Chapter 1 : Welcome to the team

« I really don't know what to do today. I'm so bored … Should I brush my hair ? It was a big mess this morning. »

And so, Lucy went to the bathroom and looked at her reflect. Not only her hair was mess. She was despair itself, she looked like she hadn't been eating in days.

So she took a bath and washed her hair. She made herself look a little more healthy.

Then, she went back to her room and turned on her computer.

She entered the link of her newfound forum, where she was writing little stories and poems.

There, she saw an ancient user named « FireBall ». She talked to him once, the first time she loged on the chatbox. He used to write beautiful stories about dragons and great battles.

Hearty – Hey Fire man.

FireBall – Yosh. And how do you know I'm really a man ?

Hearty – Not sure. But on your profile page, it's what we can see.

FireBall - … You got me there, miss.

Hearty – I can ask you the same question. Am I a real girl ?

FireBall – I don't really know. But when I read your texts, I can sense it's a girl pen who wrote it.

Hearty – Oh … You actually read my texts ?

FireBall – Well yeah. You're new, and I like your style ! Especially this one shot where you talk about a teen with her family problems and her sadness … Well, it's kind of depressing but cool.

Hearty – Okay … Thanks by the way.

FireBall – No « thanks » here Hearty. I'm on this forum to write, to read, and to say what I think. It's just … normal.

Hearty – You may be right … Sorry.

FireBall – Don't be sorry. Oh, forgot to ask, would you like to join our Skype group ? We talk and laugh a lot on it. You should have fun.

Lucy seemed confuse. It was like he knew she needed help.

At first, she didn't want to accept. Because of her loneliness and all. But on a second thought, she decided it was better to force herself. Just a little bit.

Hearty – Okay. Thank you. I'll send you my username in private.

FireBall – No prob ! See ya there.

Hearty – Yes :)

The guy loged out. Soon after, a little sound informed her she received a Skype invitation. She cheked it : A guy named Natsu wanted to add her.

« Natsu ? What a strange name … But anyway I'll check if he actually is FireBall. »

Lucy - Hey there. Are you the fire man I know ?

Natsu – If you're the Hearty I talk to … Well yes I am.

So she accepted the invitation.

Natsu – Lucy, right ? I like your name. Is that the real one ?

Lucy – Yes. And Natsu … Not common. It's yours ?

Natsu – Yep. Not common but my name since I was born.

Lucy – Hehe. Well, will you add me to the group ?

Natsu – Already done.

The blondie looked left. Indeed, her screen was showing a new contact, called « The little writers ». Same name as the forum.

She clicked on it and sent a « hello ». Immediately after, she received a call from the group.

She hesitated for a long time and accepted it. But at first, she couldn't say a word.

She began to hear lots of voices, all unknown. She was lost in this crowd of new people, and she acted a little shy for a few minutes.

But then, a male voice, louder than the others, caught her attention.

- Hey Hearty ! Or … I mean Lucy !

Even if she didn't know this high, strange voice, she realized immediately it was FireBall who was talking. Or, more precisely, Natsu.

So with a little voice, she answered :

- He … Hey everyone ! It's a pleasure to be here.

All of the members started responding at the same time, and Lucy couldn't understand a single word. She laughed so hard hearing these people trying to talk louder than the others.

Suddenly, she stopped. She realized a very important thing : For the first time since a few months, she laughed. With a real smile. Not a fake one as always.

So her happiness was about to make her heart explode. It was so good to be in this group. And all of that because of the one and only FireBall.
