CHAPTER TWO
School Trip?
WARNING: This chapter is long. Almost 14k works :O so you have been warned
'Lucy sweetie it's time to get up'
"mm i'm up"
A soft giggle puts a smile on Lucy's face
A gentle hand strokes her hair and Lucy nuzzles into it ' you'll be late if you don't get up'
"But I want to stay here with you mom" Lucy whispers
'I promise I'm not going anywhere sweetie'
Lucy slowly opened her eyes, expecting to see her mother on the side of her bed, but was greeted by a pink haired boy squatting next to her with scowl.
"Oi you woke yet?" He said tapping her cheek lightly with the back of his hand.
Lucy blinked a couple of time trying to adjust her eyes to the light. She looked up to a blue sky with little to no clouds and the bright sun. She brought her hand up and rubbed her face and felt little grains of sand stick to her face.
Finally Lucy sat up and took in her surroundings. She was at a beach, but she doesn't recall getting there or how she fell asleep in the sand.
"How did I get here?" She asked with a groggy voice. Natsu turned to her with a confused expression and sat down next to her. "You don't remember the school trip?" he asked.
She shook her head and tried to remember what happened today. Slowly her memory was coming back. She remembered today was an important day, but why was it so important? Was it the school trip he mentioned?
Oh yeah that's right today was her first day at Fairy Tail Academy, but something was off about this first day.
'Why are we on the beach?' Lucy thought in her head.
"Happy brought us here for the school trips remember." Natsu said. Lucy didn't know she actually said that out loud
Happy that's right, that weird talking stuffed animal cat. He brought them there in a weird way. Lucy remembered being in a classroom that was shaking and everything falling.
Slowly all the pieces came back together on how Lucy ended up here, but she doesn't remember falling asleep.
"How did I end up sleeping in the sand?" Lucy turned to ask Natsu. He crossed his legs and took out his match and started flicking the fire.
"After everything disappeared you stood up and started mumbling something. You started walking towards the ocean then a coconut fell down and hit your head." Natsu said.
Lucy smacked her head at how cliché that was. She looked down and saw said coconut on the ground not too far from them. She looked up and saw a big palm tree shadowing over her and Natsu.
"Everyone was worried and tried to wake you up; Happy said he would take care of it. He just waved that stupid stick around and told us to let you rest."
Lucy sighed and looked out into the ocean. She felt at peace there in the sand looking out into the ocean. Even having Natsu next to her seemed to calm her in a way. Lucy felt like nothing in the world could be wrong. But something in the back of her mind was nagging at her and she couldn't shake it. She looked around and noticed only her, Natsu and the blue haired boy with the weird tattoo under his right eye were on the beach.
"Where did everyone go?" Lucy asked Natsu.
"Well Happy told us to introduce ourselves then we could explore the island. So after we introduced ourselves everyone just left." Natsu said.
"So we're on a island, did he say the name of the island?"
Natsu shook his head. "I wasn't really paying attention but I don't think so. He did say though after we earn some stupid hope fragment he would give us a clue."
"What are hope fragments?" Lucy asked confused.
"Don't you remember? He explained this during introductions." Natsu said rolling his eyes.
"Uh I was kind of sleep during then." Lucy said blushing, she was embarrassed that missed out on these details because of a coconut to the head.
"Take out your Student Handbook and I'll show you." Natsu said putting his lighter away and taking out a phone from his pocket. Lucy looked it over and it looked like a regular phone, on the back it had the Fairy Tail academy crest.
"I don't have one of those." Lucy said.
"Oh yeah I forgot I have yours." Natsu said, he took out another one of those phone's and handed it to Lucy. Lucy looked as the screen popped on and had her name splattered on the screen, WELCOME Lucy Heartfilia, It read as it booted up.
"Go to the third app, called student information." Natsu said pointing at an app on his phone with a pink flower on it. Lucy looked to her phone and saw the same app. She tapped on it and saw her student information.
"There are 15 numbers on the side, Happy said it's for each students profile. Once we met that student the number will light up." Natsu started to explain.
Lucy looked down and saw number two was the only number lighted up on her phone.
"If a number is lighted up that means we can begin earning hope fragments with that student. Hope fragments are meant to be the bond you create with each other; if you click on the number you will see an empty flower with six petals on the bottom with one pink pedal." Natsu went to the number one on his phone and showed him the profile on there; it was Lucy's profile, he skimmed down and showed the one lone petal on the empty flower.
"Introductions are supposed to be our first hope fragment, since me and you already met your number was already lit." Natsu explained.
"Happy said our first task on this school trip is to light up every number. We would have been finished if you didn't pass out" Natsu finished in a dead panned voice.
Lucy ignored the end of Natsu statement and asked him another question, "What's with this school trip anyway? I don't remember the agreeing to go on this trip."
Natsu sighed, "I don't know luigi, man you ask so many questions."
"I- I'm sorry" Lucy said looking down
"Wait, HEY my names not luigi! It's LUCY L-U-C-Y!" Lucy yelled at Natsu. She got up and glared down at him.
"Yeah whatever." Natsu said getting up and standing over Lucy.
"Come on." He said grabbing Lucy's hand and dragging her over to the blue haired guy.
"W-w-what are you doing." Lucy stammered blushing at having him hold her hand.
"You have to get your hope fragments started." Natsu stated, dragging her over to the blue haired guy.
"Yo Jellal," Natsu said as they appeared in front of the blue haired guy. He was sitting under a tree with a book in his hand, there was this yellow camera sticking out of the ground not too far from where he sat.
Jellal looked up at the two newcomers and closed his book, He stood to greet them with a small smile.
"Hello Natsu," He said bowing a little in Natsu's direction. He then turned to Lucy and offered his hand for her to shake.
"Nice to meet you Lucy, I'm Jellal Fernandas." He greeted her, Lucy took his hand and shook it she gave him a small smile.
After she shook his hand she realized something, "Hey how do you know my name?" She asked Jellal.
"I heard Natsu yell it after you got hit in the head." He explained.
Lucy turned her head to Natsu but he was just staring off into the ocean while she and Jellal talked.
"Ah I see," Lucy said. "Well it will still be nice to introduce myself properly. I'm Lucy Heartfilia."
"Oh so your related to the Heartfilia family?" Jellal asked Lucy.
Lucy hesitated for a second. She swallowed down a lump that formed in her throat and shook her head. "No, even though we share the same last name, I have no relation to them." Lucy said in the sweetest voice she could muster then.
"Ah I see, I thought maybe that's how you got into Fairy Tail." Jellal said, "So how did you get in?"
"I was selected through the lottery to attend as the Ultimate Lucky Student." Lucy stated.
"Oh so you were the one chosen, I did wonder which one of us it'd be." He muttered the last part to himself.
"You know about that?" Lucy asked shocked that he actually knew about them choosing a random student through the lottery system.
"Yeah I use to keep up with Fairy Tail new quiet often. I wanted to know everything about this school if I were to attend one day" He said
"Did you know you were going to come here one day?"
"No, I just always dreamed to come to this school. I worked hard until I got noticed. I was remarkably good at physics in junior high, so good that a college professor asked me to attend one of his seminars. From there I got known as the star seeker; oh where are my manners I didn't tell you my talent yet." Jellal said.
"I am the Ultimate Astronomer." He said with a satisfied smile.
Lucy heard a loud ring come from her student handbook. She pulled it out and saw the pink flower app glowing. She tapped it and saw number eight glow.
"What's this?" Lucy asked.
"It does that after you finished an introduction." Jellal said looking down at his student handbook.
"And with that I finished everyone." He mumbled.
Lucy clicked on the number and saw Jellal's profile come up. The flower at the bottom had one petal filled in.
"I finished everyone first" Natsu spoke up finally, Lucy looked over and saw him seated next to the yellow camera. He had his lighter out flicking it.
"I meant to ask, but why is there a camera sticking out of the sand?" Lucy asked.
