's apartment building.
