Disclaimer: I do not own Fairy Tail or any of it's characters, Hiro Mashima does. I just own this story.

Here's the 2nd chapter everyone! This story got some attention after about 30 mins after it was published and it made me so happy! Thank you to everyone who favourite and followed it. And thank you a lot

FlyingDoll4 and x-clownsdontbounce-x for reviewing the story! It was really encouraging for me and I'm really glad that you liked the concept.

Oh, and FlyingDoll4, you had asked why I gave Aries's last name as Featherstone (in my excitement, I only answered part of the question, sorry!)

I feel that Aries is really soft-hearted and delicate, like a feather, the stone just adds 'the last name' feel to it. Also, a character in a tv show i don't remember the name of, had the same name from which I got the idea. :)

Now, enough of me blabbering, Enjoy the story!

Chapter 2:

A six-year old Aries walked out of the house holding both her Father and Mother's hand, smiling from ear-ear. They were going to her favorite picnic spot today, Yay! All of them got in the car, her parents on the front, she on the back. "Thank You Dad! And Mom! I love you guys!" With a big grin, she kissed both of them on their cheeks from the back-side, as her parents chuckled and her father started driving towards the spot. After a while, the weather got dark and Aries became worried. She questioned, "Is it going to rain, Dad? Then we will have to go inside the hut, but I love the outside." Her father answered, "It might rain, but don't worry, I don't think it will stay for long." Of course, she was reassured and so, happy. But all of a sudden, heavy rain started falling and there was almost no light. Thunder was roaring outside, one after another, and it was just scaring Aries a lot! Aries's mother shouted, "Look Out!" Out of nowhere, a tree fell right on top their car's front screen, breaking the glass as the car crashed right on to its bark, and Aries screamed and shut her eyes as she heard her parents scream, a thunder lightening and their car's crunching sound. It all happened so fast, as she hit her head on the back of her father's seat, everything seemed to have stopped. Tears were falling from her eyes, as she opened them and heard another thunder striking. She looked at the front, and gasped! "M-Mom? D-Dad?" Blood was spread all over her father and mother's bodies, along with shards of glasses. She screamed, as she shook their bodies, still crying, "MOM! DAD! Wake up, Please wake up, WAKE UP!"

"Wake up, please please wake up! Mom, Dad!"

"Aries! Aries! Wake up!" Juvia shouted as she saw Aries squirming and sweating as she slept on her bed.

'She's having the same nightmare again," Juvia understood. She shook Aries hard, shouting her name again. Aries sat up with a start, gasping for breathe. That horrible dream again! She saw Juvia's worried face infront of her, and she immediately hugged her and started crying on her shoulders. Juvia hugged her back, tightly and started soothing her back. "Shh, It's okay, it's m just a nightmare, everything's fine now," Juvia whispered, to calm her down. It was raining and thundering outside, the sounds of which caused her to dream of that night when her parents died.

Juvia remembered the first time she consoled Aries;

A six-year old Juvia sat at one corner of her bed in her room in the orphanage, the whole room dark as the sky outside had gone navy blue and Juvia had no wish to turn on the light. She was bullied again today, the other kids pushed her down and one of them pulled her hair saying she was weird and scary. She was depressed because of all these.

She had been enduring a lot since the past 1 year. She had been sad from the moment her father and mother started fighting constantly, her father even told her on her face, that she was a mistake, that she wasn't supposed to exist and sometimes, even beat her up. Then, of course, her father's two-timing was found out by her mom and she got divorced.

But just after 4 months, she came to know that her mother had cancer and in the next 6 months, she died. Juvia's mother, Terry Loxar, had run away from home to be with Juvia's father, Rafian, as Terry's family did not accept him. So, Juvia had no idea who her relatives were. The Social Services told her that her grand-parents most probably died and her mom's sister might be married. As a result, they couldn't find the Loxar family any longer. Finally, she was sent to the orphanage, Sunshine Village. After 1 whole year of suffering, she became quite unsocial and lonely. The other kids found her creepy and weird so they started bullying her. She also didn't have any room-mate as a result.

The room's door suddenly creaked open and entered a sister, along with a light pink-haired girl, who was trying to hide behind the sister. The sister pulled the girl in front of Juvia and smiled at her. Juvia just looked at the girl, a blank expression on her face. She noticed then, the bandages on the girl's hands and forehead. The sister said, "Juvia, this is Aries. She is new here and she is your room-mate. She is the same age as yours. Be good to her now. Okay?" And with that, the sister left. The girl, till now, was looking down at her feet, before she raised her head and looked at Juvia fearfully. Juvia still had no reaction. At first, she thought that now another person is there to annoy her even in her own room, but the moment she looked into the girl, Aries's eyes, she saw fear and realised that maybe the girl is scared of Juvia, not exactly mean. So, Juvia gave a smile, which was not that easy for her, considering she hadn't smiled for, maybe a year now. Then, a thunder stroke outside and all of a sudden, Aries's eyes grew big and she hugged Juvia, tightly.