"So I can keep my eye on all of you. I don't want anyone to get injured again." A cheery voice said from somewhere. Lucy looked around to see where the cat was this time. She saw Jellal and Nastu look up at a tree across from them so she followed their gaze and saw them looking up to a yellow monitor with Happy on it wearing a yellow shirt with palm trees on it. He seemed to be sitting in a hotel room with a tropical looking drink in his paw.
"Also it so I can make sure everyone follows the rules." He added taking a sip of his drink.
"What rules?" Lucy asked looking up at him on the screen.
"Duh, the ones in your handbook." He said with an eye roll.
Lucy looked down at the handbook in her hand and the first app she saw read 'Rules and Regulations.' She opened the app and read over the rules
Rule #1: Extreme violence is prohibited on this island. Please live peaceful and relaxing lives with your fellow students.
Rule #2: Be considerate of each other and work together to obtain Hope fragments.
Rule #3: Littering is not allowed. Let us coexist with this island's bountiful nature in "mutual prosperity".
Rule #4: The lead teacher cannot directly interfere with the students. An exception to this rule is made if any student violates a rule.
Rule #5: With minimal restrictions, you are free to explore the island at your discretion.
Rule #6: Violence against any staff member is strictly prohibited, as is destruction of surveillance cameras.
Rule #7: "Nighttime" is from 10 pm to 7 am. Some areas are off-limits at night, so please exercise caution.
Lucy finished reading over the rules and looked up to see the monitor was off. Lucy looked over to see Jellal sitting back down with his book and Natsu staring at her.
"Oi, you done yet?" He asked. Lucy nodded her head.
"Come on, we got more people to meet." He said grabbing Lucy's hand again.
"It was nice meeting you Jellal!" Lucy called over her shoulder.
"Likewise!" He said looking up from his book smiling.
Lucy turned away and took in her surroundings as her and Natsu walked. The beach was absolutely beautiful, It looked just like something ripped out of a resort magazine. The ocean was crystal clear with and pushed up to the shore in short wave. The sand was soft and was the perfect shade of tan. The palms trees seemed to be spread out in even spaces and coconuts hand off of them. Lucy looked over and saw huge rocks lined up the side with bushes of flowers and seaweed hanging off the corners.
Natsu led them to a sidewalk at the end of the beach that led them the way of the rest of the island. Lucy could see tall buildings in the distance after the got off the beach. She didn't seem them while she was on the beach and looked back to see the rocks blocked the view of the rest of the island from the beach.
They made their way to a place that looked like a super market with carts sitting outside. Lucy could see products hanging on the wall from the big windows the super market had. As they made there was up to the door they could hear yelling inside. Lucy looked over to Natsu but he seemed unfazed by the noise.
They came inside to see the red headed girl chasing down the lanky orange haired boy.
"STOP RUNNING IN THE STORE!" the red head roared at the boy. He just laughed at her and kept running.
"You're running in the store too." He said picking up the pace.
"YEAH TO STOP YOU!" She yelled. She stopped briefly and picked up a fishing pole and stormed him with it.
"Woah, Hey! No weapons." He said dashing down an aisle.
"Wow look at those guys go at it." Someone said to the side of Lucy. They put their arm around her shoulder and Lucy looked to see the brown hair girl next to her. She pulled a silver flask and drank in it. Lucy could smell heavy alcohol coming from the girl.
After she downed the rest of what's in there she slumped next to Lucy. "Nothing like some good booze to start your morning, amirite!" She exclaimed.
"Cana Alberona." She said to Lucy, giving her boob a squeeze. Lucy blushed and backed away from the girl.
"Uh- I m-m-m" Lucy stuttered.
"You broke her Cana" Natsu said scowling in Cana's direction.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA my bad!" Cana laughed out loud.
Lucy closed her eyes and took a deep breath to get herself back in control. She smiled and held her hand out to Cana.
"Nice to meet you Cana, I'm Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy said, Cana took her hand and shook it.
"ooo your that hot girl that passed out on the beach. I was wondering when you where gonna wake." Cana said.
"Now we can get this show on a road. Oh Lucy move to you right" She said sitting down on a pile of floaties.
Lucy moved over shortly after the red head tried to throw the pole and missed the orange hair boy she was trying to throw it at, so the pole came flying past Lucy's head.
"Yet another one saved, thanks to the great Cana." The girl said throwing her hands up laughing.
"How did you know that was going to hit me?" Lucy asked her.
"I can see the future" she said with a smug grin.
"Huh"
"haha everyone always have the same reaction." The girl laughed.
"I'm a fortune teller, er I guess by this school standards I am the Ultimate Fortune Teller." Cana said.
"Oh that's your talent? How did you get into fortune telling?" Lucy asked.
"Dunno, I've always had this crazy way of predicting stuff. Then one day at the bar this guy showed me how to use tarot cards and I turned crazy good. Everyone always comes to check out my skills." The brown haired girl said.
"Wait how did you manage to get into a bar? Aren't you 16?" Lucy asked.
"I have many tricks up my sleeve." Cana grinned." Hey what's your talent?" she asked.
"Oh, um well I am the Ultimate Lucky Student." Lucy said looking down and blushing. Her talent didn't seem all that good from the rest of her peers.
"Woah, so like you have the power of luck on your side. Haha I'm glad I have someone like you here. You're my new good luck charm." The girl said getting back up.
A ring came from both of their student handbooks. Lucy took hers out and saw number seven light up in the student information app.
"Woo all done, this calls for a victory drink." Cana said making her way towards the back of the store.
"Let's catch up later Luce and have a drink!" She said waving to Lucy. Lucy smiled and nodded as Cana left out of her sight.
"You're a great running partner Erza!" The oranged hair boy said passing Lucy. The red head soon came after looking exhausted.
"St-op run..ing."She panted.
"Erm Natsu you sure are-" Lucy looked to see Natsu gone. Lucy looked around and saw a flash of pink go down an aisle.
Lucy turned to walk towards it, soon Jellal came into the store.
The orange hair guy ran past him and yelled "Your turn"
"Hu-"He started but the red head ran into him. The commotion made Lucy turn around. Red head and Jellal lay on the ground.
"Stop runnin" She breathed heavily. She tried to get up and fell back down onto Jellal.
"Are you alright?" Jellal said in a soft voice to her. She looked up at him with hazy eyes. She blinked a few times and started blushing madly. She quickly pushed herself up and helped Jellal back up.
"Yes I'm alright, I'm sorry!" the red head said looking down. Jellal smiled down at her and put his hand on her head. "It's okay, just make sure you don't over-do it Erza."He said. She nodded her head.
She looked up at him innocently and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to get some water; it's getting quite hot on the beach." He said.
"I'll show you where they are" Erza said, turning around and guiding him to a different part of the store.
As they walked away Lucy turned to make her way back to Natsu but bumped into the orange hair boy.
"Sorry I didn't think you would turn this way." He said rubbing his nose.
"No I'm sorry I didn't know anyone was behind me." Lucy apologized.
The orange hair guy shook his head and smiled at Lucy. " It's cool, But I don't think I caught your name? You weren't here before right?" He said.
"Uh yeah I was I just got hit in the head." She said "But my name is Lucy Heartfilia, nice to meet you." She said in a polite manner.
"Oh you were the girl that got hit, I couldn't see anything past that big dude. My name 's Jet Celer." The orange hair said. He started running in place and doing stretches.
"Man Jellal is totally her weakness. You can tell just by how she acts around him." Jet stated.
"You two were running for a while. How are you still full of energy after that?" Lucy asked him.
"That was just a warm up. You have to be ready to run anytime if you plan on becoming the number one track star." Jet said pumping a fist into the air.
"Is that your Ultimate talent?" Lucy asked.
"Yep I am the Ultimate Track star, so far I'm the fastest teen in Fiore." He said proudly.
"What bout' you? What's your talent?" He asked Lucy.
"I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student." She said.
"What kind of talent is luck?" Jet said reaching down to his toes.
"I don't know, It's just a random thing the school does." Lucy said looking away. She started to feel bad about accepting the offer to come here with such a stupid title. Anyone could have luck so what makes it special to one person.
"Well I guess certain people do use Luck to make it to the top, so maybe it isn't all that bad." He said turning away towards the exit.
