I don't think I was too late updating, but, if you think I was, I have a perfectly good excuse. I was lazy.
By the way, In case you were wondering why I keep switching the name from Fairy Tail to Fairy Tale, it's not a mistake. I write it like that because Lucy's just oblivious and thinks Fairy Tail is spelt Fairy Tale.
Disclaimer- I do not own Fairy Tail, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, or anything else I reference.
Here I stood,(Against my will, if l may I add.) in the room I was allegedly going to spend the next 2 years and half years of my high school life in. It was nothing to special. 2 long wooden desks stood side-by-side in the middle of the room. At the end of one, an old box computer was placed. There was a chalkboard on the wall. Although it had nothing written on it.
Okay, but enough examining my surroundings. I had freedom to fight for.
I inhaled a semi-large breathe preparing to go on a ranting spree.
"You can't keep me here against my will! I could always wash off the mark and never show up to your weird club!" I shouted at the leader, who I just learned a few moments ago was named Emiko.
Emiko was a little shorter than me. But with her thin body and frail, non-existent muscles, she appeared smaller. She adorned unusual slightly curly rainbow coloured hair. Judging by her brown eyebrows, it was dyed that colour though. Her eyes were silver and sparkled with mischief. All in all, she looked just as weird as she acted.
"Number 1, the Fairy Tail marks, as far as your concerned, are permanent. Number 2, I can always get Natsu to capture you again." The girl mentioned prior replied calmly with a smirk.
"I could always tell the principle!"
"Like he cares enough about a student having troubles with a club."
"Erm... Well, then I'll tell the student council president!"
"Sorry to break it to ya, but that won't work either as you'll see in a few moments. Speaking of which, the other members should be here soon." Emiko remarked, the smirk never faltering for a second in the (One-sided) argument.
Oh great, there were more nutjobs... This means if I run, Emiko will have an entire army hot on my trail!
~In Lucy's mind theater~
A panting Lucy ran through the narrow, dark hallway filled with confusing twists and turns. She stopped for a moment to catch her breath only to be alerted by the sound of multiple sets of feet heading in her direction. She gazed behind herself for a split second before taking off again. Due to the lack of energy and focus, Lucy missed a step and took a tumble. She felt herself being harshly picked up. She looked up and saw that she was picked up by a man wearing a set of basic Armour over a military-like uniform.
Looking over his shoulder, she gaped. There were at least 50 clones of the soldier lifting her. 4 of which were holding a throne. On the throne sat a cackling Emiko.
Lucy slowly closed her eye's, awaiting the punishment that was soon to be given for running away from Emiko Hotarou.
~Back to reality~
"Please don't hurt me!" The out-of-touch blonde wailed. Quickly blinking back into reality, Lucy checked her surroundings hoping no-one noticed.
But, of course, her prays weren't answered. Emiko and Natsu stared at Lucy like she just grew another head. There was no sudden movements. Only silence filled the room.
'Blink'
'Blink'
"Pfftt..."
The duo failed to hide their amusement as they burst into laughter. The flustered blonde turned her head to the side, avoiding their mocking gaze.
After a few moments of (agonizing) laughing...
"Would you two put a sock in it! It wasn't even that funny!"
The laughter eventually subsided much to Lucy's relief. When could she leave again?
Natsu's P.O.V
This Lucy chic was kinda annoying. Pretty, but annoying. It was like she had a weird obsession with being normal or something. I wonder if she was one of those kids who had 8th grade syndrome, went to a far away high school, and now had an obsession with not appearing out of the ordinary in any way?
I nearly grinned at the thought of slightly younger Luce parading around in a cape calling herself 'The Shadow Empress', or some shit.
My precious thoughts were interrupted by the worst sound ever. Ice queens voice.
"Oi, Flamebrain, whats with the face? You look stupider than usual."
"Oh yeah? Well whats with the stupid look on your face? Oh wait, my mistake, that's it's natural look." I responded to the troll, suppressing the urge to punch him in the (stupid) face.
"You wanna go Pinky?!"
"Hell yeah!"
Just as we were getting into our fighting positions, I felt a terrible pain in the side of my head. Oh crap, we forgot about her...
Lucy's P.O.V
Honestly... I couldn't say I never expected something like this to happen. I did just step into hell, didn't I?
For those of you that are a tad confused, I'll try to explain the scenario from an outsiders perspective.
A few minutes ago, A (surprisingly) normal looking (Possible even cool looking?) guy with raven hair walks in and starts insulting Natsu. (Who really did have a stupid look on his face.) A fight begins to ensue between the duo. But before any hits were thrown, A red blur storms in. In a single blink of the human eye, the two fighting males were thrown across the club room. They landed in a heap of groans and complains, a comedically large bumb garnished on the side of their heads.
What was I doing this entire ordeal? You ask. Well, I was (maturely.) standing there gaping like a flipping fish out of water. I must have looked so impressive... *Sarcasm*
I immediately stopped when my attention was drawn towards Emiko.
