I'm so excited! I've gotten many emails about people adding me to their lists and about the reviews, and it just makes my day! I just want to thank you all for supporting me and my stories and I hope that you continue to enjoy the stories that I continue to write. I'm sorry for breaking my promise about updating one or two weeks later... I had to write and edit a 15 page essay and some idiot stole my laptop when I went to go help someone out in the library, so I had to redo that dreadful essay. Note to self; don't leave your computer out in the open with LOTS of people around you. I also recently am having to get over rejection... My head! Who knew that he had a girlfriend? I REALLY liked him too... Oh well. Who needs romance anyways? Me... (UPDATE: THIS CHAPTER WAS RE-UPLOADED BECAUSE I NOTICED A FEW MISTAKES.)
*Cries in the corner*
Maybe I'll write a one shot about this... Be on the look out for that okay? I can't wait to pour out my feelings... Poor computer.
Enough about my life. Here's the story!
Whoops! I almost forgot to add this. Well, I forgot in Chapter One... Oh well... I do not own Fairy Tail, clearly because my writing style is different, but I will try my best to match Mashima's tone, although I doubt it because he's amazing.
Enjoy!
Real quick, I want to reply to your reviews. If you do not want me to mention you, please say so.

Chapter 2: The Encounter
The world peaceful as it came to its doom; at least in Japan, that is. It was unexpected (to everyone else) and it happened when people were busy visiting dreamland, without the thought of the end of the world. Peacefully, the towns, trees, and everyone and everything else burned, with no one to stop it. It all happened so fast. With one swift motion, the Earth died. Soon to be Mars, where other people lived and so on. Is this the end? *Chuckle* No, this is just the beginning.

A few centuries later, a new "Sun" was born, as well as Magnolia, the home of the mythical. Werewolves, vampires, nymphs, fairies, mermaid, and many more. Did they live in harmony you ask? No, not quite. History was repeating itself. Werewolves, vampires, goblin, and other "hostile" creatures were deemed "monsters" and were exiled to the... well... no one knows for sure. They all just left, without saying anything.

"A long time ago, there used to be a planet called "Earth".
Lucy yawned as she observed the fish struggling to move its fins. The same old Ee-rth or whatever lesson. Same old, same old. It reminded her of the old days when her mother taught her how to properly swim without struggling to move a few inches.
"You need to use full strokes. Try waving your fins up and down slowly, and then you'll be able to move farther." She said as she demonstrated it slowly. "That's it. Just like that. You're getting the hang of it!" She remembered her mother's warm smile, faintly, but she still remembered it. The old days. That is, until she disappeared. Without any warning. In an accident.
"As a review, who can tell me what the beings who lived on "Earth" were called?" The head mermaid asked. "Anybody?" Nobody raised their hand. "Hmm... how about... Lucy?"
No response.
"Lucy?"
"Ah! Huh? Y-yes?" Lucy stuttered, as heat rose to her cheeks. She tucked her long blonde hair behind her ear, and rearranged her fuchsia pink tail in a more "proper" way.
"The beings on the planet "Earth" were called...?"
"Hemans." She answered semi-confidently.
"Humans, you mean. I encourage you to pay attention in my class. If you want to day-dream, at least get the question right."
The class snickered. Lucy blushed and stared at her tail. She didn't mind, for history was never her thing. She preferred writing and reading, but learning about the past didn't really appeal to her.
The teacher heaved a big sigh. "Quiet now, class. You'll all have your turn of making mistakes." The class still chatted and snickered. *Slam!* "I SAID SILENCE!" The room became quiet again. "These humans were foolish. According to the witches, they murdered their own kind, slaughtered innocent animal, tortured other humans and living creatures... and other bad things. In the year, 7012 M.D., the sun blew up causing Mercury to fall first, then Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and finally, Neptune. It took approximately 0.000476, or 250 light minutes, for the whole galaxy to be destroyed. Why is this important you ask? It's because we now about how our galaxy, Fiore, and our planet, Magnolia, was created."
The coral sang in a loud voice, signalling that class was finally over.
"We may or may not have a quiz on this tomorrow, so hopefully you listened." She glanced at Lucy and a few other students. "Class dismissed."