"I gotta go, standing in one place so long tires me out. I need to stretch my legs." He said dashing out of the store. As he left Lucy's handbook rings and the number thirteen lights up. Lucy stuffs the handbook back into her bad and walk over to where she last saw Natsu.
When she gets to the aisle she sees Natsu standing next to a wall filled with different kind of chips. He's stuffing a bag of some spicy chips down and Lucy looked down and see 3 empty bags by his feet.
"Ohf yer dun?" Natsu says with his mouth full. Lucy cringes and walks up to him.
"Swallow first." She said. Natsu finished off what he was eating and asked her again "Are ya done?"
She nods and her picks up his bags he dropped. Lucy follows him as they go towards a trash that's near the exit. He throws away his bags and wipes off his hands. He grabs Lucy hand again and they make their way back to the side walk.
They make their way to the next destination in silence. It seemed to be some ways away as far as Lucy could see. From far away it looked like an tiny resort they were heading towards.
Lucy bit her lip and stared at Natsu, it was obviously going to take some time for them to get to the next place. She wanted to ask so many questions to the pink haired boy but didn't want to bother him. The boy seemed to be thinking hard on something Lucy thought as she looked at him.
"Damn, can't you watch where you're going." Natsu said as Lucy bumped into him.
"Sorry," Lucy mumbled out backing away a little, Natsu squeezing her hand a little so she wouldn't let go.
"Weirdo" he said under his breath.
"I'm not a weirdo, if anyone here is, it's you" Lucy said with an eye roll.
"How?" Natsu asked her.
"Well, for one you seem to have no clue what personal space is." Lucy said tugging her hand from Natsu. He let her hand go and tucked his hands in his pocket.
"You also play with fire, which is extremely dangerous. You're like a walking fire hazard." She stated.
"Don't worry, haven't caused a fire since I was 15" He said with a smirk. "And if I do start a fire, it would be on purpose."
"Why do you flick that fire anyway, there are safer ways to cure boredom." Lucy ask Natsu.
"Fire is my element. It puts me at ease." Natsu said in a nonchalant tone.
"Why fire of all things?"
"You ask way too many questions loony." He said giving her a bored expression.
"It's Lucy!" She said with a pout.
"Whatever floats your boat."
"How big is this island?" Lucy said ignoring Natsu. She looked around at all the scenery as they pasted all the trees and flowers. The resort seemed to be getting closer but it was still another 5 minute walk away.
Natsu just shrugged his shoulders and walked a little ahead of Lucy, he took out his lighter and started flicking it up fire. Lucy looked around and saw the wind blow the leaves on the palm trees. She looked up at the sky and saw it crystal clear without a single cloud in the sky, just the lone sun shine. She looked down to the ground and saw the perfectly carved sidewalk and the untouched sand on either side.
'Are we the only living things here' Lucy thought to her self. So far it seemed to be no signs of other people than them, no animals, not even a single insect. Everything just seemed too perfect here on this island they got stranded on.
Lucy got pulled out of her thoughts when she fell over Natsu.
"Ow, watch were you're going." The boy groaned under Lucy.
"Sorry." She said sitting up on his back.
"And will you get off of me, you're so huge." He said struggling to get up.
"O-oh I'm so-sorry," Lucy began getting up" Wait, I am not huge!" Lucy yelled at him.
"Well you not exactly thin." He mumbled under his breath.
Lucy dusted herself off and looked up. They made it to the resort finally. They were standing in front of the gates to go inside. Natsu took a step forward and Lucy followed behind. The resort was huge and in the front had what seemed to be 16 villas. A huge pathway separated 8 on each side, 4 facing off on one another. Lucy looked down and saw that they were walking on wood, between the cracks you could see water underneath. If you walk a little further is the main area of the resort. A tall building stands in the middle of the far back, It seemed to be the main building for the resort where the reception must be. A sign on the front read ' Love & Lucky' this must be the name of the resort Lucy thought. A sign to the side shown a restaurant to be attached to the building.
On the right of the tall building was a brown shack that seemed to hardly be holding up. Its front stairs were covered in dirt and the side railing broke off, but beautiful palm trees and flower bushes decorated its outside and made it oddly fit this extravagant resort.
In the middle of the place was a swimming pool, lined with lounge chairs and beach umbrellas. Some even hand little tables on the side of them. One of the chairs seemed to be occupied by one of the students on there trip, Lucy looked over to him and he was-
"WHY IS THERE A NAKED BOY BY THE POOL!" She yelled covering her eyes.
"Oi, pervert put some clothes on!"Natsu yelled at the boy.
"I do have on- aw shit where did they go." The boy said. Lucy heard a chair move and footsteps come her way.
"Sorry miss could you move? You're on my pants." The boy said to her. Lucy put her hands down and blushed. He had his underwear on now and was crouching by Lucy's feet. She moved over and he grabbed his pants and put them on.
"Learn to leave your freaking clothes on stripper." Natsu said to the boy.
"It's not my fault! They just come off." He yelled back at Natsu. The pink hair boy grew irritated at the black haired boy.
"You just can't make clothes magically come off of you gray!" Natsu yelled back at the boy.
"Yeah just like you can't magically set you pants on fire when your flicking right next to them." Gray said with an eyeroll.
"Well at least people were delighted when my pants fell off. People just cringe when they have to see your blue underwear for the 3rd time in one day." Natsu said to the boy.
The black hair boy threw himself at Natsu and they began to fight next to the pool.
"Hey guys knock it off you can fall int-" Lucy started but got knocked back into the pool by their fight. She quickly recovered and floated to the top. She got to the side and tried to get out of the pool. Lucy got one leg out when something since a shiver down her spine. She froze there at the edge then slowly looked up to see a seething red head.
"You two, fighting again I see." Hissed the red head. Upon hearing her talk they both froze. The girl went down and tugged both the boys by the ear. "What did I say about fighting earlier."
"W-w-w-were not fighting" The black haired boy said. "W-w-we were uh j-just doing a…"
"A-aa handshake!" Natsu said trying to pull off a cheerful voice.
"I see, well it nice to see two classmates getting along. I'd like to see this handshake you guys were doing. Maybe you could teach me!" The red head said cheering up. She let the boys go and they slumped to the ground.
"Oh my happened to you!" She said turning to Lucy, she grabbed Lucy's hand and helped her rest of the way out of the pool.
"Uh during their uhm handshake I fell into the pool" Lucy said. She grabbed her dress and rung it out as best as she could. Her wet hair clicked to her face so Lucy took it and rung it out too. She tied into on top of her hair into a loose bun.
"It's not good to stay in those wet clothes for too long. Here sit I'll go to the market and bring you back some clothes." The red head said pushing Lucy down into a lounge chair. After Lucy was sitting she dashed out of the gates towards the way to the market.
"Eh, sorry about pushing you into the pool." The black haired boy said walking up to Lucy.
"It's okay, but why'd you just start fighting Natsu like that?" Lucy asked him.
"The guy irritates the living hell out of me." He said rolling his eyes towards the pink haired boy.
"You aren't that fun to be around either stripper." Natsu said. He finally got up and sat in the chair next to Lucy.
"Hey were you that girl sleeping on the beach?" The black hair boy said to Lucy. She blushed and nodded her head.
"Well it wasn't intended." Lucy muttered.
"Yeah I know. I saw the coconut fall on your head." The boy said giving lucy a sympathetic look.
"Anyways it's nice to meet you, I'm Gray Fullbuster." The guy said with a small smile. He offered his hand to Lucy.
"Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy said taking his hand.
"So what brings a cutie like you to Fairy Tail?" He asked Lucy letting her hand go. Lucy couldn't help but note how cold his hand was.
"I got in through the lottery. I am the Ultimate Lucky Student." Lucy said, her smile fading for a minute.
"Awe sweet, we must be lucky to have you here then. Our class good luck charm." He said patting Lucy on the head. She giggle and nodded to him.
"Are you flirting with Gray sama" Lucy heard an icy voice say behind her.
"Jesus Juvia were did you come from." Lucy heard Natsu say, but she was too terrified right now by the creepy presence behind her. She shrieked and jumped up but ended up tripping and falling on Gray in the process.
