Hello my lovely snowflakes!
I'm finally back!
I want to thank those of you already favorited and followed this story because you gave me the power to write at least a little more everyday!
Well okay I'm sure you don't want to read about things you don't really care about soooooooooo...
...let's enter the snowstorm!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN FAIRY TAIL OR IT'S CHARACTERS!
"Natsu! Get down here or you'll be late!"
Monday morning. The first day of school.
Natsu was already dressed in his school uniform, which still managed to be dull and embarrassing at the same time. Green plaid shorts, white button-up shirt, dark green blazer, a red bow tie, and brown dress shoes. Yup, boring yet embarrassing.
He grabbed his backpack that was leaning against his bed and took one last look at himself in the mirror before exiting his room and going down the stairs.
"Finally!" His mother, Grandine, threw her hands up in an exaggerated fashion before resting them on her hips. "Better eat fast if you want a ride today." She swept her long, blue hair out of her face before continuing to tamper with the food on the table.
"Igneel, is Wendy ready yet?" she called out. "Almost!" Igneel replied. A few seconds later, Wendy came bounding down the steps with Igneel following. "Here she is!"
Grandine's face immediately lit up as she looked at her daughter dressed in her outfit for her first day. She had on a blue and white stripped dress with navy blue Mary Janes. Her hair was up in two pig tails and she was wearing her rainbow backpack.
"Awwwww! Look at my little girl all ready for her very first day of school!" Grandine squealed as she looked at her daughter pose in various ways. "I need to get pictures! Igneel get the camera!" Grandine ran up the stairs and pushed her husband along with her.
Wendy's attention soon shifted from pleasing her mother to her older brother. "Natsu-nii!" She ran over to him and clutched the bottom of his blazer in her small fist. "Now I can be with you aaaaaall day!" A smile slowly crept it's way onto Natsu's face as he gently ruffled his sister's hair. "You know we don't have the same classes," he said softly. "I don't care! I can see you at lunchtime!"
"I got the camer-" Grandine came down to see her son smiling (an occasion that rarely happened) and her daughter holding onto him in such a cute manner. "KYYYYAAAA! It's just too cute!" She immediately started snapping pictures from various angles while her amused husband watched from the staircase.
"Mother, we'll be late for classes if we don't go soon." Natsu said stiffly. His mother sighed "How many times do I have to tell you to call me and your father Mom and Dad?" "I just choose to say mother and father." Grandine glared at her son while he just stared blankly back at her.
"I'm going back upstairs to rest. Igneel, dear, make sure you give the kids some snacks since they didn't eat breakfast. Oh, and don't leave your lunches!" She cheerfully walked up the stairs and out of sight.
"Bye Mommy!" shouted Wendy as she waved. Igneel came up behind the both of them and patted their backs. "Alright, lets go."
. . .
"Even with this connection route there's always so much traffic!" Igneel had been on the road and honking for a good ten minutes and he barely even moved from his original spot. "Looks like you kids might be slightly late today." He sighed. "School always starts an hour later on the first day. We have time." Natsu said. "Eh?! Why didn't you tell us that before! We've been dropping you off an hour early every first day of school and you said nothing?! You never tell us anything! You always just-" Natsu had already stopped listening to his father's rant and began to look at the window, like he usually does.
Got a whiteboard yet? Natsu read the words over and over again until they finally registered in his brain. He saw the same little blonde girl holding up her whiteboard to the car window. Her again? Of all people, why did it have to be her? Natsu continued to stare blankly out the the window as he tried to ignore her. She looked to the side slightly and cocked a brow at him, clearly waiting for an answer.
Natsu signed as he turned and started to dig through his organized backpack. He pulled the whiteboard and a red marker and wrote Yes on it. He pressed the board to the window and he looked to the side to see her response. Once she read the words, the huge grin she had the first time he saw her returned. Awesome!, she wrote.
Natsu sat back in his seat and put his whiteboard back into his backpack. He figured that that would be the end on of the conversation,but (once again) he was wrong. She was holding her whiteboard up to the window again and this time it read So what's your name Pinky?
Natsu stared at the girl in disbelief. Dis she just really call him 'Pinky'? He pulled his board out again and furiously wrote Don't call me Pinky, Blondie!
Once the girl saw what he wrote, a scowl crossed her features. Hey! I only called you Pinky because I don't know your name!
Then I only called you Blondie because I don't know your name.
Liar! You do know my name!
No I do not! I have never seen you before in my life!
Lies! I told you last week when you were in your car!
No you did not! All you did was look at me like an idiot!
I'm not the idiot, you are!
The two young children continued to scribble comments to each other back-and-forth without noticing their families staring at them, all of them confused, but to curious to stop the actions. After a few minutes, when no one had any more mean remarks to make, they just intensely stared at each other through the window until Lucy's hard scowl softened. Look, I'm sorry for getting angry at you. It's just that I thought I told you my name already.
Natsu's features also softened. I am sorry too. I never really lose control like that, I guess being called 'Pinky' struck a nerve.
Lucy.
What?
My name's Lucy.
Lucy?
That's my name don't wear it out!
Uh, sure? I am Natsu.
Why do you do that?
Do what?
Write out the whole words instead of using abbreviations.
What do you mean? I do not do that.
You just did! Why not just say 'don't' and 'I'm' and 'didn't'?
It is not proper writing grammar.
Who cares?
I care! Abbreviations are only meant to be used in speech, so I do not use it in writing.
Whatever weirdo.
I am not weird!
Sure you're not...
Lucy's mother, Layla, turned to her daughter. "Whatever it is that you're doing, you need to stop because we're about to make our turn." "Okay Mama!" said Lucy.
Mama says that we're about to make our turn, so this is goodbye for now WBB!
WBB?
Yeah, it stands for Whiteboard Buddy!
Why not just call me by my name?
Nah, I like using nicknames!
And you say I am the weirdo.
Who's the one talking to a girl through a window with a whiteboard?
Hey! You are doing it too!
Yeah, yeah. See ya later Natsu!
Lucy's car turned off of the Magnolia connection route and into one of Fiore's streets. "Natsu-nii, who were you writing to just now?" Wendy asked curiously while sitting in her car seat. "Nobody Wendy." Natsu turned away from the window, finding no more interest in staring outside. "But I wanna know! Lt me out of this thing so I can see!" She started to flail her arms and legs around, trying to make a big scene. "Wendy," Igneel said in a dominant voice. "Remember, this is the reason why we keep you in a car seat even at the age of four."
Wendy stopped her movements and stared at her father with wide eyes. "But Daddy!" "No buts! Either stay calm or we'll have to order an adult sized car seat for when you become a teen." Wendy pouted and crossed her arms over her chest and started to mumble nonsense. Natsu just sighed and waited patiently for the car to finally arrive at his school.
And we've made it to the ice castle!
Okay, I think this is a good stopping place for now since It's been a week since I posted the first chapter.
What do you guys think so far? I'm sorry if I'm boring you right now, but we'll get to the good stuff soon!
Make sure to leave a review! It'll make me shmile (^U^)
*Stand. Bow. Aye Sir!*
And I'll see ya next storm!