"Lu-chan, Lu-chan!" a blue haired, orange winged fairy called out excitedly.
"I'm listening." Lucy said as she swam to the edge of the river and crossed her arms over the grass. She looked as Levy, who was perched on a branch of the peach tree.
"Recently, I read an interesting book about the "hostile." Her eyes sparkled like stars. "A loooong time ago, there were several reports about vampires, werewolves, and goblins attacked many fellow creature. For example, werewolves tore up a witch from limb to limb, slowly killing her, a vampire ripped the flesh of a fairy, and a goblin decapi-"
"Levy, you know that I can't handle gore."
"Whoops! Heh heh." Levy giggled. "Sorry! Anyways, so after several reports to filed, the council decided to banish them. Remember that this took place a loooong time ago. They may have changed, so don't you think they should be able to come back?"
Lucy thought for a second, then replied. "Wouldn't they hold a grudge? I mean, all of the Hostile were banished from Fairy Tail, so why wouldn't they have a grudge?"
"Good point." Levy said as she folded her arms. "What if some of them are living in Fairy Tail in hiding?"
"Who knows. I guess we'll find out if we encounter one." Lucy chuckled. "If we encounter one."
The trees dances as they shook their leaves to the beat, the birds accompanying them with their cheerful singing.
"Well, there's the sign to go home." Levy sighed. "If I find out a way to let you explore the land above the water, I'll tell you and do what I can to assist, but we both know that I'm not too good with magic. See you tomorrow!"
"Thank you! See you tomorrow!" Lucy said as she waved and dove underwater, swam past the school of fish, past the sand of the angry sea witch, and into her cave.
"I'm home!" she called out to no one. In return, her echo rang throughout the lonely cave. She tapped the jellyfish, and the room grew brighter. She swam back to the entrance and knocked on the wall, which immediately grumbled and slammed the door shut. Lucy then proceeded to hang her coral bag on the wall and sat at her desk.
Grabbing her notebook and pen, she scribbled, then groaned, and crumpled up her paper and tossed it in the shallow hole, proceeding to rewrite. Lucy sighed as she ripped out the paper and molded it into a ball in her fists. "I can't think of anything to write!" She looked up at the stars, or her fake, glowing starfish on the ceiling. She had always wanted to take a look at the stars, constantly trying to swim to the surface. On reflex, she swam up. Realising this, she sank back down and pulled off the seaweed-book. "STARS AND CONSTELLATIONS" it read. She smiled and flipped through the pages.
"Scorpio, Aquarius, Cancer, Pieces, Leo, Capricorn, Aries, Taurus, Virgo, Libra, Sagittarius..." She said as she pointed at the images of the constellations.
She looked around. No one was watching. She tapped on the wall and examined the area. Everyone was asleep. She tapped on the jellyfish, immediately darkening the room, and swam up.
She was going to go take a look at the stars.

Her head was sticking up partially, with only her eyes above the water. She looked around, and no one was there. Lucy swam to the rock and pushed herself up using her arms. Her eyes glistened like jewel as she sat in awe. "These are stars... These are really stars!" She exclaimed happily. her eyes wandered the sky. She pointed at a constellation, then to the other as she carefully said their names, fearing that the stars would disappear if she were too loud. "Ursa Major.. Horologium... Canis Minor..." Her pace got quicker. "Orion, Ursa Minor, Hercules, Aries, Leo..." She sparkled in delight. She looked at them as if she was a small child absorbed into a simple magic trick.
A branch screeched in pain as it snapped.
Lucy's heartbeat quickened as she froze with fear fear. 'What am I going to say?' The punishment for sea creatures staying on land at night is confinement for a moon or more. Worst case scenario, banishment from Fiore. The rules are very strict, and breaking them lead to nothing but trouble, but not in this case... or is it?
Another screech, accompanied by the rustle of scattering leaves.
Thump. Thump. Thump
Her pulse started to rise as she sat silently.
The snapping got louder and louder.
Thump, thump, thump, thump
The snapping came to a halt, and soon they stood face to face.
A boy who looked about her age, with pretty pink hair.
Well, this chapter was pretty short... In my opinion. I've been rereading the same book for a while now, so I apologize if the characters were a bit OOC, which I felt were, but hey, things change, right? I'm really excited, so possible updates will be in 2-3 days. Quick announcement; I am setting up a poll for a new story, so please check it out. I hope you enjoy this series! Thank you for reading!