"GET OFF OF JUVIA'S GRAY" Lucy heard, she screamed into Gray's chest then quickly ran off of him.
"Juvia for the last time in not yours." Gray said in an annoyed voice. He came over to Lucy who was crouching on the floor with her hands over her head shielding her from the girl's wrath. He put a hand on her head and tried to sooth her.
"B-but gray sama, you said-" She started but Gray cut her off.
"Just because I told you we can be friends doesn't mean you own me," Gray said. Lucy calmed down and he was trying to help her up. "Beside we just met today, how can you be so obsessed with someone in a day."
"I-I Just…." The girl started but quickly deflated. She pouted and turned away.
"The least you could do is apologize for scaring her." Gray said. Lucy turned around and saw a girl with blue hair looking down. She was running her hand in her hair to the right side of her head.
She looked over to Lucy and frowned. "Sorry I scared you…" She said. Lucy stared at the girl the smile. She walked over to her and offered her hand to the blue haired girl.
"It's okay," Lucy said" My name is Lucy Heartfilia, It's nice to meet you!" Lucy said in a cheerful voice. The girl looked at Lucy's hand and stayed quiet for a minute. Lucy tried to hold out as long as she could, but seeing as the girl didn't want to talk, she put her hand down. But as she was putting it back to the side the girl grabbed it and shook it."Juvia Lobster, Ultimate Marine Biologist." She said. Lucy blinked at the girl and gave her a soft smile.
"That's nice, so are you good with sea animals and stuff?" Lucy asked the girl. Juvia looked up at Lucy and wore a blank expression.
"Juvia is really good with sea creaters. Once Juvia worked at a planetarium and people there called her the sea whisperer." She said blushing a little.
"Ooo so you can talk to the sea animals?" Lucy asked the girl. The blue haired girl shook her head "Juvia can't directly talk to them, but by their body langue Juvia can tell what they want." She told Lucy.
"What's you talent?" Juvia asked Lucy.
"Oh, uhm I am the Ultimate Lucky Student." Lucy said.
"Interesting." Was all Juvia said. She walked over to Gray and her mood seemed to shift completely. She seemed way happier than what she was before.
"Oh I forgot to tell you my Ultimate talent Luce," Gray said to her.
"I am the Ultimate Ice Sculptor" Gray said in pride.
"Oh that explains why your hands are so cold." Lucy said.
"Nah, I'm just anemic." He said. "Haven't touched any ice since we got here."
"If you're anemic doesn't that mean your cold all the time?" Lucy said.
"No I just have low iron." He said. Just then Lucy, Juvia, and Gray's handbook all rang. Lucy took hers out and checked the student information app. The numbers three and twelve lit up.
"Nice I'm all done now." Gray said, "Juvia is done as well." She said after Gray.
"Great looks like were all done here." Natsu said getting up and grabbing Lucy's hand. He started tugging her towards the main building in the back, but he quickly let her hand go.
He started to walk forward and Lucy followed him. They entered the main building and saw the receptionist area. It was huge and split into different sections. Once area seemed to be games and the next area was a sitting area.
Lucy looked over and saw someone sitting on one of the couched, someone with orange hair. They seemed to be sitting down reading something. Natsu walked over to the orange haired person. As they got closer Lucy noticed who it was and immediately scowled.
"Yo Loke, Whatsup." Natsu said to the boy, Loke looked up at Natsu and Lucy and immediately lit up.
"Hey Natsu, hey Lucy." He said greeting the two of them. He put down the magazine he was reading. Lucy stared at it and saw it was a fashion magazine.
"What brings you two here?" He asked them.
"Taking Luce around to meet everyone." Natsu said sitting down on the couch opposite of Loke. Lucy stood there looking at the receptionist that seemed untouched.
"Well, actually me and her already know each other. Though I know she wishes we didn't." Loke said looking over to Lucy. She refused to meet his gaze and went over to sit next to Natsu.
Natsu looked over to Lucy and saw she was trying to avoid looking at Loke.
"Come on Luce we won't be done with introductions if you don't try and talk to him." Natsu said. Lucy winced and looked down, he was right they wouldn't be able to get done. But Lucy refused to look the boy in the eye, it reminded her too much of the past.
"Lucy Heartfilia, Ultimate Lucy student." Lucy said finally turning to the orange haired boy. He blinked and slowly started to smile.
"I already know your name princess." Loke said. "But I didn't think you got in by luck. If anything I thought your writing."
"But it just goes to show how lucky you truly are Lucy." He said. Lucy remind silent and looked at her hands in her lap.
"I know you're wondering how on earth I got in here right?" Loke said to Lucy's in a teasing tone. She still sat quietly and refused to talk to him. He sighed and shook his head.
"Look Luce, were going to be seeing each other a lot more. It can't be helped, so you can't ignore me forever come on." Loke tried. Lucy finally looked over to him and saw how sad he looked. A part of Lucy started to feel regret, but she refused to let it show. She hated having to try and avoid the orange hair boy all this time and now it would be harder with them being on this island.
"I won't bring up anything that happened Lucy. Let's start over here okay, I just want to have my friend back." He said to Lucy. It finally broke her down, She put her head back down and bit her lip.
"Okay." She said. Loke whole mood changed, he walked over to Lucy and crouched down and put his arms around her.
"Ohhh I've missed you so much princess." He said excitedly in her ear.
"Stop calling me princess." Lucy said trying to push Loke off of her.
"Sorry sorry. Okay Lucy!" He said. He finally got off of Lucy and sat next to her.
"You still didn't guess my ultimate Luce." He said leaning back on the couch.
"If I had to guess it's the Ultimate annoyance." Lucy said rolling her eyes.
"Hah you wish."
"Then what is it?" Lucy asked raising an eyebrow.
Loke stood up and did a pose" I am the Ultimate Model." He said.
Lucy lost it and started laughing at her old friend.
"What's so funny?" He asked pouting.
"You a model?" Lucy said, another burst of laughter coming out of her.
"What can I say, I have a charm." He said to Lucy. He sat back down next to her and smiled.
"You have a point there." Lucy said, She remember when they were kids and he played the prince. Lucy couldn't help actually falling for the boy when he faked as a prince. It was so convincing that Lucy felt like a real princess finding her prince. But it all got ruined when Loke went off playing prince with the other girls on the playground.
"How did you get into modeling?" Lucy asked the boy.
"Well back in middle school, during one of our plays someone's mom scouted me. She said I have such a pretty face and wanted to feature me for this up and coming clothing line." He said
"Not even surprised you were a part of the drama club." Lucy said
"Well you know how good I am with acting." Loke said with a wink. Lucy giggled.
She honestly did miss her friend. It had been lonely for Lucy for a while and having someone she knew here with her put her at ease a little.
The doors bust open and a red head came running towards them.
"There you are. You left and Gray said you guys went in here." She said. She handed Lucy a bag with all different kind of clothes in it.
"Oh I'm sorry," Lucy said standing and taking the bag. " I forgot you went to get me clothes."
"Its alright. Hurry and change before you catch a cold." The red head said. She grabbed Lucy by the arm and tugged her to the women's bathroom.
Lucy entered and put the bag down on the sink. She skimmed through the bag and tried to find something to wear. There seemed to be a different verity of clothes to choose from in the bag.
She heard a loud ring come from her bag as she tried on her 2nd shirt, this was the second one that was too little. She picked up her bag and took her student handbook out. She went to the student information app and saw the number sixteen lit up. Lucy clicked on it and read over his profile.
Loke Lyon- Ultimate Model
Ht: 185 CM
Weight: 154 pounds.
Summery:
Loke was discovered in middle school for his dashing good looks. Now he models for different magazines and is signed with one of the biggest agencies in the city, Blue Pegasus.
"Are you ok in there?" The girl said on the other side of the door. Lucy toss her handbook back into her bag and went back to the bag.
"Yeah just trying to find something that fits." She said to her.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know your size so I just grabbed random things. I can go back and find something in your size." The girl said on the other side.
