Hey guys. Now, I made a huge rookie mistake and let myself get too far ahead in the story, so, quick backtrack. This is a flashback on how Lucy came to be in Fairy Tail. Now, as I said a couple of things may change to fit the story, and this is one of them. Sorry about my mess! This will go in between chapters 1 and 2, so therefore, this is chapter 2 and the last one is chapter 3. Anyway, I'll continue the story soon. – KobblersterTheGr8

A year earlier…

"So I finally made it. This is the famous Fairy Tail." A blonde teenager mumbled to herself as she tightened her grip on her suitcase. "Ok, here we go". She went a couple of steps before someone hit her and fell next to her. "Hey, watch where you're going buddy! I— ". She began as she looked at the boy lying next to her. A blush fell over her face as she studied the boy more closely and noticed that he was shirtless. He had raven-like hair, a mark on the left side of his chest and an iron sword necklace around his neck.

"Sorry about that" Apologized the raven-haired boy as he got up and held out a hand. "I'm Grey by the way. Grey Fullbuster. I'm Fairy Tail's resident ice-make mage."

The blonde stared at him, put out her hand, and was hefted up. "I'm Lucy Heartfilia" she said when she got to her feet. "Nice to meet you Grey."

"Nice to meet you too Lucy." He said as they looked at their interlocked hands, blushed and pulled away. "So, um, I haven't seen you around before, are you here to join Fairy Tail?"

"Yes" She said as they walked into the guild hall. "I've always wanted to join you see." They walked up to the master's office and Grey stopped.

"Ahh, ok, the master is in here." Grey knocked at the door and a voice said "Come in"

"Hello Grey, I see you still have your habits, and who is this lovely lady?" Said the master. Grey looked down his body and Lucy look at him. He was completely nude bar his underwear. "Where did my clothes go?!" He exclaimed as he ran off to find his clothes.

Lucy giggled and looked at the master for the first time. He was a small old man, who wore a stern face, but yet, it was quite inviting. "So, let me guess. You want to join my guild right?" Lucy nodded and the master did too. "Ok, Let me introduce myself. I am master Makarov.

"Hello master, I'm Lucy Heartfilia"

"Ok Lucy how old are you?"

"I'm 12"

"Where you like your guild mark, and in what colour?" He smiled as he picked up a stamp.

"Pink please, and on my right hand"

"Alright. Now that that's done I say we got get some nice hot—"

"Hey Gramps!" Shouted a voice from the bar. "Look what I found!"

"Oh, Natsu, what is it?" Asked the master as he exited the office with Lucy in hot pursuit.

"It's a dragon egg!"

"Is it now?"

"Yep, look on the side, can't you see the markings? They look like dragon's claws!"

"Oh yes you're right. I do see those marks, but are you sure that they're dragon markings?"

"I just do, it's a gut feeling! I'm gonna hatch this egg!"

"Ok, but do you know how to?"

"Well… no… but… ummm" Stammered the pink-haired boy

"I can help you Natsu" Called a quiet feminine voice

"Lisanna, can you?" responded Natsu. Lisanna nodded. "With my animal takeover it should be easy!"

"Well ok. Let's go!" Cried Natsu as he grabbed Lisanna's hand and dragged her out the guild. The guild members smiled.

"Young love" one said

"I agree" another said.

The master turned on Lucy. "Okay child, now I'll get Grey to introduce you to everyone. I've got a lot of things to catch up on." Lucy nodded as Grey came over. He took her around and introduced her to everyone.

"I'm gonna like it here." She thought fondly.

A few months later the egg hatched into the most adorable little flying blue cat ever, to whom Natsu named Happy. Then later on, the Strauss siblings went on an S-class quest, and nothing was ever the same.