At first Juvia, was startled and was about to push her off when she heard Aries sniffling, and realised that she was crying. Another thunder stroke and Aries started sobbing, and Juvia started soothing her back, saying, "Shh, it's okay.." . That was the first time Juvia, a person people actually found cold, comforted someone who she didn't even know. When the rain finally stopped, Aries came out o the hug and explained to Juvia about the incident which brought her there, still sniffling. "G-gomenesai, f-for doing that...all of a sudden," Aries said. "N-"Nah, it's okay, .. I..forgive you. Now, go to sleep," Juvia replied. the next few days, they spent time together, and Juvia opened up to her bit by bit. Some days later, Juvia realised that Aries's habit of saying sorry was increasing day by day and finally she found out that Aries was being bullied, for being clumsy and a nervous wreck when making new friends. When she saw a kid pulling her hair and teasing for it being pink and calling her a weirdo, Juvia's rage knew no bound. How dare they! She actually defended Aries and pushed that kid down. When they started saying stuffs about her, Aries, no matter how quietly she said it, everyone heard it clearly. "Juvia is nothing like what you're saying. She is a very good and nice person, unlike you, and she is not weird. That is the truth. So, don't say things about someone who you don't even know a thing about, stupid!" That was a huge insult for a six-year old arrogant bully, and a huge thing for another six-year old timid person to say. Juvia was touched by the Aries's words. she held her hand, gave a smile, and walked away. That was the starting of a deep friendship as they stayed beside each other and formed a sisterly-bond.

Mirajane was just setting up the table when she heard a shout coming from the bedroom. Alarmed, she quickly walked towards it and opened it slightly to peek in, and saw Juvia trying to console an Aries who seemed to have had a nightmare, and was crying on Juvia's shoulder. She was about to step in when someone held her shoulder. She turned her head to see Erza there, with a soft expression. She said in a low voice, "Don't. Let them be." Mirajane nodded, close the door silently, and walked towards the table with Erza behind her. She put the plates and called loudly, "Breakfast is ready!"

Aries pulled out the hug as she wiped her tears away. Juvia gave a smile as Aries said, "Thanks sis." "Breakfast is ready!" came a shout from Mira, and Juvia got up the bed, "Let's go," she said.

They walked into the kitchen and saw Erza and Mira pouring juices into their glasses. Erza looked up and asked, "Do you want some?" Aries an Juvia nodded, "Yes, please. Thanks" as Erza poured them intwo more glasses. Lucy and Levy walked in that moment, looking as refreshed as ever. "The garden outside is glorious! Levy and I walked around it the whole morning!" Lucy said, stretching her arms, giving a wide smile. Levy smiled as well, "The place is so big and has almost every kind of plants and flowers known to mankind! It's amazing, and so colourful!"

"Then we surely have to check it out sometimes," said Mira, smiling as well, before taking a sip of her juice.

They all agreed and started eating breakfast, not knowing just how much drama this school is going to give them in their lives.

"Yeah mom, I've reached the dorms and I'm going to leave for school in a few minutes. Yeah, take care, goodbye."

Jellal Fernandes kept the phone in his pocket and sighed. His mother would never cease to worry. He turned around as he heard a groan from behind and smiled as he said, "Rise and shine, fellow room-mate! It's 7:50 am, just so you know."

"Why'd you open up the curtains so early in the morni- wait, wha-aah!"

BAM! Natsu Dragneel fell on his face on the ground in an attempt to leap from the bed, but forgetting to remove his blankets. Jellal cracked up at this and Gajeel Redfox joined in as he entered the room. "O-ouch," said Natsu while getting up and rubing his cheeks. "The moron will ever learn," said Gajeel with a mocking smile. "Hey, who are you calling a moron, you half-wit?!" shouted Natsu, as he shot daggers with his eyes at Gajeel. Gajeel was about to open his mouth when Jellal spoke up, standing between the two. "Enough, you two. Natsu, you got to reach the school in 9 mins, get ready fast. Gajeel, let's go."

Natsu ran off to the washroom while Gajeel grunted at his back and turned around to follow Jellal walking out the door.

"You gonna meet up with 'em or what?" asked Gajeel as they walked out of the building.

Jellal replied, "Nah, those two are most probably hanging out with Lyon. That guy irritates the hell outta me."

Gajeel just nodded at that and silence fell over the two.

Okay, not as interesting as I promised it would be but I just felt the need to get their pasts introduced. But I also introduced some of the guys! I mean, honestly, I wasn't planning on adding the guys but thought it would be a little interesting. Now, I promise the main story is going to start from chapter 3, which I already have ready but stalling to update cause I don't have chapter 4 ready and I'm going for a vacation. I don't think I'll have the energy to write a chapter as soon as I come back, so sorry! Please be patient with it cause there are like, 12 main characters to write about so it would be a little slow considering I have to balance it all up. Don't forget to review and fav/follow it!