"Its okay I'll try to find something in here. I'll let you know if I need more clothes." Lucy said. She picked up a top that was white and had a blue cross going in the middle. It was a button up top so Lucy shrugged it on her shoulders and button it up except for the last two because they couldn't connect. She looked in the mirror and saw that her cleavage was spilling out of the top, but not a whole lot of it. She blushed thinking it would be weird coming out like this. But none of the other stuff fitted.
She cursed herself for having huge boobs; it was a curse when trying to wear button ups. She digged through the bag and saw a matching blue skirt to go with the outfit. She shimmied them on and picked up her wet clothes from the floor. Before she walked out she noticed she was bare foot, she went through the bag again and saw blue flip flops at the bottom.
She put back on her book bag and came out of the restroom. The red head took the wet clothes from her hand and looked her over.
"Good I was able to find one outfit you could wear." She said with a smile.
"Ill put these in the washer for you- Ah wait we haven't introduced each other yet." The red head said.
"I am Erza Scarlet. It's nice to meet you miss?"
"Lucy Heartfilia. Nice to meet you too Erza." She said. Erza Smiled and nodded her head to the girl.
"I hope to have a good school year with you Lucy. If you need anything don't hesitate to come find me." She said, begining to walk off.
"Oh wait- whats your talent?" Lucy said to the red head before she could go away again.
"Hmm Oh," She said turning back around to Lucy.
"I am the Ultimate Knight?" She said proudly. She patted the sheathed sword that was nestled to her hip.
"A Knight?" Lucy gasped. She looked at the sword Erza had her hand on and said "Is that real?"
"Yes it's a real sword. I keep it on me at all times." The red head said matter of fact-ly.
"That's a great talent." Lucy breathed in awe.
"Thank you." The red head said "What seems to be your talent?" She asked Lucy.
"Oh, I'm the Ultimate Lucy Student."
"What a remarkable talent." The red head said.
"It's nothing compared to yours though. Mine is just plain." Lucy said looking down.
"Nonsense, luck is a very powerful thing. No one knows exactly how it works. But if you have it on your side then you have nothing to worry about. You should take more pride in your talent Lucy." The red head said giving Lucy a soft smile.
She patted Lucy shoulder, the blonde looked up and stared at her red eyes. The girl seemed so powerful just by looked alone and her presence. And to have someone like her praising Lucy for her talent made her feel encouraged. She smiled at the red head and nodded.
"Thank you" She told her. The girl just nodded and made her way towards the back of the receptionist area. As Lucy was walking a ring came from her handbook. She took it out and saw the app glowing; she clicked and saw the number four glowing. After taking a look she put her handbbok back in her bag and made her way back to the boys.
Lucy came back and saw Natsu and Loke staring at a magazine together. When she came up to them Natsu looked and blushed. Loke soon looked up and smirked.
"Wow princess, they've really grown huh." He said eyeing her boobs. Lucy covered herself and blushed.
"Stop looking perv!" She yelled at Loke. He started laughing, Lucy picked up a magazine from the shelf and threw it at him.
"Sorry Luce, it's kinda hard to miss with what you have on." He said.
Natsu got up and grabbed Lucy's arm. "Come on" he said leading her to the stairs.
They hurried up the stairs and made their way into the restaurant area of the building. The girl with long white hair stood decorating a table near the kitchen with all different kinds of food.
They walked up to her and she turned around to greet them.
"Hey Natsu, Hey blondie!" She said in a sweet voice. Natsu waved to her.
"Hey Mira, this is Lucy." He said pointing his thumb back at her.
Lucy just stared at the girl in a trance. It was the beautiful girl from before. She couldn't help but notice how her eyes shined bright, and the sunlight from the windows seemed to hit her at the perfect spot. Her hair flowed around her and smile felt so natural, like she was born to keep smiling.
"Hello earth to Lucy." Natsu said with a chicken in his mouth. He was next to her with a plate full of food in his hand.
"Huh?" She said confused.
"You spaced out there."
"Sorry" She said feeling heat rush to her cheeks. She looked over to the white haired girl who was still smiling softly to her.
"It's just that you're so pretty." Lucy blurted out to the girl. The white haired girl giggled and Lucy felt her heart skip a beat.
"This happens often, Even though me and my sister look alike its always me who puts people in a trance." She said.
"Nice to meet you Lucy, I'm Mirajane Strauss. But you can just call me Mira." She said holding her hand out to Lucy.
Lucy took her hand and noted how soft her skin was. Lucy wanted to hold her hand forever if she could.
"I am the Ultimate Medium" the girl said to Lucy.
"Oh Really!?" Lucy said all too excitedly.
"Hehe yes, I can see dead people." She said in a giggle.
"When did you discover this?" Lucy asked her.
"Hmm when I was little. I saw my parents often but my siblings couldn't I didn't understand at first but after a while I figured it out." She said in a cheerful voice.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear your parents died." Lucy said to her but she quickly shook her head.
"Don't apologize. Even though there gone they have always been with me!" She told Lucy.
"Though since I got here I haven't seen them at all." She whispered under her breath.
"Anyways what's your talent?" She asked Lucy trying to quickly change the subject.
"Oh well, I am the Ultimate Lucky student" Lucy tried to say proudly. She remembered what Erza told her earlier and is trying to wear her title in pride.
Mira giggled "That's an incredible talent Lucy!" She said making Lucy blush.
The alarms started blaring from the kitchen as smoke started coming through.
"Oh no I forgot about the fries" Mira said rushing towards the door. She quickly looked back to Lucy and gave her a huge smile.
"It was nice meeting you Lucy, I'll catch up to you later!" She said, then disappeared into the kitchen.
"That was a good lunch." Natsu said coming up behind Lucy. He grabbed her hand again and dragged her along to the door in the far corner of the restaurant. Before they got out the door Lucy heard her phone ring. She stopped Natsu and took her handbook out of her bag.
The app was glowing again so Lucy clicked on it. The number six was glowing and it had Mira's profile on it. Lucy looked at all the numbers lit up right now and saw she had a little over half the numbers filled. She was almost finish with her introductions.
When they came out of the door Lucy noticed they were on a little patio on the side of the resort main building. It hand chairs and tables with umbrellas sticking out of the middle. They went to the side going down some stairs and made their way back into the main part of the hotel with the pool. Juvia and Gray were in the pool playing a game of marco polo as Natsu and Lucy past.
They made their way out of the resort area and back onto the sidewalk. They started walking in silence again, hand in hand.
"Why's you act so cold to Loke?" Natsu spoke up after some time?
"Hm?" Lucy said getting pulled out of her thoughts.
"Oh, well it's complicated and I don't really want to talk about it right now." Lucy said looking down.
"You guys were friends before right?" Natsu asked Lucy.
"Yeah, a long time ago." Lucy said in a low voice.
Natsu stayed quiet and didn't say anything to Lucy. They walked in silence again.
They made their way to a place that looked like a farm. Natsu pushed open the gate and tugged her along into a field. In the field a girl with short white hair was running around playing with a dog.
"Hey Lisa!"Natsu yelled to the girl. She looked up and smiled brightly at them. She ran over to them with the dog following close behind her.
"Hi Natsu," She said looking over to the pink haired boy. She looked over to Lucy waved. "Hey- uh it was Lucy right?" She said.
Lucy nodded and extended her hand out to the white haired girl. "Yes, Lucy Heartfilia. It's nice to meet you." She said
The white haired girl shook her hand and said "Lisanna Strauss."
"You're related to Mira right?" Lucy asked
"Mhm, she's my older sister. I mean were triplets but she was born first out of us." Lisanna said.
"Wait your tripplets?" Lucy asked." There is another beautiful sister like you two?"
Lisanna giggles at Lucy and shook her head. "No we have a brother, You know the tall buff dude with white hair." Lisanna raised her hand high above her head.
"That's my older brother Elfman, he was born right after Mira." She explained.
Lucy thought back to when she saw the buff guy, It was when he was trying to get out the door. Lucy wondered why it didn't open then when she had gone through it just a couple minutes before. It didn't seem to be lock.
"I know this is late, But earlier the door wouldn't open, why was that?" Lucy asked her. Lisanna just shrugged her shoulders and went down to pet the dog at her ankles.