"Great! The other members are here! Now we can start with a proper introduction towards the new member." Emiko spoke as if nothing just happened.
The fairy tale members lined up side-by-side in front of me.
"Heartfilia, this is Gray Fullbuster. He's a stripper." Emiko states as she pointed towards the raven haired boy from before. I gawked at her nonchalant statment of him being a stripper.
The boy introduced himself with a simple " 'sup" after muttering something about not being a stripper.
"And then here we have Natsu Dragneel. But you already knew that." She continued with onward with her introduction.
"Nice to meet 'cha, Luce!" The pinkette voiced with a wide grin plastered on his face.
"And finally, we have Erza Scarlet." Emiko finished gesturing toward a red-headed girl who must've been the red blur from earlier.
Wait! Erza Scarlet, as in the Erza Scarlet! She was the infamously strict student council president everybody talked about! Just what kind of mad brigade did Emiko create...
"Pleased to meet you, Lucy Heartfilia." The president spoke. It was easy to tell by her actions and voice, she did everything confidently with no regret or guilt.
I managed to utter a pitiful
"You too..."
Her presence could make Chuck Norris feel small. I felt a pair of arms wrap around me as Emiko glomped me from behind.
"Everyone, this is the big breasted lady I was talking about! She'll be joining us from today onward!" I heard Emiko exclaim fairly loudly considering she spoke right next to my ear...
"Why does that have to be my identification..." I uttered only to go unheard.
I heard the eccentric group chant something along the lines of "Welcome to Fairy Tale!" but all I could hear was 'Welcome to Hell!'
Time ticked by slowly. But I made it. As each minute passed, I could feel my energy deplete. But I survived. I was safe now. Free to relax, free to live my own life. I was a survivor and this was my sanctum. Am I being a little too Melodramatic here? I mean, all I did was survive a club for 2 hours. Even if it was the longest 2 hours of my life...
In case you're wondering what happened, I'll tell ya. We didn't really do anything note-worthy. I still have no idea what the club's about. As far as I'm concerned, Its just one of those clubs in slice-of-life manga that don't really do anything.
But none of that mattered now. Because I was home. A time of relaxation.
I caught myself humming one of those god-forsaken tunes that get stuck in your head as I stepped out of my nightly shower (Yes, I was one of those people.) I wrapped a fuzzy white towel around my well endowed body since I neglected to bring clothes into the bathroom. I wasn't to concerned because I live alone though. I stepped out of the bathroom to my bedroom to dress into my pajamas's.
What I was not expecting was to see Natsu in my bedroom! What the hell! How did he even get in!
"What the hell are you doing here!" I screeched at the intruder. I quickly threw the nearest object at my disposal at him. (Which happened to be a hard covered journal.)
"Oww! I just came here to visit you. Why else would I be here?" Natsu whined, rubbing his now sore head.
"Well I don't know. Although usually, a guest, a boy no less, doesn't barge into a girl's house while they're showering!" I shouted at the pink-haired intruder.
Natsu, finally noticing I was in nothing but a towel, stared down below my face with a small, growing blush. Thus, prompting me to throw another thing at him. (This time it was a Zekua Melon novel.)
"Owww! Could you stop doing that?!" Natsu pleaded.
"How did you even get in here?" The man in question rose an arm and pointed to the open window. Something tells me I'm better off not knowing...
"Whatever... could you just get out so I can change?" I huffed. Almost as soon as I said that, Natsu scrambled off and out of my room.
Moments later...
I left my bedroom to see if Natsu was still in my apartment. Short answer; he was.
He was currently cleaning out my fridge with his appetite. I stood there glaring daggers at him until he eventually noticed. He gulped at muttered something along the lines of 'Second Erza'.
"So Natsu, why'd you come to visit me anyway." I muttered bitterly, still a little irked by my current lack of food.
"I dunno, I guess I was just bored so I came to visit you. You're apart of Fairy Tail now, so you should probably get used to people intruding your house." Natsu replied.
That's not really something somebody should have to get used to...
I sighed. " Speaking of Fairy Tale, what's the purpose of that club even?" I questioned.
"I thought you knew... Anyway, Fairy Tail's goal is to find dragons, wizards, and all of that fun stuff." Natsu spoke.
I couldn't stop myself. I burst out laughing at the joke.
"Dragons? Wizards? You must be kidding, right?" I managed to speak in my laughing fit. I stopped my hysteric giggling when I saw Natsu's frown.
"You're serious?" I questioned disbelievingly, only to receive a curt nod from Natsu.
"But... they don't exist. Its a lost cause." I said. This statement caused Natsu to get irritated.
"Tch... whatever..." Natsu huffed and stalked out of her apartment.
Did I seriously make him that upset with that comment? Hmp... whatever, they're all crazy anyway. And with that thought in mind, I begrudgingly went to bed.
That's the end of that chapter! I think I made Lucy too much of a bitch... Stay tuned 'till next time!
