I do not own Fairy Tail, this honor belongs to Mr. Hiro Mashima!
*bows respectfully* but thank you for taking time to read my fanfiction! (^.^)
Every day is a fairytale. The ordinary can become extraordinary if your heart and mind is open to the possibilities that every day brings.
LUCY'S POV:
"I don't know when it all started really, but then again maybe it had started way back when we first met." I start my story, smiling down at my worn out fantasy book.
*flashback*
I look up at the imposing and elegant school of Love and Lucky. Although the name might seem whimsical the school system and hierarchy was far from it or so it seemed. LUCKY being that almost all of the students came from rich and influential families. From the descendants of kings down to the heirs and heiress of companies that are known worldwide. LOVE from the fact that most of the students pair up with the persons who could most aid their already strong corporations into something stronger and more influential.
The school grounds were impeccable. The hedges around the pathways were all precisely trimmed and the lawns were mowed perfectly. The trees were impressive and all situated in such a well formulated way, as if they were soldiers lined up by some commanding tactician. This is the school where my father and mother met and fell in love.
I sighed and remained outside the school gates. It's a good thing my father and I, are in a far better understanding of each other now. I guess, near bankruptcy and near death situations could do that to people. I breathe out and saw how created a fog due to the cold air. I smiled wryly at the school one more time and walked on. Now, how to break to my father that there was no way I was entering such a school.
Looking back, I saw some familiar faces. Even though the Heartfilia Konzern had nearly fell to the point where some of the kids I grown up with were embarrassed to be seen greeting me. Although, father had managed to put us back up again more powerful than ever so now they all want to be close and friendly with me again.
Spreading my legs wide, I inhaled and shouted "Like heck do I need something as shallow as that!" Smiling as I heard the whispers behind me I sprinted out on a run toward a park I had seen along the way to the school.
Gasping, I arrived at the park and collapse on a bench. Looking up I saw girls meeting up with squeals and hugs. Couples holding hands and walking in a way that made me think there was a whole background of roses and lights all around them. Shaking my head at my silly imagination I quickly opened my Heart Kreuz bag and took out the fliers, brochures and printouts of schools in Magnolia City. As always my eyes light up on the FairyTail High school brochure, such a fantastic sounding school. Just then my phone starts vibrating and lighting up, sighing I took out my phone and answered "Gaston?"
"Hime-sama! Where are you?" A frantic voice screeches over the phone loud enough to cause people to stop and gawk.
Face bright red with embarrassment I bowed my head low and answered in a placating tone "Relax, Gaston. I'm just sitting on a bench plucking up my courage to check out a school I have always been curious about." Just as the words slipped out of my mouth, I realized that I truly did want to go to FairyTail High. "Actually, I'm already on my way there. So I'll see you at Fairy Tail High!"
I quickly closed my phone as Gaston once again started to scream. Smiling I ran full speed ahead.
30 minutes later…
"Although, I said I wanted to find that school just where the heck am I?" I shouted out, somehow I had managed to get lost. Tears forming in my eyes and sat down on another bench in another park somewhere that I had no idea I was in. Maybe I took one bus ride too many? I opened my bag and shuffled the things in place looking for the Fairy Tail High brochure when all of a sudden a strong gust of wind suddenly made the glossy paper fly out of my grasp together with the other papers from my bag. But my eyes were on the one with the enchanting symbol of Fairy Tail. Ignoring, the other paper flying all over the place I quickly ran after the most important one.
"I have to get that paper no matter what!" Eyes glued to the paper I ran after it with single minded purpose and determination completely unaware of the surprised faces of the other people in the park. Sides aching with excursion I ran full speed and leaping every now and then. I saw that the paper was heading straight at the fountain in the middle of the somewhat crowded park. "No! no no no!" I muttered to myself as I ran for it. I jump up to the ledge and made a final jump for the prized item. "I won't give up! I'll definitely find Fairy Tail High!" I shouted to the wind. As I reach with all my might, I felt victory very close at hand the paper was within my reach and I felt I was floating in air. When all of a sudden another evil gust of wind appeared and blew the paper away. As if in slow motion I felt myself falling straight down to the fountain. I wouldn't have minded falling if I had that brochure in my hands.
Eyes squeezed tight I waited for the inevitable. When all of a sudden I felt warm strong hands take a hold of my shoulders and pulling me back. Eyes wide with surprise and hair blowing in the wind I fell back into something warm and hard. I look up to see warm brown eyes, a face smiling brightly down on me with a shockingly pink mane of hair on top. The teenage boy smiled down at me with a bit of fang showing and said "Just now did you just say you'll definitely get into Fairy Tail High?"
Face once again flushed red with embarrassment all I could do was nod and move away from the smiling teen. Chuckling, he stood up brushing the dirt from his baggy camouflage pants and sleeveless black shirt. He stood over me almost completely blocking out the bright afternoon sun. He held his hands out to me, who was still on the ground and said, "Then I'll take you there." Eyes wide with surprise and happiness I took grasped back the boys hand.
Pulling me up he smiled wide and said, "By the way, I'm Natsu. Natsu Dragneel." Now smiling I answered, "I'm Lucy. Lucy Heartfilia, nice to meet you and thanks!"
*flashback ends*
I smiled up at the surprised faces of Erza, Wendy and Levy. Blushing, I looked down and gripped my hands together, "I suppose I shouldn't have just suddenly accepted the hand of some random stranger who helped me. But there was just something about him that made me trust him instantly."
Chuckling, Erza patted my hand and said comfortingly, "We know, don't worry we understand." Smiling, Erza squeezed my hand. The four of us laughed softly together.
Grinning, Levy said "Your story sounds something right off a fairytale Lucy. A sudden gust of wind leads the princess to her prince or something like that."
Nodding enthusiastically, Wendy added "It's like the myth of the red string of fate."
I smiled sadly at them, "Except I'm not the one fated for him." I clenched my hands on top of my book and knew that my friend's smiles had disappeared. "But even so. I've made up my mind." I looked up once more, more serious than before. "I've made up my mind. The first chance I get when the time is right I'll tell him how I feel. Definitely, this year!"
I gave my utmost trust to Auto spell and check. I hope you loved this chapter, I wrote it straight out the top of my head. Tell me what you think especially if there is something that confused you. (^.^)