"No one knows, after you entered the door just closed. Which is weird if the door was just part of a paper wall." Lisanna said
"The whole thing seems weird." She added after her statement.
Lucy nodded and stared as Lisanna started playing with the dog.
"Hey Lisanna, what's your talent?" Lucy asked as the girl picked up a stick and threw it for the dog to fetch.
"I'm the Ultimate Animal Breeder." She said looking over to Lucy. She smiled and asked Lucy " What's yours?"
"I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student" Lucy said returning the smile to Lisanna.
"Oo so your lucky, great now I can have some luck with me during test!" Lisanna said.
"I can't say if I can help you with test heh" Lucy said rubbing her elbow.
"I'm just teasing Lucy, thought your talent is very interesting." Lisanna said giving Lucy a reassuring smile. Lucy smiled back. She noted that the girl has a natural lack for smiling. As Lucy stared at her smile she couldn't help but smile with her.
"How did you become the Ultimate Animal Breeder?" Lucy asked Lisanna. The girl bent down to get the stick from the dog and threw it again.
"Animals have always flocked to me for some reason, I don't mind I love to be around them. Over time I studied and learned how to properly take care of them." She said
"I just love to be around all types of creatures. It's kinda sad though that they don't have any other animals here, but I don't mind playing with this little fella over here." The dog ran back up to them and handed Lisanna the stick. She bent down and grabbed it from his mouth. She started petting the dog behind his ear and he licked her face.
"Well if you want more animals I can summon some!" A cheerful voice said behind them. They all turned around and saw Happy walking up to them. He walked over to the dog and jumped on its back.
"Really you can bring more animals here!?" Lisanna said excitedly.
"Mhm, anything you want." He said
"Ooo can you bring a monkey here?" Lisanna asked.
"Sure stand back kids. Don't want you to get hurt." The blue cat said. He jumped off the dog and the three of them walked back a little.
Happy started waving his stick in the air, A cloud of smoke came out of the dog, until it was covered in smoke. They couldn't see the dog anymore but heard big thundering sounds coming.
Lucy looked up to see if it was a storm and saw no clouds in the sky. Lucy looked back down and saw the cloud of smoke covering the dog get smaller.
Once the smoke vanished all that was left standing there was a-
"A Chicken!" Lisanna said surprised. She rushed over to the cat and picked him up.
"You told me you can make me a monkey." She said to Happy. He rubbed a paw in the back and his head and laughed a little.
"Well my magic is acting up; it's been doing that a lot lately. I have to get that fixed." He said
"What happened to the dog? I didn't know you were going to make it disappear too!" Lisanna said to the cat.
"Well you can only have one animal at the farm at a time" Happy said trying to pry Lisanna's hands off of him.
She let the cat go and he walked over to the chicken and pet it. "Who's a good girl" He said to the chick. The chicken clucked and ran away from them.
"I'd rather have the dog back than a chicken." Lisanna said watching the chicken run around the field.
"Oh I can change it back!" Happy said. He snapped his paw and the chicken turned back into a dog. The dog ran up to Lisanna and whimpered.
"There, there I'm here for you boy." She said sitting in the grass scooping the dog up into her lap.
Soon after the two of them went off playing again in the field. Happy sighed and looked over to Lucy and Natsu.
"I wished she'd play with me like that." He said. He started walking and vanished out of nowhere. Lucy then heard her handbook ring and she took it out. She saw the number five light up. She put her note book away and looked over to Natsu.
The pink haired boy grabbed her hand and led her into the farm house. Once they were in there they saw a boy looking at something on the wall. They approached him and Natsu put an hand on his shoulder. The boy shrieked at the contact and fell into the wall knocking everything down.
"Chill Droy its just me." Natsu told him. He held out a hand to help the boy back up. He took Natsu's hand but they both struggled to help him back up.
"Wow, he's even heavier than you Luce," Natsu said. Lucy just rolled her eyes at him. She went over and offered to help them. The boy grabbed Lucy with his other hand and the three of them tried together to get him up.
Finally they got him up, and they were all out of breath.
"Droy did you eat all the animals off this farm." Natsu said. The large boy scoffed and turned to pick up packets off of the floor.
Lucy went over to help him pick all the packets off the floor. When she picked one up she noticed they were flower seeds. The wall the boy was looking at contained different seeds to plant.
"I don't have time to eat right now; I have to find the perfect flowers." He said.
"Why are you looking for flowers?" Lucy asked him.
"Well you see I met this girl." He said this and started blushing.
"She's really cute and small, I want to find rich blue flowers to give to her." He said, " So they can match her beautiful hair." He whispered the last part.
"Look for flowers for Levy?" Natsu asked him. He turned around to Natsu with a shocked face.
"How did you know?" He asked Natsu.
"Only people here with blue hair is Juvia and Levy, and Juvia isn't small." Natsu said. He finally got down and started picking packets with them.
"And when you met her earlier you were acting all weird." Natsu added.
"I wasn't acting weird! It's called Flirting Natsu."The boy told the pink haired boy.
"Yeah Yeah." Natsu said.
"Hey you're a girl, what flowers should I give her?" The boy asked looking over to Lucy.
"Uhm I wouldn't know, I don't even know who Levy is." Lucy said scratching the back of her head looking away.
"Come on there has to be a flower I can give to her." He said
"The only blue flower I can think of is brunnera, there like small blue flowers." Lucy said.
"THAT'S IT!" He said dropping the packets he had in his hands and grabbing Lucy's arms. He started shaking her.
"THANK YOU SOO MUCH YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER- uhhh, oh I don't know your name." He said and finally stopped shaking Lucy.
"It's Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy said shaking her head from the dizziness.
"I'm Droy Chiba." He said to Lucy. He went back to picking up the packets from the floor.
"Nice to meet you Droy" Lucy said giving him a smile, She started picking back up the packets as well.
"So what's your talent Droy?" Lucy asked walking over to put the packets on the table by the wall.
"I'm the Ultimate Gardner." He said putting his stack of seeds next to her.
"Oh that's why you want to give her flowers?" Lucy asked him.
"Yeah I want to show off my talent and get her something meaningful." He said with stars in his eyes.
"What's your talent Lucy?" He asked her.
"Oh I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student!" Lucy said with pride. He grabbed her and started shaking her again.
"PLEASE LUCKY STUENT WISH ME LUCK SO THAT I GET WITH LEVY!" He said shaking her harder.
"Okay, okay please stop shaking me." Lucy said feeling herself get dizzy again.
"Now that I have luck on my side, there is no way I'm not getting with her." He said. He picked up a packet from the table and made way out of the farm house.
"THANK YOU LUCY!" He said and ran out. Lucy heard her handbook ring and she took it out her bag. She saw the number fourteen light up on. She put closed the app and put her handbook back in her bag.
"Alright come on good luck charm." Natsu said grabbing Lucy's hand. They walked out of the farm and made their way once again to the next stop.
They quickly came up to a place that looked like an airport. It was much smaller than the airports Lucy was used to. It had only one entrance and exit it seemed. Cool air hit their face as they entered, In the far back they could see 2 big planes sitting beyond a glass wall. The inside of the airport seemed to be smaller than the outside, It had one terminal to the far left of the opening. In the middle laid 4 rows of seating facing off of one another and in the far back next to the glass wall was baggage claim. Three guys sat in the middle seeming to be in deep discussion.
Natsu stalked his way over to the three of them and with Lucy in tow behind him. As the approached them there chatter stopped and they looked up at the two of them.
"Hey, what're you guys up to?" Natsu said plopping down next to the big blond guy, the buff white haired guy crossed his arms and shook his head.
"Were only doing our manly duty and finding a way off this place?"
"And how's that going?" Asked Natsu
"Can't find any damn thing fer the planes" A guy with long black hair who had alot of piercings spoke up, he looked over to Lucy who was still standing and grunted.
"Yer tha chick that fell asleep?" He asked Lucy, she shyly nodded then went to go sit next to Natsu.
"Well since your up now we can finish introductions so this cat can give us some answers." The blond hair said. He looked over to Lucy sternly, " My name is Laxus Dreyar, the Ultimate electrician."
"Nice to meet you Laxus. I am Lucy Heartfilia, Ultimate Lucy Student." Lucy said trying to give her best smile, but something about this guy's presence made her feel really intimidated.
"So you're who the old man got this year." He said. Laxus turned his head and stared back out at the planes.
The white haired guy stood up and walked over to Lucy, he stretched his hand out and said, " Nice to meet ya, I'm Elfman Strauss the Ultimate Beast Tamer."
Lucy took his hand and he yanked her out of her chair, shaking her hand violently. After he stopped Lucy had to tried to gain her balance again. She felt a soft hand behind her steady her so she wouldn't fall. Once she got her footing she turned to Elfman and smiled. "You must be Mira's and Lisanna's brother." She said, she sat back down next to Natsu.
"Yeah I'm their manly brother, here to protect them at all cost!" He shouted.
"Shut yer trap before I shut it fer ya!" The long haired boy said. Elfman sat back down and nodded his head with a grin on his face.
"Name's Gajeel Redfox, 'm tha Ultimate Mechanic." He spoke to Lucy.
Lucy nodded and smiled, she looked over to planes and asked them a question "Where you guys here trying to get the plane to work again."
"Yeah," Laxus started
"But it's impossible to fix." Gajeel finished.
Lucy gave them a puzzled look, "What do you mean."
"If tha plane was busted me 'nd blondie over here could've fixed it." Gajeel said.
"But the thing is hollow, totally not manly at all." Elfman said.
"Whoever put us on this island made sure we would have no way to leave." Laxus cut in.
Lucy stayed quiet for a minute and started thinking over the events of this past day. No one knew how they got here, they were the only ones on this deserted island, there was no way to leave, and it seemed no other living breathing thing was on this island with them.
The questions started swimming in her head; she needed answers to these questions fast. But the only way seemed to be if everyone got to know each other first. It seemed Lucy would have to finish this up fast.
A ring bought Lucy back to the present. She took her handbook out of her bag and opened up the student info app. 3 numbers where glowing this time; nine, fifteen, and ten. Lucy looked and saw she had one more number left to light up. She was almost done with introductions then she would get some answers to her questions.
"Are ya almost done? So we can get this cat to fess up." Gajeel asked her. She looked up from her handbook and shook her head.
"No I still have one more to go." She said.
"Well you better get to it; the faster you are the closer we get to leaving." Laxus said standing up and walking towards the exit.
Lucy got up at the same time as Natsu. She followed as Natsu made his way towards the exit too, leaving Gajeel and Elfman in the airport. Before they left she heard Gajeel tell Elfman to search for any tools her could use for the planes.
Natsu and Lucy walked a little ways to a bridge that stretched far off into the water.
"Where does this bridge lead?" Lucy asked Natsu when they stepped onto the bridge.
"To the central island." Natsu said.
Lucy looked off to the side of the bridge as they walked across. It seemed they had some time because the bridge was long. Lucy looked off on either side and saw two other islands. The one on the right had what seemed to have something that looked like ruins and a diner? The other on one on the left had what seemed to be a warehouse. Lucy stared off into the endless sea, it seemed like civilization was too far for her to swim too. She sighed, how long was she going to be here on this island stuck with these people. She had no idea who any of these people were and it seemed weird. Was anyone back home worried about them, did they even know they were stuck out here.
They made their way over to the center in silence. Lucy lost in thought, and who knows what was going on with Natsu. Lucy looked over to the pink haired boy who was just staring up ahead with a scowl on his face, his hands where in his pocket.
They finally made it to the center island. It was a lot smaller than the island they just left. They started walking the path and Lucy saw other gates leading the other various islands here. These gates were closed shuts and had signs that said no trespassing on the front. They passed a mountain that had a sign that said ' WELCOME TRAVELERS' on it.
On Lucy left it seemed it be a whole bunch of trees and bushes, almost like a forest. And on Lucy's right were just sand and water as they kept walking along the path on the little island.
Natsu stopped in front of a little sign, Lucy looked over and read that it was the ' Tenrou Park'. Natsu started walking towards the tree's and Lucy followed. As they entered Lucy saw a path that led to a big area in the middle. When they emerged from the tree's they saw a park that seemed to be right in the middle of this little island. There were benches scattered in corners of the park and some tables. In the middle of the park was a huge statue, the statue was decorated by 5 dragons that wrapped around each other in a crazy way. To Lucy it looked like they were all trying to sit together on what seemed to be a throne at the bottom of them. A large white plaque was at the bottom of the statue, it read " Tenrou Island- Land of the Fairies.'
Beside the plaque was a short girl with blue hair. She had on yellow glasses and was concentrating hard on the statue, she would look down and read the plaque then go back up to stare at the dragons.
Natsu and Lucy walked over to her; she seemed oblivious to their arrival, still concentrating on the statue.
"Yo Levy." Natsu said. The girl ignored him and still studied the statue.
"Levy?" Natsu stepped up to her and put his hand on her shoulder. She shrieked and jumped away from Natsu touch. She looked around terrified until her eyes landed on Natsu and Lucy. She relaxed and walked back over to them
"Jeez guys you scared me," She said, a light blush dusting her cheeks. She rubbed the back of her head and gave them a sheepish smile.
"I was so caught up with this statue I didn't notice you came."
"Sorry Lev, was just bring Luce by to meet you." Natsu said, he walked over and gave the girl a little pat on the head and smiled.
The blue haired girl looked up to Natsu and her mood seemed to brighten, She looked over to Lucy excitedly and held out her hand.
"I'm Levy McGarden, It's nice to meet you Lucy." She said with excitement laced through her voice.
Lucy couldn't help but smile back at the small girl. She took her hand shook it "I'm Lucy Heartfilia-, Oh wait you already know my name." Lucy said, the small girl giggled and let go of Lucy's hand.
"I know your talent too. You're the Ultimate Lucky Student." She said.
Lucy looked at the girl shocked. "How did you know?"
"I looked up who everyone was before I got here. Though I didn't get much on you." She said. She started mumbling something under her breath. The she looked up at Lucy.
"Ah I forgot to tell you mines, I am the Ultimate Pantomath" She said brightly.
Natsu spoke up, " Whats a Pantomath?" He asked Levy.
"A Pantomath is a person whose astonishingly wide interest and knowledge span the entire range of the arts and science." Levy explained, but Natsu stilled looked confused.
"Huh?" He asked.
Levy sighed "Basically its someone who knows almost everything." She said.
"Oh so you know everything?" Lucy asked her.
"Not really, I only know what books can tell. Which I guess in turn made people believe I know everything." She said.
"I like to read a lot. Everywhere I go I must have a book. And with my good memory it just helped me to become extra smart."
"That's fascinating." Lucy said in awe.
"Thanks!" Levy said cheerfully, she looked over to the statue again and rubbed her hand on her chin.
"I know I've seen this statue before. This island, I know it but I just can't think of it right now." Levy said under her breath.
"You know about this island?" Lucy asked looking up at the statue with her.
"Yes, I think I read about it a while ago. Tenrou island…" Levy left off. Natsu looked up to the statue too.
"Hey this is the same dragon Igneel always carries around." Natsu pointed to the dragon on the bottom of the statue.
"Igneel…." Levy repeated. She seemed to be lost in thought and continued scanning the statue.
"Who is Igneel?" Lucy asked Natsu. He turned to her and scowled. "He's my dad." Natsu said. He crossed his arms and closed his eyes, he shook his head and started making his way over to a bench. To Lucy it looked like Natsu was trying to stop himself from becoming angry, but angry for what?
"Ah- I think I got it!" Levy spoke up. Lucy turned to Levy who was jumping up and down excitedly.
"I think this was that famous vacation island they had in the news!" She started
"Apparently they had to close it down because a tsunami hit and destroyed most of the island. It was beyond repair and they were selling it off to investors."
Lucy paused, this island was destroyed? But right now it looks perfectly fine, Like it's never been touched by any natural disaster.
"How is this island still standing how it is now if it got hit by a tsunami?" Lucy asked.
Levy looked puzzled. "That's what threw me off. This place looks totally fine. And I don't remember them every saying they rebuilt it, or that it got sold off."
"Also they said that back when this island was operating they hand thousands of people come here daily. But right now it's just us 16 students here. If you count Happy its 17." Levy looked lost in thought again. She raised her glasses higher on the bridge of her nose.
A ring came from both of their handbooks and they jumped at the sudden noise. Lucy took out her handbook and went to the same app. When she opened it balloons popping noise come out and congratulations spread across the screen. She looked down to see all 16 lights filled in, the number eleven blinking showing that was the last number Lucy achieved.
"Congratulations!" Happy's cheerful voiced boomed into the park.
The three of them turned to the monitor that had Happy's face plastered on it.
"*sniff* I'm *sniff* just so proud of you all" He began to cry.
"You all got your first hope fragment!"
"I have a surprise for all of you. Meet me at the beach ASAP!" He said and the video cut off.
"Let's go see what he wants." Natsu said. He guided her and Levy out of the park and back to the beach where they all started at.
Once they got there half of the class was already there in idly chit chatter. Happy was nowhere to be seen and it seemed like the sun was setting soon.
"What's this all about?" Cana asked coming up to them. She plopped down on the sand next to them and took out her flask.
"We don't know we just got here." Levy answered.
"I hope that stupid cat starts explaining why where here." Cana said throwing her flask in the air.
"That's what we all are hoping for." Erza said coming up to them. She looked at Cana and gave her a stern look.
"You should not be drinking underage." She said to the girl
"Who said anything about this being alcohol, for all we know this can be water." Cana said giving Erza a lazy grin.
"I can smell you from right here, you reek of alcohol." Erza scrunched up her nose. Cana just laughed and patted the spot next to her.
"Come on Erza let up a little, here try some." She handed the flask to Erza but the red head just looked up her in disappointment.
After 15 minutes passed all the students were settled on the beach. They waited for the blue cat to come so they can talk about the one thing on every ones mind.
"I'm glad you all made it!" Happy voiced boomed around them. They looked around then saw him standing next to the sea
"You all did well today! You deserve a reward he said."
"What's the reward?" Erza asked.
"Something super duper awesome! Everyone will love it!"
"Better not b' some dumb keychain." Gajeel said.
"Way to ruin the fun!" Happy said on the brink of tears.
"Wait was that actually the surprise?" Jet said looking down at the cat.
"Well yeah! That and something else. But you all will probably think its lame." Happy said. He turned around and started kicking at the sand.
"Hold on we have a few questions." Levy spoke up. Happy slowly turned around and looked at them.
"*sigh* what's your questions?" Happy said sadly.
"First we would like to know how we got here?" Erza spoke up.
"Duh I brought you here in the classroom." Happy said rolling his eyes.
"But that's not possible-"She began but happy cut her off.
"Anything is possible with magic!" He said
"Magic ain't real" Gajeel said.
"Uhuh" Happy teased.
"Okay if we were to say magic is real-"Levy started "Please explain why where here? On Tenrou island if it got destroyed by a tsunami?" Levy asked. Shock crossed over most of the students face while the others looked confused.
"Oh easy I just tidied up the place before you guys arrived!" Happy exclaimed.
"But how? This place was a disaster, and you can't tell me you fixed everything by yourself." Levy said.
"Yeah my magic is pretty limited. But we got a funding from Fairy Tail to build this back up!"
"Wait so Fairy Tail bought out Tenrou Island?" Levy gasped.
"Mhm, we wanted to use it for your class specifically." Happy explained.
"Why?" Jellal spoke up.
"Well we wanted to make a way for you guys to bond and get to know your classmates better. We didn't want to swamp you with school work and training. We thought it'd be best to take you all on a relaxing vacation where you guys can strengthen you bonds and become a family." Happy explained to them. Everyone looked around confused then Natsu spoke up.
"How long are we suppose to be here for?" He asked.
"3 Months!" Happy answered,
"3 months, I can't stay 3 months I have a track meet in 2 weeks!" Jet yelled. Soon everyone else was throwing their complaints around.
"Calm down everyone it's okay. We already organized this. Anything you had planned for the next 3 months have been put on hold. They said they will wait for you guys to return back." Happy said.
"Wait so everyone knows we're here?" Gray asked.
"Mhm, we couldn't just take you without a parents consent." Happy said.
Everyone looked uneasy still, Happy sighed. He flapped his wings on his back and soared a little above them all.
"Listen everyone it's okay. Maybe if we go through with the second surprise you guys will feel more at ease." He said.
"Juvia would like to know what the other surprise is?" the blue haired girl spoke up. Happy swung his staff in the air. Out of thin air duffle bags appeared by their feet.
Lucy bent down and looked inside; it had a towel and a school swimsuit inside.
"Were going to have a barbeque on the beach!" Happy exclaimed. Everyones ears seemed to perk up to that.
"Will there be steak there?" Droy asked.
"We can have whatever you guys want!" Happy said
Everyone quickly made way to the resort to get changed, it seemed like food was this groups weekness. Most running but a few stayed behind.
Lucy was still deep in thought about the whole thing. They were still here all alone and how could a school afford all of this? How did they get permission for Lucy to go when she was all alone. It seemed to skeptical for her and she just couldn't face the reality she was in right now.
Cana laid next to Lucy drinking whatever was in her flask. She looked off into the direction everyone ran too. Lucy looked down at her,
"Why aren't you going to get dressed?" She asked her.
"Waddya mean, I'm already dressed." She pointed to her bra that she had exposed.
"School swimsuits only!" Happy exclaimed.
"Awe man, give me five mins and I'll get dressed." She said then laid down on the sand.
Lucy looked over and saw Gajeel sitting under a tree with his eyes closed humming. Under another tree Jellal sat with his book and a water bottle next to him. Laxus was leaning against the rocks on the far side of the beach staring off into the ocean.
Soon everyone came rushing back to the beach and running into the water. Lucy looked as everyone was having fun. She felt a twinge in her heart that she didn't feel the same joy everyone around her was experiencing.
Levy came up to Lucy, "Why aren't you dressed yet Lu?" She asked
"I'm sorry- It's just everything is still too surreal for me. I can't believe none of this is happening. And were forced to stay here we can't go home for 3 months!" Lucy exclaimed.
Levy tapped her chin and looked up to Lucy, she gave her a bright smile. "Everyone here is worried Lucy, but there is nothing we can do about this now. It's good to just live in the moment and enjoy it while you can."
Lucy looked over to Levy. Her bright smile made Lucy wonder if she could enjoy this moment too. Deep in her brown eyes Lucy could still see worry in them but right now she was trying to put it aside to enjoy herself.
Levy got beckoned over by Juvia and joined her in the water. Everyone playing and having fun made Lucy worry less about the situation.
She bent down and grabbed her duffle bag and made her way towards the resort.
"Be right there guys!" She yelled while making her way off the beach.
As Lucy ran off she felt a single drop of rain hit her cheek. She stopped and looked up. Quickly clouds where forming in the sky. She heard everyone yelling and running out of the water. She quickly ran back to them and watched as a huge storm started brewing above them.
"Kehuhuhuhuhu!" A cheerfully creepy voiced laughed. Lucy looked around and saw nothing. Then the monitor lit up.
"Ahem this is a school announcement. Please students quickly head over to Tenrou Park." The silhouette on monitor spoke. Then the monitor went out.
"How did he get here?!" Happy said angrily. He looked over to the students and raised his paws for them to stay.
"You guys stay here I'll handle it." He said. He hurried and flew away from the beach.
"Yo that was weird." Gray said.
"It's certainly worrisome." Erza said. She picked up her duffle bag and started making her way to the resort.
"You five, go to the park and see who that was." She stated to them." The rest of us will get dressed and meet you there." She said. Everyone else in their bathing suit picked up there bag and ran back to the resort.
The five of them walked crossed the bridge to Tenrou park. Not a single word said between them.
Lucy couldn't help but think things were going to turn for the worse from here on out.
